    Are the 85mm and 35mm and 24mm lens small enough that we can grip the a7c without rubbing the hands ???

    Taiwan filled preorders on the Sony 35mm f/1.4 GM at the beginning of Feb. I've had mine for 2 weeks and love it. If you go budget and buy the f/1.8 lens, never pick up the GM lens and use it. You'll hate yourself for not spending the extra bit of cash to buy it. Is it worth twice as much as the Sony 35mm f/1.8? Most definitely!

This has been really helpful in making the decision to save up for a lens that will spend a lot of time on my camera

My other main lens is the Sony 24-70. Can you help ??

    I’m a 28mm fan and loooooooooove the Sigma Art 28mm f/1.4 on my Nikon d850. It has heavy vignette and I believe that is what I like about it . With 28mm I shoot in the central part of the frame. Use leading lines a lot.
    I just got this 35 and the fe 24mm gm . Loving them both. Also looking at the 135 gm or the Sigma Art 135 . Probably stick with Gmasters even though I’ve liked the image from the Sigma 35 f/1.2 Art and the Sugma Art 135 f/1.8 . The size has a lot to do with it and close focusing on both focal lengths too .

    Nice can't wait until it comes out. I noticed your GM zoom at 6:36 has a bit of bubbling on the back end on the zoom ring. I had this happen to my 24-70 GM and had it serviced by Best Buy under warranty. They replaced the zoom ring at a local camera repair center. Would you happen to know if being a part of Sony Pro Support fixes problems like this? The zoom ring gets warped due to extreme differences and changes in weather.
