#gh5 #sigma #sigma1835 - Розваги
I actually just brought my GH5 yesterday and this was JUST the video I needed!
This lens changed my life, quite literally.
yo, which adapter/speedbooster do u use?
I have never regretted subscribing to your channel. You make educative and entertaining videos. Keep up the production. Cant wait to see in in 100k subs.
Really appreciate that, glad you're enjoying the videos!
Question. What video settings do you think benefit the best from this lens? I got this lens to support shooting video as it handles clarity and color saturation much better than any of my Nikkor lenses. I have a D500, so it is the cream of the crop of cropped sensor cameras. I want to shoot video that has a truly cinematic feel. I have been shooting some test footage at 1080 @ 24 FPS. The D500 will shoot 4K as well. Again, what video setting do you think benefits this particular lens?
Have been using this lens for years too ! Absolute gold. Only thing is used it so much the rubber is worn out now lol... but great lens and never had an issue 👌
Yeah man totally! Me too. Great lens
The other option is use speedbooster xl 0.64x with any ef mount 24-70 f2.8. After conversion, you got a full frame equiv of 31-90mm f1.8. That also pretty cool.
NOT f/1.8
Great review, thanks!
I've had for a few years now, got it on craigslist $300, used it on my Nikon D7200, great pictures. About to put it on my GH4 with Metabones speed booster So Hopefully it will also have great pics
just had this combo. how do you expose for skin tones and background? nice video!!
Been using vintage lenses with my panasonic g85 because I wanted to start learning how to shoot video. When I get some clients, I will definitely invest in the sigma 18-35 as my first lens.
Love First Good call!
Would you say there is any drawback from using the Metabones adapter as opposed to the speedbooster?
Hey Connor. Just like you I had my droughts but after seeing your video I decided to get one and it has finally arrived. At this stage I have an issue. Seems like the electronics are not working. Cant managed to see my aperture settings and the AF although I would never use it does not even work. My metabones adaptor works just fine. Do you know what the issue could be? maybe a firmware update is needed? Thanks for ant feedback.
I use the sigma 18-35mm F1.8 + 0.71X Viltrox EF-M2 mkii on Oly em5 mkii. It turns the sigma into 13-25mmF1.2. The AF is as quick as the native M43 lenses. I checked that this sigma lens uses contrast detection for AF which suits the camera using CDAF like M43 cameras. Those camera using phase detection may struggle in AF.
sounds cap
Viltrox works just like the speedboster and is less expensive.
That's not true.
never too late to make review about gh5 and the 18 35 combo.great video bro
True! Still tons of people asking about this setup and if it's right for them. Cheers!
@@ConnorRickey Hey Connor can you do a video on what your camera settings are for cinematic footage?
I have a Sony sigma A Mount I can't find anything to work whit it like a adapter
4th cons: it's heavy as hell
5th cons: it's not weather sealed
6th cons: obviously it doesn't support dual IS
This combo shines at low light conditions, perfect at studio work, but I'd prefer Lumix 12-35 2.8 when traveling and run-n-gun shooting.
I hear ya! For me, it’s worth the extra bit of weight and size for that 1.8. Even for run n gun. 12-35 is also an incredible lens. Cheers!
Is 2*multiplier still applied to this lense (focal lenght and aperture) even when you put on metabones speedbooster ? L
@@akushon_kamen with the focal reducer the formula is 18*0.71*2=25.56 on the wide end
@@DzmitryAleinik its not a full frame lens though, APS-C sized
@@renegademedia8332 that's right, it's made for Canon crop cameras
I have similar setup without a speed booster only manual adapter though. Its amazing with just a drawback of being heavy & bulky.
Love the versatility of my signa
I have a G85.. would that be a great lens for it..
Do you recommend to get the sigma 16mm f1.4 and lumix 25mm f1.7 instead of this? I can't decide as it's also way cheaper like this
I also have this lens. When I want more reach, I put it on an 'active non-glass-element adapter'. The lens now become a 36-70 mm @ f1.8, if I'm correct. I'm now able to achieve two set of zoom focal ranges w/ the same lens.
25-50mm ish to be exact
@@yoginwidhi6676 Without a focal reducer there is a 2x crop factor on a m43 sensor, correct?
