Cinematics / PC Hood is great. It took about a month for them to prepare but they literally shipped it on Friday 4/10 and it was on my porch Monday 4/13! They were set to arrive on Friday 4/17 but there were no hold ups in customs from Hong Kong or New York. So they made their way to me in Baltimore, Maryland in no time. I will say, these lenses are gigantic. Seeing on the web is one thing, but holding them is another, especially the 50-100. I love these bad boys and thanks Epic Light Media for making this video and getting me 15% off. Happy shooting everyone!
Aaron Smith I’m happy for you! Glad everything came together with shipping. I know you were worried with customs and the virus. Good things happen for good people! Proud of you capn.
Yeah. I dont know who really likes those infomercials. How can you tell your honest opinion when you get paid a comiccion for sales? Its simply dishonest
Dude you need to do a follow up camparing the difference between the Official Sigma Cine zoom lense and these ones. I would love to see the difference 😊
@@rampagetv Yeah, but because it’s modded it’s NOT exactly the same. And parfocal is never really, 100% parfocal, even with the most expensive cine lenses. So it’s interesting to know how these stack up and how reliable they are.
Nice info! Unfortunately not for full frame as the sigma 18-35 is for aps-c sensors. But maybe they will adapt full frame Sigma lenses in the future. I'll keep an eye on them.
Hmmm well this “review” started well but there was literally no actual review of the lenses. Shaking vid of the x-rite board for 20-30 seconds that appears to be out of focus. Nothing close up showing the lenses themselves or a static test of a focus chart. You are good behind the camera and hopefully you can do a 2nd review with more detail. (Looking forward to seeing more from you as your behind the camera style is good)
Great review. I'm looking to use this lens with the bmpcc 6k pro as well. My only question is, on the Cinematics website they caution that it's "not 100% parfocal on several bmpcc 6k cameras." Have you tested these with the 6k/6k pro, or noticed any issues losing parfocal ability on these cameras or others? Would love to know in order to decide between the EF or PL mount versions
I appreciate the want for honest feedback. The review didn't dive deep into the image. It wasn't really a review at all. You mostly said you just liked them. I'm confused why you shot this vid on the iphone instead of shooting on the actual lens itself. People here don't care about what the iphone looks like - they want to see the lens. The jokes at the beginning gave the video a slow start. Thanks for showing us the glass, but I wish you would've dived in more.
thanks for the Video, are the lens internals from the Sigma Art series...? and if so could a focus test between the Sigma Cine's, the Sigma Art and the Cinematic's version. these seem to good to be true....
"Epic Light Media" thanks for the video, but i want to suggest you to make 2nd part of the review for this lens, including with the reviews for: 1. Skin tones of a model under daylight and under lightning. 2. Lowlight test. 3. Sharpness, ecample you can test with you're sigma photo lenses or if you have expensive cine lenses compare with them. 4. Rotation of a focal length in degree, is it 180° or lower 5. Do they have official webpage? 6. Flare test. 7. Bokeh test. Once again thanks a lot, this is a good news, i thought only Rokinon Cine DS lenses were the cheapest ones)
@@EpicLightMedia You should definitely do a more expansive test. Not insane but give a "in use" type of review. Thank you for this I stumbled upon your review of these. Glad I did. How long was it to ship from China?
you didnt mention the focus throw, that is the main difference with the sigma's. Cinematics doesnt change the short photo focus throw, which is for videographer not so great. same for the iris as you did mention
I’m not sure if it’s just larger cause of the rehousing or if they actually changed it but it’s much wider of a throw now and it takes a couple of turns with my hand to go from infinity to close
Just ran into your video here. Not sure if anyone else has asked, but things I am thinking of from photo lenses ... is there any focus breathing, does the back focus change from wide to zoom, is there a color shift between the wide angle lens and the longer zoom lens, did they measure the side to F or T stop? Just things I wouldn't mind knowing. It's a neat concept, but if it has the usual issues of photo lenses as oppose to true cine lenses. Then it's no different to me as putting on gears on a photo lens.
Yes there is focus breathing, the lenses are parfocal though. There is no color shift between the two lenses, they are T stops. The biggest reason we bought them was for the hard stops and the de-clicked aperture.
