Bro youre easily one of my top 3 sony alpha reviewers. Not everyone can afford the latest and greatest camera but thru a nice set up and post editing, u can get amazing results. This lens is not the cheapest either but it has this built in clear zoom feature which makes it kinda like a zoom lens... Just an absolute beast
I got my a6000 AND Sigma 16 f1.4 for $400 TOGETHER! Secondhand market is good. You just need to keep checking amd make sure tp test everything before you buy.
I have a6000 & this video encouraged me to buy sigma 16 1.4, and I bought it, to be honest I don’t like how the lens produces unreal dimensions ( I knew it a wide lens ), but I did not expect it will make the object more curved, I think that sigma 30 mm is fit ( my ) need more and it is cheaper
This is my go-to camera and lens! Most of my photos and videos come from this awesome duo. Btw, great content, bro. Sony a6000 is still a tiny beast although it has been around for 6 years. Because of watching this video I have no reason to upgrade my gear yet. Thanks🙏😁
Hey Toms! This is my favorite lens for a while, so it was great to see this video of appreciation. It's excellent indeed for landscape and architecture, but I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't really used it for close ups, so thanks for the suggestion, I'm definitely gonna try it. Oh, and there are some gorgeous shots in this vid!!
Hey whats up Michalis! Oh, so nice to hear that you also got this little beast. Yeah its a fun thing to use for closups, you get amazingly shallow depth of field. You gonna love it! Thanks so much for your kind words mate 🤘
Hey Scott, yeah the a6000 is a brilliant camera for its price. Sigma 16mm is great option but if you wanna do more portrait photography and other things - good alternative from Sigma is their 30 or 56mm f1.4 lenses. Also extremely sharp, versatile and I believe more or less the same value.
1:32 "Excited about the Sigma 16mm f1.4" haha nice one Toms. Great B-roll shots. Even the photos look so amazing! Will add it to the list of lens I plan to get for my a6100. By the way you're close to a thousand subs. I'm happy for your channel! You deserve a lot more.
Hey Leo, haha just adding some fun to the videos. Yeah the lens is amazing man and for the price... Couldn't wish for more! Man, even though a thousand subs is not a million, I honestly can't believe even about the (almost) first thousand. Thinking that there are more than 5 people who enjoy my content is already crazy 😁 And thats all thanks to you and few more. Grateful for your support 🙌
@@TomsJurjaks you deserve it, you make great content. Can't wait to see your next videos. I'll be there in the first thousand and the next ones. Keep it up!
Another great video! My only question is, what does your editing style look like? I'm trying to curate an effective workflow, so I can snap photos with my Sony A16100 w/ Sigma 16mm F1.4. Then being able to edit on LR Mobile, on my phone, while I'm on the go!
Thanks Kee! I use my own presets A LOT that I have developed over the years but now im switching to a more subtle look and working on a new pack. I hope to release a video about that rather soon so stay tuned
So the lack of OSS or the sound of the autofocus does not impact things significantly (assuming you have an external mic)? I'm debating between this lens and the Sony 35mm f1.8 for my next RUclips lens. I do talking heads!
Both lenses are great my friend. For talking head videos my camera is on tripod so there is no need for OSS (for handheld of course better to have OSS). AF is basically dead silent. Ive never heard in audio it trying to focus. The 35mm is as I said also a great option but remember that on crop sensor it will give you the "50mm look" so you will have to put the camera quite a bit further from you and forget about vlogging hand held - you will simply not be able to stretch your hand far enough to fit yourself in frame.
@@GrowWithWill I already have 50mm f1.8 lens on full frame (basically identical focal length to 35mm on crop) and I really like that lens, but I don't use it for talking head videos. If you think of getting the 35mm - its gonna be amazing cuz you can use it for portraits, architecture and so many more photography types. But if you mainly wanna do talking head videos and handheld vlogs then 16mm Sigma will definitely be of more use. You can however still make the 35mm work for talking head videos, but not for vlogs. I would suggest to think where else you would use the lens and decide based on that. Nevertheless - both of them are great lenses just different use cases and only you know how you intend to use it. Good luck my friend, I know its not an easy choice 😂
Toms, thank you for the info you provided here, your transperancy is felt man! excellent content! just liked and subbed my friend. going to most definitely purchase this lens this week, awesome results. Keep up the great work!
