FE55/1.8 any day!Thanks. What do you reckon, 55mm f1.8..it’s tiny. Or Siggy 50 art
ART 50 especially for FE is unnecessarily huge.
And IMO FE55 renders better too

I love the 55mm as do the majority. Doesn't float everyones boat though.
The sigma art is a stunning bit of glass but size and weight make it a bit of an effort for personal use though.
Something around 50mm is going to be my next purchase.
For Trevor...
Sony 55mm f1.8 long term review. Note that he mentions a 35mm f1.8 but of course the Sony one wasn't out when he wrote this...

A thread about it...
https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1525916/0
I don't use mine much as at the moment I prefer 35mm and if I want to use a 50mm I have a few manual ones which I like to use so it tends to get overlooked.
DXO, if you don't dislike there ways of doing things...

Thanks. Generally 35 is my preferred focal length. Considering the 55 as I want to take family snaps at Christmas...actually I’d better consider the 35..
Battery door accessible
Arca Swiss plate built in
Tripod thread
just saw their "ranking table", rather surprising to see the FE55 still up top.

Criticisms seem to be that there's ca and harsh rendering. I don't think the ca is anything too bad and I don't think it's an issue in most if not all real world pictures although some 100% crops could be problematic Fred says that the ca is similar to that of the 35mm f1.4 which he says people don't complain about.
That's probably a compromise I'd be happy with for that focal length. With a 35 I want more depth of field generally (except indoors) and smooth OOF areas & a bit of CA aren't such a big deal.

I've started looking for an affordable pancake prime ... and not yet found one.
I moved to the A7ii from a Canon EOS M3 and on that I used the little EF-M 22mm/f2.0. For wandering around trying to catch candid shots it was pretty good.
My make-do solution at the moment is now the Sony SEL 16-50 (APS-C format, so effectively as 24-75mm). It's quite small, but I'd prefer a 28/35mm prime.
Any ideas?
Whoever at Sony thought this was a good idea was an idiot! Some many inherent issues. The fact it can’t be put down flat, it needs taking off to change battery and you can’t attach a tripod plate with it is fascial. I know you can charge by USB but that’s still not really an option for some who use more than one battery in a session.What about this little beast..... £99.00

Odd choice of lens haha
Im glad someone noticed that.Odd choice of lens haha
Reading this last page, I do sometimes think it's awkward having too much camera gear at times!
If you are doing it for a living, then obviously you need different bases covered. I do love having just a nice, simple set up.
Nothing wrong with keeping it simple, some of the more consistent better posted images in here have been shot with one camera, one lens. In the end nobody cares what gear you use only you.
I have used 1.4x on MC-11 and it worked. 2x may also.Possibly bit of a noob question here.... For those who use the MC-11 adapter for their Canon lenses, is it possible to also use the Canon X2 extender?
Like a Fuji X100 lol
Well yeah, plenty of people manage with just that. It's not that hard. Adjust!
It's still light and quite a small lens compare to a lot of them.I have a samyang 35 f2.8 for when I want the camera to be as small & unobtrusive as possible. Centre sharpness is good even at f2.8, but the OOF areas at the edges are a bit ugly until it's down to f4 or smaller. Focus is not the fastest, but it's substantially faster and more accurate than the Sony 50 f1.8. Should be available for =<£200 used.
At some stage I'll pick up a Sony 28 f2, for a fastish, wide lens, but that's a lot bulkier.
Just had a quick squiz at your photostream, wow. Had to stop my self from favouriting them all, impressive stuffpersonally I just couldn’t do it. Different scenes need different focal lengths. I couldn’t not have a telephoto for landscapes now for example.

Thank you for reply, it's strange that on their website it says teleconvertors will not work [emoji848][emoji848]I have used 1.4x on MC-11 and it worked. 2x may also.

How so? Are there examples?Not a scare really just bokeh isn’t as nice with EFCS on.
