Great stuff Floyd! I have been thinking about the 24/1.4 for a few years now. How do you like it? Does your infinity stop actually work? Are you happy with the performance at f/1.4 and set to infinity? The only reason I would get one of these would be for astro.
Thanks. Ive only just got the lens so last night was the first outing with it shooting stars. I stopped down to f/2 for most of my shots but only because I was having trouble getting sharp images (I thought). I was also getting star trails with 15 second exposures which I wasnt expecting. I am finding that with my A7RII high ISO shots dont look sharp on the LCD but when I get them into lightroom they are. I have also found this sometimes with portraits where the eye doesnt look in focus when I zoom in on the LCD then it is when I view in lightroom. Its a bit annoying at times.
For me the lens seems fine wide open at infinity but I really need to use it a bit more to get a proper feel for it. I have used it for landscapes during the day and its tack sharp!
