Nothing strange about it: the lens size is not related to the size of the camera body, but to the film/sensor format.bfitzgerald wrote:It's a massively overlooked area and it's made even worse with the oversized lens designs of late
Very strange
Prime lenses, other than the 90 Macro, are not that big. The 24-70 f4 is compact if you compare it to the 24-70 f2.8 (It is as big as the Minolta 24-85, a little bit heavier because the lens construction) and the 70-200 f4 is also compact if you compare it to the 70-200 f2.8
I have the A7R, that I use for personal projects, and I got the A7S last month that I'm using now on my event's jobs (AF is better in low light and 12MP is what I need, 24 MP is too much...) I don't need a third A7 body.
I think that, at the actual price, the A7 body is perfect for people that want to give their old manual lenses a digital life - don't know if you have any manual focus lenses, or just A-mount lenses.
