Sigma 20mm F/1.4 Art Lens Review on the Sony A7sII

Share


Moonlit Night – A Sigma 20mm Art Lens Review
from cinema5D on Vimeo.

If the Loxia 21mm f/2.8 isn’t fast enough for you than well try this brand new Sigma 20mm f/1.4 lens! Cinema5D (Click here) tested the lens on the A7sIi and writes:

This lens kept its promise offering superb quality and while it is made for photography with some ergonomic drawbacks for video it is still among my favourite lenses of all time. The kind of shots I could achieve with this lens, without any noticeable quality loss is amazing and opens up new possibilities for people who like lowlight shooting. Furthermore this lens opens up your path to shallow depth of field at wide angles, which is rarely seen outside of high end professional productions.
The biggest highlight about the Sigma 20mm F/1.4 Art Lens for me is its price though. At $899 the value for money you get is very high and makes it an affordable option for shooters working with a Sony a7S II.

The lens is now in Stock at Amazon, Adorama and Bhphoto!

You can finally preorder the new Zeiss Otus 28mm f/1.4 lens for…$4,990!

Share

Zeiss_otus_28mm

You can now preorder the world’s best Full frame wide-angle lens at BHphoto (Click here). It costs $4,990 and will ship in February 2016. Although there is no A or E-mount version of the lens this is a highly recommended lens for A7x camera owners. It’s a manual focusing lens anyway and Sony cameras offer more focusing aid tools than Canon/Nikon DSLR. An investment that will pay off in time as lenses like this one will last your whole life time!
