T stops (T for transmittance) is the light that actually hits the sensor; it can only be measured in a lab using some pretty expensive equipment. F stops are a theoretical value derived from your lens' focal length divided by the diameter of your aperture. Put very simply, the T-stop is the corrected, real-world value of the F-stop. For instance, an f/1.8 will often be more like a T/2.0.

@FaridRudiansyah Ай бұрын

So that's why we should drop one stop so the image will be crisp sharp, i.e Lens F1.4 optimally in F1.8

Bought it to photograph bears and iceboats and have found all kinds of other uses. It’s a little bulky but nothing like the heft of an equivalent full-frame lens (105-525mm) in weight or price.

@@thefilmalliance Before I bought the Tamron 150-500mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD, I bought the Tamron 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD. Nice lens, almost as small and light as the 17-70. But after my new lineup it will go on sale. Still, it's an affordable and lightweight zoom option with great wildlife focus due to great autofocus, good image stabilization and excellent image sharpness at 300mm (center frame). But when it comes to corner sharpness at 18mm, the lens falls far short of the 17-70 and any other prime option. Another lens for sale is the Sigma 16mm F1.4. The chromatic aberrations are much worse than with the cheapest Viltrox, the 13mm F1.4.

I got the 18-135 Sony as the kit lens on my A6400 a few years back, and for all my griping about the narrow aperture, I still find myself throwing it on anytime during daylight that changing lenses is going to be inconvenient. It's just so all-around versatile and it takes great shots. Of course, my first purchase after that was the Sigma f/1.4 trinity, because what doesn't look cool under the Milky Way? That new Viltrox 75 f/1.2 sure does look tasty though, although the Sigma 56 is an amazing portrait lens too.

I believe that T and F when referring to aperture are different measurements of light, F is based off of the diameter of the aperture (it doesnt account for the lost of light through the lens elements) where as T is based off of how much light will reach the sensor so it will provide a more accurate number since it takes into account how much light fall off there will be as it travels through to the lens. I am fairly new to this concept so I might not have explained it 100% accurately but I think thats the idea behind it

I'd give props to the Sigma 18-35/1.8. The wider max aperture is much more useful than the 15mm it gives up on the telephoto end of the 18-50/2.8 when shooting video cos when shooting video with these lenses, most of the zooming is done with the feet anyway but it's much more difficult to account for depth of field and light gathering. I'd also like to give props to the Sigma 16/1.4, an excellent wide angle prime perfect for the vlog style shooting you do. While it doesn't have OS, wide angle lenses tend to be more forgiving, if handled correctly. Both of these lenses are quite heavy though, so using them with a gimbal will require a lot of careful balancing and, given how front heavy they will be, it helps to get a gimbal with stronger motors. But if you're mounting them on glidecams or using them handheld, you should do just fine.

as far as I know, T and f are not different when it comes to the result but rather the way they are measured. f stops measure how far the lens opens to let in light while the T (transmission) depends on how much light actually gets in. An f/1.4 would be pretty much the same as a T/1.4 but it is a bit more accurate.

So I guess I talk now about my own lenses…..…(I using the a6000) I fall in love with the 17-70 Tamron f2.8 coz I need a stabilisation in the lense. After purchased the Sony 70-350, i wasn’t happy at all. The variable aperture and the AF problems makes me to switch (Tamron s AF was better than Sonys). So I purchasing the Tamron 70-180 f2.8 . I’m really happy with that lense. So my next lenses would be the samyang 12mm (rockinon) and after the the 27mm viltrox. Coz you asked what’s the t-stop in cineplenses are; t = transmission of light through the lense, a = is only the opening of the lens (that s an mathematical equation with the focal length of the lense). So if you look at the t stop you see how much light delivered through the lense to your sensor. Sorry for my bad English :(

Hi Pascal, I understand what you’re saying and thank you for that thoughtful comment. I agree with you that Tamron lenses are sometimes even faster in auto focus than Sony. I wish I got my hands on the Tamron, 17 to 70.

@JeffCorcelius 4 ай бұрын

I have the 18-135 and its just not fast enough for video IMO. I got the Tamron 17-70 and it been my go-to, I leave it on my FX30. I'm looking for something faster right now. I used to keep my Viltrox 23mm f1.4 on my a6400 for photography. It was a great all around prime. But it has since broke, the auto focus stopped working and it's out of support from Viltrox. I've been thinking of the Sniper or Nightwalkers from Sirui only for the 3 lense versatility they bring. I can't decide if I want something with more reach or just faster aperture.

Great comment and you are well versed with lenses. I want to try that Tamron 17-70. I hear A LOT of good things with it. I heard those sniper lenses aren’t the fastest when it comes to autofocus. I’ve got to try it out

@chasenicholson237 Ай бұрын

Phenomenal video but I’d say the Tamron 17-70 2.8 used is worth looking at over the sigma 18-50 2.8 ESPECIALLY if you have a camera body with no in body image stabilization because of the tamrons vibration control. More range as well.

@dasnack 3 ай бұрын

The minimum focus distance on the Sony 18-135 doesn't change along the zoom range, which gives it a 0,29 max reproduction ratio. Yes, it's far from macro, but it's the best one from all the lenses in the video, so it's weird that the "it's not macro" argument came precisely with that lens.

Most of your handheld footage is super shaky. Have you tried turning all the stabilization off and then use Gyroflow in post? I've been goofing around with it for the past few months and am seriously impressed with it - super easy to use as well with a native plugin for resolve. Oh, and the best all around lens out of all of these is definitely the Sigma 18-50. That lens rarely leaves my FX30.

I just want to mention tha the sigma 18-50mm f2.8 is not weather sealed but it has a rubber gasket around the mount piece, so, technically the camera is protected from dust and moisture, but not the lens in it's entirety. This is important because sony 16-55mm f2.8 is weather sealed all around the barrel and the mount piece, but it is still overpriced.
