I really love this lens. It's so excellent for landscape and macro shots on hikes. My only thing close to a complaint is the sometimes non pleasant bokeh - which is very situation dependent.
The 65mm is the only lens we have for our A7rIII in the studio currently. Due to its diameter there is barely any room for my fingers between the grip and the lens. Is this par for the course with other Sony pro grade (larger) lenses? It isn't a problem here, the camera lives on a copy stand, I was just wondering.
Any tips for achieving perfect focus? I have been using C1 to zoom in and peak focus that way. How are you guys focusing with this lens. I don't think I am doing a bad job but could always use pointers.

Thanks!
Are you using full magnification? I never use peaking (I find it distracting), but always full magnification. It's an easy lens to focus precisely and would be good practice for those who aren't used to MF.
