It does look like the same quality as the 85 which is definitely a good thing. I'm thinking Sony may be taking a page out of Canons book and releasing at a high price then drop it down a few months later to make the most of early adopters.
Thanks I appreciate it! I'm trying to use 85mm more and become more accustomed to the focal length. Yeah I tend to stop chasing the larger aperture lenses these days, I'm happy with f/1.8 and having the lens be much smaller.
If Sony can make a GM smaller than all other 35's that would be real impressive considering they all seem to be roughly around the same size now.
Here in Australia we get screwed over so bad. I see a lot of comparisons saying that in the US there's only a $20 difference between the Sony and the 35mm Art.
Here the official pricing haven't even been announced yet but it should be around $1100-$1200 AUD mark and you can get the 35mm Art for $999 or $799 if you wait for ebay 20% off.
Most prices of the 35mm Art here are around $1100 so I could probably resell my lens for the amount I paid and suffer no loss.
It sure does, usually makes me sleepy too haha.
Congrats! If there was a deal that good I'd probably jump on it too!

My Batis 85 sold about 10 mins after I ordered the 35. I’m going to buy the FE 85 I think so that both lenses are small and have the focus hold button etc
Callum now looks at the camera for 0.5 seconds before looking away as opposed to 0.01 seconds. Feels like a long time now
