Re: Any comments on Sigma 10-20 f3.5 or Pentax 15mm?

Re: Any comments on Sigma 10-20 f3.5 or Pentax 15mm?
Ralf I don't see much flare in the night pictures I have taken with the 15 https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gnjd82fijffi9lt/AACBX9s4oEpWajDqKbM-MYjta?dl=0 You do get a starburst effect - perhaps that's what you mean? Admittedly most of these are at dusk rather than night and there does seem to a little flare in second last one from the moon and that was the one shot in here that really was at night.

Re: PESO: The Drop
I think you did well with the framing, David. Close quarters for the DoF.

I needed to brace the camera against a railing for this, and it made the framing a bit of a challenge. 0.7sec at f/11. Should have packed a mini tripod.

Re: PESO: Stone Bridge
Thanks, Pual. While it is normally a bucolic scene, on that day 35,000 people descended on Moorland Farm for the annual Far Hills Race Meeting. Most of them parked in the open fields partially visible in this image, and then crossed this bridge to enter the race site.

Re: sigma 18-35 review
Don't think you have accurately summed up. From the article linked: Excellent aberration control with very low amounts of purple fringing and Perfectly accurate autofocus, regardless of aperture, when using Contrast Detect AF (Live View) but using the viewfinder autofocus was inexplicably awful (at least on the sample of lenses PF tested). I wonder if this is something that could potentially be fixed via lens firmware? The thing I like the least about sample images I have seen from this lens is the bokeh.

And the pictures they had right above where showing purple fringing on the FA77.

I do not agree with the review in the bokeh department. I think this lens has weird bokeh. I'm very intrigued by this lens. Since I do a lot of low light indoor photography, the zoom range could be incredibly handy. But, with my poor eyesight, I need fast accurate autofocus.

Re: sigma 18-35 review
I've probably made 10k+ shots with mine now, I've produced many amazing shots, it kills the FA31LTD performance wise and whilst focus can be hit and miss who is really surprised, no phase detect AF system is designed for an 18mm f1.8 lens. That said it's no where near as crap as has been mentioned and why they compare it to the 20-40/4 I have no idea, they are two completely different beasts. The flare performance is damn good for a fast zoom, again I'm not sure what they are on about.

And the pictures they had right above where showing purple fringing on the FA77. Perfectly accurate autofocus, regardless of aperture, when using Contrast Detect AF (Live View) but using the viewfinder autofocus was inexplicably awful (at least on the sample of lenses PF tested). I wonder if this is something that could potentially be fixed via lens firmware? The thing I like the least about sample images I have seen from this lens is the bokeh. I do not agree with the review in the bokeh department. I think this lens has weird bokeh. I'm very intrigued by this lens.

Re: Any comments on Sigma 10-20 f3.5 or Pentax 15mm?
on 2014-10-30 9:48 Sandy Harris wrote I am trying to put together a lightweight kit for travel. Looking at web reviews, I'm inclined to think the Sigma 10-20 f3.5 is a lens I want. However, the Pentax 15mm is considerably lighter and reportedly very good. i am looking for comments on those two lenses or on alternatives. my two-lens travel kit is usually SMC (pre-HD) DA 15/4 and DA 35/2.8 ltd macro; i use the 35 a lot more, but the 15 is all i use for wide shots these days; there are many reviews that dissect the technical qualities better than i can, but i can just say that it's the right wide lens for me because it is very light and compact and i can depend on it in many lighting conditions; i often put the sun in the frame and still get great results (with care on the exposure) My current walking around combo is A 50 1.4 on K-X. That is likely to get upgraded to DA 50 1.8 on K-3 before getting the 35, i shot tens of thousands of frames on an SMC-A 50/1.7 which remains a favorite, but now gets little use; i like how 50mm (on APS) isolates subjects, but i find 35 makes me think more I have the 16-45 f4 which goes more-or-less wide enough, but it is heavy and not all that wide, i shot a lot with the 16-45 and enjoyed it; it's not as heavy as the 16-50, which i tried to like, and yet it is still quite bulky; once i got the A-50/1.7 the 16-45 became disused and it's now on extended loan to a friend so I will likely leave it with my daughter who also shoots Pentax. I also have the A 28 2.8 but it is not wide enough to be the main lens for this and is not autofocus before i got the 35 i really enjoyed an FA 28; in fact i like the focal length better than 35 (it is a perfect normal on APS), but the other qualities of the 35 won me over -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
