Kinda debunks the Nikon and Canon talking points when they launched their mirrorless lines that the Sony mount wasn't wide enough for lenses with apertures larger than 1.4 ;) Of course we will have to wait to see what the IQ is a 1.2 in the corners.

That's a lot of vignetting, almost looks like a Zeiss lens ;)

Here's the Nikon 50mm f1.8 Z lens. A little less vignetting, but a lot slower too. It seems like manufacturers don't concern themselves much with vignetting.
