SIGMA 18-35mm 1.8 ART LENS / BEHIND THE LENS

had it for Canon back when it launched in 2013, it was a superb and versatile lens, but the autofocus would miss a lot

I figured the can was rolled in the moment I saw the shot. 😊 Question. Can the f stop of the Sigma 18-35 be adjusted from f1.8 to lower stops? or is it just a constant f1.8?

Perfect lens on Canon R7. I love it.

I never use mine because my stabilized ef lens looks 95% as good and I can go full handheld with bmpc6k.

love you james. my fav creator. amazing personality

what a pointless video showing off this lens. The video is basically a ego stroking self promotion.

This lens is my main for EVERYTHING. I've used it for 5 years, and still runs like I just got it. The only downside is the weight.

James owns the special version that comes with a Sony lens cap <3

It s really hard to find it to buy it 😓

I have really been debating on getting this for my Canon R5 using the Viltrox EF to RF speedbooster.

Just purchased this lens plus the Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8, paired with my two C200’s

Saving up for a 6K pro with this one on it. I've been watching you use it and damn I'm sold!

I use it on my C300MKIII for everything. However it is too sharp and a bit lifeless.

I am going to buy the second one on my g80 ☺️

Hello James! Can you share the configuration you use in your BMPCC 6K? I am new to Blackmagic and would like to have your same setup

no one needs to make another sigma 18-35 video.... ever ....

:( your US link for the sigma (topic of this video) goes to the bmpcc 😭😂

Good review.....I recently bought canon 77d(apsc).. Im a hobbyist...Which is better sigma 18-35, sigma 17-50 or canon 17-55 or any other ..my purpose is events and weddings(mostly indoor), travel, and portraits. Image quality is key.....I have 50 mil 1.8

Just getting into cinematography and film school I had to pick an ultra budget rig and setup that has taken me almost two years to put together. I decided on going with a BMPCC4k to help teach me to work a camera as manually as possible and my first lens was a Meike 35mm prime which I absolutely love and with the crop factor makes it amazing for close ups but not limited to just that, then picked up a Moza Air 2 with follow focus, and then added the Metbones Cine .71 and Sigma 18-35 with some Tiffen filters and variable ND. Like mentioned the Sigma gives an extremely clean image which is not necessarily a bad thing as you can manipulate the lens with filters and post production etc. Of course I would like more lenses in my bag but I am starting production on a full length film in April with this setup and a DJI Air 2s drone and really don't feel too limited on what I can achieve with this setup.

Been shooting with mine of cars on a Canon 750D for the past 3 years. The sharpness is next level, even on a crop sensor.

Out of topic, but James u have to listen to this! Cosmic Gate & Diana Miro - Nothing to Hide

own this lens for few years,

out of the box, not calibrated, the back focusing is quite severe.

other than that, it is a sharp lens

Picked this lens up during the summer to shoot on my GH5 with metabones speed booster, and it's fantastic. Just got the 50-100 yesterday, so I'm looking forward to testing that big thick boy out during 2022. Amazing how relevant the GH5 still is when combined with Sigma glass.

Shoutout to the Sony Lens 👀💯💯

I have the 18-35 and the sigma 70-200mm. Perfect combination of lenses for my work. Not sure if the 50-100 is worth the investment?

I got this lens and i really dont like it. It's not my focal lenght

Great lens, but on a Pentax it can't autofocus at all, so useless I switched to Sony.

I wish they would re-release that lens for e mount.

"Here's a bunch of shots with this lens and why I use it" sounds like great content.

film grain to remove banding.... genius! I love my 18-35mm too!

I picked one up in a package deal but have been sitting on it for a while just sitting in a box. None of my current bodies support S35 mode in 4K (FX6 and A7SIII). Looking forward though to adapting on A7IV

I have bought 5 years back , using with sony apsc bodies ,,...sigma has produced a legend

We neee this lens for our Sony cameras!

I'm just looking at my copy mounted on A6600 via MC-11. But I bought it for my BMPCC6k :).

I got this lens and I use it on my GH5.
It's a beautiful lens.

So good. Nice to watch a practical presentation on this lens rather than technical. Had this lens about the same time as you and use it paired with a Canon 90D for landscape still. One of the things I like about it aside from its wide aperture, is the f stop carries across the whole range of the zoom

I feel like there must be a reason sigma can’t reproduce this lens. Otherwise I can’t understand why they haven’t updated it. Would be a major seller if they did for mirrorless

used this lens for wedding photography, really enjoyed used it

Do we need an ND filter to use it during the day ? Thank you

hello, do you only use this lens with BMPCC6K?

It's a hell of a lens mate! I do own it for 6 years now, literally it's glued on one of my pocket's! A rain, snow, fire, dust, sea sand, ocean, you name it, it just do the job no matter what the weather conditions are, It's build like a tank!

I recently picked up a used 18-35. Whoa what a noisy lens. I’ve seen many videos about the autofocusing noise however my lens even makes loud noise while changing aperture. You hear an feel the iris blades snap from 1 position to another. Haven’t seen anything on this and I’m just wondering if normal?

A full frame version 24-50mm 1.8 would be nice

Had this lens for 4 years. it's still a must have in your kit. Probably the best bang for your buck since the nifty fifty

🙌 Love this lens too. On Fuji XT4. Looking forward to the next one ☝️

I actually noticed the grain at the beginning and how good it looked!! What a great tip, will have to make use of that one

Where can we watch the movie mate?

Love your film grading bro...you have any tutorials or LUTs for it?

Heckuva video man. Dropped my first 18-35 off a 40ft tower the other day. Still technically works but the focus was bad stuff. Got my replacement in yesterday and I saw this video and had to drop in. The banding trick with the grain was the fact of the video tho! No more banding on my backgrounds in '22! 🤙

Beard lookin' peng mate
