CORRECTION: ART lenses are indeed not focus by wire at all. They are using an HSM which is a MECHANICAL system. This would make sense why I don’t lose my mind when manually focusing these lenses 😂

I am hugely disappointed by the lack of auto-focusing test in your video. That has completely ruined my Tuesday. Thanks a lot! . JUST KIDDING!!! Love this review. The "bee-roll" ;) looks amazing. The biggest advantage (or a problem to some people) is the size and weight of the Sigma's. How can you beat the quality and the wide aperture of this zoom combined with it's price. I'm sold!

Would you still recommend this lens for wedding video or would you suggest something else? I work with Fuji cameras and I have a couple of sigma lens (18-35, 30mm) but I often need it something like this. I can get 50-100mm relatively cheap for about $500 but I don't know if he will do the job. I see that some recommend 70-200, but I'm afraid that it will be too big to work with. By the way, great video.

I have an Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II, which does have phase-detect autofocus. I also have the Sigma 18-35 f1.8 (Canon version) with the Viltrox EF-M2 speedbooster. I wouldn't say that the autofocus is the same as it would be with native glass, but it's surprisingly good. I think the OM-D E-M1 / Mark II / Mark III / X and the OM-D E-M5 Mark III are perfect companions for this lens, better than Panasonic or Blackmagic.

I like this lens but having image stabilization is important for event shooting. You never know when you may need to grab a hand held shot. of course ibis will do this for you but not all cameras have that option. I wish sigma would release a new version of the 17-50mm 2.8. but I feeling most new development will go to mirrorless like the RF mount.
@Ansonandco
4 жыл бұрын
That is one I don’t think I ever used. I’ve had some friends that have used it but I have not personally used the 17-50. As far as stabilization... speaking from someone that basically bought a shoulder rig because of this lens at a wedding, I can completely understand where you are coming from. I was able to get some steady footage with the pocket 4k and this lens, but it’s definitely not easy. Unless you grab a shoulder rig.
@professionalpotato4764

Good point. That's the only thing I wish Sigma had in more of their lenses. Not to mention IBIS efficiency falls off at telephoto ranges so OIS becomes a far more important feature. If Sigma could just update these 2 lenses with an inbuilt speedbooster and silent autofocusing motors (just for the E-mount) for mirrorless with a native mount that would be awesome.

Thanks for the feedback. I think the audio may be due to a latency without it was edited and the actual video speed. As far as native MFT it is not.

@@Ansonandco If you replace the word 'for' in the title with 'on' it becomes perfectly acceptable, the title as it stands implies that the lens is for (built for, designed for, manufactured for, compatible with) those cameras. On the flip side, that's oddly specific - if it was that you'd likely write MFT/M43. But... :-p I can absolutely see why you like them, the power of f1.8 with the flexibility to frame your subjects without moving and choose your background compression. Winner for sure. Notably, the AF performance is mostly only bad for video - DFD is pretty good for photos, fast and accurate - so AF is still a desirable thing to have in a lens, for me. My only Sigma so far is the 16mm 1.4, but that's likely to change in future, even if only by adding the other two primes :-)
