SONY a6700 + SIGMA 18-50 f2.8. Cinematic SLOG3 Footage.

Get my Presets & Luts here: stuartrodwell.co.uk/presets/
Just a walk with the Sony A6700 & Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 Zoom lens - testing out some Slog3 footage (which is still new to me).
Lens used in this vid: geni.us/S1cPU
Remember you’ll need a faster memory card like this geni.us/MV9gTe if you plan on shooting in 100/120 fps.
(This was the best priced one I could find that performed well in tests)
Keep on shooting and I’ll see you in the next one ✌🏼

Love this, Stuart! Beautifully put together. Such an enjoyable and relaxing watch 👏

[@StuartRodwell]

Thanks so much for the feedback 🙏🏻

[@somaralbertonuceteyepez2464]

this is so amazing

[@bensinger6655]

Every time I'm thinking about selling my Sony APSC gear, your stuff pops up in my feed and I change my mind. Hope Sony are giving you a cut!

[@void911]

Love the sound design . The lens seems to be really good as well . Great work ! Absolutely love it . Makes me want to go out there and practice more

[@StuartRodwell]

Thanks so much 🙏🏻 Yes finding the sounds took a bit more time but definitely think it was worth it. I love how compact this lens is. Glad it’s inspired you to head out with your camera 🙌🏻

[@void911]

@@StuartRodwell the time taken is definitely worth it , really brings the video together ! And the lens seems to be really worth it for what it's worth , i've been eyeing on this lens for a while now , glad to see you're able fully utilize the lens so well and show its capabilities. Thanks so much for your work , really inspiring :)

[@josefvozenilek8450]

Whooow. Amazing job

[@StuartRodwell]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@foggymossstudio]

Great work!

[@StuartRodwell]

Thanks! 🙌🏻

[@WilliamHenryAlbert]

Great video Stuart. What do you think of SLog3? I have been experimenting and have decided to shoot everything in SLog3. Have you tried S-Cinetone? Out of the two, I think SLog 3 has superior dynamic range, my vids have never looked so good. Even though the ISO is 800 it still has very little noise. Do you over expose by two stops?

[@chuawee]

Good video, Stuart! This is my goal camera+lens combo. Would also be interested in your take on S-Cinetone.

[@StuartRodwell]

Thanks! 🙌🏻 Yes I do plan on experimenting with S Cinetone too 👍🏻

[@sameeramin822]

Great video, is this the Kit lens of a6700???

[@Albertoabrian]

U should try with Tamton 70-300 like in my videos. It’s f4,5 but whent you bring it to outdoor, the quality is fantastic

[@natte9862]

i also have the Tamron 18-300..very good lens🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@BrettAhoPhotography]

Very NICE! Colour grade you did is pretty cool and the handheld looks impressive on the a6700. Did you do any additional stabe in post? Cheers! - Brett

[@StuartRodwell]

Thanks Brett 🙏🏻 The stabe isn’t perfect but it’s a whole lot better than the A6600. Nope, didn’t use any warp stabiliser - I was tempted to add some to the clip of me walking, but decided against it so that people could get a real world idea of how it looks.

[@ivan9874]

Hi is the focus the same super responsive with this lens? Or is it better Samyang AF 24-70mm F2.8 FE? Thanks

[@shaquillenoeltv]

the quality of this camera is insaneee for the price

[@StuartRodwell]

Agreed! 🙌🏻

[@Tangierer]

Wonderful footage! The environment sound was recorder over internal Mic?

[@StuartRodwell]

Thank you 🙏🏻 No I added the sound effects in an attempt to add some sound design 👍🏻

[@lilcoln]

Great video Stuart! I have the same setup and I am wondering, did you use 25 or 50 FPS in the editing software when all of your clips were shot in 50 FPS? Cheers :)

[@StuartRodwell]

Thanks man! 🙌🏻 I worked in a 25fps timeline but interpreted all the 50fps to 25fps (which is what effectively turns it into slow motion footage - 50% real speed) Hope that makes sense.

[@lilcoln]

@@StuartRodwell thanks for your reply! So all of the shots are in slow-mo? Looks great!

[@nomadikmind3979]

how are you liking the camera? specifically the photos. Idk, i feel like most of the stuff ive seen, i dont really like compared to the a6600, there seems to be a very different quality to them that i cant quite pinpoint. It has me thinking if passing on the a6700 for something full frame maybe

[@rsat9526]

I have had A6600 over 2 years and bought A6700 when it was released. I can confidently say that the A6600 is ok and not a night and day different compared to the A6700. However, the A6700 is noticeably better when it comes to color and overall look of the picture and more important those QoL features especially the AI auto focus. It is so snappy and easy to use. For VDO, it is not even a competition to begin with since the A6700 is a huge step up for what it can do vs the A6600.

[@skrapyd1]

Excelente video, estoy por formar este combo.

[@StuartRodwell]

Thanks! It’s a powerful combination! 👊🏻

[@pudsboi5203]

I’ve had mixed results with the slog 3 … I’ve tried different exposures from 0 to + 2. Sometimes it’s great at +1 +1.7 +0.7 etc and sometimes it’s rubbish. Think I need more practice

[@StuartRodwell]

Yeah I’m still experimenting with it. I’ve kinda found that just shooting with the gamma assist LUT and eyeballing exposure on the monitor is kinda working better!

[@MoreData-hz8hm]

Do u think this combo (a6700 + sigma 18-50) is good for someone's FIRST camera and lens?

[@StuartRodwell]

Yeah I’d say that’s a pretty powerful little combo 👍🏻

[@MoreData-hz8hm]

@@StuartRodwell thank u thank u thank u

[@mujtabajuya8499]

Can you make a video about using this lense for talking head youtube videos? Can I buy this instead of Sigma 16 1.4? Would the bokeh look good? Thank you.

[@StuartRodwell]

Great idea! I’ll do a quick video on this in the near future. The bokeh would definitely be more apparent on the Sigma 16mm but it also depends on other factors such as distance to subject - and the distance from the subject to the background.

[@mujtabajuya8499]

I want to buy one lens that can do it all. I think this lens might be the one. I will use your affiliate link. Thanks :)@@StuartRodwell

[@klickbeastppc]

I don't regret buying the 16 and 30mm but in retrospect the 18-50 might have been the smarter option starting out.

[@StuartRodwell]

Appreciate it 🙏🏻
