I think f2 lens is enough for most photography
Agree 👍🏻
My go to one lens setup has recently been the 40mm 2.5G on my A7CII. That really surprised me how much I love the form factor and focal length. I thought I’d miss my wider aperture lenses but I really don’t.
Honestly I have been thinking about getting this lens for a while but having 2 35mm lenses it is hard to justify but I may give it a go ;)
@@adriensanguinettiI ended up getting the 40mm f2.5 and keeping my 35mm GM for when I really do feel I need f1.4
Careful with the rain on your sigma lens Adrian, apparently only has weather sealing at the connection point. I have also seen a post from Sigma Japan themselves in response to a question over weather sealing etc (for the 35mm F2); they said to avoid rain pretty much at all costs.
Backing that up, this is an email response I got from Sigma customer service when I asked about full sealing:
“The Sigma I Series range is part of the Contemporary range of Sigma lenses. Dust & splash resistance is a feature of the Sigma Art & Sport ranges but is not offered in the Contemporary range.
The dust & splash resistant ring on the lens mount is to help the camera sensor stay clean & free of any contaminants while the lens is attached.”
Though there has always been the “I’ve always used non-weather sealed lenses in rain, and they still work” argument from lots of photographers, so maybe it’s all ‘marketing vs luck’.
Thanks for your valuable inputs 👍🏻
That lens might be the right mix of not too big and not too small without compromising too much and I don't know if I'm imagining things but there's quite a pleasing look coming out of this lens. Some great photos here, keep it up! Let me know if you're up to meet soon.
Being an X-T5 shooter, you've certainly made me more than curious about getting a Sony full frame with this Sigma lens!
And there are a lot of other compact lenses 👍🏻
I love the Sony 40mm 2.5@@adriensanguinetti
I had to laugh at the comb you use for the microphone. Respect for doing it this way, why not! Another very useful video presented in a calm manner. thx!
I combined the Zeiss 2.8 with a manual Voigtländer 40mm 1.2 which is incredible light and small as well. Thats for when I need crazy bokeh without bringing an heavy AF 1.4 with me.
Nice setup 👍🏻 1.2 with a manual lens must be not easy but for sure it should look beautiful
You should try the Tamron 35mm f2.8. It has great image quality and is fully weather sealed. The only disadvantages I've found is it focuses a bit slow and although it's really light the lens housing is bigger than it needs to be. Great review by the way! I'm on a similar quest to find the "perfect" light, weather sealed, and good 35.
Sony 40mm 2.5?
I have always been curious to try this one too. Maybe one day! 🤓
wonderful pics as always!!
Glad you like them!
Great video as always man!
Glad you enjoyed it!
When I picked up my X-T5 I grabbed the new 18mm f1.4 (the big one) because it was new, sharp, weather sealed, and 1.4 aperture! I recently decided to just pick up the 23mm f2 for travel/daily shoots and the size/weight saving made me realise i had chosen a lens that kinda cancelled out the benefits of an APS-C sensor. The benefits of Fuji are the compact prime lenses.
Very true!
Loving the natural colors or was some editing done to the colors?
Thanks! I edit all my photos with my presets ;) link in the description
Sigma has a 23mm f1.4 for apsc. In case you wanted to make the switch (idk if just for Sony though). I fully get the appeal though. I wish fuji wasn't so expensive right now but I am happy with my a6000
Yes I also consider Sony for apsc but I think i’ll get the a7cii and use mostly compact lenses.
Sigma's Contemporary lineup are such a beauty of lenses. I've been keeping an eye on the 90mm one.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, appreciated :^)
Excellent video
Thank you very much!
what do you think; Fuji XH2s with the xf23mm f1.4mk2, or the A7iv with the sigma 35mm f2?
In terms of weight and potential results they are very similar. It depends on which you like better subjectively. I would still say that with the Sony you have top notch autofocus but with the fuji you have a slightly better video camera without rolling shutter
Do you think the Nikon 35mm 1.4 aperture lens is worth buying? I've recently been considering buying a 1.8 or 1.4
If on fullframe 1.8 is enough. The lens should lighter and smaller which will make the difference in the long term
HA, I was waiting for this video, been thinking about this lens.
Hope it helps!
Hey Adrien, ever considered the Sony 35 1.8?
Yes but never tried it. It just doesn’t look exciting but it is a very good one I heard
Have you ever tried the sony rx1?
Nope
There's a Yongnuo 35mm F2 lens which is as compact as this Sigma and its also very good and cheaper. I could find this for like 100€ and wow, what an amazing quality. Sadly im not 100% confortable with 35mm focal lenght, but im trying to improve this!
What brand of strap are you using?
It's from Hyperion Strap ;)
@@adriensanguinetti 😊

Am i doing a mistake buying Sony's 35mm F1.8?
Definitely not 👍🏻
