Why Every Filmmaker Owns This Lens (Legendary Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 Pros & Cons)

Look up every cinema rig from Blackmagic or Canon and they have this lens attached. It's in every video shooter's arsenal. An unheard of super fast zoom covering a decent range of 18-35mm f1.8 on aps-c. Testing it out on the full frame Canon R8. Pros and cons to Sigma lenses in general. Sharpness at the cost of 3d pop and micro contrast? What I look for in a lens.

Yep. There's a reason the 24-70 Art mid-range zoom sells used for nearly the MSRP.

[@danncorbit3623]

I have a boatload of Sigma Art lenses (I have a set both for Canon and for Nikon), and I adore them. sure, the 135mm weighs the same as some long telephoto lenses, but I love the look it produces anyway. If I'm shooting a prime off of a tripod, it's probably a Sigma. To compound my sins, I like the Tamron SP primes for hand held work because they are stabilized. I don't own a single Zeiss or Voitlander lens. I do also have a collection of very old glass (mostly old M42 screw mount lenses and Nikon ai and ais lenses) but generally speaking, I prefer autofocus lenses with all other things being equal.

3D Pop is real, but I was surprised to see in the test shots of the Sigma vs your Zeiss 55mm, that actually the Sigma looked just as 3D! It's nowhere near the Voigtlander 20mm but it's not bad. Proud to say I've owned the 18-35mm for 8 years now and will never sell it, I just keep adapting it to new camera bodies.

[@darrenorange2982]

I think the 3D pop is really just contrast. The Sigma has a lot more contrast vs the other lenses and in general is sharper and has more detail. This can be tweaked in post or with a filter. Sigmas are fairly clinical.

[@audioupgrades]

The Zeiss 55mm is actually a Sony lens; made by Sony with a rented Zeiss badge. The Voigtlander is actually a Cosina lens, made by Cosina with a rented Voigtlander badge. They're not bad lenses but it is wrong to take the licensed logo literally. They are not actual Zeiss or Voigtlander lenses, so if you think they are magical because of the logo, you are wrong.

[@PixPete]

@@darrenorange2982 its a hotly debated topic but i think there has to be more to it than contrast - i just bought some old Yashica lenses and the contrast is low but the 3D pop is unreal.

[@PixPete]

@@audioupgrades very true! Do you know where to find out which lenses are rebadged or is it just word of mouth?

[@audioupgrades]

@@PixPete Voigtlander went bankrupt decades ago so no genuine Voigtlander lenses are made any more. Zeiss has outsourced their production of camera lenses to Asia but they are tiered according to manufacturing standards (price indicates). Most Zeiss-branded lenses sold for Sony were actually Sony lenses, with some exceptions, such as Batis, Loxia, Touit etc. The information is out there.

[@simonc4764]

I recently filmed a boudoir shoot with a new Sigma Art 24-70 f2.8 MKII cost over £1200 and a Helios 44-2 bought £40 of ebay. The Helios put the Sigma to shame. The Helios felt like it got black mist, low contrast filters built in, the roll off was excellent, bokeh and overall feel made it look organic. The Sigma was harsh looking mess and if in good lighting look very video-ish.

[@herrreinsch]

I have a conspiracy: when sony releases their first "budged" medium format camera. The guys at Sigma will be: "gentlemen, that was our plan all along, we build 127 Lenses for medium format, and no one noticed a thing, I knew it from the very beginning it would pay off one day."

[@Panotaker]

Personally, I don't see the 3d pop you are talking about. I bet if you take the Pepsi challenge with those lenses, you won't see it either, at least not every time. On my OG and P4K, I have the MB .71 Speedbooster, and you can control the Tones on both cameras. The 18-35 goes down to F1.3 with the Speedbooster. That Sigma 16mm looks fantastic on the 6400, or any other camera, plus it's cheap. I rate the 18-35 #1, and the 16mm #2 as far as the best lenses from Sigma, at least the ones I have tried.

[@danncorbit3623]

For a fairly logical explanation of what "3-D Pop" is, see the article: "MICRO-CONTRAST, THE BIGGEST OPTICAL LUXURY OF THE WORLD". I do have one minor disagreement with the article, however. The author claims that 3-D pop is independent of resolution. That is incorrect. Imagine a single eight by ten inch pixel that has a billion color variations or shades of grey. When we look at it, we will see only one color, since it is only one pixel. In order for enormous dynamic range to be effective, high resolution is necessary, and the higher the better. On DXOMARK, the color depth is called "Portrait". What is being measured is how many different values can be stored in a single pixel (on a logarithmic scale).

@cameraconspiracies it is exactly what I am saying , you want to see the exif data to see zeiss and then the placebo effect starts , if you don't know which one is which , you see no 3d pop . it is just biased towards a thing you want to think it is best , it is called "Confirmation bias" read about it , the point is a blind test and you will point to the sigma and say this one has the pop . I am not defending Sigma ,my dad does not own this company so I don't to vouch for them , but you talked so many times about " a pop " which I did not really see and the sigma looked better to me. The most important to me in a lens is the lack of chromatic aberration. If there is any I puke and delete the video all together and sell the lens immediately.

