Well, as usually when I dive in I go head first. I have sold everything and now have 3 Sony bodies: a77 (for work), a65 (for the g/f), and 5N. I sold my DLux4 and all of my Canon stuff. I likely will break down and get the NEX7 because I'm thinking that the ergos will be about perfect (5N could be a tad bigger for my hands).
With the NEX I'm happy with the 18-55 and 55-210 combo, especially the latter. I've warmed to the 16 and have the 50/1.8 on order. So I'm pretty much set there. For the alphas I'm in a bit more of a quandry. I got the 16-50/2.8 with the a77 and am liking that lens the more I use it. I got the 18-250 for the a65 but frankly was reminded that I don't like superzooms. And I tried the 18-55 kit lens that comes with it and was relatively impressed so I'm swapping the body/lens combo for the proper kit setup.
That leaves a lot of gaps though. I was thinking that to save money I'd get the 70-300 with the kit (only $150 as they knock $100 off). I don't shoot that long very often so seems like an inexpensive way to cover that. The other one I'm thinking of getting is the 50/1.4 as we both shoot in a lot of low light.
Any ones that I'm missing? I know the Zeiss zooms are highly regarded but seems like overkill to get a FF size lens for the APS body. And the cheaper 18-70 Zeiss DT gets so-so reviews.
