Should you buy the SIGMA 18-35mm f1.8 for the BMPCC6K Pro? (SIGMA 18-35mm f1.8 DC Art Lens REVIEW)

Фильм және анимация

A Review of the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 ART Lens BUT is it still worth buying in 2023? I shot a music video on this lens for the first time to answer that question. SPOILER! It's pretty good!

    I have a bmpcc 6K and the SIGMS 19-35 lens. So far I like the pair. Thanks for the video and review. What other lens do you recommend for the BMPCC 6K?

    Hey Jason, great question! I recommend the Meike 35mm prime lens EF mount BUT it seems you already have a 35mm so maybe the Meike 80mm to really get focal length variety.

    Hi Jarod. I was thinking of getting the EF-S one for my bmpcc6k pro but a lot of people are saying because of the super 35 sensor that the 18-35 is not really 18-35?

  • @jarodparkerdirector

    @jarodparkerdirector

    10 ай бұрын

    I would say don’t get the EF-S as that mount is even more designed for APS-C sensors (which the BM is not) why don’t you just get the EF mount like I did?? There is probably a slight crop with the Blackmagic sensor but you can see in the video I can still achieve wide results

    Hey jarod. Can you please elaborate on what you said about the sigma and the sensor dying out? You mean using the sigma in a aps c right? Im getting kind of outfocus image with my sigma and bmpcc6k pro but bm is s35.

    So the Sigma 18-35mm was meant to be on a APS-C sensor and when I did my research it seemed people thought the APS-C sensor was dying out in favour of S35 and Full Frame So why get this lens if you want something future proof with APS-C sensors dying?? However, I think it works absolutely fine with my BMPCC6K Pro which has an S35 sensor

    Hiya, great question, it's the 1/4 black pro mist filter from K&F. Link below: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08T66J7GR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Good filter but you can tell it's a cheap one and I've stopped using it as I feel I have more control in the edit.

    I use Dehancer (digital to film converter) I did a video on it down below: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a6qdx6-En7eYk9o.htmlsi=ymAxVusV48Vv-fpB If you are interested make sure to use my discount code: JARODPARKER10 It's really flexible and customisable and if you just want things like bloom / halation then you can just edit that + grain etc. Dehancer: www.dehancer.com/shop/video/aepr I've just used it to edit my short film so I'm honestly saying it's a good investment for narrative projects :)

    What do you shoot mainly?? 18mm - 35mm is really flexible but a 35mm prime will be great at 35 but you’re limited So all depends what you shoot or looking to shoot??

    I think I’m the only person with this setup who finds the lens soft. Using focus assist, I hit focus with the eyes as the focal point, and it doesn’t seem sharp, even with no diffusion. Would love any thoughts if anyone else finds this, or maybe I got a dud lens.

    You can increase the amount of focus assist you want on screen so maybe go to 30% and not crop the image AND don’t go all the way to f1.8 stay at f2 or f2.3 to stay sharp
