Why keep the prime then?
I’ve found it’s not that good on fast moving animals on the A7r3. If they are moving slowly or static it works quite well. I made a video using it on a static squirrel but moving the camera around. I was going to put it up as part of a blog, it can be seen in the link below:Interested to see how well the animal eye af works on moving subjects. I thought there’d be some videos up on YouTube by now but haven’t found any.
I bought the Sigma 24mm 1.4 Art for my wife, I had a preconception this lens wasn't great - boy how wrong was I. Was scouting a few locations yesterday for an upcoming city shoot and was taking random photos in the town with it and was seriously surprised at how great it performed. At least as good as the 35mm imo and it isn't nearly as big as I thought it would be. Obviously these images are probably TP potato'ised but theyre razor sharp!

24mm is supposedly one of the harder focal length's to design. Probably the reason 24 ART is the "worst" of the ART series primes which are excellent to outstanding for most part.

The A7RIV has just dropped in price on e-infin too £2799, that was quick.

Do I need a special Sigma adapter to change the 35mm 1.4 firmware?
I was hoping that Tamron 35mm f/1.4 was going to be one of the rumoured FE Tamron primes instead of those f/2.8 lenses that seem to be coming.
regardless I would not spend that much money with e-infin and lose sleep over it.
Yeah I am with you on that, I would be reluctant to spend that much with them on one transaction.
I've had one item from their eBay shop be delayed recently - seems they had an issue processing orders on a couple of days. However they have then resolved and the replacement arrived within about 4 days of them sending (or at least it's awaiting my collection from post office as I was out when they delivered it)Has people been having bother with them? I've bought loads from them over the years and not had any issues!

I have two A7RIV bodies on order with Wilkinson Cameras. Dithered on the preorder and had to wait. I haven’t waited that long, it just seems like it.
Should get the first next week.
I still have the A7RIII you sold me. Let me know when you sell the A7RIV

I don’t think it’s such a bad lens either, I just don’t use mine much at all.
Thats because certain people slag it off without even using it. Great lens ime.
Yeah man, when I loaded up the files yesterday I was really happy with what I seen. A friend of mine that was out with me yesterday using it just bought one too for himself. I agree with you and sadly I thought it wasn't good myself based on what I was reading about it.
That will be quite a line up and will cover everything you could ever do.Still shy a few lenses, I have:
24 f1.4
35 f2.8
85 f1.4
135 f1.8
24-70 f2.8
70-200 f2.8
200-600 f5.6-6.3 (on order)
Missing the 90 Macro and 16-35 2.8 GM.
I was really impressed with it dude. For the money I think it's a bargain
That looks very much like you previous line upI think pretty much everyone on TP must have at least one piece of kit I’ve sold...
I was slowly rebuilding after selling it all off but I decided to just rip off the band aid and bulk buy.

Almost there.

I need to test it more as I don’t think I really got to understand the best way of using it. It’s knowing how to set it up and be able to flip between eye af and your normal af mode (I mostly use single point so it’s difficult getting eye af to work-I don’t really understand how best to use and implement it).
