SIGMA FF PRIME

[Aleksandr Frayman]

Hello! Who have already bought the Sigma ff Prime? what feelings do you have? I already had to buy a few to use. I think these lenses from 1 to the last cent worth the money. They are from edge to edge sharp even at 1.5 T , very light and compact. Very good mechanics in my opinion + good build. The one who thinks what to buy in 2017 on your Weapon/epic-w. Take it, not thinking about anything from Sigma FF prime. And at the end of the year Vista and Tokina to consider, as it will arrive on 18 and 25 mm) also, expect a full review from Phil Holland ))

I find the Sigma FF prime beautiful and soft bokeh with a sharp image. To me even than it resembles the Cooke Look, if you love him, then this is for You.

sounds great! thx for the reply

Have you got links to anything you've filmed with these Sigma Cine Primes Aleksandr? I'm keen to see what footage shot with them looks like

there are little onions in the corners. But it really looks nice. We use it with the epic weapon on our gimbal and every customer just loves it. No one noticed or got mad cause of the breathing.

EDIT: controlling the EF version via RTMotion Lattitude

I do very little shooting. But next week, be sure to upload footage here

Been waiting for someone here to get these and post about them.

Have had the chance to see them projected, not on an actual camera.

They are very good. Very nice sharpness, very few aberrations, almost no flare even at T1.5. Each lens covers Full Frame 35 very easily.

The mechanics and build quality are very good too. They are very compact; even the wides are smaller and lighter than Ultra Primes.

Two drawbacks: focus rotates only 180º, which should be improved. And they breathe quite a bit.

 

[Alex Boothby]

The focus ring allocates more rotation from 5' to infinity than most lenses. This makes them much easier to focus than you would expect from a 180º barrel. I don't find this to be a problem. Re. breathing the 50-100 zoom is bad, but the primes are quite good imho. See tests on each lens here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-rPniJ0_SI or here: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Sigma+50mm+T1.5+Cine+Prime+-+Lens+Test+

I bought a PL set and am really impressed so far.

What the opinions of these compared to the CN-E?

Sharper. Character?

Thanks

There is new zooms coming. eg: SIGMA 24-35MM T2.2

I heard this was new glass rather than repurposed stills. Is there any info on the bump in quality over the current line up?
