The Best Lenses – In My Experience
Last updated 2/10/24 What lens is best? I get asked this all the time, and there’s never really a right answer. “Best for what?” is what I usually reply, as the answer will depend on what the photographer wants to accomplish, what their budget is and what is important to them. Everyone will have a…

Review: Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 DG DN Art
Sigma has slowly morphed over the past several decades from a budget lens maker into one of the premier lens makers in the industry. Their Art series lenses have continually raised the bar for high quality, yet reasonably priced lenses, and their first few mirrorless-specific entries have also been outstanding. Today I’m looking at one…

Review: Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art (Sony E-Mount)
The 35mm landscape for the Sony E-Mount has a wide array of options to choose from, and it’s become even more crowded with the recent announcements of Sony’s long-awaited FE 35mm f/1.8, and Sigma’s brand-new ultra-fast 35mm f/1.2 FE, not to mention Tamron’s new 35mm f/2.8. However, at the fast f/1.4 aperture, there are three…

Review: Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary (Sony E-Mount)
Sigma has had two distinct strategies when it comes to mirrorless lenses. On the full-frame side, they simply ported their DSLR lenses to Sony E-Mount (and later the L-mount) by basically building in their mount adapter logic into the lens and extending a tube to make up the flange distance, though this is beginning to…

Review: Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art (Sony E Mount)
Sigma has recently jumped into the full-frame E-Mount system by creating new native E-Mount versions of many of their very well received Art series lenses. Today I’m looking at one of those well regarded lenses, the Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG Art for Sony E-Mount. The Sigma 135mm f/1.8 is a monster of a lens, with…

Review: Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM (Canon EF Mount) + MC-11
I don’t generally do reviews of Canon EF lenses, as I’ve been shooting mirrorless exclusively for the past 7 years. However, with the availability of EF to E-mount adapters, and the Sony system still being a little thin in some areas, there are Canon mount lenses that may potentially be great alternatives for use on…

Review: Sigma 19mm f/2.8 EX DN
Sigma has been around for over 50 years, and they’ve been primarily known as a third-party manufacturer of SLR lenses, though they’ve also made their own SLR cameras and some high end compact cameras as well. Over the past decade, they’ve started to make some very high-end glass. Recently, they dipped their toes into the…

First Impressions: Sigma 19mm f/2.8 EX DN
Sigma has been around for a long while, making their own lenses and cameras for the Sigma SA mount, as well as an array of high end compact cameras. They also are one of the major third party lens manufacturers for most DSLR camera mounts. However, they’ve just recently gotten into the mirrorless game with…
