The 28 Cron is the last lens I\'d recommend for a 5N. It\'s a character lens, not an ultimate performance lens. For its character to come through you need FF as most of the interesting stuff happens at the edges. On a cropper it\'s just mediocre and IMO a complete waste of money. You don\'t get an interesting look, you don\'t get high performance, bokeh is often dodgy etc There are a lot of better choices to spend $4,000 on...
If one is willing to spend a lot of money on a lens for NEX, wouldn\'t the Leica 24/1.4 Summilux ASPH be a natural choice? I\'ve never used it, but it seems like a good focal length for APS-C and it has a large max aperture. sebboh wrote:
it\'s also comparatively huge (and even more crazily expensive) unless i\'m confusing it with the also huge 21 lux? i\'m just looking for a one lens kit to take for size considerations that doesn\'t have any real weakness and is fast enough to shoot indoors at night (f/2 or faster).

re cron vs zeiss 2.8
One half the light.
There is no comparison at all. If you cannot see the huge dif between 2 & 2.8......You need another lens completely for indoor stuff
And 28 Cron is had for 2800, no need to spend 4 k--why does everybody scream 4k! 4k!?
You say it\'s a character lens and has no character on nex? A rash statement.
Frankly, u seemed to have utterly flipped out on the whole subject
I love the \"28 cron is last lens I\'d rec, get 24 summi, though i don\'t own or have never tried it\"
But it\'s always good to see all sides and I like ur crops and nice comparisons w excellent zeiss
thank god rational sebboh is around to defend my \"precious\" . I could have said the same but i suspect you\'d have scoffed.
