The problem you face is that a 35/1.4 effective non-retrofocus lens doesn\'t exist outside of Leica Mount.
People might recommend the Fuji x100 or Xpro1 but there is no 35mm equiv for the xpro1 and the x100 lens is 35/2.8 in terms of rendering and f/2.0 in terms of light capturing ability.
There should be a 23/1.4 for the Xpro1 next year but I don\'t know how big it will be. That will give you 35/2 equivalent rendering on the APS-C sensor of the Xpro1.
The Zeiss 24/1.8 for E-mount (NEX) is a very good lens, and quite light. It will give you a 36mm f/2.4 equivalent rendering.
FWIW, the difference between aps-c and 35mm is actually a little more than that. F1.8 on Nex gives you an equivalent rendering to f2.8 on 35mm. You\'d need f1.2 on aps-c to get f2 on 35mm.
