I am starting to do more product photography and would like to use focus stacking. Which of the currently available lenses have minimal focus breathing?
First hand:
FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS
Samyang 24mm F2.8
Sigma 45mm is pretty minimal
From reports FE 35mm F1.8, FE FE 24-70mm F4 ZA, FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM, FE PZ 28-135mm F4 G OSS, FE 70-300 G OSS.
Sample variation is a problem for consumer photography. A lens may be designed to have no focus breathing, but what you get will not be perfect. Cinema lenses generally have a backfocus adjustment. Lens Rentals did a recent article about measuring the flange distance variation on E-mount bodies. It is not even just the lenses that vary.
