You can see for yourself here: https://youtu.be/pC8EVGD1nVY (admittedly against an RX 100 m4, not m5, but the 5 should be pretty much the same in image quality)

I've seen a couple of reviews, and they seem very positive: https://www.ephotozine.com/article/sigma-70mm-f-2-8-dg-macro-art-review-32368 https://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/sigma_70mm_f2_8_dg_ ...

I made a comparison of the 55-210 with the 70-200 F4 at https://youtu.be/OqyaC33SRfs The 70-300 is very similar to the 70-200 F4 in image quality, except for the obvious differences in aperture and ...

From my experience they're pretty much equal in sharpness (I had both the Sony 70-200 and 70-300 and have compared them), but with the 70-300 one stop slower. I.e. 70-300 at 5.6 is the same as the ...

It's the stop and half slower which makes it possible. But the thread starter ask for lenses faster than what is available for any APS-C cameras today (except for the enormous Sigma 18-35 F1.8) , ...

I don't think you realise the physics involved in making such a lens, there is no way an APS-C lens of those specs being small enough for a compact. Just try to find an interchangable lens of ...

The APS-C a5100 is hardly larger than the RX100. But put a lens on it, even the small kit 16-50 and it will be deeper. http://j.mp/2l6SXqi And there is not much which can be done about that, as the ...

Indeed it is, and yes that could be the one line summary :-)

I have both Sony 10-18, Samyang 12 and Sigma 16mm, so might be able to offer some advice. The Sigma 16 is amazing and possibly the sharpest lens I have. The Samyang I have is sharp for 2/3rds of ...

It's all compromises. A a6500 with a good prime lens will be significantly better than an RX100, but also a lot larger and less flexible. And with the smaller pancake lenses, and the 16-50 kit ...

Sounds to me like an RX 100 would be a better option. You can get better pictures with an a6500, but that requires good lenses, which will be much larger, particularly if you need a zoom, or ...

For what it's worth I recently tested this myself. I tested the Sony a6000, and Sony's top-of-the-line APC-S camera, the a6500 with kit lens compared with the RX100 M4. I kept shutter speed the ...

My Sigma is sharper in the corners at f/1.4 than any other lens I have which does 16 mm (10-18, 16-50 kit lens and DT 16-50). In the corners it's about the same at f/1.4 as my 10-18 is at f/8 ...

Sure, but as long as you're evaluating image quality after correction, it doesn't matter if reduced quality is due to distortion correction, poor optics or something else. What matters is the end ...

Atmospheric conditions can make any lens look soft at that distance. You can't really use long distance shots to judge a lens as bad.
