Thanks for the excellent explanation of the MTF charts. My budget director, (my wife), allowed me to get the 55mm Otus a few years ago. It's sick that the 40mm was in Otus territory on the chart. Sigma has done a nice job with their Art lenses for Canon in my opinion. The larger Canon bodies feel more comfortable in my hands since I am use to dealing with heavier lenses which kind of feels better balanced on the larger bodies. I add grips to my bodies because personally I feel more comfortable when I use them with heftier lenses.

Personally, I'll take size over extreme sharpness. That's why I'll stick with the 55mm 1.8 (281g) over the Sigma 40mm(1.2kg), even though the Sigma crushes it on the MTF charts. I'd really like to see the MTF chart on the Sony 24mm GM. I'm renting it at the moment, and its corner to corner sharpness is insanely good, even when wide open. I'm sure it won't be on par with the Sigma (what is), but it's a size that I can take hiking without hating myself :)

I felt like I'm going for an overseas body building trip with it for just a 40mm.

This might be a stupid question; I know bokeh quality is extremely subjective, but would you say that rounder/more perfectly circular bokeh is generally more desirable? One thing I noticed in your test was that the 40mm has more lemon shaped bokeh balls, and that would put me off from getting a lens, personally, while the less-sharp 35mm has almost perfectly round bokeh. What are your thoughts on this?
@geraldundone
@geraldundone 5 жыл бұрын
I think that for some purposes the rounder bokeh is more suited, but that can also make a lens seem kind of lifeless in certain scenarios. Lenses with abnormal bokeh can be more interesting and provide more character, but it would depend on the look you're going for and the subjects you're shooting. No wrong answer.

Here's a helpful article from the Sony Help Guide on it that will probably answer all your questions: helpguide.sony.net/di/pp/v1/en/contents/TP0000909110.html Personally, I don't change those settings, I do it all in post.

that size is crazy, I own the 35 Art Canon mount, and it works ok adapted to my A7r lll, but the 35 is already a heavy lens, the 40 seems like amazing image quality, but I would not buy it because of the size and weight. and if you are not pixel peeping you would never notice the difference over the 35 with the image quality.

I was considering the 50 1.4 from Sigma, not sure whether to go for that or this new one. Comparing with the 50 1.4 would have helped better.

The 50mm is very similar to the 35mm, so most of the stuff I said here stands.

Sigma has published the 35 mm f:1.4 for the L-Mount. It is dust and water resistent. Have they changed the optical quality of this glass? The difference in price between this 2 lenses is big and I wonder, wich one to buy.

When I get this 40mm, I'll be able to just toss in my bag with my 85 Art and my 104 Art, and have the perfect small/light on-the-go set up.

When you film videos with you speaking in front of the canera, do you use auto or manual focus?

I guess comparison with 35 1.2 sigma would be interesting here. Size price and sharpness.

This lens is at Otus level apparently. I've tried it on my 5DsR, GFX 50R and a7R2 whilst it outperforms most of its native counterparts nearly.

Which one would you recommend for a wedding photographer, if cost is not an issue? - Sigma 40mm 1.4 A or Tamron 35mm 1.4?

I want a good lens for filming KZfaq videos, In the same scenario as what you have. And 40mm is kind of the most realistic focal length I can get in my small room. And I wanted one with f1.4. Because Sony dont have a lens around 40-50 that can do f1.4 that is a gm, I think this would be the best one to use, even though it’s big it will be on a tripod most of the time

Awesome video review. I'd love to get my grubby paws on that thing for some wicked landscape shots, as f/5.6 - f/8.0 is my sweet spot, but alas I'm a Canon nerd.
