To me it doesn't make sense. I have an A7R3 and my backup is the A7R2. When I went on a Safari, I put two different FL zooms on it so that I didn't have to swap. And I had a good backup that worked ...

Yeah I think so. The 40 gives me more context. I find the 55 too long, especially inside a restaurant. But of course depends on what you are shooting and how far away from.

The other three lens setup might be the 21/40/85. I also have the 85. But I really like the rendering of the Batis 40. It is solid as a normal lens.

Yes I do have the Batis 40. It has allowed me to replace the 35/2.8 and the 55/1.8 in the bag (although I still own those). My preferred three lens combo these days is the Loxia 21, batis 40 and ...

I have both. The Batis 25 is more like a 24mm. So I think they will be very close to carry as a pair. The Loxia has better sun stars, the Batis has AF. I prefer the Batis 40 as the second lens. I ...

If you know you are going FF in the future, then it makes sense to get FF lenses. For primes, you can get the Batis 25/2 (or 24 GM) and 35/2.8. Both are small and compact and will give you wide ...

Go for it, you won't regret it. The Batis 40 is just excellent. For "normal" focal lengths, both the 55/1.8 and 35/2.8 are excellent too. The 55/1.8 is the lens that first sucked me into the Sony ...

I replaced my 35/2.8 and 55/1.8 with the Batis 40 and I am quite happy.

The Batis 40 is just excellent. Whether it will work for you or not depends on what focal length suits you. For "normal" focal lengths, both the 55/1.8 and 35/2.8 are excellent too. The 55/1.8 is ...

I have both. And the 35/2.8 and many others. I love the 35 and the 55. However, for me, the 35 was a wee bit too wide and the 55 a bit too tight. The 40 falls right in between a 35 and 50 in terms ...

I have the Batis 40 and and as a normal lens, I love it. Before the Batis I used to carry around the Zony 35 and Zony 55. I like both of them a lot. The 55 is stellar optically, however, it got ...

The Batis 40 for all the above use cases. For travel, you might want to add the 24 for landscapes.

Yeah, those bulky lenses are no good if you are not going to want to lug them around. For me portability is more important. Yes it is only 2.8, but it will have the same level of blur as a 85/1.8, ...

I haven't tested this combo yet. When I rented the 135 I didn't have the 40 but had the 55. I think I am going to rent the 135 one more time and test out the 21/40/135. I personally feel the 135 ...

I have have the 21, 25, 35, 40, 55 and 85 (in primes). I really like the 40. I find the 35 a wee bit too wide and the 55 a bit too narrow. 40 is perfect. I don't have any issues with the rendering ...

Thank you!

I shoot RAW and then use LR to adjust. So there is really no such thing as the "original"...

:-) Got it.

Yes, thank you!

Two primes any day.
