28mm primes have been out of fashion for about 30 years. My understanding is that its difficult to make a fast 28mm. However, 28 is where I stated as a newspaper photographer, as it was the standard newsshooters choice, followed by a 50, that was the kit. I still prefer 28 over 24 or 35 because its what i call 'intimate wide angle'. This the bridge point between standard (no distortion) and wide(with distortion). This Sigma, is a great looking lens and I will aim to get one and a 40.
Thanks for the great explanation for the 28mm focal length. I assume your thoughts were based on the full-frame sensor, right? Would you also share your thought on the 40mm focal length?
I would love to see a test like this done for the new Sigma Classic Cine lenses. This test is what made me interested in the Sigma line to begin with; you did an incredible job showcasing these lenses!
^ THIS!! From what I've seen the Classics flare light a b%&$ and naturally you lose a bit of light transmission due to elements not being coated, but they look amazing. The only downside I see is they're sold as a full kit only and I can see this being a pain as I wouldn't want to use them all the time due to the flaring being so intense.
@@Adam_Griffith I was really into the classics when they were first announced, but I'm starting to think they might be a better option to rent than buy. You can get a semi-vintage look with a mist/halation filter and some vignette in post, while with the classics the veiling glare is baked in and would make shooting against a window nearly impossible. Still, I'm interested to see how they'd perform in a test like this!
Great test Phil. Thanks for putting this together. For those who might not need the full set, this really helps identify which if any lenses are the right ones to own. Mahalo!
Amazing lens test. Shot looks awesome, great colors, looks so good. Lenses look really nice. Sharp and clean but with character. Focus breathing not great but otherwise stellar.
This should be called "2 girls and a flashlight." What I'm truly astonished is the fact the 28mm lens caught my attention before I read the comment section.
The image looks amazing. Great colors saturation, contrast, and separation from subject to background. Is this right out of camera? Did you do much adjustments in post? Rec 709 or 2020?
Thank you very much for this. Monstro looks beautiful with these lenses. The 20mm bokeh looked a little busy and unpleasant. I have a sigma 20mm f1.4 lens with the same problem. The location is excellent as well, loved the 14mm wide angel of the whole room.
@@83442handle You're absolutely right! I was thinking S35, not 35mm. My bad! phfx.com/tools/formatCompare/formatCompare_NEW.cgi?makeA=RED&modelA=Monstro+8K+VV&formatA=8K+FF&makeB=Canon&modelB=C300+MK+II&formatB=4K&focalLengths=14
Hi Phil, this is a great test. Thank you for sharing! I have two questions: 1. The color of this video looks amazing. Did you follow a particular post color workflow? If yes, mind sharing your process? 2. Is there no vignetting with these lenses on VV or did you crop in a bit? I know these are FF, that's why I'm asking.
14mm, 28mm 85mm & 135mm suficientes para cubrir todo. Gran trabajo y muchas gracias por compartir este agradable video con lindas chicas. Sigan adelante!
Awesome test! Had a question on the grade, was this fully graded, simple rec709 or other LUT, etc? Just trying to see how much is the lens and camera, and how much is the grade. thanks!
Isn't that a general quality of wide vs. telephoto lenses? feels like that to me... could be the result of looking through more atmosphere (when you maintain the shot size by altering camera position, the latter half of the video)?
@@DaCarnival It really jumps when you go from 50mm to 85mm. Not sure why. That always makes me say "Ahhhhhh" when i put my 85 on. It just has a nice feel. My favorites are the 20, 28, 40, 85 and 105.
@@Tcivan Well if you think about it, it's the single biggest jump throughout the lineup, the next biggest jump is 30mm from the 105 to the 135. At the wide end, the biggest visible difference is 11mm from the 24 to the 35.
Would you say it’s the lighting that imparts the saturation and depth I see in the image or is it a combination of post work and the aforementioned? I ask because I sometimes see footage from Arri that looks faded and not as color rich as this. I also sometimes see footage from way less expensive cinema cameras and mirrorless cameras with this type of richness in the image. Could someone with knowledge on this chime in please?
I decided to invest in tokina Cine vv set instead as this are sigma art photo glasses rehoused... so I can buy whole set for the equivalent price of one cine version thx for the test Phil I was already sold when I saw you previous shoot out at douclos
Very good test, I'm also very scared about the distortions and darkness on the corners of those lenses, even in the 40, 50 and 85... they breath in a strange way, it's a expensive lens for these kind of problems
Look at most of the classic movies - Casino, for example. Amazing cinematography, totally obvious focus breathing in just about every focus racking shot.
This was so awesome, so well executed! Love the perspective comparison
The best video I have ever seen for a comparison in mm. Sooo realxing too
Totaly agree
It's because the actresses are good looking xDDDD
Thanks for producing quality tests and uploading them to youtube! you are a legend!
Thank you for taking the time to upload this. These lenses are ridiculously sharp. My god! Beautifully color balanced too.
I keep watching this.... Over and Over!🤗

