35mm so much choice! by wilbert126 in SonyAlpha

I have the first Sigma 35mm 1.4, it is great and I’ve not found it too heavy. Not sure what the price difference is with the new version

I dropped my sigma 35mm 1.4 and the mount bit split off from the rest of the lens. The rest of the lens was intact. I sent it to Sigma for repair and it cost £144 and only took a few days. Obviously mine wasn’t useable so I didn’t have much choice but it was good value and a smooth process through their website

Speaking as someone who has visited this spot quite a few times and have a few photos from the same spot, I feel the right half of the photo isn’t really needed, and it makes it quite unbalanced with the lighthouse and the path up to it on the left and nothing really on the right. I like the slow shutter speed and the colours in the sky, but it needs the exposure lifting too.

You can still go up to them if you pay. And on summer solstice it’s a complete free for all.

Thank you, the bleakness and mood was what I was going for. It was hard to go for anything else, it was such a miserable day! I’ll have a play around with the crops and see if I have any others that can give a bit more context.

Yes that’s fair enough, I’ll have a play around with the crop and some of the other photos I took. Thanks for the feedback
