The other option is use speedbooster xl 0.64x with any ef mount 24-70 f2.8. After conversion, you got a full frame equiv of 31-90mm f1.8. That also pretty cool.

For the Lumix GH5 do I need an adapter for the Canon Sigma 18-35 work???

[Jerzey]

I actually just brought my GH5 yesterday and this was JUST the video I needed!

What should IBIS focal length should be set at?

If lens is set at 18mm (with manual adapter)

A) 18mm
B) 36 mm
C) whatever correction after the manual adapter ?

4th cons: it's heavy as hell
5th cons: it's not weather sealed
6th cons: obviously it doesn't support dual IS
This combo shines at low light conditions, perfect at studio work, but I'd prefer Lumix 12-35 2.8 when traveling and run-n-gun shooting.

Question. What video settings do you think benefit the best from this lens? I got this lens to support shooting video as it handles clarity and color saturation much better than any of my Nikkor lenses. I have a D500, so it is the cream of the crop of cropped sensor cameras. I want to shoot video that has a truly cinematic feel. I have been shooting some test footage at 1080 @ 24 FPS. The D500 will shoot 4K as well. Again, what video setting do you think benefits this particular lens?

I’m trying to find a used sigma 18-35, and i know I’ll need to get a speedbooster or adapter, but i keep finding the Nikon mount ones for cheaper. Why is this the case? Also, if I get the Nikon mount sigma, I’ll have to get a Nikon-MFT specific speedbooster/adapter? Someone please help me out! I’ve been looking this up for ever and can’t seem to find anything on the topic

[tedz]

that actual lens works on the GH5 without the speed booster? didnt know that can u leave a link to that lens... or u miss quoted?? thanks

[Random-yzgb]

Do you recommend to get the sigma 16mm f1.4 and lumix 25mm f1.7 instead of this? I can't decide as it's also way cheaper like this

[t-bobricemusic]

I have a Sony sigma A Mount I can't find anything to work whit it like a adapter

[MARZACpro]

This lens changed my life, quite literally.

[akosijhep]

never too late to make review about gh5 and the 18 35 combo.great video bro

[r.m.v.pstudios]

Viltrox works just like the speedboster and is less expensive.

[WhosJohn]

Just got this setup but for my G85 and i love it but my auto focus is wonky. Can you make some videos on how to fix that with this lense setup? I get this wild noise and it’s just erratic at times. Otherwise it’s amazing lol. G85, Metabones .71, Sigma 18-35

[TJohnsoni]

I've had for a few years now, got it on craigslist $300, used it on my Nikon D7200, great pictures. About to put it on my GH4 with Metabones speed booster So Hopefully it will also have great pics

I use the sigma 18-35mm F1.8 + 0.71X Viltrox EF-M2 mkii on Oly em5 mkii. It turns the sigma into 13-25mmF1.2. The AF is as quick as the native M43 lenses. I checked that this sigma lens uses contrast detection for AF which suits the camera using CDAF like M43 cameras. Those camera using phase detection may struggle in AF.

[jakub_kittler]

Are you using the Ronin gimbal? How is it holding up with the weight of the lens?

[JoshBatalibasi]

Have been using this lens for years too ! Absolute gold. Only thing is used it so much the rubber is worn out now lol... but great lens and never had an issue 👌

[СергейНиколаев-шц]

Hello. You are using a Panasonic Lumix GH camera and a Sigma AF 18-35mm lens with a Viltrox EF-M1 adapter. If you focus on the subject, and change the focal length of the lens (18 - 35 or 35 - 18). Does the subject remain sharp? The sharpness disappears on my camera, and I need to focus a second time. When using a Panasonic 12 -38, 2.8 lens, there is no such effect. I change the focal length and the subject is constantly in focus. What do you think is the cause of the effect with Sigma AF 18-35mm.

Hey Connor. Just like you I had my droughts but after seeing your video I decided to get one and it has finally arrived. At this stage I have an issue. Seems like the electronics are not working. Cant managed to see my aperture settings and the AF although I would never use it does not even work. My metabones adaptor works just fine. Do you know what the issue could be? maybe a firmware update is needed? Thanks for ant feedback.
