14mm GM Field Test by Imaging Resource: “It’s a stellar lens”

Share

Preorders: Sony 14mm f/1.8 GM at BHphoto, Adorama, Focuscamera, Fotokoch, Calumet DE, Park Cameras UK, Wex UK.

 

Imaging Resource published their field test and concluded:

Overall, there are mostly good things to say about the Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM, with very few drawbacks and downsides. The lack of a front filter thread or optional large lens hood with a filter thread are the only negative things I have to say about the lens, and even that is pushing it. Would it be nice if it could focus slightly closer? Sure, but there’s little use case for that. Is 14mm a niche focal length? Absolutely, but that’s not a knock on the lens itself.
The lens is a fantastic ultra-wide prime that exhibits great sharpness and impressive control over aberrations. In addition to performing better than the Sigma 14mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art lens, the Sony 14mm f/1.8 GM is smaller, significantly lighter and similarly priced. If you own a full-frame Sony mirrorless camera and you want or need a fast ultra-wide lens, the Sony 14mm f/1.8 GM is the lens for you.
Of course, you give up some versatility in exchange for that fast aperture. If you want a wide-angle G Master lens with some flexibility, the 12-24mm f/2.8 GM zoom is a great choice. If you want to use front filters, the 16-35mm f/2.8 GM is another outstanding option. What if you don’t need a fast aperture but still want ultra-wide focal lengths? The 12-24mm f/4 G is a great lens for about the same price as the 14mm f/1.8 GM. But if you really want the f/1.8 maximum aperture, the Sony 14mm f/1.8 GM is a fantastic option. It’s a stellar lens.

Sony Alpha 1 review by TheVerge: “everything nice at an expensive price”

Share

Sony A1 at BHphoto. Adorama. Amazon. Focuscamera. FotoErhardt DE. Calumet DE. Fotokoch DE. Park UK. WexUK. Join the Sony A1 Facebook group here.

TheVerge reviewed the Sony A1 and concludes:

At $6,500, the Alpha 1 is a professional tool with a professional price tag. That is certainly not cheap, especially compared to the equally professional Canon R5, which sits comfortably under $4,000.
But the A1 earns its price tag with its massive sensor, high-spec video, all of the dials and buttons one could need, an outstanding AF system, and fast burst modes. It can work across many disciplines with all of these features — from professional video work to studio, strobe work, and even action photography. It’s like Sony took all of the best features of the A9 Mark II, the A7S Mark III, the A7R Mark IV, added the ability to shoot 8K video, and then put it all into a single camera.
For pros in the Sony system looking for the ultimate single-body tool, this is it. The rest of us might choose to buy a few extra lenses and go with a more inexpensive camera in the lineup, depending on our needs.
Still, I’ll be wishing I had the Alpha 1 in my hands the next time an opportunity to shoot a professional cyclist comes around.
