Confirmed...35mm ƒ1.4 GM https://twitter.com/nokishita_c/status/1349128751532019712?s=19

That guy drives me crazy, almost every day. :-D

I use a Think Tank Digital Holster 150, which works very well to hold the lens and a gripped body.

Unfortunate. Seems like it must just be a limitation of the combo of that lens and the LA-EA5.

Have you checked to see if AF-S vs AF-C give different results?

No. You can't separately disable IBIS from the lenses' OSS. They work together and are either both on, or both off.

Did I miss something? I thought this lens is merely rumored. It hasn't been announced by Sigma.

Yes, run away. Likely to be a costly repair.

Yes, it's a Mark 1, which I prefer in the 10L size. (I also have a 6L Mark II). I haven't had much trouble with it slipping, but I should probably get those anyway, just in case.

Very capable little lens for a remarkable price. (I got mine for $270 via Greentoe.) More than happy with the results.

I use a Peak Design 10L Sling for that setup (2 bodies, 12-24 GM & 12-24 Sigma). Works very well.

The distortion is really not bad at all; simple barrel distortion. Here's an example, uncorrected and corrected via Lightroom profile. Uncorrected distortion Distortion corrected by LR lens profile

Sounds like the shutter speed fine tuning feature. See here - https://petapixel.com/2020/04/13/sonys-shutter-speed-fine-tuning-feature-totally-eliminates-led-flicker/

I bought one a couple weeks ago to keep in my 'small' kit, for when I don't feel like carrying my 12-24mm GM. So far I find the performance very impressive for its extremely modest price. Here's a ...

Great summary! Mirrors my experience as well.

Now I've got the adapter, if the sun would only come out, I could try it. :-D Minolta 500mm Reflex AF on LA-EA5

Got shipment notice from B&H this morning!

For sure get the a7Riv and the adapter. With the deals that are currently available, the a7Riv plus adapter will likely cost less, and it's much more camera. I loved the a99ii when I had one, but ...
