This is the wide-angle to get for L-mount, but there are also loads of excellent and more practical first-party L-mount wides now, too -- I want them all! Lumix 14-28, Sigma compact 16-28 f/2.8, Lumix 18mm, Lumix 20-60, Leica-cert 16-35, actual Leica 16-35, Leica-tl 11-23, Sigma Art 14-24, then all those summicron-style I-series f/2s and super-tiny demi-macro 24mm f/3.5... I don't shoot wide enough to jusrify more than two, but ... PRECIOUS!!!!
Kai, DG = Digital Grade (apparently compared to older lenses for film cameras? I dunno) DN = Digital Neo And for reference, the DC on APS-C lenses means Digital Compact What lens did you film the first bit with? The CA was a bit... distracting I don't mind the delayed reviews, it's nice seeing reviews of a lens you've had some time to get familiar with.
I recently bought the Sigma 24/1.4 and 85/1.4 - they are both incredible lenses! I already have the Sony 20/1.8, but am considering selling it and buying the Sigma version instead. I am LOVING what Sigma is building these days. And the video AF on the A7RV with the Sigma lenses is quite snappy - still not as fast as Sony lens, but nearly there.
With an ultrawide, the corners CANNOT be in focus together with the centre of the flat image. The distances from subject to camera in the centre are much smaller than from the corners to the camera. Something with Pythagoras. Look it up.
dunno if anyone cares but i almost only get sigma lenses for my Lumix S5 ... in fact i've only purchased 1 Lumix lens for it (apart from the kit lens ) and 4 sigma lenses ... i dunno i just really like how sigma lenses perform ... although they aren't made for video they are still usable
i own this lens as a EF version. Its the only one remaining from my old DSLR Kit (moved over to fully RF) because its so dangem sharp. It has a bit of coma, on the other hand f1.4! Its chunky heavy but i love it for its sharpness. Protip: Put a macro tube on it, 20mm "macro" shots (close focal distance is within the lense xD) are something really cool
🥂 The new design 20mm is apparently perfect for astro - they've made the acuity very even across the frame. Apparently the SLR design is sharper in the very centre, though - as is this 24mm, but they reduced the centre for the new 20 in favour of the full field.
I have a nikon d3300 and having some trouble taking photos for products for my website. What can I do to make more clear and brightened up photos. I got two studio lights but its hard for me to get it perfect. Thanks!
Hehe... I agree, tested the 24GM but bought the 24 DG DN Art instead. Besides image quality, I just like how the Sigma is designed and build... plus that obnoxious bright red "GM" badge somehow always rubs me the wrong way when I see it... lol
It always drives me mad seeing wet cameras. Sure it's weather sealed, by why go out of your way to find out how good that weather sealing is? Water is poison to an electronic device! Once I was coming out of B&H Photo in Manhattan and it was pouring down rain very hard. Some young guy obviously on his daddy's money was standing right at the edge of the awning where a ton of water was streaming down. He had a super nice flagship Nikon with gallons of water pouring over the camera every minute. I literally cringed. ps wow Kai speaks Japanese?
Maybe because he has confidence in his gear and isn't scared to use it? Why buy gear with weather sealing and then baby it and keep it out of the weather?
Love the M5 just hanging out in the background!
I myself had a “bokeh buffet” just this morning with my own camera. But that is one compact lens.
The best Leica M ❤
The SquareSpace read at the end was cut off.
Thanks, SquareSpace!
They suck, who cares
i bought that lens like 2 months ago for my lumix s5 !! i use it for astro photography and low light vlogging / wide angle videos. I really like it :)
Here's a Thumbs Up to the end of this video 😂👍

Where were you with the F1 cars?? So cool!
Love the subtle mic positioning

Ну наконецто, видео про любимую Сигму ☺

DUDE! YOU'RE STILL ALIVE!!
Hopefully they make RF at some point
The title of this video made me smile because I knew what this video entailed hehe
Sigmas are my favourite third party lens full of bokeh goodness 😁
First-party to the L-Mount Alliance ;-)
Good lens to pair with your new S5II. Sigma L mount ftw.
5:29 I love your sudden Japanese 😂

The Sigma ART 35mm 1.4 is still the big winner. together with the Sigma ART 50mm 1.4
Thoughts on viltrox 16mm f1.8?
Which microphone and which audio interface are you using in this video? Sound is really good even on a smartphone.

I have the 24mm 1.4 Sony, is it really THAT much more wider? 🤔
Yup, each mm on the lower side of focus range have more weight in terms of an angle than each mm on the higher side.

How is it compared to Lumix 18mm 1.8?
I want this lens so bad! Will be the last one of my Sigma trinity 35mm f1.2 and 85mm f1.4
spherecromatic can be stopper for some ppl, you cannot correct it on post pro in any way.
I love my 35mm f1.2 and 85mm f1.4, and now I'm really considering getting this lens as well.
@@AABB-px8lc what are you talking about?
A Trinity in four-parts* with the 50mm ART releasing this week...😉
*as Douglas Adams would say
@@fellowcitizen Hahaha, a good adition, but not to me personally. Unless Sigma releases a 50mm f1.2, then I can consider
Is it illegal for Kai to have 1,000,000 subscribers?
dat cut at the end haha
Where is that cool looking F1 display?
I read 200 instead of 20 on the title and imagined an obscenely big lens.
if sigma released smaller versions of their 28 and 40 I would switch to sony tomorrow
I have a nikon d3300 and having some trouble taking photos for products for my website. What can I do to make more clear and brightened up photos. I got two studio lights but its hard for me to get it perfect.
Thanks!
love the sigma male thumbnail lmao
Why do you need a wide angle bokeh lens?
Why don't you?
Was the video supposed to end the way it did because I can't tell if it was by mistake or deliberate 😂 Also, interesting lens but not for me
Sigma!

Have you considered voice acting or voice over? I’d listen to you reading Harry Potter.
Same here... not a 3rd party lens buyer either.. Nothing against them- just don't buy them.
Who knows? I might be buying them- and not know it.
-1 weathersealed hopefully - as reviewer are u asking or should u figure it out
"when it comes to focusing for video, not so hot - which is nice"
I was like no 1000. My ocd had to point that out.
Its so big, Id be fine with a 2.8..
comment for the stupid M5 asymmetric tripod connection. I hate that thing 😂
Tree Bokeh = TRO Keh.
Tenth
You really do not get any significant "bokeh" with a 20mm Lens even if it has aperture 1.4 !
I'm a fan of third party lenses, mainly because I'm broke. Also, I'm a really horrible photographer.
It always drives me mad seeing wet cameras.

Too big.
