Thank you so much for popping this lens on in studio, giving outdoor examples, zoomed in and out and the yard stick. Best lens review hands down for in studio. Thank you again

[@tourinojacks5844]

Bruh, you are my go-to lens guy from now on. You addressed everything that a person is looking to learn when searching for a lens review. Gratzi muchozo!

[@tombuck]

Woah thank you! This is so nice to hear, I really appreciate it.

[@digitalclips]

The lack of distortion in the view of your room at 14mm is amazing! I just ordered one for my Sony a7iii.

[@tombuck]

Ooh, that’ll be a great combo!

[@gutenbird]

Any thoughts now?

[@zedmurray9259]

Both the artistic quality and review quality of this video are top notch! Thanks for the review, Tom.

[@tombuck]

Wow, thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words!

[@justcallme_dj]

I appreciate you bringing out the yard stick to give a point of reference. Really helped!

[@Eddie303]

yes it did ...

[@steveteare3865]

Loved the way you demonstrated everything with examples. Great review - thank you!

[@tombuck]

Glad it helped!

[@Creative7inc]

Honestly Sigma has been killing the game with their glass. I personally shoot regularly on the sigma 35 art f1.4 and it's never let me down. I've been wanting to grab an additional, wider angle lens and this might just be it!

[@tombuck]

I’ve never found a bad Art series lens. They’re really stellar. 😎

[@Fretice]

Found another one who loves the sigma 35 f1.4 Art! I had this 35mm since 2014 and now it is 2022, the glass never let me down.

[@jptheinstallguy]

good review man. i am going to try this lens out

[@tombuck]

It’s a really fun one! Sigma makes some incredible stuff.

[@elijahmant2855]

Hey, Tom. Greetings. Just the lens I've been looking for. Canon L glass quality with out the Canon expensiveness. Nicely presented, furthermore, Nice music playing as you present. Thanks, Man.

[@tombuck]

Really happy to hear that! And yeah, Sigma makes some absolutely stellar lenses at very reasonable prices.

[@AliEhttisham]

I absolutely love your videos and style, keep it up!

[@tombuck]

Thank you so much!

[@Louis.DeGuzman]

I bought the Canon 6D Mark II because of you. Never regretted it.

[@tombuck]

It’s SUCH a good camera, and so so underrated.

[@STANDRDUSER]

I bought this last month, it arrived two weeks ago. I purchased the NiSi 150mm filter holder for long exposure shots, really thankful it came with a CPL. I’m sure I’m going to have fun with this.

[@tombuck]

I'm sure you will! It's an awesome lens.

[@SimplyAubs]

This is FANTASTIC!!! Thanks for checking it out and letting us know!

[@tombuck]

Trust me, I’m more than happy to test out lenses for the good of the cause 😬

[@SimplyAubs]

The Enthusiasm Project 🤪 thanks for “taking one for the team!” Such a good guy!

[@garypranzo9334]

Been using the Sigma 16-28 2.8 and it is perfect for my small Retro room I use for shoots often. I'm old and My hands are shaky so the S52 new High IBIS setting is very welcome but now I have to compensate for the extra crop so I ordered this lens.

[@risbill1]

Was just looking at one of these yesterday for real estate photography. Now I'm wondering how I could use it creatively for fashion photography and even video on the EOS R.

[@tombuck]

The only downside is that it’s pretty big/heavy. Otherwise it’s a stellar lens!

[@risbill1]

@@tombuck yeah I held one at a local shop. Probably not gonna be putting that on the Ronin S but it is a super sharp lens.

[@bryanbarajasBB]

Could you use the EF, Sigma 14-24 mount, mounted to metabones to ef-m and still use the filter adapter?

[@tombuck]

I don't think so. The only filter adapter I know of is the EF-RF one, which doesn't leave any way to use the EF-M adapter.

[@cindyemilton]

May I ask a question. I do real estate photography. I need purchase a circular polarized filter for my Sigma 14-24 mm F2.8 lens. Can you guide me to a good option?

[@jamesfoureight9879]

I’m interested in this lens! My 16-35 2.8 is starting to have focus problems, and I don’t mean auto focus problems. Even in manual focus one side of the frame is blurry, and lens repair is expensive. I do shoot with R6, and I do have a filter adaptor, mostly interested in this for Astro timelapse’s, I think this lens could be a good fit for me!

[@guidetheride2103]

Man I want that lens, a lovely look to the frame and very little distortion. Thanks for an excellent review. 👍

[@tombuck]

Glad it helped! It's a great lens overall and an awesome value for the price!

[@K9malinois_dog_love]

Is this lens weather sealed

[@tombuck]

Yep. If you've ever used a Sigma Art lens before, it's the same build/weather resistance as the rest of the line.

[@K9malinois_dog_love]

Thank you brother much appreciate your help.

[@justbleedprod.9414]

Wow nice lens, I definitely need to add this one to my arsenal. I’m a landscape photographer and would love to use this lens!

[@tombuck]

Definitely an awesome choice for landscapes!

