Went and gave in, finally bought my first prime.
Currently had a 16-50mm 3.5-5.6 kit, and a 55-210mm 4.5-6.3 both from Sony for my a6000.
Felt I wanted a "proper" lens for future use in concerts, up-close portraiture (lol, prolly not with that distortion, but whatev) and general low-light situations where I can get close to a subject.
Shit's so cash, its great being able to crank up to 1/4000th of a second still on ISO100 that normally the f/3.5 of the 16-50 would not have allowed. Autofocus is fairly snappy, and performs faster than my 55-210mm when at f/22 and checking the depth of field focus required.
Focus ring has that really nice smooth feel, and it's super weird not having a zoom function, but its a prime so, obviously....
Quite a large-ish lens too, but I was explained that its due to the extra component requirement in the formfactor restriction of the e-mount and f/1.4 aperture making it longer than my simple 16-50mm.
I could have gotten it online for cheaper, around 360-390euros, but I wanted it kinda soon ish, and talked the shop seller from 447 to 420€.
Meh, roast me, I'm happy with the new lens.
