dear phillip,i would like to ask what do you think about the Minolta AF 35-70 /4 (1985-ish) in comparison with the MD 35-70. You can find more images in this flickr set: Minolta MD 35-70mm 1:3.5 full resolution samples. You can find some more samples in this flickr set: Minolta MD 3.5/35-70. Contrast is good. It takes 72mm filters and is equipped with 10 straight blades for well defined sunstars! The short answer: No. It will be available for Canon RF, Sony E, Nikon Z and Fuji X mounts. Pas de risque de passez de F22 à la position A car il faut exercer une force supérieure pour passer en mode A. Pas de commutateur pour la rendre sans clics pour la vidéo Sigma 85mm F1.4 DG DN Art : dommage, La bague de mise au point n’est pas très large mais suffisamment pour une bonne préhension, elle est précise lors d’une mise au point manuelle, L’optique est fournie avec 2 capuchons d’objectifs : un standard et un magnétique que je passerai en revue au chapitre suivant, Sigma innovate with the new I series by proposing in addition to the standard lens cap, a magnetic lens cap: all in metal nicely finished and really sticking very well to the lens, They also propose a lens cap holder (CH-11) that will be available early 2021, The magnetic cap is easy to use on day to day and more convenient than the standard one that you need to pinch to put or remove from the lens but with one big caveat : when the lens hood is on it is virtually impossible to remove the magnetic cap as it stick so well and you do not have space for your fingers in the lens hood to access the side of the cap to remove it. Le flou d’arrière plan est également très doux pour les photos rapprochées (distance min de mise au point très courte <11cm), Ce n’est clairement pas l’optique pour un amateur qui lui préférera sans doute le Tamron 24mm F2.8 (450 euros) qui offre un piqué plus consistant dès la pleine ouverture et un peu plus de possibilité artistiques grâce son ouverture de F2.8, mais on a pas du tout la même qualité de fabrication ni la même ergonomie. sergr. https://flic.kr/s/aHsku4Ezdf. And I already delete the text original from your blog, and replace the post into only some brief introduction and the specifications. I just got my Minolta MD 35-70mm macro zoom and it’s everything you said and more! Could you tell me the best adapter to use with both of these lens? Even after correcting the distortion for tamron, it still turned out to be closer to 21mm than to 24mm. Based on my subjective assessment of the Sony 50mm 1.4 on the A7r ii, I see a loss in centre sharpness at f4, with deconvolution sharpening, then at f5.6. Hello, Some wide angle lenses have noticeable field curvature that is a problem with a flat object like a building, but not so much for landscape. But please ask me next time before you even translate an article. So globally the build quality is higher than the Sigma Art serie or Sony GM , they feel like Zeiss Legacy lenses or Voigtländer APO Lanthar lenses, The lens is equipped with a click only aperture ring that can also be switched to A= Auto mode to be controlled by the body. I recently purchased this lens. Hi, how do this lens compare with full frame kit lens Sony 28-70mm, f/3.5-5.6 OSS in terms of Sharpness, CA, Contrast etc? It is quite high an Jannik’s priority list and I would expect a review in Q1/2017. To learn about manual lenses in general this beginners guide for a7 users might be helpful. Hi Phillip, long time reader of your website. I have it mounted on a Sony NEX-6. The Minolta MD 35-70mm 1:3.5 is a versatile lens, because it performs so well it can replace 2 or 3 primes and make your bag much lighter. I think that is rude. For build quality however, the MD I version is superior. I’ve been looking at this lens and the Minolta MD 28-85 3.5-4.5. Good review. , can you advise on this please. I like to use it for city walks and short trips into nature. Thank you for the answer.My ideea is to test and to learn to use a few manual cheap and good old lenses on my Sony A6000 camera before to switch to a A7II(and keep the manual lenses) in the future. I was just reading another forum discussing this lens in 2014 and saw many of your beautiful flowers taken in macro mode with NEX 6. Do you have a link or thoughts about a Lens profile in Photoshop for the Minolta gem. Good review sir, I own this lens too and use it with Sony A7, the one with macro mode. Lateral chromatic aberrations are moderately well controlled at 35mm, well ontrolled at 50mm and more or less not visible at 70mm. I am a phd student and also a huge fan of manual lenses. The series includes already 4 lenses. It offers very reliable performance , excellent ergonomics in a very compact size and is very discrete if you work in a unsafe place, with very good results straight out of the camera and very good soft background blur for close shots (min focusing distance <11cm), It is not a lens for the casual shooter that will prefer the Tamron 24mm F2.8 (450 euros) that offer a better aperture and better sharpness on 61Mpix and a bit more creative possibility thanks to it F2.8 aperture but with not at all the same build quality and ergonomics, Le Sigma 24mm F3.5 DG DN Contemporary (530 Euros) est une optique destiné au reportage dans les conditions difficiles. Your email address will not be published. After seeing your shots with the same lens on the A7, I’m very excited to try this out. -Sigma 19mm f/2.8 dn art – commons landscapes not very wide The MD III version also has more neutral colors. Since they are both Minolta MDs, would a simple A-mount to FE mount work? All in all this is a very good lens which outperforms many much more expensive modern zoom lenses. macrouser • 3 weeks ago ... Fujifilm GFX 100S initial review. At f/5.6 the blur circles have a much less defined edge but they are now take the shape of the aperture with it’s seven not rounded blades. this minolta 35-70 macro fuction only works at 70mm or it can be used all the way from 35 to 70mm? I compared it with Canon ef24is, nfd24, and Voitlander 21/3. For street /architecture you gain some corners sharpness if you close at F5.6, Very reliable AF , very nice colors straight out of the camera, The Sigma 24mm F3.5 DG DN Contemporary (530 euros) is a special lens designed for heavy duty job on the field (reportage, street, shoot under the rain…). Unfortunately no button to switch it to clickless like on the, AF is very fast accurate and silent both in photo and video, 2.2 Vignetting , chromatic aberrations , distorsion, flare, sunstars, Vignetting is quite important at F3.5 and decrease progressively but it still present at F8, Distorsion is automatically corrected in Lightroom, The level of CA is moderate, but you can get some in direct sun, Resistance to flare is good but you can get some in direct sun, The sunstars obtained are ok but not super well defined, There is not yet a Lightroom Lens profile for this lens but this should come soon, Although the aperture is slow , thanks to its very short minimum focusing distance you are able to create some bokeh effects, The Bokeh balls are very good : well circular at F3.5, you start to see an heptagon at F5.6, The background blur is excellent : very soft, Very good results in term of Sharpness, Bokeh, background blur smoothness and color rendition in video, very nice rendering for street or architecture photography, It is a pity we can not switch the aperture ring to clickless, The competitor for the Sigma 24mm F3.5 DG DN (540 euros) are mainly the, The Tamron is the lens with the best sharpness across the whole frame , The sigma is similar in the centre but has has less good corners, The Sigma 24mm F3.5 DG DN has the softest background blur + best bokeh balls, followed by, The color rendition is very good on the Sigma and the Tamron, less on the Samyang, The Tamron is the one with the worst distorsion but fortunately Lightroom lens profile is correcting it in automatically, CA is present on all of them but Sigma is the best one for that.
