LENSES FOR ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY - Sigma 50mm f1.4 REVIEW & SAMPLES

[@SlimburgerHoldTheMayo]

purchased the Sigma 50mm Art and was amazed with everything from build quality to sharpness, definitely my go to lens, great review.

[@gabewrsewell]

Awesome, lenses for astrophotography is my favourite series. Thanks Adrien! Sigma Art lenses really are a cut above the rest.

[@NightLightsFilms]

Gabe Sewell thanks Gabe! I’m gonna do more in the future because I also realized a lot of peeps like them! Yes Sigma lenses are defo. Some of the best lenses for astro :)

[@gabewrsewell]

Adrien Mauduit Another lens reviewing channel I watch, Dustin Abbott, has just started in reviewing the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 Art, I was just mentioning to him how excellent I think that lens could be for astrophotography as well: probably as sharp as the Samyang 135mm f/2.0, but a full stop faster! That's a huge advantage for unguided tracked deep space exposures like the ones you do.

[@dankahraman354]

They definitely are!

[@YeTi20128]

Great video. Very informative. Thank you for making this! Keep up the good work

[@tintin69rr]

Great video I’ve just ordered the sigma well looking forward to trying some Astro with it on the R6 👍👍👍

[@akandes]

Many thanks for the video. Very useful!

[@graemefryer6227]

great, clear review. bravo

[@W00PIE]

The 50 mm and the 35 mm Art Series are my absolute favourites, tonight I will go out and test them on the universe. As I'm just starting with astrophotography and I also have the 150 - 600 mm Contemporary tele from Sigma, does anybody know if that also works well without a tracker?

[@troyrx6669]

Subscribed, great review and very informative

[@ScenicMotion]

Really great review Adrien- Thank You very much for taking your time to examine this lens at different appartures. Glad I have it in my arsenal already ;-)

[@NightLightsFilms]

ScenicMotion thanks man! Yes absolutely I think everyone owning this lens should feel this way :) it’s amazing!! :)

[@MrBorderman01]

Great vid. Lots of fantastic information provided. Thanks for sharing. Im trying to decide which Sigma lens to get. I plan on doing some astrophotography in Utah and Arizona this summer. Deciding between 20mm & 24mm. Both are f1.4. I want to avoid any distortion from wide angle. Would like to do both still photography(pano) and timelapses as well. Have you reviewed these lenses? I didnt see one on you channel. Thanks

[@mikeridley1]

Great review Adrien, I am in the market for a 50mm lens for both astro & landscape, so this was very helpful indeed.

[@NightLightsFilms]

Thanks Michael! I''m happy it served its purpose then! :) It sure is a great lens for astro (and portrait as well!)

[@helthuismartin]

Very good video.

[@carlyfischer1425]

about to purchase a 5D mark IV for some landscape and astrophotography, will be aurora hunting in a few weeks too, Is the 5D a mistake, is the sonyA7III a better buy. were aiming for sigma 14mm F/1.8 DG HSM art, sigma 135mm F/1.8 Art, for astro use with a skywatcher star adventurer mount. Canon EF 24-70mm F/2.8 L II USM for day/landscape use.

[@ant_hart]

Great video and comparison that’s really helpful having all those identical shots at the various F stops. I have a 6D myself and a samyang 24mm 1.4 ( only just bought it ) I can’t wait to go out and shoot :) Thanks Adrien, Ant

[@NightLightsFilms]

7K.METALWORX thanks Ant!! Yes I used to own 5 samyang 24mm but they all died due to poor build quality. I hope yours is better! Other than that this lens is awesome!!

[@phila1367]

you are much better of with the 20mm f1.4 art than.30 mm for astro ... the results I am getting from the 16mm and 20mm art is mind blowing

[@dankahraman354]

Very good review. Thank you. Much cheaper than Sigma 50mm f/1.2

[@glenjimen1234]

Another great video. I have a question for you. How does the A7R2 compare to the 6d when doing tracked shots. Notice you only seem to use the A7R2 for time lapse. Would really appreciate a comparison 👍

[@starman1969]

Very impressive Adrien.

[@NightLightsFilms]

Thanks Stephen!! :)

[@dominiclester3232]

Great review, thank you. Any chance you could compare the Tokina Opera 50mm and Tamron 45mm please? Then you can compare...

[@stoettingerphoto]

Great Video, very interesting!

[@NightLightsFilms]

Thanks Seb!! :)

[@helthuismartin]

Does it have better cornersharpness than the ZEISS 55mm 1.4 Otus????

[@saadazzahrani]

Nope it doesn't. Even the Sony Zeiss 50mm f1.4 Planar is sharper.

[@helthuismartin]

@@saadazzahrani NO its NOT.

[@saadazzahrani]

@@helthuismartin See Ken Rockwell's review and Dustin Abott's. It's the best 50mm(ish) just after the 55mm Otus.

[@helthuismartin]

@@saadazzahrani I disagree with Ken Rockwell.

[@saadazzahrani]

@@helthuismartin OK

[@adamkovacs589]

Newer gorgeous review !

[@ambereyess]

Great review, Adrien! Would love to see you make a review how is Sigma 20mm f/1.4 for timelapses and astrofotography :-)

[@NightLightsFilms]

Thanks mate! Yes it's coming later for sure :)

[@abhikchakraborty3850]

Dear sir, can I use this lens for landscape, seascape, wedding & portrait, purpose! How about zooming! Is the lens suitable for Nikon D3400?

[@horatiudanciu377]

tf ur talking about. it s a 50mm prime. what is zooming lol?! a lens could be used for anything

[@Joagamecube]

Great video! I'm also thinking about buying a camera and lens to start with astrophotography, but the thing is that i live in a light polluted area, would that still give good results or not?

[@NightLightsFilms]

Thanks a lot Joachim!! That's awesome! Well you really would have to get out of the light polluted area if you really wanna see something, but for testing I think it's a good place to start anyways! :)

[@Joagamecube]

Okay Thanks! :) i'm really new to this! Do you always search for Dark skies then? Do I maybe need a light pollution filter, could that help? If yes do you have recommendations? :)

[@naporoy]

lol joachim

[@sjhxdy232]

#nightlightsfilms What lens should I buy if I have a Canon 80D for astrophotography? Thanks in advance. ^^

[@kalti1244]

Great video! Is it worth to get this lense in combination with the Canon 6D as a beginner? (my first camera and also lense) I need a lense for astro,- and landscape photography or would you recommend a different lense for this purpose (especially for beginners)?

[@NightLightsFilms]

Kalti thanks! Absolutely! I wish I had known this when I started Astrophotography, it would have made my life easier. If you can invest in it I would highly recommend it!!

[@kalti1244]

Thanks for the quick response! :)

[@NightLightsFilms]

Kalti you’re very welcome!!

[@keiou]

Great review. Just one thing, your background light is too bright than your face.

[@NightLightsFilms]

Thanks Dexter. Yes I know, I'm not shooting in S-Log either because it's hell to color grade for this purpose. I don't think it's too much disturbing though because I'm not the main subject of this vid :)
