In a new video published on YouTube, professional photographer Stephan Wiesner presents the new AF 33/1.4 E lens (APS-C) for Sony E-Mount.
He begins by discussing the particularly pleasant haptics, as the lens is not only made of robust and durable metal (including the lens hood), but also features an aperture ring for manual adjustment. The advantage of this ring? It's a bit stiffer, so it's not easily adjusted by accident if you touch it. Additionally, it makes no clicking sound when rotated, which is very positive for videographers, for example.
Wiesner also shows a screen recording he made in the video to demonstrate the speed of the autofocus. Wiesner explains that the lens also has an eye-detection focus, which is particularly useful for headshots.
He then clearly explains the sharpness and vignetting of the respective aperture settings using photos of a test chart.
Conclusion: Wiesner is very satisfied with the lens and considers it a "super flexible lens", which is very suitable for people photography, but also great for shooting in the city or landscape. Furthermore, it offers excellent value for money and feels particularly high-quality with its metal construction.
