Cattoo Posted January 3, 2022 Share #186 Posted January 3, 2022 First time out with this lens today. I'm impressed.

Virob Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share #188 Posted January 18, 2022 Has anyone experienced the corner sharpness loss in portrait vs landscape orientation as described in this article? https://www.cameralabs.com/sigma-150-600mm-f5-6-3-dg-dn-os-review/ This isn't something I would think to look for when evaluating a lens. My copy is arriving this week and I will be checking for this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My copy is arriving this week and I will be checking for this. I've used the lens extensively for wildlife & haven't noticed the corner loss of sharpness in portrait orientation. It's not something that one would normally look for in a tele lens, especially in wildlife applications. I'm more concerned with central image sharpness. FWIW I'll try some test shots & report back if I pick up anything. It could also be something related to the Sony version & not the L mount version? Other than that the lens is excellent you wont be disappointed. Edited January 19, 2022 by michali 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virob Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share #190 Posted January 21, 2022 My lens arrived today and I was able to get out briefly for a few test shots before it got dark. To answer my own question, I wasn't able to see a difference in corner sharpness between landscape and portrait mode. I tried both portrait orientations and even tried landscape upside down. Looks fine to me. I also looked at centering and could only see mild decentering at 300mm vs 150 and 600. This was done on a tripod with OIS off and 1/500 sec. I dislike lens testing, but a few more controlled evaluations over the weekend to ease my mind and then hopefully I can relax and actually start enjoying it!

It was the S5 that sucked. Same experience for me as S1R, too many controls, too fiddly in the field, with inconsistent AF. I sold off the latter after 4 days, the former lasted a week before I got rid of it. Speaking of the lens, this morning I had my first outing with a new copy on the SL2-S: Welcome, dear visitor!

From what distance to subject are you taking these photos? Handheld with image stabilization, or tripod? Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. (My "duck" - which is only a cover for a pump system from the lake - is about 20-30 feet away, not moving, at about 600mm).

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Hi Rob, thank you! The parakeet was shot at maybe 12-15 feet IIRC. The very tiny tailorbird was shot from about 18-20 feet, cropped to the pixel level. And the bulbul was taken from about 25-30 feet with only the edges cropped. All of my images are shot hand-held, the above three using dual IS, which works really nicely with this combination. All is well here, thanks, as I hope it is in your slice of paradise!

Regards, Rob We're experiencing just a bit of insanity in our country at the moment! I'm hopeful about covid decline but still being cautious in everyday life. I'vm getting acquainted with the Sigma 150/600 as I'm hopeful that we'll be able to go on safari/S. Africa by the fall. (Alternative is to acquire the Leica 90-280 and use with a CL). We shall see, as corona virus has thrown a few curve balls. Otherwise, all good here. Glad to see your posts again. Always superb.

Exactly my experience as well with the S1R, too many buttons, superfluous functions & erratic AF. I'm so happy with what the the SL2 & SL2-S give me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
