Manny sent me the link to his video with this text:
In my video, I shoot with a full frame and crop sensor camera to compare the final images and the results are pretty surprising (Not really) The message of the video is that there isn’t much difference between the photos coming from both types of cameras and other factors play a bigger role!
Image on top shows the current 20mm f/2.8 A-mount lens
The following info is from a source whom shared a few correct info in the past.
He told me that Sony will launch a new 20mm f/2.8 Full Frame E-mount later this year. This will be part of the affordable FE lens series from Sony like the 50mm f/1.8 FE and 28mm f/2.0 FE. It will become a relatively compact lens like the 20mm A-mount version.
Quick FEreminder: 135mm and 400mm FE lenses are on Sony’s announcement roadmap too.

I think it’s the first time I see a review of the Samyang 24mm FE Tilt Shift lens for Sony. Marc Alhadeff conclusion is:
If you look at the other tilt shift lenses you could use on a Sony you have the Nikon or Canon ones at 2000 euros. Is the Samyang costing a little bit less 1000 euros worth it ?
- It is well built , only the knobs are a little bit small and in plastic (long term durability ?)
- In architecture , the shift mode allow to get very good results at F11 from centre to borders
- Distorsion is an issue but can be corrected manually or by taking as a proxy the Samyang 21mm F1.4
- For the tilt effect you can get the Scheimpflug type of effects , but tuning a tilt is a delicate operation that is requiring a tripod to be at ease
I would recommend the lens for the hobbyist willing to do a lot of architecture,
If you are pro , it is certainly worth to invest in the Canon 24mm Tilt Shift with the Sigma MC11 adaptor to mount it on your A7 body. This one has much less distorsion and better sharpness at apertures wider than F11, and will be able to transmit exif data to the body (Lens name + aperture)

Just recently Mr. Goto Teng from Nikon said that mirrorless ain’t really for Professionals yet. So let’s see some of these Sony amateurs at work:
Chelsea Northrup had the pleasure to meet National Geographic Ira Block. In this video he gives some advice on how to take pictures. And as a side note…he uses Sony gear.
