Hi Gang, I'd like some input for my soon to be lens purchase. I mainly do travel/street photography. I got the a7rII and Zeiss 24-70mm f4 in January and in a couple months going to return to Havana. This will be my first real trip with this camera. Prior, I shot a Panasonic GH-2 with a 12-35mm f2.8 and the great 20mm f 1.7. I likegto print large on a 44" Epson. I am considering getting either the 35mm f 1.4 Sigma ART lens or the Zeiss 35mm f1.4. There is no benefit shooting the 35mm for size like my previous 20mm pancake. i can shoot a lot at 35mm. In Lightroom, maybe half my previous shoot was with the 20mm (about 35mm in ff). My other option would be to sell my F4 24-70 and upgrade to the G-master 24-70 f2.8. And no prime. I know some don't like the F4 Zeiss, but my limited use shows it very sharp. Drawback is the g-master is $$ and big. not good for street photography. I'd be limited to f2.8 in the evenings. I've tried the Sony 35mm f1.4 and it feels nice other than the size. Any thoughts on my purchase options?