[@ferraphotography9448]

Hello, your videos are very good, I would like to know your criteria If you have a canon 5d mark 4 and you want to buy a wide angle which one would you choose the sigma art 14-24mm f2.8 or the 16-35mm f4 is usm canon L series which is better

[@tombuck]

They’re both GREAT lenses. It’s depends on your needs. If you’re planning to do landscapes and outdoor work where the f4 aperture isn’t an issue, the Canon is terrific. If you need better low light performance and slightly shallower depth of field, the Sigma is a better choice.

[@allmariosarmiento]

I bought one about a year ago and I love it.

[@tombuck]

Awesome! Glad to know it’ll hold up well over time.

[@p_adam19]

There is a new, mirrorless Sigma 14-24 f2.8 lens, that is almost a pound lighter than this one, coming either in E-mount or L-mount. Hopefully, in a year or two, it will be released with an RF-mount as well.

[@tombuck]

I would love to see Sigma RF lenses at some point, especially if they’re reasonably priced.

[@paulbeckmann]

Great review as always!

[@tombuck]

Thanks Paul!

[@AnalyseSciences]

How about Tamron 15-30 mm 2.8 G2?

[@tombuck]

I haven't tried that one, but I'm curious about it. I don't really have any experience with newer Tamron lenses, but they get rave reviews.

[@ShaneFix]

Very useful review. I just settled on this lens myself for my Canon 6D MKii, though it hasn't arrived yet. Your review is making me feel better about the decision (over the Canon 16-35L F4 IS). I really wanted something faster than F4 but not at Canon prices (I already own too much expensive L glass). I use digital stabilization a lot so the image gets cropped. I believe this lens will work perfect in that scenario when my 24-70L f2.8 isn't quite wide enough. Sub'd!

[@tombuck]

I think you’ll love it. Aside from the weight, it’s an absolutely incredible lens (and the weight might not even be an issue for you). I love it 👍

[@ShaneFix]

@@tombuck Well, I'm already used to that heavy L glass, so it shouldn't be too bad. 😁

[@DavidKfilmmaker]

I got it to shoot narrative in cars. And small areas.

[@tombuck]

Cars with a super wide lens always look so awesome.

[@chadwickeearnest1191]

Hi Tom, what set up are you using for this video?

[@tombuck]

This was the EOS R with Sigma 24mm 1.4 lens.

[@chadwickeearnest1191]

@@tombuck Thanks for the reply! Incredible videos.

[@sonikempire]

This lens or canon 16-35mm f4 ISon 5dmk4. Mainly for landscape. I ordered the 16-35 and already having regrets, thoughts?

[@tombuck]

Honestly, I think you made the right choice. You really don’t need 2.8 for landscapes. Check out Thomas Heaton’s review of the 16-35. He uses it for brilliant landscapes, and I think it’ll make you really excited for your lens 👍

[@julioboostamante1]

Love The Aquabats Posters hanging

[@juanramoncruzalonso5979]

Can I use it with Viltrox adapter in Canon M50?

[@tombuck]

It’s an EF mount, so any EF adapter should work 👍

[@juanramoncruzalonso5979]

The Enthusiasm Project , yes but some lens EF mount like my 50 mm 1.2 has focus issues with Viltrox adapter. Thanks

[@dhdoctors]

For wide stuff, I mostly shoot D850 20mm 1.8 lightweight prime it usually works with incredible sharpness. For wider needs I have the 14mm Rokinon 2.8 manual, it's actually a pretty good budge wide angle, but man it's hard to nail focus unless you're on sticks shooting landscape. I just ordered the Sigma14-24 it's pretty obvious Nikon needs to update some of their iconic glass.

[@tombuck]

Annual focus is definitely an art form of its own. Hopefully you’ll love the Sigma! It’s a really great lens.

[@_kylepoole]

You've sold me on this !!

[@SMOKEYoriginalHD]

I'm Sony user and I had Tamron 17-28mm before. Even it was pretty wide for shooting landscape and I mostly I had zoomed it in on 28mm, on other side I liked Sigma when you zoomed out on 14mm and took pictures in nature for example, it gave you that depth/distance between you and what you shoot when you check it on the photo. Some ppl say that 14mm might be for a lot of ppl harder to use than 17mm for example but idk. Wider is better and you can always zoom in. :D

[@tombuck]

This would be a really fun lens’s for landscapes. A lot of it is personal taste- I love wide lenses.

[@wilsonbatuyong1147]

nice video. just want to ask, did u use the adaptor in eos r when u use this lens? i was thinking about nd filter and the canon has this adaptor with nd filter build in.

[@tombuck]

I use the regular EF to RF adapter, but I did make a video about the ND adapter. They all work great!

[@Etibarjafar]

NIKON 14 24 MM or Sigma 14 24 mm ? buy this lens ?

[@tombuck]

I haven’t used the Nikon, but it looks like there’s a $200-$300 price difference between them. The Sigma is outstanding though, especially for the price.

[@Etibarjafar]

@@tombuck Thanks

[@encuadrevizual9192]

you recommend this 14-24 for interiors and exteriors pictures? i have a nikon d850 but idk between nikon 16-35 f4or this Sigma

[@tombuck]

I’d always recommend a 2.8 lens over f4 when possible if your budget will allow it, especially if you’re doing anything indoors.

