    I came to see about the 70mm f/2.8 and found a masterclass on macro photography. Very grateful.

      Brilliant Makro teaching content for free, only thing I didn't like was too high of ISO setting, the quality was lost.

    Very highly informative! Time for an update with Heather "Because I wiggle" Larkin!

    Awesome video! I'm definitely thinking of purchasing the 105mm.

    That little birdy looks sick. 😅

    Very informative video. I wonder if why all the shots at such a a high iso 2000 and up. Why nothing lower than looks like like there was a plenty of of light.

    • @arpadernyes
      @arpadernyes Před 2 lety +2

      Because they closed the aperture down to 5.6 or lower most of the time, otherwise your depth of field is so shallow that nothing will be in focus 😅

      Another thing is possibly using Auto ISO. The first time I used Auto ISO, I was surprised at how high the camera choose. Overcast day, about 5pm in summertime shooting up at an osprey in a tree. To me it seemed like plenty of light, but the camera chose ISO 2500.

    What I noticed you are shooting still subject (like a mushroom) and yet your shutter speed is 1/2000 and your ISO is 2000 and AF is 4.5. Absolutely makes no sense to me. I would go for higher quality photo here, by reducing shutter speed to 1/80 or even 1/60 (the subject is not moving) and take ISO down as much as possible (in perfect world to 100) and increase my AF perhaps to 7.0 so I can capture more details of the subject. Its all about balance.

    • @thegroove2000

      I was thinking the same but maybe that badass camera can handle such a high iso.

    • @thegroove2000
      @thegroove2000 Před 2 lety

      Or even use a tripod.

    How you think will be the perfomance between 40mm macro vs. 105mm macro ?

    • @sigmaphoto
      @sigmaphoto  Před 2 měsíci

      We don't make a 40mm macro lens, so we can't compare performance, but the focal lengths are quite different. Comparing them at 1:1 reproduction, you will have a much wider viewing angle with a 40mm lens, while a 105mm lens will give you a tighter composition with distracting background elements reduced.

    Ich wollte etwas über einen Vergleich der 70mm zur 105mm erfahren? verstehe leider nichts.

  • @peterslagmolen
    @peterslagmolen Před rokem +1

    I can NOT watch this pictures taken with ISO 4000 come on!!

  • @highwayman1224
    @highwayman1224 Před 2 lety

    Were you manual focusing on any of those pictures or were you using autofocus all the time?

    • @sigmaphoto
      @sigmaphoto  Před 2 lety +1

      AF with the focus limiter properly set and single point focus zone.

  • @mojmakroswiat-mymacroworld2959

    I have a 105 mm Sigma Macro. He takes pictures with the lens and is very good. The photos will be published on my channel.

    @rickfuzzy Před 8 měsíci

    The noise ruined what were otherwise so many good photos. Why shoot at 4000 shutter speed with 4000 ISO, you surely don't need 4000 shutter speed for these photos?

  • @user-hr3lj2zw9p
    @user-hr3lj2zw9p Před 2 lety

    There is no video in 4k resolution in 2021. There are no links to the original raw photos. This is a big omission. The lens test is not informative. Why didn't they use a flash, but used a high ISO value?

    • @4Kandlez
      @4Kandlez Před 2 lety +4

      This wasn't a tutorial about technical perfection, the description says "a relaxing photo walk" and it was interesting to see how you can get great macro shots without lugging around a bag full of gear, and just using natural light. If your camera can take clean high ISO's why not use it so you can have a fast shutter speed to freeze any hand held movement

    • @vincelangella

      @@4Kandlez Finally a sensible comment. In 2023 you can't be afraid to shoot at high ISO, modern mirrorless cameras and noise reduction software work wonders.
