I have found both very good, with the caveat of a strong, rather “sharp” vignette, which is hard to remove in Lightroom. Guide to the best Portrait Lenses – Sony a7 series - October 22, 2019; Post navigation. Strong vignetting, very little distortion, good flare resistance, beautiful 10-stroke sunstars. Only the soft extreme corners are a bit annoying. Why haven’t you include the Nikon 20/1.8G in this list? I was interested to see your comment on the decentering of your Ultron, Philip – I really enjoyed many aspects of the copy that I had, until I more rigorously tested for decentering, and then it became obvious in almost everything I shot. Optically it is one of the best classic 24mm lenses. The only way to deal with this is to buy from a source where it is easy to return the lens. Seems to be a great lens by anyting I have seen and read so far. for now you just ignore Samyang but it is coming from you not because something that Samyang do or did. At f/2.8 most of the image is sharp,  vignetting is not really an issue,  bokeh is decent and  coma is not much of an problem so this aperture is fully usable. I mainly use 35mm for landscape and architecture and I value nice sunstars, contrast, clarity and small size as well as filter diameter and size more than bokeh, coma and edge sharpness wide open. At f/4 the center is excellent across the zoom range, for best corners I would stop down at least to f/5.6, better f/8 where they are quite good. Very contrasty already wide open.

Good close up performance with amazing bokeh. Your account will be downgraded to a Free Account at the end of your Premium Membership trial. Sigma 14-24mm F/2.8 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E … Optically this is the weakest lens of Sony’s lineup, it is stille quite handy because of the wide focal range and good at some things. Hi When bought used good price/performance ratio but faces strong competition from Sony’s FE 2.0/28. Some of them perform well on Dxo website, and easier and cheaper to by them used than Sony e mount lenses. and the MD35/2.8 is probably going to best the 1.8 from f/2.8 onwards. But that is pure speculation. Owned and sold by Jannik. Thanks! Cosina also had some serious issues with the 4.5/15 III where most lenses did not perform as the better copies. Status: Owned and sold by Jannik, who needed a smaller 35mm option but liked this lens. Status: Phillip bought his own copy, reviewed it and then returned it because of the underwhelming performance and high price. The price is significant but justified. Zeiss 15mm F2.8 ZF.2 excellent, but to big for landscape use. Therefore, some creative, though reversible modifications will be required, along with accepting some practical limitations in use. Sometimes you need to move quickly, and that’s where a good, normal-range zoom comes in handy. Sony makes such impressive cameras that I occasionally toy with the idea of jumping ship. A wide field you’ve opened here ;o)

At f/2.0 the center as well as midframe region is very sharp, corners suffer from field curvature. Would be nice to see your impressions of the 28mm Otus + adapter compared to this list. Travel Photos; Landscapes; Cityscapes; Long Exposures; Pros and Cons. At F5.6 the corners are already very good. It doesn’t cost you anything and helps us a lot. Some barrel distortion. I bought it after having used a Schneider 35mm PA Curtagon for a while and I must say the Zuiko shift is such a phenomenal lens and fun item to use. The Loxia 2.8/21 is one of the most important lenses in my bag and it’s not only without major flaws – it has (currently) unique strengths and adds a signature look to my images.

Can you share some full resolution pictures with it? Very small and light, especially compared to the Z-series DSLR sibling. Very pricey. Only real downsides are it has pretty strong vignetting on the wide end, and compared to these svelte little primes it’s a big honker of a lens. I thought wavy distortion was a Nikon feature, not a negative. His overview is thorough. Before any short introduction we tell you how long we have used a lens and if we have borrowed it from a manufacturer. I love manual focus and I am not a big fan of zoom lenses as – besides limited image quality- they limit your ability to explore new “insights”. True focal length is closer to 23mm. If you value the image quality of your fullframe sensor though, and won’t use the extreme focus settings a lot, it might be a good solution. 4. is already in this list and the others are not too likely to appear soon since we are always a bit sceptic of Samyang lenses because of their bad quality control. 780 g | $998 | photographyblog.com | ephotozine.com buy from Amazon.com | Amazon.de | B&H photo  (affiliate links).