I just discovered your channel by looking for sigma 16mm and I also own a Sony A6000, your video is great keep up your good work. And it will be really appreciated if you can make a video about your lighting setup and how you record audio for A6000. Thank you so much
Hey Abdel, thank you so much for the nice comment! I partially answer your questions in this video ruclips.net/video/BMqSX0GAtrQ/видео.html regarding the audio. But regarding the light, I will be making a video in a week or two about it so stay tuned my friend!
Although Fuji XT30 is MUCH better camera than a6000 and you only let me chose between those two setups -I would still go with a6000 because of the Sigma 16mm f1.4 lens which is the sharpest lens I have ever used. It doesn't matter how good camera you use, if you put a lens with not so good AF and not so good sharpness - then your images will be average quality. Lens is always more important than the camera, however if you intend to use lots of different lenses - then go with Fuji.
A bit late to the party, but only just found your channel yesterday. Great video and nice B-Roll shots. I'm just starting with photography and looking for good affordable lens options. As a newbie I'm worrying about ruining my equipment by being careless. Are these lenses "weathersealed"? Is that an important feature to consider?
Hey Björn and welcome to the family 🙌 really glad you left a comment here. To reply to your question, well, I'm mostly using non-weather sealed cameras and lenses and yes, I do get them wet once in a while from splashes of waves when doing ocean photos or from rain (as you can imagine here in Denmark rains a lot). But I am not as crazy as some landscape photographers that leave their camera in rain for hours. If it gets wet, i just wipe them off. They are more durable then what you think my friend. Also I suggest to always use the lens hood (for whatever lens you use). They greatly protect the glass from bumps, scratches etc . Always use lens caps when putting them in bag and don't worry - you will do great in your photography journey 🙌
@@TomsJurjaks Hey, thanks for the warm welcome. That's very reassuring considering the Danish weather is probably just as bad as the German one😅. Have you ever shot in tropical conditions (hot and high humidity)? Do you think weather sealing is necessary there?
Yeah German weather can definitely be even worse @@bjornbuker6774 and yes, I have shot in Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia. I have never had any issues. I think most importantly is where you store your gear. If you have a room with AC and you dont leave it outside in that humidity 24/7 you should be fine. I think the weather sealing thing is really for extreme use like someone spending hours in rain, days in jungle or just in some storm 😀 I think for us, normal, casual shooters, it is not necessary. The gear is sturdy enough to withstand weather elements for short amount of time.
Thanks Mas! And Sigma 30mm is amazing for potraits. Much better than 16mm. You can also check 50mm f1.4 from Sigma. For portraits it will also be an excellent camera. They all are super sharp and affordable.
Hi Toms Jurjaks, after watching your videos about the first camera for beginner, i choosed Sony A6000 as your suggestion. And now after using Kit lens (16-50) i'm gonna choose the Sigma len for improving my photography quality. As a beginner, I haven't defined my kind of photography but i like to take photos in normal life, portrailt, friends group, landscape... and a little bit videography. As your experience, can you suggest the suitable and best budget lens for me? Thanks you from a fan in Vietnam
Thank you friend! I would then recommend you this lens: amzn.to/3PXnzbH the Sigma 30mm f1.4. The 30mm focal length is perfect for your needs. Very versatile.
50mm f1.8 FE or OSS? Don’t get FE. Instead I would be choosing between Sigma 30mm f1.4 vs Sigma 56mm f1.4 Lot better build quality and insane sharpness
i have sigma 60 mm 2.8 for my sony a 6000. dear sir which lens u suggest for me sigma 18-50 mm or sigma 16mm or sony 18-105 . i do only photography no videography
Yo, whats up Mischief! Thanks a lot for your kind words. 399$ you can grab new, but I got mine secondhand (with shuttercount 900) for 300. Someone on one of my other videos commented that he got used from B&H if Im not mistaken used for 250$. Look around and you might be in luck! Lemme know how it goes tho 💪
@@TomsJurjaks I've looked everywhere eBay B&H Amazon and everything is looking to be 400 and more. But some of them come with a kit lens the epz Caitlin I will look at bnh again I found one on eBay that will be around 4:50 I'm on a really tight budget. I make videos for our local library teaching children science. My version of mr. Wizard LOL thank you so much for your reply I appreciate it and looking for the sigma 16 mm lens for my Christmas present. Any suggestions to where I may find that for a decent price B&H?
