The 55/1.8 is on the radar - in fact it has been offered for testing by a local friendly fellow.
However, I am sorry to say ... you've got to be kidding me - Pentax, Samsung & Nikon user have can complain about the lack of recent tests but not Sony users. The last Nikon test was back in August last year for instance. The last Pentax test was more than two years ago, same goes for Samsung.
As far as my "lack of enthusiasm" is concerned - let's have a look at the longer PRIVATE trips where I took Sony gear:
- Sony A100 for Asia (that was for 6 months)
- Sony A700 to Greece
- Sony A55 to Australia (still from Germany at the time)
- Sony A7r to New Zealand
That alone shows that I am not biased against Sony. Thinking about it - I used Sony gear more often for PRIVATE purposes during the last 10 years than any other system. And, of course, I had the choice.
I will continue to test Sony gear according to the very same standards like other systems. I will, however, reserve my right to avoid sugarcoating - just like with the other systems (e.g. I am frequently criticizing the Fuji lens QC as well).
