Chris, can't remember if I ever bothered to put a comment before so if not then here it is. After a close family member passed away and left some money to me I decided to update my kit completely to a different system, from the very old and well used one I have had for many many years. All the four lenses I bought were based on all the reviews I watched on YOUR channel and were invaluable in my decision making. Your vids are simple to understand, informative and offer excellent comparisons and no doubt I will still be watching them even if I'm not due for any purchases in the foreseeable future. Thanks and keep up the great work. I wish you all the very best for the coming New Year.
it screams plastic & rubber. no soul in the design. minimalist yes, but it doesn't fit the with the complex look of cameras. Nikon's primes for example are similarly ugly.
@@tridinh1011 I will respectfully disagree. I own this lens and I do not find it bothering my photography. It obviously does not look nor feel premium, thats for the Art series that goes beyond the $800 mark. But it certainly does not feel cheap, and aesthetically goes well with small cameras. And I like my stuff looking good too, I own Fuji lenses. I have Canon glass and I've had Sony glass too and some of their cheaper offerings do feel cheap compared to this Sigma lens.
A must have lens for apsc shooters imo. i have it myself and has been a very useful/versatile lens for me. it's great for travel, street, and portrait photography.
Hi Christopher, I would really like to see a behind the scenes video when you are testing lenses. Some things I can understand, but lighting and size / length to test chart would be good to know. Is the test chart some print you have done yourself ? It would be awesome to be able to replicate your test at home, and compare old vintage lenses to the new stuff. The consistency and repeatability is very nice, and you are building up a very nice catalogue. Keep up the good work, you are great inspiration!
Just a honest review not like all the other overhype on RUclips. This is a reasonably priced lens and the performance is just about right. But nothing spectacular or out of this world.
at last.. thnx for the review! The lower than expected corner performance might be due to field curvature as you have a completely level subject. Real life photos of landscapes at f8 are incredibly sharp in the corners too.
I own this lens for the Sony A6300 and I do fully agree with your review. I was blown away when I saw that it perfectly resolves fine features like hair down to the pixel sensors at F1.4. I think it also does so mid-frame, only the very corners are weak. On the other hand the barrel distortion pretty much kills it for anything that is supposed to have straight lines. Architecture photography is pretty much impossible. At least in Capture One I was not able to get a satisfactory correction for the barrel distortion. For some reason, even Sigma's own 16mm F1.4 seems to have less distortion while being much wider!
I used both the EFM32 1.4 and the 30 1.4 Sony E version, while the 32 1.4 is a near perfect lens, on Sony bodies without the AA filter the 30 1.4 may look even sharper except in the corners
i own all three Sigma DC DN e-mount lenses, the 16mm and 56mm are both absolutely wonderful but i find myself not packing this one along as much, and kind of miss my old Sony 35f1.8 (sadly stolen). the autofocus is indeed noticeably weaker than all those others, and the fringing is quite bad. i was curious if this Canon update might improve anything and it seems like autofocus is where it should be, if no other areas. thanks for the continued excellence and consistency in your reviews!
Christopher, thanks for another excellent review. All the recent YT and written reviews of this lens have been very positive. It needs to be remembered that when this lens would have been in its design stages, its target market would have been the Sony a6000 series. As such, its performance with the 20mp sensor is perhaps a little fairer. Given the dearth of native glass for the Sony apsc range, it is my understanding that this lens has, and continues, to sell very strongly to Sony apsc owners and now perhaps Canon and limited other mirrorless owners.
I bought this lens 2 months ago. The build quality is actually very premium. It does the job very well and everything works great. Anyone who wonders if they should buy it or not, I say go for it. I recommend it! I bought it for my Sony A6000 as a 35mm replacer, because 35mm lenses are way to expensive... let's be honest. This 30mm was way less expensive than any 35mm available and all the less expensive 35mm's options are only with F1.8. This Sigma 30mm has F1.4
For a Canon EF-M sytem, the native 32mm is better. On the Canon M6 II I would buy the 16mm Sigma, because it doesn't have equivalent. The 56 also. This one is far less compelling.
I've bought a 35mm F2 IS used for my Canon APSC (EF Mount) I really like it and if i only can take one lense with me i would probably choose it over any zooms but it is tricky to get a wider picture as it is essentialy a 56mm lense relatively speaking on my apsc. But it is light, small, very sharp and has IS thus allowing stopping down under lower light situations to get a deeper DOF. ... this 1.4 would be very interesting on EF if i didnt already had my 35
unfortunately, this lens only fits Canon ef-m mounts (or Sony-e), not ef. Nice to hear you're using the 35mm f2 is usm, I've got one too and it's awesome
Thanks for doing all the hard work on these reviews, always a watch when they show up in my sub feed. I’d love this in a Fuji mount, doesn’t seem likely so here’s hoping the upcoming Viltrox 33 1.4 is as good as the 85 was and as cheap as the rumors say.
