V35 Project Sigmas Vs Sigma Cine/Classic

[@Yvesphotoandfilm]

I’m fortunate that Sigma lent me their primes for a couple of short films so now I’m looking into trying the classic. Interesting video here as I haven’t tried them yet

Really great work. Quick question on the Sigma "Classic Art" lenses - are they still f1.4 optical designs, and the missing coatings steal that stop and a half of light? I've gotta say I actually like them quite a bit but previously dismissed them for the speed. I wish lenses would come with both f and T numbers labeled.

I have Classics and they are the same optical formula as the the Cines so they are and f/1.4. You just lost so much light due to all of the internal reflections. One thing this also creates is quite a heavy vignette with a noticeable amount more light transmission in the center of the image and a general color wash that can occur if there is a bright saturated color entering the frame. They are quite fun to play with.

Love your tests and really like the way you made this creative bokeh! I have a question on the T Stop of the V35 Version. It seems that they are a quite bit darker compared to the Sigma Cine. (Obviously I do not know the other camera settings) Are the V35s still a T1.5?
