anybody used the Sigma 30mm 1.4 e mount on a A6000,if so would you say its a good buy or should I be looking at something else.
so far considered this and the Sony 35mm 1.8
thanks
@twist did you sell your d750?
Yea mate, not worth me running 2 expensive systems at the moment.
@stevelmx5 - looks like you are from Wirral. I went to school there

yes I forgot I had seen the Zeiss also, so I had more or less discounted the 35mm Sony so its between these 2 then hmmmI know a lot people recommend 35mm/1.8 but IMO it's not worth the hype or money. Makes me think they haven't used this lens at all.
Sigma 30mm/1.4 on the other hand is a beauty. The Zeiss tuoit 32mm/1.8 is very nice too.
Hmmm.... I must be having one of those bash Sony days
Don't worry guys no matter how much i bash Sony I will always dislike Fuji more
Why? Nikon has shown that you won't on there full frame line
Wow that really was a leap of faith
And your limbs are still intact?It was!!

well ive decided to try Sony, a bit nervous given past problems with the company's aftersales.
a7r11 arrived a couple of days ago. undecided as of yet what i think. need to use it a bit 1st, but ergonomics are not as good as dslr but it is smaller, the layout will take a bit of getting used to but this just comes down to muscle memory really. watch this space.....
well i had a oly m 4/3 before so used to crap/over complex menus !and you must be loving the menu
Kind of, AF is missing some usual shots, it struggles with subjects approaching the camera which is annoying, I'll remain positive for now.

Doing much portraiture at 16mm?
really! there shocking give me canon's any dayactually I quite like Oly menus. Panasonic I haven't used much.

Fact = Something for which proof exists.How is the feedback of an actual photographer who makes their living taking actual photographs in the actual real world not a fact?
It is not, unless it is talk of numbers that are facts and measurements, which have hopefully been proved and are repeatable by anyone.I understand that a graph/chart will give finite detail at all levels but surely photography isn't all about cold numbers?
I used the 35mm 1.8 on my A6000 and it's a gem, a real bargain second hand £200ish. Image stabilisation too.anybody used the Sigma 30mm 1.4 e mount on a A6000,if so would you say its a good buy or should I be looking at something else.

Fact = Something for which proof exists.
Someone's opinion is just that, someone else may have a different opinion. And opinions may not be unbiased, as the person having the opinion may emotionally and financially invested in whatever they have an opinion about. People are less likely to admit to large financial mistakes or problems with what they have spent their money on. If someone knows someone whose opinion they value, then it may mean more to someone than facts. It doesn't make the facts any less true, just to that individual they are not as important that first hand experience of someone they trust and respect.
Most people may not have someone in that situation, and so have to rely on testing, measuring and comparisons, hopefully unbiased reviews, and random internet users experiences, taking into account they their experiences may not be 100% unbiased.

Ok, now I'm really confused...
Fact = Something for which proof exists
My friend stating that he found the files out of the A7 to be much better than the D600 (in his eyes) is fact because it was one person's opinion so is therefore proven? I never mentioned that a graph on a random website stated that the DR for the A7 was 0.3 worse than the D600 (on a chart because it's not noticeable to the eye).
Anyway, my point was that someone found the output from the A7 nicer, and to him, had better dynamic range.
If it's 3k in the UK brand new not export. Why would anyone get a 5d4!
Just because Donald Trump says he has more people attending his inauguration is his opinion. It is not a Fact. A photo proves otherwise.
For your friend to "prove" that the A7 has better DR he needs to do better than "IMO" or in this case, in his opinion. He needs to test both cameras side by side, same photo, same time, same conditions, then compare.
Shooting weddings with his Nikon and then shoot a different wedding with another camera later in a different day, in different lighting, different everything, environment etc, that is not really a test.
As per my original post, he had the D600 and A7 alongside each other in the same studio, shooting the same models, with the same lighting. It really doesn't matter, but there seems to be even more argumentative posts on this thread than usual!
At the end of the day, a photographer has decided that they like the Sony A7 files more that the D600 files. No more, no less, regardless of what a DxO score or any other excel line graph states :0)
Now, let's get back to discussing photography.
If it's 3k in the UK brand new not export. Why would anyone get a 5d4!
...test these things with charts, controlled measures, limited variables, charts and measuring equipment.
That is a difference here.
Yes, the difference between a real-world use case in a photographic environment (as I'd imagine the majority of users would use a camera) and a closed/controlled operating theatre environment.
I fully understand that the likes of DxO will report on actual technical abilities of sensors but as photographers, there surely has to be some precedence given to real world utilisation otherwise we would be forever chasing the impossible result.
I know it's grey no mean if it's 3k UK priceIf you mean it's not a (grey) import, you're wrong. Panamoz are a grey importer although they offer a good warranty and have good feedback.
Stop quoting the term "real world" use like it is the end of the argument, real world use means something that has many variables. The fact that you said real world use it actually throws the argument off track.
DxO reports a lab test shows, the end user us how he uses it and how in interprets it. What he finds might not agree with the test, what do you get? you get 1 man's opinion vs test results. So what does that mean?
It means 1 man's opinion vs test results. That's it. If you can get me 10 other people who come away with the same "feeling" then you might get more weight to the argument, but 1 guy is just hearsay.
Without seeing the images, and I can only take your word (a random on the internet ) on it from your friend (a random of another random)….pardon my scepticism.
You see where I am coming from right?
