Hi Jim, I did my tests this morning for DoF and I'm very happy with the results when out in the field...It ain't no big thingy, it just takes a bit of testing upfront, no need IMO to take a scalpel to the lens.^^^ Really nice, Barry. So how do you find the focus experience now that you've had time with it?
Thank you David, I misunderstood sorry about that...On my lens at F8 I just align the m (metre distance scale) centrally between F8 and F16 on the right hand side of the DoF scale...that takes pretty much care of infinity and where ever it falls for the foreground which is 2-3 metres away.Hi Barry. Some lovely shots and I wouldn't take a scalpel to the lens!! though I might try to put a white dot at where I discover the hyperfocal distance to be at f8. I love the way the lens renders OOF at f2.8 and on the whole I think it will be a real winner
If there is a nice person, who need help, I do my best.+ A big thanks to seb for that prayer because after practically 40 days and 40 nights of solid rain with heavy winds it just stopped abruptly like a miracle :shocked:
Hi José, I think you are right that is what I have read somewhere the 25mm Batis is slight wider than what is quoted which reduces the desire further still to own both the 21mm and 25mm...both lenses are superb it pretty much comes down to AF vs MF and the benefits of the smaller size of the Loxia...Cheers BarryCongratulations on the Loxia and the test shots, lovely. I was also thinking about getting it but after measuring the AoV of the Batis 25 I decided it wouldn't be be best thing to do as this one is a little under 24mm, more like around 23mm.
Thanks seb for kind words. I really wasn't kidding about the weather it miraculously changed for the better just like that!If there is a nice person, who need help, I do my best.
Nice bench portraits... Benches are the new Faces!
Thanks to you, I will order one...
Don't forget the price difference.Hi José, I think you are right that is what I have read somewhere the 25mm Batis is slight wider than what is quoted which reduces the desire further still to own both the 21mm and 25mm...both lenses are superb it pretty much comes down to AF vs MF and the benefits of the smaller size of the Loxia...Cheers Barry
BTW I'm on my third FE 35 1.4. I bought two with asymmetry issues finally went to local store first lens tried same thing, second lens seems to be a winner.
Hate to say it but do not buy this lens unless you can test it in store or return it.
You are starting to sound like me :toocool:I'm leaning on buying it but if it was 18 it would have been better for me.
Early days but haven't seen anything untoward as yet.Question for David, Barry, or others lucky enough to have this lens in hand: does the Loxia show much coma (sagittal coma flare) in the corners when shooting wide open? I'm guessing it does, but I'm hoping it doesn't!
Cheers!
