Since you've shot full frame Canon and Nikon, I'd think you would already know what focal length you need for the type of shooting you like to do. Why not first narrow that down as right now you are all over the map from ultra wide 15mm to normal wide 28/35mm.
Personally for street my most used lens is either the 28mm or 35 2.8, both of which are plenty sharp for what I need and very light / compact which is important to me. I'd never just have a 15mm or even an 18 or 21mm lens as my only lens for street shooting. ...Show more →
Well, I have a friend who's shot with the Voigt 15 for years and swears by it, both for IQ (he got a good copy years ago) and size/weight. I admit that 15mm is MUCH wider than I'm used to, though.
On Canon/Nikon, I usually own their 24-70/2.8 offering and have tended to shoot closer to 24mm.
24mm doesn't quite seem wide enough sometimes for indoor wide-angle shots, which is why I'm entertaining the 18 and 21mm fl.
The Sony 28 and 35 seem nice due to size/weight/IQ but I'm not sure whether they're too wide to tickle my fancy. I'd rather spend $1000 on a lens that turns me on than a $400 lens that's "very nice" that sits in my bag.
Some of these lenses do also have an increased learning curve associated with them as they are MF and I have always been an AF guy.
I am leaning toward the Batis 25 (due to AF, weight, and IQ) but thought I might as well check in with the FM group-mind before I pulled the trigger.
