Thanks for the size guide - and thank the model, Brother Lee Love, for giving us such a good indicator. Seriously, couldn't you have put it next to a coffee mug or a ruler, or anything we actually do know the size of?

A low pass filter you can switch on and off. It would be camera of the year If the A7R MK ii hadn't got there first. Rich mans toy, if only I was rich.
What makes it so good is that the lens is optimised for the camera, giving unsurpassed image quality.
