If you're willing to give up auto focus, you can use fast, small (but FF) rangefinder primes on Sony Nex APS-C cameras:

I think I am not willing to give up auto focus. I was really excited when Sony announced there will be a fast Zeiss wide angle for the NEX. And now it will most likely be 24/1.7. Quite dissapointing.
In fact, I owned an M8 with a 35/1.4 for a few days, but soon found out that it is not right for me and returned it. I want something that can focus automatically.

Btw, Canon's current 35 1.4L is noticeably better than Nikon's 35 1.4G in the corners from a recent test I did (will publish it soon).

I am looking forward to it.

Then you have to try the 85 1.2L II... far better than the 50 1.2L <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Wouldn't it be sad if there was no lens left that one can lust after, but not have it? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