Honestly, that Viltrox will likely perform at least as well as this one... image quality and bokeh aren't that exciting. And at least the Viltrox will have an aperture ring.
Really enjoy your content and find it very informative and practical. Did you ever face issues with the autofocus during photography.? I keep hearing on line that it only nails the focus 70 percent of times and 30 percent of times you are left with major focus issues.
It did have focusing problems when it was just released, but has been somewhat resolved with a firmware update. Newer Sony bodies should also improve it’s AF performance; closer to, but not at the level of Sony native lenses.
This lens is useful for the price its worth ($250) , but there are many options out there .. I personally replaced this lens with the sony 28mm and the 20mm pancake
@@stefpix I'm no expert , but I do think some lenses have better stabilization than others , even if it has no OSS ... the Zeiss 55mm and sigma 16mm are great examples
What I can't seem to understand is if the same lens fits both Canon and Sony? If not, which feature should I look at when ordering it for Canon? I was hoping to find an answer in this video but maybe I was just not listening carefully.
On Sony its must have, but canon is really good at pricing the eos m system, so native 32 1.4 is not much more expensive. Lens like 32 1.4 can be costs 600 or even 700 dollars If it was Fuji, micro 4/3 or Sony. But Eos M is just small, modest system, without claiming to be a luxury or "Pro" :)
I love this focal length but this lens isn't great. Apart from f-stop my old Sigma 30 2.8 beats this lens in every other way. It have better looking bokeh and no need to be stoped down from f2.8. I love this focal length but there isn't nice modern lens faster then 2.8 for Sony. Canon M 32 1.4 is my wet dream but i am not investing that much money in dead mount.
you probably got yourself the best a6xxx camera of the lot! (in other words I envy you lol) - I'll opt myself for the older and cheaper a6000 and save to spend on good lenses instead
@Christopher Frost Photography, is it worth to pay more money for canon version. I have M6 mk II for one week, and this camera is really good. What me surprised is high ISO performance. Noise looks very pleasant. And if you not looking at pixel level it is almost not visible. I see this sensor on pixel level is very demanding. But in general I do not see any issues with sharpness on efm 22, sigma 17-50, 55-250 stm. Pictures look good. So is it really worth those 150€ for canon 32mm f1.4? Do you plan to test this on your new 32mpx sensor?
Thank you, I have ordered canon version already. Reasons: Smaller, native, less chromatic aberrations, sharper, better distortions, closer minimum focus distance. Cons: more expensive, slower focus, no lens hood. :) So waiting it now.
I think the Canon lens is a fair bit better and seems sharp from f/1.4, even in the corners. I would also like to see the performance on an the M6 Mark II, but I'm saving up for one.
Hi! Is your sharpness chart DIY or is it available somewhere? Watching your lovely videos I came to a conclusion I need to have one to check any Sony lens I will buy:)
How's the sunstars on this lens? Its transmissibility seems to be better than Canon's 32mm (as seen on a video by Todd Dominey) and I might buy it for night street photography to accompany the 16mm.
And this is why it makes no sense bumping resolution much more than 24 Mpx in APSC. Small and light lenses usually can´t handle that amount of resolution that well, and you end up with worse results than in a 24Mpx camera. In full frame is not that big o a problem, since you get bigger camera bodies than can hadle better the lenses than can resolve 42-60 Mpx sensors.
I have Sigma 16 mm and 18-135mmm. Sony Zoom lens is great for travel but only on the day when the weather is good, it is just dark but very versatile and handy. So is good as second lens. Sigma 16 mm is heavier by which it is not well balanced with the body but is very sharp a piece of glass.
How do you feel about this lens vs the Viltrox 33mm f1.4? I currently have the Viltrox but am wondering if re-selling and buying the new Sigma for Fuji would give some improvement!
can you do a review for this crop lens for full frame camaras please? i use this and i think its the same quality even dough is 10mp insted of 24mp because of the conversion
Great review! I have one question. I bought a M100, and I've been using the kit lenses, the 15-45mm one. For me who never had a proper camera before it's awesome. I've dialed all settings I could to make the colors to my prefference, trying to match irl colors with my monitor using Photoshop's RAW tool, all colors seem spot on on my profile... except for greens (and maybe some shades of red). I do painting on canvas and my green ones are always pale bluish instead of a strong emerald green they are, so I need a drastically different profile for these, but then every other photo is too green. I was thinking in getting this Sigma, but I wanted to know from your experience, since I want a more accurate color out of the box, wich lenses should I get? Or if I want a better color reproduction I should get something else? Thanks alot!
