I don't know what it is. Maybe lens design problem, the center of the lens collects more light than it should. The effect is quite weak. Really need to try hard to see it.

Flares are not dead center

I am interested.  I think this lens is good for larger bodies, like A3000.  Hope Sony makes A5000 or A7000.  Then I will buy this lens.

Sigma 30mm is very good lens.  Unless you going for Zeiss, Leica types of lens, it's hard to beat 30mm.

Better than my Nex 5N in regards to exposure in these panos.

much faster than any other phones

Sony needs to make a similar one with a new adaptor without mirror or prism,  and decent AF with alpha lens.   I think this is a new trend that mirrorless are becoming the first cameras instead of...

I had 14-45.  I have 12-35 now for the light collecting ability, not for the sharpness.

overstating ISO

Newer Nex cameras have 0.5-1 stop more DR.

Anyway, people rarely use A77 for serious video or film work. Most common ones are 5D III and GH3 for low budget shooters, also Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera.

The problem of A77 is that it doesn't have full manual control in video mode and f/3.5 restriction, regardless tracking ability. I would like to see GH3/70D comparison, with better setup than show...

Great I'll buy one to use 14-54II and 11-22mm 4/3 lens.

Not bad deal.  Viewfinder too small, it's for AF, just trust system I guess.  Not bad.  I might get one.  But I prefer A5000 or 7000 if they make a better version.

just print it

I am curious about 18-105mm in comparison to other two lenses.  Very little info about that lens.  Any test shots on some websites?

I have GH2 (had GH1), both AF are much better than Nex 5N. OM-D, especially GH3 are even better.

It's 2.8.  But it's sharp and AF is not noisy.

Mostly agree.  M4/3 Af is way better than NEX.
