I am looking at purchase of 35mm lens that will be used on NEX7 (and maybe 5N). Criteria is:
1. Performance
2. Reasonable compactness (to give an idea: CV 35/1.2 is too big for my personal taste, ZM 35/2 is perfect size wise)
3. Reasonably fast-ish (2.8 might be acceptable, 2 preffered) for primarily DOF/subject isolation when needed, and secondarily speed when needed, while I love lens that have great punch (contrast & sharpness) when stopped down
4. Affordability (in ZM level at most)
5. No focusing by tab (tab is not for me)
So with that in mind I have following questions:
A. How ZM 35/2 and 35/2.8 compare when it comes to performance?
B. Which other lens you would recommend? It doesn't have to be M/LTM, it can be something else if it is better performing as long as size in hand together with adapter is compact (to give an idea: I find Zeiss 24/1.8 for Sony way too big for my taste, it is completely opposite of what I look for when I think of NEX).
P.S. I know I am asking this in Leica forum while intended target is Sony and final lens might not even be M/LTM, but I figure RF is good place to start looking for compact but great performing glass.
