Yeah, I think you would want the A7 II with the Sony/Zeiss 55 f/1.8. It will be noticeably bigger, but way smaller than your 6D Sigma 50 f/1.4 kit and you get IBIS too. If you want a true 50, then try the Zeiss Loxia 50 f/2 with the A7 II, you might like the rendering better and it is a phenomenal lens. Yeah, you have to manual focus, but I doubt that would both you too much. The 50 f/2 can have a bit busy bokeh in some situations, but just the way 50mm lenses typically do.
I'd really want something faster than f/2, so the Sony might be the only option in that case, not the Loxia.

I wish they'd make more 50/1.4's, maybe even if they just reworked old designs (would like an af version of OM 50/1.4 for m4/3.)
Will an old Maxxum 1.4 work somehow? I guess that is only for dslr and would require an adapter?
Yeah, I wished they did that too!

Fuji XA-1 with the 35/1.4 would be my suggestion. A little less resolution and a smaller sensor, but both camera and lens are gems and the package will cost less than most 50/1.4's.
DR on the 16MP APS-C sensor is a little behind the 24MP FF sensor, but still notably better than any Canon sensor. No X-Trans issues either as it's Bayer.
Flip side would be the A6000 with the ZA FE 35/1.4, but that's seriously nose-heavy and twice the cost of the Fuji setup.
Interesting suggestion, but I'm hooked on full-frame now. Can't go back to crop

If your going as bnig as the 35mm 1.4 ZA, try the 50mm 1.4 ZA with the adapter. It is superb and smaller than the 35mm 1.4

Hmm, interesting. It'd still be a pretty big setup with the required adapter, yes?

Patrick, you should check out a7II and ZM Sonnar 50/1.5 samples. It's not the sharpest fast fifty, but it is, in my opinion, the most fun to shoot.
Now THAT's an interesting suggestion. I've always been interested by the C-Sonnar...images I've seen seem lovely. Downsides are: CA, long close focus distance, not AF?

This is one of the best 50mm out there. It has amazing micro contrast and some of the most beautiful bokeh I have ever seen on any lens.
Yeah, I think I'm going to have to check that out.
Doesn't a ZM 50 1.4 planar exist? Or is going to exist at some point?
