Re: Fun with the Sony A7 Series Cameras( all of them)
Another 21mm Loxia image...If you are looking to buy a new compact 21mm lens for the A7 series...look no further IMHO
This is without doubt optically the finest 21mm lens that I have ever owned to date and I have had several Leica and Zeiss lenses previous to this.
My only real hesitation in the beginning was the short focus travel between 2 metres and infinity just as David said on the other thread, having now established exactly where the hyperfocal distance setting is for my particular lens, I am 100% delighted.
It resolves fantastic right into the corners when stopped down and it has a lovely OoF rendering when used WO best seen when you focus in close-up to your subject matter.
It has very little distortion and a typical amount of vignetting that you would naturally expect from a 21mm lens it also handles flare well if shooting into the sun.
The Fab 3 as liked to call them were the Sony 35mm F1.4 Distagon, 55mm F1.8 Sonnar and the 90mm G F2.8 Macro...Now I have the fantastic 4
Seriously it’s a bargain at the price IMHO certainly when comparing against all the other new 21mm lenses at this calibre.
If you already have this on Pre-Order I am sure you will be delighted as I am
