Hello,
I would like to hear your opinion about this set of 3 lenses I plan to buy together with a new Pocket Camera:
+Rokinon 12mm T2.2 - 374usd
+Panasonic Lumix G 20mm f/1.7 - 268 usd
+Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN - 340 usd
The Sigma 30mm f1.4 seems like a new lens. Is it compatible with the BMPCC, or are there issues reported?
I read a forum in dpreview.com about non-communication with the aperture of a Sigma lens (the 19mm f/2.8 DN) when it was new, but the issue was solved on that model.
Instead of the Lumix G 20mm f/1.7 I have also been considering this Sigma 19mm, but I see it is not very popular, or is just my impression? It seems a good lens, and newer than the Lumix G 20mm.
I want to have very sharp lenses. Once I thought of the zoom Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 but I've decided to go instead for 3 primes, although a zoom would be very comfortable. But it just seems primes will always be better, especially if you want sharpness.
Does it seem like a good set of lenses?
I plan to do some handheld, mostly tripod, but I would just not think of the IOS stabilization issue. It wouldn't be a decisive factor for buying a lens.
Your opinions and info are warmly appreciated.
Martin
