Aye dude, just wanted to let you know my favorite shot was the one you were sitting on the dock towards the end. Awesome shot man

Holy cow, these photos are just... chef's kiss! Love it!

Thank you so much!

So cool seeing you use the 14mm. I've had the Sigma Art 14mm 1.8 in my kit for over a year now and the images always give a unique feeling only captured with a lens like this!

Definitely! It can really change a location and make places you’ve been to a lot feel different

Love the wide angle gives such a cool look! 📸👏

Sick photos dude! Sigma really kill it with their primes.

Beautiful shots

Street photo in hotel is great, the one on the floor (3:55). Love composition, lines, and colors. As hotelier I appreciate it even more hehe. Others are great as well. Keep it up Evan!

Very good video and interesting point that the industry reached a plateu the last decade. Liked and suscribed.

Awesome colors. 🎉🎉🎉

I bought one for Astro and it has been great, unmatched for one take (long exposure) shots even. Now I find myself pulling it out at the track when I'm doing motorsports...just to add some more creative (different) shots for the day. Only 4 or 5 images (compared to 2-3K) so it it is still more of a niche lens.

You created some amazing images with that thing. Looks CHONKY

Love those shots of the staircases, and the internal hotel shots! Great work. Grear lens, and seems reasonably priced, compared to what the branded versions would costs!

​@@JonasBecker essentially non existent, best ultra wide angle lens for astro available, by an absolute mile.

Evan, these are fantastic. Now i am wishing I had a camera that takes this glass. It is to bad Sigma has given up on MFT.

Check f4 some of the Sigma lens get soft at f4 fit some reason. There was a video I was watching showing this issue with the Sigma 135mm F1.8 vs the Sony 135mm.

1. Sigma art is 🔥 2. That 3rd image in the tunnel downtown is 🔥 3. Tryna link w/ y’all boys to shoot 4. Bravo on this video too

How much of the success of these photos comes from not the lens but the Leica? What video camera were you following it around with? What lense was on it? Great photos!!!

Unbelievable amount of great images and edits here. However, the perspective in most of the images looked surprising, were the images cropped? Well square ones for sure, but rest?

Is it better than my Nikon 10.5mm APS-C fisheye? I've been looking to upgrade since it's the only lens I own and people keep complaining that their wedding photos are only in fisheye and I don't know what to do

@RanftEvan

11 ай бұрын

Haha wait fisheye wedding photos are not in high demand these days?!

I have the sigma 14mm f1.8, do you think it’s worth the upgrade ?

Do you need an adapter for the Leica?

Buying a new lens is the best feeling 😎 3:15 is banger 🔥

Dang, I really need a full frame camera soon. I still have an smaller crop on my a6300.

If you’re switching systems why not stay with the L-Mount alliance with a Panasonic S5 or other Lumix full frame?

İ test it for video, but too much distortion in the corners. So I went to Sigma 20mm 1.4 wich I really like. But for photography the 14mm is a special lense, it's really good.

Great video , Thank you so much. How is 14 vs 14-24 Nikkor compares sharpness wise ?

It’s hard to say exactly because it’s 2 different cameras. But I would say the same if not better, but the only way to truly know would be have them both on the same body. I’ve made photos at the Marriott with both lenses and I preferred the 14 prime images

Thank you for the quick reply. Have an amazing Weekend Man@@RanftEvan

Awesome tests, Evan. Great lense Absolutely agree with the notion of plateauing in regards to some camera technology. I think that Sigma and Tamron have been two companies that have always been on the edge of innovating some of the stuff that we've already seen many times before I think it's because they don't have super advanced technology like ai eye-tracking and focusing or 8K raw video that they have to put in cameras in order to make a good product instead they dump all of their XP into specing out their lenses. 😂😂

Agreed! It was refreshing to use something for photography that really felt new and innovative. Especially when the photos and performance backed it up

Turn off exposure preview for SL when you in lowlight or using flash, helps it AF way better!

@RanftEvan

Aye thanks! Going to try that

Those parking lot photos kind of look sci-fi like a cyberpunk movie.

Does the lens allow for ND filters? When I’m shooting landscape, I often use ND filters to adjust for conditions.

I looked it up the other day and it looks like nisi has made a mount for it. It’s pricey but at least the options in there

You can put ND gel/filters on backend of the lens or in front of camera sensor.

What about Sony 20mm 1.8 ??

I know what to save up for now...

woooah woooow

I’m a sigma fan but the size of the lens kept me from buying it and got the sony GM instead.

Kept waiting for you to comment/compare it to the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 AF-S on your desk Evan. Astrophotography would be the obvious use case. No reason for landscape shooters to lug this beast around. And softness at f/1.4? Of course. That's why I rarely shot wide open for commercial work. Just. Too. Risky.

Why not mention the GM 14mm by Sony ?

Picture a 3:15 is my favorite

You’re the truth, thanks for being here!

#Canon you aren't offering anything like this. Time to open up your RF system or I like everyone else are moving to a competitor who allows us to use an amazing lens like this natively!

Sorry it’s a good lens butbthats about it

Not my system but this glass looks sooo good!