With the particularly high density sensor in the M6 Mk. II, any thoughts on re-reviewing some of the lenses that you own or have easy access to in order to see if they still hold up compared to when you tested them on 20 and 24 megapixel cameras? I certainly understand if you don't wish to do so, as that might be a chore.
had it. Sharpest lens I have ever had, even on f1.4. And one of the worst autofocus on Sony in a dark. And it always refocuses, never starts where it was. Sold it because of that. And chromatic aberrations were just terrible.
I have the 32mm 1.4 and found it sharper in the centre and especially in the corners. One of the best lenses on any system and a must on EF-M. The Sigma is good; the Canon is great.
If I have to choose 1 lens for canon apsc, what lens on the market should I buy. I want versatility, more bokeh and light than kit lens, and have a good price? Thank you
Why i cant take photos with this lens? I can only take photos if i set it to release shutter without lens but the autofocus won't work. Can anybody help me? M100 Sigma 30mm 1.4 dc dn
My mistake. I didn't notice the price difference since I bought my ART version second hand - or that this version is "Contemporary" rather than "Art." I just assumed all new lenses are meant to be better but this is an affordable alternative.
There is a new 50mm 1.8 '5MP' cctv lens from China that will also cover APS. Ensure that there is no glass at the rear of the lens. It should be well up the barrel. Tiny.

i'm confused about the comments regarding the lenses external appearance, I think it's a beautiful and minimalist lens design
I’ll second that sentiment! It has a minimalistic beauty-almost Scandanavian or German.
I love Sigma’s aesthetics
They make some of the best looking lenses
it screams plastic & rubber. no soul in the design. minimalist yes, but it doesn't fit the with the complex look of cameras. Nikon's primes for example are similarly ugly.

This is the review I have waited for
How does it compare to Canon's EF-M 32mm f/1.4?
By the looks of it. I think I'll be saving a little longer and getting the EF-M 32mm.
I would love to see a direct comparison on that M6-Mrk2 though.
I think the Canon lens is a fair bit better and seems sharp from f/1.4, even in the corners. I would also like to see the performance on an the M6 Mark II, but I'm saving up for one.
Biggest selling point of course is the AF from canon to me still, love the STM and AF on Canon newer bodies when shooting video
I'm saving up for one of these two lenses. The sigma seems great but it's distortion seems a bit too much

canon efm 32mm f/1.4 & sigma 30mm f/1.4 m mount, which one is better?
The Canon but it'll cost you a lot more
Christopher Frost Photography but I use for filming video is it still canon better？
So regarding the size and the sharpness the Canon 32mm f/1.4 is a better choice, right ?
yes it is sharper and smaller but the cheapest you can find it in EU is 500 euros.
I have the 32mm 1.4 and found it sharper in the centre and especially in the corners. One of the best lenses on any system and a must on EF-M. The Sigma is good; the Canon is great.
@The SuperBike Tour great price. Grey market though
@The SuperBike Tour I've bought my manual samyang 12mm for my Sony from there but there's some risk involved if you need to use warranty.
would love to hear your thoughts on the voigtlander 40mm 1.2 for sony!
Sigma or Canon EFM 32mm?
So to me this lens is a much better match for the 24MP Sony.
would you say this is better than the xc35mm f/2? thinking of selling mine and getting this
Is this full frame lens?
Does the sony lens distortion correction fix the barrel distortion?
Thank you dear 👍
If I have to choose 1 lens for canon apsc, what lens on the market should I buy. I want versatility, more bokeh and light than kit lens, and have a good price? Thank you
If AF works on canon, does it follow that eye af also works well?
Best budget ND filter for this lens for video work outside with 1.4 aperture. Help please
This lens its amazing for photo but for video the autofocus on sony its not good on low light
Does this one work with Canon 250D?
Im not a fan of autofocus lenses that are under 35mm focal length.
FINALLY!
How will this lens do on the Canon M50?
Nice!
Why i cant take photos with this lens? I can only take photos if i set it to release shutter without lens but the autofocus won't work. Can anybody help me?
M100
Sigma 30mm 1.4 dc dn
A little disappointing in that it shows little to no improvement over the older ART lens with the EF mount.
This is contemporary lens. A level below art. If there's no improvement then it's good, cheaper with same quality as previous art
Not when you consider that it costs less than half the price of the ART lens you mention
My mistake. I didn't notice the price difference since I bought my ART version second hand - or that this version is "Contemporary" rather than "Art." I just assumed all new lenses are meant to be better but this is an affordable alternative.
hey chris have you tried the 18-35 f1.8 on the m6 II?
Nope
There is a new 50mm 1.8 '5MP' cctv lens from China that will also cover APS. Ensure that there is no glass at the rear of the lens. It should be well up the barrel. Tiny.
Do you recommend to use Sony 24-105mm on APS-C?
For day time
Watch my review of that lens to see its image quality on APS-C
Does it have IS?
can we use the same exact lens on canon EFM mount cameras and sony E mount cameras?
No
Is this lens compatible with the Canon EOS M50 with an EF-M mount?
Yup
