They seem to not give much wiggle room in terms of flange distance, which is good for lenses that have floating elements.   But I've found with certain lenses, with field curvature, where I want ...

SMC Pentax 28mm f/3.5 K - Great color and sharpness for landscape shooting. Seems to shrug off diffraction better than other 28's I've tried. SMC Pentax 85mm f/1.8 K - Shares adapters with my 28. A ...

Good choice, I do like my Laowa, but the Sigma is better.  ;) -Tim

I forgot you're shooting with APS-C, so you may not be fully able to see how the corners are on full frame.   But if it doesn't look good on APS-C, then you know you have a lemon.

You can try something like this. A subject at distance (to minimize DoF issues) in harsh light on a clear day. https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1534737/0

I moved to Sony in 2013, with the a7R. The lenses that are most often in my bag are... Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 - so good it can arguably replace my Laowa 15, Batis 18, Loxia 21, and Batis ...

Congrats!   Just do a little testing when you get it to make sure you have a centered copy.   The first one I got was weak in the lower right corner from 18-24mm.   The second copy was close to ...

Here's a comparison between the Sigma 14-24 and the Tamron 17-28. https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1616877/0 I can't help you with the other lenses, but I have the CV 15, Laowa 15, ZE 15, ...

I was lucky enough to get my copy for $1199 via B&H Dealzone.   It's a great lens, amazing performance for a UWA zoom. -Tim

Well, the Tamron is 1:2...I think the Batis is like 1:3 or something.   Plus if you are really close to the subject, the Batis will stop down to 2.8.  So as to the edge, I guess maybe the Tamron. I ...

I have the Tamron, and had the Batis but sold it. The Tamron seems to focus faster in AF-C vs AF-S FWIW. If you were doing landscape and macro, I'd suggest the Tamron. For street, portraiture, and ...

Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 DG DN Art Tamron 35mm f/2.8 Di III OSD 1:2 Voigtlander APO-Lanthar 50mm f/2 Voigtlander APO-Lanthar Macro 110mm f/2.5 And adapted, SMC Pentax 28mm f/3.5 K -Tim

Phenomenal lens. -Tim

It works amazingly well.

I have both and I like the bokeh better on the Tamron.   I also think the Tamron is sharper in the corners wide open (which may not really matter to most people.)  The Samyang is so small, no ...

I assume the OP was talking about the Sigma 14-24 in Sony E mount, which is a different lens than what you are linking to in the comparison. -Tim

AF is a little slow, but the Tamron 35mm Di III OSD 1:2 is sharp from wide open.  It has 1:2 macro, is pretty well corrected, and is fairly small and light. Very surprised with this lens.   It's ...

It's a great lens, better corrected for CA/LoCA compared to the FE 55. -Tim

Some of those FLs seem like a leading question.   But CV APO-Lanthar 50, 65, and 110.   The Batis 135 (or GM if you need the speed.) That leaves 90mm. -Tim

I couldn’t recreate this with the 35 on an a7R III with the latest firmware. Had the camera set to AF-S and tried at f/2.8 and f/11. -Tim
