Yeah... kena poisoned by lotza ppl here... LOL... I would haf went for the CV 35-1.2 ASPH 2... But really put off by d weight, no offence to CSers owning one... Just personal preference. I am just buying this to play around it till I save up enuff for the Lux 35-1.4 ASPH FLE... Should be by next year before CNY... At least I get to play wif d Cron for the next few months... Leica all d way!!! D new M body is so tempting...

Yeah... just read that... Lux killer ya d V2? Seriously if CV can make it much smaller, will be totally sold... I sort of used to the weight and size of the CV 35-1.7 ASPH and really not looking forward to a bigger lens for street shooting...

So u sold off yr FLE and keep d CV 35-1.2 V2? Wow... At least U still haf d Lux 50 ASPH... Saw some post selling average 5k... If CV comes out a CV 50-1.2 ASPH that almost can equal to yr Lux 50 ASPH but even much bigger, U will also sell off yr LUX 50 ASPH if it's 5 times cheaper?
Frankly, if Voigtlander or Zeiss can come out with a lens that is as good as 50lux and yet cheaper by 5times, why not?
The problem is that it is very difficult to make it as good..... Tried Voigtlander 50mm F1.1 and Zeiss 50mm F1.5, no way nearly as good as 50lux.

Just did some test shot with it @ China Town at nitez as I just got it today in the afternoon. Will post some the day shots later on... Dun think it's poisonous enuff for u, bro but it's a solid little toy. LOL...
Gd nitez... Haf a great Sunday ahead, guys...
The market is soft now...
Often with focus shift on RF, though on Nex, that's perfectly fine, but that's not the point... there's other alternative options, like for e.g. the canon 50mm f1.2 ltm

Pray next NEX fix all the issues
For the sample photos from the 10-18mm linked from SAR, the reviewer mentioned that he'd only had use of the lens for a few minutes, and that he wasn't sure whether it was a pre-production copy or not. In addition to mild color casting, the corner crops showed an absurd amount of CA.
Various pundits correctly assert that this type of CA is fixable in LR. But what they fail to mention is that when CA exceeds a certain pixel width, some contrasting edges are left with a black stripe, which can totally ruin some images.
After reading what the reviewer wrote, I'll suspend judgment on this lens until it's in a store where I can try it out myself. Given the announced price point (and size) of this lens, I expect some compromises. But ya gotta give Sony credit for turning out usable lenses at affordable prices.
Someone mentioned the CV 15mm on NEX . . . rather than bitch and moan about the magenta cast on the 7, I got a 5n w/EVF for my wides. If I point the 5n and CV 15mm at a brightly-lit sky (which I wouldn't do in normal shooting), I can see a bit of magenta. But in normal shooting, I don't see any magenta casting on any of my wides. Corners are sharper than on the 7, too.

Im considering the use of a la ea2 and tokina 11-16 or sigma 10-20 or sony sal uwa. Wonder whether the short flange distance is part of the cause and the use of the adaptor will help correct this? Things is sony sel 10-18 is about 300g. la ea2 + uwa lens is about 650 to 750g, more than twice the weight.
