The LHP-1 does fit in the FE 55, but I doubt it will be as effective as the hood that was designed for the lens. -Tim

LHP-1 But even the Vello version isn’t cheap. I got the Sony version on sale way back. Oops, thought we were talking about the FE 35, you’re talking about the FE 55.

Are you suggesting that no lens is useful if it’s wider than 28mm?

I would assume OSS adds some to the cost of the Sony as well.  And I believe there are a couple more "special" elements in the Sony, although I don't really know if that adds anything substantial ...

I think we all got the 1 stop vs. broader range argument down pat. Priorities will drive what camp you're in. Why not show the OP what you can do with these lenses, maybe that would be more helpful ...

I have both, I didn’t use the FE 35 2.8 on my vacation to Maine a few weeks ago.  Most of my shooting was done with the zoom.  The 24-105mm is a perfect travel lens for me.  I generally shoot ...

Just the Zeiss Loxia 21 to Zeiss Milvus 21 comparison, forgetting they are manual focus, is probably the best simple example.  There is no way to make a high quality 21mm f/2.8 lens for a DSLR ...

You can gain some size advantages for wider lenses.  Compare the Loxia 21 to the Milvus 21, or the Laowa 15 f/2 to the Milvus 15 f/2.8.  Or look at the size of the Voightlander 10, 12, and 15 lenses. ...

Try turning off stabilization on the lens, then turn it back on.  See if it behaves differently. If it's working, you should be able to tell just by zooming to 105 and moving the camera a little.  ...

I think the 24-105 gets a little bit of a bad rap on size and weight. https://camerasize.com/compact/#777.515,777.681,777.741,ha,t Sony GM 24-70 1.95 lbs Sony G 24-105 1.46 lbs Tamron 28-75 1.21lbs ...

Yes.  Although reading this thread makes me think it won’t be all that popular.  It will be discontued at which point everyone will want one.  Used copies will sell for 2000+. Wait, that’s the 125....

Wait until people figure out what the T stop is for the Tamron (hopefully some reviewer will measure.)  I've seen some discussion that it isn't the best in light transmission, which means the AF ...

I have 5+ copies.  The one's that are sharp to the corner at f/8 have a flatter field (less field curvature.)  The one's that take to f/11 (at infinity) to sharpen have more depth of field closer ...

If this is the original "K" mount f/3.5, try f/11.  That's about the sweet spot for that lens, although the half stop between f/11 and f/16 is good as well, as is f/16.  You'll just see ...

Laowa 15mm f/2....but if size, weight, and cost are really important, then it's hard to ignore the CV15. -Tim

Wait for the Samyang/Rokinon 24mm f/2.8..... -Tim

I really like the SMC Pentax 28mm f/3.5 K.....  Best $37 I've ever spent, although now the prices have crept up quite a bit. -Tim

I'm pretty impressed with the Laowa, although I've not had a lot of opportunities to use it.  Trying to displace a ZE 15. Sony a7R III + Laowa 15mm f/2 FE + Breakthrough 3 Stop Dark CPL -Tim

It’s arguably the sharpest prime in native mount.

Was OSS/IBIS off during this test?
