Hello All, just after some opinion/advice for my a7r, I'm looking for a 40-50mm lens with a fast aperture around 1.4 it can be an old or new lens since I will only be using it in manual focus with the appropriate adapter so any mount will be ok just want something that's not to expensive but reasonably sharp especially wide open, any suggestions? Even a vintage lens, but there's so many I'm not sure which one to get :-\ thanks...
 
The Samyang 35/1.4 would almost fit in the FL bracket and is as good as its counterparts that cost multiple times as much. (The same can be said about the 85/1.4, but that one is a bit far off in terms of perspective.)

Canon FD 50mm is pretty solid, but the SSC and FDn versions, I use it for my video work.

Dont have experience with the Nikon options, but I imagine the AI versions of their f/1.4 and f/1.2 are very good as well
