Sigma 18-35 VS Nikon 17-55

#sigma1835 #nikon1755 #nikon In this review I am discussing the benefits and drawbacks between the Sigma 18-35mm /1.8 and Nikon (Nikkor) 17-55mm f/2.8 with some side by side sample footage. In my opinion they are some of the best zoom lenses you can get for a crop sensor cameras especially for filmmaking for that price. I am using them on my Blackmagic cameras (this entire review was shot on the BMPCC6K). It's a real toss up to be honest. The Nikon 17-55 is a lot more versatile but the Sigma 18-35 is technically a little bit more advanced and more compatible with the Canon mount cameras. In reality they are both excellent and you can't go wrong with either one. It will come down to your personal use case scenario. For me - Sigma 18-35 wins (for now). I will give it a good run to see if it can dethrone the Nikon 17-55 aka The Best Crop Lens (for the money) on the market 😎 My Youtube Gear: Cameras: BMPCC6K, BMPCC4K, BMPCC6K Pro Lenses: Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8, Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8, Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro IS, Nikon 35mm F/2, Tokina 11-20mm F/2.8 Mics: Sennheiser MKH416, Rode Lav Mic Go Sound Recorders: Zoom F3, Zoom H1n, Zoom H5 Favourite NLE: DaVinci Resolve Studio . ************************************************ Gear I use / recommend: Cameras: Panasonic S52x Panasonic S5 Panasonic GH6 Sony a74 Sony a7s3 Blackmagic BMPCC6K Blackmagic BMPCC4K Lenses: Spherical: Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro Sigma 40mm f/1.4 Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Sigma 20mm f/1.4 Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Sport & Contemporary Panasonic 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 Nikon-17-55mm f/2.8 Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 Zeiss Jena Vintage Set Laowa 100mm 2xMacro Laowa 15mm f/4 Macro Anamorphic: Sirui Mars 24mm T2.9 Sirui Mars 35mm T2 Sirui Mars 50mm T2 Sirui Mars 75mm T2 Microphones: Sennheiser MKH416 AudioTechnika BP4025 MicBooster Clippies Rode NT1 Shure SM7B Field Recorders: Zoom F3 Zoom F6 Zoom H1n Headphones / Speakers for Mastering: Beyerdynamic Dt990Pro Beyerdynamic Dt770Pro Personus Eris E5 Adam Audio A7X Studio Lights: Amaran 60X Amaran 100X Bi-Color COB LED Various Rechargeable LED Video Pocket Lights Workstations / Laptops: Mac Mini M2 MacBook Pro M2Pro MacBook Air M2 Photo / Video Editing Monitor: BenQ PD2700U Recommended Accessories: PolarPro VND Peter McKinnon Promise filter National Geographic Carbon Fibre Tripod Innorel RT90C Carbon Fibre Tripod Innorel N52 Ball Head Manfrotto 504X Fluid Head DF DIGITALFOTO Micolive Blimp with Dead Cat Anker Battery Bank Scarlet 212 2i2 Elgato HDMI to USB Dongle Calibrite ColorChecker Mogami Cables ************************************************
