  • The Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 lens has been highly recommended since the day it came out, which was 10 years ago... but is it still worth it?

    I love your channel! The reviews are genuine, wholesome, and informative 🥰 I’ve used this lens on both my m50 and r7. The lens noise was definitely a problem for me. But the image quality is definitely unmatched! Great video 🤎 never stop please.

      Do you think 35mm is not enough? Should i just get 24-70mm?

  • @OceanicNASA
    @OceanicNASA Před 3 měsíci +2

    Yup. It is a bit nosy when shooting video. Had to use portal sound recorder.
    My other con is the native EF-M adapter. I find it to be a bit slow with the Sigma 18-35mm on my Canon M series. I do wish Canon made a better one or had some sort of software update.

      Do you have to use an adapter when shooting with the R7, if it's made for APS-C sensor?

      The zoom lens will give you a bit more flexibility, the 30mm will be more portable.

    That was a great review of a truly great versatile lens. I use it all the time with my Canon R7 and although on the heavy side the results far outweigh the weight.

    I have M5 with combo 24mm EF-S and 50mm, drawback is to interchange lenses and lack of wide-angle. Anyway long live series M. You mentioned you shoot weddings, did you grade colour or just use profile in camera?? Thanks

      @@AndrewKnepper Thanks, normally I use neutral profile and make adjustments in video editor. I guess is the best. Sometimes I use Cinestyle for the look, although I end up increasing contrast and saturation and Im not very convinced.

    Hey, great review! I am really doubting wheter to get this lens for my m50. Portability and weight is what is holding me back. You mentioned you would rather recommend prime lenses. Which one would you recommend? Already have the nifty fifty. Thanks in advance!

    • @AndrewKnepper
      @AndrewKnepper  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Yeah! For portability and price you can't beat the Sigma 16mm, 30mm, and 56mm. They all are a native M-mount and have a super fast f1.4 apature. I'd recommend any of those lenses and I have reviews on the 16mm and the 30mm, so feel free to check those out!

    I have the 1dx mk 3 which is full frame. Would this work for it?

    • @AndrewKnepper
      @AndrewKnepper  Před měsícem

      Yes it would mount to your camera, however you will have vignetting. I think there is a way in settings to crop the sensor in to make it equivalent to an APS-C sized sensor but I'm not particularly sure how that works.

  • @PaulTiberghien

    just to confirm, the lens doesn't have any kind of stabilization, correct? asking since my a6400 body doesn't have in-body stabilization:(

      Hey! I haven't experienced many issues with the auto focus, but I do have newer cameras and it probably depends on the camera more than the lenses. That being said it has been a great lens from my experience!