Hmm not sure how to help you. The guy bought Sigma 35mm f1.4 along with the camera both used like new on B&H. I think its just a matter of time for price to drop. Since the camera is discontinued, stores won't keep them forever (my guess) so hopefully in next 2 weeks around Christmas you will get some price drop. And the Sigma 16mm will make you really happy for your science projects - you can get real close to objects and with that f1.4 isolate the object so well from the background. Such a cool thing you are doing for them kids. Keep it up🤘
@@TomsJurjaks thank you very much. I may actually hibt down the 6100 the lack of flip screen 120 in 1080 and Mic port are kind worth the extra cash for the 6100. Ive been hunting for weeks statted with the 5100 but after hours of research i figured the extra is worth it since i wont be upgrading anythime soon but the sigma lens is on my wish list for sure
@@MischiefOne the a6100 is definitely a major upgrade with all the things you mentioned. If you can't find the a6000 for decent price - get the a6100 if there is a good deal. And it makes perfect sense since you will be using the camera for years. It will definitely pay off. Good luck brother 🙌
I'm not an expert for product photography, but for that the most important thing is a tripod and good light. You could even use your kit lens to get decent product photos. But for videos - both the Sigma 16mm, Sigma 30mm and Sigma 56mm will be good, although maybe the 56mm would make you step a bit more back if you have a bigger product to film. I shot this b-roll with the 16mm ruclips.net/video/RNQ16XJt8gg/видео.html but probably the 30mm is the best I guess (even though I havent actually tried it)
It's great! Cuz it has quite a wide angle, you can easily put it above your monitor. I use it even for remote meetings with clients 😀 and shallow depth of field makes it really nice to blur the background 👌
It could be. However, I would probably go with very wide angle zoom lens. You probably also will want to take photos of interrior and there you might need wider angle. If you have the budget to get 2 lenses, this or 30mm Sigma would be amazing addition 🤟
@@TomsJurjaks I personally find bigger focal lengths better for car photography. I currently own two Sigmas - 30mm and 56mm (f1.4). They're both great but I prefer to use 56mm almost all the time. The bokeh, compression and sharpness is amazing with this lens. 30mm is also great, but has too much fringing which is hard to get rid of even in Lightroom and the final effects are juuust a little bit less impressive ;). I am thinking of replacing the 30mm with 16mm for some cityscapes, landscapes and in general for wider shots, which I think would be a nice lineup with 56mm. Now if I only could find a good quality zoom that doesn't also break the bank... ;)
Hey man ive been coming back to this video a couple times last 3 months and deciding on a camera, im able to get a sony a6000 set with both sigma 16mm & 30mm or a sony a6300 with 16-50mm kitlens. I guess i should go with the sony a6000? Or do you think the sony a6300 would be better and buy a sigma 16mm later
Hey buddy! What is the main purpose for you getting a camera? If it is photos, then 100% a6000 will be enough and you wont feel a difference between a6000 and a6300 and it would be great to have extra lenses. If it is video making you are interested in - then a6300 is a way to go. You won't be able to make good videos with kit lena so you still will have to find a good lens as soon as you can afford it.
Sure mate. Any camera will do the job. Just be aware that Canon has different mounts. If im not mistaken they have the EF, EF-S and EF-M mount. I think the EF lens fits both on EF and EF-S but not on EF-M mount. And EF-M is the mirrorless version and they have rather limited selection of lenses (compared to Canon EF or Sony E-mount). So my advice is that instead of choosing camera, check what lenses it will fit as that will matter in a long run. But please double check the info I just said cuz I haven't used Canon for like 2-3 years soI might be bit lying here and there haha
Hi Tom! I am Miguel from 2megapixels Channel, content Creator like you, doing specially mobile content, reviews, unboxing, camera reviews.. Normally I film myself with mobiles but recently I bought a Lumix lx15 ( compact camera with flip screen and 4k ) but it is small, I keep having It, but yesterday I bought the Sony a6000 to work with it because my pc is old and not powerfull for work good with 4k files.. So, my question is.. Do you think it's nice option that camera for my type of content? And, I am thinking about to buy the Sigma 16 or 30mm! What do you think is better for this? And ¿ Do you think is a problem to film in 1080/60 instead of 4k un 2021/22? Thanks dude!
