Gerald, I love your in depth reviews. I've been looking over these exact lenses to use with my Canon 80D for a KZread studio and I've been struggling with choosing between them. I've watched many videos but yours is the first to show them objectively side by side. Also filming this video with the winning lens sold me! As a side note I totally love your intro. I've shared it with others and played it many times. It put a smile on their faces as well as mine:D Great job and thanks for all your efforts.

I have to say, I'm a really big fan of my sigmas. I like them a lot more than my native Sony lenses. Quality glass, good autofocus. Only lacks IBIS (but my camera has it so I'm good)

I was a huge fan of the 18-35 Sigma, I used it both on my T7i and my E-M5 Mk II. I've since switched to the Sony A7 II though. and changed my go to lens to the Zeiss 55 1.8, I do miss the Sigma sometimes though.

I have a canon t7i. I’m mostly aiming to do fashion photography/editorials, occasional birthday, graduation, and weddings. Which lens do you guys recommend?

Great video Gerald! What camera did you use for the video?

This was extremely helpful!

Do you know if I can get AFC in the Panasonic S1 if I pair the sigma 24-35 with the MC-21 adapter?

what do you think of using the sigma 24-35 with canon speed booster on red komodo over the 18-35. i can also use it on the canon r5c or s1h?

Nice review Gerald! However at 11:14 it seems 24-35 has apparent focus breathing, did you mistakenly mixed it with 35 1.4? Thank you!

Awesome description! Makes me a happy 18-35 owner :)

Awesome video Gerald! Made up my mind to give the 24-35mm lens a try. :) Love the Art lenses but was really on the fence with that one (compared to getting the prime versions) (The fact that it keeps the aperture constant through the zoom range is great as well.) Thx again :)

You're video is awesome: I love the characteristics break down and competition and how thorough you were! As a tip, I'd say you could relax a bit and allow more humor in. I've never seen a filmmaker go into such details in a comparison, though; which I found super helpful - thanks! 😄

Hi! tell me pls) Im use 18-35 with metabones 0.71 and gh5 , its a realy great setup, but sometimes i need more long lens. How much the quality/sharpen/color will deteriorate with sigma 24-70? (if i use both lens on maximally open aperture (1.4 and 2.0 with booster)

Thank you! Very helpful indeed! 👌🏻

Great review, thanks.

Hi Gerald. I’m a bit confused with the focus breathing test. When you do the autofocus test on the 24-35 lens i looks like, there is quite a lot of focus breathing. But during the focus breathing test there is very little. How is this possible?

Hey Gerald, so i used the bmpcc4k, metabones XL and sigma DC 18- 35 there's a bit vignetting in 4k dci ...but in UHD is way less. my question is if i use the Sigma DG 24- 35 will the vignetting disappear in 4k DCI? what would you suggest?

@geraldundone

5 жыл бұрын

Yeah, it should. XL for 24-35 is fine. For perfect 18-35, you need the Ultra. But if you're fine with the amount of vignetting with the XL, then no biggy. Pretty easy to fix in post too.

Question: I wanted to take a bunch of lenses(35mm,50mm,24mm) for my sony a7iii. I shoot commercial Videos and sometimes Portraits too. Should I be taking manual lenses(Rokinon/Samyang) or native Sony(or Sigma ART) lenses? This dilemma arouse from an uncertainty of whether I would stick to Sony in the future or change my body brand for an upgrade. Taking a manual lens would make me carry the glass for ages, which the native mostly would not. What do you best suggest? You could either answer, or probably make a video about it =) !

You could write a book on the nerdier aspects of photography/videography and I think many of us would buy it.

i have a Canon R8. What sigma lens i can use with this camera for photos? Thanks.

Hey, I am hoping you could help me. For some Reason I wound up with an a1 with no native glass, meaning that atm I adapt my 18-35 and 135 Sigmas via an MC11. I have focussing sounds loud enough that I fear for the lenses, much louder than what you have at 12:18. I tried the lenses on a a7III, and on a a7IV, where they did not show that behaviour. Maybe I have a setting wrong? Do you have any advice for me in this regard?

Will the18-35 on a blackmagic 6k camera with a super 35 sensor?

This is the best overkill I have enjoyed. Thanks for doing my homework!

