DSLR UWA are always going to be huge and bulbous. It's one area where mirrorless gain a lot of size and weight savings.

I did for various reasons... mainly for the size and weatherseal. I always wanted a 35mm f1.8-2 lens but there were no options. So I though the 24GM would make for a good compromise, but it turns ...

except when they don't ;-)
some of their key lenses are slow to focus especially their 56mm which where sigma would be nice.

Rather sad indeed, would have been so nice for me :-(

I don't think they sell as much as sony APS-C or m43 which is why sigma ignores them. SIgma only makes for major selling mounts.

not always true, their mirrorless lenses are pretty small.

Make America great again!

But most of Sony's own APS-C lenses aren't so good. Fuji had some very nice lenses. Unfortunately the primes are really slow to focus so sigma ones would have been nice.

I wish sigma 56mm was available for Fuji. X-T30+56mm would be an awesome combo for me

No it uses an updated 20mp m43 sensor and a definite improvement over the original

The RX100 is too fiddly. the lx100 is a very nice to use

They also highlighted their mistake about the size in big blue text :-D

The Kodak is a dye-sub printer much like the canon seplhy series. It also produces sightly larger prints and is of better...

I normally use back button focus and my shutter half press to focus is disabled. But when I turn on the pixel shift feature in the camera the half-press functionality is automatically enabled ...

Because if there isn't then 3rd parties were always in the clear to reverse engineer it and produce lenses which is officially not the case for z-mount

Sure but the question is if there is a similar parent for f-mount?

I imagine that would not stand up in court... "but your honour they implied that they wouldn't sue us in some random statements" the big 3rd party manufacturers like sigma or tamron won't go near ...

Not really AF is still not as good as native lenses especially for video. They are bodged up DSLR lenses.

I doubt the Zeiss' T* coating has remained the same for all these years. I imagine it's been improved upon over the years. They simply want to maintain the naming convention since it sells ;-)

Sigma lenses were designed for DSLRs and the adapter is larger empty tube unlike this lens which was designed for mirrorless mounts and can you can't just stick a tube to an e-mount lens for canon...

But there are 3rd parties already producing lenses for Z mount (there is one on front page of dpreview right now) I am still unclear what you mean or what this patent prevents 3rd parties from doing??

Out of all the lenses released recently I am surprised you guys picked this one to review considering you guys rarely do any lens reviews. Something like canon 28-70 would have been a more...
