7Artisans 10mm f/2.8 Fisheye review by SonyAlphaBlog

Share

SonyAlphaBlog reviewed the 7Artisans 10mm f/2.8 Fisheye lens and concluded:

The 7 Artisans 10mm F2.8 Fisheye (300 euros) is a Compact stereographic fisheye with good sharpness in the center as of F4 and good on the entire field as of F8. Color rendering is good and background blur is soft.
The closest competitor is the TTArtisan 11mm F2.8 Fisheye (300 euros) that offer a similar rendering with a better sharpness but a less good resistance to flare. On 24Mpix the 7Artisans will be recommended, on 42/50, 61Mpix the TTartisan will be more suited

SONY, Please Make a 300mmf/2.8 Prime lens, by Patrick Murphy-Racey

Share

PMR writes:

Much of sports, action, and performance photography happens under less than ideal lighting and so f/2.8 lenses are still needed to capture quality images in these situations. As it stands now, there are only two lenses that are f/2.8 for this purpose, the FE70-200mm f/2.8 GM and the FE400mm f/2.8GM lenses. This video is a formal request asking Sony to produce a 300mm f/2.8 prime lens ASAP.
