You know, after my little speech, then seeing yet another of Joshua's triumphant FE 35/1.4 shots, maybe we need the Loxia 35 for some smaller f/stops, and then the Sony for the wider apertures? Nothing a small fortune won't resolve! That's some beautiful imaging he provides and a strong argument for a different lens approach based on different subjects.
Ha! Funny, Joshua and I have pm'd back and forth about that! His portraits with the FE 35 1.4 are absolutely incredible. Ive thought about trading my FE 50 for one...but I just can't get rid of it. So I'd have to rent or buy one. The only thing is the copy variation is supposedly bad. We'll see...
