Anyone here uses and likes Batis lens? Would you still recommend Batis lens in 2026?
I'm thinking of buying Batis 25mm for a7cii. Or should I look for different option around 24mm focal length.

There's better options these days
I'd pick one of samyang 24mm f1.8 or sigma 24mm f2 if you want smaller size

Or even Sony 24GM, which is available at really great prices and not much bigger than batis 25

Personally find batis lenses to be larger for the aperture they offer by current standards
 
Hi, perhaps I should have added that I write only about gear I own and use.

I have another 25mm lens, the ZEISS Biogon 2,8/25 Leica M mount, and two 24mm lenses, the Leica Elmarit 2,8/24 asph. and the Leica Elmar 3,8/24.

Based on my experience with these lenses, I would say the BATIS is a good lens.

But I do not own the lenses mentioned above ... ---
 
Don't get me wrong batis is certainly a great lens. Considering OP is wanting to buy one now, there are better options available. Technology advances :)
 
Yep, I've watched this video about 5-6 times in last year. I had one on a7c in the past for a short time, but I think it would be better on a7cii now. I hope.
I dont want GM - 350g is max I want to put on that body, strictly family travel photos. I have Zf for fun :)

I will be getting new Sigma 20-60mm wee zoom as my one-lens kit. Batis would be for indoors, usual daily stuff, like food and my keyboards.
I prefer 24-25mm FL. Normally 90% of my photos are 20-21mm.

Having owned the samyang myself that's the one I'd pick, fantastic small lens.

Samyang AF 24mm F1.8 Review - DustinAbbott.net

Photographer Dustin Abbott shares a thorough, real world review of the Samyang AF 24mm F1.8 (AF24) compact prime for Sony FE.

Sigma is heavier than 350g but also beautifully crafted of the three.

Batis is certainly a great lens, a probably a lot more contrasty than the other two. It's lighter than sigma but 50% heavier than samyang and also the thickest of the three.
Also for indoors you get a wee bit more light with samyang.