They were the cheapest super 35mm cine zooms we could find. But FYI... I looked recently and the Red 18-85 T2.9 zoom looks cool and you can buy one used for like 3500 or less on eBay
@@EpicLightMedia Cool. Is the throw the same as on the photo equivalent? Or did they engineer it to have a long throw to give you some control of the focus as oppose to snappy focus (typically needed for photography)
Since the housing is much wider than the original lens the throw is larger than most photo lenses. I don’t think they did any engineering though to make it wider. It is too wide to turn with your hand in one go.. definitely close to the sigma cine lenses I’ve used in the past... sorry I can’t get more specific cause I haven’t measure the throw
Thanks for sharing the video and the discovery. What is the degree of focus throw?... could you do it manually by hand or would most likely need a follow focus? Some future tests would be great if you've got the time to share. Thanks!
@@EpicLightMedia Great, thanks! Watching your demo clip samples that you edited it appears you truly shoot great stuff and know what you are doing. I look forward to seeing your samples.
Great review! Did you try new meike cine lenses? 12,16,25,35 mm are available, and soom there will be 50 and 85 mm. Those lenses are costing here in Europe 400 $ each...
Great video! Please can you tell me if there will be a crop factor using these lenses on a Canon C100? I like to buy the lenses and would like to use them on two different camera systems. Can the lenses with Nikon mount be easily adapted to Canon EF (Canon C100)? I do not need automatic aperture transmission. Are there any restrictions?
Fantastic unboxing and showing of these 2 beauties. Just wanted to see how has these lenses working out for you. Any tips regarding pros cons and something to consider with this glass? A classic show n tell vid review would be excellent as this one is bang'n! Thanks bruh bruh!
One con is that the company that mods the lenses is kind of random and is based in china... so I’m not sure how long these lenses will last before falling apart. That being said, after using these non-stop for months they are still as good as the day they arrived... so, so far so good. The glass and image is amazing and I used the photo versions of the lenses for years before buying the cine versions. The lenses are heavy... which can be a good or bad thing depending on your rig. I like the weight though. Anyway... I still like the lenses
@@EpicLightMedia Wow Wow!😀 Last question do you recommend using this glass on certain sensors? Full frame super 35 MFT Apsc? Or does it adapt to any sensor on the market now. Thanks for the response man. Your other BTS vids framing & light produce award winning results. I appreciate how you continue to tech & inspire us all.
Thanks so much! That means a lot! We hope to keep making many more videos. These lenses are meant for aps-c & super 35mm sensors only. They offer Nikon, EF mount and maybe some others.
will these lenses have any problem adjusting zoom or focus with tilta nucleus nano if theyturn easily i will purchase ...i dont wanna buy a new follow focus
Looking at picking these up, but like you said, very little can be found only about them. Maybe you can answer two questions for me. 1: Since they are Photo converts, are the metadata contacts still on the lens mounts and do they still work? 2: The sigma Cine glass is thread in the front, allowing 82mm filters to be installed, nice when you want to shoot without a large mattebox. Does this have any kind of threading on the front for filters?
1: I’m not seeing any data like iris on my camera. I’m not sure though if information like focal length is retained for meta data. 2: yes both lenses have threads for filters in the front. The 50-100 is 82 and I believe the 18-35 is like 77 or something.
- Sigma photo 18-35mm + 50-100mm: $1700 - CT.pro sigma rehouse 18-35mm + 50-100mm: $3530 - Sigma cine rehouse 18-35mm + 50-100mm: $8000 - DZO 20-55mm + 50-125mm: $4800, a real cine lens, just as sharp as the sigma, no focus breathing (not like sigma), truly parfocal (not like sigma), no missing focal length (not like sigma), 16-blade iris (true round bokeh, not like sigma 9-blade), matching gears (not like photo or CT.pro), only $1270 more than the crappy chinese rehouse and almost half the price of the official sigma rehouse. Buy sigma photo to save money, buy DZO to save money and get a good cine lens.
These lenses are not full frame, how do they work with a full frame camera, i saw your camera rig and you were using BM Ursa. Forgive my ignorance. Im really interested in both, the camera and lenses. Thanks.
