Now this may sound crazy but use a 55 1.8 for when you need light weight Than use the GM for the nice shot of the kids and around places your comfortable . Seriously the 55 is the kissing cousin to the Batis 85 very little difference .
that\'s where my current thinking is - i think my kit will be the batis 25/2 + zony 55/1.8 as a pair and then the zony 35/1.4 and 85GM as another pair - so depending on my mood and the situation, i can walk out with either pair or all 4 if it\'s going to be a long day and i can\'t predict what\'s going to happen. another reason that i\'m leaning towards the GM is exactly as you say - the \"look\" between the 55/1.8 and Batis 85 is very similar and don\'t need similar looks that close together in foc len. But if i have inter-leaved \"looks\" then having those 4 foc lens makes sense.
so, when i travel to Sicily with my dad in May and I\'m more focused on taking photos of places, the 25+55 may get more use, whereas in August when i travel to the Riviera and Dolomites, the f/1.4 pair will get more use as I\'ll be interested in getting the family/friends in various environments - although i\'ll bring all 4 on both trips, it\'s just an estimate on how i\'d use either pair.
*listed my Batis 85 on the B&S board if anyone is interested. frankly, if i wasn\'t such a nut, my kit should be 16-35/2.8 GM when it is announced, Zony 35/1.4 and Batis 85 - the Batis is a fantastic lens and the differences between it and the GM are first class problems to have - we\'re in a great spot as Sony users now, at least at 85. I\'m so on the fence that if i don\'t sell the Batis by the end of the wk, i\'ll return the GM (when my return period runs out) and I\'ll probably be relieved that i ended up with the more manageable lens.
