    I bought one for Astro and it has been great, unmatched for one take (long exposure) shots even. Now I find myself pulling it out at the track when I'm doing motorsports...just to add some more creative (different) shots for the day. Only 4 or 5 images (compared to 2-3K) so it it is still more of a niche lens.

    Check f4 some of the Sigma lens get soft at f4 fit some reason. There was a video I was watching showing this issue with the Sigma 135mm F1.8 vs the Sony 135mm.

    Is it better than my Nikon 10.5mm APS-C fisheye? I've been looking to upgrade since it's the only lens I own and people keep complaining that their wedding photos are only in fisheye and I don't know what to do

      @RanftEvan  11 місяців тому +1

      It’s hard to say exactly because it’s 2 different cameras. But I would say the same if not better, but the only way to truly know would be have them both on the same body. I’ve made photos at the Marriott with both lenses and I preferred the 14 prime images

    İ test it for video, but too much distortion in the corners. So I went to Sigma 20mm 1.4 wich I really like. But for photography the 14mm is a special lense, it's really good.

    Awesome tests, Evan. Great lense
    Absolutely agree with the notion of plateauing in regards to some camera technology.
    I think that Sigma and Tamron have been two companies that have always been on the edge of innovating some of the stuff that we've already seen many times before I think it's because they don't have super advanced technology like ai eye-tracking and focusing or 8K raw video that they have to put in cameras in order to make a good product instead they dump all of their XP into specing out their lenses. 😂😂

    Kept waiting for you to comment/compare it to the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 AF-S on your desk Evan. Astrophotography would be the obvious use case. No reason for landscape shooters to lug this beast around. And softness at f/1.4? Of course. That's why I rarely shot wide open for commercial work. Just. Too. Risky.
