Thanks so much Michael!

Also two of my favs right now! Glad to hear you are enjoying them!

What led you to choose these focal lengths? I know they aren’t your typical 24mm, 35mm, 50mm etc. that most people would grab. I love that they are off the norm. Was it because of their focal length after the crop factor? Great stuff!

I think part of me wanted a 50mm but always thought it felt a bit too tight and i already have a few 35mm lenses...but for the 40mm after hearing just how stunning it's performance is from trusted members from dpreview website i had to try it myself. Was very impressed by its wide open performance at infinity. I saw some great reviews of it as well. The 105 1.4 i wanted a 135 and 85 but couldn't make up my mind which so a 105 was a great in between focal length 😁 I also saw an awesome review by dustin abbot on youtube that convinced me to try it out in a local store which really made me smile with what a crazy bokeh it was producing. And not to forget it's amazing sharpness wide open! I think I've always been a type of photographer that doesn't follow what the typical norm is with shooting portraits at 85mm. It's boring. I love artistic bokeh and portraits that give a different mood. I actually really like a b/w self portrait i had my wife take of me with the 40mm!

Sev that’s so awesome. Yeah you can tell it’s not quite a 50, but it feels great. I think I run into that issue all the time where it’s trying to find the right length, and you just settle in between them. I love it. And these were the cine versions of the lenses rather than the photo lenses?

@@weddingvidpro2389 I've always struggled with wanting a fast, wide prime... for me, 28mm gets me wide enough form most instances where I would need it but it is not so wide that it distorts my subject too much. 40mm (my favourite) is a beautiful environmental portrait lens. I find that although the 35 includes lots of my subjects environment, it distorts my subject too much when I get close to do something like a head and shoulders portrait. As much as I love the 50, at times it's just too tight for my liking... such as when I'd like to include the environment. The 40 is a perfect mix... I can go tight for a head shot with acceptable distortion (for me) and I can back up and get just enough of the environment to tell a story. The 105 is just beautiful for getting that classic feel of extreme shallow depth of field in a close up portrait. I love the 105 for simply concentrating on the eyes and having the option to blur everything else in the frame. Hope this helps!

Appreciate the comment Peter!

Some say, to this day he is still waiting... I have bought the 40mm f1.4 today and am very looking forward how it performs on my D850. I have to say, 28 / 40 / 105mm are indeed a very nice trio of lenses for full-frame. A 14mm f1.4 would make it an awesome group of lenses.

Thank you!

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it! That's great that you read the books, Frank's a very inspiring man!

Glad you enjoyed this Liz!

Hey Wayne! Would love to know why you choose these “off” focal lengths for your photography, meaning most people will choose either the 24 or the 35 rather than a 28 or the 50 instead of a 40mm. I’m looking to purchase some glass and intrigued by the 28/40 combo for video. Do you think there is a large enough focal distance between the 28 and 40mm? Thanks!

Hey raksh9, thanks for the comments. Most of the film was shot on the SIGMA 18-35mm T2, 35mm T1.5 and 50mm T1.5. You can see a few behind the scenes images at: www.sigmaartisans.com/legacy

it's such a great lens, you'll love it!

I don't know about motion picture film, but cinematographer/director Mark Toia often uses the Sigma cine lenses on his RED cameras.
