Ok, so I know that the manual focus lenses from Zeiss, Voigtlander, and others are pieces of sculptural and mechanical art, beautiful to hold in the hand, with buttery focus movements and satiny black finishes made of metal. But they don't work terribly well (not nearly as well as MF on the old manual SLRs with split focusing screens) with mirrorless cameras for candid photographs of people (or kids, or animals) when you are trying to catch life on the move.
I am trying out the Voigtlander 40mm 1.2, which is a beautiful lens, but as I try to grab a shot of my wife and daughter-in-law-to-be stuffing wedding invitations at the dining room table, the need to manually focus destroys the opportunity for a relaxed and natural photograph.
If I still had my Canon 50mm 1.2 L, I might have gotten the shot!
So, what are the best native Sony lenses for shooting life as it happens? AF only, please.
