Yeah auto magnification is cool but completely manual aperture is borderline stupid IMHO. I get these are completely mechanical lenses with no electronics (apart from distance and aperture readout) but what's the point? They'll all die anyway if Sony stops making E-Mount cameras. It's not like they are old Leica M lenses that you can use on and on as long as you keep CLAing the bodies.

 

Now we are stuck with manual apertures that you have to open up to focus and close down for photo taking. Because reasons.

 

Auto aperture should've been the way to go. It's a very basic motor or magnet anyway, nothing to break.