I completely agree. 28mm is the single most useful lens to do it all. Plan on picking up a 40 as well.
@@kilikdudley the 28,40 and 105 have more glass inside vs the other sigma cine lenses right ?
@@creativegreats6924 Yes, I've heard that, too. 3 best from sigma imo

This test is uber beautiful and very enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing.
Thankyou for this, great lens test. The different distances and even having a nice location colours and models make a difference. 👏🏽

phenomenal test for real world usage!
Love how relaxing this was 😎
Finally i found a video reviewing as it should
This should be called "2 girls and a flashlight." What I'm truly astonished is the fact the 28mm lens caught my attention before I read the comment section.
The Bokeh of 40mm and 105mm amazing!!
Fantastic job! Thank you so much!!!

Beautiful. I'm sold on these lens.
Awesome comparison! Thanks man!
Thanks Phil for your Outstanding work
Great test. Would love to see a comparison with the Sigma Cine zooms.
this was SO helpful! thanks
Sierra Love 👌..... yeah, keep that one around for sure!
Sigma should hire you man! After watching this I am very close to trading my organs for these lenses:D
Who knew that a hardbound operation manual for a flashlight would be such a fascinating read?
nice but ...T1.4? i just see T 1.5 on the web, what model exactly are we talking about here? thank you
I was wondering the same thing
85mm 🤤😍
6:15 The 14mm seemed to have more distortion than I was expecting up close. I guess that is more of a 12mm field of view in 35mm world.
More like a 9mm ;)
@@tjsessler I was talking 35mm full frame so doing the match it would be 13mm and even wider than 9mm for super 35mm www.red.com/crop-factor

You sir are a talented man👍
My pick would be 24mm and 28mm that has both bokeh and wide perspective of the scene. But can't resist that 50 f1.4 tho. XD
I agree 100%!
God that 28 was like a painting, just wow, i remebered why they cost that much
thank you so much for your content here.
Hi Philli... Red monstrous vs Sony 6k... All rounder which camera will get maximum points...
Monstro still has a small edge and the benefit of being able to finish in 8K.
Thanks for the test Phil, what are your thoughts on the sigma cine zooms.
Hi Phil, this is a great test. Thank you for sharing! I have two questions:

2. Is there no vignetting with these lenses on VV or did you crop in a bit? I know these are FF, that's why I'm asking.
No crop. Graded with one of my philmColor LUTs. Specifically "phoenix".
@@phfx thank you so much! I know what I’m buying later today.
14mm, 28mm 85mm & 135mm suficientes para cubrir todo. Gran trabajo y muchas gracias por compartir este agradable video con lindas chicas. Sigan adelante!

Everything about this video is prettttyyyy
One thing I realised from this 50mm for video is quite tight!
It is interesting to see the 85, 105, 135mm with less contrast at wide open when compared to the shorter lenses
Isn't that a general quality of wide vs. telephoto lenses? feels like that to me... could be the result of looking through more atmosphere (when you maintain the shot size by altering camera position, the latter half of the video)?

Did you do a lot of grading in post, or is it straight out of the camera?
I love how sigmas contain direct light instead of a blurry, milky mess 😊
Would you say it’s the lighting that imparts the saturation and depth I see in the image or is it a combination of post work and the aforementioned?

Hi will you advice buying the Sigma 18-35mm and 50-100mm Lenses. ? thanks
Words nicely on S35. 18-35 is really hard to beat.
Amazing picture
How much is all that lens?
how is the breathing in you opinion?
How far was the subject from sensor?
I decided to invest in tokina Cine vv set instead as this are sigma art photo glasses rehoused... so I can buy whole set for the equivalent price of one cine version thx for the test Phil I was already sold when I saw you previous shoot out at douclos

Which lenses do you like? The cp3 ? The cp3 is not as fast or light weight though
REALLY Nice Video THANKS
But can I please have a sigma cine prime full frame 65mm?
You and me both brother....
quality unreel
some pretty heavy breathing on that 14mm
Whos focus pulling on a 14mm
@@traviswood2853 good point. haha
Amazing.
amazing. trying to get away with buying only 2 lenses (35 + 85), but so tempted after watching this to get 3 (24 + 50 + 85) hmmmm
wow am impressed.
its nice shoot and good quality and detail but the 24 lens have rainbow reflections
The brunette definitely could work as a lighthouse keeper.
Great vid. really clean. A bit too much breathing for me
thanks alot
Stop flashing that light in my face!
35mm for every use ;-)
Thank You!
That focus breathing on them is horrendous... Look nice otherwise
Look at most of the classic movies - Casino, for example. Amazing cinematography, totally obvious focus breathing in just about every focus racking shot.
@@storiesofbike 👍
Beautiful shots, but its a shame how much these breathe for cinema primes!
Just came here for the Grils
Refulgent demonstration.