Super super good video. Thanks for sharing it! I don’t suppose you’ve tried the lenses on a gh5s with a metabones 0.64 or 0.71 speed booster? If you have and they don’t vignette or have other major issues, we will buy a pair, thanks to this video!!!
Fascinating! Have you noticed any difference between the rehoused versions and the cine versions from sigma? I know the cine versions are essentially the same as the photo versions (optics wise with better coating) but the price is like half!!!
I used the sigma cine versions for a commercial years ago and that’s what made me buy the photo versions and now I have these new rehoused kind. Optically I can’t tell a difference between any of them. Yesterday by business partner visited Sigma headquarters and they told him directly that the photo and cine version use the same glass. I’m not an expert on lenses, however, so someone else might be able to see differences that I can not.
@@EpicLightMedia 100%! I own the photo version and have used the cine versions but when I was told that optically they're near identical just in a cine housed format I couldn't justify paying the extra $$$ for the same optics. I'm definitely looking at CT Pro for some one off lenses as these prices are incredible!
Here's a silly question, I know they are cinema lenses and meant for manual focus but considering they adapt it from an autofocus lens, does the AF still work???
@@EpicLightMedia okay cool I'll check it out thanks also I'm about to get the Blackmagic 6K is it going to fit? Sorry I'm new to this. I'm asking thanks
Thank you for your review! I'm stoked and ready to go, but I do have a question for the group. Has anyone had any experience using these lenses with a speed booster? I own 2 18-35 and want to ship one over for rehousing, but I'm a BMPCC 4K guy, and I haven't seen a single video or credit about these amazing lenses in combo with Metabones and M43 CAMERA ...thanks to anyone who can help!
Would like to see some more footage showing if there is flare or ghosting, seems like focus breathing is a non issue if they are parfocal, kinda intrigued!
Here is a silly question, if you can manually control aperture with the lens, the camera itself still has digital aperture, where do you set your digital aperture to work best with the manual?
There are companies that mod the sigma photo lenses into cines for like 1/3 the price of these. I have a full frame sony though, so I can't use them. Maybe once I upgrade to a BMPCC 6k...
I clicked the link for the 50-100 and couldn't see other mount options. Anyone know if they offer E mount? I'm not even sure if these can be used on mirrorless cameras but I'm wondering because I'm planning to buy the sony a7iii.
@@EpicLightMedia I am currently communicating with them but they can't answer my question. perhaps you could. would the two lenses you have cover the z6 sensor size of Sensor: 35.9 x 23.9 mm?
If the front elements were that big, then it was a great deal. The lens' front barrel diameter is 114mm, not the lenses. The lenses are tiny compared to the lens' barrel.
Kketansa Art remember they are rehoused Sigma Art Photo lenses. They aren’t charging the glass inside. They are designed to fit a 114mm front face because that’s a standard size to fit a matte box. Also if the front glass element was like 114mm that would be an insanely expensive lens.
Wow, I liked this a lot!! Mainly because i have both Sigma 18-35 and 50-100 for stills and because I want to invest in cinema glass in the future without spending too much. Thank you for informing the community about this ;)

Hahhahahaha, yeah, that was a new one for me, made me lol like nobody's business XD
Unpacking could be shorter though 📹 🎥 📽
Wished this had a much longer breakdown with more tests - focus throw, breathing, etc
obviously its the same as sigma photo lenses, plenty of test on youtube
Apart from the parfocal mod nothing is done to the optics. The rest are just mechanical changes to better suit a cinema rig.
rampagetv soooo there’s focus breathing?

They’re repacked sigma lenses. Flickr will have all your sample images
The 'footage' at 02:00 mins on from Sigma is amazing ! Sure I was even impressed using my old Sigma DL 70-300... but look at the results here..
How would these apsc lenses work on a bmpcc4k with 0.64x speed booster?
They would work but with our tests the parfocal wouldn’t with a speed booster
Epic Light Media that’s good to know! Thank you. Rey much 🙏🏼
I've been trying to find the difference between the CT and CN models? Not much info out there.

