I think a7 got enough lenses.

You can use Sony, Minolta, Voigtlander, Mitakon, Samyang etc

i'd go for x-t1.

the only advantage of a7ii is the depth of field.

and iso performance,i do think x-t1 is better .

im quite surprise that a7ii iso performance standard isnt up to full frame (d750 is much better )

u check the iso performance here :

After long consideration, I have bought Sony A7II + FE55 + FE28!
Main reason is Full Frame + IS smile.gif

Thanks for all the advise!

So far i have checked with few stores, walk-in and phone call and shortlisted 3 lowest one, Shashinki, DV Divine, Bintang Electronics. So far only Sony Center (too expensive) and Shashinki got ready stock.

So i bought from 2 different stores:
Sony A7II - RM4876 (Shashinki)
FE 55mm F1.8 (Import) - RM2915 (Shashinki)
FE 28mm F2 - RM1700 (DV Divine)

Hope this information helps.

By the way, I didn't look at A7 at all so i cannot tell the price.

Just got my A7MII yesterday and 1st thing to try is the Auto Focusing Tracking.
The result is superb and my son was swinging and my camera was following his face for tracking and the picture came out quite good!

Still trying and learning this beast!
