My Next Lens

My next lens will be the one

So, I have absolutely loved my Sigma 16mm lens. I have not loved that it is an APS-C lens which a crop sensor lens on a full frame camera body takes a lot of quality away.

I have this lens posted, if anyone reading this is interested I will attach a form below to email me about purchasing it and more information on it.

Anyways, I love 16mm, it’s great for doing interior of vehicles or when I am playing around with trying to do videos. I just wish that it was a full frame lens for the full quality.

A lens I have been obsessing over and I am determined to spend the $2,000+ on is the Sony 16mm-35mm f/2.8 GM II.

I have watched review after review on this lens, I have read article after article, look at so many sample photos it’s not even funny and I believe that when I do end up with this lens I might even retire (for the most part) my Sigma 50mm f/1.4.

So both my Sigma 50mm and Sigma 16mm are f/1.4, and I love that for the choice of using that low of an aperture, but I haven’t been using it that much. I don’t shoot nearly enough lowlight to need that, now I could get an ND and shoot that low for video but I don’t see myself needing to.

I stick mostly anywhere from f/2.0-f/4.0 and the sweet spot most of the time is f/2.8, so having my lowest 2.8 won’t be much of a challenge. I did have a f/4.0 lens at one point that I never had an issue with that high of an aperture so I think I will be fine, plus I will have my 50mm on a shelf or in my camera bag if I ever have a situation where I need the lower number.

I think it will be great once I have it, and will change a lot of how I shoot on a daily basis. I want to shoot more vehicles because I can do that if I just see a cool car and leave some prints and a business card and have a better chance of someone hiring me for car photos than being even more of a creep and photoing a human without asking. Having a full frame 16mm-35mm will be so amazing for interior shots while still being amazing for capturing the outside.

I don’t know why I am writing this other than something for me to come back and read a month from now and see where I am at on achieving this goal of owning this lens.
