If you're asking about sharpness, the sigma is as sharp or sharper than the sony 12-24mm GM. https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1659827/0#15320820 The only reason to get the Sony 12-24mm f4 if ...

Why aren't there more cheap Leica Ms? Brand has value but doesn't mean it's better. Used prices for Sony 12-24mm f4s have come down though so it does reflect the relative lack of value to other lenses.

I had the Sony 12-24mm f4 and now have the Sigma 14-24mm f2.8 - it is significantly better in every respect and well worth giving up the 2mm on the wide end. They have similar strengths and ...

I have the iPhone XS Pro Max and it's a good size. My wife has the iPhone XS and at this point I prefer the bigger screen and would not go back to the smaller screen size. I still use an iPad...

Thanks for the input Tom & Morris. Appreciate it! I plan on bringing everything (driving) but I can carry only so much weight on the hike! Good idea with doing panoramic instead to lighten the load.

Going to GNP in a couple of weeks before the park closes. Interested in doing some wildlife photography there - want to see some grizzly bears and bald eagles and will do some landscape ...

A smaller and more nimble company might make better decisions than as part of a large corporate bureaucracy. The innovators dilemma is real...

I can see new Olympus (referring to camera division)...

Good advice...I sold the Sony 200-600mm because of weight and bought a Sigma 100-400mm that's gotten a lot more use. However, I just re-purchased the 200-600mm as 400mm just isn't long enough for ...

Yes, I'd sell my A7R III and get it. 42mp sensor + real time tracking in a smaller form factor.

Love how people here managed to turn a positive initiative into something negative...

Sony seems to be very far behind on the camera phone front still. The Google Pixel, iPhone, and Huawei phone seems to be still at the top of the heap through better algorithms and computational AI ...

I tend to agree with your assessment on the 200-600mm - I took it on a six mile hike (big mistake) and decided to sell it afterwards for the Sigma 100-400mm which is much much smaller. The Sony ...

I've shot with the Sony 100-400mm, Sony 200-600mm, and the Sigma 100-400mm. You're not going to see much of a difference between the Sony and Sigma versions for bird in flight since the main ...

Definitely feel this way - I've reached the point where any additional moves I make is diminishing marginal returns. Sigma 14-24, Sigma 24-70, and Sigma 100-400mm. My all-around travel zoom kit. Si ...

You're not going to see much better results going down to f5.6 from f6.3 unfortunately for bird in flight where you need to maintain high shutter speeds - this is why 400mm f2.8 lenses are massive ...

The Sony version has better optics, faster AF motors, and better focusing algorithms than the Canon version + mc-11. If you want to use Canon, the Canon version isn't as good as the Sony version ...

The Sony 24mm doesn't actually have the same focus motor type as the 135mm GM according to Sony's spec sheets. The new Sony 20mm actually does - "linear actuator" vs "DDSSM" which is an older ...

I've been very happy with the Sony A7R III and didn't feel the need to upgrade to the A7R IV. I'm sure the Sony A7R IV is better in some respects but I would get the RIII right now since Sony will ...

I don't think testing with a running person using an 85mm lens really stresses the Canon R5 in any meaningful way. The better test would be a bird moving in an erratic direction while using a ...

If you can afford it, get the Sony 12-24mm GM. Why not (you only live once...) and it's certainly the best ultra wide angle lens available for Sony. Just note that 12mm is really wide. If you plan ...
