It's a little larger than I want but compared to other camera specs you cant beat it! I'm trying to make it more low profile with a leather case: http://www.angelo-pelle.com …lf-case-handstitched.html (external link)

Its from Euro but should be a great street un-intimidating setup. Anyone else going this route?

i had to make a compromise. The other options dont come comes to this camera's features... and yea i want the case to look less intimidating.

I use a half case with my a7II...did the same with my a7r.

The advantage is that they cases add just enough height to fit my pinky onto the body, making it much more comfortable to hold.

Lenses are in my signature....its a mix of FD lenses, EF lenses, and native FE primes.

the FD85 1.2L is a gem...not exactly cheap, but compared to the price of the EF 85 1.2, its a bargain. I did a side by side comparison between the FD and EF version, and they're optically identically to me.
