    Sadly Canon doesn't allow the use of APSC lenses in Full Frame mode in full frame cameras. The Sigma 10-18mm covers the full frame at 12mm and with others focal length the vignette isn't that severe. So after you crop for stabilization in video the vignette is gone. The use of APSC lenses in full frame mode is one of the big reasons to go with Sony system instead of L Mount, Canon or Nikon

      People are misunderstanding your question, but I agree. The lack of something like a a 50-150/2.8-4 (i.e. playing the role of the 70-200 in FF) at this point in Sigmas aps-c development remains a bit of a mystery. It would seem that they don't feel there is enough market given the prevalence of the travel zoom, but maybe that will change.

    Thumbs up for The Chemical Brothers on your Mini Disc!
    Also, great info. I saw your Sony review before, I figured all the same info applied for function and optics and such. I agree the price is a bit high, but as we have seen from the Sigma lenses in the past, the initial price is high, and later the instant rebates happen and they tend to run commonly for long periods of time. I would bet, at least here in the states, we will see it at 400 USD sometime late next year for seasonal pricing, and we will see it flux 50 or so dollars up and down depending on sale times. It is great to see this lens come to the RF system.

    Hey Chris! Thanks for recently reviewing my favorite Fuji lens, the mighty 90mm F/2! Could you perhaps review the Fujifilm 14mm F/2.8? It's a first-party ultrawide lens that hardly ever gets any attention, maybe due to it's high price relative to it's lack of weather sealing and "slow" (not really) maximum aperture. I'm currently using it on my X-T5 and am loving what I'm seeing. I'd be curious what test results your man-cave would conjure up! Greetings from a brother in JC from Germany!

    I use the old ef-s 10-22. F2.8 might be useful but I don’t think it matters. I only want the wide angle for the occasional landscape or travel photo. Then F8 to F5.6 works for me. So there is no benefit for me. I would prefer the canon rf-s. Half the price and sharper

    Can someone please explain what Chris means when he refers to the R7's 32.5MP sensor being "demanding"? He also refers to it as a "hungry beast" which "chews up [less-sharp] lenses" in another video (I think re: the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 on an R7).
    "The very high resolution 32MP sensor of the R7 is clearly a tough playing field for the Sigma lens."
    "If you're shooting on a 24MP camera, you really won't see any difference at all." (Why is this?)
    My question is mainly surrounding the relationship between a camera's MP count/sensor size(?) and a lens. Is there a way to know if a lens will "satisfy" a camera's sensor/MP count prior to buying a lens (outside of watching review videos like these, of course)?
    Thanks in advance!!

      When you view a 32 MP picture on 100% magnification, it is significally bigger than when you view the same picture 100% in 24 MP. The quality is the same but as the magnification becomes larger the inperfections of the lens are much more prominent.

    • @mattflorez2183
      @mattflorez2183 3 месяца назад

      It has to do with a lens’ ability to resolve (basically give the detail that a high mega pixel sensor requires) and 32.5mp on canon apsc is roughly equivalent to an 80mp full frame sensor, which is very demanding. Most glass produced in the past was good to around 35ish mp ff size for density, most new glass is set to resolve up to about 60mp density, because most people wouldn’t need the extra resolving power and it’d be more expensive to produce.

      @@VangelisMatosMedina no but a lens can only resolve detail so much, and most manufacturers don’t engineer their lenses to resolve what the R7 sensor demands, mostly to cut costs, but a lot more are due to higher pixel density sensors on the latest camera bodies. So you’re right, a sensor will never make a lens worse, but a higher pixel density will reveal a lens’ weaknesses.

    I’m pretty new to cameras. I would really appreciate it if someone could answer this question for me. I’ve seen on multiple youtube videos that, if i use a full frame lens on a an APS-C camera, then the aperture changes. For example if a Canon full frame lens have a 1.8 aperture, i should multiply it by 1.6 if I use it on a Canon APS-C camera. Then what about f2.8 APS-C lens on an APS-C camera? Does the aperture stay the same(f2.8) on an APS-C camera or should I also multiply it by 1.6??

    • @driziabdelkaderamine
      @driziabdelkaderamine 5 месяцев назад

      When they refer to aperture changes, they are talking about how it affects the depth of field (how much of your subject is in focus). However, the amount of light the lens allows in remains the same.
      In the case of an APS-C lens on an APS-C camera, you need to multiply the f-number by the crop factor to get the depth of field equivalent on a full-frame camera. This only affects the depth of field, not the actual amount of light or exposure.

      Here‘s a little bit of unwanted confusion 😋
      Infact, the depth of field stays the same on both formats when using the same aperture. 1.8 on FF is 1.8 on crop. however, to get the same field of view on apsc you need to increase the distance to your subject, therefore widening the depth of field.

  • @HeadlessChickenTO
    @HeadlessChickenTO 5 месяцев назад +1

    I wonder if it'd worth it to trade in the Canon RFS 10-18 for this Sigma. I have the Canon, and it works nice. But f4.5-5.6 vs f2.8 throughout, the only downside is no IS. That tight aperture wasn't too big of a concern when I took it with me to Cuba. I wanted it mostly for those bright beach shots. But now, I have very little use for it, especially given how dark it is. I could find more use with an f2.8 aperture.

    • @kevindiaz3459
      @kevindiaz3459 5 месяцев назад

      Honestly, if my 10-18mm was F8 max it would still be useful to me for everything I use it for. If you aren't shooting indoors with it, or using unusually fast shutter speeds with an ultra-wide, shooting video, and various other fairly specific reasons, most the time it's just not a requirement. Lenses this wide thrive on depth more than anything, so you would use it at narrow f-stops anyway for the reasons most use a lens like this. Slower shutter speeds are not a big deal in these cases, in fact a lot of the time you want that anyway. The IS, especially when combined with IBIS, is a far larger gain for shots that really don't need a wide aperture (I think Canon boast up to 7 stops). But! If you want to use the lens for say, events, then the faster aperture is a better idea. I always wanted a fast wide lens like this when I still shot with the 80D, when I started to shoot bands and do parties and such. I didn't have what I considered good options, as I didn't even know about the Tokina 11-16mm (which is just so-so) and the Rokinon 10mm F2.8 was full manual everything (but a cracking good lens otherwise). I ended up going into a full frame setup, which really was the better move for that sort of stuff anyway. I feel like this lens could pull that off though with an R7, R10, or R50 even. R100... eh....
      For what it cost, you wouldn't be out much even if you eventually realized you didn't really need F2.8. Or you get an nice and wide F2.8 lens for a decent price after you sell/trade your other lens.

    I have a Canon R7 and a Canon 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM EF-S lens so this new Sigma lens is very interesting to me.
    The Canon RF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM lens is not IMHO a worthwhile improvement over the 10-18 EF-S lens.
    The Canon RF-S 10-18 lens is about $300 and the Sigma RF-S 10-18 is about $650 here in the USA.
    The two extra stops of the Sigma lens almost negates the advantage of Canon lens' built-in OIS.
