So I have the Q7 coming with the 07 shield lens, 01 standard prime(8.5/1.9) and the 02 standard zoom(5-15/2.8-4.5).
From what I can tell, I probably will use the shield lens sparingly, The 01 prime is probably going to be the most used. The 5-15 appears to perform well from 5-12mm, but shows some sharpness issues past 12mm (based on the reviews I've been reading/watching).
I've also researched the other lenses in the system. As a complete kit, it seems to me that the "best of the best" in Q lenses very well may be the 08 wide zoom (3.8-5.9mm/3.7-4), the 01 prime (8.5mm/1.9) and the 06 zoom (15-45mm/2.8).
To the other Q users out there, does that seem a fair assessment?
Starting at the 3.8 side, the Q7 should give you slightly wider than 18mm FOV and the 45mm side of the lens kit would give you 211mm FOV. That's not horrible, if I'm being honest.
I could see me getting the 2 zooms to go along with the 01 prime and being relatively happy with that - given that I get along with the Q7 like I hope I will.
Just thinking out loud and looking to bounce ideas off of you all.
