FYI that 50mm lens is slowest to focus that I've seen in last 15 years. It's super noisy too if you plan to do video with autofocus, hard pass

I just picked up the alpha A7R Mark ii on Friday and I paid about that amount. Open box at Bestbuy I also paid 587 for the 24-70 mm zeiss lens and over the weekend picked up the 16 mm pancake lens for 250, I am content for now.

Agreed, I had that lens, the guy who sold it to me (used) even disclosed that openly - it is really slow to focus, like 1-2 seconds sometimes, and you can indeed hear the motor; it is very quiet, but not silent - I bought the Sigma 56mm f1.4 for 3x the price then resold this lens.

Anyone know if the 85mm F1.8 is also slow-focusing and noisy?

The 85mm is fast and silent. Great lens with some chromatic aberration .

Seconded! The Sony 85 1.8 is one of their best bang for the buck lenses in Sony's lineup. I own the lens and its great for the price. Its no G-Master but is also a fraction of the cost.

Yes it's a brand new camera. Even used it barely goes this low.
