RNvideo Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I've been using my a7s with a metabones adapter and my rokinon cinema primes since I bought the camera, and they work great, but I've been looking into buying a native lens for the camera for when I'm traveling and want to use fast and reliable auto focus when taking stills. The 24-70 FE would be ideal because of the zoom/fixed aperture, but the only lens I've ever really heard good things about is the 55mm. Anyone use any of these lenses and have one to recommend?

Zach Ashcraft Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Just keep in mind, the downside about the FE lenses is that the focus is controlled my an electronic focusing mechanism, which basically detects how fast your are pulling focus and adjusts the speed at which it focuses accordingly. This is a pain as its pretty hard to do repeatable and controlled focus pulls. That being said, I do own the 70-200 F4 FE lens and love it. Stills are absolutely amazing out of it, and the image stabilization is really useful. Sharp as can be and nice colors + contrast. I'm a fan. I haven't used any other FE lenses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
