Why I bought the SIGMA 28-45 f/1.8 DG DN Lens (Sony E-mount) - First Impressions

Фильм және анимация

I discuss why I bought the Sigma 28-45 f/1.8 DG DN Lens for Sony E-mount and I compare it vs the Sony 24-70 GMII and the Sony 24-50G lens. I disuss the differences between 24mm vs 28mm, f/1.8 vs f/2.8, and I discuss going into APSC crop mode on the Sigma 28-45 to get close to 70mm range. I also discuss why APSC Crop of 45mm to 67.5mm at f/1.8 will yield a very similar overall look as 70mm f/2.8 full frame.

    In my experience there is more bokeh difference from f2.8 to f1.8 than from f4 to f2.8. Sometimes f4 shot can be misinterpret as f2.8 shot. but when you use an f1.8 lens, it is very distinctly that the background is bluer than f2.8.

    I will follow this man! Im buying this because im new to sony and only have 1 lens which is the 20mm. Having that zoom range is cheaper than buying 3 prime lenses and ive seen the reviews that showed them sharper than some of the primes to boot! There are also many situations that your framing only needs a little zoom adjustment to nail that perfect shot which makes the zoom range a feature! I wont use it outside for family purpose tho!

    I've been wanting to sell my 35 GM for a while now because it just doesn't get used much at all anymore -- the Tamron 35-150 pretty much scratches that 35mm prime itch at f/2, and the added zoom at f/2.8 is amazing for event coverage. This lens has me very intrigued, but I'm still not totally sure how much sense it would make in my workflow and with how I shoot. I pretty much shoot weddings with 3 lenses: the Tamron, the 24-70 GM2, and the 24 GM. I don't have any gaping holes in my kit but I also know there are times I'd love having that f/1.8 for the dance floor, but then I worry 24mm vs 28mm isn't wide enough. Tough decisions! Might just have to rent one and try it to know for sure. I think that realistically, I'll probably end up selling the 35GM and the 24-70 f/2.8 in favor of the 24-70 f/2 GM that's been rumored for a while.

    The thing is that at F1.8 you are already blurred (your shoulders). So separation actually is more pronounced at F2.8. I've done ton of experiments between different focal lengths and different F-stops, and for talking head (portrait) F2.8 seems the best for background separation. Sure bokeh is more pronounced at F1.8, but separation looks better at F2.8, because the talent is fully in focus so it's cut out better from the blurry background. Of course for medium, american or full body shot that's a different story. F1.4 is then better, but only if lens is sharp wide open. Sometimes it's better to close the aperture a bit to get better background separation if lens is not very sharp wide open ....

    @@nVuFilms Depends then on definition of the separation. I've tend to use every lens wide open, but after experimenting I'm usually using F2.8 for headshots (photo and video). Of course if the background is 1 meter behind the subject faster aperture will help, but if is 2 or more meters F2.8 is enough. Unless there is enough light :D.

It happened on my Sony A7S3, icon show MF, aperture show "--". I did check the AF/MF toggle, the AF ring on the len... During the issue, i could not even manually focus the len. The only way to fix it was unmount the len and re-mount again. On / off camera , take off battery wont help. And this issue happened like every 15 mins... so frustrated. Any my A7S3 worked well the rest of other len, 24.70 GMii, 50 GM1.2 , Sigma 85, 70-200 GMii etc... Did this issue ever occur with you? Do you think i got the lemon... ?

If I was in a situation where I need tighter focal length, I can just switch to my FX30. (Regardless of what other lens and be APSC cropped to whatever). Keep in mine this lens is f/1.8 and APSC cropped will give it a look of a 2.7. whereas when you crop f/2.8 native you are getting an f/4.5 look. The argument that you can APSC crop the 28-45 is very viable because it is 1.8 and you can get an identical look of a 70mm f/2.8 with it.
