The sharpness at 1.2 never ceases to amaze me. (focus on the letters on top of the control ring)

Admittedly, I'm quite ignorant when it comes to Sony glass. I figured I'd grab something similar so I can do a proper comparison between the two systems.

If you're familiar with Sony... any recommendation on an EF-E mount adapter? I know there's Metabones from before but not sure if anything has developed/changed/impr​oved since then.

I shot Sony before and I used the Sigma MC-11 which worked well for me. These adapters are very lens dependent and how they perform really depends on the actual lens. I found my EF 35mm f/2 IS worked perfectly with MC-11 and the AF wasn’t that great on the 100L and 16-35mm, but neither was really AF dependent.

It’s been a year since I swapped back but tbh I preferred using native lenses. Hell if I could afford it I would run dual systems but sadly money doesn’t match the G.A.S :p

Well, that's unfortunately (about finicky adapters). Guess I'll be stuck with the 50 for awhile. Maybe pick up some native UW prime or zoom in the future if I decide to keep the a1 long term. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, GAS sucks.

You’re welcome and Sony has plenty of great options, especially with 3rd party gear!

GAS feels good in the moment but the guilt after the purchase is the big that gets you lol

Haha, that would suck. No guilt here. There are much worse hobbies/habits to have than photography. I still remember my first digital camera fondly, the good ol' Kodak DC 220. 0.99mp. :lol:
