BUDGET VS PRO LENS!?!? | Canon 35mm RF vs. Sigma 35mm Art Lens

[@starlaslade1]

I’m not sure how I came across this video, but I watched the entire thing and I loved how informative it was.

[@mcmc-o9w]

as for someone who suffers with gas this really grounded me. thanks for reminding me how good my gear already is and i can focus on something else other than the gear. thank you and great photos

[@mariodevon_]

Thank you for watching!! And yes you will be shocked at what our cameras are capable of when we put the right gear TOGETHER. The right body and lens combo is important. But it's just as important to keep honing into crafting our skills.

[@cogs2937]

Great comparison. By the end of your video I learned to tell which was which but would not have known before watching.

[@txlife5072]

Great Video. Apart from the first picture, I got all of them correct. The main difference is that the canon lens kept the full subject in focus.

[@simonrumi]

Liked the "blind" comparison between the shots from the 2 lenses. Without thinking about technical details I picked the image I liked best out of each pair and every time it was the Sigma Art lens.

[@Tafsern]

I chose the opposite tbh. To me, the Canon looked the best. :)

[@druzu]

The quality in this video is dope! The pics you took were 🔥🔥🔥. Good info!

[@mariodevon_]

Maaaan I appreciate that so much DRUZU! I hope the info helps!

[@susysclips]

Terrific video, thank you. I picked the sigma each time, it’s got that special something, although the rf produced some incredible shots as well. I’ve been on the fence so seeing this video has been a help. Little to do with camera lenses but your voice is very enjoyable to listen to.

[@realsaltzy6651]

I bought the R6 after watching your video on the R5 and R6. I absolutely love the content I've been able to create with it. I went from a Rebel T6 to the R6 full frame. I also bought the RF 35mm, and RF 50mm. My lens is gonna be the 70-200

[@mariodevon_]

Ooooooh that's a big upgrade my friend!! I hope you're enjoying the R6 so far!!

[@rodrigotorresbuenrostro2362]

Crazy! I just got my R6 two months ago, I had the Rebel T6i before. Now I’m getting the RF 35mm and I just bought the 70-200 and I have EF 50mm as well, is crazy to know that someone else is on the same situation like I am 😂

Hey guys can you please tell me if the RF35 is perfect for a wide angle with great sharpness portraits/ group photos ?

[@ko-Daegu]

​@@Mya-Elba nope the 24mm might be better for a wider photo while still having the macro and F1.8 btw it's 100$ more than the 35mm (so it's about 499)

[@digitalghosts4599]

Man, I love this formula of the review - instead of overly focusing on technicalties, you took 2 really good lenses, put them side by side and asked people - Can you see the difference? That's exactly what I needed. I work for Leica and am responsible for color calibration firmware, so I'd say my eyes are pretty trained, and honestly, in half the cases I couldn't tell which lenses are which. I want to go to Hong Kong for the first time in my life next year and was looking for just one lenses to take there with me. After watching this video, the Canon ones win for the trip, because the difference is negligible, only they're so much lighter!

[@Liquidtage]

Keep killing it, the quality of the videos are really underrated for the channel size. Easy 50-100k or more for this channel with consistency like this. With that said, I been battling which lens is next, do I want the 85 or 35, maybe even the 70-200. But I think if I go 35, the RF is solid enough to save the $300 difference. Great comparison.

[@GabrielBiff]

Which was your primary lens and which one did you end up buying next?

[@Liquidtage]

@@GabrielBiff I have the 35 macro and 85 viltrox for cost and like both!

[@Bhupender296]

Great video. It would be more helpful if we can see the sigma at 1.4 vs canon at 1.8 difference. I do have canon Rf 35 but not sure if it is worth buying a new sigma 1.4

[@portraitblake]

At 1.4 the blur is better but the lens is less sharp because of this.

[@environmentNow]

Just bought the sigma 55-200 for about 100$ used. Wanted a telephoto lens and compared to a new or used canon lens it was a steal and it creates amazing photos

[@mariodevon_]

Oh that is a STEAL!! I have an old Sigma macro lens that’s still pretty sharp!

[@MrOvipare]

Great content, great presentation. I like that didn't just gave it up for the photo comparisons. It's a good exercice!

[@carldaniel3155]

Question - If you shoot wide open at an f1.4 aperture in bright daylight... the shutter speed hits the 1/8000 limit very easily! (clips, can't go any higher) with a Canon R6 or a Sony a7iv Electronic shutter limits also 1/8000. Do you use a ND filter to get around this issue? thanks With my Fujifilm X-T3 in MS + ME mode, it auto switches when needing above 1/8000 to ES mode up to 1/32,000 - thus never had this issue before!. On my Canon R6 if I choose iso 50 L (from 100) to help, this just blows out the highlights images look yuk!!!. I don't want to just raise the aperture to say f2.8 to stop this happening - Canon and Sony need faster Electronic shutter speeds... maybe a firmware fix?

[@mariodevon_]

Great question. You’re shooting in some seriously bright sunlight. I personally have never needed anything faster than 1/8000. But yes, the ND filter is your best bet. Some cameras only stop down to 1/4000 shutter, and ND is necessary. Good thing for photos, you can shoot RAW, so you can compensate for any color shift from the ND. If you’re willing to splurge, look up the Nisi True Color ND filters. Minimal color shift. Hope this helps!

[@michelecintramika8482]

In R6II in electronics it goes up to 1/16,000. And on the Fujifilm X-H2 it goes up to 1/180,000. 😱

[@KID_CULTURE]

LOVE the setup Bruv! I liked before I even watched the video.

[@MercMan]

Out of all the videos I watched on this lens, this was the one that sold me on it.

[@charlesnetzler2262]

Which one is better for video?

[@mariodevon_]

Sigma for sure! The autofocus is far more reliable. The Canon 35mm has the STM motor for the Nifty Fifty

[@charlesnetzler2262]

@@mariodevon_ Great, thanks!

[@incubus_the_man]

I have the Yongnuo 50 and 35. They can shoot amazing images. They might not be perfect but they are still great starters and they can get you through a pinch

[@mariodevon_]

I like both of them but the only flaw that was a dealbreaker for me is the very inaccurate autofocus. I have not recommended those lenses because most beginners are not the best at manual focus. They are capable though!

[@abelrock01]

Bro, I was very very surprised I couldn't guess some photos between the two lenses. Could you make a link with the original RAWs to properly pixel peep? I would appreciate that. Thanks!

[@ReformationsGlassArt]

have you done a comparison with the tamron 35mm ef 1.4 ?

[@RedderThanAres]

Great video! Have you done the 50mm comparison video yet? I just got the 50mm 1.8 RF and I'm really blown away by it, it just seems too good to want more, especially at almost 14x the price, but I'm eager to see a practical comparison!

[@AllieOnPointe]

I have the Sigma (from my mkiv) but now that I have the RP I’m debating the RF 35. I actually guessed right in all of these because something I’ve noticed in my sigma that bothers me personally I that the edges of a subject are not as sharp even when not at 1.4. (Like feet or hands are sometimes blurry) I noticed in your photos the canon kept the sharpness throughout the shot and the colors look great…not to mention it’s much smaller and lighter. So I might be getting that lens next.

[@mariodevon_]

I think the RP has a different autofocus than the R. The 5DIV has the superior sensor and autofocus motor. Do you get the same sharpness issue from the 5D or did you see this happen with the RP?

[@AllieOnPointe]

@@mariodevon_ yeah it’s actually on the 5div where I’ve always noticed since I only just recently got the RP. I did end up getting the 35 RF lens and it’s been great! (And also lighter and smaller for carrying around 😅)

[@stefan_es]

​@@AllieOnPointeWhat do you think. for RP is it better to take Sigma ART or still Canon RF? Opinions were widely divided. Some say that the colors on the Sigma are better and that it is, in principle, built better. Others say the Canon is better because it's lighter and more compact. how much does the difference between 1.4 vs 1.8 affect? And what should you buy for commercial filming?

[@user-zt2ll7pr2p]

Wow this was a fun one! Thank you for posting! subscribed!

[@Anthony2lars]

Got it all correct. I have Sigma Art 35mm 1.4. and I can tell it by basing on bokeh and DOF on the pictures.

[@kagnetworks]

Thanks for the video. I have the Canon 35mm RF. It's very sharp and light.

[@ryangallagher3235]

Looking at the first set of photos I really thought the one with the consistent, round bokeh circles would be the Canon and I was wrong! Consistently across these photos I found the bokeh quality on both the Sigma and Tamron to have a more attractive look than the canon which had football shaped bokeh on the outer areas of the images.

[@KikiSetiawanID]

This show of full open aperture or steping down for same level? if wide open aperture, that images have minor improvement to ART lens (also price is close to RF lens).

[@Realwildshots]

I agree. Half way through the video I started noticing the difference in color and realised that Sigma sense made her skin more yellow, but canon stayed true color.

Yep!

[@EndureTyrant]

I got them all right just because i noticed one thing. The blue is richer on the cannon lens. You could see it in the jeans and some backgrounds. Nothing clients would notice, and could easily be changed in editing, but an easy difference to spot.

[@jayrichjlr]

its quite easy to tell which is which.. especially at 4:10. what makes it easy for me, the left photo is a tad soft but much more out of focus starting at the chest area where the canon, she is tac sharp her whole body

after watching more of the video its not even close. both are great lens, all pics were absolute fire, but there are tale tale signs. specifically with color rendering. again still great either way

[@kushyah7832]

[@manuelsen69]

Got all of them right immediately. The Sigma photos just pop out a lot more with tack sharp details and that professional look. Could be achieved for the Canon lense, too, with some lightroom magic but it's nice to get it right away.

The bokeh balls on the canon were the shape of a cats eye and the sigma bokeh balls were fairly round so it was pretty easy to figure out which lens took each image....and just figure out which out of focus background generally looked the best, it was always the sigma...its pretty clear which lens is better

[@USMCvet32]

You have a crop sensor so your 35mm on a crop sensor is more like a 50mm (52.5mm). If you want a 35mm equivalent then you’re going to need the 24mm prime.

[@infernohd4313]

Hello I just got the eos r and I’m looking for a lens I have a sigma 18-35 mm lens but it’s a crop lens so if I use it it will lose quality, if I get a sigma 35 mm full frame lens will it lose quality with the adapter? Or should I get the cannon 35 for the best quality

[@jensfrankjakob]

Late answer but the adapter does not affect quality since it does not cotain any glass elements and the electronics contacts are more or less passthrough. If anything they will perform better due to the technical advances of the newer camera bodies (DPAF II, IBIS). The benefit of the canon is that is lighter, more compact and the STM AF is less noisy while filming. Other than that both should work alright.

[@dbenedict357]

Was this an adapted Sigma or an RF Sigma?

[@erico6247]

You can create great photos with just about any decent lense and camera if you know how to use your settings and are creative!

[@ko-Daegu]

but it's much easier if you have better lense and camera thou espically if you want to record videos and you are a youtuber not a pro

[@transparent1054]

Got all three shots correct . The bokeh is the telling story. The RF 35 1.8 STM Macro doesn't resolve round OOF lights as well as the Sigma. Not that's it's bad but not that its great.

[@lorenschwiderski]

Let us know if the focus on the 50mm f1.8 is faster and locks-in to a perfect focus better then the 35mm f1.8. I was considering getting the 35mm but some reports say the focusing is slower and perhaps some missed shots. Is this true. Not all reviews claim this. I suspect the 50mm however is faster. The 85mm is slower to focus :(

[@mariodevon_]

Thank you for your comment! As an owner of both lenses, the 35mm 1.8 gets the job done but it’s slower because of the STM motor similar to the Nifty Fifty. The Sigma lens is definitely faster. No question

[@lorenschwiderski]

@@mariodevon_ Thanks for the reply!!! Seems like there is more positive reviews about the 35mm than negative, so I may get the 35mm some day. If focus speed is like the 50mm, it is good enough.

[@FloatingOnAZephyr]

Great video, but shooting both at 1.8 isn't an even playing field, it's hamstringing the wider lens! I wanted to see if I'd miss the Sigma by moving to the Canon, and the most obvious question mark is would I miss the extra bokeh from the wider aperture. Significantly reduced the utility of the comparison.

[@mariodevon_]

That’s the point of the comparison. The Sigma is obviously better. It’s an older lens but it’s built with superior components. It’s very comparable to the 35mm L lens and even Sony’s 35mm G Master. The point of this video is to show early shooters that although the 35mm RF isn’t quite as good as the Sigma, it’s still packs a nice punch for what it is.

[@FloatingOnAZephyr]

@@mariodevon_ It definitely does, it's a superb package. I just wish I could have seen the compromises if makes too. Thanks for the video.

I shoot on an EOS R and I do love that Canon 35mm... the 85mm RF is a great lens for Macro too, without the crazy price tag of the RF L series glass.

I’ve got the sigma 35 and love it. The big differentiated here was the bokeh quality and bokeh balls. The canon bokeh balls were more ellipse shaped and sigma was more round. I just bought a R6 and will adapt the sigma on. But, it’s tempting to buy the canon for video if I choose to do hybrid coverage.

[@stefan_es]

Good afternoon. What is your opinion on using the Sigma ART 35mm with the Canon R6? Are there any nuances? Do you have difficulty focusing? Is it better to take a used Sigma ART or a new Canon RF?

