- Real world review of the Sigma 19mm f2.8 lens for micro four thirds. most affordable lenses have trade offs in quality, Ive found the DN series to be a pleasant surprise especially in image quality, This review was filmed with the Panasonic Lumix GH1 and includes numerous photo and video examples.

Hey man. I just wanted to say thank you for this review. You opened my eyes just a little bit more to the world, not just the lens. That doesn’t happen often at this degree I feel now, and I can’t quite pinpoint why this moved me so much. But I want to show you my appreciation, so once again thank you, and keep it up.
Zachary Smith Zachary you going to make me cry bro. LOL. I don't know what was going through my mind when I shot and edited this but maybe it all summed up in what I said at the end of the video. When we hear politicians talk they always talk about the middle class, no one ever speaks about lower class or poor folks. I guess those are the people I want to encourage and uplift to use their creativity because everyone else is covered. I really appreciate you taking the time to say that because this particular video took me over a month to shoot and edit so knowing that is appreciated makes that time worth it. Respect
One of the best reviews. Very clear and to the point and effectively illustrated with helpful and creative images. Certainly an excellent model for other channels dealing with similar content.
Hello thank you so much. This is an old video also. You may appreciate my Panasonic 25mm review from a few years ago as well
Great, professionally produced & all the important info' without too much dialogue or jazzy effects - to the core, well done! Thanks, Ray.
by far the best review on this lens and one of my favourite reviews of all time - keep it up
Your delivery is so warm and sincere without the need for gimmicks and exaggeration seen in so many others. Great work. You have a new subscriber in me
Hello Qcii thanks so much for that. yes in everything in life its best to be yourself. Peter Mckinnon can say Pwhatsuup!!! genuinely because hes being himself lol. what camera are you using now?
@@Raychristofer I've been using Canon EOS systems for a few years but just grabbed an Olympus E-PL7 to play around with and maybe make that switch to M43. Canon gear with the clunky adaptors and lack of lens options is a killer. M43 seems so compact and easy. Aside from the kit 14-42 the Sigma 19mm is the first lens I've ordered, ultimately swayed by your review
@@qcii that's awesome man Canada's Great to you may find that the Canon colors call Superior so don't sell it. By the way look at my 25 mm 1.7 review if you're going to be shooting people or street it is a must-have
@@Raychristofer yes, will take a look. a friend has the 1.4 which I've seen first hand and he has great results with it. I've also got my eyes on the sigma 30mm 1.4 so plenty of research and testing to do. will get my hands on this 19mm first though and have a good play
Yes! This IS inspirational. The Sigma 19mm was the first lens I could purchase and I really appreciate watching you use it and seeing the sample pics for ideas I can get with mine.
Good morning that's awesome my brother. Thanks so much. Feel free to share your pics or better yet I challenge you when you get comfortable with it to do your own video review. No pressure
Hey Ray, keep the videos coming, I like your style of reviews.
Christian Kemper thanks Chris your welcome
You managed to give a good sense of what the lens is like to live with. Everyday pros and cons and not just reeling off data. Cool review.
rowej1000 hey thank you Roger. Respect
one of the best honest reviews ever uploaded here. even relevant nowadays. thank you sir.
That ending really hits the soul.
Good work man
Haha hey thanks man, from looking at my analytics most folks dont watch till the end. been too long since Ive done a lens review.
Nice review! your way of speaking is really calm and nice to listen to
Thanks Kid Laazer I appreciate it, I dedicate this review to you. more coming soon I shot alot of footage just need time to edit, respect.
That is the nicest photo equipment review I've ever seen. What a lovely person you are. Thank you.
Hello Tom thanks a lot my man. I shot this years ago. definitely check out my Panasonic 25 mm 1.7 review I did a few years ago also I would put it head-to-head with a Leica lens any day. Good looking out
Not one to comment often, but this was a great video. Genuine, helpful and an easy watch! Thank you
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and check it out boss, yes it took me probably three weeks to shoot and edit this. If you like this lens look also at my Panasonic 25 mm review it can be had from time to time for $150 and it's an outstanding portrait and talking head lens
Very clear and easy to understand your excellent review.
Hey thanks for your comment and stopping by. Of all the digital lenses I've tried after filming this review this is still the best manual focusing one ever.
Great review! I will be buying this lens now as the info you gave was just what I was looking for.
