      @visceraljourney Год назад +2

      Add 10% crop with active stab and to completly get rid of vignetting you will need to crop 5-6% more in post. Pretty pretty good I would say, for a 290$ 273 gramm lens. You will get around 18.5mm f2.1 after all the cropping.

    Another proof, that these chinese lenses aren't as bad as some years ago. Looks to me like the first good lenses from Tamron and Sigma, 10 years ago. With the SP line of Tamron and the A, S and C lines of sigma. I am curious to see whats coming in the next few years :).

      The Sigma 16 1.4 may be bigger, however being careful how much, in fact very little, camera equipment I take when travelling, has not seen space to be an issue. I prefer wider shots when travelling, so it's the Sigma 16 and the 18-104 purchased when I bought my a6000- very little lenses available then and still does all I need.
