Yeah, I didn't love the 1.4. The f2 is one of the sharpest lenses I have ever used, though. Even wide open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkor Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 The 50f2 pre-ai can be had for 10€, I got mine for that, gave it to a friend, want it back mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar_kevin Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Hey guys, I have been absolutely loving the 16-50 S. Went to a wedding on Friday and grabbed some casual shots with it. Really loving the handling so far. The combo did have some struggles in low light at the reception, but still got some shots that I was able to give them. I recorded a bit of the ceremony and am really impressed with the combination of DIS and lens OIS. Really can't say enough about the lens. I have the 50-150 on order now and am looking forward to getting it. Here's my favorite shot TheRenaissanceMan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkor Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 If you really dig classic nikkors, get the 5.8cm 1.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What camera did you shoot that with? If you already have the Nikkor 35mm f2, then why are you even looking for another lens in this range... Get some more Nikkors... How about the 50mm 1.2 or 85mm f2... Or the 20mm f2.8? There are so many great Nikkor lenses that you should be concentrating on building a nice set of those... IMO. I like to sell my Nikkor 50 1.2 since I got OM 50 1.2. I also have OM 551.2, very sharp at 1.2 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronChicago Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I just picked up a Nikkor 28mm f2.8 Ai on ebay. Planning on shooting a music video with that lens only. Playing around with V Log. Screen grab of my little boy. EDIT: The green tint was intentional. I used a Fuji Cineon LUT with tint pushed slightly to green. mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar_kevin Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 So this is a bit of a bummer, but can't say I'm surprised. Samsungparts site has canceled my order for the 50-150 S saying it's no longer available. The status of the lens has been a backorder situation, but it appears now there will be no new shipment of these lenses to them coming so they canceled/refunded my order. They still have some other lenses in stock and I received my 16-50 from them no problem, but this appears to have bigger implications about supply and stock going forward. I still plan on buying a 50-150 somehow/sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagnje Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Does anyone have the sigma super wide II...24mm. How would that intercut with nikkor primes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would that intercut with nikkor primes? its a nice lens very low contrast compared to the nikons , very grey blacks very little contrast ,not as sharp as the Nikons , but still a usable lens if you cut it with other low contrast lenses like the Tokina ATX and ATX PRO range of zooms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagnje Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 nice to know, as I happen to have the 28-70 atx thank you. Is there also a ~20mm lens that would go with the atx and sigma that you know of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy lee Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 vivitar / cosina make a 19-35 zoom that is rectilinear jagnje 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Has anyone used the Sigma 28mm 1.8 lens? There appears to be 3 different versions, unsure if they're the same or not, mechanically and optically. They all have aperture rings, which is good. I have seen a few videos and it seems to be a decent performer but I'd love to hear some first hand experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Maze Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 CONTAX Zeiss lenses pair really well with the Sony sensor. Sharp but soft roll offs. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy an entire kit for less than one or two modern lenses and they look way better IMO. I need to buy a super wide and a telephoto and I'll be golden.

Cinegain Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I figured the cat would've been the princess. They're usually such divas. They're equally cute though. And... true! I was thinking about these or Leica R. But it seemed although the Leicas are gorgeous, sure, they perhaps just have a bit more of a specific look, whereas it appeared the Contax Zeiss ones would have a bit generic look to 'em (which is not a bad thing). And you're right on! They're reasonably affordable and yet so up there in quality. It's like they are on that line of realism and really have that 3D pop <insert laugh-tape - reference joke>. But seriously though, they do have something special about 'em. There are some good reads and recommendations out there regarding these. Even in comparison with the big boy Zeiss optics. Of course it too helps that andy lee stands behind them! I guess the 21mm would be the one to get on the wide end, but I think it roughly sells for more than the ones in the other ranges combined. Ouch. Nah, in that case I'm good with 25mm being the widest I guess (wishlist). And focal reducing is still a thing if you're commited to small sensor cameras. kidzrevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
