Yannick Willox Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 With any 15 mm at f/5.6, focus on 3m, you are sharp between 1.45 m and infinity. With any 12 mm at f/3.5 as well.

Also the filter thread is smaller so NDs are cheaper But Tokina can zoom in and for someone who only carries one lens when vlogging I really like having the ability to get a closeup. Still, often I'm thinking about going back That's nice to hear and just reinforces my decision to invest in one. After I played with the Sigma 18-35mm 1.8 for a while I realised that there's a limit to how much weight I want to hand-hold. I know I miss a few shots by having primes in my bag, but if the camera is in my bag because it's too heavy or I end up with RSI in my wrists then I miss all the shots, so I take some over none Everyone can keep their heavy lenses and I'll have a few nice primes!