Hi Ray! I'm obviously a little late coming to this review, but I have to say that this is certainly one of the best lens reviews I've watched. Great work! Do more! Thanks brother!
Hello cash thanks so much my man. Yes this was one of the first videos I went all out. If you like this video check out my Panasonic 25 mm review also. Good looking out
Thats a great message at the end. I wasnt expecting that! It was a good review, no tricks or gimmicks, just nice sample images and usefull info, but then a great message too. Loved it. Subscribed.
Thanks Oliver that means alot. some of my most iconic images when i look back were taken on a mft camera made in 2009 or 10 with an inexpensive lens of no note. I cant take someone reviewing camera gear sitting at a table unboxing. makes me wanna pull my hair out. this is the only way I know how my man and thanks for appreciating it. Im working on 2 lens reviews and the g7 camera also the focal reducer. itll take time but will be informative as I can make it. thanks
Great review, love the closing comments it is not the equipment rather the talent. The camera is a mere tool to capture the vision of the artist. Keep it up! You need to do more reviews on the vintage lenses and the outcomes.
+Berti Munro Hey Berti thanks, when I was a kid the cool dude who used to cut my hair's name was also Berti. thanks for checking it out, and the fact that you made it to the end meant I did my job to keep it engaging. one of the hardest things for me to learn in shooting and editing is not to hold a cut too long and keep moving foreward. The only vintage lens I have worth reviewing is a German lens called a Meyer Gorlitz Trioplan, the "soap bubble" lens, look it up the bokeh wide open is one of a kind. was made in the sixties also. Im afraid if I review it the hipsters will drive the price up lol but I might. Im also working on a review of the ND filter from the vid and an affordable aluminum case with the customizable foam like a pelican case. I appreciate you subscribing also, Im never gonna ask anyone to subscribe or like my vids that would mean they suck lol. catch you later Berti
Very nice review Ray!
Alpha Male, hey man thanks, your channel is also pretty prolific for Sony owners looking for lens choices.
Great review for your very first lens. I love the message at the end and the shots of your daughter!
Paolo, thanks brother, my mission is to make my vids encouraging and engaging to keep you watching till the end. good lookin out, its good to have kids to photograph also. respect
Amazing review! Congratulations!
Thank you I appreciate that I shot this video a few years ago. Check out my Panasonic 25 mm lens review also
Fantastic review! Love your work.
Thanks Calvin putting together a decent review I've found takes a lot of time for me, Iusually shoot a little bit every day For a few weeks. I'm working on a focal reducer review now as well as car suction Mount for action cam. Stay tuned.
Nice review, and great message at the end!!! Was inspired, keep up the good work!!
kkpolice thanks kk I appreciate it. I put alot of work I to it. Keep fighting inequality.
Found this review very helpful. Liked and subscribed. Thank you
So glad man , took me weeks to put this together. I still use this lens. if you like this review check out my Panasonic 25mm 1.7 review I did maybe 2 years ago. outstanding, I would put it up against a leica any day, czcams.com/video/V0F-7Bdej7s/video.html
Great Job! Keep the reviews coming. Enjoy your style!
Andy Horvath Hey thanks Andy. Feel free to look through my other lens reviews also, if you dig this you might like the 25mm panny also. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
This video is exceptional. I love your voice and style. Great review. Thank you!
Hello thanks so much. Respect
Nice review and one of my favorite cars the Mazda Protegé! Glad I decided to try this lens out
This was by far one of the best reviews I've heard and seen. Keep it up sir!
+Seth Pearson Thanks alot Seth, If you read some of my comments youll know I hate unboxings theyre so lame and a waste of--- ugh sorry. Yes you cant review a lens sitting at a table talking. gotta get out there otherwise its not helping folks learn about the product. Im glad it helped you out. what gear are you using now?
Raychristofer I'm using the Sony a6300 with kit lens but my next purchase will be this one.
Excellent review and well done video. Subscribed. Keep em coming.
I appreciate it Billy the Kid. I wish I could do one a week but life gets in the way, Im working on a review of a russian vintage lense at the moment so stay tuned
I really appreciate this review - very helpful and well done!
Thanks for that comment. Glad it was helpful.
Very inspirational as always Ray.
Tre Parker thanks Trey, this is the first review I created where I purposely put a lot of work into it not knowing when I would be finished with the edit. Do me a favor tell Sigma to sponsor me. Thanks for taking the time to watch it all this lens needs is a wider aperture to be perfect
Thanks for this, great message at the end of the video.
