@@IbrahimLucas so full frame is better i suppose everybody going in that direction well can ypu tell me why you're switching to full frame i see people with them and i saw the canon 5d mark 4 and i like what i see but that shit is expensive man lol but help me out.... Couldn't i just buy both of them one full frame and one crop sensor just to be safe or have the best of both worlds
great review, I would like it if you explained that the sample being shown with be showing the original shot with the retouch version because it just was confusing when watching. Thanks
So the focus problem at 3:30. Did you callibrate the lens with the usb dock? This lens needs finetuning for sure. Looks that your lens is back focussing. My copy is callibrated on all the focus distances and focal lengths because I had the same problems.
Hi Audiman, thanks for watching! The lens was a rental and I don't have the dock. Which camera do you shoot with? I used the Canon M50, which is a mirrorless camera. If I'm not mistaken mirrorless cameras should not have problems with back or front focus.
@@IbrahimLucas Use Dslr so back or front focus is indeed a concern because of the phase detection. Mirrorless uses AF contrast detection so indeed no issue.
What a nice video and good explain off the lens,.. btw you are drom carribbean (curacao) i can here youre accent 😂 im a beginner i just buy a cam, canon 550D + 18-35 lens
Hi Bahaa, thank you for watching! I made another review of this same lens, but for video. I tackle this topic too. Check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/zwEhJyK1xtI/v-deo.html
I want a camera lens that's sharp and take beautiful shots I'm 11 years old and I want to start taking pictures now so by the time I get in high school I will be a professional lol I want a full frame camera as well something that's good with low light is what I need
I like your enthusiasm! My advice is to start with a second hand or budget camera with a kit lens and practice a lot. Work on fundamentals like: lighting, composition etc. If you master those you can take sharp and beautiful picture with pretty much any camera. Good luck!
@@IbrahimLucas you're right my nikon d3300 with the kit lens are solid but i want to try this lens to see if my pictures come out beautiful and tack sharp
@@IbrahimLucas I have had it a day now and I had to go into settings on my D7100 Nikon to adjust the lens. On my camera it's the AF fine tune. The focus was off but seemed to correct it. It's been so gloomy and cold here I haven't had a chance to do much yet.
If you liked the photo samples that I’ve shown in this video than yes, it’s good a good combo with an 80D. Since the M50 and the 80D both have an APS-C sensor. If not, then check out Canon’s 16-35 F/2.8.
Nice video as you can see I'm looking for a nice lens to put on my camera body something that takes beautiful pictures and the pictures be nice and sharp. I have small children and i like to take pictures of them so i need a nice and solid lens. Everybody keep talking about full frame camera but do i need to buy one of them?????? I want something that takes good pictures in low light situations so please help me out with this lens
Hi Leathea, thanks for watching! Which camera do you have at the moment? The quality of photos in low light situations are also determined by the sensor of your camera. Full frame cameras are in general better than APS-C sensor cameras. Because the full frame sensor is bigger than the APS-C sensor it can capture more light. There are APS-C cameras (Sony a6400 or a6600) that will do as good or even better than some full frame cameras. So, sensor size is not the only factor to consider. If you want to take sharp portraits and you're on a budget, then this is a good lens for you.
@@IbrahimLucas she have a canon 400d camera from 2006 that means the camera is 15 years old she got it from a yard sale for 10 bucks and the lens for 3 dollars it’s a tamron 18-200 camera lens and I was like it took some great pictures but the wedding she did all the pictures came out blurry so she need a better camera lens. And you said go with a full frame camera well what you think about the canon 5d mark 4 30.4 megapixels camera. So let me ask you something what would be two solid camera lenses for the full frame camera I just need two’ and for my crop sensor I want four lenses
@@IbrahimLucas i have an old camera but i want a great lens for that old camera. I want a 80d or 70d or even the 90d i want an up to date camera body i mean i like the old camera body but i was told if i have a better lens i would be straight so help me out
@@IbrahimLucas i want a full frame camera as well my father told me to buy the canon 5d mark 4 and that will be my camera and i still want a crop sensor camera
I recently bought canon 77d(apsc).. Im a hobbyist...Which is better sigma 18-35 or canon 17-55 ..my purpose is events and weddings(mostly indoor), travel, and portraits.Thanks in advance.. I own canon 50m f1.8....
Hi B.R. Srihari, thank you watching! Unfortunately I have never shot with the Canon 17-55mm so I can't tell you which one is better in terms of image quality. All I can say is that the 17-55 has a little more reach than the 18-35mm. On the other hand, the 18-35mm gives you more light when it comes to low light since it has a 1.8 aperture.
Hi Daniel, you can use it on the A7RII, but keep in mind that this is a lens made for APS-c sensor cameras. So, you will not be able to use the full range of your full frame sensor.
the sharpness for the price would be an issue for me Christopher Frost Photography reviewed this lens in 2013, but his copy of the lens was razor sharp from corner to corner at 2.8 perhaps there's more factors
He confused sharpness with focus. He has a rear focus issue with the face at distance. When comparing edge to edge sharpness you have to compare objects in the same focal plane. The section of the bridge wasn't Sharp because it wasn't in focus. That section didn't get in focus until stopped down. This lense does not disappoint for the price but there are better options if you're willing to spend a tad bit more.
@@ahmadelsiwi5557 for me 1.8 isn't as important as what you're missing on the long end. I like creating background seperation with distance not stopping down. A 17-55 at 55 2.8 is more appealing to me than 35mm at 1.8. I'd even say the 24-70 ii non IS would be a better choice but that's because I appreciate the reach more than the f1.8 constant (THOUGH 24MM ON A CROP IS NOT WIDE ENOUGH). Indoor lowlight I'd just go with a 1.4 prime. This lense does hit a sweet spot but I'd rather have a 1.4 prime and a more useful zoom range at 2.8
@@Truportaroc thanks for your feedback. I use a 50mm 1.8 prime for low light and as you said, I went with Sigma 17-70mm 2.8-4 zoom lens for everyday use. Im not sure what I am missing if I don't get this lens. Cheers
wow i want this sigma len cause i love what you had to say about this lens i want a full frame camera but that will be later on when i get my money right but for now i want a canon 80d and go from there i have my eyes on a few lens but i will buy one at a time until i have every lens i want
