Most photographers want a fast, standard prime lens in their collection, but what do you do when there are no fewer than seven to choose between?
This is the very situation in which Sony full-frame E-mount users find themselves. What started as a lens ecosystem with just one option – the much-lauded FE 55mm f/1.8 – has exploded to include one nifty-fifty prime, one expensive f/1.4 and one macro-lens from Sony itself, one 50mm f/2 manual focus prime from Zeiss, one 50mm f/0.95 prime from Mitakon Zhongi, and one 50mm f/1.4 prime from Samyang-Rokinon. The final lens on the list is special because it, along with the 14mm f/2.8, is the first autofocus lens from the brand.
