Voigtlander Nokton 35/1.4
Rokinon 8/2.8 fisheye
Contax G 90/2.8
Canon FDn 50/1.4
And my Zeiss 24.
I have the SEL 50/1.8 and 55-210 and have no desire to buy any other Sony Emount lens available. I want a FF camera but the A99′s price and low light performance compared to peers turned me off. I tried the RX1 and the AF disappointed me. So biggest Sony fan seems erroneous.

I hated the manual focus ring on the Sigma 30. It was not smooth at all even when using DMF; it was jerky and would stick. That was enough for me to send it back. I also didn’t like the CA and f/2.8 wasn’t fast enough for shooting in the low light of my house.

I should get my 30mm in the mail today or tomorrow. Like all new Sigma lenses, it has great center resolution, which is perfect for people pictures. I’m glad Sigma focuses on getting super sharp centers right from wide open. sharp corners are for pixel peepers and generally not needed

I wonder why they chose to skip them from their shipping services?
