Completely agree with the crazy pricing of the sony kit. They have gone down the path of very high optical quality in large packages with the lenses, but these don't seem to fit that well with the a7 bodies. Its a shame they couldn't have designed lenses more like Leica is size (I realise they would be larger for the af). I suspect the lens mount diameter and cover glass of the sensor are forcing larger lenses designs.
Having said that the a7s with the 15mm voigtlander looks like a nice combo.
Certainly comparing a Canikon system of a 5Diii or D750 with some small primes would end up smaller and a lot cheaper.
I think Fuji have got a better balance in terms of lens size. I'm currently trying to decide between a fuji or mft system. i'm on the fence with the 100-400s and gh4 or x-t2. The mft system would actually work out a fair bit lighter and smaller, plus I can buy a gh4 at a much reduced price. Another option would be d7200 and 300mm F4 pf...decisions!
