At the short end sony has a massive advantage in size, weight, transmission and image quality, thanks to the short flange distance negating the need for retrofocal compromises. At the long end it's the same as every other brand.
>kit lenses are badHands up who uses a kit lens and cares about photography? You don't have to get a kit lens senpai.
>fast lenses vignetteLearn the tradeoffs of lens design, the strong vignette seen in some lenses allows exceptional sharpness across the frame, flat field and decent transmission. The trade off is either soft edges a la fuji or massive lens a la otus, when iso 1600 is still super clean, obviously pushing the corners 1 to 2 stops at the risk of slight noise is better than having to stop down 4 stops (and take the iso hit) just to get decent sharpness. I have the 55mm, I can shoot railings into sunlight and get zero ca, purple fringeing is not an issue.
>lenses are expensiveNot really senpai, yes the gm range isn't cheap, they are also completely in a league of their own for quality but are no more expensive than the latest canon releases. Remember the gm range has been sold out from day 1 and the 55mm costs more 2nd hand today than it did new at launch, due to demand.
>bad supportYou can say this about any company senpai.
>stareaterHas been acknowledged and there's a fix coming, just like they've fixed compressed raws, slow af and overheating in firmware upates.
>poor sealing and rustLol, no, a kid dropped his camera in the sea, this has been confirmed
>terrible ergoOnly for fat burger hands
>no front c buttonsYou get extra c buttons on some lenses though
>plastic mountWhat is thermal expansion
>they don't cater to poorfag crop babbysCrop is dead.
