Sigma 45mm F2.8 Hands-on Review ✈️ BEST COMPACT TRAVEL LENS?

[@jeffrey3498]

Close focus is very soft at f2.8.

[@aerokurt1]

It'll work good with sony a6000?

[@zekirami]

Great vedio. Is it better than ziess 55 mm for general photography?

[@Ava-wu4qp]

Nope. At least not by standard metrics. This behaves more like a vintage lens that happens to have AF. It's not the sharpest, had distortion, the aperture is quite small for a standard prime, and close focusing the lens is incredibly not-sharp.

@@Ava-wu4qp Well, mine is quite sharp so I guess its the sample variation coming out to play again! I really like the vintage swirly Bokeh this lenses gives.

[@18yearsoldnot]

@@omeharto288would you still get it in 2023? I’ve got an fp and like a soft bokeh

[@omeharto288]

​@@18yearsoldnotI think I would! It isn't a flashy lens but I have been really happy with the images it produces.

[@18yearsoldnot]

@@omeharto288 nice! I have the sigma 56 1.4 for aps-c and am going to trade it in for the 45

[@christophed4579]

Very interesting, thanks :-)

[@dandanu2526]

Very soft lens on wide open.

[@charruaporelmundo]

Fail on not make this lens 1.8. Samyang solved it, yes construction sucks but it is 1.8

[@dandanu2526]

Do you recommend Samy 45 mm 1.8?

[@IgorZirinski]

vs Batis 40 /2.0 ?

[@ChanelRose]

Great video! This was very informative. Maybe I'll come back for more

I would like to see a review of voigtlander e-mount prime lenses. Like the 50mm 1.4

[@Iskanderul]

I bought this lens for my A7s it was terrible on focusing - it confirmed focus but the the image was all out of focus. I had to return it. I'm thinking to buy A7III or A7RIII just for this lens - I love it but the focus confirmation on A7s was terrible, I don't know if they will release a firmware update.

[@DrWNoLs]

Why would you buy a whole new camera, just for a 600 dollar lens (250 dollars used)? Seems nuts.

[@mosher2302]

i had this lens for 1 day, terrible lens at 2.8. Not sharp at f2.8.

[@ryancube15]

it is purposefully designed not to be sharp at 2.8.

[@Ell.06]

@@ryancube15 why on earth would they do that?

[@ryancube15]

@@Ell.06 it's a side effect to achieve very smooth bokeh transitions

[@ryancube15]

@@Ell.06 you can Google and read the official description

[@Nerdzombiedisco]

Alejandro Ilukewitsch yeah, I agree. It’s a solid lens. Those other commenters must be terrible photographers.
