Okay line to see a 85 1.4 to round the Art series out. Someone had to say it. I'm actually trying to buy my Sigma 35 Art back.

Haha! Well I don't have a TV so I had to look that up ... thanks for the link! To be fair to SAR I think all the reports only listed SigCanikon. I'm not sure why.Mike:
I guess if Sonyalpharumors were aware of Emily Litella they could just say "Never mind!"

As a Nikon shooter, I have a killer 85/1.4 in the G lens. What is really needed is a good AF converter for Nikon G to Sony EF. AF-S lenses focus very fast and I see no reason they wouldn't/shouldn't on the Sony with an appropriate adapter...Okay line to see a 85 1.4 to round the Art series out. Someone had to say it.

You're like a broken record ... I can think of about 4 or 5 occasions in the past fortnight you've said that ... I'm trying to round out my primes and you're making me feel like I've taken the wrong path... Only native lens I have is the 16-35 which is very good.

I was tempted to order the Sony version now but I don't have any A lenses and the adapter is pricey for just 1 lens. I'm interested in it for astro .. I might get the Nikon and use adapters I have, but I'll wait for the reviews to come out I think.
I'm inclined to agree. I am currently post processing several images that include a chain railing. The iron links are enormous and are exposed to salt air, and thus have a thick coating of rust that have fascinating texture.This zoom is worthy of my repetition of praise. I just don't give it unless it's deserved. Personally I think it's the best 16-35 on the market. I never seen one handle the very wide this good.
My shots in the fun thread on the workshop with this lens are technically stunning.
I can agree with what you say here, although coming from another background. I got an A7r because I was nostalgic of my Contax G2 film camera and a lover of mirrorless and EVF (I love my Olympus E-M5 ! ).Up to now, Sony has produced the A7, A7-II, A7R, A7s mirror-less cameras ... four freaking FE mount cameras and a meager two slowish FE prime lenses in the same time period. That is electronics over photographic optics IMO.
At first, I thought Sony/Zeiss DSLR would be a match made in heaven. It reminded me of Contax (Kyocera and Zeiss), but hopefully with a different outcome : -). So far that combo ain't working in the same manner that it did with Contax. Sony quickly abandoned the optical viewfinder for a electronic one as further evidence they are NOT an optically centric company.
The faster FE mount lenses coming are freakishly BIG ... which in my own experience on such a small body, is unbalanced and more fatiguing to use than a more balanced DSLR.

What an awesome pair of peptides that is! :thumbs:Sony's DNA is as an electronics company.