That would make this lens a 18-35 (X2 ) = 36-70.
Are you using the Ronin gimbal? How is it holding up with the weight of the lens?
Thinking of making this with the actual speed booster ultra or whatever with the bmpcc4k
I just oder the lense but I need a adapter for it work whit gh5
What should IBIS focal length should be set at?
If lens is set at 18mm (with manual adapter)
A) 18mm
B) 36 mm
C) whatever correction after the manual adapter ?
Wow, this really is a beautiful lens!
It’s my favorite! Such a well-rounded lens for the GH5
hi Connor, just a heads up as a GH4 user here with the sigma 18-35 and speed booster, updated your speedbooster/adapter firmware and then go through the lens calibration process on the metabones website, this should fix your AF
I did that, actually :) After shooting on Sony, the autofocus still just isn't nearly as good.
Great Vid. I've been a photographer for over 50 years and just as a note, the term "stopping down" usually means going from a wider aperture to a smaller one (i.e. from T8 to T11) Still and all nicely done.
Nice catch! :D
I really want a Gh5 dude. I work in Tourism marketing and I could be making some crispy vids with it 🙌🏾
This is true! It's a beast.
Nice lence , I bought mein for few month now but I dont know what vitrux adaptor to buy . Please I need your help on one link
Right here! geni.us/buyviltrox
Do we need an ND filter to use it during de sunlight day ? thank you
for a 1.8 lens you definitely would need a ND filter
Totally new to the camera community! For use with the GH5, do I buy this sigma lens for canon?
Yes! Then you also have to buy a Canon EF to micro 4/3 adapter to use it on the GH5.
just Bought exactly this combo ;)
Nice vídeo bro..soo..i hace a question ...my target now it’s gh5 and i come from g7 and Keep my 7-14 Panasonic and sigma 16mm só...what do you Think?? Keep both lens or sell it and try to get 18-35 mm +metabones ....(I am not vlogger or sport filmaker (just.live music ,promotional videos , documentary.interviews ) well ...sorry my Cuban English 😏
Aliesky Perez Get the 18-35! Would be great for what you film.
Connor Rickey I means try to sell both and buy 18-35 +metabones or Keep both lens..sorry my English it’s a mess jeje
Just got this setup but for my G85 and i love it but my auto focus is wonky. Can you make some videos on how to fix that with this lense setup? I get this wild BRRRRR noise and it’s just erratic at times. Otherwise it’s amazing lol. G85, Metabones .71, Sigma 18-35
Auto focus isn't great for this combo as its not a native lens. Manual all the way
Good video. I been using this lens for a long time now
And the gh5
Thanks, love the combo!
Killer video, trying to pick one up.
Definitely do! Ditch the 5D ;)
Nice video. What will u recommend for an indie feature film maker having very low budget?
Gh5 + Lumix 12-35
Gh5 + sigma 18-35
Sony a7siii
Bmpcc4k
Considering the fact that it will be a run n gun filmmaking with minimal equipments
Hey there! Personally I would even consider the Olympus 12-40 mm. It's a great lense and the autofocus works great on the GH5!
GH5 it's a heavy body and sigma 18-35 it's heavy too...
So I want to get this lens, I will
Get the speed booster, but what is the difference between the 0.64 and 0.71 what do you recommend? I prefer more low light capability on this
×0.71 is what you want if using GH5 Is better, the other causes vignetting I believe
The ex tele converter gives you different magnification depending on if you're shooting in 1080p or 4k. In 4k its 1.4x. In 1080p I think its 2.7x
Purchased the Sigma due to the high quality picture. Great for documentary work.
so does AF not work because you don't have the speed booster? I have the GH5 arriving tomorrow with the Metabones speed booster and the Sigma 18-35 this Saturday. I was hoping to take advantage of the AF feature. Thanks for the video. Very informative.
The only difference between my Metabones and the Speed Booster is you get an extra stop with the Speed Booster - has nothing to do with Autofocus. All I'm saying in the video is the autofocus isn't the best, when compared to something like a Sony. It works - just isn't the best. Just experiment with it and make sure your camera and metabones firmware are all up to date and you should be OK.
