About a year ago I compared one with a 55 f/1.4 Zeiss Otus. I bought the Zeiss.
I would expect that one of what is believed to be the best lenses ever in the Zeiss would beat the Sigma Art. That said, there is about a $3,000+ price difference. And of course the Zeiss is a purely manual lens. However, price is a consideration that most people have to take into account. I myself compared the Sigma Art 50mm to the Sony Zeiss 50mm 1.4 for my Sony a9. I looked at these two with a budget in mind. While i think the Sigma is a wonderful lens, i felt the Sony Zeiss was better. Great microcontrast, color, a bit better bokeh and that zeiss like certain something. These two lenses were both in my range of budget so I chose what I liked best. Now, i am lucky to be able to afford a budget that can have that $400 - $500 difference in affordability but i am not sure most everyone else has that ability. I certainly dont think if someone is looking at the Sigma that they have the ability to afford another $3,000+ for the Otus. If they did, they wouldnt even bother looking at the sigma.
Net, net, i think your comparison and decision is meaningless to the op and avg buyer unless they are lucky enough to have that kind of disposable income. I would say most don't have the same luxury as you.

I need a small backpack for traveling. No larger than 17x10x9 I need to carry a nikon d750 with 70x200, 24x70, charger and kindle fire. I'm having a hard time finding a small backpack. Thanks!đź“·
Take a look at the Think Tank Streetwalker V2. Measures 9.8 x 17.3 x 7.1. I have one and love it. Has a pocket for your tablet and should just fit what you are looking to carry. Can also strap a tripod to it. Very comfortable to wear.

The answer to your problem is quite simple. The lens is for APS-C cameras only! A simple google search will give you that answer. You bought such an incredibly expensive camera and you are somehow stuck on a lens that doesnt match it? I am sorry, but how did you get stuck on a lens like this one? Didnt you research it? You would find out right away it is not a match for your camera. Lastly why would you even think of putting this lens on such an incredibly powerful camera? You wont get the most out of this camera. Sorry, but i am just being straightforward and honest.

Yes, a lot of it is due to marketing and perception BUT there is a portion of it that could be due to better features and photos.

I’ve been very disappointed with my Nikon 1 and have been looking for a really good replacement. The new Nikon Z6 and Z7 have caught my eye. But they are terribly expensive. So I am wondering if they are worth the money or if there are other great mirrorless cameras I should look at? Your thoughts.
I know i sometimes i have limited patience but really??!! You have to ask this question here on the forum. There are sonys, fuji’s, etc that all have very good reviews. You know how I know?? Its called google. Plus the nikon you have, i believe has a 1” sensor and the nikons you mention are full framed so of course they are more expensive. I think you need to get the basics down first, do some research and then come back with way more refined questions. Otherwise, all you will get is a whole lot of different opinions with no basis that may apply to you.

I love my Sony a7iii. Being able to use the touchscreen to move the focus point while looking through the view finder is great. Would be nice for touchscreen to do more but do be it. The camera feels great in my hands and some really great lenses. The 24-105 f/4 is a magnificent lense. If you want a smaller package overall you can switch to the 35mm f/2.8. Also a very good lens. Overall i am very pleased with the camera.

Hi. I am going to buy the Sony a6300 soon. Anyone have this? How do u like it ? I did a lot of research on it and seems to be a good fit for me. Also, wondering is it ok to buy “ open box”? I found a reliable place that has a 45 day return if it does not work correctly. Thanks for any help or thoughts!

I guess I will be the naysayer here. I had the a6300 and the colors were visibly off. Tried everything in terms of white balance, etc and still was off. I returned it. That said, maybe I just had a bad one as most everyone raves about it. I did end up jumping in on the a7iii and could not be happier. Absolutely love the camera. No issues at all.

Let me try to make you feel better with the following:
- Oral surgery
- My mother passes
- Biopsy of my prostate
- Cancer diagnosis
- Hospitalized with sepsis
- Contract C-diff
All of the above in a 10 day span.
Could always be worse. I am sure others have had worse than I. Perspective.

Go with what you've got. It's a good lens. You are going to be far enough away that you will capture what you want with that lens.
Thank you for your reply. I think I will stick with the 24-105 then.

I am heading to Red Rock National Park this weekend. Looking forward to capturing some great landscape shots. I have the Sony a7iii and the widest lens I have is a sony 24-105mm. I would like to hear from the members of the forum if you think I should be considering purchasing a wide angle zoom or if you think i am covered well enough by the 24-105mm. Thanks.

There are no failures here. The old guard is finally recognizing the camera market has been morphing. They know alot of the diehard DSLR customers will stick with those cameras but there is a whole other market that is out there they can no longer avoid. Having the old guard jump in means competition and competition is good. They have both jumped in with some good offerings which will only get better over time and catch up with some of the features that exist in the products of the mirrorless market leaders. Lastly, lets not criticize products that we have not yet gotten our hands on. The reality is cameras are a personal type of thing. Its about the way it feels in your hands, the usability melding with the photographer’s style, etc.