The best review I have ever watched on youtube , keep it up.
+Magdi Gaafar Wow thanks Magdi, your taste in great videos is impeccable lol. hey I took alot of time to do this so it means alot. some channels try to put out a vid every week but I cant do that so I try make whatever I present be something I would want to watch. thanks
Fantastic review and well done. I am about to purchase this along with my a6000 and love the simplicity of your review. Beautiful shots and a GREAT message at the end.
Word up Muja, thank you, I do not like unboxings or reviews where a man sits at a table talking forever I want to pull my hair out. yes a lens has to be taken outside and shot in many different locations. its the only way bro. but it takes so much time to shoot and edit so a comment like yours is very encouraging. feel free to check the link to my flickr album for hi res photos. and feel free to share yours also, respect.
great review...loved your comment at the end totally in same boat. Starting out in photography .. lumix g7 here.. and this is my new lens. (60mm versión)
+Chilupian. CC&C Thanks Chilupian. cant go wrong with the G7. plz do a review when you feel comfortable Id like to see your work. the 60 should make a good portrait lens and get good bokeh.
Mundo Despierto the 60mm is sharper! I just ordered the 60mm🤗
Brilliant review. Your voice is really nice and professional. Very good. Greetings from Scotland. Subscribed
Thanks Renegade, I reckon if I have a subscriber from Scotland I have reached the holy grail lol. yes I realized early on its best to narrate the vid seperately and overlay it with relevant video clips, it sounds cleaner and saves ya'' from looking at my talking head the whole tyme. are you using MFT cameras also? I was trying to come up with a scottish joke about the song "Donald wheres your trousers" but the head is blank at the moment lol.
+Raychristofer Hi. Yes I have the Gx7 plus Oly 12-50 underestimated lens, plus Sigma 19,30 and 60 Art. Love M43 gear is the best for us. don't need huge bag just big pockets!! Cheers Ray to yourself and family bud. All the best
Best review I've seen regarding a M43 lens and camera... Your images were amazing and your thoughts were legit without all the garbage talking about how M43 is no good for portraits. The examples you show are stellar IMO. This video makes me want to invest in M43 and this lens. Thank you for sharing.
Didn't feel like your first review of the lens. Great job bro.
Hello Hartej thanks, I prepared a long time before starting to edit. I want folks to leave with no questions unanswered, respect and thanks for the comment.
Beautiful review! Very inspiring!
Thank you john glad it helped.
Great Video. Just bought one for my Olympus OMD em5 Mark II. Keep the videos coming!
+Pascal Fortin Word up Pascal, thanks for taking the time to comment, Thats a killer camera, not enough OMD cameras have the articulating selfie screen. respect.
That was an excellent review! Thank you.
Thank you Jim, glad it was helpful.
Well done Ray! Looks like you managed to reach more than 1 person with your closing comments. I'm on board. Just 6 months in and am looking for some budget friendly lenses for my Sony A6000.
Thanks again for your time.
Luis Your welcome bro. That Sony is supposed to be great for video from what I hear. Christian mate grab and YC imagings channels started out with them as well. I wish I knew more about that system to recommend more lenses but there's a lot to choose from. Don't neglect old vintage lenses as well for certain applications. I reviewed a few good ones on my channel
awesome review brother! I've been into photography for almost a year now and people like you are the reason! keep it simple and just go out and have fun!
Thanks Mohammed, if I had more time and more gear Id review more often.
Great Review Ray. I love your spirit.
Thanks Yann, I try to only review things I believe in that way it cant help but be sincere. good looking out
Great review, very clear and simple and I like your sentiment at the end. The photography is good too. Thank you.
Thank you that's one thing about me, I'm always thinking about The Underdogs out there, thanks for taking the time to check it out and leave your comment. It makes the weeks of shooting and editing this worth it
That's nice. There are a lot of underdogs out there who are full of potential and could add something good to the World if they had the chance.
I haven't looked at your other videos yet but I have subbed and will look as soon as I get a chance and look forward to more videos from you.
Cheers. Chris
Nice review, good to see quality images can be captured without having to spend a fortune, looks like a real value lens, thanks
Kevin Morris welcome Kevin. Glad it helped you. Manual focus is great too.
Loved the review Ray! Great video and stills really showcasing what this lens can do! I ordered all 3 of the sigmas and cannot wait to play around with them! Keep up the great work!