Hey buddy and thanks for your question! As always, I would say that the most important thing is the content, the value you provide and very good audio. Rest can be secondary (look at my most popular video - it was filmed with GoPro 😁). A6000 is good beginners camera, but not as good for videos. If I were you - I would stick with 4K and your Lumix and make sure you use PROXIES. I have the same issue as you (slow computer) and proxies help sssooooo much editing 4K videos. I would leave a6000 for photos - it is amazing photo camera, especially with those 2 Sigma lenses 👌
@@TomsJurjaks thanks for the answer bro.. But, do you think its better the 4k of the LUMIX LX15 instead of the 1080/60 Sony a6000? I like so much the Sony but i know its 1080. But most of the people watch RUclips with the phone..
Hi. I own the a6600 & sigma 16mm 1.4 I’ve been trying to do videos like yours but they never come out as good. Any recommendations on Sony settings to get colors like yours? Are you using a custom picture profile? Please help!
Hey buddy! I put the least possible effort in colors. A6000 doesn't even have Picture Profiles, so I set contrast and saturation to -2. For a6400 I shoot in PP10 with HLG2 and again, I need to do very little for color correction. Hope it helps!
Good job, nice footage and thanks for sharing your experience with us. I have the sigma 56 1.4 and Sony 6000 & 6400 that I use for video and photos. A big Like & Sub for you.
Oh wow that's a mad setup you got there my friend! Whenever someone is asking about prime lenses, I always recommend the Sigma 30 or 56mm, such awesome peace of glass. And thanks so much for the sub. I really appreciate it 🙌
@@TomsJurjaks You deserve more subscribers but you know RUclips...You have to wait and upload regularly. Other that that , yes Sigma prime lenses are the best. I will buy the 16 & 30 mm when i found them with a good price. Have fun & I wish you the best!
Yeah you know the struggle of RUclips 😁 @@chhiwateamina1948 but thanks for the kind words. Btw I bought mine 16mm 5 months old, looking like new for only 300$ still with 2 year warranty. Look out for a deal like that maybe. Good luck 🙌
The combo is 🔥 indeed. Nice B-Roll😎. What are your thoughts on an a6000 + 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM | A? Is it worth it? Will there will a difference between 1.4mm/1.8mm?
Levian, I honestly didn't even know someone makes a zoom lens with f1.8 🙉 Im more familiar with Full Frame lenses so I was not aware of this Sigma lens. It seems pretty cool tbh and I would probably go with the zoom lens vs the prime. You won't feel the difference between f1.4 vs f1.8 because the bokeh at f1.4 on 16mm feels "less" than compared to f1.8 at 35mm (the longer the focal length, the more blurry the background will be). It all comes down to your budget too. Sigma 16mm can be copped for 300$ (slightly used) but the zoom is x2 more if im not mistaken. But definitely worth to consider.
I'm a beginner in photography, I'm considering the a6000 as my first camera. If I can only have 1 lens among Sony E 50mm f1.8, Sony 18-105mm f4 and Sigma 16mm f1.4. Can u help me to pick one of them for these following circumstances (portrait, group, travel, street,...). Thanks for your help - From Vietnam with luv 🥰🥰🥰
Hey Khoa! a6000 is going to be a perfect first camera. Photo capabilities are still excellent for this camera. Regarding the lens, since you can only get one and you need it to be versatile - I would go with the Sony 18-105mm zoom lens. It is excellent all arounder that can be used in bunch of occasions. It is not going to be the best lens in each category you mentioned, but it does cover all categories. When you can get a second lens, definitely buy a prime lens: 24, 35 or 50mm f1.8. doesn't matter the brand. Any of those will be perfect for portraits and street photography. Good luck my friend 🙌🇻🇳
So about the prime lens, which lens (16, 35 or 50mm) is most suitable for my case. I heard that Sigma 16mm is the sharpest lens for a6000 so I am interested in having it but I don't know that is it too hard to take portrait than the 50mm for a beginner like me or not?
16mm Sigma is definitely on of the sharpest lenses for Sony E Mount and application is quite large, however I would say it would be used a lot for videos@@khoatrinhchan6841 For photos and especially for portraits I could recommend rather the Sigma 30mm f1.4. It is as sharp as the Sigma 16mm and costs also very little compared to other lenses.
I've never in my life used a flash. Not the built-in, nor external so I can't tell you that my friend. Nevertheless, I think it performs great no matter what.