Nice bro! Video definitely helps

[@mikebanks4796]

Even though you were at f/1.8 for both, the bokeh looks a lot better on the Sigma @2.31. The Canon has the “cat eye” look and the Sigma is actual bokeh balls. Might just be splitting hairs here though. I see a Sigma on sale for basically the same price as the Canon, but IS (I shoot a lot of video), not having to use the adapter (I’m on an EOS R) and dealing with that Sigma dock makes me lean towards the Canon even though I like the Sigma image better.

I own a 6II, but I haven't bought the Sigma yet. Here in Brazil, Sigma is the same price as RF. I will buy the Sigma. If this problem appears, I disable the camera's IS.

I can actually see a bit yellow cast in the pictures captured by the Sigma. i prefer the canon over the sigma..

[@Stardrowner]

I've been shooting with a Sigma 50mm 1.4 Art for the last two months and I love it. I was able to pick out the Sigma between the two in most of the photos you provided and it honestly backs up my love for what Sigma does with their lenses. I shot with a 35mm RF for about a week before I got the Sigma and wound up taking it back. It's not a bad lens, just didn't do what I wanted. Love the point you're driving though. You don't have to have the sharpest lenses in the game to produce great photos and 35mm RF 1.8 is a solid first lens choice.

[@stefan_es]

Do you think it’s worth considering buying a used Sigma 35mm ART 1.4? Will it have a better image? The price is equal to the new RF 35mm 1.8. So I wondered if it was worth using it for work and photo shoots?

[@Stardrowner]

@@stefan_es honestly, it's dependent on the shape the lens is in. If the 35mm Sigma is in good condition and the price is right, I'd say it's a solid choice however, it really comes down to preference. I know everyone is looking for an "absolute" answer, but it comes down to the photographer/videographer testing both out and deciding which feels right and delivers the results they're looking for. For me, after using both in a store, I prefer the Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art lens. I haven't used either out in the field, but I know the feel from the 50mm and it blew my nifty fifty out of the water in terms of sharpness. I personally love the quality images I get using Sigma glass more than the more affordable Canon native glass. However, I wouldn't turn down a 35mm RF 1.8 because it is still a great lens and makes for a better travel lens due to it's lighter weight. Either way, no matter what you choose, I don't think you can go wrong.

[@mrnobody5763]

This is exactly how a comparing lens video should be made, with quizzes in every photo. Great job man. They seem to perform very similar, moreover it's not excluded that the sigma need to be adjusted for back or front focus at the lower aperture with the usb docker. Did you do such work for the Canon EOS R?

Front- / backfocus isn't an issue on mirrorless anymore. It used to be a problem due to how phase AF of DSLR cameras works, this does not affect DPAF.

If you shoot hybrid, go for sigma. You'll face focus issues on low light with rf35 canon

Great comparison and excellency model per composition. I have the Canon 35mm rf . The difference is more pronounced with the Canon 85 rf f2 and the Sigma art 85mm but the 35mm in very close. I shoot with an R6 so the difference seems smaller. Canon Rf mount is not a great place the live for reasonably priced lens

I must say the Sigma is better. Canon RF for the price as for Canon is wonderfull lens but the bokeh of Sigma is just better. No split lines no split circles etc. making the background silky smooth.

I guessed every time which was the Canon lens. I noticed that Sigma always blurs the clothes and only the eyes are in focus, while the Canon lens is different, with it both the eyes and the clothes are in focus. I like Canon lens more because of that feature.

I had 💯 right answers based on background/ bokeh qualities of lenses. RF had less “washed” background. 🤴

So except the last picture I got all of them right. Your videos and pictures are awesome. Keep up the good work, man! You’ve earned a new follower.

Amazing 🔥😍

[@mariodevon_]

Thank you so much!! 🔥

A fair comparison would be giving both lenses to someone that is clueless about photography and editing. You ma boy can do bangers with 18-55mm and still will look dope

[@studywithricky7939]

You can tell which one is the sigma just by the depth of field in each picture. But nice video!!

[@mariodevon_]

Actually all of the photos are set at the same aperture. The bokeh has different character. But the apertures are both set at f/1.8

[@dbenedict357]

Especially if it is only going to be posted on Instagram….. they compress the shots so there isn’t even a need for like a 45MP camera if you are only shooting IG.

[@williamsonproduction8493]

I definitely want the Canon. But I will have to opt for the Sigma

[@mariodevon_]

I like them both! I actually like the image sharpness from the Sigma's more though

[@Hamyhamster24]

even at budget price...its still too expensive for me lmao...im just here cause i like your videos 😆
