delivers a slight but noticeable improvement in the center and also brings back the sharpness in the corners. Build quality feels of a consummately professional-grade standard, from the brass mounting plate to the grippy rubberised hood.

As these examples shows the lens is is a little susceptible to flare when shooting directly into the sun, even with the supplied lens hood fitted, but overall it is well controlled thanks to the lens' Super Multi-Layer Coating. Lucky for them, people have started to bash Sony, and all of a sudden no one cares about Nikon's jpeg.This means E-mount and DSLR mounts are shown without correction, and most other mirrorless mounts are shown with correction.

I have yet to come up with a radial gradient preset to correct this for any given lens, because it would be a very annoying task to try and match each scene based on the focal length and aperture. I have also used both lenses back to back on my A9, in the field, and the AF difference is waaaaaaaaay exaggerated. All things considered this lens is very capable resolution-wise, turning in a performance that should prove a match even for high-res bodies.It's funny, because we complain about taking a little time to remove noise from and image, and say cameras with tiny bit less noise are better, but don't care about cameras with bad colors. The icing on the cake is packing it all into a barrel that’s not only a little shorter than rivals, but noticeably lighter, making it more attractive for long event work. She sat down with us recently to speak about her work, what inspires her to go out into the wilderness at night, and how preparation is the key to success. Sigma loaned me a final production sample in the Sony e-mount and in the video below I’ll show you how it performs for landscapes, portraits, close-ups, and general use. It's definitely a mixed bag and the impact will largely depend on the kind of photography the lens is used for.
