This is the first lens I’ve picked up for my R7, got it for $350 preowned, super happy with the combo so far

[TLDR_filmmaker]

That legendary Sigma 18-35 is still my favorite lens to this day, it lived on my GH5 and created awesome videos and films! It unfortunately doesn't see as much action now that I'm on Sony FF, but whenever I can I always find a reason to bring my Sigma with me for video :)

The only sad part is with everything moving over to mirrorless and less less mainstream lenses have the mechanical focus ring. If Sigma ever did create another beast of a lens like this for full frame it'll most likely have fly-by-wire focusing. Even if it is a linear focus algorithm it just doesn't feel magical haha.

Lovin' the content Geoff, keep em comin'!

[paulbeckmann]

Brilliant footage! Sigma 18-35 will make this a work horse for many around the galaxy and including myself when the Camera is available where I live:) Thanks again for the useful info!

[markshirley]

The VILTROX EF-R3 Speed Booster with the R7 is a very interesting combination. Stick it on your wide lens and use RF lenses for the telephoto end of the scale you have a unique combination

[vaskoobscura_]

This lens is a legend. The only thing is this lens was designed to work with DSLR cameras. Mirrorless is s a little different. How do you find the Sigma stacks up against let's say an Rf 15-35 in sharpness, focus speed and tracking?

[waisooncheah]

Thanks. Knowing that IBIS works on 18-35mm is a relief!

[DrewBloksberg]

I wasn't sure about the USB dock but if they're still pushing updates I think it's worth getting. Thank you for these videos, you're answering all my questions while I wait for my preorder to get here

[Mat_McD]

Hey been loving this content!

What do you think is sharper combo with the 18-35 — R7 4k60 (lineskipped) or the R6 4k60 in crop mode 🤨

We have an R6, but if the 4k60 on the r7 is not that great it really makes it hard to justify going for the r7 for weddings.

Sigma 18-35 mm is the legendry lens of all the time.

[FilmSpook]

👍🏾👍🏾Very Awesome, my Brother!! Many Thanks, excellent content.

[herbons]

I've use it but the lens become too long+heavy with the adapter..my zhiyun weebill S couldn't handle it 😅 any tips for solving the problem?

[atuljuikar]

Hi which adapter you used for this combination.

[AbdullahAlMamun-nppu]

I'm a beginner, and I want to buy my first camera, a Canon R7. Can anybody suggest which lens I should buy first?
Canon 18-150mm kit or Sigma 18-35mm

[TreasureCoastMultimedia]

Informative Vid, thx. When you mentioned you wouldn't use the Variable ND Filter for "Narrative", can you describe some situations where you would not use it? In certain specific lighting situations? IE - interior Interviews? B-Roll? Looking at the various Variable ND Adapters, which looks to be great, do you get the color shift when using the clear filter also? I'm specifically looking at the Meike, which costs about $400 less than the canon, seems to be getting good reviews.

[saladin_r]

Kills me that they never re released this lens for Sony e-mount after discontinuing the a-mount. Lucky Canon

[zian]

hello sir, will this lens work well with canon 200d mark ii or sl3??

[flippflopps]

I’ve got the 18-35 and recently got the 17-55. I’ll be selling the Sigma. The Canon is so much better in every way apart from losing out on the 1.8

[אלוןאנגל-הש]

I think they might will create an RF version of this last

[mb-watches]

Have used it on my R7. For product shots it’s great but autofocus is not so good with the sigma which is an issue of the lens, not the camera.
Would love to see a 10-22 f2 or f2, 8 for the R7.
The 18-35 is a lil bit to close sometimes, that said it’s still my workhorse for my vids but more there for B-Roll

[ImSilverLau]

Will the Canon RF 35mm f1.8 lens has better photo and video quality compare to the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 lens in the 35mm focal length? Maybe the RF lens faster and smoother in focusing as the camera and the lens are compatible? Not sure bout that, wish to get yours and others' opinions.
