Interesting. I really like my 85mm f1.8 so don’t think I’ll be swapping it for the Sammy anytime soon.I am also very tempted by this. Might put my FE85/1.8 for sale.

I don't see the point in it. No reliability issues with the Sony as far as I know. Great little fast lens.
100% agree, there's no way I would swap my Sony 85 for that.

You guys are missing the main issue here - GAS
I can smell it from here.
Says I, unboxing an a7r3
You swapped yours for a even more ridiculous ART85. What do you know

Clearly a lot more than you buying all those decentered lenses. Sucker for punishment?
Going by my recent experience sigma is no better
Or your testing methods arent great

There's an Olympus Zuiko 40mm f2 here for £539.

This guy may be partly responsible for the lens going from being a flop to a big high price hit.

Interesting, thanks for the links; during the years I used the OM system this "natural view/reporters lens" was the one lens I really wanted to try and would have bought, yet never once saw it advertised for sale second hand.
He needs his facial hair trimming.
Took the 100-400mm out when walking the dog this morning and was surprised that there was some lens creep, even with the zoom ring on "tight" setting, is this normal? It's not horrendous, maybe crept about 1/4 or so of the zoom before I'd put it back and then it would do the same, but I'm surprised there's any creep on a lens costing over £2k.
Were you using a sling strap? Mine's on a peak design slide with on attachment on left camera lug and the other on the tripod plate so the lens hangs straight down, was yours the same/similar?Mine didn't have any zoom creep when set to tight from what I remember.
Similar yes. I have got the original first version of the slide.Were you using a sling strap? Mine's on a peak design slide with on attachment on left camera lug and the other on the tripod plate so the lens hangs straight down, was yours the same/similar?

So I have been through 2 copies of samyang 18mm f2.8 and 2 copies of sigma 14-24mm, all decentered.
What should I try next? lol
I'd like f2.8 or faster ideally otherwise would have got Sony 12-24mm.
May be I should just give up on UWA lenses.
Not as wide but I can’t really fault my Tamron 17-28 f/2.8.
I hear/read it isn't great at 28mm.
Reason for going with sigma was it was supposedly good throughout focal ranges.
Really like the second tighter one.

But that doesn’t even have 28mm