@@TomsJurjaks I was really surprised to see that quality from a gopro. As I own both of the gears u used. Great video though. U made me buy this lens. Thank you!
It is quite a wide angle so it is perfect for establishing shots of car in the environment or interior shots. You can also use it for driving car shots but as I said the car will seem a bit in distance. If that is what you aim for - then its perfect. The quality is super good so nothing to worry about there. I would probably go with a mid range zoom lens as it would allow more flexibility, especially for driving cars.
@@TomsJurjaks thanks for the answer :D so which mid range zoom lense would you prefer to buy for flexibility and especially for take pictures of driving cars? :-)
Either the Tamron 17-70 f2.8 or Sigma 18-50 f2.8 depending on if you care for lens being small and compact @@markoswelt918 I made the video about Sigma 18-50 - check it out on my channel.
For video? Variable ND filter? I have used Fotga, it is very okay filter, but then I bought Tiffen Variable ND which is way more expensive but very good quality 👌
If you buy a new one in store then of course. In Europe we have 2 year warranty. If something goes wrong with the camera and Sony is not able to fix it, they will refund you fully, so no worries, go grab yours!
You probably need a telephoto lens to "get close" to the action. You can check out some Tamron zoom lenses. Affordable price, excellent quality and good aperture 👌
Not an expert in that but probably would go with a zoom lens that has close focal distance. I wouldnt even bother about crazy f-stop. I think whats more important is to have a tripod and good light.
Take it easy bro @@realthing00 Do a lot of research and don't rush on buying gear. Also take everything you see/read with a grain of salt as everyone has their opinion/styles/preferences. What works for them might not work for you, but that doesn't mean you are wrong or doing something wrong. Its a long process - as long as you enjoy it - you gonna be good! Good luck in your journey 💪
One of the pictures is edited with Copenhagen preset, other 2 with other presets from my shop. But I recommend the Copenhagen preset the most. It works on so many pictures.
On 1:00, you say that it is recorded on gorpo, but how do you get that bokeh effect out of it ? I personally own a hero 8 but my videos from it but I don’t have any bokeh, or Is it recorded on some normal camera and you just put a wrong label there. I am so curious.
Oh damn you got me there buddy 😁 It was shot on a6000 + Sigma 16mm f1.4. I messed up the labels there haha Unfortunately GoPro has never been able to get any depth/bokeh but I wish... Sorry about the confusion Lukáš😁
Yes, to be precise it would be 24.5 mm. You can use this simple site to make calculations for other focal lengths too www.omnicalculator.com/other/crop-factor
Hello Toms, i hope you will see this message and respond cuz i need a little help. As first as, i bought a6000 with 16mm f1.4 sigma last year, took many photos but they look so freaking bad. Im totally stupid about photography but i love photos. 2nd thing is that i maybe maded mistake cuz in some videos people says that 16mm sigma is not good for portrait and sometimes when im trying to take portrait i need to come really close to person. Also, im shooting at 4:3 scale but dont know if that camera have zoom in/out fck... 😕
Hey Alex, don't worry too much, because there is a solution to all of your problems. First, why does these pictures look bad? Because the lens is super sharp and capable. Maybe you simply need to give it some more time to learn photography and get better. Second, well yes, this lens is not the most common to use for portraits. In general a 35, 50 or 85mm lenses are more common for portraits. Sigma has 30mm and also 56mm f1.4. You should try one of those for portraits. This 16mm lens is best for taking videos. And it is a prime lens so of course you can not zoom in, don't be frustrated. Its the type of lens. If you wanna zoom in you need a zoom lens. With prime lens you zoom by coming closer with your feet :) Hope it helps!
@@TomsJurjaks Well, thanks for super fast answer my friend. Uhm.. did i made mistake by buying 16mm for portrait cuz its not that good for portraits. :/ And by far, i need to buy 30mm 😑 As i told you im a beginner and primarly i want to shoot some photos for posting on instagram and those are portraits.
Think of it as a learning lesson rather than a mistake 🙂 Now you will know that it takes A LOT of time to do a research of gear before you buy it. If your primary goal is portraits then 16mm is not the best lens (especially for beginners). Its a great lens but its best used for other purposes. But don't worry, try to sell it or exchange it against Sigma 30mm f1.4 or Sigma 56mm f1.4. Both of those lenses will be amazing for portraits!
