    It shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that the 40 is so great considering it's essentially the optics from Sigma's 40mm Cine lens re-housed and given an autofocus motor. It also makes its cost a pretty killer bargain for what you get.

    Thanks for the excellent explanation of the MTF charts. My budget director, (my wife), allowed me to get the 55mm Otus a few years ago. It's sick that the 40mm was in Otus territory on the chart. Sigma has done a nice job with their Art lenses for Canon in my opinion. The larger Canon bodies feel more comfortable in my hands since I am use to dealing with heavier lenses which kind of feels better balanced on the larger bodies. I add grips to my bodies because personally I feel more comfortable when I use them with heftier lenses.

  • @MegaNardman
    @MegaNardman 5 років тому +2

    Personally, I'll take size over extreme sharpness. That's why I'll stick with the 55mm 1.8 (281g) over the Sigma 40mm(1.2kg), even though the Sigma crushes it on the MTF charts. I'd really like to see the MTF chart on the Sony 24mm GM. I'm renting it at the moment, and its corner to corner sharpness is insanely good, even when wide open. I'm sure it won't be on par with the Sigma (what is), but it's a size that I can take hiking without hating myself :)

    @sheldonspock5566 Рік тому

    Very late to the party but just to nitpick on one thing: Depth of field is the exact same for both shots, the only difference is that the 40mm has a wider entrance pupil when shot at same aperture, therefore it creates larger blur circles, and with the perspective difference (aka compression) of the background, this appears more blurry.

  • @shadda
    @shadda 5 років тому +1

    This might be a stupid question; I know bokeh quality is extremely subjective, but would you say that rounder/more perfectly circular bokeh is generally more desirable? One thing I noticed in your test was that the 40mm has more lemon shaped bokeh balls, and that would put me off from getting a lens, personally, while the less-sharp 35mm has almost perfectly round bokeh. What are your thoughts on this?

    • @geraldundone
      @geraldundone  5 років тому +1

      I think that for some purposes the rounder bokeh is more suited, but that can also make a lens seem kind of lifeless in certain scenarios. Lenses with abnormal bokeh can be more interesting and provide more character, but it would depend on the look you're going for and the subjects you're shooting. No wrong answer.

    Hey Gerald :) Could you please make a video about how knee, black level etc affects image ( i have an A7 III) ? trying to create a grade with as much highlights preserved as possible, with a little Arri alexa tint for HLG 3. Thanks :) I love your technical in depth videos!

      Don't touch any of it, as you won't get more dynamic range. Fix contrast in post. Consider the Leeming LUT for colors (and see the Leeming LUT Facebook group for technical advice).

      Here's a helpful article from the Sony Help Guide on it that will probably answer all your questions: helpguide.sony.net/di/pp/v1/en/contents/TP0000909110.html
      Personally, I don't change those settings, I do it all in post.

    What does the MTF look like on the 50mm & 85mm and 56mm sigma art?

    That's with the a7R3 right? Gotta take advantage of that sharpness!

      Those were with the a7 III. It'd be even crazier on the R III.

      Where do you guys get all of this cringe from....? The video is great. The quality of comments, though, including this one, is below zero.

    Had Sigma 40mm, was only beaten by a Lens multiple times more expensive - Zeiss Otus, only marginally, no other Lens delivered the sharpness & resolution, at that time. Obviously Sigmas downside with the _ART series_ is size & weight. *I switched to the 28mm Art for Landscapes & also 24-105mm Art, both are beautiful. I prefer Lenses with Aperture rings & less bulky but its a compromise.

    Sigma has published the 35 mm f:1.4 for the L-Mount. It is dust and water resistent. Have they changed the optical quality of this glass? The difference in price between this 2 lenses is big and I wonder, wich one to buy.

    Great video. Quick question, I have pre-ordered the Leica SL2 and I'm trying to decide if the Sigma 40mm would be a good fit. Your thoughts, please. Also, do you recommend any other lenses? Thanks.

    Outstanding review, Gerald. Thank you! Inanimate object performance is superb. Curious to see its portrait performance in comparison with others (Zeiss etc).

    I moved to sony. On the A7SIII it could be a good choice for high quality videowork. But one question is unmentioned: who loud are the motors while focussing in AF-C? Vor video it is a dealbreaker, when you could hear the motors constantly working.

    Do you think the battery grip would help balance the body/lens weight difference?

    Great vid as always... think you could compare with the SigART 50mm? I feel like that’ll be a closer tell of it’s worth the extra cost.
