Hey, I just bought a S5II with Sigma 24-70 f2.8 II. While checking the settings, if i set exposure mode to M and turn the aperture dial, am getting rattling sound. Is it am issue or how to fix this. In P mode that noise is not there. Also, in P mode i hear that type of sound if i zoom in ir out the kens. Any thoughts? Appreciate any help here.
Rattling doesn't sound good regardless of what your settings are... I would update both your lens and body firmware first, maybe do a reset and then try again. Good luck!
I have been loving shooting weddings with my 24-105 f4, but I need to pick a prime lens for exactly your reasons. I can't decide between 35 and 50. Why do you opt for the 35?
I find the 35ish comfortable in terms of positioning and framing. It's wide enough uncropped for me and can get plenty tight when I crop. A 50 would feel too tight on the wide and I imagine I'd have to really work to frame up in a hotel or smaller bedroom or something like that. I think anyway!
I'd feel comfortable at a sale price... totally a mental game for me but ya, if I saw the 28-105 at 200ish off, I'd do it. That or if I opted to not pickup a 'low light' lens and depending on how I felt about IOS cranking for low light, the F2.8 could still work.
Thanks, Lyndon. Can I ask what sort of lighting you use for speeches? Are you using a fresnel? There are some small(ish) lights by Zhiyun and Godox (and probably others) that look promising, but I am not sure how well they work with modifiers. Anyway, thanks agin for the video.
I used a set of Apurture LS60X. I got them before the launch of all the smaller cob LEDs. The godox lights look good! I wish my lights were smaller but they do have a focusing element built in for spot lighting. You can't go wrong with any you mentioned but the accessories and power options should be your deciding factor.
Wonder why you call yourself a hobbyist wedding videographer? Do you feel like you have imposter syndrome? Cause honestly there’s not much difference between you and a “pro” if at all.
It's mainly because it is a hobby! I book less than a handful a year, only as much as I have time for. This hobby does have the privilege of making some income but even taking that into account, it's not enough to even qualify as a side hustle... it does buy a lens or body every now and then though!
The hypocrisy of shooting most of this with F1.8 and 1.2 is not lost on me.
The Lumix 24-105 also has IS making it a great lens for hand held shooting on the wedding day. I like to swap between that one and the Sigma 28-70.
Totally forgot about the IS. Great point!

The ghost of MFT has come to haunt you. A GH7 will follow you in your dreams for the rest pf your days.
what do u think of the 28-105 2.8 instead of the 24-105 F4 ?
