Here is a test of the 35mm cz biogen on 5n and 7; raws can be downloaded:

Here is an interesting comparison of camera sizes; the 24f1.8 is kind of large:

I must admit I didn't realize just how large the Sony 24/1.8 was, compared to the body. It seems strange that the bodies should be so compact and the lenses should be disproportionately large.
The Zeiss 35/2 looks good at f/4, but f/2 is pretty unimpressive. Still, $1k on a MF lens is less than appealing. That's a focal length where AF would actually be useful, especially at wide apertures.
It's a peculiar situation - great body, but very non-obvious choices for suitable lenses. Perhaps Sony spent all their R&D money on the body and had nothing left when it came to lenses?
Thanks,
DH
