@Gregg, The last pic of your son has every kinda glow from lens they talk about. One to print large and frame it.
I am in pursuit of best fast 50 (1.2-1.4). I have been thinking that I should just get summilux 50 asph. It\'s more expensive then probably all the good 50ish lens all together (zuiko 50 1.2, rokkor 58 1.2, cannon 55 1.2 asph and L). So the confusion. 35 summicron on a7 does feel great and just feels like lens sized for a7. Does anyone have some input. And, it may help GAS of I just buy the most expensive one believing its the best available (in my limit).
If you had not qualified that it should be f1.4 or faster, I\'d have recommended the APO Cron .
Fun aside for a moment, having pondered the Lux ASPH myself at one point (albeit very briefly), I asked around quite a bit back then. Mind you, I\'m using an a7r (your a7 may work better with the Lux than the a7r), but the conclusion was something like this: It works fine on the a7r as long as you can accept some purple tint in the corners and don\'t plan to use it as a landscape lens. I suppose you\'re looking to use the Lux wide-open, so the latter point is moot, but may be those who actually use the Lux on the a7 can elaborate on the color cast issue.
In addition to the Nokton Gregg\'s mentioned before, may I suggest the C Sonnar (assuming you can live with f1.5)? It is a pretty controversial piece of glass in the world of m-lenses (in no small part due to the focus shift issue), but in the right hands it is capable of producing wonderful results (assuming one likes that more classic character when shooting widen open).
