This lens features 14 elements in 10 groups including 3 high-refractive and extra low dispersion lenses (HR ED), 1 hybrid aspherical lens (H-ASP) and 1 glass aspherical lens (ASP). I also have Sigma’s 35mm ART, and that’s the kind of lens I bring along when I know I’ll shoot low light. I recently rented the Sony 16-35mm GM to try and work out if it could replace the Batis 18mm and Sony 35mm F1.

zoom lens (in my opinion, corners are far better than the 16-70 Sony Zeiss that always gets mixed results) to be complimented with one or more of the prime lenses above. In my opinion, they’re almost as good in image quality overall with a much more rugged build and autofocus.Because of the crop factor, kit lenses for APS-C format cameras (like Canon EF-S and Nikon DX) have shorter focal lengths, to get the same field of view.

You didn't personalize everything, please check the preview and replace the placeholders (or do you like them? I think this practical aspect is part of the ownership when it comes to cameras, lenses, tripods, filters, etc. The unusually robust specification of the lineup allows the user to concentrate on shooting while significantly reducing the burden of maintenance.I will probably eventually acquire the remaining two Batis lenses at some point to complete the set. The weight is ok ( much lighter than 16-35 ZA + laowa 15 or gm 24), but the volume is the challenge – I would need a quite large camera bag to accommodate this one, also the size/weight is enough that it turns handheld shooting into a somewhat muscular exercise over time. Some of you cannot sleep well when they haven’t covered every focal length gaplessly, in that case you pretty much have to resort to zoom lenses. Noways my budget is a bit bigger and I value the better flare resistance and more comfortable handling of native lenses.

If I expect to take relatively formal indoor portraits I’ll take Batis 85mm, but more often I’l take Batis 135. However, there is something I have always wondering about even though I have been a photographer or actually take photos for some years now: there are zoom lenses that have a constant max. Reduction of Light Output Angle: The High Intensity Lens focuses light output, increasing intensity in a smaller area and reducing light spillage in some applications. I found no other WA- or UWA-lens that worked with an extension tube or with the VM-E-close-focus-helicoid-adapter.Learn how to use your DSLR camera, learn how to control your lens, and learn how to take the best photos you can with the gear you have. Some people can spend a near infinite amount of time figuring out what focal length gapping works best for them. My focus is on landscape photography so good sharpness across the frame stopped down and good flare resistance are important criteria for me. The macro lens unscrews from the back of the wide angle lens and will magnify your subject 15 times.
