Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM Review
Finally got out to do some real shooting instead of just tests. I had my youngest with me so I didn’t get to ponder my compositions much I between making sure he didn’t end up face down in some tide pool but it was great to see some real world results from my recent purchase.
I think it is harder to manual focus this lens at 12mm than it was my sigma 14-24 at 14mm. The distance scale is not quite as useful and objects are small plus more perspective stretching of details in the corners.
I know the digital distance scale is arbitrary and not accurate; but the sigma had hyper focal around “2-4m” at f16/11 respectively and a long enough focus throw for me to be precise in hitting it (I could clearly feel the movement between each 1m interval). I perceive the Sony to have a much shorter focus throw, where I go from “1m to Infinity” with the slightest twist at 12mm; makes it less confident that I’m exactly at hyper focal.
When I have more time to play around with it I’m hoping I can find the exact hyperfocal equivalent distances on the digital distance scale and master hitting it quickly.
Very happy with the NiSi S6 setup, most of these had at least a CPL and GND.
