[stoppingdown]

As you can learn from my other thread, I'm still in trouble with the SEL1670Z (in short: broken, repaired, but apparently more decentered than before after repair). If the problem is confirmed I'll send it back to the repair shop, but I fear a long story with an uncertain end. I'm at the beginning of the season with my highest percentage of landscape shots and many are in that focal range. At the moment I'm not thinking of a zoom replacement because a) too expensive now, including the fact that I've already spent money on the repair b) I don't like any of the available alternatives, so I'd prefer to hold on until some new model is released.

A cheaper alternative could be a prime. I have a Samyang 35mm ƒ/2.8prime, fine for landscape; from 70mm onward the range is covered by the SEL70200G. I still have a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 with adapter — I kept it mostly for macros and focusing helicoid, but of course it's excellent for landscape. Manual focusing is not a big deal with landscape. This could be a temporary B-plan and period.

But I could evaluate buying an E-mount prime. What I've seen so far:

• Sigma 60mm-F/2.8 DN: old, but sharp in all the reviews I read. Out of production, but I see it on eBay around 150€. 190g.
  
• Sigma 56 mm-F/1.4 © AF DC DN might be interesting, but 400 € is out of my budget now. ƒ/1.4 might be also interesting for other stuff, but I don't know how it performs wide open — some ƒ/1.4. lenses start to be decent only stopped down and thus not so meaningful — ok, I've read the OL review and it's excellent. 280g.
  
• Samyang AF 75mm F1.8 FE is about 300€, still a bit too expensive and is slightly beyond the upper range. 230g.
  

I'm not aware of others. I'd be oriented towards the 60mm: no performance surprises, sharp, cheap and light. I think it would work well cropped for 70mm FOV equivalence. My only doubt is to find a reputable seller.

Ideas?