One Love Nate, I really appreciate that, to tell you the truth Sigma's gettin some sweet free advertising from this lol. but Nah, I created this for the love of it. youre the first I heard say theyre getting all three, it would be really smooth if you could also do a review comparing the three to each other. I think Sigma really should have made a wide angle and fisheye version of these, like a 12 and 8mm. only thing holdin em back from legendary status is the f2.8 but you cant have it all. feel free to check out my latest lens review, a vintage soviet lens, the Helios 44-2, I also put much time into that review. thanks for taking the time to comment.
+Raychristofer I will try my best to get something up on the trio!
Thanks for the review
Cool man thanks
My friend thank you for this review!!
Excellent review!! Keep it up!!
Thank you, I hope to make more in the future
Congrats, really good review, it´s nice find works as this video ... thanks !!!
You're welcome I'm glad it helped. This is one of the First videos I put a lot of time into producing and it's also one of the best manual focusing digital lenses you will find
hey Ray nice review ....your sir are inspirational
Big Phil, Like a brotha I love ya still. yeah theres folks down and out in the world, just want to give them some upliftment to help their creativity. glad it helped, some of my reviews bomb and some do ok, its hard to predict lol
Great review mate, thank you so much!
Awesome my man. Thanks for taking the time to watch and benefit.
Great review! Thank you!
Awesome thank you glad it was helpful. Definitely check out my Panasonic 25 mm review I did a few years ago as well it's roughly the same price but let's in more light and it's better for portraits
Really great review! top stuff!
Thank you sir. If you like this you might want to also look at my review of the Panasonic 25 mm 1.7. Thanks for checking it out
Great review, great philosophy. Thanks!
Thank you Hugh, I missed your comment by two months. I'm glad it helped.
Nice review. . Keep em coming 😉
pmay222 thank you bro
Great Review, have to buy one today for our Shooting Trip to Portugal this month!
Keep up!
Awesome Christian, if you have an online photo gallery Id like to see your results, Ive never been to Spain.
You can check out my Facebook page, there you can see my videos & photos of our roadtrips! Also here on youtube...
It's "Christian Maté Grab".
By the way, I'm not sure if I should buy the Sigma 19mm or the Sony 16mm 2.8..have you tried the Sony?
Christian Maté Grab Hey Christian no I havent been able to try the sony, Im using Panasonic so it wouldnt be compatible. maybe look at photo examples on Flickr to compare the two.
I’m off to Portugal later this year. I have a6000 kit lens....is this better for night and background blur than kit lens?
Great review! Thanks
Claudio Cortes thanks Claudio it's a great all-around lens. That and the Panasonic 25mm 1.7 are serious bang for the buck with great quality. Thanks for taking the time to comment
Love your videos man... Always interesting, well paced, and shot beautifully. Lenses are a tricky and personal thing to review, because it's often one of those things photo and video people have very strong opinions about. The video gives you a good idea of what the lens is capable of, and the limitations and bells and whistles it may not have. Anyway man, keep it up! You make great content!
+mhanlen1 Hey MH yeah thats how i feel about phone reviews, folks can start arguing in the comments they feel so strongly about a system, Im surprised my windows phone review is doing so well but it does have a few dislikes lol. I had this lens long enough though to know it inside out and only keep it real, hopefully theres notthing to really disagree with. when I saw how much effort you put into your flashlight reviews it showed its better to upload one proper vid a month instead of ten thrown together in 5 min. thanks for checking it out.
Yeah I agree. Although CZcams seems to favor quality over quantity when ranking videos it seems. I wish my stuff didn't take as long to do, but I feel like it's better because of it. I'd stop making videos, if wanted to be like the other bros out there.
Ello MH hour you. I see you're getting prolific. I don't know if I told you but. I completed a Soviet lens review last week. Very interesting you might get a kick out of checking it out when you have time.
man i thougt thats was another lens review for this beautiful lens for "us" the budget photolovers but in the end totally you got my attention... one of the most beautiful words... keep it real bro! SUBSCRIBED!!!
Thanks Lasonas, it is a great lens, one thing I learned though is it cant replace vintage lenses, this sigma is so perfect it doesnt have an artistic character which means sometimes I use older classics, feel free to check out my Helios 44-2 review. what camera are you using this on? I checked out your freedive vids I love the ocean also and have a scuba license.
