Really enjoy seeing your examples. People on the MF forums talk a lot about the sigma 40mm but nice to see that the other sigma art series hold up as well
Appreciate you sharing your experience! I am trying to decide whether to go gfx from my Sony kit or not.... ;) Doing Family shoots with my xt5 for over a year then doing family shoots with the a7rv I actually was missing more moments with my Sony because of the ability to shoot at such a rapid and accurate pace... its like it was mixing my brain up ROFL. Still using my Sony kit for fast paced events but honestly it just doesn't bring me the same kind of joy using it as my xt5 does. Another point you made about taking less images is very cool as I have also seen a massive decrease on the number of images I take.... Probably about 25% of the number of images I use to come home with. (Have been forcing myself to shoot in single shot on the Sony) Subbed! Also... Beautiful Images sir 🙏
Hey Jason, Thank you for your comments, I'm glad you found the video informative. I think we all get carried away with tech improvements and can forget why we use cameras in the first place. Hanging back in the slow lane is a good place to be. The X-T5 is a great camera, I have just uploaded another video about the x-h2 which you may want to check out. ua-cam.com/video/bta7TuD6A8Y/v-deo.html
Great review and interesting use of alternate lenses to produce stunning results. With the advances of the 100ii in autofocus I think the extra money is worth the gains in AF performance. I’m sure your wedding clients were very happy with the results
Great shots. You should try to close a bit the sigma to see how much it change the focal plain and the separation while probably improving even more resolution and contrast...
Nice overview, Sethi. I really enjoyed seeing your images. Are there any other EF-Mount lenses you are thinking of acquiring now that you have the Fringer adapter?
Thank you, for now I’m happy with the 50mm, I may consider the sigma 85 1.4 for future use and the sigma 35mm 1.4. They are cheap enough to buy and work really well.
Hey, thanks! I have not tried the EF 50mm f1.2 yet. I think it's a slower focusing lens and I felt that pairing it with an already slow focussing camera was probably not a good idea. I will look into it though. Thanks for the suggestion.
I have the 65mm mitakon and also the 55mm 1.7 GF. Let me tell you the 55mm is an amazing lens, i shot a wedding just with it. All the photos had the medium format look. It's totally worth it. I used the 50mm sigma aswell, but nothing compares to the 55mm1.7.
Agree 55 1.7 is a great lens, but honestly the price to output this Set up definitely pushes the question on what an adapted lens can do for a much cheaper option
@@timpriestley8997 Oh man! I said the same thing. I have almost all of the Mamiya 645 lenses, dont get me wrong these are beautiful lenses. But man the 55mm 1.7 is just on the league of it's own.
I adapted my Nikon 200-500 and very sharp. Also no dark corners until zoomed in at 500mm

Hey, thank you for your comments, I will definitely check out the 100ii when my pocket allows it :)
Very interesting content and flawless results
Thank you
Great video and information, lovely results

Thank you, I will try to stop down to f2 next time i shoot a wedding.

Have you tried gfx 100S II. If possible can you compare.
I would love to compare, it’s an expensive camera, if I ever get one, I’ll definitely compare the two :)
Hey have you tried to ef 50 mm 1.2 L
Nice informative video tnx!!!

@@timpriestley8997 agreed, this is why I’m sticking to the sigma 50
