What do you guys think about this new lens from Sigma? Drop em below 👇
Sigma 18-35 is popular because it is EF mount to be adaptable to different systems, larger zoom range and unique in apsc lineup. This 28=45 misses a lot of target audience by creating a short, heavy zoom. Take 24-35 f/2, for example, whose price sits around $400 because no one uses it.
It’s definitely a unique lens for sure and won’t be a lot of people’s preference or first choice. I enjoyed using it at my latest event but I totally see the distaste and shortcomings a lot of filmmakers have with it. At the end of the day it’s another tool for filmmakers to decide if it’s best suited for them.
@@frankfeng2701 why they didn't just add a little more, like 25-50. or 20-40. And it will become all rounder lens, from studio to outside shoot. I know what they think, marketing. The sales for these maybe use to an another upgraded lens like this. So, my advice is just wait.
Sigma are bringing some great fast zooms to the table! - Zooms that give you the look of a prime are great for weddings. Having a zoom range really gives you more flexibility in a changing environment. I've got the 35-150mm f2-2.8 lens and its brilliant for the formalities. - its too heavy and big for me to use all day unfortunately but great on tripods for speeches and ceremony
Totally! I love my 35-150 and my second shooter always uses this lens while I stick to a 50 prime or in this video the 28-45 which worked wonderfully. Killer combo!
A 35-135 f1.8 would be a dream lens.
Preachhhh
Would weigh 4kg lol
@@Wildridefilms yeah it would be insane haha
You would need to put that on a tank to use it :D
@@meyerdigitalfilm 😂
Oooof that 1.8 is tempting for sure. I think I like the versatility of the 24-70, but having a lens like this is great to keep your setup light and keep you nimble.
100% I love the 1.8 and its such a huge selling point but yeah Ive been spoiled by the versatility of 24-70.
Mines arriving in a few hours. Can’t wait
That is awesome! I really enjoyed using this lens. I gotta send it back sadly but I will definitely be picking one up 💪
That's a thicc lens right there. Not sure I could see it taking the spot for 24-70mm for me as that range is worth the 2.8 give.
Good review on this and it's application!
Great review! Glad you mentioned the crop mode. Even at 1.5x the depth of field will be slightly shallower then a 2.8 using the full sensor. Think I'm going to purchase this guy and get rid of my 35 + 50
Its an awesome lens! Thanks so much for watching
Cool lens. Off-topic: I know you're exploring ditching slo-mo in some scenarios. But the problem remains--shooting 60p or faster with appropriate shutter looks bad on a 24p timeline, playing at real-time speed. I wish we had solutions for that. Looks jittery, and possibly like a settings/operator mistake.
Thanks for the feedback. Id say a simple solution is Gimbal + ND Filter if you still wanted to film in 60. I didn't have the right threads for this wedding since I was testing a new lens so my ND filter wasn't available. I worked with what I had and did what I was comfortable with. I still think it turned out awesome and I know the couple will love the end product and for me that's all that matters.
My sigma 24-70 2.8 looks so shaky on my R6 when I use it handheld compared to my RP! I’m not sure why so I haven’t used it in a couple months 😅 definitely prefer to use a zoom lens for weddings though, especially during portraits
Nice lense, but unfortunately my budget is now low as my 70-200 2.8gm arrived two hours ago 😂
Haha well you have a BEAUTIFUL lens with that 70-200 so Id say money well spent. 💪
Okay, some thoughts. This or the 1.4 50mm? And mid-day fog?!? Is that a North Carolina thing?
Dude thats really tough but I would say it really depends on if you feel .4 makes that much of a difference. I mean love me some primes but the versatility with this lens at 1.8 and still achieving beautiful depth, makes me vote Sigma 28-45 here. Also dude haha the fog was a gift. It was sunny, then it rained, then the fog said, "hello lucky filmmaker, welcome to beauty and mystique."
The Spirit of Mastermind has spoken.
Thanks for the insights into your experience with this lens. Unrelated question: do you use shutter speed to control exposure instead of ND filters?
I’m just curious about some of the motion in the footage.
@@strider785 Yes some shots were exposed with shutter. I didn’t have the right threads with my ND for this wedding
Jaired, may I suggest a possible workaround for the af/mf switch placement? I turn the focus hold button into an AF/MF selector toggle....easier and faster in my experience..
Bless you! This is such an awesome idea. Appreciate you 💪
Hard descion if to use only one lens for most b roll at wedding. I still would go with 24-70 f2.8.
Very valid!
So the f1.8 aperture couldn't be close to f16 or f22 to have more dop?
@@bluecityfilmsLA The lower the number the blurrier your depth of field. The higher the number would result in a more narrow depth of field keeping your frame in equal focus
28 not wide enough. Stick with 24 1.4 and 50 1.2 and your golden
Solid focal ranges for sure
I wish it went to at least 50mm. I know the clear image zoom works well but you lose auto focus at that point. 😢
I know and thats really the biggest detractor for people but it's a beautiful lens that can be a great asset depending on your end use with it. For me the 1.8 sells the deal and the zoom aspect is a bonus.
You only lose auto focus for face tracking but auto focus still works.
Hard pass!
