    Hi Roman, loving these travel series videos, especially Lisbon as it’s a place I’ve wanted to visit for some time. My problem is the cost of my Medical Travel Insurance has gone crazy, they are asking between £400 and £700, just for 7 nights in Tenerife, so we’ve bought a tent and will visit a few places over here this year, got a couple of nights near Ingleton Falls next Friday and 3 nights booked up near York in July, hoping for a week away in August but not sure yet, looking at Scotland, Cornwall or South Wales, Pembrokeshire area.
    Hopefully I’ll get to Lisbon next year, maybe even later this year, just have to check the cost of insurance for 3-4 nights.

    Cool lens, smooth vid, Curtis! Spanish villa, eh? Nice! Is the lens display screen clearly visible in daylight? Don’t underestimate the custom fixed focus buttons - sounds like snap focus on Ricoh. For fast moving street photography you might want to set one focus point for nearby subjects, another for subjects further out - if that makes sense. When using those focus button “modes”, what focus mode is set in camera (e.g., manual)? Do the chosen distances appear in the EXIF data? Would be interesting to compare the lens focus distance shown in the lens display against what the camera manual focus data registers.
    Bring back any good Spanish wine? Cheers!

    Planning to get this lens for my sony fx30 in the future since I only have 2 lenses. One is the Samyang 12MM F2 and Samyang 24MM T1.9 giving me focal range of 18MM and 35MM equivalent respectively. Great video BTW. New subscriber here from India!!

      hey bro, i have a 16mm f1.4 sigma its for a APSC sensor camera! id highly recommend that for you, in the used market you could probably get one for $200 usd instead of purchasing this one for the $540 usd price

    I also own this lens now. Not my best lens as I own the 85mm 1.4 GM, the 35mm 1.4 Sigma Art and the 24-70 2.8 but as you can see it was somehow needed to have something wider. I'm gonna use it for film and photography.

  • @OfficialKLA

    This lens looks great, I was previously looking on getting the sigma 16mm f1.4. Would this be worth the step up in price?

    • @thegeneral123
      @thegeneral123 Před rokem

      The Sigma lens (I assume you mean the new 14mm?) is a better lens. No question. I was considering it but it's big and pretty heavy, nearly 1.2kg and can't take standard lens filters.
      If you have the money and don't mind those issues it's the one to go for.
      In the end as I use my A7IV for travel photography, I ordered the Viltrox. It's a lot cheaper, it's less than half the weight. It takes standard filters so I can put a 77mm Sigma WR UV filter on to protect and use my larger ND/CPL filter on it. It's very sharp from the reviews and while I've been dubious about Viltrox as a brand in the past. I'm going to give this a go.
      I've been considering an ultrawide for my A7IV for over a year and I'd narrowed it down to the Tamron 17-28 F2.8, Sigma 14-24 F2.8 then the Sigma 14mm F1.4 and the Viltrox F1.8 came out. It was finally time to buy so I have an ultrawide for my next NYC trip.
