Okay but why does she have perfect freckle placement 😫

Nice to see more content on the Sigma zooms, especially the 50-100mm. I think that lens doesn’t have enough coverage and is worth looking at

Best review on practice with this lens ( 18 - 35 ) just what I needed. Thank you Julia !!!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The 50-100 compression. Is 🕶🕶

7D mark ii such an underrated camera

Elegant and patient model. Great location too. I have the Sigma 18-35mm and after making autofocus adjustments, the lens is razor sharp but also has the best color saturation between all my other Nikkor lenses. I was using the Nikkor 17-55mm for every day and scenic shots. It does amazing work, but now I have to wonder if the 18-35mm wouldn't do better. I mainly got this lens to shoot video as the glass in it is not unlike a cinema lens.

The 18-35 is a lovely lens. Thanks for the video showing both lenses.

The Sony 24-70 2.8 is awesome. Your video looks great. I just wish I could afford one!

I am in love with 18 -35 ...i will save some pocket money and buy this ...between such a wonderful video ...thanks a tonne for making it and you really have a very nice voice ....cya

I've had both lenses for my 70D for the past couple years. They're amazing. Warning: The 50-100 is an absolute beast of a lens in terms of it's weight. I'm sure the 18-35 is like 800 grams which many people consider heavy'ish but since I use the 50-100 about 80% of the time going back to the 18-35 feels like i'm carrying a feather. The heavy weight of the 50-100 doesn't bother me but some people might struggle with it for long shoots. I do find that my focussing can be off a little bit but I'm not experienced enough to know if that's my error, the camera or the lens. Perhaps with modern cameras that have eye af it won't be a problem. The only two lenses you need on aps-c.

I have the R7 and just got the 18-35mm. I'm seriously considering the 50-100 or the 85mm 1.4 macro.

Tree stumpy thing.. he he.. nice work Julia and model is stunning.👍

I think a neat faceoff would be these versus 24-70 & 70-200. Would love to see that!

Just purchased the 18-35 today! Cant wait for it to come in!

I love my 18-35mm sig it is a beast.

Those unedited photos look so good

Just a few suggestions. Use the lens shade; it'll help combat your image getting washed in situations where there's bright specular light just out of frame. Also while holding an SLR, you can be much steadier by turning your non-grip hand 180 degrees (so your thumb is pointing away from the center of your body), hand horizontal like you're holding a tiny serving tray, body of the camera resting in your palm, fingers around the barrel and elbow braced against your torso. It might feel weird at first, but it's considerably more stable; look at how pros hold their camera. It also puts your fingers in a position to manually focus while holding the camera steady.

I’m constantly watching this video. You know how to inspire:)

Insane. I really do like that you did this review. I've always wondered about these lenses in a real world portrait session situation.

Her beauty is mesmerizing OMG

I was thinking about upgrading to full frame, but those lenses changed my mind.

Thank you for detail information to each shot!!!

Beautiful photos! Location, model and the actual shots. I’m seriously thinking of getting t sigma 18-35 for my canon 80d. In some groups people had said portrait is where the lens doesn’t do well but safe to say you proved them wrong.

I used the same kit like Julia did for quite awhile and I did tried before with the 80d, I totally recommend this two lens to be a match. Autofocus never failed me throughout many events and weddings. But if your canon has dpaf, definitely maximise these two lens and your camera by shooting via liveview. CA is a problem but you can remove them in lightroom. Shot video with them and my only complain is either sigma didn’t put ILIS or Canon doesn’t have IBIS. Now using them as my second camera and still recommend ppl that don’t mind apsc to get this as a matching gear

Interesting choices, the sigma is probably the best zoom lens for aps-c cameras in my opinion. Ty Julia! btw: 7:01 thats alot of chromatic aberration :O

Best review on those lens beasts!!

I’ve never clicked on a video so fast! The 18-35 f1.8 is by far my favourite cropped sensor lens. I gave my Canon 16-35 f2.8 II away as I kept comparing it to the Sigma. I tend to take two cameras with me for landscapes so I can use this lens with my filters. I do think time spent on the Sigma Hub is time well invested with their Art and Sports lenses. A great video, thank you.

Just bought the presets!!! Thank you for your videos and your voice makes it extra pleasant to watch :)

Sigma lens are also really good for fitness🤣🤣🤣

just bought my new camera, photography was just my hobby but now im getting clients for photoshoot and im not even that good, but because of Julia i'm trying my best, thank you for being an inspiration.

The best 50-100 sharp fucos images and best blur background..

