​@@richard99970here's why sir.. about an year ago i was in the market for a new camera. I had narrowed down to the sony a7iv and the canon r6ii.. in my research i found canon is the better performer. But sony allows for cheaper but high quality sigma lenses on their bodies.. guess who i went with.. the sony!! Also bought 2 sigma lenses for the price of 1 canon lens. And i am pretty happy with the performance. This decision from canon is not "saving a part of their business" but infact losing them business. I would have definitely bought the canon r6ii if it supported sigma lenses. And trust me there r probably thousands like me out there..

Beautiful grade on this! Thanks for the info!

Thank you mate. Probably the only in-depth interview I could find

I remember when dslr lenses were the way on Sony e mount. Thankfully you now make some wonderful mirrorless e mount lenses which outshine their dslr counterparts. Keep up the great work.

I found this really helpful! I’ve gotten started in photography with a second hand Canon eos 600D and am at the stage of upgrading to an R6. I love the sigma lenses that I’ve been using (14mm prime and 150-600mm contemporary) and am glad that with the adapter I can continue to use them! Keep up the amazing work guys 🙌🏼

Great job Aiden. Excellent video.

I have the EF 150-600 sport and a 120-300 2.8 sport. The 150-600 sport is horrible wide open at 600mm on my R7, but f8 is pretty good. The 120-300 is tack sharp wide open at all focal lengths, but it has horrid pulsing when I focus on things within a few feet close to me in AI Servo mode. When things are further away the pulsing doesn't go on as much, but it's still there. I REALLY hope Sigma comes out with a firmware to fix the pulsing...I've tried Duade Paton's settings and they seem to help my 150-600 more than my 120-300. The 120-300 is amazingly sharp when things are focused, but I think my keeper rate drops from 90%+ using my Canon EF glass down to about 60%. Single shot mode is fine though.

Very informative video, awesome to know that all those Sigma lenses can be used just with an adopter on Canon R series!

I have all sorts of problems with the 150-600 AF on canon R5, when it works though it takes amazing photos

Great lenses, I got 20, 35, and 135mm last year for my R6 and they are really amazing! Looking into upgrading my 85mm Canon lens and switching to Sigma art as well!

I'm currently in possession of the 150-600 Contemporary (though I think I'm going to trade it in for the Sport). It's a great lens on both my 1DX Mk III and 7D Mk II. It's good to know I can use it with the R6 Mk II I recently added to my kit. I've got the EF > RF adapter, and I'm definitely going to try the Sigma on the R6. Thanks for posting!

I have the Sigma 150 to 600mm as well and it does work great with all my Canon Cameras , 6D , 80D and now just recently purchased R6 Mark 2. I'm thinking I will keep all my Sigma glass and continue on with Canon R Camera platform.

IBIS may not work properly with an older Sigma lens for APS-C sensors. Not sure why, but my Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM is worse than unstabilized with both IBIS and lens stability enabled. The good news is that the lens stabilization works just as well as it ever has on it's own with IBIS off.

Hmm good question Barry. Sorry you’re having that issue. First thing, check the contacts on the camera and lens are clean. If they are, I’d say updating the firmware on both the camera and lens is the next step (you need a usb dock to update the lens, or we can do it for you). If still no joy, we’d need to take a look at the lens ideally to check the contacts, but that would mean bringing it in or sending it in to us. Let us know how you get on

The only downside I found is size. I use the Sigma 40mm 1.4 (it is a big beast) with my R6 II and recently shot a wedding with it. It performed beautifully and I just love the 40mm focal length. Maybe RF glass is a bit faster but I have found that the 40mm on the R6 II is fast enough for a wedding so there is that. I will probably get the 28mm or 14-24mm from Sigma next. :)

Tons of third party EF lenses and cant wait for R5 II.

While Sigma makes wonderfully optically good glass, many, including me, have reported issues with autofocus on Canon RF mount bodies. My 150-600 Contemporary would pulse back and forth while trying to focus and this resulted in a very low keeper rate for my bird photographs. In some situations, the autofocus works well, in others not so much. Eventually, for me, the "not so much" won out. As for the comments around Canon lifting the embargo on third party makers of RF glass, I actually don't agree. The technology is so sophisticated now that Canon should have the privilege of exploiting their huge investment for at least a reasonable time - isn't it a 20 year patent for pharmaceutical brands? And I love that my new Canon long lens operates so truly seamlessly with my RF body.

Unfortunately the 150-600 sigma pulsates so badly with the canon R5. Beauty of a lens for the price, just not compatible with RF camera bodies.

18-35 f1.8 does not work on Canon R5C

Isn't there a crop in factor?

@jimcastile1905

Жыл бұрын

The crop factor depends on sensor size. On Canon APS-C sensors you "get extra reach" thanks to the crop factor. Focal lengths are ALWAYS stated as the full frame equivalent first. Even lenses designed specifically for crop sensors. For instance the Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 (one of my favorite lenses on my old Canon T6) would be multiplied by 1.6 to arrive at the equivalent of a 38.4mm focal length on a full frame camera. Now let's say you're shooting landscapes with a crop sensor camera and you are starting to want to get wider FOV you would DIVIDE the focal length to find out the crop equivalent for a full frame. Say you want to have an image that emulates a 21mm full-frame landscape. What focal length do you need for your APS-C sensor? Divide 21 by 1.6 to arrive at 13.125. You would need to find a lens described as 13 or 14mm.

This video review does not reflect my personal experience with Sigma lens on Canon. My Sigma 150-600 c worked great on my Canon 6D. Now that I am using the Canon R6, this lens no longer communicates and responds like it did or like it should . Using the same Sigma 150-600c lens on my Canon R6, it misses 30-50% of shots. I often have to use the MO focus ring to help the lens autofocus kick in. Sometimes the autofocus will not kick in at all. Pulsing in the eye AF is also a problem. I'm truly disappointed with the way this beautiful lens is acting on the mirrorless camera.
