Sigma's New Lenses | Field Test - 35mm f/1.2 DG DN Art

[@vinhle3272]

How is this lense compared to sony zeiss distagon 35mm f1.4. For picture quality? Sony zeiss is s bit more expensive.

[@KobusGevelspar]

Really nice and complete review! Kudos.

[@TomasRamoska]

5:17 From f1.4 to f1.2 is only 1/3 stop difference not 1 stop 😊

[@fellowcitizen]

Half-stop not third-stop

[@TomasRamoska]

@@fellowcitizen 1/3 Stop this is how aperture works in 1/3 f1.4 f1.2 f1.1 f1

[@fellowcitizen]

@@TomasRamoska half-stop sequence notation is 1.4 / 1.2 / 1.0 May have to ask Sigma. 1.0 x 1.0 = ~1 1.2 x 1.2 = ~1.4 1.4 x 1.4 = ~2 1.7 x 1.7 = ~2.8 2.0 x 2.0 = ~4 2.4 x 2.4 = ~5.6 2.8 x 2.8 = ~8

[@christopherfrost]

It's definitely 1/3 stop

[@fellowcitizen]

@@christopherfrost Thanks, Christopher, I trust your observations

[@karthikjayavel5524]

is this lens compatible with Sony a6400?

[@carllinney122]

What camera u use ?

[@szmeros1644]

verry nice video..what a model this sony you use on this film? Is really good ? hat about af..I ask because my friend has one of full frame sony and is hurrible...thanks

[@biggamec2inet]

I like your style of presentation. Your voice is pleasant, articulation is very good and not overused music. The presentation of the lenses or cameras are to the point on whats important for that particular product. Well done and keep it up

[@afrank3029]

I allways accidentaly adjust the apreture ring when I want to hold the lense while pointing with it, its so annoying....! Anybody else struggles with this issue!? :/

[@christopherfrost]

I love this content :-)

[@fellowcitizen]

My inclination is to the ART40mmF1.4, though the fact that this is designed for the L mount, and has the aperture (and is exotic) does draw me in.

[@johnfretz8199]

Just happened across your channel. Thanks for the review. Super helpful.

[@SalmanMKC]

The 35mm 1.2 is amazing! I have filmed a few videos on my KZbin with it

[@ChillWithMe_musics]

I will definitely stick to my Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art lens, that lens is really compact and optically amazing (has some vignetting which can be easily corrected, so it doesnt matter). I would definitely not carry gargantuan lenses like the 35 1.2 or the 40 1.4, when the 35mm 1.4 Art does it all. Optically it's absolutely great wide open, and the light gathering is very similar too. For me practical use is more important than pixel peeping at 300%. And still the 35mm 1.4 Art is astonishing at 300% as well... There is no practical use of the new Sigma Art lenses for portrait photographers. (like the 105, 40 or this one, all gigantic and heavy lenses)

[@denyxrunner]

I must agree for 99% of people the 35 1.4 is fine but this 35 and the 40 especially are design to beat the 4000$ otus and just give you the best without compromise. They actually get to the otus level which is very impressive and are just on another whole league

[@eoghanhennessy15]

Longer primes?

[@Kprawl291986]

Right? Wish Sigma made some great primes like the Zeiss Batis line

[@fellowcitizen]

@@Kprawl291986 Several Sigma ART lenses have out-classed the OTUS line in pure performance

[@Kprawl291986]

@@fellowcitizen Yeah okay. Can you show me your personal test on that? Because I am sure I have personal test these lenses before on my A7RIII/A7RIV

[@fellowcitizen]

@@Kprawl291986 Roger Cicala of LensRentals has had a number of very thorough tests, as have LensTip and others. But, you're right, ultimately it comes down to personal applications. I love my ART and ZM glass, but thus far they inhabit different paradigms (until I can get hold of the FF Foveon in L mount, or an S1 or fp). BTW Roger just started a podcast: kzbin.info/aero/PLpPM_k-5RiDDOvE0Gg9RE5O1gKpqzvr6Q

[@fellowcitizen]

@@Kprawl291986 P.S. this is off-topic, but what's your take on the Zeiss ZX1? When one is being so exacting with one's glass, it makes sense to wish to couple it to a sensor to draw the most from it.

[@BrianIrwin]

@wex I have owned and loved many Sigma Art lenses on my Canons, their one Achilles heel for me has been focus, I am fine with the bulk of the lenses. via the MC-11 on my Sonys they seem to be pretty good, but wonderinf how you found focus on this lens (given the f1.2 it needs to be fast and accurate). Thanks in Advance, and love the videos.

[@eoghanhennessy15]

Brian Irwin it’s as good as the 1.4 is at 1.4, but at 1.2 it’s a little bit slower - I’ve rented this lens for the past week and used it on a portrait and automotive shoot so far, and ended up using MF more often than AF

[@fellowcitizen]

The focus accuracy issues apply only to SLRs - which need to be tuned individually via the dock. Also, the focussing engines of the SLR lenses tends not to be optimised for video/smooth AF, but this is a mirrourless-designed lens so will not have that problem. I guess, the other consideration is just that they're very fast lenses, so AF is more challenging for the cameras and the photographers.

[@eoghanhennessy15]

@@fellowcitizen It's not an issue of focus accuracy, but acquisition of focus and the occasional false-positive from the camera. This is typical of 3rd party lenses though, nothing new...

[@fellowcitizen]

@@eoghanhennessy15 Oh ok, thanks. I recall Sigma stating somewhere that people could send their SLRs in to calibrate the lens to it because there was a lot of variance between models from the same manufacturer. I've only used SLRs a handful of times a long time ago, so never had to deal with the separate phase-detect etc myself.

[@eoghanhennessy15]

@@fellowcitizen Yes that is true, and you can use the Sigma USB dock to perform that as well. My particular camera (a7ii) is not known for being very strong at focusing, but it does have both phase and contrast detect systems on the sensor. You may not see any issues with the a7iii for example on the new 35 1.2, but compared with sigmas own 35 1.4, it was similar in terms of focus performance on my camera - and reviews seem to mirror this.

[@hobisikaryawan]

With a model, please

[@Aurongel]

Excellent video 😀.

[@James-dy6zh]

Isnt it better to buy the sigma 14-24mm zoom? And then use crop mode for another focal lenght? And then a 24-105?

[@johnclay7644]

Thanks Wex

[@malenky4057]

I guess it all comes down to price with this one.

[@TrungLeNOLA]

Lol is this thing bigger than the Canon RF 70-200 F2.8?

[@norbertkuck1550]

Ist ja auch 4,5x lichtstärker

[@kastanasvasilis]

From f1.4 to f1.2 is only 1/3 stop difference not 1 stop. Also it is not the 1st AF F/1.2 Lens. In general, nice review

[@ab85main73]

This lens is disgustingly huge lol

[@limagepicture9023]

...and.....

[@James-dy6zh]

iloper its still smaller then canon eos r and the rf kit lens

[@Super01041994]

My sigma 135 1.8 is smaller than this lens. 😅😅

[@CharlieVN]

not by much, I've got one too, would love the 35, but will wait till possibly after christmas, these sigma's typically dont retain value very well and drop fast.

[@Super01041994]

@@CharlieVN I don't own a 35mm but I'm going for the Sony version FTW! Small and light, precise and fast AF, my 85 is just an awesome lens and I can't keep myself buying the 35 1.8

[@denyxrunner]

@@Super01041994 well you can't really compare this sigma to the sony 35mm... This sigma is for people who want otus design and quality... I'm sure you don't compare that little sony to a 4k otus
