Pros: Sharpness, contrast, colors, brightness, build quality
Cons: Autofocus noise in video
Opinion: I am a simple enthusiast, so mine is a non-professional review and as such should be read. The lens is very sharp, in the landscape photos at closed diaphragms (e.g. f8) allows you to have crystalline images from one corner to the other, a little ' postcard ' effect that I wanted without ever reaching when I used compact cameras of other times. The sharpness seems even almost "exaggerated" in the photos of people, especially if they are not children, as it is ruthless against any defect or imperfection of the skin; In portraits of adults-especially women-so I tend to use it more often at full aperture, so as to soften a little ' the grain of the skin... As for the brightness, which is one of the main reasons why I bought a fixed (the kit 16-50 in my opinion is a good goal), now at F2 I can take pictures inside the house at 600-1000 ISO, where before with the kit I needed 2500-3200; Which, together with the sharpness and contrast, allows me to get photos that leave me very satisfied. Bought from Amazon, the autofocus already has the 2.0 firmware and is quite fast; Maybe less than that of the kit, but with little light the parts are reversed thanks to the greater brightness. As for the absence of stabilization: under 1/30-1/40 of a second is easy to risk the blur, but I have to say that I do not take pictures to people under 1/60, so they are not stopping them... so if you stick to those times minimum (or better maximum), the problem is not Poses. For static subjects with little light, on the rare occasions when you can not use even a mini-tripod, I imagine that the advantage of the Sony 35 mm becomes clear. The focal length is very versatile: in the photos in the House the field is not too narrow so you can easily make portraits more or less enlarged; Outside it is easy to use the famous zoom with the feet, so easily pass from the photos of small groups full length to the portraits with half-bust. Weight and Dimensions: slightly heavier (50g.) and bulky (2 cm.) of the kit, but still acceptable (I hate bulky and heavy equipment), however well balanced with the machine body (a6000) and pleasant to look at and touch; It remains almost always attached to the machine, I carry with me also the kit in a relatively small enclosure of case logic (18x14x10), together with a mini tripod, spare battery etc., and I use the kit only when I need a wide field for landscapes, or if I want The minimum weight (by bike for example) and in that case maybe I leave the touit at home. The blur varies depending on the situation, and I'm still learning to use it: almost magical in some cases (especially with partial backlight), a little hard in others; In any case, much nicer than that of the kit (but it was obvious). Very nice also the contrast and the three-dimensional effect that derives, easy to find at many openings; Which, together with the very vivid colors, always give me the sensation (or perhaps the illusion) with this lens of being able to make magical pictures. Which is difficult to argue in a technical review... |
