Its sharp, good rendering, colours and cheaper than both Zeiss. It's just big.

Yes it ticks all the boxes but it is huge. I might have to sacrifice a little and stick with the 55mm ziess.

I have the Sigma 50mm 1.4 ART and can vouch for how good it is. Yes it’s big and it’s not light but you can’t argue with it’s results.
My A7III is the best camera I've ever owned, by some margin. I've the G-Spot
f2.8 28-70 lens as my main one. Bit heavy but it's astonishingly good. I use the f4 Zeiss 24-70 for video and when I don't want to lug stuff about.I've always been solidly canon - the quality of this Sony however has just completely blown me away.
Camera arrived. 
. Lens arrive on Monday. 
Just wondering what software you are using for raw editing, I have both lightroom and capture one.
I've downloaded some sample raw images and the sony viewer shows perfect vibrant colors but both lightroom/capture one the colors are washed out.
I guess I need to tweak the settings.

Had used lightroom for years, but just swapped to Capture One Express I find it loads better to get the results I want and faster. Plus it's free.
My Lens arrived early on Saturday.
Sony 85mm 1.8
Samyang 35mm 2.8
Early days but so far blown away by it.
The eye af is fantastic, even my 9 year old is taking sharp images.
Need to test it properly though.
I was thinking of keeping my D750 but I don't think I need to.

Got a baby quickly growing up. Those of you that have them what lenders do you use most for when there up and about. I'm thinking the 70-200 f4 would do the job nicely. The f2.8 looks far too big and heavy.
Then you have the primes 85mm, even the 90 macro looks good especially handy that it has OSS.

70-200 is way long for candis of kids, especially indoors. Try something between 35 to 50 for day to day stuff, the Tamron 28-75/2.8 would be a great lens for this.
Already got the 24-70.
Need something longer for sure.
I was pretty sold on upgrading my D5200 to a full frame Nikon (likely the D800) in a few years time and haven't really taken much notice of these Sony camers until last night.
Damn the A7III looks like a beast of a camera, along with similarly beasty lens prices. Need to do more research.

It's not just Sony, if you look at Canon's new RF and Nikon's S mount lenses they are even MORE expensive. Everything has just got more expensive this generation from everyone.
Although there are some great lenses at reasonable prices like the Tamron 28-75/2.8.
Caporegime
The Tamron is a great lens as the Sony 24-70/2.8 about £1800
Caporegime
Lol that's still £750, yeah I have a way to go yet
If your experience of buying lenses is £140 then you are in for a shock. The Sony 35/1.4 (they don’t make 1.8) is £1500. But the Canon EF 35/1.4 is £1800....
Oh I know that is the most extreme of examples but I was overjoyed at buying my first lens, it only costing £140 and it still been my favourite lens years later 
.
£500-1000+ is what I am more used to for the higher.....until I saw some of the Sony lenses.

In that price brakcet for Sony I would look at
The entire Sigma Art lenses bar the ones above your budget obviously
The Sony 85/1.8
The Sony 55/1.8 Zeiss
The Tamron 28-75/2.8
All excellent lenses.
