I have tended to use prime lenses rather than zoom but the sony gm 24-70 will be my next lens as the optical quality is unrivalled .

But yes, they are also twice the price.

Competitiveness

Also it takes me to a different wounderful world of macro photography its my new hobby now that i have just started!

Also, given that this lens costs $1100, i feel that if you have a metabones adapter, this money is better spent elsewhere.

I have also failed to get any good-looking portraits with this lens, unlike when shooting with a cheap canon 50/1.

Whilst i do prefer sony's 55mm f/1.
