Yes.

Yes this is important, especially down low with an articulating screen opened to a good angle to help do the relationship justice, without face in viewfinder.  Easier to check with one eye glance ...

Seems kind of a sad review after how nice is the Viltrox 23mm f1.4 .  Mine's the greatest at f4.5 or f5.6 on the a6300.  At that aperture it is really sharp with great color and fades the distance ...

I really appreciate the insight here, having a Rokinon 24mm f2.8 and watching all the opportunities to do better. How about wider if keeping the Rokinon or Tamron, as between the Sony 20 and a ...

Super cool blackbird.  Has that look of "should I stay or should I go"

Call me an outlier in the wildlife art form, but three things in composition are (a) caring enough about the subject for a portrait, (b)  lining up with the joy of place and color in the ...

I used to wonder why hawks always had a waxy look.  Does this bird's belly looks like it is made out of wood?

Video says 38mm but if you want clean corners its more like 41-42mm.

Guessing that some of the sense of IQ in the 35 over the 24 is due to the focal length and what that does in relation to distance, aperture and composition.  Versus the difference of comparing a ...

Vis the Sigma, its a call to make for the situation because sometimes a 35mm equivalent will be too wide, like this one where the house wasn't needed with the palm trees.

Seems like a lot of general resolving going on but the look is kind of flat?  How does it compare with the 1.4x cropped to the same size?  I have a Canon 400mm f5.6 and 1.4x already needs good light.

Ergo, the answer is Samyang 45.

In theory, one could enjoy having the Sony Zeiss 24 as well as the Viltrox 23.  Yesterday I put the Viltrox on a7 and it goes wider to around 31-32mm, about halfway to the Sony 28.

Versus being stuck with the Samyang 18 and 24 on APS-C, here is a pic from today on a7 with the Viltrox 23mm f1.4, giving an FOV about halfway to the Sony 28.

Not such great light, Viltrox 23 in crop mode.
