Distagon is good choice, Biogon is bad choice. While? Biogon has large beam angle.

Best regards
Erik

What Erik said. The M-mount Biogon (I own one) is a lovely lens on an M camera but pretty dreadful on a Sony A7(r). Smeared corners, magenta color cast near the frame edges...yuck! You can clean up some of this with tools like CornerFix, but IMO it's better to just use a more suitable lens.

Hi,

Here is some good info from lens rentals, a bit technical but interesting nevertheless.
