In my opinion, Sigma is an example of how market competition should work, they do what others can't or don't want. Pretty much we could say Sigma lenses technically could be among the best lenses ever made, they have excellent image quality at a lower price, so good that is the reason you see hundreds of videos praising Sigma so damn hard and by good reasons, also, they make some of the most interesting lenses that no one has, like the 18-35mm, 50-150mm both f1.8, at the time the 16mm f1.4 for sony, but I feel they compete in the things they have a chance to succeed, in most cases is the image quality the best way to get attention, but what canon and other 1st party have in advantage is the almost full compatibility forward and backward, doing not so attractive stuff, but made to last over time. I don't think Sigma lenses will stand the decades, as easy as Canon or nikon gear, but while they can, it is an amazing season.
Thanks bro. I have had mix reveals on 3rd party lenses. I have not consistently been happy with accuracy of them. I picked up the 50mm art. Its sharp, but not reliable when it came to auto focus, that is until the focus motor died!!! Sent it in for a repair, $165. And when it returned, it was a brand new lens. Now I love it! Sharp, fast, accurately calibrated. (It had a backside focusing issue). So its now producing images I Love.
I still have no idea on which Canon this is? mark 1 or mark 2. That is critical info on this video. I assume it is mark 1 since it is not showing a version 2. What a waste of time.
Interesting, I'm on the fence between these two, weather sealing isn't a deal-breaker but good to have, the vignetting seems pretty close wide open... Gonna have to find some sample images to play with! On the R5, how does the AF accuracy in low light compare?
Thank you for your work. What about the autofocus noise in real world use? Very loud or „silent“ for the Canon? Have heard the Sigma is really „loud“ and hearable on the audio while doing video!? All the best, Daniel and Jessi
Thanks a lot for this video. I'm looking for a wide angle lens for indoor basketball, I have a Canon 77d (APS-C sensor). I wasn't sure if I should go for the Canon second hand or the Sigma brand new. The only doubt I have left after watching this video is about she focus speed: is it noticeable enough on the Canon so that it'll get me better results in basketball games or the Sigma will just do fine? I shoot usually at f1.8, 1/1000 and ISO around 2-3000.
Thanks for the comparison! I've been on the fence over which one. Canon's prices are absolutely crazy. Was the autofocus on the Sigma as good as the Canon?
Thanks for this as for me the comparison is useless to me except to confirm the quality of the Sigma. I shoot Nikon so whatever Canon produces is irrelevant unless made in a Nikon mount! I do think however that your findings should be weighted so that the cost factor should carry more weight than a single point. As for weather sealing. I have been using non-sealed lenses for 60 years and never had a problem as the seal between the flanges on lens and camera have never been less than adequate and proof against anything short of a hosepipe! Surely this bandwagon is an imaginary benefit to encourage sales - but perhaps you have results of tests carried out by manufacturers and can refute this?
I'm surprised you didn't mention that you need to calibrate the Sigma to your camera to get optimum results. A bit of a pain but well worth doing. I don't think it would've mattered much to your results though.. Can't speak for the canon but the sigma is an awesome lens on any full frame. Flare is an issue but easily worked around most times and to be honest even though I don't own one, for the little extra you gain on the Canon for twice the price I will stick to my Sigma.. Re weathersealing: All my hoya Pro filters have a rubber gasket which seals front of lens but this leaves the rear.. I had a look at it and measured rear with a vernier then eBay for a 65mm inner diam 'O' ring.. For £1.89 got a 65mmx1.8mm nitrile 'O' ring which sits nice and snug around base of Sigma AND compresses nicely when lens is mounted.. Hey Presto.. And £700 cheaper!! Good video.. Keep 'em coming : )
Buy Canon for Canon , Nikon for Nikon. You get what you pay for. Canon has the greatest customer support of any camera manufacturer. High quality glass smooth auto focus and nothing beats Canon colors in their camera sensors or glass. Sigma will produce a limited amount of items then will stop producing that item as well as the parts needed for repair of that item. So repairs will not be available for that product when you need it...and need it you will with a sigma product. I've used Canon since 1977 and only had one camera fail me...rather it's led display lights in viewfinder stopped working. The camera still worked properly I just couldn't see my settings in viewfinder. I finished my shoot as I use manual mode and at that time we only had manual focus. And that Canon A-1 with motor drive ma still works today perfectly. Canon parts are still available for many of Canons past products. My sigma 28mm-135 i.s. from 1999 stopped focusing and parts weren't available so I purchased a Canons 28-135mm their first image stabilized wide - mid range Tele lens from 1998 and that Canon lens still works today on my digital bodies. I keep the sigma as a reminder of what not to buy.

The weather sealing does it for me

where did you send it for repairs?
@@gutenbird Sigma. Go to their website, and look for support. It's pretty easy to submit a ticket.
You should have done focus accuracy test, Sigma is known for missing focus. That reason alone is worth going with pre-owned Canon instead of Sigma.
These sigma art ones really focus nicely 🙏
you should change the title to II on the canon. its a huge difference on mk1 and mk2
Yep, I’ve been looking for some discussing the mark 1 version - this tricked me 😂
I still have no idea on which Canon this is? mark 1 or mark 2. That is critical info on this video. I assume it is mark 1 since it is not showing a version 2. What a waste of time.
Dope video bro!!!!! Love this versus video, please do more!
Great vid thanks for sharing 💯

Gonna have to find some sample images to play with!
On the R5, how does the AF accuracy in low light compare?
I'm about to get this lens on the R6 for weddings. I can update after I get it, if you'd like. :)
@@kylesharpstudios6794 Yeah, that would be good, thanks...
I've got the Sigma 20mm and 35mm f1.4 Art, but sometimes could do with something between.
Thank you for your work. What about the autofocus noise in real world use?
Very loud or „silent“ for the Canon?
Have heard the Sigma is really „loud“ and hearable on the audio while doing video!?
All the best,

thank you for great video

Exactly what I was looking for! Superb comparison, thanks.
which lens are you using to make this video of yours?

It's a lens with barrels it will leak in far many more areas than front and rear glass elements.....BWAAAAHAHAHA.
Looked at both these lenses but in the end I went for the sigma 28mm art lens.
There a sucker born every minute.

Depends on personal use tbh but obviously if you can afford it go for it
Хороший анализ и сравнение
Sigma sharpness always looks like it’s a bit artificial and the bokeh is usually not as smooth.
It’s funny how nothing of what you talked here actually matters in regard of these lenses.
I would say image sharpness, AF speed, Size and weight, etc is pretty important, but that’s just me 👀😂
please enlighten us on what factors really matter....thx
