I am holding two somewhat opposing statements in my head at the same time:
1. All modern non-bodget lenses are excellent by historical standards, and that definintely includes the S-line.
2. S-line of primes is not competitive with Sony's GM-line of primes.
They're both true, and for people demanding absolute optical perfection, build quality and aperture ring for the Z-mount, Megadap is a must. Since I shoot both systems and have all GMs anyway, the only Z-primes that make sense for me are the two tiny SE lenses for the Zf. I sold all others and replaced them with Megadap.
The second point is your opinion, not fact, as is "for people demanding absolute optical perfection".
