- In this video I test the Video Auto Focus of the Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 with the Sony MC-11 adapter vs Sigma 16mm f/1.4, Sony 24mm G-master, and the Sony 35mm f/1.8 FE Lens
It performed very well.

![WOW! Sigma 18-35 1.8 [Sony E-Mount w/ MC-11 Adapter] Review](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/UfScSsMk0kk/mqdefault.jpg)
Let me know in the comments if you would like me to do further testing. Videography or Photography. So far I think it is a great lens option !
Thanks for this very usefull video as I am considering buying this lens with MC11. I just bought the a6500 instead of the a6600 to keep enough money to get this lens.
Before pulling the trigger in the next days I really need your advice:
-I plan to use a6500+sigma 18-35 as my A cam for wedding film hanheld or with a monopod and wondering if the range is good enough
-My B cam would be my a6300 on a tripod with sigma 16 1.4 or on a gimbal. Do you think I will be missing a longer focal lens and if so what would you recommend?
I know… lot of questions sorry.
Look forward to a prime shootout between Fuji 23,35,50 f/2 (f/1.4 is too slow) on XT3 vs Sigma 16,30,56 f/1.4 on A6600 vs Sony 35,50,85 f/1.8 on A7iii
@@flomff4037 u would need something longer. Maybe a 56mm sigma
Great video! Why does the 16mm 1.4 footage look so much darker in the shadows?
@@nVuFilms thanks for your answer 👍
Dope test. Sony and the MC-11 has never let me down. With my A7iii + Sigma 35mm 1.4 That’s all I use. Good to know it’s still just as good if not better on the A6600
🤏🤏🤏
How do you like it in 2022?
came for the comparison, stayed for the music ✊🏼(and the video of course)
Thanks !
The sigma 18-35 was my favorite lens for the Nikon. I'd love to see it on the sony A7III even though it's a cropped lens. Great video by the way!
Thanks for putting this together- I've looked at this lens a few times for my Sony bodies.
No problem thanks for watching !
Just curious, you said you got the lens for 500 brand new? 🤔 from where?
FE 35 performs the best. Usually the Sony AF struggles (acts slower/jumpier) at closer focusing distance but FE 35 is perfect.
It has the newer focusing motor
My 18-35 with mc-11 on Sony ZV E10 hunts like crazy at f1.8 it's only reliable at f2.8
I had the 18-35 + MC11 adapter but sold it a while ago, and then recently got the Sony A-Mount version of the Sigma 18-35 and planning on using the "new" Sony LA-EA5 A-Mount to E-Mount to see if the new A to E adapter lessens that weird bubbly-motor noise in AFC mode. It's like the focus motor is always constantly adjusting something internally.
id just go for e-mount glass straight up

The way Sigma came out with the 24-70 and 85 both aren’t usual Sigma “big” can you imagine if they came out 18-35 F1.8 equivalent to compete with Sony native 16-55 F2.8 😳
*take my money
Great video Vu. I'm more interested in its auto-focus performance in stills. A lot of reviewers are saying that it is the sharpest APS-C lens they have ever shot on their Sony camera (even rivaling the Sigma 16 and 30 mm 1.4), but no one has really said anything in depth on how it auto-focuses. If this lens is fast and accurate enough with flexible spot, I'll most likely buy it. I don't need it as a sport's lens. I have the A6500. So, long story short, I would love for you to do a video on the stills aspect of this lens. No one on CZcams has as far as my search result say.
I don't like it for stills
Hi, Great video Thanks. Does the in body stabilizer still works with the adapter? Thanks
It's fine
that helps me alot ! Thank you !
I also own this lens and mc-11 adapter, I use it with my Sony FS5...auto focus is slow.
I think the a6600 AF is next level. It is lightning
Did you have any issues with the noise? I have the same lens but it gets really loud with focusing.
What improvement did you see after the Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 firmware update?
Not much
Great video Vu, you're the only one on YT with this lens & body combo. I already have the body, but I'm considering pick this lens and adapter for vlogging, would you recommend it for vlogging? One thing I wish you had in this video, is how good is the eye detection in video? I wish we could see a recording of how the monitor tracks your eye with the sigma 18-35...I would love your help in deciding the purchase.
Too big for vlog
Hey man !
I have a ZV-E10 (e-mount)+ Sigma 18-35 (Sony A mount) + the adapter L5-EA5 (for E mount) however the autofocus is not possible from the camera (it says invalid). Am I doing something wrong ?
A good alternative to sony 16-55 f2.8 is Tamron 17-28 f2.8 for APSC. Its equivalent focal length at much cheaper cost.
Big difference between 28 and 55
@@nVuFilms thats true but 17-28 is the full frame focal length. So equivalent APSC is 25.5-42. So it's a little closer than 18-35 but not as wide. The main thing is that its smaller, lighter, quiet focus motor, good medium focal length, for $849. Cheaper than the Sony and close to 18-35. I still think the Sigma is sharper though.
@@ChaseCharifa no that’s not how it works. Focal lengths don’t change because of the body you put it on. You’re confused by equivalent perspective.
