SG-image 35mm f/2.2 AF pancake lens for E/L/Z mounts
I took a few shots this morning... I tried it with A1 with old firmware and A7C kolari. The size was fine with me holding A7C eg compared to tighter Metabones adapter. AF was fine with both, but af struggled at mfd on A7C with backlighting (A7C was afs, A1 was dmf). It is not the fastest af like Sony lenses, but I didn't see any issues, no freezing, no problem on af after I switched to afc on A7C also. Animal eye af is excellent at afc with both A1 & A7C trying with our midsize dog.
Sharpness wide open is on the soft side, corners are not sharp. There is definitely field curvature. It reminded me the Mandler 35mm video review posted here... Compared to Samyang 100mm f2.2, SG 35mm is softer wide open... At f8, both camera corners looked fine based on af on the trees across the parking lot... Corners at f4 looked to me better on A7C kolari, again it might be 24MP vs 50MP and hand-held uncontrolled shots... I don't know how they have adjusted the sensor thickness btw L and E versions... I like the lens so far... It has a softer draw, more like older lenses...
Here is a review on S9, as he said all depends on your expectations:

I ordered directly from them with expedited shipping and got it in a few days with DHL. It came with the small metal hood...

Has anyone here ordered the lens directly from them and is still waiting for delivery?
