They are not intended for advanced stills users, but for the vlogger series that started with the a7c. Most won't notice LoCA in their efforts and breathing is something you do every 4-5 seconds. It was a little tricky of them to assign them as 'G' lenses.

But ultralight, they integrate really well with the a7c, standard filters hoods, aperture rings, cine style font lettering for ID. A little over-priced, to start with at least.

This seems about right. Definitely tricky of them to call these G lenses. The A7C seems to accommodate vloggers, but I don't think it was aimed at them. It is quite a good stills camera. Too bad Sony won't make properly sized lenses whose qualities match the excellence of the A7C's sensor. The Sony 1.8 lenses, the Sigma i lenses, and the Samyang tiny lenses are the best sized fit for image payoffs at the moment. Or some MF lenses.
