Description of Sigma 60Mm F2 8 Silver Micro
Minimum focusing distance of 50CM. Maximum Focusing magnification ratio of 1:7.2. Excellent for taking shots with a pinpoint focus on a subject. Fast and large apertures lens for mirror less camera systems. Choice of silver or black finish.
Pros
- Sharpness at 2.8, interesting color reproduction, lack of stabilization (I will describe below), fast autofocus (on a6000), PRICE! Took for 7990.
Cons
- Crackling, non-parking autofocus mechanism after turning off, easily soiled body, lack of eye af support (focusing on the eyes). But these are trifles!
Pros
- - excellent sharpness across the field, starting from f2.8. At 3.5-4, it is generally impeccable from edge to edge. Further - only to spoil. Those who like pixel-by-pixel sharpness - this is your option. Stock photography, landscape, subject. very good for a studio - with NEX-6 or a3000/a3500, perhaps the best kit for a leisurely studio for ridiculous money. None of the clients will ever see the difference with A7 + 85 / 1.8. Only autofocus is inferior, of course. With a6000 and above, it’s already generally fire in PM both in autofocus and in a 24mp matrix, which the lens “resolves” with ease, I think the new 30mp sonicrop will also calmly pull. - a very pleasant contrast, I don’t know how to explain and what to connect with, but it is this series (30 / 2.8 and 60 / 2.8) that has a very pleasant picture in terms of contrast and volume (almost like on ff)) - low level of aberrations, distortions, vignetting, even in open mode. Slightly cover up and generally ideal. - resale price in 2022 I took it for 7500, I think this is adequate, because for 12-13 you can already buy SEL5018OSS - there are advantages and disadvantages, but still it is faster and with a stub. - the lens hood is small, just such that it would slightly protect the lens from contact with the bag, so you can wear it without a cover. (for example, I sawed off the Sony hood, because there was still no sense from it, but it took up space in the bag). the standard 16-50 also fits into the lens hood, so you can wear one in the other (it also doesn’t reach the lens). - design. Everyone hates its sleekness, but in my opinion it's a great minimalistic design. attaching a corrugated elastic band is not a problem at all, who needs it. - bokeh. Good unobtrusive Sigma bokeh. Not artistic, like a helios, but completely adequate and usable, in a minute it is blurred in Photoshop to "type 1,8" or "type 1,4" :) You need to understand that on a 60mm bokeh it's still much more noticeable, with the same aperture than 30mm or 16mm. - size and weight are fully consistent with the concept of mirrorless.
Cons
- - missing MF / AF switch on the body - something dangles inside when it is not connected - it does not affect anything, but it scares - takes a little cold tone - the filter thread is not very running (46) I ordered an adapter for Ali - I put a magnifying glass filter to reduce the MDF and get "almost a macro". The margin of sharpness of the lens is such that the lens does not spoil it very much. But you still need to order macro rings, I think, due to sharpness, you should get an excellent macro lens. True, how he will show himself at f10-16 - xs. I will add later))
Pros
- 1. Razor sharpness. One of the sharpest glasses for the Sony E mount (on crop) and certainly the sharpest for the money. 2. No complaints about the quality of the picture - XA, distortion, vignette - all this is within the limits of practical invisibility on real frames. The glass is absolutely and unconditionally working from the open. 3. Nice price, especially in comparison with glasses from Sony. With the onset of the crisis in 2022 retail, it is cheaper than in foreign online stores. 4. Modest weight and size characteristics. 5. Comes with case and lens hood.
Cons
- 1. Poor resistance to backlight - the picture loses contrast a lot. The native hood is short and does not always cope with its duties. 2. Thread for filters 46 mm. - not the most popular value. Use 49mm filters. uncomfortable because of the hood. 3. "Clunking" in the off state - it interferes not by itself, but with the understanding that the lens elements are not "parked" and beat each other with strong shaking. I don't know how damaging this is. 4. A completely smooth focus ring (but wide, with a smooth ride and is not blocked by a hood in the "traveling" position). Subjective: 5. Relatively hard bokeh.
Pros
- 1) Phenomenal, wildest, screaming animal sharpness and resolution! THE MOST SHARP FIX EVER! for this system. Only the latest 65mm DN E is better than it It even rings at 2.8 - the subsidence of the very corners is barely noticeable and is not noticeable at all when resizing the photo. Resolution starts to drop slightly only after F16. Complete absence of chromatosis and other aberrations 2) Absolutely zero distortion over the entire field - nothing needs to be corrected at all. Ideal glass for panoramas, art reproductions, film photos without a scanner, all possible flat textures, etc. 3) A ridiculous price in the secondary market - for 8-10 thousand you get a lens that cruelly buries, digs in, tears like a heating pad, all expensive zooms combined for Sony E, any Chinese products including sharp and good lenses. Any soviet poltos on the F11 also go through the forest. Any Zenitars and Khrenotars there too 4) Very small, light. An excellent trunk in the kit, to which the lens fits with a hood put on in a combat position - it is not necessary to remove it 5) Accurate correct color reproduction and excellent contrast
Cons
- 1) Doubtful survivability - requires careful handling and storage, easily soiled and scratched body. Especially easily soiled in black - buy a good special case. fotik-lens selected for this bundle 2) The absence of any pronounced pattern, this lens is not creative (in the traditional sense of the word). The optical scheme is sharpened for impeccable technical quality and sharpness at all apertures across the entire field of the frame. For the same reason, the lens is relatively small aperture for its focal length. For many photo maniacs, it may seem boring 3) Sometimes it catches small glare against the sun 4) Large MDF - limited fit for small items
Pros
- Sharp in the center with open Aperture Probably the price, although I'm not sure for this quality of manufacture
Cons
- Very flimsy, won't last long Quality corresponds to the price, a lot of marriage
