Can’t Decide? The Best Lens for Travel | Sony 40mm f2.5

Sony’s 40mm f2.5 on the A7C pushes the limit of how small a full-frame camera can be. The lens is only 173 grams - practically invisible - sticks out less than two inches from the camera. Aperture ring, custom controls, dust and moisture resistance. Stylish, retro exterior, and included lens hood, metallic, cold to the touch, and when paired with the Sony A7CR it’s the first time I felt like a hipster holding a Sony camera? The catch - it costs $600 US Dollars, a thousand Australian bucks, and it’s only f2.5?

Is the small compact factor that makes it so suitable for travel photography the only thing we’re paying for?