[@encuadrevizual9192]

@@tombuck thanks

[@InfernoBaybeee]

If you had to choose one, would you choose sigma 14-24 or the sigma 24? Oh and love your content. It's definitely helping me. I just purchased the eos r with 35mm f1.8 and I wanted to get another lense that can deal with the 4k crop and if not 4k crop i want something that is sharp in 1080p. Oh and do the sigmas allow you to use the other frame options? I heard other 3rd party cameras may gray out other options on the EOS R. I'm new to the camera world lol so if I didn't word any of this right I apologize. 😅

[@tombuck]

I would personally choose the 24 1.4 for sure! But It's my favorite lens and I'm really biased. Have you looked at the MetaBones EF-RF speedbooster? It's pricey but seems really good, and takes the 4K crop all the way down to 1.2x. I've watched a lot of videos on it and it seems like a great option. Oh, and I haven't had any issues with Sigma lenses in terms of limiting frame rates or focusing or anything. Good luck! Glad the videos have been helpful!

[@InfernoBaybeee]

@@tombuck Thanks for the response but may I ask why you would choose th 24 1.4 over the 14-24? And yes I thought about it too but the price for it right now is a lot lol maybe once I have an established channel I will do so.

[@tombuck]

I just prefer a 1.4 lens to a 2.8 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@InfernoBaybeee]

@@tombuck as simple and honest as it gets. Lol so they basically are both good. Just comes down to preference. Got it thank you and you have gained a subscriber here. Thank you.

[@KaiTiura]

Wow! Only 35 likes and 338 views since November??? This is a great review! I have an EOS R and this would really fill the bill for KZbin vids in 4K! The weight will be a factor (I have a 70-200 lens and if it's even close, it will be a beast to hoist for long periods... but I don't do long periods... I do three dots. ;) ) Plus, I have a Weebill S gimbal that it might work with (I'll have to check around due to the weight) which would solve the stabilization issue. I'm seriously considering this lens now thanks to this review. Is your link an affiliate link, because if I buy, and it is, I will buy through your link unless I can find it cheaper elsewhere. Thanks for the review!

[@tombuck]

Thanks Kai! I haven’t done a direct wight comparison, but it’s REAL close to a 70-200. The wide angle for 4K with the R is a really great benefit for sure. And yes, it’s an affiliate link. 😬

[@KaiTiura]

The Enthusiasm Project since it's so short, it may actually balance on the Weebill S, and it's got monster motor torque so even if I have to remove the EVF cover to keep it from hitting the rear motor when shooting video it's not an issue for such a benefit.

[@tombuck]

I was able to balance on the Romin S, if that’s any help.

[@KaiTiura]

The Enthusiasm Project it is, since the Weebill S has some serious horsepower in the motors.

[@DuceLeeTV]

I like the honesty 👍🔥

[@tombuck]

Thank you! I really appreciate hearing that.

[@DuceLeeTV]

@@tombuck so would ypu recommend this for real estate photo and video?? Commercial, residential? Just wanted your personal opinion.

[@GiacomoZonco]

Great lens! I wonder how it compares to the 15-30 2.8 Tamron VC G2! That also sounds like a nice lens, even though it tops at 15 instead of 14

[@tombuck]

I’d be curious too, especially since I don’t really have any experience with Tamron.

[@EverydayFamilyFL]

A great addition to any sub-professional lineup.... Probably inferior to "L" series for certain pixel peeping pros, but for the everyday photographer/videographer there is no reason in the world this wouldn't be a great addition to your lineup. Great video, thanks for the "ultra-wide" love... I feel they don't get enough

[@tombuck]

To be honest, I tried to word this carefully since I don’t have personal experience with Tamron, but have heard nothing but good things.

[@digitalvizun5678]

@@tombuck Understood. After watching your Canon 16-35 F4 video, I decided to keep the Canon and sell the Tamron due to weight and cost of specialized filters. Now that the RF 16-35 with IS is out, that will be on my wishlist. Can't wait for 3rd party companies to start making RF lenses.

Not as cool as Casey Niestats scale.. 😂😂😂 Love sigmas Art! Never used the wide. Not sure if I want to save up for RF glass 😵🤢

[@tombuck]

I’m scared of the RF prices. 😬

[@KetansaCreatesArt]

Casey Niestat uses 10-22mm lens. Which makes him look like skinny hyperactive guy. And when you see him talking to camera, through someone else's camera, he appears like a Buffy swaying a little bit within small radius. Forget the RF. Gone are the days when Sigma used to make cheap substitutes/average quality lenses, that were focused only on low budget market ajenda. Now their research has reached ultimate heights while keeping the budget part intact. Close your eyes and open them through Sigma Art, you will be happier for lifetime.

[@codythep]

Kketansa Art I’m a sigma fanboy. I’ve got 3 lenses, two art series! Love em. But I was talking about Casey Niestats “drug scale” from his DJI mini video which I believe came out on the same day as this one. Just being “funny”
