New lenses you need are great! Curious why the aperture ring is so appealing. I have the Sony 50/1.4 but never use the aperture ring.

I finally was able to put the 24 through it’s paces today at magic kingdom Disney world. I had a photo shoot scheduled and decided to arrive a few hours and take some landscapes and scout locations for the session later. This is my first GM lens. I’ve been shooting Sony Art lenses. 24,35,105,135. I have always been happy with their speed and sharpness. I like their colors, contrast. I have no problem with the weight and size of them personally. Other than getting them to fit in the bag when I need a range of FL lenses.
After today I definitely have decided to move away from the Art and jump on the GMs for the FL I need. Call me crazy but I love the aperture ring. A lot of what I shoot is not stand still. It’s moving throughout parks for photo shoots, different backgrounds, all natural light. The versatility of the 24GM over the sigma (I brought the 35) was game changing to me. I haven’t had a chance to pixel peep them all, I’ll work on that later today. But can tell quickly this 24 I’m super happy with. Guess I’ll be in the buy and sell later today too. 😂
If done right, it provides a large control with tactile response, the click. Many feel that the Loxia series was not done right. I also like a smooth linear manual focus. Both features were utilized for over half a century before the 1D appeared.
