Product Information

For example, if you want to showcase the bride in her surroundings, you can do that with a wide-angle lens: NIKON D750 + 20mm f/1. At the moment, the biggest benefits of the focus by wire system on Z-series lenses are: quiet AF operation, fast focusing speed and superb AF precision. As this is a fully manual lens, the aperture, consisting of ten blades, has to be adjusted manually using the ring. In use, we found the focusing to be indeed very-very quiet, and pretty fast - but not instantaneous -, with the lens mounted to a Nikon D700 body.

which does have a 77mm filter thread), so all they had to do was increase the front of the lens to support 77mm filters.This is a very important design criterion for a modern camera system that helps prevent lens tilting. No lens can keep in focus at long distance with tremendous quality like this one, not even the best leica short and average telephoto. Back when I was learning photography in the late 1990s, third party lenses were well, let’s say subpar, to be polite.

The value of the Sigma is hard to beat considering the image quality is hardly discernible from that of the native Nikon lens in most situations. every once in a while if I need more depth of field, but if you stand a bit further away from your subject and shoot wide open, these lenses can make stunning portraits. This alone is enough to make photo geeks drool, and after shooting it for more than a month I can confidently affirm it’s a lens deserving of this lustful status. I do, however, like how the lens renders the sun in a star shape when you shoot at smaller apertures. With the lens wide open, you can see some heavy light fall-off in the corners and along the frame edges.

However, many other photographers, including our very own John Bosley swear by this lens and use it every day for their wedding photography needs.

I then started mini shoots on holidays and charged a little bit for those, again, letting them know I was still using them as a learning experience. Distortion correction also appears to be excellent at close distances particularly compared to their other lenses.Bokeh is a word used for the out-of-focus areas of a photograph, and is usually described in qualitative terms, such as smooth / creamy / harsh etc. There is a very noticeable longitudinal chromatic aberration (which is the effect of color fringing in front of and behind the focused area) present, especially when shooting at large apertures.
