Sigma 105mm f1.4 the bokeh master is the official name of this lens. I own it and the front glass is so big that I never use the lens without the lens hood.
Have you tried back button focus? Avoids focusing on half press and you can set your focus and not worry about it for doing several shots at same distance.
I am with you on the sharpness, never tried this one, but I have used various ART lenses from Sigma, the 85mm 1.4 also has this sharpness. I personally now own 2 Sigma ART zoom lenses, the 24-35mm F2 and the 24-105mm F4 and both are sharper than most other zoom lenses I tried. And even better, the 24-105 is actually quite affordable for the range you get.
bro i need your help please can you tell me what are your go pro setting and 2nd thing when u export your youtube video from premiere pro how u get a crystal clear quality . please help me
another great video. Ive been struggling to find the time to get out and shoot but this video really inspired me to get off my butt as well as seeing you using this focal length really makes me feel good about the fact that I enjoy using an 85 1.4 for street. Thank you for the great content and have a Merry Christmas brother.
Love the shots!! I tried to get so many similar ones while I was there but failed the majority of the time. It was the first time I've really felt the need for a full frame camera. Luckily night shooting isn't what I do a lot of but still making me rethink the need to go FF. Even though we couldn't hook up while I was there thank you for all your inspiration that you've given me.
@Opticalwander I think it’s your very copy of the lens. I own one myself for Nikon F and it works really great though I bought it second hand. Btw I absolutely love the way Sigma Art lenses render skin tones Do you already get the replacement? How does that hold up? Greetings from Germany!
i bought this lens a while ago and took it out for a test shoot on the streets and just wow and i mean WOW . as you say sharp as a knife edge . to say i totally love this lens is an under statement . ok its mahoosive lol but man its so worth it . would i say buy or hire it YES for sure as you guys will not regret it . ok you are as discrete as a boil on the arse of mankind walking around with it lol but that has up sides as you look like a pro and people dont think you are a dodgy snapper lol . i shoot using the canon R5 and it works brilliant with it . hope you got your lens sorted as iv had no problems with mine at all .
haha! i thought it was just me. i was wondering for a sec because i know that this is your vid but the name is not opticalwonder. i scrolled through the creators i'm subscribed and noticed that you really did change your name here 😅 anyway, great video as always 👌
Yep it’s me 😂👋🏼 the @ is still opticalwander just the name on the channel is changed. I think it makes it a little more personal + I’ll keep opticalwander as the brand name 🙏🏼
@@Opticalwander thanks, I thought you would have seen the guy because you usually take though’s kind of shots But I was I like, “the smoker, the smoker. Do you not see the smoker?” 😂🤣
yeah, don't buy used, get the 5 year extended warranty :P This lens, a 50/1.2 and a 24/1.4, a great street setup- and be prepared to buy some lenses in HK, amazing selection and prices
What is it about the wide angle you don’t like? Has a few people over the last month or so mention this so wondering what exactly about it, isn’t nice to watch 🙏🏼
its that weird too wide field of view. It's almost like im getting dizzy watching it cos of the distorsion. It just doesn't look natural to me. @@Opticalwander
I agree! It’s definitely a benefit! Whenever I use anything from 28mm to 55mm etc I feel like it becomes really intimate and can be daunting sometimes .
Had the lens before and sold it (for different reasons....such as its massive size and weight which ultimately made me leave it on my bag at home), even if you are far away it's the bloody eye of sauron, you will always get noticed with such massive piece of optic. As a studio lens it's incredible and for outdoor portraits.

I'm amazed how sharp you were able to get moving subjects in the dark. Some great photos shown, nice work!
Have you tried back button focus? Avoids focusing on half press and you can set your focus and not worry about it for doing several shots at same distance.
I have a question: Is it possible to continue using the lens manually after it has broken?
It wouldn’t hold focus even manually focusing, I believe some how the aperture rings had moved or the focusing mechanism had completely failed.
@@Opticalwander Thanks!

Are the photos you are showing raw or are they post production?
hi nice work . the pictures on alpha 7 iv or 7r v ?
Please did your photos in the video are editing or just directly from the camera ? ❤️
very edited
you’re using a7r yea?
Yes 🫡 A7RV 🙏🏼
Class shots as always! Anyone know why what I think should be white appears to be a light blue in the video?
Incredible content as always ! So inspiring !
These pictures and your eye to see things and moments are stuning!
Keep up your work! Every video from you is Pure entertainment!❤
Editing preset?
The kens shouldnt be effected by the cold they should be optimal to a certain temp

This is a dji Osmo action 4 that I use, I shoot in 4k 50p and edit on a 4k 24p timeline on Final Cut Pro, I export at 4k 24p h264.
@@Opticalwander ohh thanks brroooo
Definitely looks like a fun lens!!! Look forward to another one if everything works out 💪

That lens is the muts, what focus settings are you using? 🤔
Wide focus area or single spot focus are the two I normally use 🙏🏼
@@Opticalwander cheers, appreciate it! 🙌 keep up the great content. Very inspirational.
amazing pictures.... looks like you gonna make me buy this lens soon lol

Sorry I didn’t get around to linking with you!
Tbh I saw a big change when I upgraded to FF so maybe it’s something you can consider in the future 🙏🏼
It's not the lens, it's the camera. No issues with my F-mount Sigma 105mm f/1.4 attached to my Nikon D850 and Z9 with FTZ2 adapter.
It’s not the camera 😂 I’ve tried the lens on other bodies. It’s the lens and sigma have agreed. So pretty sure it’s the sigma lens that’s broke.
@@Opticalwander I was going to buy this lens in January; But now I'm going to give up. 😂

@@Opticalwander yesss agree when you said it makes it feel more personal. now everyone knows that you are sam, the optical wander 😅
What a crazy good lens, hopefully the issue was a one off thing. Sigma make great products.
6:50 you missed that guy smoking, could have been a cool picture with an edit! 😀
I love comments like this because even though I’m really present and observant I still miss opportunities and I didn’t even see this! Good spot ❤
@@Opticalwander thanks, I thought you would have seen the guy because you usually take though’s kind of shots But I was I like, “the smoker, the smoker. Do you not see the smoker?” 😂🤣
Also, thanks for replying! Love the videos as well! 😊❤️
Try the 135 GM.
I thought i saw Mourinho driving a cab at 2:13 😆
I thought the exact same thing 😂

I kinda dont like this wide angle POV, it just looks weird. But this Prime is nice!

Puhhh ajarin dong puhh sepuh 👍, like from Indonesia 🇲🇨
Are people not mad at you sometimes or speak you on photographing them randomly?😅
I’ve never had any issues in This regard 🙏🏼
one of the best lens
100% agree!!
Awesome night phone capture (^_^)v
1 thing i like with this lens is that you can capture moments far away. For shy people
I agree! It’s definitely a benefit!
