Yesterday I was testing out an old sigma 105mm macro lens I was previously using with fuji, and I had set the camera to crop mode.
I forgot I did that. Was trying out a vintage 50mm lens this morning as a particular family member was complaining about skin details, and the whole time I was thinking it's so zoomed in, maybe the adaptor messes with it? Or my memory is bad or what, but crop mode didn't ring in my worn-out head.
So today I took out the viltrox for the first time on a walkabout - with the a7cii in crop mode only, and I didn't notice a thing even after reviewing the images - both at F2 in crop mode with A7CII:
Except I was a little dissappointed with my new sigma 35mm f2 dg dn (not by a lot though) - will retest tomorrow without crop mode.
And I guess I quite like 75mm. The perspective and compression from using 50 in apsc mode would be identical, from what I understand so far anyway, since I'm standing further back...? What would be different when using an actual 75mm lens?
I tried to get @00demontver00 that f2 MFD shot but the light was poor by the time I got to it... and it was crop mode anyway. Will try to do one for you tomorrow if it's not too windy out and you want a flower shot. Otherwise just let me know what subject you want to see.
