Lens optic comparisons?


I'm doing some video work, and I'm wondering which one of my lenses (nikon) will lead in terms of optic quality. I have the 90mm f2.8 tamron USD (more expensive version with internal focusing), 50mm f1.4 AF-D, 35mm f1.8 AF-S G (dx only). I'm shooting with a crop sensor body.

I'm after sharpness, minimal chromatic aberrations and minimal flares. Will the 90mm with the low dispersion elements have the best quality? Or will the newer, cheaper 35mm f1.8 have better image quality? Same goes with the 50mm, which one has the best optics in terms of sharpness, distortion, aberrations and flaring? I'm looking for responses from people who have had experience with these lenses.

Mirrorless camera with picture quality about the same as a Nikon D3300?


I was looking at buying a good camera an I found the Nikon D3300, it has very positive reviews, good features like no AA-filter, 24 MP sensor, light and overall a good camera. Now, I was wondering how the Nikon would compare to a mirrorless with similar image quality and features, and price. Is it a good idea to buy the D3300 for beginner or buy a mirrorless with similar price? Thanks!
