![]() | Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN C Pros: Sharpness, rendering and colors, construction, light and compact, bokeh, brightness, 9-blade diaphragm, star effect and price Cons: Lack of stabilization, chromatic aberrations, AF uncertainty, focusing noise in single AF. Opinion: I had been wanting a fixed with this focal length for a long time but I had always oriented myself on the Sony 35mm 1.8 for FF, discarding the other Sony 35 for APS-C. Then a few months ago I looked at this lens, which was not considered initially because for APSC... After reading and looking at some reviews on the internet I decided to buy. I can say that I am fully satisfied with it. I'm more of a landscape photographer, I go a lot in the mountains and therefore in my opinion a zoom remains essential, especially during long excursions to avoid continuous lens changes, but this lens, for the price it has (combined with the quality and photographic performance) must absolutely be present in the Sony APSC kit. Perfect for portraits and street, I used it during trekking and even here it did not disappoint me. At full opening it is very sharp in the center, a little less at the edges, but really something imperceptible (at least on my sample, I read some less enthusiastic reviews). Excellent bokeh, colors and the general quality of the files it returns. By closing the diaphragm you can also create backlights with a nice star effect. The build quality is good, considering it doesn't belong to the Art series (Sigma's top), it's light and compact – attached to my a6300 it fits in my jacket pocket. Let's get to the cons: I included the lack of stabilization for objectivity, but it is something that you know in principle when you buy it (which can be remedied with the most recent camera bodies equipped with a stabilized sensor, for all the others freehand just take advantage of the aperture or raise the iso a little). Chromatic aberrations are noticeable, but they are corrected well in the car or in the post. The AF uncertainty occurred in single focus, where – at full aperture – changing the focus, the lens struggles or rather is not immediate in focusing and the AF motors make a lot of noise. Closing the aperture the situation improves quite a bit, but I found the real solution by setting the AF to CONTINUOUS. Here, at any aperture, the focus is really very good but at full aperture (given the very shallow depth of field), to have maximum precision, I recommend selecting the focus area on "flexible spot". Manual focus is fast and accurate. I conclude by saying that the lens has character, going out and shooting with it is a lot of fun, allowing you to take home shots that will leave you satisfied. Furthermore, given the quality and yield it offers and the price at which it is sold (I found it on offer around € 280) it is a best buy, not only for those who have a Sony APS-C, but also Canon R or Nikon Z. sent on February 20, 2025 |
![]() | Sony Vario-Tessar T* E 16-70mm f/4 ZA OSS Pros: Great all-rounder, compact, realistic colors Cons: price of the new Opinion: Assuming I'm an amateur, I bought this lens about a month ago. The price of the new is really high, so I was looking to find a good used. Fortunately during the first day it dropped to 639 euros. I bought it right away, also taking advantage of the sony cashback and in the end I paid it 539 euros. The difference from the 16-50 kit lens, in my opinion, is noticeable. At F4 it falls at the edges, but closing f8 also the edges become sharp. The colors it returns are great. One thing I didn't like were the numbers that are painted that, instead, given the list price, I would expect engraved. I am satisfied with the purchase sent on August 21, 2019 |
