I'm getting an A7S and soon after an FS7 I have Nikon glass already so I'm going to get a Nikon to E mount metabones but as time goes by I want e mount glass to go with these cams. I'm looking for a good starting lens that will work well with both A7S and FS7 something light so keeping weight down whilst using on say a Ronin. Any suggestions for me lens to look at maybe a Zeiss Touit 32mm 1.8 or Zeiss 35mm Loxia f2 ?
The 16mm pancake is very cheap what the quality like (for A7S)
Haven't got any Sony lens knowledge so any suggestions would be great.

Thanks
 
If you get Sony e-mount lenses, just be aware that if it's not full frame (FE) then you can only shoot in APS-C crop mode. Which isn't necessary a bad thing. But if you also want to use it for stills that means that you'll only get 5mp images, which might be a bit on the low side...
 
I have the 16mm pancake for my A7S. I just use it for holidays or days out where I don't want to lug around my L Lenses. The optics are actually surprisingly solid. Obviously, it's an APS-C only lens, so it won't work in FF on the A7S, only in APS-C mode, but that's fine as it's still nice and wide.
