I liked the Noname [OEM ] 50/1.1 full-frame lens (for Sony FE/E). It's cheap, quite small. At closed aperture (f/8) it has good resolution for the 24MP FF sensor of the Sony a7c.

Although it is a fast lens, it can be used for landscape photography.


The lens has 11 (an odd number) aperture blades, so you get too much sunstar rays.

The shutter speed of 1/8000 (with the Sony a7c's full electronic shutter) is fast enough to use f/1.1 in sunlight.

At least if you shoot in raw, which allows you to recover highlights.

You can even shoot landscapes at f/1.1. With a loss of resolution and a narrow depth of field, of course.

But it's nowhere near as bad as you might expect.
