I have a very similar setup to yours. I have a Pen F with a number of lenses, my favorite being the PRO 1.2/17mm. With that lens my exposure envelope is quite large, more than large enough for me. When I travel I have a very small bag that holds the Pen F with one mounted lens, and then my short PRO 2.8/12-40mm zoom. For those discrete times I also have the 4-5.6/14-42mm EZ pancake zoom. Throw in the charger and some extra batteries, and I’m all set.

For me, the appeal of the A7C is a smaller camera that, with the kit lens, I can throw in a bag attached to my belt and circumvent the often mean hand luggage rules in Europe or Asia. And it comes with the advantages of full frame. That said, I won’t be buying one. My Pen F with a pancake lens (or collapsible kit zoom) fulfils the same purpose though it does mean sometimes sacrificing low light performance.

Funny how the α7c looks to be a “cheap” alternative body for a Leica M digital. Different price points give you different perspectives.

Although I agree with your POV on this latest addition to the Sony Stable, I have to toss in a link to an alternate view from another photographer I respect: https://wordpress.com/read/feeds/4405537/posts/2919926771
Me, I’m just not in that financial bracket. I resisted spending $300+ on a used Sony HX300/B which would suit my needs because I’m still managing to squeeze good pictures out of my ailing Nikon. (Long-winded way of saying I’m a cheapskate.)
