Sigma 402965 16 mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary Sony E Lens - Black

Product Information

But not everyone has a Canon camera with IBIS, so I asked Ben to make some similar tests with his EOS R body. So here he is filming with no stabilisation from the camera or the lens, and this is filmed in 1080 for uncropped coverage on the EOS R. The camera is held on the end of a Switchpod stand which you can see reflected in his sunglasses. How do you know which lenses are a good buy if you can’t try them out beforehand? Why do some lenses cost so much and others so little? Should you buy a wide angle lens or a prime? Is that fisheye lens as good a deal as it seems? For stationary/close-up work, the Fujinon XF 16-80mm f/4 R OIS WR has a versatile focal length range, image stabilization, and a constant aperture of f/4, making it suitable for a wide range of car photography needs. Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM ELD SLD Aspherical Super Wide Angle Lens for Sony Digital SLR Cameras Now, look at the two images of the bike below. In the one on the left nothing really stands out in the image. By getting even closer the bike is made more of the focus in the image. I’m mere inches from the front tire in the second shot.

As with the other smaller Fujinon f/2 primes, this lens includes a weather and dust seal around the base of the mounting plate. The entire lens is also weather and dust sealed and can withstand a serious drenching. on a Fuji mirrorless camera body has a 35mm equivalent focal length on a full-frame sensor, the field of view of choice for street photographers, wedding photographers and any other photographer who wants a storytelling lens that’s versatile enough for portraits, landscapes and everything in between. Above: but when both lenses are closed to f5.6, I’d say the 14-35 is looking a little crisper if you have a high resolution body like the R5 to get the most out of it.The ‘R’ is an abbreviation of ‘Ring’, and signifies that the lens is equipped with an aperture ring. i.e. you can use the ring around the lens to control the lens’ aperture value. Within this list, there are even more things to consider like the aperture of the lens, the angle of the lens, a prime or zoom lens, and so on and so forth. When combined with the high ISO performance of the X-series mirrorless camera lineup, low light photography is made a lot more achievable. My choice would be the XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR with its constant f/2.8 aperture, fast autofocus, and versatile focal length range, which makes it perfect for a wide range of event photography needs.

When it comes to autofocus, the Fujinon XF 50mm f/2 is one of the fastest Fujifilm x-mount options available. There is zero evidence of focus hunt even in low lighting conditions making this a great lens for capturing animal or children portraits. If you’re looking for a more affordable and lightweight Fuji wide-angle lens, the 18mm f/2 lens is a decent alternative at almost half the price. You will be losing some ability to shoot in low light and 2mm on the wide end, compared to the 16mm f/1.4 version though. It’s debatable whether this is the absolute best option available today, but the near-legendary Fujifilm 35mm f/1.4 is certainly the most popular lens in the Fuji X mount lens lineup.Here’s the three stabilised clips side-by-side with IBIS alone on the left, IBIS with digital stabilisation in the middle, and IBIS with enhanced digital stabilisation on the right. Many photographers tend to lean toward a zoom lens when shooting landscape photography as it means there is a bit more versatility on a shoot. One of the limitations of a prime lens is that the only way to zoom in and out is to move to the ideal location for the frame. Read the description of what a wide angle lens does (above) one more time. Notice that they are designed to distort and stretch perspective. You can see the subject separation and smooth bokeh exhibited by the 23mm f/1.4 in the image below.

This image (above) was shot from the hip (literally) as I crossed the street in NYC. I wanted the feel of the people coming at me. The finished image was cropped and processed like this: Above: Astro-photography is another key subject for ultra-wide lenses, and here the broad coverage has allowed me to easily grab a nice landscape element of the South Downs facing North in this five second exposure on the EOS R6 at 1600 ISO and with the lens wide-open at f2.8. The big question though is how those stars look, especially close to the edges of the frame when the aperture is wide-open. Consciously look for subjects that will look great shot with a wide lens, and follow the tips above. Converging lines of a long hallway lead the viewer into the scene. Iconic Bally’s entrance in Vegas, which is now gone! I’m really glad I took this shot now. I see a lot of questions in forums about the best lenses for XT3, XT30, XT200, XH2s, XPro3, XT100, XS10, Xa7, ZT5, X Pro2, XH1, and all the other various compatible Fujifilm mirrorless digital cameras. Focus is silent and fast, perfectly complementing Fujifilm X mount mirrorless cameras for discreet shooting.Fujinon XF lenses feature all-metal construction, larger maximum apertures, aperture rings, and OIS toggle switches.

Above: to illustrate that, I’ve superimposed a red frame where the outer edge represents the coverage from the 16mm. Above: Close them both to f4 and there’s minor improvements to contrast and sharpness, but again the 15-35 stays slightly ahead… At half the cost of the 56mm and a third of the cost of the Fuji 56mm APD version, this prime now provides consumers with an entry-level option to hone their skills at this focal distance. Above: and finally for them both at f5.6 where I’d say the 16 continues to enjoy a minor lead. Note this test was made with a central focus point to evaluate the overall field flatness and you may enjoy sharper corners if you focus in the corner. Above: and again at f5.6, but the 15-35 remains ahead throughout, while also delivering sharper corners or at least a flatter field than the 14-35. But then it is also the biggest, heaviest and by far the most expensive of the three – funny that.

How do you use a wide angle correctly?

The distortion correction profile used here seems to be mismatched to the lens - images are under-corrected towards the centre and over-corrected towards the edge eg. #9. The Adobe profile does a much better job. In terms of CA, the lens has a ton of it, which gets enlarged when correcting for distortion. It looks like no CA correction was applied here, or it was ineffective. Turning this on in ACR reduces it a lot (but there's still quite a bit left). Ho preso cosi seriamente la cosa che ci ho impiegato un intero mese per completare le mie ricerche su ogni singolo obiettivo compatibile con la mia Sony A6400, studiando tutti gli Obiettivi Kit della A6400, ogni singolo Obiettivo Firmato Sony e tutti gli Obiettivi Custom di Aziende Importanti del Settore, ma nonostante io abbia letto centinaia di Recensioni su Siti Italiani ed Internazionali tra le poche costanti che vi erano in tutte le recensioni la costante più evidente era un nome che continuava a comparire, SIGMA. Silent operation combined with these stealthy looks makes the combination popular with street photographers and documentary wedding photographers who wish to remain unnoticed to capture moments candidly. So your nose gets elongated, your jaw looks like it’s protruding, and your head looks ginormous! Sound familiar? 17mm lens – not so flattering for the model in this image. You can also adapt various Canon, Nikon, or even micro four-thirds lenses to the X mount by purchasing the appropriate adapter.
