ownership:	I own this lens
compared to:	Samyang 35mm f/2.8 and Sony FE 50mm f/1.8
price paid:	$478 USD used
positive:	Quick focusing Low weight Small size Unobtrusive Solid build
negative:	Buttons and switches are crammed in.
comment:	I enjoy the versatility of this lens. It is perfect for replacing my 35m and 50mm with a single lens. The images from my A7RIII look good to my eyes. This creates a great trio of the FE 20mm f/1.8 G, FE 40mm f/2.5 G and Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 as a flexible walkabout prime kit. While the buttons and switches are crammed in it is still impressive they exist on a lens this size.
