Its difficult, depending on how fussy you are.
Not sure I'd agree with this yet. I think our testing is flawed on a few levels.
I'll detail it with samples when I have more time. But TL;DR - it's a good lens for portrait, action and landscapes but not so good if you want to shoot macro @f1.4
The lens seems to be rather well optimised for its intended purpose and my only issue with it is CA wide open.
My testing has been accurate, I repeated the test all day long comparing against the Samyang wide open at various distances and it showed up every time. Close, mid, far. Always the right side, its not difficult to test for.
ok, I don't have a samyang to compare against so I will make no comments on differences between the two.
I can only comment on my copy of zeiss and as I said I'll post more details when I get some more time
And as you guys prob know mine would of been nearly one of the first made.
You don't need a comparison TBH, you just look across the frame, the left is sharper than the right, its decentered.
The rumor site reports a Tamron apology because they can't fulfil 28-75mm preorders "right from the start."

I agreeHype machine
I'll carry your bags! lol
They'd at the same time sell one less because it'd be as huge as the GMThey would sell one more if they made a 24-70 instead of 28-75 :/

What I am trying to say is it's not possible to please everyone it's better that we atleast have two different options
lolA bit late maybe but here's an A9 review at Fstoppers...
https://fstoppers.com/gear/mirrorless-camera-rivals-pro-dslrs-fstoppers-reviews-sony-a9-247948
On the price they say...
"The camera itself is about $1,300 cheaper than a Canon 1D X II and $2,300 less than the Nikon D5. Whether they are on the same level or not is hard to say. The a9 is a very high performing camera with tons of features that pros will enjoy. It’s unclear if the weather sealing and longevity of the Sony is on par with its competitors, only time and user feedback will tell."
I don't understand how anyone can review a Sony camera (or lens) without saying it's overpriced compared to a mid range DVD player. These Fstoppers guys must be Sony fanboys.

But its still a BrickonWoah, the D5 is only £650 more here.
Woah, the D5 is only £650 more here.
I'm not in the market for these so I may have got something wrong but looking at Wex Photo and not bouncing around between grey and UK stock at different dealers...
Nikon D5 = £5,389
Sony A9 = £4,299
5389-4299=£1,090.
Just had a double check at Jessops and they're exactly the same price as Wex.
More than enough saving for a decent DVD player and probably a telly too.
I didn't see the discount code, just looked at the price in big red letters. So it's "only" £650 more today but when the offer ends on 31st May presumably the price goes back up until the next discount.
Try using Eye-AF on the Nikon D5... or black out free 20 fps shooting.... I'd take the DVD player every time lol
Try putting your A9 in some water
For indoor i'm reaching for the 16-35mm over the 35mm 1.4 - as you can shoot slower shutter speeds anyway due to the wider FL - but even with the 1.4 primes I was shooting 1/100th to keep ISO <1000
A good portion of the photos were actually in colour, but as I picked them I found that I picked B+W

Never knew Carl Froch can play guitar
I had to google him and yes, the guy on Bass?
Ditto...Same here, 377, no issues. So it's not serial related.
