I love the Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 lens. I've heard some people say it's "too sharp". That's like saying water is too wet. You can tone down sharpness in post, if that's what you want. But, adding sharpness in post is more likely to cause problems like "haloing" along the edges in the image. The Sigma 18-35 is a must have in my book.

You can buy filters that gives lenses certain aesthetics as well. I hate this trend of "too sharp" and "clinical" as well. There's a reason why we're seeing so many creative filters. I'd rather have a collection of sharp lenses that I can attach creative filters to than have a lens that does only one look well.

All the zoom options from the DZO lineup are pretty heavy and not ideal for a small ronin rs2 setup with float or advanced grip. So the 18-35 has won again and will stay in my kit. Its unbeaten when it comes to weight, sharpness and performance.

But the lenses would be giant (each would be around 1,5-2kg) The 24-35mm F2 was already bigger than the 24-70mm F2.8 The 120-300mm F2.8 is 3,5kg, i think people underestimate the size impact such fast lenses cause. If those lenses would exist tomorrow, i would bet you would not buy them because they would be too big and heavy.

why not make it an 18-100 1.2, while you are at it? I am afraid that sigma had pushed the specs quite to the max back then. They wanted to create a lens that put them on the map as a serious contender, which the 18-35 absolutely did. But while I absolutely would buy a 18-35 mm full frame for sony FE, I think that thing would be much too heavy, and now that sigma is on the map, I do not think they will make such an extremely cost-calculated product again. Better AF would obviously be very nice, but stabilisation would probably make the lens too heavy. And IS is not as crucial anymore, since most new cameras have inbody. I have tried the 18-35 on a sony a1, and the inbody is quite sufficient.

Faster aperture, you get the same DoF as f/2.8 on ff, but you can lower your ISO on a S35 sensor. Internal zooms make it easier to balance on gimbals. Extremely sharp. Many 24-70ish lenses aren't sharp at all, like the Canon EF 24-70. Smaller form factor vs a 24-70 f/2.8 ff lens. I guess the only cons would be, lack of weather sealing?

@Vamp8983 жыл бұрын
Of course they do, why shouldn't they? The lense designs in the 50s and 70s would have been different, if they would have had our current technology. But they did not have that so they created worse lenses. Not because they were bad lense designers, but they didn't have giant high performance computing clusters with incredible software to develop better leneses. They did the best they could, but they would have done it better and/or differnet, if they could have done it. Lense designs constantly improve. The more CPU power und the better software we have, the better can we do calculations and experiement with lense designs, glass elements and so on. Modern lense designs have barely things in common with lense designs in the 50s and 70s. Where a 50mm lenses in the 50s and 70s hat 4-6 Glass Elements, modern 50mm lenses have 14-17 glass elements. Do you think they put so many elements into a lense just for fun, without any influence on the resulting image, not to mention lense coatings and glass materials. Glass Materials and glass development processes constantly evolve, lense caoting technology consantly evolve and the lense design as it is constantly evolves. Where glass used in the 50s and 70s were more or less all the same, plain glass, modern lenses are made from several different glass materials, different coatings and so on and it needs hours of complex calculations to find out which lenses work together in what way. Technology doesn't stop, never did and never will. Sure a lense from the 50s or 70s can still be used today. But in general they are worse in every aspect you can measure, including color, contrast, flare, chromatic aberration, bokeh (but taste plays a big role in bokeh too) and so on. The SIGMA 18-35mm F1.8 is stil amazing in 2021 becaue it is still the most current lense in this sector. When SIGMA will release an DN Version of that lense, it will be better than the 18-35mm in every aspect and at that point, the current 18-35mm is outdated. That doesn't mean its broken or something, its just no longer state of the art.

The sigma 18-35 is for noobs. Also why would anyone hire you with it when every hack and his dog has it. There’s nothing to differentiate yourself as a cinematographer. This lens is for hacks.

Cinema lenses are parfocal meaning they retain critical focus at any zoom point change. The 18-35mm is not a parfocal lens, and Sigma themselves have stated that it's not possible to make the lens due to how it's designed. The newer 60-600mm Sigma Sport lens is "Parfocal" meaning it retains perfect focus at all zooms levels. A necessity for shooting high-end video. The Sigma 150-600mm sport is NOT PARFOCAL so if you shoot video this is not the sense for you. All Cine Lenses are par focal but Cinema lenses are quite expensive for this reason. Understand that more than 90% of the photography lenses by Canon, Nikon and yes Sony are not parfocal because the cost to make it that way. Some lens come close to being parfocal but be careful because if you are not paying attention you can get burnered by that "almost" perfect focus. For critical work keep it parfocal.

Sigma probably didn't want to put in more R&D after developing it. PChood Cinematics has already rehoused it to be 100% parfocal, for less than half the price.
