Like others have said, the 16/1.4 is way too heavy and bulky for me to carry, especially since it's a focal length I don't use particularly often. I can manage with the wide end of the 15-45 kit lens.

I wish lens makers would stop trying to out-do each other with large, heavy f1.4 efforts and make more pancakes and small, light f2 or f2.8 primes.

And my desire is just the opposite. I’d love a fast 22mm f/1.4 to pair with my 16, 32, and 56mm f/1.4 lenses! These guys really kick butt!

There's the Viltrox 23mm f1.4, decent AF, respectable IQ and very nice handling.

Yeah, I’ve debated that one since it came out.  However I’ve been looking for outstanding AF for shooting action, and maximum sharpness so I can push the ISOs (without turning everything to mush).
