    Sigma 18-35 F1.8 DC Art Lens: geni.us/9OAZEG
    Rode NTG3B: geni.us/2Cfl9
    This is an autofocus noise test to verify just exactly how bad is the noise on a Canon C200 setup with a NTG3 shotgun microphone attached to the camera. There's a lot of videos out there that talk about the lens autofocus noise in general terms across all platforms ie. sony, fuji, canon etc. without diving into the specifics of the setup. Some people say the autofocus noise isn't that bad while others say its horrendous.
    I was unable to check the lens firmware but seeing as it was purchased in Q1 2020, I suspect it has the latest firmware version 2.02 which was released on 2019-02-21.
    With the Rhode NTG3 microphone attached to the camera in the forward position, very little noise was picked up in the video. With this mic, the in video noise performance was on par with my existing Canon 16-35 F4 lens. I suspect lens adapters make the autofocus noise a lot worse on adapted cameras.

    This was awesome my man. I also was waiting for someone to address what to me seemed like the most basic question about this lens. Everyone just skips over it. Even that popular British reviewer who always has smooth jazz in the background. The Sigma's noise is definitely a problem for internal microphones. It's an old lens, so I guess it's lagging in technology.
    The Canon's noise wasn't bad and I could see someone shooting with the onboard mic occasionally.
    But the Sigma beats the Canon in the strictly visual aspect of autofocusing. It has a smoother look as it locks focus. There's a slight zoom effect, but it's acceptable. Whereas the Canon is jumpy and more jarring when attempting to lock focus, and there's too much of a zooming effect.
    Thanks, again!

    Very helpful. I just got this lens and when using it with a Rode videomicro mic the autofocus noise is still loud. Looks like shotgun is the way to go

    Another superb video. I've always wondered why no one looks at the noise from the autofocus and here you are, having done that too. Haha

    great video...that noise doesn't sound bad at all with the external mic. With the lens adapted to my Fuji XT3 using the Fringer adapter + internal mic, it is horrendous. With the Rode Video micro, it still pics it up. Tested it with a lav mic at vlogging distance and lav picks it up. Kinda disappointing bc everything else about the lens is amazing to a beginner like me. Stills and close focus distance are great. Good excuse to pick up an NTG3 now, Lol.

    I've returned a 105mm lens f2.8 just because of a gear-like noise when autofocusing. The sound was louder. I don't know if it's normal or I've got a broken one.

    Sigma noise that everyone is talking about is when you use it in conjunction with the MC11 adapter on Sony e-monut.

    • @djmartinez5054
      @djmartinez5054 3 роки тому +1

      No, the noise, as demonstrated here, is clearly from the lens during autofocus operation. There is a 1 to 1 comparison with the Canon lens.

    I just bought the Sigma 18-35mm brand new. And I tested the AF and it’s not loud whatsoever! It isn’t silent, but you can barely hear it. Maybe Sigma added a better AF motor on the newer 18-35mm ???

    • @SuprUsrStan
      @SuprUsrStan  4 роки тому +4

      For most things it’s not too bad. It at its worst when you’re in continuous autofocus tracking a subject that’s slowly moving towards or away from the camera. IMO they really should release a version 2 with a better autofocus motor. It’s been almost 7 years since this was first released.

    So I just bought a sigma 24mm 1.4 art lens for my canon R6. I noticed the noise while it was auto focusing. I thought something was wrong with the lens. I only have RF lenses and this is my first Sigma lens. So I assume that this is normal for the lens to make that noise while it’s focusing? I was thinking about returning the lens because I thought the noise was not normal.

    This may be a dumb question but I have the canon T3i and autofocus works on taking pictures but doesn’t work for when I’m taking video? Would you know the solution to this problem. Thank you!

    • @SuprUsrStan
      @SuprUsrStan  4 роки тому

      Did you set the autofocus for continuous autofocus while in the video mode?

    • @EmsPlace1
      @EmsPlace1 4 роки тому

      SuprUsr Stan um no I will have to figure that out. I read somewhere T3is can’t do video autofocus but I don’t think that’s true.
