I'll be very interested to hear what you think of the 40. I'm not thrilled with the five straight aperture blades, but if it lives up to the MTFs and is relatively distortion-free, then I may have to pick one up. It'd be nice to have a little lens that can be useful on both my a7rII and 50sII.
The 50/1.4 is a nice lens. Shot straight, it's a strong little fifty and then you get all the fun of a Lensbaby Composer like bellows for tilted shots. The 85 is less fun. It's a decent 85 shot straight, but the IC won't cover the FF when fully tilted and they recommend changing to APS-C mode. Despite the word being used in their advertising, neither lens supports any kind of shift. They also offer an inexpensive pair in their 35/2 and 50/2. I haven't used either, but I've heard they're strong values for the money.