Julia love your videos and you !! Don’t never stop to make videos . I learn so much from you ! ❤️

omg i have the 18-35mm and love it

She has such a beautiful smile, her whole face lights up, but soon as you lift the camera to shoot the contemplative melancholy look comes back 😃 Nice review, but honestly you can make any lens/camera look good

Thanks for showing off these lens ... Im really loving the 18-35

I liked it before I watched it. 😄 I tried it in a camera store in SG and it did have some focusing issues on my 80D. 😢

Such a pretty photoshoot 😍

The 18-35 1.8 is a perfect lens for low light indoor events. Bars, pubs, birthday parties, etc. Lively scenes, where you often need a speedlight. You can really keep the speedlights power down and your photos will look very natural but still crisp. Also street photography at night. I call mine The Owl (Sounds more beatiful in my language though). :-) I belive there are more suitable lenses fot shooting in bright daylight when there are lots of contrast and chromatic aberration is easy to appear.

Came here for lens, left here in love with Mahalia!

thr 18-35 1.8 was my favorite lens before I upgraded to a full frame body. I miss it so much!

that why i prefer manual focus regime ;) so my sort answer is only manual regime for all cameras and lens, only with exertion if you have A9, and may be A6300 or A7 III if you are agree with only 10 frames per second.

I have the 18-35 mm one and I'm loving it! Yes it misses focus a lot, like 40-50% of the time when using the viewfinder, especially when you're not focusing it on the center. But you can fix it by using the live view! I have never had an issue with focusing when using the live view. I really want to get a hand on the 50-100 mm like it's the 80-160 mm f2.8 equivalent on the full frame! How good is that?

I've only started following you very recently and it's amazing how you explain everything! Love your work ♥️

I always always click like before watching 🤗 Very pretty model

JULIAAAAAAAAAAA I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I'm actually thinking of getting both of these lenses. The image looked great and to be honest, I thought the sigma zoom looked sharper than the 50mm you compared but maybe it's just me.

These sigmas are amazing.

to me when comparing the Sigma F1.8 and the Canon 50mm F1.2 with the two photos of the girls the Sigma is sharper !

Loved the video Julia! Love these BTS

Pleaseeeeeee shoot on the canon 80d!!

I open your videos and click like asap. I'm SO SO SO happy to see you use this lens (18-35). It is one of my fav crop zoom lenses and maybe the best lens I have, even adapted to my Sony a6500. I bought it originally for my Canon crop, which i've sold, but it is so good I've adapted it for my Sony. It is heavy, but does amazing work! Not a fan of the 50-100...too much CA and it looked like it missed focus A LOT!

I have both of those Sigma lenses ...absolutely LOVE em! Not sure which one is my fave (also have the 100-400 for wildlife)

For best results on sigma 18-35 f.8 remove the uv filter u had on the lens and attach the lens hood it came with.....then it will perform its best in such high contrast scenarios....

Awesome video Julia! Great videos always 🙌🏻

These are so beautiful! Good job Julia

Great futage keep up the good work 👍😀

Thank you! You are helping me a lot in getting into photography!!!

Awesome Julia!!!

Lovely model.

Sigma has nice glasses, but AF accurate is the biggest problem:/

I've learned so much from watching your videos I just have one question you might have covered this but do you use manual or auto focus primarily for portraits?

You should try the sigma18-35mm on a full frame body at 35mm at around f2, you will be shocked! It will probably make you want to sell your full frame 35 prime.

The friendliest hey everyone in history of hey everyone! I love it xD

Hi, I'm used Sigma 50-100 f1.8 with Canon 1d Mark IV. I'm very surprise picture from its. Thanks for your video, it's best review.

Thank you for sharing.... 👍👍👍

Just looking for a new lens for Canon .. And now i found it . Sigma 18-35mm is a lovely one .. ❤️️

Dan's a pro. Video looks fantastic as always. I did realize I like a wider angle when watching you work. It gives a better perspective on your surroundings throughout the shoot. No complaints though! Was super cool to see you testing lenses and sensor with which I have personal experience. These lenses are spectacular. I did tons of research before I bought them. And I found a KZfaq vid that had the proper settings for my 18-35 via Sigma dock. The 50-100 was fortunately already sharp as hell. Downside as you know is the 50-100 is a straight up brick. I got a fancy ifootage monopod to use with it and I still wasn't encouraged to actually use the thing. So then I bought the Sigma 50mm to keep me company until I have the patience to try it out again. I know I'll love it once I get use to the heft. Thank-you for delving into aps-c for us. I was considering f1.2- f1.4 primes before, but I think you may have changed my mind and made me realize what I have now is good enough :)

Good Julia

If you want to nail the focus you have to play around with your camera's focus system to find out what will work fine in sigma 50-100, in my nikon if I want AF-S mode I have to increase the aperture value to 2.8f and if I want to use 1.8f I will change my focusing mode to AF-C Dynamic Area D25.

