I share your enthusiasm, an enthusiasm I wouldn't have if mirrorless cameras hadn't made vintage lenses so easy to use; that's probably the chief appeal to me of the Sony a7 line - not the resolution, not the dynamic range, but the fact that they're so far the only FF mirrorless option.
I probably have too many c. 50mm lenses already, but you certainly make this one look appealing - then again, I suspect you could make any lens look good.... I love the colors (among other things) in this photo.

Quite impressive.noncho said:Indoor sports usually needs the best performing gear. I'm currently shooting an ATP250 tennis tournament with gear less than 1/10 of the cost of the price of the usual gear around.
The usual gear that it's being used is 1D X II with 70-200 2.8 L II + 300 2.8L IS.
I'm using 1D mk IV with old 200 2.8L (with some fungus inside).
