For me the lens is love-hate.
Optically, it\'s excellent. I think it\'s actually very much overlooked optically. But it is clinical at times-- super central resolution.
Size/weight wise, it\'s literally perfect.
AF is a mixed bag (A7rII). With V2 firmware it is much faster and more assured. In good light, at wide apertures, it\'s quick even. But as you stop down, the light goes down, and you subjects get less contrasty-- AF turns slow-to-miss.
It\'s so close. If only it had a the FE28mm AF module, I\'d happily pay double the price.
My thoughts exactly Russ. Especially in regards to the pricing/AF module.
The 28/2 FE is internal focus, so only one or two elements are moved to focus the lens, wheras the 50/1.8 FE is unit focusing. That is, the entire optical assembly is moved back and forth to focus the 50/1.8 FE.
