I don't know if anyone agrees with me, but I doubt we will ever see a native auto-focusing FE f/1.4 35mm or 50mm lens (or any other focal length for that matter). I suspect that the mount is too narrow and the sensitivity to impinging angles too great for a compact lens, and I doubt a larger, more tele-centric lens will be released. It is an open question if Zeiss will release a manual focus FE lens like this.
55-58mm is where Nikon has traditionally gone to make f/1.2 lenses for their F-mount, yet Sony went there to release just an f/1.8 lens...Those and the Voigtlander 35/1.2 II.
My Revuenon 55/1.2 works very well on the A7R and that's a pretty small light weight lens.
I do hope Sony/Zeiss issue some more glass for this excellent camera. A fast 35, very fast 50-55, fast 85 and 135/2 would be great. Perhaps a 14/2.8 or 14/4.
With the FE 35/2.8, I think the balance of weight size and speed has tipped in favour of weight and size too much. Could have been a bit bigger/heavier (it's only 120 grams!) and a stop or so faster.The Sigma 35 1.4 Art lens is quite formidable; both in size and weight but also the quality of IQ. It's truly stellar IMHO.

It is but far too big. Desperately running away from anything big and heavy. Even my my K-3 turns into a 700lb gorilla and chases me in my nightmares!

I made a trade with a fellow board member and got the ZA 24/2. I don't usually go for AF lenses, but I was willing to make an exception for this one after playing with one for a bit at my local camera shop. There's a dedicated MF switch on the lens and the focus is linked mechanically. While it doesn't have a hard stop, there's a definite change when the clutch disengages, so it's a decent indicator. And I'm sure eventually my fingers won't search for an aperture ring and I'll just remember that I have to change it...Show more →
Nice! It is a very good lens. I slightly regret selling mine, but it was either by an LA-EA4 or sell the lens, and with small 21 and 28mm lenses I wouldn't be grabbing the large 24mm very often.

Dpedraza, that's really good. Is it cropped at all?

It's not cropped to my knowledge although the original isn't 6000x4000 it's 5999x3996 which is weird. I'll pop on light room and see if I didn't crop it ever so slightly.
I used the sony playstore app lens correction to help with the color shifts. Basically you build a profile and it can remove distortion, color shifts, vignette, and I can't think of what else. It's a 5 shot raw blend in Lightroom. I think I might buy that combo again I love it as a landscape set. Maybe I'll grab the 12mm too for indoor shooting. I actually found those on my hard drive when was I goofing off making a YouTube video earlier.
I'll see if I can find sooc jpegs for you with this combo to show you what the app did for me.
** I fgured out why it's not 6000X4000 i used the level feature in lightroom which moved it ever so slightly.

Thanks.
I couldn't understand why some people wrote off a lot of these lenses on the A7r because of colour cast, vignetting etc, whilst others were turning out perfect shots with those very same lenses.

I never used it on the A7r I'd love to see if the lens compensation app helps on the A7r. I used the a7 which the lens wasn't as bad. I'd like to pick up another one of these just for the UWA voigtlanders. Lol
