Barry..... thanks much for feedback on this exciting lens. Just got my 7RIV and needed a 35mm lens and was looking hard at the Milvus but have read a lot about the Sigma... all positive except for size, weight and cost. None of that bothers me.Thank you Bart....Luna is indeed lovely, sadly she had been badly mistreated in her past but fortunately rescued from that previous existence!...We are very happy to have her with us now and she is settling in just fine
Re: Sigma Art 35mm F1.2 DG DN Sony FE mount (Brief summary)...Spectacular indeed!
This is one of Sigma's recently announced ART lenses specifically designed for mirrorless cameras rather than DSLR's - It has a very tiny amount of CA shot WO which cleans up dead easy in ACR (A lot less than you would expect from such a fast lens...much less than the LaCA on our 21mm f1.4 Noktons).
Barrel distortion is evident in the (fixable) raw files but not really evident in the jpgs with camera corrections switched on as you would naturally expect.
The weight, size, focus by wire and possibly the price will be the main drawbacks for those who like to manual focus their Voigtlander 40mm F1.2 E...Other than that - IMO it is the finest 35mm FL lens that I have owned to date MF or AF (and I have owned many).
Bokeh quality is subjective but for me it has that lovely soft buttery rendering WO with fantastic sharpness from f/1.2 upwards.
It's relatively easy today to find a super sharp 35mm WA (Aperture stopped down) lens or a 35mm WA lens with creamy/dreamy bokeh (Aperture wide open) but not so easy to find a lens with both those attributes altogether in one single package that works well with Sony's thick sensor cover glass that doesn't require an adapter.
I agree, it's a constant struggle. Every time I see these nice photo's from the Fuji and Hasselblad "cropped" MF's I get tempted, same with the great (and big/heavy) Sony G lenses. But in the end there's no way I can carry it all on the type of outings I make, so smaller size and reasonable performance come at a premium for me. But that doesn't mean that I can't dream about those other systems and lenses :facesmack:And see I'm thinking of making my kit even smaller
Congrats Victor on getting your A7R4...Having fun with your gear is surely what it's all aboutBarry..... thanks much for feedback on this exciting lens. Just got my 7RIV and needed a 35mm lens and was looking hard at the Milvus but have read a lot about the Sigma... all positive except for size, weight and cost. None of that bothers me.
I'll have it in two days. Today I receive the Voightlander 65mm. Exciting times..... This is more fun than my 4150
