Sigma 18 35mm5/26/2023 The only problem I have had is with flare, have had to use my hand to block the sun even when using the OEM lens hood. I have used it both on my Sony a380 and on my Minolta Maxxum bodies color is excellent, and at 18mm it is much sharper than any of the Sony lenses I have had. I've posted a bunch of photos using my A7 and A7RII on DPReview the A7RII ones are at īought this lens on eBay because I wanted a lower-light capable lens but still wanted the wide-angle capabilities, and haven't been disappointed. Incidentally, no problems with AF using the LA-EA4 - at least not after I cleaned the lens contacts with a pencil eraser. I know that doesn't sound like the other reviews here, but that's what I'm seeing - so maybe it's a Q/C thing or maybe Quantaray branded ones are different? Anyway, price/performance is outstanding for a FF ultrawide zoom. maybe not enough for 24MP APS-C, but it is doing fine on 42MP FF. However, autolevels brings up the contrast and reveals excellent resolution across FF even wide open. I have the identical Quantaray-branded version of this lens.Īlthough the glass seems clean, contrast is very low and it gives "clumpy" specular points and veiling flare - it would be terrible on film. Veiling flare, not-very close focus, some purple SA ![]() Price, FF ultrawide, good resolution, modest distortion, not much CA Various Sigma and Minolta wide zooms, e.g., baby beercan There are better ultra wide lenses out there but for 10-20 times the price which I think is ridiculous. The lens is not isolated so do not use it arround a lot of dust or rain. I do not have hood for it and I am intending to buy one. ![]() I used my hand to shade and had better pictures. Flear is visible if you take picture against sun but this is ultra wide lens and I expected this to happen. Good and correct AF on day light and insight but is slow lens. The colours are not to my taste but I easily corrected it on camera settings. I bought this lens because is extra wide on full frame and accually I am happy to keep it. The colours are not worm enough like Minolta's one
