Questions & Answers

There was a hard time picking between this and the Sigma Any thoughts?

A lens with this level of portability is hard to beat. This is like the sigma trio all rolled into Buying this is a great way to get started, if you don't already own a trio. This is a decision you won't regret.

Could you tell me the size of the ND filter? I want to buy some. ?

As of my a6400, the default settings I am 17mm
3/5

The ISO 5000 (Auto) standard To prevent single lights from burning out textures around them I used V2EV (two EV units, rather than one) I believe 1/125 is the fastest the photo so that only the specific area of the shot (8 is visible. Image size - 8 Mb) and found bright contrast, sharp edges on fencing and brick textures, along with a little wood grain on the telephone pole, plus some visible graininess, but it's an ISO of 5000 (this was displayed on a 39-inch Samsung television). There is much more light in New York City than in Because I served as a USCG officer at Governor's Island in the 70s, I am familiar with the place. As a result, I believe you will be able to take some superb images in New York City at night.

Lens that is very good in all aspects
5/5

The lens is well reviewed on YouTube and other sites- there are many examples of this. This is just a layman's view from a couple of years ago, when I bought an A6000. Having never used a camera in manual mode or in a different priority mode before, it's a first for me. At this point, I am fairly competent with this camera and have learned everything I know about photography from it. The kit lens had a mediocre image quality and I was looking for lens upgrades soon after I learned of its shortcomings. It was a Sony 50 f1 that was purchased first. The 50-1 was a learning experience, so it took time for me to progress. My research led me to the "Sigma trio" and has led me to the 30 1. Over the course of a year and a half, I have progressed through the three. The 16 of 4 and the 4 of 1 have been combined. A 30 used for hiking, sight seeing, etc. , and a 16 for birthday parties and kid-related activities inside. I also purchased a 70-mm lens for a bit more, making the 70 my favorite lens of the bunch. There is a 350mm Sony telephoto lens specifically made for birds and other animals. A 12mm Rokinon is also in the bag. The collection of some of the best Sony APSC lenses I have provided me with sufficient coverage for every situation I encountered and I have been completely My interest in the Sony 16-megapixel camera grew as I read more about it Despite the high cost, it is still so remarkable. That's why I held off on it. Fortunately, Tamron came out with this lens. The book offers a broader range and was well received in its early stages. In order to buy this Panasonic, I cashed in all the credit cards and gift cards I had and paid $500 less than the Sony. My photos account for 80% of my work. Hiking and casual outdoor stuff like sightseeing and sightseeing will definitely be a thing to do at this destination. There is a noticeable In contrast to 2, there are four. it's a great camera in general and I have no regrets about it. While I still use the Sigmas and will probably keep them for a while, I suspect I will get rid of the Sony 50 eventually. This is the first time I've touched it in a few I am pleased with the overall performance of the lens and recommend it to anyone with a similar usage pattern as mine- This is an excellent lens for general use, for family photography, some outdoor activities, just a great lens for general use. The image was captured on a Sony A6000 My understanding is that autofocus works better on the newer Nikon A6XX bodies so I'm looking forward to trying it out when I finally hobby can be a slippery financial slope, as I'm sure everyone reading these reviews is aware, but with this lens there will be no buyer's remorse).

The food is good, but I would not eat it
5/5

The nice sharpness of this lens was agreed upon by everyone, but as a nature photographer, the bokeh was extremely distracting, and the chromatic aberration issues were enough to dissuade me from keeping It has a 30mm f1 aperture and costs $250. This results in a score of 4 in all three In exchange for the Sony 10-50mm lens, I will purchase the Sony 10-16mm lens Besides that, I will be getting a dedicated telephoto, which is more suitable for my needs. You might be able to get better results when taking portraits indoors with this lens.

It's all about running and gunning
5/5

In other words, The Sigma trio is a super versatile, if you want to take photos throughout the city, you will want to buy this lens. I sold two of my sigma lenses (16mm and 30mm) and replaced them with it. I enjoy not having to change lenses all the time. The Sigma 56mm is still my favorite lens for portraits, however.

The razor is razor sharp with excellent stabilization at an amazing price

Wow! What is the point of having a Sony 16-megapixel camera If you have this at 55, why do The A6400 does not have IBIS.

We are the best in our This 24-mm full-frame camera has the same versatility as a 24-mm full-frame camera A sharp edge is a good feature
5/5

It is good that the autofocus works. It is excellent that the stability is so good. Despite the focus and zoom rings being in the same place, I'm a bit confused by their placement. Every other lens has been made in the past in a previous step backward. It can be very confusing at times. However, it doesn't have as nice of a picture as Sony 16-09 It cost a fraction of the price of a 55 G lens, but it had a longer reach. In terms of general use, it is hard to.

This is excellent
5/5

My jaw dropped when I saw how much better this was than the Sony 18-55 This is the 105mm G lens that I sold right away. A bit like the Sigma trio, as sharp as a razor. It is nice to see colors represented in this way. Would you like a wider range of options? This is an outstanding product, built to last.
