We heard from Roger Cicala of Lensrentals, who I mentioned in the Having It All post: I have not tested the Sony 35mm GM and it does seem superb; I look forward to doing so. In the meantime, however, I ve gone on record: the highest resolving 35mm lens is neither the Canon or Nikon flagship, nor is it the Leica. The humble Tamron 35mm ƒ/1.4 SP is the highest resolving, just a hair better than the Sigma 35mm ƒ/1.2 Art. That s what the Sony will have to compete against.
Woo-hoo. Fight! Bring it on.
My ego is still smarting just a bit from not acknowledging that the new Sony is in fact lighter than all its current competitors (including the Tamron, which costs a mere $899). Bad blogger. So maybe I m just being defensive, but I ll still stand by what I wrote, while acknowledging that I might be being cantankerous.
