>>4154339>Zeiss 50mm f1.4The Sony 55mm f1.8 ZA is the third best performing 50mm lens ever made second only to 55mm f1.4 Zeiss Otus and NIKKOR Z 58mm f0.95 S Noct lenses.That's across all systems, not just on E mount.
That 55mm also scores in the top 10 on each and every lens test you can find online, including all the DXOMARK testings, out of all the lenses, from all manufacturers and all focal lengths. This is the only lens ever made, that is consistently scored in the TOP5/TOP10 on each and every test ever made and is still to this day, almost a decade after, in the TOP10 on every single lens test result list you can find online.
The Sony 55mm f1.8 ZA was also the second most sold lens on E mount for 5 years in a row.
It's also dirt cheap at only 800 bucks.
If you have an E mount body or are shopping for one and you don't own this lens or plan on buying it, then why even bother?!
It's kind of a similar story with Sony 85mm f1.4 GM, Sony 90mm f2.8 Macro and Zeiss Batis 25mm f2.
Sony literally has the best 20-30mm, 50mm, 85mm and 100-135mm lenses across the entire market. If you have a snoy and you shop for 20-30mm lens; You get either the 25mm Batis or 16-35mm GM. If you shop for a 35, you get either the 35mm f1.4 ZA or the 35mm f1.8. If you shop for a 50mm you get the 55mm f1.8 ZA or if you want wider aperture, you get either the 50mm f1.2 GM or the 50mm f1.4 ZA. If you shop for 85mm, you get the 85mm f1.4 GM or if that's not an option the Yongnuo 85mm f1.8 YN or 90mm f2.8 Macro. If you shop for 100-135mm lenses, you get the 135mm GM.
That's literally how easy it is to be on the E mount. You have access to some of the best performing lenses ever made, from 20mm to 135mm. If you can't get good images on E mount, with all these top10/top20 lenses, then you should look for another field to work in or a different hobby.
