Micro 4/3 Showcase SIGMA 56mm F1.4 DC DN

[Lumixdude]

I think it's one of the sharpest lenses in m4/3. Not that I'm massively concerned about such things, but right from 1.4 it's sharp. Everywhere. I stop down a bit, but that's just to get a bit more DOF. You do need a bit of working room, even where I use it -outdoors for vehicle shows. Hasn't gotten a lot of use the last year or two, with the cancellation of all my favourite events. Due to the panic over the plague. Hopefully this will change. Soon.

I am loving whatever this lens is doing. Just lovely! For my uses cases, it has replaced the 45mm f1.8 and the 75mm f1.8.

Some lenses seem to create great light in every frame, right?

This isn't merely an awesome avian portrait...it's a great photograph.
I keep looking at it and wondering what he is thinking. And how aware he was of the photographer's camera, or presence. Or... what it would be like to be inside his head and looking out, and seeing the world through those eyes. And, yes, something about that expression seems to say, I know I'm a ferocious customer...so stay out of my way here in the barnyard.
Like I said...a great photo.

Went to a medieval combat event near Galway! I took a gamble between my O 45-150R and the sigma, I hoped ~112mm would be enough reach and I think it was!
