Yes, there are some amazing 50mm lenses out there, however,the a7rii’s AF is so good I rarely use MF lenses now. Nailing focus with a standard prime wide open was a nightmare on the Canon and Nikon, unless i dialed in micro adjustment for a certain distance…. Many more keepers with this set up and quite fast

The 55 on my 7mkII and S, is simply astonishing. Fast to focus, rendering, color, bokeh, really a great lens.

Ive got a few mf 50’s that I use, one is a hand-made Japanese 50 f/1.1, and a Nikon 50 f/1.2….These are both amazing lenses in their own right, but the 55 is really a great lens, and I think it has a lot to do with the concave front element, and the sonnar set-up.

Cheers.

Snapped outside, as I walked with the model to the location. Wb, curve and level adjustment.

I have been trying to come up with a comment ever since you posted this image. So difficult, from wanting to know your post processing, to whether you shot this outdoors, in a building or studio. They all seemed to fail.

What I see here is, in my opinion, one of, if not the strongest, image I have seen on your site.

This is truly iconic.

Strong and clear.

Be well

Laurence

I’m very close to getting the A7rmk2 and am leaning towards the Loxia for a 50mm.
