Let’s start with a roundup of new Sony FE GM image samples:
CameraLabs posted some 85mm FE GM image samples and so did DPreview.
Sony Artisan Brian Smith posted some image samples shot with all the new lenses.

And here comes the big question: Youtuber Matt Granger analyzed the Sony GM lens range and is debating if those lenses make the Sony system finally be a “Pro option”:

The Batis 85mm lens is finally in Stock at Adorama (Click here). UPDATE: Also the Batis 25mm is in Stock (Click here).
The question now is…will you buy the Zeiss or the new GM lens? The Batis costs 1/3 less and weights half as much as the new 85mm Gm lens. And as you see here it’s a lot smaller:

Thanks to Camerasize you can get a clear idea of the lens size on your Sony A7rII (or any other E-mount camera you own). The lenses are big yes…and probably better suited for a larger A9 body (that would be nice Sony!).
