Sigma 20mm f1.4 DG DN Art Lens Review L Mount:
If you are an L mount user like I am, and you’re looking for an ultra wide angle lens with a large maximum aperture, I have good news for you. Today, Sigma has announced two new lenses that will be added to their collection: the 20mm f1.4 DG DN Art, and the 24mm f1.4 DG DN Art. Thanks to them, I was able to get review samples of both before their release date, so that I could test them out. I wrote two reviews, and if you’re interested, you can find the 24mm f1.4 review here. In this one, I’ll be talking about the 20mm f1.4 Art, and what I think of it. [continue reading…]
Sigma 28mm f1.4 DG HSM Art Lens Review L Mount:
As many of you know, the 28mm is a focal length that is quite popular do to its versatility. It’s great for landscape, street photography, travel, and even environmental portraiture, just to name a few, so it makes sense that companies invest quite a bit in designing a 28mm that photographers want to buy. Sigma has a 28mm that comes in several different mounts including L mount. It’s the Sigma 28mm f1.4 DG HSM Art, and thanks to them, I was able to get my hands on one to test. Here’s what I think of it. [continue reading…]
Added a Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 to My System:
As some of you know, I am a big fan of L mount. I love what Leica has made in terms of lenses for it but besides that, I love being able to use lenses from big manufacturers like Sigma (I am a huge fan of Sigma lenses as some of you know) and Panasonic. Others are coming into the mix like a macro lens I recently reviewed from Laowa (review here). DJI is joining the L Mount Alliance as well, and lastly, I can still use my M mount lenses. They work perfectly too by the way. With all that said, I decided a few weeks ago to invest further into the system, and some of you may know I’ve always praised the Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 (review here). Well, I bought one, and now I use it as a companion to my Leica SL2. [continue reading…]
Laowa FFII 90mm f2.8 CA-Dreamer Macro 2X Review:
Macro was an area of photography that I would never really venture into much during my Leica M days, and one of the reasons is because it can be a bit of a pain to do with a rangefinder :). While macro photography still isn’t something I do often, it’s been really nice to be able to explore this type of photography more, thanks in part to my switch to L mount. There are actually a nice selection of macro lenses to choose from, and as of today, there’s another added to the list: the Laowa FFII 90mm f2.8 CA-Dreamer Macro 2X. Thanks to Laowa, I was able to test this lens out before its release date to see what it’s all about. Here’s my full review of it. [continue reading…]
Sigma 16-28mm f2.8 DG DN Contemporary Lens Review:
Wide angle zooms are some of the most useful lenses one can buy. There is just so much you can do with them from taking candid shots around on the street to beautiful landscapes, so it definitely makes sense for camera manufacturers to produce a variety of them. With that said, Sigma has just released the 16-28mm f2.8 DG DN Contemporary lens today for L mount and E mount. On paper, this lens has all the goods necessary to make it a popular one, so I was definitely eager to give it a try. Thanks to Sigma, I was lucky enough to get a sample of the lens before its release date to test. Here’s my full review of it. [continue reading…]
