Just grabbed the last of the Adorama deals on the 45 for a new to me A7S, reminded how much I like it's rendering. Now I want more, how are folks liking the 90mm?
I just bought a 90/2.8 here on B&S, excited to try it out when it arrives. I like the images I’m seeing in reviews, Flickr, etc. I’m really liking images from the 35/2 and 65/2 I have. Just wish AF was just a bit better, on par with best of the latest Sony lenses.

Mine should be here by late next week; I managed to track down a new one at what seems to be the only store in Canada that stocks the Sigma I series lenses. I might sell the 65 f2 - as nice as it is, it seems like an odd-ball focal length.

First shots with my 24mm f3.5 DG DN... my initial impression is that it's much better than the Sony 24mm f2.8 G.
Thanks for posting this, I am always wondering if I should have bought the Sigma instead. Just curious if you could elaborate which aspects are noticeably better? Just the lack of distortion, or other aspects?

The Sony 24mm f2,8 G I had was just not particularly sharp at any aperture. The Sigma is a bit weak at the outer edges, but most of the image is pretty good. Maybe I had a bad copy of the Sony, but I found all three of the compact G primes to be fairly unimpressive.
I bought the Sigma on a whim, because I found a demo version on sale at a steep discount, so it was about half the cost of the Sony version, and I was very pleasantly surprised after trying it out. I also got the Sigma 45mm f2.8 but haven't shot anything with it yet.
It's also my favorite from the trip.
