Eye-AF is game changing... Both for still portraits and video. It absolutely nails it 99% of the times and having a photo properly in focus on the eye does make all the difference. The same goes for video and its touch-tracking function.
But I can definitely see the appeal of the whole Fuji system and would definitely be my choice if I ever changed systems.
I must confess I was always a bit disappointed with the Zeiss 35/2.8. While I loved its size and weight (it's perfect in that regard) it never really impressed me in the sharpness department. Not only that, but it also suffered from pulsing when focusing at longer distances and close-up AF was slow and a bit of a hit-and-miss. Maybe it was just my copy, as the Zeiss 55/1.8 is excelent.
But yes, except for the size and weight, the 35/1.8 is on a whole other level. The upgrade was a no-brainer once I decided to buy the A7 IV.
The whole "Tiny Series" is very tempting. But for now, I've decided to stick to Sony lenses, as the newer models are very nice and I've been getting good deals on them, with prices not to far from Samyang's.
I almost ended up getting the Samyang 35/1.8 (from the Tiny Series), but the MFD of the Sony and the better compatibility won at the end. Got it for a decent price as well.
But it's funny that you mention the 18/2.8 because I've actually been specifically eyeing that as the lens to buy next (because there's always a next...).
