zerocool22 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 https://***URL not allowed***/sigma-full-frame-lenses-35mm-f12-45mm-f28-1424mm-f28/ So sigma removed the internal coating and changed the coating on the front glass too make the image more silky. Really interested in seeing how they look. Not sure why they made theses lenses slower at T2.5 though, maybe because they want to deliver a certain standard at 1.4 that without their coating they are unable to deliver. I wish these were 1.4, but if they look amazing, I still might be interested though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the loss in transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And these lenses go back to the 80's, surely a company like sigma could rival tech from the 80's by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you reduce or remove a lens coating, you decrease the light transmission that the lens is capable of. How much by, will be determined by the specifics of the glass and coatings in question. Uncoated Superspeeds will have less transmission than the original coated versions. That’s just physics Are rental houses documenting the transmission loss and adding additional markings to the few lenses they’ve had de-coated? Probably not in most cases. But that doesn’t change the fact that those lenses are losing some degree of transmissiveness. IronFilm and TheRenaissanceMan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in that case, they could have just changed the coating and keep the lens at 1.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is still a major difference between zeiss superspeeds( with coating)and sigma arts (with or without coating). Wish they would have looked into different routes to make lenses at 1.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but they have electronics in them lol. The Leica one is a dumb adapter! But I guess if you can afford to buy those types of cameras you can afford the adapters. They have you by the short hairs in a sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRenaissanceMan Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I think people are confusing f-stops and t-stops. The f-stops--the physical size of the lens opening--are the same. They have not changed them. The t-stops--the objective amount of light being transmitted through that opening--are less, due to the lack of coatings.

Nmccarthy Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I found an article/DP showing off these lenses. There's a lot of crazy flare when its uncoated http://timurcivan.com/2019/07/an-examination-of-the-sigma-classic-primes/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually you can see clear back to the iris blades on modern lenses. The multiple image reflections you see is the light bouncing back and forth. Each uncoated glass surface loses approximately 4% light transmission meaning the Classics despite being based on the same optical design as the standard Sigma Cine, are T2.5 ( in their current form), They are still however, technically F1.4 lenses. Goes to show how important the coatings are to light transmission and how big a gap between Fstop value and Tstop value can vary depending on the lens design. The Depth of field characteristics are determined by the physical Fstop, not the Tstop. So although wide open is F1.4/T2.5 the DOF will be that of a F1.4 lens. The T stop is the actual transmission of light through the lens. The Fstop is a mathematical ration between focal lengths and aperture area. Tstops are important in cinematography because its a finite measurent. T2.8 on a Sigma Cine should be the exact same exposure as a T2.8 on a Master Prime… or Angenieux…. or Cooke…. This allows you to mix lenses under the same light and get exactly matching exposures. Yikes! Let's have a moment of silence for those 1st ACs who are working with these lenses wide open at T2.5 but still need to deal with a very shallow DoF.....
