Now here are my favorite traits of each lens. As stated earlier all three can be purchased for the same price as one Sony prime. I had a discontinued Sony mount Sigma 30mm f/2.8 lens before and it was nowhere near as good as these lenses even though it was branded as an Art lens. Contemporary price with Art level performance. Light and small, especially considering their specs and impressive performance. All have swift, silent, and accurate autofocus. Far more pleasing than any other Sony APS-C lenses I have used. f/1.4 across the board all with 9 rounded aperture blades. There is something oddly satisfying about having aesthetic similarities across a line of lenses. Here is a list of common strengths across all three lenses. These are three of the best prime lenses that I have owned. Good reviews are great but the Sigma lenses are not values if they do not perform in actual use.
Good enough to keep? Not if I could find a better option. All OK with the XT-100 and X-E2, but still not enough to keep me with Fuji. A great 27mm f/2.8 that was also compact. An fine performing Viltrox that was larger than I would like for a replacement for the slow focusing 56mm f/1.2 I had tried previously. This led me to selling off a Fuji kit that I was mostly happy with, but would happily trade them for faster focusing Sony bodies with a consistent set of lenses to replace the great but inconsistent mix of Fuji mount lenses I had put together. What?īased on my prior AF experience with the a6000, interest in the newer, reasonably priced even better a6100, and the excellent Sigma lens reviews I figured this may be what I was looking for. The only Sony APS-C lens that really interested me was the 24mm f/1.8, but at over a $1,000 dollars it is more than I am willing to pay for an f/1.8 lens with OK reviews.Īll three Sigma f/1.4 lenses combined with a case cost exactly $19 more than one Sony 24mm f/1.8 lens. Few Sony choices and the few that exist are either slow at f/4 or worse, large, or expensive. And why so few Sony E mount prime lenses, 7 in all? And why no new prime lenses after so many years.
#Best sigma lens for sony full
The 35mm f/1.8 should be considered but I chose the Samyang 35mm f/2.8 for its small size, IQ, and full frame mount flexibility instead. The only one that came close to interesting me was the 50mm f/1.8 but I would sooner buy the full frame Sony FE 50mm f/1.8. Sony prime lenses were all too expensive, did not have specs that impressed me, or did not make sense. Other than that no other Sony APS-C lenses interested me. Will not win any awards, but quite handy.
