<p>Thanks Michael for your contribution and for your experiences with the different lenses. At the moment I'm shortlisting several lenses. The body is still not in sales in my country, so I've got time to make a good decision. Size is a major factor for me (it's one of the main factor why i switch to Sony also). Vivitar seems interesting, Canon and Nikon could be also an option. As far as Samyang is concerned i don't trust those lenses that much, so i will skip it. But thanks for your input a lot!</p>

<p>Mark, you can ask him in the thread, he replies to all of the comments (almost). And there are a lot of information in that review. </p>

<p>Thanks for the link. Very beautiful photos and wonderful places. Thanks again for your help. </p>

<p>Thanks for the information Martin about the Contax lenses. Actually i don't use them much fully open, so it shouldn't be a problem. Is there any images of yours perhaps online with the 35mm and 50mm on the A7? I'd be greatly interested:) </p> <p>I'm actually surprised on your opinion that they outperform the Sony lenses. At the moment the Voigtlander and the 35 Contax are on my shortlist.</p> <p>Mark, Steve Huff has covered in his A7II review with some Leica M lenses with superb results<br> http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2014/12/27/the-sony-a7ii-real-world-camera-review-my-camera-of-the-year-2014/</p>

<p>Thanks for the recommendations Edward. Actually the native Sony/Zeiss 35 would be fine, but at the moment it's out of my budget and not speaking of the Leica lenses of course. I know it's more preferable to have a better lens for this body, but it will be later on:) <br> And manual focusing is not a problem, it's the main reason i'm changing (after the size). On the 5d2 it was really difficult to manual focusing with my Planar. <br> Thanks for your tip with the Voigtlander Ian, actually it seems to be the perfect fit for me at the moment. I checked your image and it seems really wonderful!</p>

<p>Thanks for the help guys. The Canon seems to be fine, I've read the review and the others on that link Louis, thanks.<br> I'll check your recommended lenses also David. Anyway, the Contax lenses are not too heavy, at least the 50mm is fairly light. (Currently I own the Sigma 50 Art, which is a deal breaker, so heavy). </p>

<p>Hey Guys,</p> <p>after long years of DSLR using i've decided to change for the Sony A7II. I've got a Carl Zeiss Planar 50 1.4 CY (which i like very much) and looking for a good 35mm manual focus lens. Leica M lenses would be nice of course, but budget is an issue. I've got 500 USD budget for this. f2.0 would be nice, but i'm more into the character of the lens. The Carl Zeiss CY version is with 2.8 aperture and would like to have the f2.0. What about Contax G lenses? Or old Olympus SLR lenses. There are a lot of out there and don't have experience with old analog lenses. <br> What would you recommend? <br> Thanks in advance.</p>
