Maybe as heavy, but as long? Or the way the weight is distributed? That's the thing about the way the ART lenses are adapted for Sony.

I grabbed an ART 50 for my A73 and while the IQ is top notch, I hate the balancing of it...It's terrible. I much prefer the 55 on the Sony. That said, I need 50mm and a faster aperture sometimes. ...

Hmm. Thanks. Yes I do use HSS quite a bit outside as I have the power. I don’t love NDs for this reason. So the light meter wouldn’t be helpful in this case?

Probably a good point. Can anyone recommend one? That doesn’t break the bank...

I'd like to get away from using my TTL strobe and using my AD600, which is only manual.

In the studio I have no trouble with nailing exposure when using my AD600...I typically use the same 47" Octa in the same position... The other day I was using an AD200 with a client outside and ...

Excellent. Really appreciate the input here. It's interesting that he uses the 55 on MF for these portraits almost exclusively...but I've read the 40-45mm FoV is very close to the natural eye and ...

Interesting. I'd think this would factor in with facial distortion, no? 43mm is probably fine for that, but 35mm might introduce some.

On the IQ250 or a 645Z the 55mm looks like a 43mm in terms of field of view, no? The .79 multiplier is a 43mm F2 lens. But in 35mm terms what looks more like this in terms of compression, angle of ...

I don't think I can get into Samyang...but record with them. With a Tammy on the horizon it would be a tough proposition anyway.

Was about to pull the trigger on a Planar 50 and then saw the news about Tammy's new offerings coming up. The 45 1.8 was my favorite lens for Nikon so if that's in the pipeline, I'd be so happy. ...

Hmmm. Thanks! Interesting. I don’t see the 50 on there. But I have a 35 from Nikon too

That’s like $400. It’s used price is like $500. So probably not

Thanks. On the R3 with adapter?

I have an R3 and I came from Nikon. My favorite lens in that lineup was the ART 50. Frankly, the e-mount looks funky, and the used prices are very high for this. I was thinking I might grab a ...

Thank you! I am less concerned about weight and more about quality control, etc. The 35 Zeiss was a disaster for me with Sony. If you feel the Sigma ART 50 is similar enough, I may have to try ...

Interesting. Thx! I love the 45mm FoV because it's very much the cinematic look -- not too long, not too wide. Haven't really looked into this lens too much. I loved the Tamron 45 on my Nikon and ...

I love the 55, but coming from the ART 50 on my Nikon, I find it too long...I just can't get used to it. It's noticeable because the ART 50 was my go-to. The FE 50 is probably a little slow and ...

Anyone know where to find these? I have two Luxbanx purchased awhile back and have switched to AD600s, but don't know where the heck these speedrings are. I guess this would work, but - ouch - $44? ...

The Sigma ART 50 is my favorite lens in Nikonland. For my Sony I have the 55 Sonnar. It is an amazing lens, but I skew more towards environment than isolation with my portraits and 55 feels long. ...