@@ConnorRickey Awesome. Thanks for the quick response. I will test it out and see how the camera reacts. Thanks for the video. It is videos like yours that made me choose the 18-35mm Sigma for my new GH5. Looking forward to taking some awesome pictures and videos.
Hello. You are using a Panasonic Lumix GH camera and a Sigma AF 18-35mm lens with a Viltrox EF-M1 adapter. If you focus on the subject, and change the focal length of the lens (18 - 35 or 35 - 18). Does the subject remain sharp? The sharpness disappears on my camera, and I need to focus a second time. When using a Panasonic 12 -38, 2.8 lens, there is no such effect. I change the focal length and the subject is constantly in focus. What do you think is the cause of the effect with Sigma AF 18-35mm.
Сергей Николаев This is a problem with Viltrox (not with Sigma).
You must adjust the lens in the viltrox (by rotation) until the lens will focus to infinity.
I use this lens with Metabones xl 0.64 ant it is biggest cons for me :-/.
Hi there! What adapter am I getting for the gh5? Did I miss that? Thanks!
Metabones always worked great for me. You can get the speed booster if you want even better lowlight
I’m trying to find a used sigma 18-35, and i know I’ll need to get a speedbooster or adapter, but i keep finding the Nikon mount ones for cheaper. Why is this the case? Also, if I get the Nikon mount sigma, I’ll have to get a Nikon-MFT specific speedbooster/adapter? Someone please help me out! I’ve been looking this up for ever and can’t seem to find anything on the topic
Probably because not that many video shooters use Nikon... those lenses are less in demand therefore going to be more available.
Will it work just the same?
I really need an answer for this. I bought a Nikon 18 35mm thinking it was all universal. Please help
@@HWill-qj1ix you will be able to use the Nikon 18-35 on your gh5 as long as you have a Nikon Mount speedbooster. I have the Canon 18-35 so I use the EF-mount speedbooster. The benefit of having the canon mount over the Nikon one is that more lenses use the EF mount rather than F-mount or Nikon G-mount
Ey Connor, do you use some ND Filter with this GH5 combo? thanks for sharing!
Yes sir! A variable ND filter. Currently using the PM Mist variable ND but most cheaper ones will do the trick.
@@ConnorRickey thank you, i watching you from Baja. Go ahead!
Hey Connor!
In your opinion should I get the Sigma 18-35 or a Rokinon Cine 35mm for the GH5?
I`m having some trouble to decide...
Thanks!
*Im filming independent documentaries, commercial videos, short films and things like that.
But 95% of the time I`m doing that alone
That's like comparing apples to oranges. Totally different lenses my friend. Unfortunately can't really answer that one for you - just depends on what you're using it for.
I didn't see your second comment. I'd definitely go with the 18-35! It'll give you more flexibility when shooting.
@@ConnorRickey Thanks! Thats what I tought
This lens is the best lens for gh5 PERIOD
Pavel Vitek Could Be 🙌
Great lens but a bit too sharp and clinical
I have it, but i like the Voigtlanders Noktons which have a lot more character and an extra stop
I agree! Great all-arounder but if you want more of a distinct "look" it's better to go with manual vintage glass.
which metabones you used? 0.71 or 0.6
.71 for this lens it is an aps-c size
For the Lumix GH5 do I need an adapter for the Canon Sigma 18-35 work???
Yes!
@@DRobertson725do you have a link to an adaptor? I’m new to all of this.
@@rockstarrelly I don't have one specifically for it but you can check out on B&H photo and you can contact them as well they are very helpful and can get you what you need... good luck just look up canon sigma 18-35 adapter for GH5... i sold my GH5(that was hard to do) and bought the Panny S5M2
Using gh5+viltrox+sigma 18-35 and live it!)
blue_hillz Right on!
My setup! I love it! All I want now is sigma 50-100mm and Panasonic 12-35
Can I use a Nikon lens and adapter? I bought the Sigma Nikon by mistake. What's the draw back? Would you recommend getting a Canon mount?
I really need help
Yeah just use a Nikon to Micro 4/3 adapter!
As far as I understand no Af and a manual aperture ring. Some people prefer it, and its a lot cheaper.
