I have an A7 plus the 20, 35, 55 and 85mm f1.8's and the 35mm f2.8. For a really compact camera and lens package the 35mm f2.8 takes some beating. I'd say that all are excellent in their own ways ...

I use manual lenses all the time and have no problem calling up the magnified view... so it should work... and I wonder if you're expecting the camera to automatically magnify the view when you ...

I don't use mine a lot and I actually prefer the smaller 35mm f1.4 classic but the 40mm f1.2 is better at wider apertures.

When people don't know what camera took what picture the stats show you're in a minority but that's ok, maybe you know best.