I have the a6000 with Helios 44m and that's the only I have for now! And I can't complain it I love that lens!!! I purchase the 35mm 1.7 meike manual maybe I try a review when I get comfortable with it! Underwater I use GoPro 4silver!! Maybe someday I put the Sony underwater!! Thank you bro again!!
I know this is an old video now, but the colour rendition is beautiful. Excellent informative video
Best review of this lens I've seen.
Hello Thank you Bob, I put alot of time into shooting and editing it. this was my first lens review and I wanted to be thorough. glad it helped, I have a few more, feel free to check them out.
What a relaxing just good vibes video.
`Thank you Will, yeah man I was in the groove when i produced this, glad it helped. Ive got many other lens reviews if youre interested. respect
Very informative and well done review. Must say, I love your down-to-earth warm style of presentation. Thanks for posting this wonderful little escape from tech-speak.
You got it Ariel, thanks for the compliment. tech speak and unboxing's are for posers lol. If I had access to more lenses I would do it more often. I'll check out your channel.
+Raychristofer Ha - Nothing of much interest on my channel. I need to change that. Regarding the lens you reviewed here, your photos are just great.
Good job. Good narration .
Hey Thanks MB, Its alot easier to edit a vid when you have narration recorded and it sounds clearer than the inbuilt mic. takes weeks for me to put something like this together. appreciate your appreciation bro.
Great review!
Thanks Zarko. Glad it was helpful.
Really nice and useful review. Thanks!
Thanks ooh lala, are you shooting on micro 4 thirds also?
+Raychristofer Yes I do. I use the olympus om-d e-m 5.
Nice review. Thanks.
Thank you sir. Glad it was helpful
Great review, very informative!
Big Matt, thanks for that, and youre the 115th commenter, cool. are you using micro four thirds also?
+Raychristofer Oh really haha that's great! I'm using Sony E mount, but I want this lens for my Sony a6000 camera
good info and engaging execution. thanks!
Thanks skill, i appreciate every time someone makes the effort to. Comment. Honestly. It validates the hours of shooting. And production what gear are you shooting with the right now.?
+Raychristofer Most people don't comment. I comment a lot more now that I'm a youtube creator, but I still forget to like and comment sometimes. I have an nex5t and rx100m3. I need a wide angle for the nex and this looks perfect. I would upgrade to the A6300 if they had put image stabilization in it. I was very disappointed that they didn't. I'm pretty happy with the nex5t though really. rx100III is pretty awesome except for poor autofocus performance during video shooting and weak microphones. Neither has a mic input.
+SkillCult btw, I shoot mostly old manual lenses with the NEX. My favorite is an old Nikon 55mm 2.8 macro. Very sharp, great color and pretty cheap. The kit lens is garbage.
+SkillCult Bro your channel is the truth, you got alot of outdoor living stuff. wow. Im gonna check out the shell to lime melting. lot of sciency stuff there. thx
Great lens and great video, very helpful
Hello thank you, great lens for sure. Definitely check out my Panasonic 25mm 1.7 review its outstanding and cost about a hundred and fifty bucks if you catch it on sale.
@@Raychristofer ty for your quick reply , i actually own a 30 mm macro from olympus wich is close to that range, the image quality of my 30 mm is verry sharp, but that only for close ups, the sigma 19 mm is way much better option, i bought it recently and i don t know much about but im impress about the portrets quality,for me the image looks already in very good balance and just a bit saturate , i think the most I will use it will be for portrets, that dof + b&w fotos makes them look like was made with high end camera&lens
Excellent video man the best part was i could feel that you was being you got a 25mm f1.7 but want to pick this up too for my lumix G7
What's up tech Bomb yeah thanks I appreciate it. it's important to be yourself on your channel. You're right the 25 is great for what it is but its important to have wider options also. Thanks for taking the time to give your input.
Excellent! Thank you!
Gregory Jackson thanks I'm glad to be of service
Great video! Thank you!
Great and informative Video brother.
Thanks , Im working on the Pana 25mm 1.7 review as well as the 14-42 kit lens review. I just got the Lumix G7 and I have no idea where to start preparing a review for that lol. thanks for taking the time to comment this is one of my most successful reviews, along with the helios .
cracking review my friend and wow what a voice!!!!very morgan freeman like where I could listen for hours. nice vid and thanks for sharing
Outdoors Lifestyle hello outdoor lifestyle, thanks bro that's the best compliment you could have given. Feel free to check out my newer lens videos if you like this. I love review and camera gear. Thanks for taking the time to comment
yeah it shines through how passionate you are, already working my way through them and have to say i like the look of that fifine mic setup it performed very good especially for the price.
