A little question about Sigma 14-24 sunstar

Re: Odd and even

Thanks! You are right that the sunstar is really a subjective matter because we have different definitions for a beautiful sunstar.

I have compared my shot with other photos taken with Canon 16-35 F4. I realise that the rays from Canon is longer and that the centre is more defined than the Sigma. To me, Canon is a bit better than Sigma, by not much.

What I find interesting from the video is that the gap between the mirrorless Sigma and Canon is much larger than my above comparison. So, it could be that the DSLR version of 14-24 gives much better sunstar than the mirrorless version. Or, it could be related to the source of light. My above observation draws from comparing the sunstar when the photos are taken directly against the sun.
