:lol: Wide open at f2?

 

The "like this foliage" image is nice, and shows how it can make rather nice blurry bits under circumstances... A nice lens indeed.

 

Question, what kind of aperture did you use for that focus stack?




Sigma 14/1.8 - why I like fast ultrawides - JJ_SO - 10-18-2017

f/2.5

 

I know, stupid - f/4 or f/5.6 would have been better in terms of less images and max resolution. But it was late in the evening, the light already dim, no tripod at hand and I didn't want to lift ISO massively. It was no prepared idea, just a spontaneous "let's see how this toy works"-concept.

 

Wide open for an 14 mm, wider is only f/1.8  Wink

Interesting stuff. Yes, fast ultrawides are interesting.

The predecessor was already no slouch in this, it focused down to 18 cm (!) - even though it was probably nowhere near as sharp. This lens, however, looks like it's on another level entirely.
