This WA really looks good and the new 50mm F2  has that fantastic separation (pop) that is becoming more important than bokeh for me.

I recently got one of these. I like to use ultrawide but only occassionally so I wanted something super light. I got it for architecture/cityscape, also to have some extra room for perspective correction. SL2-S with Sigma 17mm, Helsinki University Library (these have been cropped a little for better composition)

I applied perspective correction here in Lightroom

And pretty decent results shooting the stars and northern lights, even if it is only f/4. This was on a trip to Lapland - I shoot astro pretty rarely so did not want to buy a huge prime that I would only use once or twice a year. Plus my 24-90mm gives me f/2.8, has super quality for astro and gets used for weather-proof winter landscapes for the rest of the trip.

15 secs, f/4, ISO 6400

+1 - can't agree more. SL24-90 @24mm, wide open, is very, very good for astro photography, although the lens may not be recognised accordingly. Among the best I have tested.

Does anyone have examples of this lens shot on a CL or in APS-C mode?

Thanks

[hoolyproductions]

No but I'll keep it in mind (APS-C mode on my SL2-S). Or you could just crop the pictures above 😀

I recall that Christopher Frost (youtube) did a review of the lens on Sony cameras and investigated sharpness/resolution with both full frame and APS-C - it's one of the reasons I bought the lens.
