Sony FE 40mm F2.5 G
With a head start on Nikon and Canon in terms of its full-frame mirrorless system, Sony is now at the stage where it can add more diverse lenses to its lineup. Recently, it has released a trio of small primes, the FE 24mm F2.8 G, FE 50mm F2.5 G and FE 40mm F2.5 G, the latter of which I’m reviewing here. All are the same size and virtually the same weight, making them a nice compact set for travel and street photographers. They should pair nicely with the Sony Alpha 7C, with its rangefinder-style body, and will also appeal to vloggers and videographers, for whom matching lenses can be useful when using a 3-axis stabiliser.
It is the FE 40mm F2.5 G lens that stands out as an atypical focal length, which is precisely why it is of most interest to me. It sits nicely between 35mm and 50mm,