I think the Gh5 with the Sigma 18-35 is still the best combo to use
100%!
what do you think of leicaa 10-25 f1.7? which one is better? im still confuse which one to buy
💯
So i wasn't aware that i needed an adapter for the lens which is why it doesn't fit lol. Can someone send me a link or tell me which adapter i need and size . Newbies here , everything is so overwhelming lol
if you look at the 2:45 minute he is using the metabones ef-m43 mount t
@@DRobertson725 I CAUGHT THAT AND GOT IT! amazing lens my friend. A but overwhelming for a newbie like me but so far i have managed to take baby steps and made some content for my social media.
Still in the middle of the video but does AF work on GH5 with this lens?
It does. However it does not work very well.
thanks a lot - af is really important to me
Dream lens with GH5 😍 don't need auto focus... it's just for me
👌
youtubers ask you to comment below so others scroll down and read comments coz they get bored with listening to a 4 bar music loop and its a way for the youtuber to get more view time from videos.
What are the Pros and Cons of using the adapter as opposed to going native on the GH5?
Cons: Weaker AF-C in photo mode, AF-S is still ok. No weather sealing, no dual IS. Heavy. Very heavy and unbalanced.
Pros: A lot. You get 3 f/1.2 primes from 24, 35, 50mm (full frame fov), DoF of f/2.4 (which is more than enough for videos), compared to native primes from Olympus or Panasonic which would cost you over $3,000 for those 3 focal lengths at f/1.2.
Love the fact that I can have a so called '25-50mm Pro M.Zuiko f/1.2' in a single lens when coupled with Speedbooster
You don't. It is F/1.8 as for exposure metering and F/2.5 as for depth of field.
@@justanotheryoutubeuploader If you use a Speedbooster, you'll see that it does indeed expose brighter than the lens aperture would suggest, as if it was wider than f1.8.
@@raksh9 I do use it and it exposes the same.
Open up to 1.8, not stop down. We always say "open up to" when talking about the widest aperture of the lens
Yes R.M.V.P Studios is correct. Also look up some reviews on Viltrox vs Metabones and you will see that Viltrox is cheaper and actually out preforms metabones in just about every category.
Which one do you recommend in the Viltrox adapter?
Apart from the obvious alternative and well known advantages of using a speedbooster ( I use the Metabones Ultra) it can also be used to make the 18-35 act as a -truly par focal lens by slightly adjusting the speedbooster’s lens element back or forth until achieving the desired effect just as you would using the back focus knob on a broadcast lens! A picture of a focussing chart can be downloaded from the web to aid precise adjustment (google will help you find one).🙏🏾
nice video
Thank you!
Great vid, would have been greater imho without the distracting music.
Bro you use tripod collar or its speedbooster?
Even with my 80d, sigma 18-35 still very front heavy. I wanna put tripod collar but how size or model should i buy?
Is it a good idea to buy a used lens?
Qasim Naz I bought this used and it’s been great. I’d be more worried to buy online - try to meet up locally and test it out.
If the AF sucks, why not just get a $10 canon to m43 adapter?
Couple reasons. #1, this isn’t a manual lens. Meaning you still need an electronic exchange between the lens and camera to change your aperture. You could do that with, for example, a manual cine lens like Rokinon makes. Second, the *continuous autofocus isn’t great. I still like having the ability to snap things quickly into focus by pressing the shutter button halfway down. Just my two cents :)
@@ConnorRickey so it does focus quickly when using AF? I do like to leave it in manual, but use af to lock on subject quickly....panning to groom, and back to bride walking down isle for example.
@@joefoto yeah it’d work ok for that - obviously not as good as a newer Sony or Panasonic camera. Again, i wouldn’t trust the “AFC” continuous autofocus. But by pressing the shutter halfway it’ll snap in OK. My advice would be to buy it from a legit retailer, if you don’t like it return it. Most places have a 30 day return policy.
Hi Connor, great video man, enjoyed it.
I am just moving into creating content for camera gear and videography, it’s a recently discovered passion. I love it. I’d appreciate you checking out my latest video for feedback.
