Greg OH: Meanwhile, real photojournalists have been using SLRs and DSLRs for 60 years...
@NDT0001 anyone would freak out at that ticket price
marc petzold: 1400$, so maybe 1500 EUR into Germany...i'd say, the Sigma ART 35mm F1.2 is then the better Deal, for the same price, a bit faster, albeit bigger.

And btw, the Tamron DSLR SP 35mm F1.4 is a very good 35mm Lens, but not for E-Mount. It's sharper into 1:1 Comparsions than the "mighty" Canon 35mm F1.4 L II USM, see the 1:1 Christopher Frost Comparsion Video, and others on YT.
Good Light.
the sigma is a behemoth. very few people will want to bring barbells around
sportyaccordy: 524g with good performance..... impressive. Hopefully Sony keeps updating old lenses. A new 24-70/4 would be a big deal for some.
Hello Fuji wish that you would also update your aging fast primes
looks like another fantastic camera from fuji. wish sigma would bring in their trinity primes from e-mount
great concept but poor execution. its already too large and bulky. not exactly a "bridge" that marries the best of both worlds. might as well do it using a fullframe sensor and call it a day
miggylicious: 4 sample images only?
it kind of does
4 sample images only?
miggylicious: i love this formfactor. was shocked at all the negative comments. guess that means all of dpreview's user base is not the intended audience. personally, i never expected this to be highend. specs may be underwhelming but in reality is already overkill for most people. ive stopped drooling at other cameras after getting my a7iii 2 years ago. im sure sony did their research and this camera will sell well at least for the next 5 years (along with timely pricedrops and discounts).
we should probably look at the bigger picture: sadly, like it or not, smartphones are dramatically improving. the P40 Pro saw a huge jump in IQ thanks to a much larger sensor and intelligent image processing. the gap with APSC got smaller and smartphones continue to kill dedicated cameras. the A7c might be a solution to growing necessity - there is a significant IQ gap between the latest smartphones vs ff sensor. and right now there is no way a ff sensor will fit inside a smartphone (the future could prove me wrong though).

would have much preferred a 20-50mm 3.5-5.6. the 28-70 already performs very well for me... except that its not wide enough. especially today where everybody stays at home thanks to covid-19.
M4NH4CK: Whoever first introduces an affordable wide angle zoom for my Sony FF gets my pre-order money on day one. No matter the aperture or the telephoto end, just make sure it goes at least to 20mm or wider. Bonus points for Sigma branding on it.
This is SO not it. Wonderfully compact, sure, but at 28mm wide it could be zero inches everything for all I care.
agree. would have much preferred a 20-50mm 3.5-5.6. the 28-70 would have already performed very well for my everyday needs... unfortunately, its nowhere wide enough. especially today where everybody stays at home thanks to covid-19.
looks like an excellent lens catered to a few. sample shots look great. sharp and clean. bokeh is consistent and flat but lacks a bit of character that i love with older film designs.
gphome: Good option for Fuji shooters, to get near the DOF that FF can offer if they desire. I still think Fuji should just refresh the 23mm and 35 F1.4 and the 56 F1.2 with modern AF motors though
exactly.
fantastic comparison. i could not tell the difference. im pretty sure 99% of viewers could not either. good job to 7artisans. also, these test shots are well made. good job to the photographer who compiled these shots.
looks impressive to me. this is what the R should have been from the get-go.
sportyaccordy: Man I hope the 45/1.8 follows up. That lens is amazing. I will be first in line for it. My RF 35 1.8 and Sigma 50 1.4 EX will be out the door ASAP.
Samyang has come a long way from the 50 1.4, which frankly was awful. All I need from them is that 45/1.8, the 14/2.8 and a small + light 135/2.8.
ive been using the samyang 50/1.4 AF for a year now and i promise you that the AF is vastly improved with the latest firmware (but still a tiny bit noisy). and i can tell you that the IQ rendition and bokeh is incredible. its glued on my a7iii since its a very versatile portait lens.
miggylicious: samyang should have used more natural images for their sample gallery instead of "filtered" instagram-like images
@mike you want to show off the capabilities of the lens. overly filtered images kind of defeats that purpose.

the elimination of veil/ghosting is already a huge improvement for me. sharpness is not a huge improvement. but that's an acceptable downside of keeping the lens extremely compact.
thumbs up chris is the best way to scare away the kids! ;)
