Short Trip to Singapore (18/10/2017 - 19/10/2017)

21/10/2017

0 Comments

 
On 18/10/2017, I took a brief one-night stay in Singapore CBD to put my two new lenses to the test, the SONY FE 12-24mm f/4 G and the SONY FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM.  The hotel is about 1km walking distance to the Merlion Park, where I spent most of the sunset and sunrise (the next day) there. Thought of sharing my experiences with you all.  Here are the shots. Thank you.

SONY FE 12-24mm f/4 G Lens

I've used this lens for almost 2 months now and really love the sharpness it delivers, even wide open. The starburst is excellent. I will share further experiences with the lens.  For now, here are some sample images from the lens.

SONY FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM Lens

LATEST (16/10/2017): SONY FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM lens review. Highest-rated wide-angle zoom (by DX0MARK)  :www.dxomark.com/sony-fe-16-35mm-f28-gm-lens-review-highest-rated-wide-angle-zoom/

​
Last week, upon recommendation from my buddy, Fakrul Jamil, I've decided to consolidate my lenses, trade in several lenses to opt for the new SONY FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM (SEL1635GM) lens. This will be my main landscape & milkyway lens for sure.

​Let me share some of the benefits of this lens after using it for a few days now:
  1. The starburst created by the 11-blade aperture is simply superb, even at f/8 while best between f/11 to f/16;
  2. The lens has a filter thread of 82mm, which fits nicely on my NiSi 100mm Filter Holder V5 Pro, without having to use any step-up ring;
  3. The built-in Focus Hold Button works like a charm;
  4. Better low light performance. Eventhough there's no OSS, my SONY A7RII already has IBIS to provide stabilization. So, no issue;
  5. The copy I have is very sharp corner to corner even wide open, with maximum sharpness between f/8 to f/11.

Here are some of the images taken using my SONY A7RII with the SEL1635GM.

​Masjid Putra, taken with SONY A7RII at 16mm, f/8, 63.0 sec, ISO 100, Nisi CPL + NiSi ND1000 + Nisi GND .9 Soft filters used. Single exposure.
The lens performs very well indeed.  I've got to wait for the milkyway season next year for some astrophotography.  Good day!
