    I used the Viltrox 13mm 1.4 on my X-T4 for the northern lights last night (that was spectacular here in the middle of Germany). That lens has a lot of the things you mentioned. It is my favorite lens for my Fuji…

    In essence, what you’re saying and I appreciate, is that wide also means depth, even when the background is blurry, as opposed to a tele that compresses depth.

    Hi Omar, I use the Fuji XH2S for my event shooting plus the Nikon Zf for night events. The widest I have right now is 18 mil and was looking around for something wider, but torn between a Nikon lens or Fuji lens. Either way, I think you've given me a few options here to consider. I'm also considering the Sigma 16mm, which is an APS-C but it's 1.8. Oh, we're all so deprived of choices!! Thank you!!

    I used to own the Canon EF 16-35 but never really used it the way I should have. Sold it off and only recently picked up the cheap RF 16 2.8. I'm having a blast with it. I find that the small size is key. Very simple to toss in a bag or pocket which means I have it with me much more often than the larger wide zoom. 16mm on full frame allows you to get very creative.

      @@andreabeccarisi1126 But we aren't talking about "opinions" if you want information about the objective performance of a lens. You only get that information from tests and reviews where you can see the result. How exactly does unverified words from a random stranger add anything to that? If all reviews say the Sigma 16 1.4 is amazing, but I tell you it's crap but without providing any verification for my statement, what's the point of it?

    You are so good at event photography and getting that decisive moment. Trying to decide if I should get the 24-70mm f2 Sony when it's released, since I already have the 24-70mm GM II which is my most used lens. The only fast prime I still have is my Sony 50mm f1.4 GM.

    • @fotografalexandernikolis
      @fotografalexandernikolis 6 місяців тому

      Lack of aperture ring is annoying indeed, but the size is due to them being optically stellar. All the Z 1.8 lenses are among the optically best lenses in existence, don't let the simplistic exterior fool you.
