I\'m looking at changing up my 50mm lens range (currently have FE 55) which is a focal length I don\'t use all that often, but like having in my bag, and I\'m hoping to kill two birds with one stone since I currently lack a macro lens (which I also don\'t use a lot, but like to have). I\'m considering selling my 55 and getting the Milvus 50/2, or, leaving the macro out of the equation for now and getting the Loxia 50/2. Any feelings on the IQ differences between the two? I like having lenses with more than one strong point, so the 50mm focal length with macro is very appealing, but the compactness and integration of the Loxia\'s with the A7 cameras is also a very nice feature.
I\'m discovering that I much prefer manual focus lenses for what I shoot and the manual focus feel of the focus-by-wire is not something I enjoy. Give me hard stops on close up and infinity and I\'m a happy camper (I ultimately intend to have only the FE 28/2 and Batis 85/1.8 as my autofocus lenses when I\'m done realigning my kit).