I think the biggest difference is these lenses are zooms. Even though the xeen lenses are faster the sigma cine lenses are more versatile
Do these lenses work on the Fujifilm? A special adapter needed ? Thanks
Hello there. what are you using for make the zoom in and zoom out?
Tilta m focus system
@@EpicLightMedia that's fast. Thanks!!!
What about focus breathing? what about sharpness? could you compare them with Sigma Cine Lens?
Subscribed! Thanks for this. I just cancelled my order for a Sigma Art 18-35 and am buying this. Did you get the AF version? Were did you buy them?
Here is a silly question, if you can manually control aperture with the lens, the camera itself still has digital aperture, where do you set your digital aperture to work best with the manual?
Good question! With a cine lens like this the camera doesn’t recognize the aperture and it’s all manual. There is no digital aperture
Oh that’s amazing! Would this also apply to a bmpc4k or a Sony a7s ii?
Yes
Are these lens able to pair with speed boosters???
Hey buddy, great video, I have a question:
This 2 lenses are compatible with the cinematic Blackmagic 4k,I would appreciate your help, thanks.
If you have a lens adapter they work yes. But I’m not sure if they still remain parfocal with an adapter
There are companies that mod the sigma photo lenses into cines for like 1/3 the price of these. I have a full frame sony though, so I can't use them. Maybe once I upgrade to a BMPCC 6k...
what cameras can they be used with? microfour thirds? APC? Super 35? Full Frame?
Apsc or super 35mm or micro 4/3rds with an adapter. But not full frame
thank God someone to review those! they make other hosings as well.. 70-200 f2.8 from Canon if I'm not mistaken
Yeah they rehouse lots of canon lenses and stuff. So many options on their website
I clicked the link for the 50-100 and couldn't see other mount options. Anyone know if they offer E mount? I'm not even sure if these can be used on mirrorless cameras but I'm wondering because I'm planning to buy the sony a7iii.
I don’t see an e mount option either. If you want the lens on E you might need to buy an adapter.

so how do they compare to Fujinon MK video lens?
How is the focus throw on the modified housed lens
Look on pchood.com for exact measurements but from my experience using the lenses the throw is long enough for me.
What camera and lenses do you use for footage at 02.00? Thanks
Ursa mini pro 4.6k
Hi there. Does the lenses keep the AF funtion?
Hey! No it doesn’t unfortunately
I really digged the video, great work and thanks for the mention of the lens, never heard myself before this!
What did you use to zoom & out?
Where did you purchase both your 18 to 35 and 50 to 100?
www.pchood.com
@@EpicLightMedia What was the turn around from purchase to delivery, also the method of payment?
It was a few weeks at least and I think we just used a credit card. They were very friendly over email after we ordered.
@@EpicLightMedia I am currently communicating with them but they can't answer my question. perhaps you could. would the two lenses you have cover the z6 sensor size of Sensor: 35.9 x 23.9 mm?
Yes they will cover that size
If the front elements were that big, then it was a great deal. The lens' front barrel diameter is 114mm, not the lenses. The lenses are tiny compared to the lens' barrel.
Kketansa Art remember they are rehoused Sigma Art Photo lenses. They aren’t charging the glass inside. They are designed to fit a 114mm front face because that’s a standard size to fit a matte box. Also if the front glass element was like 114mm that would be an insanely expensive lens.
@@dakotakelly hmmm :)
are there hard stops on the focus and zooms?
Yes
can the meike lens be used for photography
Nice video, a real comparison with the original sigma photo lenses would have been great though!
Good point
If you ask me not to suscribe, definitely I would 😂. Great video.
Dude can you do a video about the Rig you have with all the parts?
Ok
You say the lenses look sick, I can see nothing wrong with them, they look great.
Wow, I liked this a lot!! Mainly because i have both Sigma 18-35 and 50-100 for stills and because I want to invest in cinema glass in the future without spending too much. Thank you for informing the community about this ;)
Thanks!!
Great Lens, is it for full frame too?
No it’s just super 35mm lenses
Nice! Thanks for letting me know about these!!
Just found your channel! Love it
Do they deliver to the UK?
What rig are you using to focus the len?
