Re: FM Rolling Review: Sony FE 135mm f/1.8 GM


OK, so I take back what I said earlier about keeping the Sigma over the the Sony. I have shot thousands and edited hundreds of photos of this orchestra at this venue with the A9 and the Sigma 135. I just got back from using the Sony for one of their concerts and my initial impressions while shooting, reviewing in camera, and editing a few is that the Sony is better. More consistent focus, sharper, and the colours from RAW using just auto WB are just right. I only did minimal tweaking compared to what I needed to do with the Sigma. Reminds me of when I started using the Sony 50 f1.4 - the colours were just RIGHT - super easy to edit.

I'll have to sleep on it, but my gut is now telling me to keep the Sony. Big time.

1) 135MM - f1.8 - 1/200s - ISO1000 - Edited RAW:






2) 135MM - f1.8 - 1/200s - ISO2500 - Edited RAW:






3) 135MM - f1.8 - 1/200s - ISO800 - Edited RAW:
