Maybe was an specific sigma lens or not well firmware updated …. I would love to have your view on this. Thanks for amazing job. I’m a subscriber. Take care.

    I still find amazing how well the Sigma lens holds against the (extremely over priced) RF lens in terms of image quality and sharpness. Also although noisier I didn't find its AF unusable at all, moreover that in a real scenario a shotgun mic wouldn't be closely pointing at the lens motors in a silent environment. Last thought, I would say that the choice is not even about the budget and I would give to the cheaper, older 3rd party lens an advantage in manual focusing and versatility in real world run and gun scenarios, since the Canon lens tops at 2.8 (thus gathering less than half of the light) having also a noticeable less shallow dof compared to the 18-35.

    Another thing I've noticed is that on the clip at minute 8:36 the shadows in the Canon lens looks rather lifted having also warmer and more contrasty (and brighter, despite the waveform) look compared to the 18-35, giving the feeling of a different (internal?) image processing that however I didn't notice as much in the previous samples of the trees.

    Thanks for this great comparison, I started off with the Sigma and just moved to the Canon. Certainly not an easy decision as both are very nice. The main thing for me was like you said the handling of the 15-35mm on the C70, when using for any extended period of time is much more comfortable to hold. I got the C70 pretty late in it's life cycle and at the time didn't have the budget for RF L lenses so the Sigma was the only choice at that time. It's why I love the C70 and it's versatility, there are so many ways to get great images out of it.

    Now that the crop sensor Sigma 18-50 f2.8 is out for the RF mount, it seems like the ideal lens between these two if it's on the C70 - native RF mount, same f2.8 as the Canon, cheaper at $599, much longer at the long end (basically a 24-70), smaller than either of these setups. is there anything wrong with that setup? I've read that maybe the Sigma RF lenses won't cover the S35 sensor, but can't seem to confirm this anywhere, but it seems like the older Sigma EF Crop lenses worked ok. Thoughts?

    Focal lengths (correction) relative to R5 : *Sigma DCI/UHD: 24.7-48.1* *Canon DCI/UHD: 20.6-48.1* DCI sensor width C70: 26.2mm, R5: 36mm; crop factor: 1.374x Both C70 and R5 crops in from DCI to get UHD, so technically when comparing R5 and C70, *C70’s UHD crop factor is also 1.374x* because R5 also crops in a bit. But if you are comparing C70 UHD to A7s3 (35.7mm width): new crop factor 1.4534x *Sigma UHD: 26.2-50.9* *Canon UHD: 21.8-50.9* This is only when compared to A7s3/FX3/FX6.

    @@Josh_Sattin I just edited my values. Canon publishes the crops as 1.43 and 1.53 but those are technically wrong, but also right. They are the diagonals. My numbers are from C70 spec sheet, R5 spec sheet and Sony camera spec sheets. I calculated these crops using only *width* not diagonal since FF 36x24 and DCI/UHD have different aspect ratios which should be taken into account. Gerald Undone did a video on this a long time ago. He also suggested using widths, not diagonal.

    Not really, you do not get what you pay for. RF lenses tend to focus breathe extremely. I would not want that on a 3x priced lens. And I would like to see a real sharpness comparison. Because Sigma is sharper than some top cinema glass. Canon do also have some sharp lenses, of course. Also you can adapt Sigma to a lot of mounts because of the longer flange distance. Do you see yourself using the RF in 20 years? I do see myself using the Sigma in 20 years.

    Long story, I almost bought an old canon 16-35 2.8 for really cheap. I had a few days to play around with it and fell I love with the focal range. In the end, all of the dated features on it kept me from buying it. Then I went down the rabbit hole of trying to decide between the sigma and the RF 15-35. I’ve watched this video like 5 times and it made me pull the trigger on the RF 15-35. I just kept feeling like I was going to be disappointed with all of the compromise I’d be making by going with the sigma. It’s a great lens, but you’ve really sold me on the 15-35.
