    This is my first none-kit lense. I wanted to do macro and heard it was one of the best options out there, So I figured "what the heck, if I go all out on any 1 kind of lense, it'll be macro". I really love the feel of this lense! I love the focus ring! I use this all the time in macrophotography since I'm constantly switching to manual focus. I've discovered the range limiter makes autofocus worrk quicker too in various situations. Then I tried this for everyday photography.... Oh my! This thing is sharp for portraits, landscapes and everything. I am really happy I invested in this lense. I have to give you a shoutout for showing both none corrected and corrected versions of your samples, thank you! Most people only show edited pics or videos and I'm left wondering how much of their examples were photoshop work or the lense.

    I don't know if they changed the glass now but I recently bought the 1/4 and it's amazing 🤩 no loss of detail, softens things up nicely for a dream state, and the bloom is not overwhelming 90% of the time (shooting subjects with light directly behind them is a no go for me, too much bloom) I'm curious now about the tiffen black mist! Thanks!

    I might go for K&F Black Diffusion 1/8 since (apparently) it's one of the more subtle filter around (subtler than tiffen) while being cheap, keeping some contrast but still give halation on light sources. From what I've seen in these comparisons, the 1/4 and above seems too strong and lowers image quality too much like what you had.

    I have this tripod. For some reason there's a little "play" in the ball head going left to right... even when that little knob at the bottom of the head (by the bubble) that controls the tension of left to right movement is all the way locked down. There's like 1/4" worth of wiggle and I'm not sure why. :/

    • @SamuelJamesVideos

      I would inspect it closely and see if there's a way you can tighten it and if not return it for a refund. That's unacceptable for a tripod

    Where do you stand on using a second dry swab to go over the sensor to dry any liquid that remains (i.e. - you used just a little too much fluid on the first swab)?

    • @SamuelJamesVideos
      @SamuelJamesVideos 2 місяці тому

      A fresh swab isn't going to hurt anything IMO. It's still just a piece of glass, it's just a piece of glass you really don't want to scratch. Treat it as such and make sure there's no left over liquid

    This is a great lens to begin with and also a great lens in general. I have the whole Sigma kit lens pack and honestly out of all of them the 16 mm 30 mm and 56 mm. I use the 30 mm the most. It’s sharp and if I need a little bit more close up shots I can always zoom in post edit without a significant amount of quality loss.

    I recieved the PD V2 30l as a gift and honestly... I have no idea what to do with it. I tried to set the inner space somehow to be useful...i tried tons of combinations. But I ended up in an autistic rage. :D :D :D I have one zoom (f 2.8 16-55mm) and other four lenses with fixed focal lengths. All for Fuji x-t5 so all the gear is quite small. Saaad. I am just sad. :D 🤣

      Do NOT feel bad I did the exact same thing with every camera bag I've ever bought. I end up spending 4 hours just moving and organizing for no reason to see what I like best. That is completely normal in my opinion. If it helps, I ended up going to the website and just setting it up like they have setup on there with a few very small tweaks. If you pause my video above at 7:36 that's exactly how I leave mine and then if I change anything I just move the smaller flap around accordingly. The two larger straps are always going to end up in the same orientation IMO because there's not really much else to do with them. I hope this helps
