sharpness: 4.5 color: 5 build: 5 distortion: 5 flare control: 5 overall: 4.9 | tested on:
|
ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | ZA50/1.4 Planar. I'd say both are on par, with slight advantages on the Planar. |
price paid: | 749 € new |
positive: | Built quality, haptic, colors, contrast |
negative: | Bokeh fringing can be disturbing. Heavy vignetting. Both easy to correct in post. Drop of sharpness up to f4 |
comment: | The Sonnar is a very good lens, and it has no big issues. The real and only downside is the drop of sharpness towards the borders on the 42MP sensor if your image requires sharpness end to end. |
