Using Sigma Art Lenses With the Nikon Z6. A Phenomenal Combo

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Hey guys back with another one, had a great experience with the new Sigma and Z6 combo. Hopefully this helps! - Will

[@duanemcclun]

Will.... You said you were trying to stream line in keeping up with emails to answer questions. It's nice that you have generously have allowed your viewers to email you at your photography email address. Even though I have emailed you I kinda dislike clogging up your photography business email with emails from me. Two suggestions - maybe create a second email address solely for questions that your viewers might have. The second suggestion is maybe try having a 'live' broadcast where people could ask questions and you would respond to their questions. Best, Duane

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

That’s a great ideas Duane. I think I will try a live stream this week!

[@a.b.3666]

Z50 with the sigma art 18-35 f1.8 would be a sweet setup ;)

[@troyphillips1077]

The 18-35 is destined to be a cult classic. It’s just a phenomenal lens . I got one when they first came out besides all the reviews bashing its short focal lenght. It’s perfect for me and so are the photos

[@TizOnly1]

You're 100% right on the calibration piece on Art lenses. All Art lenses have weird focusing issues, where they back focus sometimes, front focus on other times, and there's no real way to make it work consistently. This goes away with mirrorless, so Art lenses (which were already good enough to be worth using on DSLR even with the focus inconsistencies) are no brainier choice on mirrorless.

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Totally agree!

[@ralfjansen9118]

Why do Sigma lenses have these issues and others don't?

[@SneekeeMonkee]

So is it necessary to get the Sigma Dock if buying DSLR Sigma art lenses to adapt to Nikon Z?

[@sottosopra4769]

Sorry, me english is no so good. Did you wrote that sigma art are not so good on a mirrorless?

[@TizOnly1]

@@sottosopra4769 no, the opposite. Art lenses are REALLY good on mirrorless

[@cliffordjean-felix5704]

The sigma 85 1.4 with Nikon Z6ii is phenomenal. Very happy with the sigma lenses as well.

[@TiboDeRycke]

Does the FTZ 1 adapter make noise with the sigma art when autofocussing for video?

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

Great video. I like a review based on real word use. I'm finding your channel very useful as although I have done a few events I'n not what I would call a pro event photographer yet, so any tips I pick up are always handy. I love my Sigma lenses. They perform well and are such good value. Do you carry two bodies during the event. If so, how? I use a dual strap thing but I'm always looking for a better method.

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Hey Scott, Thanks for watching man. Yes I carry 2 bodies all day! One is on a black rapid side sling and one is around my neck. Seems to work best for me as I often take off the neck camera when I’m laying on the ground.

[@samfoley5858]

Back with another one! I’ve been waiting to see how you liked the lens at the wedding. Thanks for posting

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Had a great experience for sure but still need to test to see if I will ultimately keep it. Looks good so far!

[@job21marc]

I have the Sigma 30mm f1.4 (for a APS-C) sensor Nikon and I love, it's super sharp and the picture quality is great. Now I just ordered the Z6 and I hope to keep using it (even if it's with crop mode) because I really like that lens. Maybe later I'll think about selling it and getting one for FF. Anyone with experience using a crop sensor lens in the Z6?

[@caleidoo]

14:40 Suprised you didn't know that the AF on a dslr and mirrorless like the Z6 work completely differently. Fase detection vs contrast detection. One of the reasons I went for a Z6 is to eliminate the erratic and unreliable fase detection AF on my Sigma Art lenses - I have the 20, 35 & 50 F1.4. Like you said, on the Z6, the AF is always spot on. There is no weak chain that can mess things up. Which was the case when using Sigma Art lenses and their reversed engineered fase detection AF on Nikon DSLR's.

[@sottosopra4769]

I want to buy a 2nd hands 24mm 1.4 sigma art for video on my Z6 There are no af problems?

[@caleidoo]

@@sottosopra4769 I have the 20 1.4, 35 1.4 and 50 1.4 Sigma Art on my Z6. All working well. There was a firmware update for one of those, but not sure which one. The USB dock for sigma lenses is about 60 dollar/euro. So if that 24 1.4 is in good shape and in no need for a firmware update, it will work well. You should test of course. But video is rarely done in AF only of course.

[@tonyhayes9827]

Thanks for this man. Bloody awesome video, always practical and informative. Seriously tempted by Sigma 40mm f 1.4 HSM ART

[@TheCrisimos]

Art lenses are awesome but that art 85 which is amazing lens too is heavier than the 50 and it will be very front heavy kit...

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

I’ve heard great things

[@p3rrypm]

Ha! I agree! That’s why I Love the Fuji stuff, it gets out of my way and just lets me enjoy shooting. I don’t mind the Nikon stuff, but the experience is why, even though I own a Z6, I cannot shake the Fuji, I just enjoy it too much.

[@martijnbloemhard9257]

Nice to know i’ ve got the 24mm sigma too and wanted to buy the z6 too but wasnt sure about the autofocus. It did fine on my d750 with some finetuning on the usb-dock

[@ivansmiljkovic88]

Most of youtubers say 3rd part lenses dont work fine with Z sistem and FTZ adapter....this is nice to hear.

