can i request a present from you? your photos look great 😊❤

Hmmm. The look is almost a 1.4.

UNFORTUNATELY, the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 DC DN lens that I purchased on 12/8/22 for my Fuji X-T5 camera developed a problem on 7/29/24 that means I can't depend upon it. Up until that time I was pleased with it for both photos & video. BUT after I had taken about 190 photon on the 29th, the aperture froze at F20 & nothing I could do resolved this. I was about 2hrs driving distance from home. Another zoom lens worked just fine on my camera when I got back home. Mysteriously, the Sigma lens now seemed to work again. BUT when I researched online, I found several other situations where Sigma lenses had similar problems. THEREFORE, I have no choice but to stop using this Sigma lens & get the Fuji XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR Lens, since I can't run the risk of having the Sigma lens fail again when I'm away from home.

Bfull♥️

I actually got it much cheaper than the Sony lens and I like the lens. The only two drawback I find with this lens is ofcourse the AF MF switch and it gives a lot of lens flare when exposed to direct light or even shooting against artificial lights and the flares are not as beautiful and can sometimes do some ridiculous ghosting on the image or video

Way late to your party but I’m shopping for this lens Thanks for this review! Is it weather sealed? Would it hold up in a drizzle?

Do you find this lense a bit annoying to be trying to manually focus every time ..? Im trying to see if its good for real estate photography or videography, ?

I had this lens for about a month or so. The images this lens can produce are absolutely superb, better than the Sony FE 50mm f1.8 I daresay. The build quality is also great considering the lens is made out of aluminum instead of composite plastic. Autofocus also very snappy and rarely miss. However, the downsides made me sold this lens. Like you pointed out the AF-MF switch is VERY easy to toggle by accident, my first copy actually arrived with it broken and I had to send it back. The sheer size and weight of this thing is ridiculous considering that this lens isn't f1.4. I really wish they make a MKII of this lens in the future with a better AF-MF switch and either a smaller size or make it f1.4. Then the Sony FE 50mm f1.8 will truly be obsolete.

T-stops are basically more accurate than f-stops. The f-stop system looks at the mechanical parts and how much light they let through, whilst the t-stop system also takes the loss of light, due to the light passing through the glass elements in the lens, into account. I've heard this lens would equal around f 1.8. The reason the t-stop system is used is because, as I said, it is more accurate. It also allows for the exposure of the image to remain the same at the same t-stop, even with a different lens, which isn't the case when counting in f-stops because f-stops aren't an accurate representation of the amount of light passing through the lens onto the sensor. The same f-stop on different lenses might result in a slight difference in exposure, whilst the same t-stop on different lenses will result in an equal amount of light reaching the sensor, thus giving you the exact same exposure. Hope this clarified some things for you :)

👌👌👌👌🙏😍.. Thanks for review

Awesome video and I like this lens! A few suggestions though my good guy no bashing here just follow me... I shoot handheld with full manual LOOOOOONG pull lenses. It's not difficult... Set your shot up and get your focus where you want it before you shoot so you know your in and out points. All lenses also have different color shifts no matter if it's $350 or $35,000. It's not the price that causes this so exclude that because those awesome vintage lenses from back in the day that we can get for $60, those have orange beautiful casts in them. But this is why we use profiles or we shift the color in camera based on the cast in video and create our own custom LUTS from scratch to pull that out so we don't have to keep manually adjusting. I've been debating this lens after getting the 14mm. It's a sexy big ol small lens and they did it again on awesome affordability! Love your videos man. BE YOU, DO YOU! Keep this ish up!

Thank you

I have bought and tried it, the results are really good.

Thank you !

Why do you have an a7r with high megapixel and huge video files instead of an a7s camera? What are the benefits for video?

a7r5 is definitely very noisy compared to some other sony cams: which makes me very happy I have those other sony cams hehehe.

Niceee 🙌🏼

Great location and photos man! Where was this?

So cool !!!🔥

That lens quality is superb!

This lens is dope bro !

Xpro 3

Does this work well with low light or concert type venues? Ty im.about to order

I picked up the 25mm T1.05 for my A7IV the vignette was bad unless i punched in crop mode ( yes i know its an Apsc lens ) i am going to pick up the 35mm T2.0 instead.. Great quality, smooth focus, and the lens hood feel is sooo satisfying 😂

Great video man! keep doing it ! I love it!

Lovely footage! What did you shoot this on mate?

Why don't you use Leica M6 that much? cause the M6 the only Real Rangefinder for Street Photography smoke !!

🙌🏼🙌🏼

What did you shoot this video on bro?

Great video! Can the 120mm film case store 35 as well as 120?

Really lovely photos.

love it!!!!

6:52 Actually F stops are not the same as T stop, the difference is T stop is a precise value for the light to enter in you sensor. For example, you're not gonna have the same exposure between two different lenses, both at f/2.8 But with cinema lenses, the great thing is you take a 35mm, and put it at T/2, and you wanna swap to a 50mm but you don't want to change your exposure, well you can set it as well a T/2, it's gonna be the same amount of light that gonna pass trough

Awesome video my man, you definitely convinced me to buy this lens. Great video!!

It is difficult to manual focus if the subject people keep moving ?

The color are straight from the camera or are from post-processing..?? Thanks...

Hi this is really good. what camera is it attached to for 2:38-2:54?

Can I use this Lense with Sony ZV-E10?

those "markings" are the t-stop, the top is the focus distance, also it should not go beyond the infinity logo

I really appreciate what you do, keep on doing the good job and your channel will grow larger and sponsor will run to you. I was looking for an affordable cinematic lens and I will get this one. Thank you