In the blind ‘want’ to have the fastest full frame zoom and hit f1.8, they have made something that works for no one.
24-50mm f2 at £1200 and everyone would have bought it. Sigma have Proper messed up with this one.
Surprisingly I found 28 to be a perfect range for this wedding but I can definitely see how this may not always be the case for every situation. But you make some strong points for sure!
@@WaywardNorth I use the Tamron 28-75mm so I’m happy with 28mm, just find the limits of this range quite.. limiting 😂
I will stick to a 24mm 1.4 or a 50mm 1.4. The zoom focal length is unusual. Confused lens.
It’s definitely unique but a cool option for some folks!
Primes are always Better Using a prime lens forces photographers to move around and think more about composition and framing, which can lead to more creative and thoughtfully composed shots.
Totally primes are great for that - I even mention in this video treating this lens like a prime for that exact reason will serve you even better. Every lens has its purpose and design to fit a specific look and need. One gives you a sharper image, a blurrier background, the other gives you versatility and depth. Each has their place 💪
@@WaywardNorth Absolutely, you make a valid point about each lens having its own purpose and advantages. However, I still firmly believe that prime lenses hold a special edge, especially when it comes to honing photographic skills and achieving superior image quality.
Prime lenses generally offer sharper images and wider apertures compared to zoom lenses, allowing for stunning bokeh and low-light performance. This sharpness and clarity are often unmatched, providing a level of detail and depth that zoom lenses struggle to replicate.
Moreover, the fixed focal length of primes forces photographers to be more deliberate with their composition. This restriction can foster creativity and a deeper understanding of framing and perspective. It pushes us to move around and explore different angles, leading to more thoughtfully composed shots.
While the Sigma 28-45mm f/1.8 is undoubtedly versatile and high-quality, I find that the discipline and precision required by prime lenses make them invaluable tools for any serious photographer. They teach you to work within constraints and truly master the art of photography, rather than relying on the convenience of a zoom.
In my experience, the unique characteristics and superior performance of prime lenses often outweigh the benefits of versatility. They might require a bit more effort and thought, but the results are undeniably worth it. & I am your fan love your videos
Id rather just use a fast 35mm f1.4 prime lens. 28mm - 45mm just isn't enough and Id be swapping lenses anyway. 35mm prime and 70-200 is probably the way to go.
That’s a good combo! I like to experiment every so often. It all depends on your style, is 1.8 low enough, is 28-45 versatile enough, most people want 24 to atleast 50, some want wider and longer, so yeah using lenses that meet those requirements for you and checks off your boxes is important snd will be different for each filmmaker
isn't 18-35mm 1.8 better value, it can be used on full frame and got some nice range, still 1.8?
The 18-35 is an APS-C lens and you “can” use it on a full frame frame camera but will experience vignetting at 18mm unless your camera has an APS-C mode you can switch it to. So just depends on the camera at that point but the 28-45 is the full frame equivalent give or take a few mm
An 18-35mm also doesn't bode well with most wedding filmmakers, as it's just way too wide and doesn't make people look good.
@@benjamin.kelley it is 27mm on full frame so almost same as 28mm
@@WaywardNorth A7IV has is also half price and weight.
I have a Lumix S1/S5. They both crop at 4K60, so the 18-35 works great. And it gives a similar field of view to to the 28-45. And I can still adapt it to other systems. So in my case it really makes no sense to upgrade to this. But it does look like a great lens!
Still using NiSi ?
Yes sir
No IS? I’m not missing these 3rd party lenses, more than happy with my RF glass and butter IS
For sure, third party lenses are more budget friendly and exist for a reason. RF lenses are beautiful but you invest a pretty penny. I love when brands offer comparable solutions for the frugal
Filmmaker and still give you great results in the process. But yeah if you have RF GMaster and Native Lens money. Treat yo self!
@@WaywardNorth I’m just saying this particular lens is a big F. Some of the shots in the vid are shaky even slowed down. RF stm’s have IS, I’ll take them over a lot of these 3rd party glass… not trying to be negative, your content is dope
@@GMRiverBoys oh for sure and if I had the budget for GMaster glass I wouldn’t even go third party. But it is nice to have options and there’s always ways around shaky footage (gimbals, monopods, etc)
New RF 35mm 1.4 doesn’t have IS.
@@YanFries true, it’s designed for a gimbal or stabilized rig. But there’s better RF glass than this, and much cheaper. Y’all can have your 3rd party lenses I’m in the long game with RF
pass I’m sticking with my Sony 24-70
Solid lens!
Hell no
Okie dokie
I don't know it just sits in between everything you already have and way too expensive... It's unnecessary
I totally understand that! Not everyone’s cup of tea and that’s okay
You need a gimbal.. just saying
Nah im good. Thanks though
bye bye primes my ass lol, my primes costed me tons of money! I'm sure I'd bye bye that lens before my primes. Not really seeing a difference in quality but I'm positive for some people it will be beneficial for em.
@@tonypmedia haha amen to that! I see that title got to you 😜 yeah I can’t see selling my primes to replace it with this lens but it was a lot of fun playing around with this new beast. Definitely a great option for some!
Enter Islam and success
