I just got to save my 60 ml f 1.4 I already have the Rokinon F to both the
sony e-mount let's compare first off thanks for watching today I do
appreciate it how many more this channel hit that subscribe button down below I
would appreciate it and on to the video
so first off initial impressions with this lens as with every other review it
feels and it works and handles amazingly feel quality is fantastic much like on a
Sigma 30mm F 1.4 apart from this one you have a much bigger focus ring and a
focus ring works which is a huge deal the lens mount is obviously metal rest
of the lens is brushed metal and plastic very good build quality that is a
beautiful beautiful lens look at the front look at the black text black on
black oh yeah manual focus ring that works if
anybody had the Sigma 30mm F 1.4 they would know that the focus ring although
it does focus it is awful focus by wire on these lenses this one works great the
Sigma 30mm 1.4 not so much 1.4 bokeh is as you would expect buttery buttery
smooth 1.4 is really really wide for an f-stop and as you can imagine it looks
beautiful here's some stuff with the F 1.4 now
now to compare these two first our sigma comes box like this and the broken one
comes boxed like this the lens is on inside don't worry
this is obviously a 12 mil lens and this is a 16 mil lens only four mil a
difference doesn't sound like a lot but actually it's quite substantial here's
an example of a 12 and a 16
and now side by side
here's some other test idea for some photos
it's actually quite significant as you can see here is an order focus test with
the Sigma
yeah it's quick it's just as quick as a Sony native lens and here's an autofocus
test for the orokin ah me I'm just kidding it doesn't have all the focus
absol that is the main difference between these two lenses so obviously
the big deal here that this one has autofocus this one does not have
autofocus when I first got this lens I was really impressed with it manual
focus wasn't a big deal for me I kind of put some little marks on it to show
where my focus points were and I dealt with it but it started to become a
problem I wanted something that was a run-and-gun
I needed basically autofocus I wanted to be able to put on a gimbal and not have
to worry about focusing as I'm kind of wiggling and moving the gimbal around so
that's why this guy stepped in the autofocus is just as quick as a Sony
Nate event and I need now honestly I have a few other Sony lenses the main
one I use is the 85 mil the f-18 the newer version and it's just as quick as
that honestly low light difference so this is an f2 this goes down to a
beautiful F 1.4 doesn't sound like a lot of difference but I want to show you
what that difference would actually be in exactly the same lighting situation
so it doesn't sound like a lot of difference but as you can see it clearly
is lower f-stop 1.4 versus the to this being much better in the light lens so
bill quality these guys they're both very well-built probably the Sigma is a
little bit well built than the rope'n and although this is made out of I think
it's made out of metal but it's not it's a really well made plastic both very
well-built this is a lot heavier both of very smooth focus rings I would say the
focus ring on this is actually a little bit smoother a little bit Pharma which I
kind of like this is loose some people may prefer and I prefer the focus ring
on this so obviously very different in size here's a comparison in size so you
can see
and yeah the weight so if you are putting this on a gimbal you are gonna
need to balance it differently quite substantially this comes in at 405 grams
and this comes in at 245 grams so about 200 grams difference for this guy and
you can definitely feel the weight increase for me the heavier the lens the
more sturdy it kind of feels anyway price of the lens so they are different
in price the Rokinon is three hundred and twenty four dollars on B&H right now
which is us pricing this is four hundred and forty nine dollars on bnh right now
can get the Sam young version of this as well which is pretty much identically
the same lens just differently branded this one than being a hundred and twenty
dollars more is it worth it well in my opinion for the autofocus for the reason
I needed that 100% yes what a focus for one hundred and twenty dollars yes
please big difference for not a lot cost so my conclusion for having this versus
this few mil of difference in the focal length for the cost and for the fact
that it is auto focus this will be the lens that I would go for hundred percent
for videos like this for running gun in for stabilizer I can use this with so
much more this will work for the same purposes but I have to manual focus -
you may be wowed by it to begin with but the annoyance of not having autofocus
might start to kick in shortly and you'll end up selling this thanks for
watching today I appreciate it if you liked this video hit that like down