Wow, this is EXACTLY the video I am looking for. I have the A6600, 24mm f1.4 GM, 16mm f1.4 Sigma. Have been thinking of 18-35 specifically for video streaming due to its zoom capacity. Does the focusing during video streaming KEEP making focusing noises non-stop or does it calm down once acquiring focus? I saw another video that seem to indicate that it keeps making continuous focusing noises on the A6600. Also, do you notice much DOF differences between f1.8 and the f1.4 at 24mm? I love shallow DOF and wonder how much I am giving up during video conferencing. Thanks again for a timely video. Bravo.
And may I ask where you got it for $500 on sale? That's a no brainer pricing. Thanks again.
Adorama deal of the day
Yes it continues to make noises
@@nVuFilms Liked & Subscribed. Thanks! If it keep making noises, I wonder if that wears out the focusing motor. I'm going to see if I can find another sale like yours. Wow.
Great video! What happened on 6:49? Did the camera glitch or pause?
Dude you got the uniquest name haha. Anyways great content
Thanks
Handsome! Thanks for the test! I also have 6600, now I'm thinking of taking a Sigma 18-35 f / 1.8 + MC-11 or Sony 18-105mm f / 4 G OSS PZ E (SELP18105G). What do you recommend? Sigma or Sony?
So should i get this adapter for my a6000
Any update on how it works for stills?
Average
Should I sell my Sigma 30mm F1.4 and replace it with the Sigma 18-35 F1.8 ?
No
Any specific reason ?
As im looking for a wider range lens and also the 18-35 is kind of versatile usage.
I don’t really mind the heavy weight. 😅
@@RavestageOfficial it's massive
Красава! Благодарю за тест! У меня тоже 6600, вот сейчас думаю брать Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 + MC-11 или Sony 18-105mm f/4 G OSS PZ E (SELP18105G). Что посоветуешь? Sigma или Sony?
Great vid bro, had a question of the Sigma 18-35, was the AF noise for video louder on the Sony mc11 or Fuji fringer!? Thankd
It's the lens noise. Not the adapter
@@nVuFilms ...thanks, I had it on a GH5 with a Metabones, really noisy, sold it, now I want it back lol
Did you have any issues with the lens on the adapter making noise? How did you get it to stop if you did?
Do I need an adaptor with the a6100? If I’m only gonna use it for photography, is worth it buying primes or the image quality is similar?
Primes are worth it. And yes you need the mc11 to use this lens
Vu Nguyen // nVu Films thank you!!
check out the viltrox booster and the viltrox iv :D
Hate it
do you get vintage around the corner? cause i just purchase the viltrox speed booster and im getting vintage from 18mm untill 35mm. if not, i might just have to return this and get the sigaa mc-11
Viltrox is differnet than Fringer. I don't have the issue with fringer
Is it too much difference between sigma 18-35 and sony lens for focus speed?
Sony lens is a lot faster
What do you think about the IBIS on this Sony a6600? I was thinking that if its really good, I would go for the 6600 unstead of XT3, but saw some tests and did not see much of a difference. Nice video btw
6600 ibis is trash for video due to rolling shutter in 4k
I’m too early for this. 360p
LOL. Yea come back in 30mins. CZcams has been slow AF during Covid to process video
with the Sigma 16mm your face was so dark Bro, the 18-35 was really good except when using 35mm on this lens, the AF was not so good @35mm, but with 16-24mm great :-)
I bought an MC-11 adapter for my sigma 18-35 and it didn’t fit for some reason even after I took it to best buy. Do you have any idea why that’s happening or can you recommend me some other adapters that might work the lens?
Is you 18-35 for canon or Nikon? Sigma mc-11 is for canon to sony mount
@@nVuFilms I have a sony a73
Sir Does MC11 Works with full frame too? I have the 18-35 f1.8 Sigma for Canon, and been using it for 80d, planning to upgrade to a7iii and buy an MC11 adapter for Sony E Mount, will the 18-35 work in a7iii just like it did on a6600?
Did you ever find out in the same boat Ty
@@topshelf223 it will work on sony bodies just fine, Problem is you can only shoot at s35 (super 35mm mode) as 18-35 is an aps-c lens. I switched back to canon with the R6, a7iii overheats like crazy on video mode, r6 does too but tolerable, and Canon feels are just better.
@@exogendesign4582 same here I really want a ff mirrorless and Sony aiii3 was in my price range along with the 90d and black magic. R6 is out my price range. I just don’t want to drop 1k and find out the hard way thank you so much for your help.
@@topshelf223 check out R7 its the aps-c version of R6 it also has IBIS, 4k60p,1080p 120p, and unlimited recording time. A7iii is pretty old now. If you're into video I think R7 will serve you better, specially that 4k60p it will come in handy. Its also less expensive than the a7iii.
Black magic is not a run&gun so I would rethink that decision also its a fully manual focus camera. If you're starting get a run&gun less accessories and hassle. Just a tip hehehe.
Hey Vu were do you go to get your music, love your youtube videos btw.
