Allison McLaughlinGUEST
This is built specifically for APS-C E-mount bodies like the A6600, or you can even do like a 100mm.
Allison McLaughlinGUEST
from Sigma.
Allison McLaughlinGUEST
It's just a fantastic starter.
Allison McLaughlinGUEST
It gives that small crop factor reach, but also just from the experience I've had with it, I got to test a few.
Stephen EckertHOST
So we had-
Jared PolinHOST
And the Sigma
Stephen EckertHOST
...
Stephen EckertHOST
the Sigma 85 1.2. By the way, this all came right off the heels of, like, finishing and finalizing Fro Pack 5, so I was still kind of finishing that up, and we were prepping to do the promo assets for that while all this kinda fell on us.
Jared PolinHOST
Well, we also wanted to get that out.
Stephen EckertHOST
Actually, it's great that we had these embargo videos to promote Fro Pack 5, for sure.
35 MINS LATER
Jared PolinHOST
Let's move on to some of the other gear.
Jared PolinHOST
What, what else do we have, Steven?
Chris NiccollsHOST
Speaking of old Japanese companies in the photographic industry.
Jaron SchneiderHOST
Yeah, Sigma is turning 65.
Jaron SchneiderHOST
Oh, and by that I mean they turned 65 on September 9th.
Jaron SchneiderHOST
So
Chris NiccollsHOST
now they get discounts at local family restaurants.
Jaron SchneiderHOST
I think what I found, the one thing I want to ask you guys, I don't know if you pay attention to what happens on the interwebs all that closely, but the interwebs, you like that? I feel like an old man.
Jaron SchneiderHOST
There was a conversation, like this rumor that Sigma was going to do a 65 millimeter F1 as a celebration of their 65th anniversary.
Jaron SchneiderHOST
When I saw those, I was like laughing at them.
James ArteusHOST
Stuff that I think you're going to be into.
James ArteusHOST
So on the show this week, we have a couple of new Sigma lenses, including one that's got a world first attached to it.
James ArteusHOST
Yeah, yeah.
James ArteusHOST
So we always like that sort of thing.
Chris GeorgeHOST
Yes, let's go one that was, because we've had a development announcement about this lens.
James ArteusHOST
We did at CP Plus in Japan in February, which I was lucky enough to be at.
James ArteusHOST
The Sigma 85mm f1.2, which is this guy, which actually we were both surprised.
James ArteusHOST
Sigma hasn't made an 85mm f1.2 until this point.
Greg CromieHOST
Um, great creative lens for a whole range of different stuff and, uh, and you've got that amazing Sony glass quality, but it comes at a price.
Greg CromieHOST
Um, what else is going on in the Sony camp? Sigma have announced a 85 millimeter F1.2 and a 20 to 60 millimeter, uh, FE lenses for Sony E-mount.
Greg CromieHOST
Um, the 85 1.2 is a DG Art series lens, uh, and by all accounts that is, uh, expected to be an incredible third-party offering once again-
Justin CastlesHOST
Yeah
Greg CromieHOST
... from the folks at Sigma.
Justin CastlesHOST
A lot of people are excited about that one 'cause that's something that Canon's had up its sleeve for a while, and Sony-
Greg CromieHOST
Yeah
Greg CromieHOST
I don't know if the 20 to 60 has actually appeared on B&H yet.
Steve VaughanHOST
But to start with, there's been a few product announcements over the last week.
Steve VaughanHOST
So the first thing that caught my eye, and I know it caught your eye, Nick, as well, is the Sigma 8512, which is available in Sony E and the L-Mount Alliance fittings.
Steve VaughanHOST
So are you going to buy one?
Nick ChurchHOST
I am tempted.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
Yeah.
Nick ChurchHOST
at half stop isn't it so that's you know that's an extra half an hour or so isn't it at the end of the day if you're using that aperture purely to let you know to avoid using the flash
Steve VaughanHOST
yeah yeah no I mean interesting to play one I certainly wouldn't be buying one the lens I did catch why actually was a lot less well sophisticated in many ways although interesting still and that's another Sigma lens and it's a 20 to 60 zoom and it goes f2.8 to f4 at the longer end and it seems a very small lens and looks like a great lens for street it's not in their art series it's a contemporary series so it's in theory not as good optically It looks really neat, small, portable little lens that you can stick on something like an A7C2 and make a great street combo.
Steve VaughanHOST
And I've got my eye on it because as we exit the weddings and I'm thinking about what do I want for me, I don't want to carry around massive lumps of glass if I'm walking around London all day or something.
Jared PolinHOST
So quote, most of us don't need... fast zoom lenses anymore, especially when modern cameras can compensate so easily for that loss of light, especially when you consider the trade off is you can get something that is way smaller and lighter, has a way better zoom range and is more affordable.
Jared PolinHOST
So that's a quote that came from a Chris Nichols video about the 20, the Sigma 20 millimeter to 60, 2.8 to F4.
Jared PolinHOST
I haven't used the lens yet.
Jared PolinHOST
I have it here.
22 MINS LATER
Jared PolinHOST
STM 20 is a thousand bucks.
Jared PolinHOST
So around a thousand bucks for that.
Jared PolinHOST
So it's not much more than the 20 to 60 Sigma, but 20 to 60 is obviously much wider than 28 to 20 is huge compared to that.
Jared PolinHOST
But just showing you there's different options out there.
Sharky JamesHOST
Fujifilm's new telephoto wows.
Sharky JamesHOST
Sigma's 85 will surely be a classic.
Sharky JamesHOST
Sony finally releases a fisheye.
Sharky JamesHOST
This 20 to 60 will be helpful.
10 MINS LATER
Sharky JamesHOST
And as we know, Tamron OEMs lenses for camera companies.
Sharky JamesHOST
So there you go.
Sharky JamesHOST
If it's good enough for the camera companies, it should be good enough for you, right? Anyhow, Japan based third party lens maker Sigma has just announced a new prime that's going to excite portrait photographers, especially their new 85 millimeter F 1.2 DG art series lens.
Sharky JamesHOST
A lens that promises great image quality in a pretty compact,
Jordan DrakeHOST
which they have an outstanding lens that's actually very well video optimized already, the S series 50mm 1.8. And then they have that whole series of really good one HD 85, um, the 20 millimeter.
Jordan DrakeHOST
So they could rehouse those for sure and do something similar to what we've seen Sigma and Fuji do.
Jordan DrakeHOST
Um, but I also wonder if this means there's a T 1.9 zoom in the works and I mean, it's not unprecedented.
Jordan DrakeHOST
We are being filmed on a 28 to 45 T2 right now, uh, which is an F 1.8 lens.
Jaron SchneiderHOST
another two years i don't think no so
Chris NiccollsHOST
but you cannot get this glass uh anytime soon but there are lenses coming out right now unfortunately not for nikon z mount but we did get a chance to play with one like this might be one of the almost perfect lenses near perfect lenses that i've used in a long time And it's interesting that it is so good because it's also quite extreme.
Chris NiccollsHOST
This is the brand new Sigma 85mm f1.2 DG full frame for Sony E mount and L mount.
Chris NiccollsHOST
And those are the mounts that really needed this.
Tanner HaverGUEST
Use what you have and use what you can and upgrade from there.
Tanner HaverGUEST
I use a Sigma 60-600 and the 150-600 at times, amongst other lenses, but that's my primary lens I rock with.
Tanner HaverGUEST
We call it the poor man's CN20.
Tanner HaverGUEST
It's a great lens.
