I think I throw lens curvature (and most other lens aberrations) in the "is it good enough?" box that I used when I deal with sharpness. I know people love to rag on how lens A is sharper than lens...

@brownie314 I think Leica is probably the last "premium" brand out there that I can think of (not including Medium format). But that's like Bentley premium. Nothing in the BMW/Mercedes range....

@Adam007 I just got the Sony 35 (on a big EDU sale) and totally know what you mean about the fringing. It's eternally overcast where I live right now (woo....) so I haven't had major highlights to...

I think that's one reason to be happy there are so many options on the market. I happen to enjoy some cats-eye effect, since it can pull the eye to the subject. But I know it's a very divisive look...

@brownie314 Mostly because either buyers, internet reviewers, internet commenters, or some combination of all demanded for higher performance than what could be done at manufacturing budget for a...

I was totally ready to get this lens since I've been wanting a more compact 35 (my Canon 35 1.4 L II only comes out for jobs, never for walkarounds). Unfortunately for Sigma, there was a big Sony...

It was funny seeing the 2 photographers shoving each other for getting in the way of their shot. I bet there's quite a bit of tension in those stands. Thanks for sharing that!

That's exactly what I was thinking as I watched that. #1 reason why I never want to be a full-time photographer is that the fun of photography is overwhelmed by the need to get the shot to get...

Didn't even know that was a thing! Learn something new every day!

As excited I am about this lens, I'm actually a little disappointed with the minimum focus distance performance. It gets pretty ghostly wide open. I'm glad there are choices, but I'm coming from a...

@travelinbri_74 As someone who is actively looking at a 35mm and a 50ish mm lens for my a7iii, I'm really glad there are all these choices, mostly because I'm picky. For me, the large amount of...

Same! (Maybe even the sharks) Sadly, It's hard to get into considering the high costs for housings :(

Man, I'm loving this Roger and DPReview partnership!!! Such a great article, Roger!

From what I've seen from Youtube land from channels like Gordan Laing (Camera Labs) shows that it's pretty similar. For portraits, there is basically no difference. For birds in flight (or...

Roger is here?!?!?! WOOOOOOO!!!!

I just did that and had a good laugh. Thank you.

I saw the simulator when looking at the new 35mm and found it to be... jarring. Probably ok for beginners, but others have referenced better tools...

So the Canon 50mm 1.2 has a T stop of 1.5 while something like the Sigma 50mm 1.4 (since Canon doesn't have a 50mm 1.4 that's even sort of modern) has a T stop of 1.7.

So even though there's a...

@mwhyte
I do think there is merit, but only for certain demographics. Whenever I have friends who ask me "what camera should I buy?" I try to find a good fit for them. I have friends who are about...

@jwilliams

That's my experience too. I got BETTER results, but that was against a 6D, so not much competition there in the AF department. Still though, getting full coverage eye AF and tracking AF...

@Dave

I agree. I had to spend 3 days!!! setting up my a7iii to get it where I want (which is really bad), but since then, I go into the menu only to adjust screen brightness or format my card, all...
