Well I got my hands on the copy I pre-ordered. Got a little delayed due to two snow storms but I now have it.
I've hoping Steve, Simon, and Zeitlos won't mind some other joining in. After about 5 or 6 full pages of back and forth I'd really like to hear from others and I hope to soon have some of my own photos and results to contribute. I am going to start with it on my A7Riii and then try it on my A9 and A7iii. As far as focusing my plan is to compare it to two other primes in this focal range, the Zony 50mm f/1.4 ZA and the 35mm f/2.8 to see how its focus accuracy compare. Maybe the 55/1.8 as well. Won't have any subjects with real eyes to use for Eye-AF test until Thanksgiving. Also with the holiday it will have to steal some time to review the images.
That all said its been on my camera for about 1/2 hour and it focuses really quick and quietly so that's impressive. Start with the simplest target like a book case with vertical fluting on it. It loves vertical lines for sure. Wish me luck.
Also notice that most of the post have been from Europe or Canada where I guess the lens has been available for some time. So maybe they used some special magic on the US copies or because they may have come from Japan via the Pacific instead of across Asia they work in a different way. Who knows.
