I've used B&H, Adorama, Buydig, and my recent Sigma 14mm f/1.8 was purchased from Roberts Camera; that was a very satisfying experience, as have all but one with a problem with Adorama after the ...

Just received the Sigma 14mm f/1.8 ART this week, haven't had much chance to use it yet for astro work due to cloudiness, but with the D810 it seems to be fine for landscape (sorry, don't have a ...

Atmospherics are also at play here. Trying to capture small subjects at distance on a warm sunny day most surely equals soft oof images. Static subjects closer will yield good results with proper ...
