A year ago I would've been drooling over this lens. I purchased the Sigma 14-24 f/2.8 and the Voigtlander 15mm f/4.5 Heliar earlier this year, and if they did anything, they taught me that I really don't need anything that wide. (The sunstars on that Voigtlander, tho... ) Turns out, I rarely find myself shooting wider than 24mm and the Sigma 24-70 or the Sony 24GM are in my bag way more than anything wider than that.

I normally film at 20mm since I always film people in my videos, I find it's a nice balance of wide view + distortion free video. However this lens at 14mm oddly looks like it may be usable for this purpose as well as it doesn't seem to have the crazy distortion I usually see from ultra wide lenses.

This would be a great option for its AF capabilities, but at more than double the price of the Laowa, I'm willing to deal with the manual focusing. These wide lenses with close focus distance are so much fun, and really let you get some creative shots.

@petermusti1842 3 жыл бұрын

Dear Gerald, thanks for the review! Since a year, I use Voigtländer 12/5.6 III for Sony FE. I also tried Sigma 14-24mm. AF, faster apperture and zoom range seduced me...but I gave it back in the end. Why Voigtländer keeps beeing my one and only? Why I would consider thinking on this option even if you are a autofocus fan? (own experience) 1. you can leave focus on one position in order to have everything in focus. Hyperfocal distance is extreme on ultra wide angle lenses. No AF needed. 2. For moving objects, normally 1/160s is sufficient against motion blur. You don't need a AF system. At 8.0 every thing from 1m to infinity is in focus (42MP) 3. Blury background rarely produces a desired/outstanding ultra wide picture. It is not the top attribute of an ultra wide angle. 4. Price of Voigtländer is around 800€ thus significantly less expensive as either option presented. 5. Voigtländer sunstars are outstanding already stopped down 1/3 stop at 6.3. Really well defined, well pronounced, no comparison to Sigma in my experience. Don't neglected sunstars in ultra wide pictures! Sun is mostly present in the frame! (Sorry Gerald for the bad photo-weather) the Sun is evidently a prominent element and should appear good... 6. Center sharpness at 5.6 is remarkable. Edge sharpness is a bit worse. But at 8.0-11.0 edges are very usable. (ISO100, ~1/200 s is mostly no problem in day light) 7. A typical composition of good locking ultra wide pictures is the game with perspective, lines and foreground/background. In my best shots I have very close elements and very distant elements dominant in the same shot. So stopping down is a must to get everything sharp. --> a fast lens provides no significant plus. It also needs to stopped down. 8. Finally: weight...it is at 380g. I have it with me all the time. Even if you add, for example, a samyang 24/2.8 to your kit you are lighter, less large and cheeper than Sigma 14-24mm, and have 2mm extra on the wide end... Honestly, zooms are mostly used at theire extremities. The only drawback I see is astro and moving objects in the dark... Even indoor shots of static objects, hand held with (low) artificial light source are possible: burst-shoot at 0,5s ISO100 ; one of 5 is fine (IBIS) All in all, with time, if you think on the entire "package". It is remarkably how well the various parameters of a lens design are balanced. (I don't work for Voigtländer ;-) )

Sony g master 14mm f1.8, or the sigma 14-24mm! Just wondering if you think the quality and distortion control is worth sacrificing the ability to zoom? Appreciate any feedback

Just saying, the minimum focus distance is always measured from the little icon on top of the camera. Which is the position of the sensor. Because the Sigma is much taller you can focus a bit closer.

@orphanuprising 3 жыл бұрын

The minimum focus distance is measured from the sensor plane right? So could it be that since the sigma is much larger, the entrance pupil is closer to the subject? Even though the minimum focus distance is 2 cm longer, it's appearing closer?

Good info! On the Sigma lenses, it could bear repeating what Art vs Classic vs Whatever means in their lineup. Same with Sony... G vs GMaster. When reviewing one marked as such, I could use the refresher on what it means. If this is minimal breathing, I was surprised. When focusing on and off the cube, the neon tubes in the background get translated what looks to be a long distance as their blur changes. Is that translation movement the breathing you're talking about? There's a lot!

@geraldundone 3 жыл бұрын

This lens definitely has some breathing, just not as bad as the recent G Master releases. The breathing isn't so much about objects blurring out of focus, but more about when your field of view changes as you focus. If the shot gets a bit tighter or wider, that's focus breathing.

ALWAYS look at Gerald Undone first, For filters Haida rear lens nd filter kit for sony fe 12-24mm f 4 g lens should work have on my 1224 f/4 and f/2.8 for night they have the Clear Night filter that I shot with my f/2.8, very good for sky glow and good colors with ground lights. Where the Ultra Wides like 10,12,14 start to deform is when shooting in a room, shot at a corner from a corner but windows and doors will be elongated/wider. Some will want to use in a church/temple/mansion to get all the cool art but sides will be out of form and best to use a narrower lens and do a pano if possible. I saw a review with astro MW and this lens is like the 20mm f/1.8 and 24mm f/1.4 pinpoint stars wide open at 15s with an accurate NPF of 10.45s with A7s 10.47s A7Siii and a default of 20.95s. For astro the thing to remember yes you have 1.8 but SS has to be faster that 2.8 (accurate 11.73s A7Siii). Why because you are using more edge glass where comma is worse, just physics. The Sigma DOES has comma at 1.8 seen if galactic center is to the right in frame, sad!!! Also remember ultra wides must be level for straight lines. Thanks Gerald will be in my bag!!!!

@echoauxgen 3 жыл бұрын

Ist have the Sigma, only good at 2 or 2.8, 2nd took the Sony out on the A7iii and had dove stars but on the A7Siii perfect. 3rd did the March firmware update and dove stars were gone, so do the camera update. 4th if you love, LOVE the 24 and the 20 you will want to marry the 14. Corners are pinpoint in landscape and portrait and no pincushion like the Sigma. This lens is perfect for portrait view 180 + panos even tilted up with horizon at bottom 1/4 as a close object, lifeguard stand is not affected and you will get the entire MW that is overhead after midnight in June, the arc is like a giant roller-coaster add the Alyn Wallace Starglow Filter (when available in 150m) you will get a dreamy sky full of stars, did with 20 and so good!!! I even captured a sea turtle laying eggs that came up behind me with a super fast SS that was so bright had to lower exposure so it looked like night with the stars and lights on the horizon. Gerald I hope you still have the lens and you can do some Aurora Borealis up there where you are. The 1224 f/4 and f/2.8 and 1635 f/4 are also superb for astro for years just pick what your wallet will bear speed is not everything!