I hear you about the affordability issues that might keep some young talents out of the field. You make it clear in your review here that price ain't everything. I'm all about that! :) Nice job, my man!
+OneHarp Thanks One harp, that being said I do hope to upgrade my cam equipment at some time. youve got a cool harmonica channel, not enough young folk are turned on to it. then again that includes me cause Ive never made the time to learn it.
Great review man. I love that you know what it’s like -I’ve just bid on this lens on eBay because it’s cheap. You’ve convinced me.
Hey thanks man you can't go wrong with it. Definitely check out my Panasonic 25 mm 1.7 review also, if you catch it right you can get it for about a hundred and fifty bucks on sale.
Thanks for a great review :)
Thank you. Charlie I really need to get to 30 and 60 MM versions. I don't know why I'm pussyfooting around lol.
Impressive depth of knowledge, well articulated and yes, inspirational! God bless you, Ray, for your generous heart. And I bet that's your daughter... what a sweetie!
Natural V thanks, but I'm not worthy of all of that. Yes, trying my best to make a video that I myself would want to watch. Rather than a silly unboxing. Yes, my daughter is my right hand buddy thanks. What led you to find this video? And what are you shooting with yourself?
Seriously, Ray, I think you are a guy who is trying to "pay it forward" with your vision for making fine photography tools accessible to folks who thought it might be out of their reach. Good on yer! I came here looking for a recommendation for a high bang-for-buck prime lens as I am not exactly flush with photo funds myself. I'm shooting an Oly E-M10 and loving it! Almost sprang for the Sigma but went back and reviewed some images from my Oly 14-42 kit lens at 19mm and found they are pretty darn good resolution (sharp at 13x19) so will hang with that a bit longer since a wide aperture is not a priority for me. Also using a cheap but good Oly 40-150 and Samyang 7.5 fisheye. See some results here: goo.gl/photos/P6QAygHKaVy59sTS8
naturalverities Thanks thats a beautiful camera. only thing holding me back is that the display doesnt rotate foreward . Ill check your shots. good lookin out
True about the display. I have to use the smartphone app for that. The E-M5 MkII does have the forward-flippin' display but is a lot more $$. The Oly in-body I.S. is the bomb for handheld video, though, and their frame rates are now pretty competitive with Panasonic.
naturalverities I know, thay in body IS is what I really need considering as you can see I use lots of older lenses. my 200mm I need a tripod for really.
MORE uploads please!!!!
Pleasant surprise this little video thanks :)
Whats up Blackwing, cool name, thanks I appreciate it. really as you can see I didnt rush making it. Im shooting 3 reviews simultaneously at the moment, a 25mm 1.7, the 14-42 kit zoom , the roxsen focal reducer and the G& camera, no thats four. yeah im gonna make them just as detailed so stay tuned.
You definitely reached more than one person with this video. Cheers!
you have all the good videos bro
thanks so much
you speak good man! sounds nice with the music as well :) nice review!
Thank you PacMan, glad it helped. to tell you a secret I dont have a dedicated voice recorder, I speak into the mic of my GH1 and in the editor I drag it to the audio timeline. it does the job
well done! sounds like soul music talking about lenses and light, etc haha. Nice images too
Great review, fantastic voice, well matched music and nice message.
You've also convinced me to buy this lens as my first prime for om-d e-m10 II
Whats up Artur? thanks Im glad it helped and yes I tried to take the lens in many different environments to keep the vid as interesting as possible. cant beat it for the price but its good to have a wider aperature lens if you can afford it like the Pana 20mm 1.7. this is a great lens to take and leave on the camera all day though if you dont want to carry alot.
Raychristofer wow, quick reply! yeah, it would be perfect because of the size and aperture, the only problem is that it's autofocus is slow with my oly, especially in low light. And once again, for real you should think of recording more materials, you've definitely got a potential!
Artur Fijał Thank you Artur the problem is some of the other lenses I have are not special and there's nothing exciting to review about them, I have a lens call the Meijer gorlitz trioplan very special lens but I do not want to review it because I have a feeling it would raise prices lol. Good looking out, and when you get your lens feel free to do a review also. It's good to have different viewpoints.
