Charles, how do feel about the size of the FE 35/1.4 vs the Loxia line. Seems like the FE 35/1.4 is much larger . . . how does it handle?
Hi Bob,
The size of the FE 35/1.4 does not bother me as it is an amazing lens. Had Sony introduced again a compromise like the FE 35/2.8 (BTW very nice lens and small/light), I don't think people would have been happy. The engineering, build and feel is wonderful and compares as with the Loxia line if not better. The FE 35/1.4 handles extremely well on the A7II to the point where I do not notice it. I actually notice more my 50 Nocti f/1.0 on the A7s. For the superlatives of a look we may want, I think the FE 35/1.4 will fit in well.
Hi Hiep,
For now I have not a chance to look for mid zone dips, but the first photo at mid distance last night at f/1.4 surprised me how well it handled the brick wall and detail. Then OOF regions you barely notice just transitioning smoothly in the background. It was very dark, and contrast and color that FE 35/1.4 was drawing reminded very much of my ZE 100 MP.
