👍🏾👍🏾Very Awesome, my Brother!! Many Thanks, excellent content.

I wasn't sure about the USB dock but if they're still pushing updates I think it's worth getting. Thank you for these videos, you're answering all my questions while I wait for my preorder to get here

This is the first lens I’ve picked up for my R7, got it for $350 preowned , super happy with the combo so far

@@SMGJohn 😅 No, he got the Sigma 18-35 for $350, not the R7, hehe. I found a similar deal a couple years ago for just $300 USD, good as new.

That legendary Sigma 18-35 is still my favorite lens to this day, it lived on my GH5 and created awesome videos and films! It unfortunately doesn't see as much action now that I'm on Sony FF, but whenever I can I always find a reason to bring my Sigma with me for video :) The only sad part is with everything moving over to mirrorless and less less mainstream lenses have the mechanical focus ring. If Sigma ever did create another beast of a lens like this for full frame it'll most likely have fly-by-wire focusing. Even if it is a linear focus algorithm it just doesn't feel magical haha. Lovin' the content Geoff, keep em comin'!

Yeah it’s such a solid lens, I wish I could have used it with my R6 but it forced me to get sigmas 24-70 for full frame. The 18-35 is just so cost effective not sure I will ever get rid of it. Thanks for stopping by Jason!

Hey been loving this content! What do you think is sharper combo with the 18-35 - R7 4k60 (lineskipped) or the R6 4k60 in crop mode 🤨 We have an R6, but if the 4k60 on the r7 is not that great it really makes it hard to justify going for the r7 for weddings.

@ReachFilms

Thanks Matt! I’ll dive into the specifics in my review but the short answer is the crop mode is better quality, and that may bring value to using focal reducers with the r7 for slow motion in 4K and crop sensor lenses

Informative Vid, thx. When you mentioned you wouldn't use the Variable ND Filter for "Narrative", can you describe some situations where you would not use it? In certain specific lighting situations? IE - interior Interviews? B-Roll? Looking at the various Variable ND Adapters, which looks to be great, do you get the color shift when using the clear filter also? I'm specifically looking at the Meike, which costs about $400 less than the canon, seems to be getting good reviews.

@ReachFilms

2 жыл бұрын

So first no on the clear filter there shouldn’t be any color shift, however I haven’t tested Meike’s clear filter so I can’t speak to it. When it comes to these VND adapters ALL of them will have color shifting and it gets worse the closer to the max ND you go. In Narrative I wouldn’t use them FOR ANY footage because of the color shift issue, in narrative that kind of stuff just isn’t acceptable. But in a lot of other situations the color shift doesn’t matter as much if the images still look great.

I've use it but the lens become too long+heavy with the adapter..my zhiyun weebill S couldn't handle it 😅 any tips for solving the problem?

Thanks. Knowing that IBIS works on 18-35mm is a relief!

This lens is a legend. The only thing is this lens was designed to work with DSLR cameras. Mirrorless is s a little different. How do you find the Sigma stacks up against let's say an Rf 15-35 in sharpness, focus speed and tracking?

@ReachFilms

Жыл бұрын

In sharpness it’s close, where the 15-35 beats the sigma is in anything to do with auto focus. The 15-35 is just much better. The sigma isn’t bad and is totally useable just not quite as snappy

How does the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 work in photo mode through an adapter on an eos r7 camera? It is the work of the photo in this bundle that is of interest through the base adapter.

I'm a beginner, and I want to buy my first camera, a Canon R7. Can anybody suggest which lens I should buy first? Canon 18-150mm kit or Sigma 18-35mm

Will the Canon RF 35mm f1.8 lens has better photo and video quality compare to the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 lens in the 35mm focal length? Maybe the RF lens faster and smoother in focusing as the camera and the lens are compatible? Not sure bout that, wish to get yours and others' opinions.

Thanks for the kind works silver! It really depends, you can pick up a sigma 18-35 used for around the same price as a new 35mm 1.8 RF, however the 35mm has built in image stabilization and is much smaller on the body of the camera. I think the sigma is sharper too however both lenses are great and I have them both! It really just depends on your personal situation on what you value more if you have to choose one or another

@ReachFilms

Жыл бұрын

I don’t think the 17-55 is a bad lens by any means, however I will absolutely disagree that it is better in every way. Especially because of how much focus breathing it has. I can actually use the sigma 18-35 in a narrative production, tv show or whatever because the focus breathing is so minimal and the image is so sharp. The 17-55 is a decent lens but it really depends on the type of work you do. Other than having image stabilization and more available focal lengths that doesn’t equate to better quality. That equates to more features that suit your use cases.

Now I'm using it with 90D Im thinking to upgrade to r7 and use my sigma 18 35 Or transfer to full frame r8 and buy the 24-70 What do u recommend?

I got my R7 a few weeks ago and just got this lens today! But there seems to be an issue with this lens paired with the R7 IBIS. It is super jittery in both photo and video mode when I have stabilization on (IBIS, electronic stabilization, or both). It makes it unusable for video and very unpleasant for taking photos, which is a huge shame as IBIS was a big reason I went with the R7 over the R10. Did you run into this issue with the 18-35 together with the R7? I’m guessing I just need to go out and get a lens dock and update the firmware on the lens, but needing to make an additional purchase now is a bit of a bummer

No, it is not like a 24-70. It's tighter in the wide end and just 56mm equivalent on the long end. In terms of focal length It is way less practical, than a 24-70 on a full frame.

We’re not speaking in black and white here, it’s an 18-35 1.8 that gives you similar results to a 24-70 on full frame. Is the same exact lens just translated over? No it isn’t, however for people who are not very techy or very technical when it comes to camera gear, that approximation helps with understanding what this lens can do.

@@ReachFilms yes, I missed out on editing that part into my comment. 🙈 Focus breathing is the 50-100's bane in video. But it would be amazing for stills on the R7.

I don't see the point of this lens. The best lens for video for r7 is, in my opinion, canon rf-s 18-150 It works with matrix stabilization, simulation of parfocal, silence autofocus, smooth aperture and, most importantly, the range of focal lengths. And everything that this lens can't handle is solved with the help of primes. The 35mm 1.4 is much more useful than this sigma. The range in the 18-35 I'll solve with my feet. That's three to four steps each way. As a triumph of engineering and a specific lens for certain scenarios - the lens is wonderful. As something that will solve all your issues by becoming a universal lens for every day - absolutely not! It is an extremely rash decision.
