helged Posted July 19, 2017 Share #284 Â Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Impressive test results for the upcoming Sigma 14mm f1.8 Art at Lens Rentails (https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2017/07/sharpness-tests-of-the-sigma-14mm-f1-8-dg-hsm-art/). Â Will be interesting to see how the lens behave on the SL; please chime in with your experience with the SL+14mm Art combo! (I have the lens in Nikon mount on order, and I will pass a word when the lens arrives). Edited July 19, 2017 by helged Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested for landscape use, but trading  filter functionality for AF is not a good deal ..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested for landscape use, but trading filter functionality for AF is not a good deal ..... Good point. I have hopes for the coma, although the first reports are somewhat mixed. But I agree, AF for a 14mm lens is of little importance (for me). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider the TL2 for shots like the one shown; with the benefit of 1.5x crop (so 24 MP in stead of about 12 MP in the presented example). The downside is - obviously - poorer pixel quality, particularly at higher ISO and in shadows. Â It would be interesting to hear from users with experience from both the TL2 and SL at ISO 800-1600 wrt image quality. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downside is - obviously - poorer pixel quality, particularly at higher ISO and in shadows.  It would be interesting to hear from users with experience from both the TL2 and SL at ISO 800-1600 wrt image quality.  Gladly would I have been using the TL2 instead of the SL for this shot, but for the fact that mine went back to Leica last week.  During the nine days I had it, I got excellent results in that ISO range, with very malleable .dng files as well.  The  main difference I noticed was that in the TL2's shots,  shadows did not permit as much latitude for adjustment--but still came up cleaner than with other APS-C cameras I've used.  There was also less noise within fine details. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanhulsenbeek Posted August 19, 2017 Share #298 Â Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) Hi! Has anyone trie a Zeiss C-Sonnar on the SL? The 50mm/1.5 I mean.
