Dope Tech #2: Customs!

2015-11-02
a Widow's up guy is mkbhd here from the crispiest lens out there to customizing a little bit of color where you never really could this is dope tech number two alright so in dope check number one I actually started talking about some of the equipment I use to make all these videos starting with the camera the red weapon dragon but I didn't talk about the lens on it that is the Sigma 18 to 35 F 1.8 and it is probably my favorite piece of tech that I own now I have primes and everything and you can never really quite match the sharpness and the image quality from a prime lens with a zoom but this is a one-of-a-kind lens and it gets the closest that I've ever seen the build quality is top-notch much like the rest of the Sigma Art Series and it combines a set of specs that you literally do not see in any other zoom lens so the 18 and 35 millimeter zoom which is nice and wide to mid then the constant superfast F 1.8 aperture throughout the whole zoom range and a really close minimum focus distance of just 11 inches from the base of the lens so you can get really close to pull off some basically macro shots with this lens so that and the image you get out of it is super sharp from edge to edge if you want any test footage I've been using it I'd say probably about 75% of the shots in my last 50 videos went through this glass so people ask about equipment it's pretty easily the number one lens I recommend there's a Canon version a Nikon version all types the one downside being it's for crop sensors only I'm definitely going to miss it when I switch to a full-frame camera in a few months but if you're shooting aps-c or super 35 or pretty much anything that's not full-frame and you have a budget for it do it team Chris B welcomes you alright so custom tech is pretty dope and I'm sure you guys already know that along with pixels and dynamic range red and black is one of my favorite combos and I like to see that in tech when I can some of you might remember the mkbhd Edition 13 inch retina MacBook Pro painted and logo replaced by color world last year so a year and a half later it still looks pretty great the paint has held up fine so that's good news but the laptop itself is a little dated and I'm looking for it to be a mobile editing rig so I sent in a new fully loaded 50 inch retina MacBook crow with the same treatment of that stealth matte black kept the red hinge and I am now a very happy mobile editor plus they are now able to paint the trackpad to so no more silver trackpad sticking out like a sore thumb this thing is freaking beautiful and color where if you didn't know does this with all types of devices laptops the iMac smartphones accessories I think they'll have it for the new Apple keyboard and Magic Mouse pretty soon and my personal favorite the mkbhd headphones of choice custom Sennheiser HD 800 now this is what a normal pair of Aegis 800 s looks like silver and black I've shown these in a previous video pretty classy but you can pick all the colours you would want of all the different parts the hinge the grille and everything on color where sight size is what I picked and then this is what it looks like in real life pretty clean obviously if you're a fan of red and black like me this is going to look hot if not I'm sure you can find your own colors to suit your setup as for those curious I have this going into a whoo-oo do wa7 Firefly right now along with a pair of Yamaha studio monitors anyway color war is doping everything but it's just not cheap and it's also not fast it takes something like two weeks for them to accept your shipment take it apart paint it and ship it back plus it does void your manufacturer warranty usually though they do provide their own but I wouldn't expect to take this into the Apple store to get anything fixed so a less permanent less expensive version of the color where treatment would be asked in essentially a vinyl sticker over the top of your device the upside to a skin is that it is temporary and it is much cheaper than a custom paint job kind of like a car getting a rap versus new paint and you can change the texture if you want the only real downside being precision or how study your hand is the skin from deep bran you're looking at here they're all precisely cut but it's really all about the application process too and getting that right so they cover almost all the same devices that color word does from smartphones right up to laptops and consoles and they will be precisely cut so it's just a matter of you getting a right and it'll look as good as you make it anyway that's it for dope tech number two it's a brand new series so definitely leave your suggestions in the comments below for more stuff you want to see in between all these reviews and I'll talk to you guys in the next one peace
