My personal favorite of the bunch is the new Sony FE 50mm F1.4 GM which offers a great optical quality with a reasonable size but comes with a relatively big price tag , and the second position goes to the Sony FE 55mm F1.8 ZA Carl Zeiss Sonnar T due its compact size, above average optical quality and more reasonable price . If the size and weight is the most important factor for you, the tiny Sony FE 50mm F2.5 G is your best bet.