[@LMActionsports]

Well after already having the sigma 35mm f1.4 and I sold it for not using it enough and I barely shoot that wide. Well after picking up the new Nikon 50 & 85 f1.8S lenses I thought I would be fine with everything I normally shoot. Well a client wanted some family photos in a small living room and my 50mm was not wide enough. So I pulled out my old 35-70 f2.8D lens in my other camera bag and had to manually focus it on my z6. It worked great but with restless kids trying to manual focus was not easy. So I went and picked up another Sigma 35mm f1.4 so I can start doing wider shots for my clients. My style is up close and love compression and using it properly you can take a bad background and make it an amazing shot. I thought about buying a 24-70 but I love using primes and they keep me from standing in one spot. So I seen enough reviews on why a 35mm is vital to master its time to be open minded with my style. Love your channel!

[@jurgenvanhest9913]

Hey man, amazing vid once again. Would you, budgetwise, advice me to buy a 24mm 1.4Art instead of the 24mm S-lens? How about focussing in lowlight situations?

[@andreivohkal]

The 24mm Sigma Art 1.4 on FTZ works well. It focuses great in lowlight

[@mannyva01]

I have 2 tamron lenses... both g2 .... 24-70 & 70-200 and both are f/2.8 .... I love this combo for now on my z6 especially after updating the firmware.... I have zero issues..... and I have 1 sigma 105 f/2.8 macro which is a beast..... actually this lens worked a lot better on my z6 then it did my d7100.... but I am extremely impressed by what I get off of all 3 lenses.... eventually I will switch over to Nikon's lenses but for now I am happy with what I have.... and focus is fast on all 3

[@joshuameadows4165]

I adapt my 85, and 105 sigma art lenses. The 105mm is my favorite lens and it's gorgeous on my z7 and for me it's worth the weight for the output. I go back and forth on the 85 art, I keep considering swapping it out with the Nikon 85mm S lens. The 50mm Nikkor Z s-lens is beautiful and I keep thinking the weight savings might be good on the Nikkor S vs Sigma Art

[@AngelBerniz]

I agree with your vision on gear. I am looking one perfect lens for my Z6, not sure if it will be this Sigma or the Nikkor 35mm 1.8. More suggestions?

[@zsozsousa1]

I own this lens and the 85mm A as well. Both are excellent glasses.I would not buy any other third party lenses.

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Thinking about getting the 85 myself. Really liking theses lenses bro

[@zsozsousa1]

Yes, I know... it's hard to not like the 35. The 85mm extremely heavy, twice as the 35 mmm which was a little bit of issue for me at the beginning with my dslr but with the Z6 feels a lot better (just got the Z6). With the D850 was very difficult to do sharp hand held shoots below 1/200 sec. and wide open or bellow f2. With the Z6 even wide open the images are tack sharp. Great investments for very reasonable price. @@TheMonochromeMemoirs

Excellent. Will probably pull the trigger on this one!

[@richardbierman9856]

[@Realletsplaygrey]

Yo I totally agree with you man. I shot weddings for about 7 years which of course isn't terribly long, but I'd have people at the gigs themselves, ya know, the uncle with the camera , trying to tell me about my gear and how full frame is a scam, and i don't need that big ol' lens (70-200). Literally countless times. And i'm just like, dude, I've shot thousands upon thousands of images with this stuff, I know what works for my specific desire. Dang, rant over, that whole chat you had about people not actually using gear really triggered me haha. Anyway, I love Sigma, glad you enjoyed this lens!

[@jpettus1175]

I agree, Sigma Art lenses are the best. I shoot with a Nikon D850 and the Sigma Art series. Planning to go mirrorless soon by keeping the D850, Still the best DSLR ever built.

[@TheGeoDaddy]

The FTZ is a bit of a kluge. I find it very impractical when it comes to using the Z6 on a Gimbal, less so on a Slider, incompatible with cages like the 8simm which require you to screw on and off the extra FTZ support making it impossible to switch lenses... quickly.

I own a Tamron 24-70 2.8 G2 (with FTZ adapter) and 24-70 f4 S lens for the Z6. Over time, the 24-70 f4 S has become the go-to lens and lives on the Z6. If size and weight are added to your performance equation, The Nikon 24-70 f4 S has a real advantage compared to the heavier Tamron with FTZ adapter. I have a choice of hauling around the Z6 & 24-70 f4 S lens or a D850 & Tamron 24-70 2.8 G2. Guess which setup spent a week's trip to the west coast with me. With the Z6's good iso performance, I really don't even think of f4 compared to f2.8 as an issue. On Kijiji, there's a few Nikon 24-70 f4 S lenses on sale from owners who bought kits at good prices. I hope that helps. Cheers Hamish

[@antoninkriz7132]

Question is, why did not put Nikon the rubber gasket around the new z mount - they have new lenses, there will be no additional restriction to nikon or the other lens manufacters.. If you have weather sealing on your camera the problem is solved whether the lens is weathersealed or not.. Same thing with Canon EOS R where the shutter covers the sensor when the lens is off, thats brilliant idea :)

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Would’ve loved to see a gasket on the mount for sure.

