    🤣That Canon 35mm is not 7g!! Always lose bits of text when I export the video from FCPX. It's 760g!!

      Yeah but they SHOULD make a 7g lens just to do it.

      @jeus_saaa 5 лет назад +2

      Is it actually sharper even than the Canon 135 f2? I remember you saying that that was the sharpest lens you've ever tested before

    When Sigma makes a pancake lens, they use all the batter.

    The first time I put the 50mm 1.4 Art lens on my D610, I was blown away by the sharpness. They are, hands down, the sharpest damn lenses, wide-open. Great review! :)

    Always super! I was waiting for this review. Sigma is doing a good job I really appreciate their products I'm using 18-35mm, 20mm and 30mm and I had a short time 50mm one of the best I've used so far. Maybe the next one will be 40mm but the price is still high.

  • @janhemstad
    @janhemstad 5 лет назад +1

    It's also a good focal length because it's near the 44mm image diagonal of full frame, which matches the perspective of human vision. So it essentially gives the effect of looking through a window.

    Kai, as you know sony zeiss has a 40mm f2...much more compact/light weight than the Sigma. Much more flexible when it comes to mounting on a gimbal. However, I'd would like to see a comparison on wide open sharpness and bokeh.

  • @AndrewPowerTower

    Oh, I follow sixstreetunder! I didn't clue in to who he was until the end of the video when you showed his IG. He does some great street photography and he shoots with the Fujifilm X-Pro2 (which I've been lusting after since buying the X100F).

    I've owned L lenses and Sigma lenses, and honestly, always enjoyed my Sigma lenses more. They're magnificent for the price. L lenses have better build quality, but sometimes the glass or tech isn't as good.

    • @breathLP
      @breathLP 5 лет назад +1

      The newer L lenses are fantastic, though. I think only the older models are somewhat lacking. Lenses like the 85mm F/1.4 L IS USM and the 16-35mm F/4 L IS USM are pretty much unrivaled.

    • @onixz100
      @onixz100 5 лет назад

  • @christianvolkner2028
    @christianvolkner2028 5 лет назад

    I have the feeling that the lenses are getting more similar than different. Even the new Canon rf 50 is now extremely sharp, Tamron has super lenses, Sigma of course as well, Samyang and Zeiss and probably many more. I mean the images get sharper, but not better, right?

  • @lemmor6791civ
    @lemmor6791civ 5 лет назад +25

    At 1.2 kg this lens is way out of proportions!!! 40mm lenses have always been a practical focal length... I just cannot see me lugging around this dumbell in the streets, a big heavy large aperture portrait lens or massive bulbous wide-angle are alright because they have pretty specific uses. Not this one...

    • @MrMichaelfalk

    • @milkod2001
      @milkod2001 5 лет назад +1

      Yeah good point. This Sigma 40 1.2 would be great lens when you are meeting your client on location, pull out from the bag,a quick photoshoot and then back to bag. But it is def. no walkaround lens. Just too big and heavy for 40mm. If you are with Sony Batis 40 f2 would be better option for that.

  • @TomasRamoska
    @TomasRamoska 5 лет назад

    On Canon dslr body will take Canon 35mm f1.4 mkii any day just for AF consistency. On mirrorless 40mm is amazing.
