Who else still uses Canon? Sometimes I feel like a grandpa using it, but I just can't let it go.
I am a Nikon user and have the sigma 35mm 1.4 and damn I want to love it so much. Auto focus sucks. It’s at a 30% hit rate which in portraits you can get away with cause you can fire off 5 quick shots. In events/weddings not so much plus the volume of pics. Only reason I have kept it this long is because I purchased it for $250. When it hits focus though it is amazing.
I use the Sigma 35/1.4 Art on my 5DIV and it's stellar! I'm not sure what "falls apart at the seams" means (build?) but it's built like a tank, and has a 7 year warranty (vs 1 year for the Canon). Focus has been spot on and it's sharp AF. I highly recommend it.
Just discovered your channel today but loving it already ! Keep it up 🙂
Can you make a tutorial on how to switch lenses when time is an issue?
Great Video! My question is: what camera bag do you use to carry all of those?
Great video content man! Keep it up!
first time watching your videos, or channel for that matter, and besides your gear (which as a wedding photographer I am obsessed with) I loved how you kept it real with your kiddos in the video, and how life can get a little messy with kids toys lying around.. you just won a new subscriber !
You trynna break your back wearing all that in a bag without padding?
I just found your channel! Love it!! I would also love to see how you get the light trails.
light trail ? mmmm Yes please
Loving your videos! How bout one on how you edit? 💁♂️
I love your content.

100% light trails tutorial. Love your work!
okay, 11:07 with your kid rocking one of your cameras in the background is pretty great. Work life balance hype
Need an Eric street photography video!
Only prime lenses!!
Pretty cool photography videos, wish I had come across your stuff earlier. Anyways, keep it up
I'm from Chicago too. Love the video bro!
You are a natural! Awesome channel!
Yes, my 35mm sigma fell apart as well!
Sigmas newer primes are much better (eg. 135/105), the focus is basically as good as the Canons. (I personally use the bit older 50mm and the 135mm)
Do you shoot with those lenses wide open?
You’ve really inspired to me to try and go back to doing photography, thanks for this video!
Best gear video I’ve ever watched
