This is the definition of an underrated channel. Videos are well done, tons of them, relaxing tonality, and no vlogging lol

Wow, what a performance. Wonderfully sharp lens, this looks like a great piece of kit.

Hi Chris, thank you very much for the fast reviews of both of Sigmas new lenses. Dont ever feel your reviews are boring and repetitive. They are! But in the best possible way! Thats the ONLY way for us consumers to get an idea how lenses are - if you can’t compare the, side by side. Speaking of side by side: Which is better for astro: Sigma 20mm DGDN or Sony 20mm G?

Looking forward to a Sigma 20 F1.4 Vs Sony 20 1.8 side by side comparison.

After months of looking at many different lenses in the 17-21mm range, I finally decided to order the Sigma 20mm f/2. Two hours before it was delivered I first heard rumors of this lens coming soon. Fortunately, I've been very happy with the f/2 so far, and I'm resisting the temptation to buy this. I don't need it, I don't need it...

Chris, how does this compare against my beloved sony 20mmG 1.8!? Need to know ASAP!

[albetmaulana]

One of my favorite lens, it produce different character than any other lens. Mine was mark 1 and cant wait to have this mkii

[alexmirza]

Fantastic flare and coma performance. Just the inevitable vignetting at f1.4 on full frame.

[xeroeddie]

Hope they update their 50mm 1.4 Art lens soon too.

I don't know if I should upgrade to this lens when I already have Sony 20mm f1.8 G..

[hasanrashid]

I bought this lens yesterday. Today it's not working. I switched from photo mode to video mode and the aperture closed to maximum i think f16 . Because the camera can't recognize the lens anymore. I am really so sad now. I bought it brand new. It's making motor sound 3 times every time i switch the camera on but nothing is changing. Yesterday everything was ok really. 😔

Amazing review of an amazing lens, thanks a lot Chris

I've adapted the DG HSM version onto my Nikon Z7II and I loved the results; once this lens is available on Nikon Z mount, it is definitely going to be my go-to ultra-wide lens. Fingers crossed it's coming soon!

[tankivulture]

In my opinion you should test every lens for coma, an example could be the Rokinon 135mm f2 since it's very famous amongst astrophotographers

[Thomas-fkep]

Wait. so what are the drawbacks of using the older 20mm f/1.4 art lens on something like a nikon mirrorless with an ftz adapter?

[blazerbarrel]

Nice review and a wonderful lens, thank you !

[Bayonet]

I was comparing this to the Sony 20mm f/1.8 in your review, and noticed that the test chart itself looks different, have you changed it recently?

[jtouch]

can you review old version emount and compare it with this ?

[auong]

Hi, How would you rate sharpness centre and corners of this Sigma vs VILTROX X mount 13mm equivalent 20mm please?

[shang-hsienyang]

The original 20mm f/1.4 has been my favorite. Should I upgrade to this?
