Game Set and Match for Sony! This is the best mirrorless camera on the market. The only real issue here is the big price :(
Preorders: Sigma 28-70mm at BHphoto. Adorama. FocusCamera.
Marc Alhadeff from SonyAlphaBlog tested the new Sigma lens:
The Sigma 28-70 F2.8 DG DN Contemporary (849 euros) is an excellent pro zoom for Sony full frame cameras. In most area it is equal to the Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art (1200 euros) for a much more compact size and reduced price. It even does better in term of sharpness at the short end and in term of flare resistance.
The Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art keep the edge for sharpness at 50-70mm and for the extra 4mm at the wide end that will be required for landscape shooters.
Compared to the Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 Di III RXD (750 euros) , the Sigma 28-70 F2.8 DG DN is sharper, has better background blur, better portrait rendering, better build quality and ergonomics in a little bit smaller size , lighter weight for 150 euros more only
Marc Alhadeff from SonyAlphablog tested the Funleader 18mm f/8 Cap lens:
The Funleader Caplens 18mm F8 (149$) is an toy lens : as small as a body cap and without any controls (no focusing ring and no aperture controls). Its price is a little bit high for such a lens but quality is there with good sharpness , no color shift , good vintage colors
Compared to 7Artisans 18mm F6.3, Thingyfy Pinhole Pro S that fall in the same category it is much more usable on a day to day and is fun to use
You safe 5% on the 18mm f/8.0 FE cap lens on the official Funleader store (use code “5sales”).
You can now preorder the new Nisi 15mm FE lens at BHphoto and Adorama.
Marc Alhadeff from SonyAlpha.Blog tested the new NiSi 15mm f/4.0 FE lens:
The NiSi 15mm F4, the first lens from NiSi , is a very good ultra wide angle combining very good shaprness, very nice sunstars, low distorsion , compatibility with standard filter and 100mm filter holder system all that at a very reasonable price : 479 euros
Compared to its closest competitors in term of size and price , the Laowa 14mm F4 (670 euros) and the Voigtländer 15mm F4.5 (699 euros), the NiSi offer the best balance of performances : It has less field curvature than the Laowa , a better centre sharpness than the Voigtländer and is the only one with a removable lens hood to allow a standard filter holder. It is a little bit bigger than the 2 others but stay quite compact and it is the cheapest of the 3 !
Highly recommended
