I noticed that the used price of the Batis 40mm on the B&S forum is approximately $775 lately. The price of the Sony FE 35mm f1.8 on GT is approximately $650. If we disregard the price difference between the two and the fact that one is used while the other is brand new, which one would you buy and take as a light-weight 35-40mm lens for travel? BTW, I do have the Sigma 35mm f/1.2 DN that while it is a superb performer, the bulk and weight are prohibitive factors for travel.
I am cross posting this on the current Batis 40mm thread to get more input. Thank you!
"A light-weight 35-40mm lens for travel?"
For me that's an easy choice; the 35mm.
The FOV gives you more flexibility for composition; particularly if you will only have a single lens with you.
The lens itself is light, compact, and discrete. Fast AF. AF/MF switch; custom button.
Very useful MFD. Lovely rendering IMO.
IMO the 35 is the system's best "ramble" or travel lens.
I have even taken some nice macros with it by adapting a Canon 250D close-up lens.
And you get a warranty .....