Isn't it already extremely expensive? I will try to mount some clips for sure, not necessarily reviews though, more like holiday clips :) Maybe one day I will achieve your level!
Artur Fijał lol the model I have is decades old and in Altix mount that no one uses so I got it for 150 and use an adapter
GREAT REVIEW !!!
Thanks Conn, glad it helped, Ive got a few more lens reviews you might dig also. appreciate the comment.
I have the 30mm and love it, I have been looking at this 19mm version and I think you just sold me on it
Yes sir I still use mine and I still have not found another electronic lens with a more perfect manual focus . definitely look at my Panasonic 25 mm review also it's about the same price as this and it is phenomenal for portraits
@@Raychristofer will do, thanks
Yea. Great view, informative and encouraging, even though I don't use m 4/3. Will look for more of your real images and video, too. Dave
BigvDave thanka so much bro. I shoot medium format film you're welcome to check those out as well. Thanks for stopping by
Great video, appreciate your insight!
Thanks Kenneth I usually use stuff a few months before deciding to review, that way I can talk about what i know without tryna be a artifitial posing latte drinkin know it all lol. glad it helped.
Haha we can all appreciate that!
excellent - i love the review, i might get one of these lenses for my next gh4 camera
Thanks Suchet, you can't go wrong with it, especially the image Quality is Faultless. Only thing is it is definitely not strong at low light.
+Raychristofer is there another lense that you may recommend on a similar budget for movie making? I'm looking more for epic wide shots.
Suchet B Hello unfortunately the next step I recommend costs probably more than double this Sigma, I think the Olympus 17mm 1.8 would be a perfect upgrade. I dont have one though. for more cinematic shots check out my review of the Helios 44-2, I never leave home without that one.
Great review....thank you.
Hello Tony thank you, took me forever but ill be uploading a review of the 25mm 1.7 by panasonic tomorrow, feel free to check it out.
what a wonderful and inspiring video! greetings from Germany!!
Donny, whats up, I always wanted to visit Germany, the old technology is great, especially the items from like 1930-60. would really like to visit an antique camera shop there. thanks and yes i tried to make the video more personal than a plain unboxing, humans have feelings.
Great point Ray, this lens will help those with talent on a tight budget get great shots. This is one of the Sigma Art series about five times cheaper than the SLR version.
Thanks al, really can't say anything bad about the lens. I could nit pick and say it doesn't have character but that's what the vintage boys are for.
It wad inspirational... so God bless you for that!
Whats up Salwan? hey man I really appreciate that. yes I still use that lens when the shot is right. you have an interesting name, what country are you from?
Great video and review :)
Thanks Michael, I try, takes alot of time shooting and editing something thorough like this by yourself.
Raychristofer
I definitely understand that! :) Keep it up
Thanks for your review. I like the end the most.
Lee F I really appreciate that Lee, the fact that you made it to the end means it wasn't too terrible. You know what it is with what I said at the end, whenever you hear people talk about Society they always talk about the middle class this and that no one ever thinks about the lower class, it's like they don't matter. I'll never forget growing up eating mayonnaise sandwiches. Alright I'm off my soapbox for now. Good looking out
Thanks. I will go for the 17mm Olympus as a back up lens (used). I know people that can afford expensive equipment but take terrible photos. I always tell people to buy used cameras and lenses and save money.
Lee F you know what that Olympus is a better choice in my opinion The Wider aperture of course is going to let in more light but you're also going to get more separation which is very important in micro four-thirds. That and the Panasonic 25 mm 1.7 are good choices
Great Video! I own an Sigma 19mm as well. I'm pretty happy with it. Keep up the good work :)!
Thanks GL, yeah man I'm just trying to improve my shooting and editing skills, I wish sigma had a wider angle like 12mm also but these are hard to fault for the price.
Unfortunately true. For Vlogs, I stay with the kit 14-42. It does a pretty good job when you ask me :D
Nice review big man!
Appreciate it black Steel. cool name, are you shooting on micro four thirds cams also?
I only have the Canon 70D @ the mo.....looking to get a C300 at some stage.....and i only haver the Sigma 18-35mm Art as a lens....looking at the 50mm art amd maybe the Sigma zoom lens like the 24-70mm...i think theydo that one!....but their new Cine Range looks very good bro!