Great video. I currently have the Pana-Leica 12-60mm f2.8 that I kept from my GH5, and now using it on my BMPCC4K. So, would you still recommend I pick up the Sigma 18-35?

@geraldundone

5 жыл бұрын

Yes, but you'll need a speed booster, so factor that into the budget as well. After the 0.71x reduction is applied, you'll end up with 13-25mm f/1.3. Much better for darker scenes, just not as long as the 12-60mm. And you'll get mechanical focusing, which is easier to pull than the electronic stuff.

Which one would be best for portraits?

I don't understand English but I can translate, from what I observed in your tests 18-35mm is the best lens in sharpness, it has the best color gamut, is it better than 24-35?

Is it true the 18-35 has a full-frame equivalent viewing angle of a 29mm-53mm lens?

mr undone! what should i do?? i ordered the tamron 17-28 for sony E mount. but i feel like 17 isnt wide enough. not that i shoot wide all that often, but i still do from time to time. i had the 16-35 f4 and the 16mm end didnt feel wide enough. im pretty sure id end up doing something stupid like buying an ultra wide lens, and not use it all that much. so despite the fact that i've been pleased with tamrons 28-75 and based on reviews, it seems like the 17-28 is about as good, and the price of it is hard to beat, i'm considering cancelling the order and getting the sigma 14-24 f2.8 instead. on its own, the sigma costs ~$500m more than the tamron, but like i said ill end up buying another wider lens, because... reasons. also im an idiot. the tamron+ilaowa 10-18 (which is TOO wide) would end up costing a little more than the sony 12-24 f4, which is another lens i considered. i think i should get the sigma, its the best compromise, no? its not as wide as the sony, but id get 3mm on the wide end over the tamron, and even though everyone says you dont necessarily need you wide angle lenses to be that fast... i think id rather keep the extra stop of light instead of getting overly greedy with the more range on the wide end. thanks for your help! i'll make sure to press the dislike button 3(?) times? :D ok.. apparently i cant math... i meant to say ill hit the dislike button 5 times! you the GOAT of camera stuff on YT. you deserve it. ;P

THOUGHTS ON 20mm f1.4

I am excited for this video!!

The crop of the Sigma 18-35 for My black magic pocket 6K is perfect for my needs, since it’s not a full frame sensor. Does anyone know of any other lenses with the same crop of the sigma 18-35mm?

Thank you for investing your time and energy on the tests, review ans youtube video.

wow this is an awesome test and one i have wondered about for a while. How primes stack up against zooms with the same focal length. I dont know if you do already, but I'd love to see you continue this across manufacturers as well. Is the voigtlander 35 f1.4 better than the sigma 18-15 @35 f/1.4? So many combos!

The 18-35 is a must own lens, especially for a first time upgrade from a kit lens. I use my to do video's, which with the Sigma 18-35 is amazing!!!! I use it with my Sony A7III as well as my Canon EOSR, and its fantastic on both! Again, I get really great video results with the lens!!!!

Why many of people who has bmpcc 6k choose 18-35 mm, it doesn't for full frame camera ?

Do you recommend 35mm f/2 on 90D?

Best one for car photography?

Interesting video and got me wondering about few things: so in an MFT mount the 18-35 with 0,71x booster compared to 24-35 with 0,64x booster is pretty much the same in focal length and image quality, but the latter fixes the parfocal issue? Did you happen to notice any quality difference with a full frame prime being used with an MFT mount with 0,71x booster compared to the 0,64x?

@geraldundone

5 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Yeah, it's pretty close. The 18-35 is a bit wider, which some people might enjoy. And I do think you lose a bit of sharpness taking the bigger lens (24-35) and reducing it even more with the 0.64x. The results are good, but the 18-35 with the 0.71x is a bit better in my opinion, and you can adjust the speedbooster to address the parfocal. It's what I settled on and am using now. Good question!

I think this covered every scenario 🤗

I just picked up the 20mm f/1.4 Art as a gimbal lens on my EOSr. Shooting 4K gets me close to 35mm with the crop and it is sick.

I struggled with the 24-35 vs the 35mm when I went to full frame but ended up going with the prime as it like the extra stop of DOF for stills. I actually ended up selling all of my APSC lenses when I upgraded but kept the 18-35 and still use it for video for both cameras. I don’t think I’ll ever find a great enough reason to part with it.
