Scenes Seen: The Backup Precious/Bag Of Primes – Sigma 28-45mm f/1.8 DG DN Art.

Subtitle: This lens is a bit absurd… and I am here for it.

Camera.

A favorite. The do-it-all anchor of my Sony kit.

Sony A7C II Part 1: That Escalated Quickly… First Impressions.

Even though I have been fanboying somewhat over some Fujifilm kit (My photography “passion” <wretch> gear.) recently, I have considered more than once switching from Sony FE to Fujifilm X for my main kit. Why? I am glad I imagined that you asked.

No good reason. That brand “loyalty” trap I mentioned recently.

Random Neural Firings: I Have No Interest In The Brand Loyalty Trap.

And that is not a good reason at all.

What I have does everything I need it to do and more. I could point to other cameras and lenses, but this here A7C II makes a solid case for staying where I am all on its own.

More than enough MP.
Insanely competent AF.
I shoot RAW.
- So any color science yammering goes out the windoe for me with this ast generation of Sony sensors.Great colors.
Best lens selection of any camera system.
I am a fan of the look and feel of the A7C line.
- Not something I ever expected to say about Sony.
- If anyone had told me that Sony would be the system to create a faux rangefinder form factor full frame (That is a lot of ‘f’s.) a few years ago, I would not have believed them. The Zf is nice, but I would rather the A7C over a replica mirrorbox hump. Canon has yet to bother. Personal preference. I come in peace.

The lens.

A bag of primes that replaced a few lenses quite handily.

Sigma 28-45mm f/1.8 DG DN Art (1st Post): A Further Lens Consolidation.

Why did I call it absurd in the subtitle? Well… Because it is. Highs and lows.

Highs
- Sharp.
- Bright.
- Great colors.
- Great AF.
- Relaces about three fast prime lenses.
  - Specifically, 28mm (Close enough to replace a 24mm lens for me), 35mm, and 45mm (Close enough to 50mm for me).
- A bag of primes without having to change lenses.
Lows
- Kind of weighs like a bag of primes.
