Guys, I was just wondering (after reading all this thread, of course) what's your opinion on adapting this lens on Sony cameras when comparing its performance against the Brightin Star 2.8/28 on a Leica M camera? I am asking because many M-mount users seem happy with the BS lens performance for their used shooting scenarios (not landscapes or flat subjects) and I was wondering if the Color-Skopar 2.8/28 on a Sony camera would look same or worse than the BS on a Leica M or Sony UT-modified camera.
I do have the Thypoch Simera 1.4/28 lens but it is for sale because I consider it too big for a "just in case" carry situation (besides, I don't shoot much 28mm FL, if at all), but I am still eyeing this Color-Skopar (probably GAS induced) since is so small and lightweight. Even the Ultron is too big in my book, so I am not considering it at all, but this C-S is the same size as my 2.8/40 Heliar or 2.2/50 C-S, so happy to carry it with me everyday "just in case"....
Or, alternatively, do you think there is any 28mm small E-mount lens going to be launched any time soon? (No, I don't want that Viltrox 4.5/28 AF lens).
If you want a lens that performs well on Sony, then I would look at the F-mount version of this lens and use if with an F-mount to Sony E-mount adapter. It should not have sensor glass thickness issues and Sony and Nikon F-mount cameras have similar cover glass and it is an f/2.8 max aperture lens.
Yes, I have seen this recommandation from Bastian a couple of pages back, but that lens + adapter combo is far too big for what I want to carry.