[@terrywbreedlove]

I have been shooting my Olympus cameras for years and never a problem with the sensor not having the shutter over it. The cleaning thing that happens every start up works like a charm.

[@terrywbreedlove]

A gasket on the camera might see more wear and tear changing different lenses. Because that one gasket is doing all the work. Putting the gasket on the lens reduces that tremendously

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

@@terrywbreedlove Good point!

[@fellowcitizen]

@@TheMonochromeMemoirs Sigma's native lens mount is now the L mount (with Panasonic+Leica) and they're releasing these ART primes in coming months in L mount (and E mount) with rubber gaskets. ART lenses with "dust- and splash-" resistance in SLR mounts: 14/28/40/70/105/135, 14-24/24-70/100-400 (the new 70-200 is a 'Sports' lens.) The 'Sports' lenses have always had weather-sealing, and the newer ART lenses added gaskets to the SLR mounts due to popular demand from about 2017 onward, I think (i.e. excluding 20/24/35/50, 85? except in L or E mounts where they do have them). P.S. Note that there is also a 24mm FOV APS-C 'Contemporary' lens: 16/30/56mm f/1.4 for L (due 2020Q1), E, m4/3 mounts with dust/splash-res. Plus a newly designed line of full-frame mirrourless lenses (L mount, probably E mount, perhaps Z mount later - they haven't ruled it out) begin launching 2020Q1, and the wide-angle lenses can be made smaller and with better corner performance due to the short-flange.

[@LMActionsports]

Sorry to hear you are having trouble with your 70-200 g2 and 45mm f1.8 Vic by tamron . I have both well had the 45mm VC but sold it. But by updating the firmware with the TAP console by tamron for the 70-200 g2 it is a flipping beast on my z6. Mind blowing on how accurate it is and with eye auto focus. But I contacted tamron in June when I received my z6 and asked if they had any updates for their lenses for the Z6 and they only had it for the G2 and not the 45mm vc and they had no clue when they were going to release an update for the 45mm So that is why I sold it. But now Tamron released that they are going to update and release firmware’s for all their SP lenses and it might be out already. So I just wanted to let you know this because I am using the 70-200 g2 without every day without any problems. I hope this helped

Hi. I think your channel has enormous potential but for me there is perhaps too much focus on Nikon and lenses However I wish you well

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Thanks for your thoughts Stephen. Im planning to do some more lectures on my creative process soon, stick around!

[@VistasNatureWildlifeFilms]

@@TheMonochromeMemoirs would be looking forward to that. I talk about the gear I have, but I try not to be gear-centric. I think more creative videos around photography are needed on this platform.

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Thanks for the input Ed and I totally agree. I mainly made this video because I promised I would since I rarely add new lenses. My channel vision is definitely centered on developing creative vision and real ice things we can do do make better photos. There will be some gear stuff thrown in as well though! Thanks for watching brother

[@VistasNatureWildlifeFilms]

@@TheMonochromeMemoirs Totally understand (the gear stuff). It is hard to cover photography, even creatively, without once in awhile talking about the gear you use. However I think it there is huge difference between talking about gear you own and use, and doing unboxings and reading specs to viewers of something you'll never put real use. Not the same kind of gear videos IMO. Keep it up (I tried to do some B&W themed vlogs but it wasn't fitting my style)

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Totally agree Ed! I just try to give a realistic perspective of what I go through as a working photog on a daily basis. Gotta keep it honest

3 minutes in and we haven’t gotten to a point. Just a heads up, ancillary subjects should be left for the end of subject driven listed vids. Thanks for the info after the long introduction.

from 3;30 to 4:30 you lost one subscriber...... Mr. Ken Wheeler a/k/a angry photographer, he's an unapologetic closed minded SIgma hater

[@TheMonochromeMemoirs]

Unfortunately you’re probably right! Hate brand nazis

[@jorgebarrantes1386]

@@TheMonochromeMemoirs he hates canon, sony and sigma, dismisses 99% of their products without touching them, yet he calls himself a hardcore "truth seeker"

[@duanemcclun]

In watching the Angry Photographer he had talked about a bad experience with a Sigma lens. I don't own any art lenses but I do own a Sigma 17-50 f2.8 OS HSM DX lens and have been happy with it. I know another KZbin photography site where that person had a bad experience with a Tamron lens and admitted he had a problem in recommending Tamron but he was truthful in explaining what had happened. I think sometimes a bad experience with any type of product can make a person biased against that product. I've never owned a Sony camera and I wouldn't take one even if they gave me one. Why? Because my camera store told me Sony was one of the hardest companies they had to work with to get faulty cameras repaired/warranty work. I think every major camera or lens manufacturer has made a bad copy where a customer had to return it. One reason is I think the manufacturer's quality control has allowed some bad copies to be sold to their customers. Will, I agree with you - I don't care what brand of photography equipment I use, just as long as the equipment meets my needs. Will - and I'm glad to hear that your photo shoot went well! Best of luck in your photography journey Duane
