Re: Sigma 14-24 F2.8 DG DN first impressions | |
Mine arrived this morning, here are some quick thoughts:
1. Auto focus performance is slow as compared native Sony lenses. This is my first Sigma lens, and the only non-Sony FE lenses I've had are Zeiss primes. Auto-focus performance probably won't affect my usage much, as this is a landscape lens.
2. I was somewhat hoping this could be used for the rare occasion I want to vlog or shoot wide video on a Ronin SC, but it might be too heavy. I haven't tried it yet. Autofocus performance is also something to test for video.
3. Close focus sharpness is very very good, in my quick test. I need to test sharpness at infinity yet, though.
4. The rear filter system as described in the booklet is achieved by cutting filter sheets using an included filter guide, a fine marker, and scissors. I'm quietly hoping someone will make well performing filters for this so I don't have to cut them myself.
