I quite fancy an A6000 and both new and used prices seem to reasonable but one thing they lack that the later ones have is an electronic shutter. Gotta be careful with banding under artificial light and rolling shutter may be an issue for some but being able to take a picture silently is nice, and not for pervy reasons.
Things I do like about the Sony's are being able to shoot with auto ISO and exposure confirmation in manual mode and having real time DoF preview. These are nice things

It works. As does the colour one.

I was actually impressed with yours. Mine only looks natural because I have no idea how to process it.
Plus it's at ISO 20,000 you know
Nik treatment...
I have to say that yours are better Andrew. I've had a "good" drink but even when I'm sober I wont do better.

OIS is good but I think the Sony IBIS is better.
It's a big negative for the Fuji system imo.

There's a 50mm f1.4 review at Admiring Light.
There have been plenty of review of this lens but I just though peeps might like to read this one...
http://admiringlight.com/blog/review-sony-zeiss-fe-50mm-f1-4-za-planar-t/
I can't see myself ever buying this lens. I have the Sony 55mm f1.8 and a load of legacy 50's from f1.2 to f2.8. The new 50mm macro will tempt me more.

Very very nice shots.
May I ask did you use a tripod and are you an architect? (It's the style and the way they remind me of photos from a book I have)

Ever consider the Samyang 50 1.4? Looks like great value. Has af too.

Just had a look at these strange the non af model £300 and filter 77mm £450 for the af model and 67mm filter seems small for the af version considering f1.4

So does this mean your thinking of switching from Sony then?

Checked out some reviews on youboob and it looks pretty decent. Less than half the price of the zeiss 50mm 1.4 and less than the 55mm

Would you go AF or manual focus, certainly reviews I have read across Samyang are usually good and both the prices are competitive with E mount

Apart from mushy files, cooked raws and a smaller sensor what attracts you to the Fuji system?
I can see how downgrading and recouping some money was good for Riz as he had an insane for a normal person amount of money invested in a top end camera and very top end lenses but I think that like me you have quite a basic kit. Do it and you'll miss the quality of the Sony files.

I haven't looked at this but I assume it's bigger than the Sony 55mm f1.8. I'll have a look out of interest but as I have the 55mm and might add the 50mm macro and also have a bag full of manual 50mm's I can't see me getting a Samyang. It would only make sense if the difference between f1.4 and f1.8 was significant for me and I don't think that it is.

That's Chromatic Aberration and is caused by the lens rather than body. There's a simple slider in Lightroom to correct the majority of it (Lens Correction near the bottom of the Develop settings). It's a result of high contrast in the scene on the edge of the branches.
