Did you end up buying the 28/2 FE Jordan ? Thought you were pretty turned off by the distortion of the lens when you reviewed it.
I did. Eventually I realized I wanted a native wide angle, and I couldn't justify the price on the 35/2.8, and I didn't want something super huge (or the cost) of the 35/1.4. While the 28/2 isn't perfect, it's a pretty good lens for a reasonable price and it's somewhat versatile. I'm going to add the 16-35 soon and after testing it the past few days, I'm going to get the Metabones and EF 70-200/4L for my telephoto zoom. Quality is excellent (as was known) and AF speed is quite good on the new firmware...almost native speed in good light. Buying a used 70-200 will let me net that combo for around half what the FE 70-200/4 costs. I may also then add the EF 85/1.8 or 100/2. I was going to go for the Batis in this range, but for the price of the Batis, I can get the 70-200, the adapter and the 100/2. Seems to be the way to go. If the PDAF wasn't good, I'd go another route, but I've been really pleasantly surprised.