The images look very good. My first dslr was eos 400D, then I got 7D and last year the 7Dii. The 7Dii is a great camera and mated to the sigma Art lenses or canon L the results are fantastic. It is an underrated camera. Though it is the one of most popular cameras with amateurs. IMO canon need to release a firmware update to keep it current. But they will not so you have to buy a new body like the over priced eos R or RP !

I wished there were more sample shots at the 80-100mm end

YASSSS!!!! this is what im looking for!!

The 18-35 Sig must be calibrated to your camera for optimal AF through the view finder. This can be done with their dock for $50. Its takes a few hours to do but its pretty simple. Or you can send the camera and the lens to sigma for calibration.

You should try at focal 100mm on full body :(

These are amazing!

Thank you Julia for guiding me to this video of your shoot with the 18-35mm, f1.8 lens. I was mistakingly under the impression that the 18-35mm lens, (even on a crop sensor camera) would cause too much distortion. I am so glad you set me straight on that misconception! Am I correct to assume that you would use this lens for portraiture at the 23 "ish" to 35mm range? I loved the shots you took of your model and the detail shown! I guess I won't need an 85mm lens for awhile! Thanks again!

Great shoot! I would looove to see you shoot with the bokeh monster sigma 105mm 😀

The 50-100 1.8 is currently my favorite lens BUT the back focusing issue makes me hesitant to use it sometimes

Awesome review and liking how you're reviewing more affordable crop size camera. I have the 7d mark2 and shooting live view is actually pretty good in nailing focus with the face detection.

Thanks for the review. I shoot the Canon 80D with a Sigma 18-35 1.8 and the Sigma 70-200 2.8 Sport. Am thinking of eventually adding the 50-100 1.8 to my arsenal to fill the gap. The 18-35 is an amazing lens that is perfect for a photographer like me that shoots various subjects such as landscape, portraits and astrophotography. Well worth the cost when you factor in all the uses you get from it.

This video is giving me an incredibly hard time about which lens to buy for my 90D first. I can only afford one lens at the moment, not both (and I want both, each for a specific purpose!) Edit: Got the 18-35. As a guy who had no clue he loves photography more than videography, I have my own regrets

I'm saving up for the 18-35mm f/1.8. The 50-100mm f1.8 is worth my entire life, so that's out of the question.

Julia Can you please redo this video with Canon R7 and these two Sigma lenses?

Great video ! Thanks

I came here for the model; she's beautiful

18-35 its the next lens i am going to buy, thanx for the Review Julia. Grattings from México

Really looking at getting this sigma 18-35 for my gh5 using an adapter, only draw back is heavy to travel almost a KG

It might be only me, but as you mentioned the make-up more so in this video than usual, I was wondering if you would consider making a video on the type of makeup looks you prefer to shoot these natural portraits with? Maybe asking Lidija to share some general tips with us? 😊

I’m renting this lens for upcoming Mother’s Day family portraits outdoor & at the studio as well as senior photos, do we think this will preform well? I’m a beginner of 2 years!😊

Cuteness overloaded 😍

I hear a lot about CA, but it really doesn't bother me. Great video! I'm inspired to get out and shoot again.

such beautiful images.... i found sigma lenses are bad for CA & back focusing.. but good optics..

Omg julia I begg of you to pick up an a6400 pleeeeease and do a shoot pllllease with cherry on top 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

nice!! 😍😍

Plz try the 24mm 1.4 gm lens in a portrait photoshoot

Great video 📹, thanks,

Please do a review of these 2 lenses on Sony crop sensor A6500 🙏🏻

Nice video and nice photo i like sigma lenses but ihave't it yet what abut 50-100 mm f1,8 for nikon D7200 🙏

Like with many Sigma lenses, the focus reliability issues put me off, to be honest. That said: Great, informative, and well produced video. Thanks.

I can’t make up my mind between the 50-100mm or the 70-200mm f2.8 canon Which the 70-200mm may be the best and most quality lens that distance on a crop camera may be alil to much for portrait This is where the 50-100mm comes in to give me that telephoto compression But I can’t put up with the purple fridgin
