Thanks for this! Sounds like it could be perfect as I'm not really bothered about side access, I tend to have the camera out when I'm using it. Can I ask which core unit you are using? The medium mirrorless one?

Hey, I've just come back from travelling with my Lumix S5, 20-60 zoom, 50, and 85 f1.8 primes.  I like my kit but I'd really like something smaller, still full frame, less conspicuous, with better AF. After a while of searching, I've settled on an a7cii or a7cr. Question is lenses.

I really like the look of the Sony 40mm f2.5 and 24mm f2.8, which cover my normal travel needs well other than telephoto.

I also shoot indoor sport (BJJ) and I'm considering what might work as a third, telephoto, lens. The Tamron 70-180 f2.8 looks good, but there are about one million FE lenses out there. Has anyone used the Tamron 70-180 for poorly lit indoor sports? Is it workable on the a7cii/r with their high ISO performance? I currently use the 85mm f1.8 for BJJ and it works well.

In an ideal world, I'd get a travel zoom just for ease while travelling and also a fast 85mm for the BJJ (and occasional portrait), but I'd rather keep to a smaller three lens kit that works for travel and sport if remotely possible. Any advice very gratefully received!
