That's a lens I need to get. I have the 19 and 30mm.
Yes, I like this lens. I also have the 19 & 30, but for 4/3rds, but I'm selling my EM-5 kit. Wonder if its possible to have the mount changed on the Sigma's. They are wonderful lenses.
It was an art installation at the botanical gardens in Phoenix. Basically a dodecahedron dome skeleton with water bottles protruding. Supposedly lights were going I see for the gardens light spectacular display, but I was too early for that. Thank you for your kind words.
I am thinking of buying the A6000 and a prime wide angle lens, either the Samyang 14mm/f2.8 ED AS IF UMC or the Sigma 19mm/f2.8, both of which I believe are Manual Focus lenses. Here's my question for A6000 users:
Using Focus Peaking, how does that work (or how does it tell me that I have optimum manual focus?) Does this show on the LCD as a illuminated blip or a histogram-like graph? Or what? Users of Manual lenses for the A6000 say they can achieve that rather quickly after some practice. I wear eyeglasses so it is important for me to have some kind of visual confirmation on the eyepiece or LCD.
If anyone can illustrate Focus Peaking on their A6000 I would greatly appreciate it. And oh, please don't tell me to buy such-and-such a lens. Cost is a factor. I cannot afford those Zeiss wide angle ones.
OK I checked on the Luminous Landscape website and there was a nice and comprehensive write-up on Focus Peaking. Now I understand it. But feel free to expound your experience using the A6000+MF lens.
Errata: I believe the Sigma 19mm/f2.8 is AF, not MF.
