Lens looks nice on the 240, but the FE 35/2.8 would just smoke it for landscape work on un-moddifed A7 bodies, no?
I would not be able to justify the money/performance ratio for the new ultron on the A7 bodies. A mod or 240, maybe.
I would advise Cosina to study the Sonys closer because they would sell many more with a better tuned lens (meaning tuned for the Sonys). The competition at 35 for M is pretty strong, but the field is much more open on the FE.
I haven\'t used it enough for a conclusion but I might keep it. I like the bokeh better than that of any other 35mm lens (Rx-1 excluded) and it has really nice contrast and sharpness from f/1.7.
It is also sharp across maybe 90% of the frame. Not in a flat plane but a curved one. Check out that full resolution picture of the stone bench, there is a lot of sharpness close to the corner. This is a clear advantage over older lenses which are good in the center but quickly fall off.
Sure I would prefer it if it performed like on the M240 but at f/8 it is quite sharp for infinity landscape images and that is what counts for me.
Also prices in Europe are more affordable, I paid 649€ for the black version. I think in the US it is nearly $1000.
