Sony FE 20-70mm F/4 G Lens Review
John Riley has been putting the Sony FE 20-70mm F/4 G zoom lens through its paces, and capturing sample photos, to see if it's a good pairing for the Sony A7R III. |
It would make a good landscape pair with the Tamron 70-300, which is said to perform well at f11. Together they’d cost about £1,700, which isn’t awful to get 20-300mm. If I want really wide for particular purposes, I’d just get a basic 14mm MF - who needs AF for that focal length.
I prefer having 105-300mm to having 14-20mm. As for 16-105mm - that just isn’t enough range over 2 lens, especially at a combined cost of £2,300 (for the f4s).

Is it really nearly a metre and a half long?

Sigma 10-18mm F/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens Review

HD Pentax-FA 35mm F/2 Lens Review
The HD Pentax-FA 35mm f/2 is a wide-angle prime lens that John Riley has been putting to the test, capturing sample photos and sharing his opinion on its performance. |
I have the original FA35/2 an although it is quite good lens, the main problem is that it has 6 aperture blades. Wide open the bokeh is pleasing. But once you start closing aperture to F2.8-F4 etc, you'll notice quite ugly hexagonal bokeh on any light sources in background. Second issue can be noticed once you use this lens for example on some concert with spotlights and various colored lights, this lens has significant purple fringing on such contrast borders.