[@Wildridefilms]

Please try to do a 3d pop blind test. About colour reproduction, every lens will be slightly different based on the coatings but as long as you white balance before the shot, it won't even matter. Also you seem to have absorbed all these buzzwords like 3d pop, micro contrast etc, from the theoria apophasis guy, who is a complete phoney. He uses complicated words to seem smart but once you parse through his word salad you'll start understanding that none of what he says actually makes sense. And this is across pretty much all the topics he covers. Please take a deeper look into his content

[@danncorbit3623]

He's something of a crank (I only watched his Angry Photographer series, his metaphysical stuff is not my cup of tea), and swears like a sailor, but his lens recommendations are usually good. His advice for lens cleaning is completely correct. He does not like Sigma either, but he loves Tamron (shrug). I have almost all of the lenses he raves about, and I like them too. There is room in the world for different opinions. Consider Jared Polin (I shoot raw) and Ken Rockwell (I shoot Jpeg). Personally, I shoot raw too, but look at Ken's images. They're great. There are contrasty lenses and lenses that wash out at the slightest hint of backlighting. For some people, contrast is very important. It's a viewpoint, and viewpoints are never wrong. "I like X!" "No that's wrong!" It's only wrong if he's lying because it's a viewpoint.

[@Wildridefilms]

@@danncorbit3623 I'm not saying that he doesn't know anything about lenses or photography, but he regularly adds nonsensical fluff words like the ones mentioned. If you cannot quantify a a particular character of a lens like in this case, 3D pop, then I don't think it exists. I'm sure the Zeiss, Leica and Voigtlander lenses are great and all, but there is no "Magic" about them.

@@Wildridefilms this isn't logical, but I truly believe that if you love your lens and camera, you will take better pictures with it. I agree that he likes hard to quantify expressions (and he is also repetitive). But if I an curious about an old (F mount or earlier) Nikon lens I will see what he has to say about it along with Ken Rockwell and Jared Polin. Contrast is not as important to me as some other people, besides which, I use a lens hood and am not afraid to use the contrast slider when I need it.

Statements like "This lens has more totally immeasurable polymorphic fluxions that give the viewer that certain je ne sais quoi" or similar gobbledygook are pointless, meaningless, useless and add nothing to the discussion. Contrast (for black and white) and color depth are easily quantifiable and impart more data density to the image for obvious reasons.

3d pop is real, I look at my Batis pictures, and they just look nicer and less "boring" than my 35mm GM pictures. And I have always just found it bizzare lens reviewers spend all this time talking about "corner sharpness", "distortion", etc. It's the most bizzare waste of time. Who takes a pictures for the corner to be sharp? And in the same review then they talk about bokeh. How sharp do they want the corner bokeh to be? Ridiculous and then they get really pissed when I make a comment on: hey it's a portrait lens, 85mm f1.2, why are you talking about corner sharpness?

Sigma lenses differ a lot. Their nicest lenses are the old DSLR lenses that are marked "EX DG" with tons of 3D pop and character. As you're using DSLR versions of Canon lenses, it wouldn't be difficult to find some old Sigmas too. The Sigma 50mm f1.4 EX DG HSM is a legendary secret sauce lens (I have several copies in case I lose some). The Art lenses are good for shooting clean images. The Contemporary lenses have a bit more character. In short, Sigma has almost every type of lens that you could want.

Im going to be blaming sigma for all my problems now haha

[@modiartstudio]

If was a FF lens could be the best one

Thank you for warning me that I just gave again an undeserved monetising click to a non-fullframe video..

[@giannagiavelli5098]

I prefer the YY lens much more it is the greatest lens ever made for video

[@LiveAnotherDay24]

Why do you keep trying to prove the 3D pop of Zeiss, Leica etc by comparing them with shorter focal length lens of others? Is it a joke? Of course at 55mm you will have better separation with 35mm.

[@cameraconspiracies]

The Sigma is an aps-c lens... 56mm vs 55mm.

Time for a home makeover video? Gotta love when one system decides to make it so you have to turn the lens the opposite direction from every other known system when mounting the lens to the body. Have a rockin' day!

Honestly I record most of my KZbin Talking Heads with the Sigma 16-28mm F2.8 and it is not heavy at all; also usable for vlogging… it is no art lense though, but sharp for video on my A7IV (don‘t throw anything I know only 60fps in crop, but hey 120p in FHD 🤣). 3D Pop? Don‘t know, apparently not, but also personal preference, right!? Also did a review about this lense on my channel and Autofocus is, as you said very fast on it. Price, 899,- better than Sony’s 2000,- … Anyway, great entertaining video as always.

I wanna drink some 3D Pop. Where can I buy it?

[@MarcinAdamowicz]

Honestly? All of those lenses looks pretty much the same IF we talk about youtube show. I don't really get the pursuit for better look. I'd understand if your show was about something cinematic than maybe it would be worth to search for those extra 2% but talking head? Any lens is fine :) We are here for the entertainment

[@mdindestin]

Its likely been said below already, but Canon did you a favor by going in to crop mode. The 18-35mm is a crop sensor lens.

[@chromaticvisuelle]

Nikon 40 f2 is a gem! Get a z6iii please!!!!

[@Sparisland]

I always felt my Sigma 35, 1.4 would be a good crime-scene lens... All we want are the facts, ma'am.

[@aliceyellowdog]

“Some lenses are … soft … and it’s not like I like that.” Oh facepalm haha. That’s all you prefer lol. Every side by side comparison you seem to like the soft/blurry one. The Canon R8 vs EOS R video for example, at 8:45 discussing vintage vs. modern lenses. Love the channel.

[@Troy_Sent_A_Message]

You forgot the most important thing, Sigma's backwards manual focus ring. Not sure how you miss that major flaw.

[@lumikarhu]

well i'm with you but switching mentally takes like 1 second plus some people are just fine with sigma lenses only. the weight is worse imho
