QUOTE(wingster @ Aug 20 2010, 10:25 PM) Sigma 30mm and Sony 35mm F1.4 doesn't seems to have good feedback on their sharpness but it still good for portrait and all-round use for the expensive options hurmm ... any other recommendation for wide angle prime lens? Added on August 20, 2010, 10:54 pmQUOTE(mastering89 @ Aug 20 2010, 10:30 PM) 30mm is not that wide (probably ur using FF then it is  ). get the 20mm f/2.8 or wait for the CZ24mm f/2  <---- this one even tapaw the great cz2470  I would categorize 16-30mm is wide range. below than it will be ultra wide lens ..  .. I am not using FF, just an a700 .. CZ24mm f2 will leave a deep whole in my pocket.. not a good choice then at least for me .. haha ..  ...

QUOTE(zstan @ Aug 20 2010, 10:56 PM) what do u want? if wide angle the carl zeiss or tammy is the best lor. if UWA maybe u can get tokina ? I want to let go my cz1680 and opt for wide angle prime lens .. maybe sigma 30mm f1.4 would be the choice but I wonder how does it perform compare to cz1680 .. i am not looking for UWA .. just wide angle around 20-30mm will do ..  ..

QUOTE(albnok @ Aug 20 2010, 11:51 PM) Seng_Kiat: I would just tell you to go to the shop and try it. The Sigma 30mm F1.4, like the Sigma 50mm F1.4 HSM, has a very different look. Don't expect the pictures to look like your Zeiss. It is not a bad thing... but it looks different. If you stopped both down to F5.6 you could probably tell the difference by just looking at the color. They are still nice and sharp especially in the center, but there is a certain... plasticky look about the colors. It is well saturated though. I have not owned either lens, though. Ooo I see ... Alright master ... I will give it a try first before decide ..  ..

QUOTE(lwliam @ Aug 24 2010, 12:13 AM) then why not might as well you go get the Apple? because I got a better deal if buying dell .. QUOTE(albnok @ Aug 24 2010, 12:33 AM) Seng_Kiat: Go get a Spyder then. I don't remember which but there is one budget model. Even Apple monitors are not perfectly calibrated as my studio photographer friend notes. Monitors need to be recalibrated every month for optimum color work (though, it won't run much if you don't... but if your work is a critical science of color then you'd do so.) Thanks albnok.
