 Re: Sony A7; is there an RX1 equivalent 35mm lens? | |
nope. there is nothing that can match the rx1 lens at 35mm in your categories, particularly knowing how picky you are about the fine lenses you have owned. the lens that i think would probably be closest (and i believe you owned?) is the pentax 31/1.8 limited, but i don\'t have any personal experience with it. here\'s my list of the other candidates and why you won\'t like them generally from best to worst (most of these i\'ve shot with myself, some i\'ve just played with the files):
1) samyang 35/1.4 – it\'s giant with pretty mediocre build and bokeh isn\'t as good as the rx1
2) leica m summilux 35/1.4 FLE – crappy bokeh
3) sigma 35/1.4 – to big and the bokeh is a bit too jittery
4) ZE 35/1.4 – way too big and not sharp enough for you at the corners at large aperture (probably to much SA for your taste too)
5) ZE 35/2 – not quite as good as the rx1 in every way except in your face contrast/pop
6) c/y 35/1.4 – weak corners at large aperture, funky bokeh near corners (better bokeh than the rx1 in the center though)
7) nikkor 35/1.4 G – like the sigma but not as sharp (bit better bokeh though)
8) canon 35/2 IS – big slightly weaker than the rx1 across the board
9) canon 35/1.4 L – like the nikon but not as sharp
10) nikkor 35/2 AF-D – weak corners, crappy build
11) contax g 35/2 planar – terrible wide open bokeh, weak corners
12) leica m 35/2 summicron IV – terrible wide open bokeh, weak corners (performance of earlier summicrons remains to be seen, but you wouldn\'t like their classic look anyway i think)
13) leica m 35/1.4 summilux pre-asph – too glowy at f/2 weak corners at large aperture
14) zm 35/2 biogon – worst wide open bokeh ever, corner smearing at large apertures on the a7
15) rokkor MC HH 35/1.8 – weak corners, SA, i don\'t think you really like rokkor style bokeh?
16) nikkor 35/1.4 AIS – weak corners and terrible bokeh at large aperture
17) leica m summicron 35/2 asph – corners smearing, midzone dip
18) canon 35/2 ltm – weak corners, SA, funky bokeh
19) nikkor s 35/1.8 – weak corners, contrast, funky bokeh wide open
20) canon 35/1.5 – waaay to much character for you and all the previously mentioned aberrations
unknown – konica m 35/2, OM 35/2, various versions of pentax 35/2?
edit: oops totally forgot the voigtlanders!
6.5) cv 35/1.2 – not sharp enough in the corners at large apertures, funky bokeh
8.5) FE 35/2.8 – too slow! weakish bokeh
13.5) cv 35/1.4 – funky bokeh, weak corners, too much SA
18.25) leica m 35/2.5 summarit – corner smearing, too slow
18.5) zm 35/2.8 – too slow! corner smearing
18.75) cv 35/2.5 – weak corner/smearing? (maybe it\'s actually good on this sensor?  ), to slow
