I appreciate tour channel a lot, and I understand that you do so to get more CTR for your videos, but as a camera enthusiast I find it quite annoying not viewing the lens name on the title/thumbnail. The only reason I click now on these videos is because my good previous experience with your content. So this is my honest feedback as your subscriber, so don't take it to heart, I love you and your videos
@MarkBennettCameraCrisis2 ай бұрын
I totally get it. And I would love to include everything in the title and thumbnail, but unfortunately - those videos die right away. It's a weird thing that's happening, but no one will watch my videos if it has the name in the title (usually). I will try to switch back as time goes but it is what it is right now and people just skip the video if they see Meike or even Sigma in the title. I consider it the sacrifice that has to ne made to let a wider audience see these great lenses.

Dude from a fellow Canuck i love your videos and delivery of them. I learn a lot about photography as I'm fairly new to it, being a video guy for much longer. You always explain things plainly and its easy to pick up. I've learned mew terms i never heard of before. Your sense of humor is spot on and helps me remember things because i laughed. Good job.

APS-C though...so you know, for us FF users, it's ~53mm (Canon, 1.6x crop)...no AF for Canon either...so...not really suitable. I'd be wanting to use such a lens as a walkabout street photography lens, and AF would be an important thing in order to actually capture street activity.

I've tried both the sigma 1.4 and the sony 1.8, and honestly between the two I still prefer the sony because is more compact and has stabilization, I don't like it aesthetically though the glossy finish of the sony does not match at all the body of my a6700, I love the fact that the meike used the same exact finishing of the 6700 looks like it was made for it!

I am extremly torn between the Sigma 30mm f1.4, the Meike 33mm f1.4 and the Viltrox 35mm f1.7. From Focal length i am usually more a 40mm Full-frame kind of guy, so the Sigma would suit me the best. But its optically the weakest. The Viltrox would be the smallest and lightest. Extremly hard to decided. Any recommendations?
@MarkBennettCameraCrisisАй бұрын
While the sigma isn’t as “technically” great optically, it’s still great. And the focal length will probably mean more to you in real world use. Go tip with your gut and get the Sigma.
