new Sony 24-70/2.8 GM, 70-200/2.8 GM and 85/1.4 GM plus TCs

@borisbg: About the costs: I paid around 500 for the X-E2 body. After the firmware update I pretty much have the same as a new X-E2s.The lenses are costly and as well a bit steeper priced than common DX glass for DSLRs - but that's the difference that Nikon manufactures the cheaper f/1.8 glass in China and Fuji is based in Japan with lower quantities of lenses. It's true, the A7RII or A7SII is expensive - but the A7II is reasonably priced and pretty competitive to other 24MP FF DSLRs.

 

Adapters are a huge field (and the good ones aren't cheap), but I've accepted that AF with Nikkors in front of a Fuji is wishful thinking. However, the genuine lenses are so much smaller than the FF glass, that I will use the DSLR when I need one of the FF lenses. Otherwise it's just too bulky, although manual focussing is quick with the focus aid.

 

As for the quality of the Sony lenses, I found the portrait gallery on DPReview quite convincing (85/1.4). And now I'm out in the rainy streets and try this 35/2 WR, how good it will behave in low light, we have carnival here in town.  ^_^
