Anyone have these? Is the 1.4 worth it? I want to sell my 18-55 and pick up a 16mm prime so that I can just have the 16mm, 27mm pancake, and the 35mm f/2 in my kit.
The 1.4 seems appealing for doing close focus shots with lots of bokeh and indoor, but the price and size are kinda rough. For carrying all my lenses on trips and for street, the 2.8 just seems like a better fit. I’ve never really been satisfied with f2.8 max aperture for bokeh on APS-C, but the 16mm 2.8 focuses pretty close as well, so maybe I’m overthinking it for a niche usecase.
