I think Sonny has one also. I have the 24-70 zoom, rather bulky but handy. My fervent wish is that Sony will come up with an e-mount version of the lovely Zeiss 35mm f/2 that?s built into the RX-1. That would make a nice walk-around bit of kit. If they don?t, an adapter for the 35mm ?lux would be in order. And for Christmas my lovely wife bestowed on me a gorgeous pair of Swarovski SLC 8 x 56 binoculars, size and magnification chosen to maximize the brightness of faint celestial objects on the darkest of nights, which I?ll be having in April when I attend the OzSky Safari at Coonabarabran not far from Sydney. I wanted this binocular specifically, but it?s not sold in the U.S., so I had to find a U.K. dealer (a hunting outfitter named ?Gunrunner?) who?d obtain a pair and ship it to me. Worked beautifully. ?howard > On Jan 20, 2017, at 1:34 PM, Douglas Barry <imra at iol.ie> wrote: > > Daa daahhh, the unveiling - Nikon binoculars and a Sony A7ii. > The 12x50 binoculars work very well in low light despite a reasonable > price, but I'm still reading the camera manual.