Anyway. I bought the GH5 like 9 months ago after LOADS of research. I have the Leica 12-60mm lens and it’s good. But I’ve seen so much good stuff about the 18-35 sigma. I’m so close to buying it along with the metabones 0.71x ultra speed booster. Is it going to be worth it though? I basically want to use it for pretty much all my b roll. I also don’t use auto focus at all at the moment because I don’t do much in the way of Vlogging. If that changed I’d likely get a canon camera for the dual pixel autofocus.
Anyway. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Hey, glad you enjoyed it! Yes, I think you'd enjoy the 18-35 setup for all your b-roll. Won't have as much zoom as that 12-60 but I'd exchange that for a constant 1.8 any day!
I've got the Gh5 and Sigma 18-35.
I searched the entire Internet and did not find this information anywhere.
Maybe you can help.
The question is about the stabilization. What stabilizer settings should I set in camera if I shooting handheld? For example if I panning or tilt should the operation mode be on or off? Also if I walking with the camera can the operation mode help stabilize the footage? The same question if using a shoulder stabilizer.
I apologize for so many questions.
Hope you will help me with that! Thank you in advance!
Any chance you’ve found the answer somewhere?
Cinematic has nothing to do with b roll. Cinematic is an adjective that Can be used to describe footage. B roll is a noun that categorized the type of footage you’d shoot.
Damn just got this lens and it doesn't even fit my GH5
Did u get a adapter?
*Good afternoon, my friend. Your video is very good! Have a nice day, support your friends' channel (sub.bell.big blue thumb) Natalya*
2 minutes into the video imma leave here bcs theres a bunch of miss information, probably not this guy's fault, as a pro in the field this video is just sad at 2 minutes can't imagine it gets better. sorry.
4th con is weight....
It’s definitely pretty heavy but not the heaviest lens by any means.
Sigma 18-35 might be a good combo, thanks! God bless you man! Thanks for the camera tips, haha. And know that Jesus Christ loves you and was willing to die the death we deserved as righteousness punishment for our sins so that we could have eternal life! Its so important to be in relationship with God our Maker because we were designed to be in relationship with Him, anything else cannot fill the void, the God-sized hole in our hearts. God desires to redeem us so much that He was willing to become a man Himself, Jesus Christ the Word of God in the flesh (John 1:1-14) and take our place suffering our death so we could be redeemed with His righteousness. The only eternal God has paid our eternal death. It is a gift to be recieved by faith, we could never earn or pay for salvation. Believe in Jesus and that He is who He says He is, and follow Him *because you believe in Him and He will save you. We all know this world does not last, not even our bodies, but after this life we will face God and He must give a righteous judgment against our sins, but in our life He gives us the opportunity to believe and have that saving faith in Jesus, (the hope of thing not yet seen Hebrews 11:1).
2 Peter 3:9-11 NKJV - The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,
God absolutely loves you, you are not alone, turn to Him and experience comfort, peace, and purpose that only the True and Living God can give, Jesus. I tried many things in my life but the fullfillment and LIFE (being able to comfort others with this same hope) that I have have been given in Jesus is not comparable to the drugs, lust, and vanity I spent years chasing. My hope is thay you would accept the love and relationship of God found in Jesus Christ.
The Panasonic Leica 10-25mm f1.7, not even mentioned in your post, is currently a better choice than the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8.
PAC Studio Panasonic it cost almost 3 times than sigma 18-25mm 😕
Could be, if you can afford it! I think the Sigma still wins in overall value given the price.
Yeah, and it’s $1600 more expensive! I’d buy a full frame camera before I paid that for m43 lens!
@@BlessbyGBeats How did you come up with that difference in price? If you consider a Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 + a Metabones T Speed Booster Ultra 0.71x MFT Adapter, the difference in price is less than $500.
The Panasonic Leica's have their own look but can be a little to sharp and digital. Not as good as the sigma at 24 fps for that characteristic soft look when filming video. With the exception of the Panasonic Leica 42.5 that is. I never purchased the Sigma combo (but would if I could do it all over again). I have read more than once that there is some play where the lens mounts to the GH5 when using the Metabones/Sigma combo. (poor fit compared to native lenses)
I have the Voightlander 17.5 and if not for that I would purchase the Sigma/Metabones combo today.
