Moonlit Night – A Sigma 20mm Art Lens Review from cinema5D on Vimeo.
If the Loxia 21mm f/2.8 isn’t fast enough for you than well try this brand new Sigma 20mm f/1.4 lens! Cinema5D (Click here) tested the lens on the A7sIi and writes:
This lens kept its promise offering superb quality and while it is made for photography with some ergonomic drawbacks for video it is still among my favourite lenses of all time. The kind of shots I could achieve with this lens, without any noticeable quality loss is amazing and opens up new possibilities for people who like lowlight shooting. Furthermore this lens opens up your path to shallow depth of field at wide angles, which is rarely seen outside of high end professional productions.
The biggest highlight about the Sigma 20mm F/1.4 Art Lens for me is its price though. At $899 the value for money you get is very high and makes it an affordable option for shooters working with a Sony a7S II.

Sigma 20mm f/1.4 is not availible for FE…
Metabones adapter?
It says in the article that it was a Canon EF mount lens mounted with a Metabones adapter.
I use my 35mm Art lens in A Mount on the LA-EA3. It works great, but I read that the 50mm does not work properly. Hope the 20 does as I was considering it, for the price it’s almost a no brainer.
Moonlight videos are the new marketing tool?
Can you imagine what people where finally able to do when film ISO reached 100 or 1600/3200 for consumers?
Brilliant. Amazing bokeh for such a wide lens.
Bokeh does look fantastic. Little bit too much vignette wide open than I’d like. If it weren’t for the lack of hard stops on the mechanical focus, I’d buy this lens, but otherwise too many compromises.
very nicely done…
Wow, this is impressive. The lens looks great, and the A7SII at ISO 51200 looks absolutely insane.
Film should have been called Street Lit Night.
