Sigma 16mm f/1.4 E-mount lens review by Lenstip


16mm lens at at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, FocusCamera, Amazon DE and Wex UK. 

Lenstip is one of the best review sites you can find. And they just tested the new 16mm f/1.4 E-mount lens:

The Sigma C 16 mm f/1.4 DC DN is not a flawless device; especially in the area close to f/1.4 you can find several distinct shortcomings. Still you have to remember that those shortcomings disappear on slight stopping down of the aperture and image quality improves very quickly too. As a result this lens’s resolution levels are close to record values on both types of sensors and we mean here records achieved by lenses several times more expensive than the tested one.

Pros:

  • good quality casing,
  • sensational image quality in the frame centre,
  • sensible resolution on the edge of the frame,
  • slight lateral chromatic aberration,
  • moderate vignetting,
  • nice out-of-focus areas,
  • silent and fast autofocus,
  • good price quality ratio.

Cons:

  • a bit too high longitudinal chromatic aberration,
  • not completely corrected spherical aberration,
  • too high distortion,
  • coma visible in the corners of both types of detectors,
  • noticeable astigmatism.

Kevin Raber explains you the A7rIII menu settings in a short 85 minute video ;)

Kevin Raber from Luminous Landscape made the precise and difficult job to go through all the Sony A7rIII menu settings:

With the latest firmware releases and the release of new cameras, the menu system has gotten somewhat better. As a new owner of a Sony camera if you are like me you sit down and try to work your way through the menus. Many of the menu selection titles are somewhat confusing, to say the least. So, many times you skip over a menu item because you don’t understand it. I hope this video can help with understanding how I set my Sony a7r III up.

Sony 18-135mm Field Test at Imaging Resource: “pairs very well with the A6500”

18-135mm lens at BHphoto, Adorama, Amazon, FocusCamera and BestBuy.

Imaging Resource first impression is positive:

Overall, the new Sony E 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS is a fun, compact all-in-one zoom lens for APS-C shooters. It’s impressively small for an APS-C 18-135mm lens and pairs very well with the A6500 — a nice, versatile combination that’s easy to carry around all day.