56mm as its more "zoomed in" and works very well with half body portraits, BUT it can be bit more challenging so for beginners I guess 30mm is bit more common. Still creates awesome portraits and can be used also for full body shots, cars, street/architecture photos etc
Thanks mate, lots of parts were also hand-held, but when you shoot 60fps and slow it down in post, it looks smoother. Also using the wide angle lens (16mm) helps to "hide" the shake a bit.@@dvcmarquez5327
@@TomsJurjaks oh ..i have another doubt😊if we have a camera with kit lens 16 -50mm then why did people buy 50mm,30mm prime lens.16 to 50mm has already on the kit lens.
Its because the kit lens does not have good aperture. All prime lenses can go to f1.8 or even 1.4 and 1.2 that gives you that super nice blurry background@@mahirshoukath also they area usually cheaper, lighter, smaller and pictures come out higher quality. But you lose versatility.
This is the lens I should get for vlogging and other stuffs after I got the money ofc. My 90mm F 2.8 G lens just arrive and its just ripped my wallet 😂.
Bro youre easily one of my top 3 sony alpha reviewers. Not everyone can afford the latest and greatest camera but thru a nice set up and post editing, u can get amazing results. This lens is not the cheapest either but it has this built in clear zoom feature which makes it kinda like a zoom lens... Just an absolute beast

Wooow thats a steal my friend! 🔥 Congrats! Its a killer combo. You gonna have so much fun with this setup! Cheers 🤟
Something like buy Sigma 16mm lens and Sony A6000 for free.

I have a6000 & this video encouraged me to buy sigma 16 1.4, and I bought it, to be honest I don’t like how the lens produces unreal dimensions ( I knew it a wide lens ), but I did not expect it will make the object more curved,
I think that sigma 30 mm is fit ( my ) need more and it is cheaper
Yeah Sigma 30mm is more versatile. For your "problem", apply Lens Correction in Lightroom. It usually fixes most of distortions.
Underrated channel
This is my go-to camera and lens! Most of my photos and videos come from this awesome duo. Btw, great content, bro. Sony a6000 is still a tiny beast although it has been around for 6 years. Because of watching this video I have no reason to upgrade my gear yet. Thanks🙏😁

Thanks Tom! I bought the Sony a6000 when I retired because of the value. I’m going to purchase this as my first prime.
Hey Scott, yeah the a6000 is a brilliant camera for its price. Sigma 16mm is great option but if you wanna do more portrait photography and other things - good alternative from Sigma is their 30 or 56mm f1.4 lenses. Also extremely sharp, versatile and I believe more or less the same value.
i have the combo for 1 year now and i love it. thumbs up for your video 👍🏼

Man, even though a thousand subs is not a million, I honestly can't believe even about the (almost) first thousand. Thinking that there are more than 5 people who enjoy my content is already crazy 😁 And thats all thanks to you and few more. Grateful for your support 🙌
@@TomsJurjaks you deserve it, you make great content. Can't wait to see your next videos. I'll be there in the first thousand and the next ones. Keep it up!
I have one in the MFT format - bought it used.
I have both MFT and a Sony Nex5/n and a great a6000.
Hey Michael, how is it working on your MFT? I've never used those kinda cameras
@@TomsJurjaks Just fine! Heavy but sharp. Normally on a LUMIX G-100 but sometimes on one of Olympus bodies - which it dwarfs!
Very helpful!! Nice work 💪🏻
Another great video! My only question is, what does your editing style look like? I'm trying to curate an effective workflow, so I can snap photos with my Sony A16100 w/ Sigma 16mm F1.4. Then being able to edit on LR Mobile, on my phone, while I'm on the go!
Thanks Kee! I use my own presets A LOT that I have developed over the years but now im switching to a more subtle look and working on a new pack. I hope to release a video about that rather soon so stay tuned
Amazing Showcase!!!
Thanks Anthony, I really appreciate your support!
Amazing! I’m getting it as well!
Go for it Asmi! 🙌
Nice work! What software do you use for video editing?
Thank you! I use Adobe Premiere Pro but am looking to switch to DaVinci Resolve
So the lack of OSS or the sound of the autofocus does not impact things significantly (assuming you have an external mic)?
I'm debating between this lens and the Sony 35mm f1.8 for my next RUclips lens. I do talking heads!
Both lenses are great my friend. For talking head videos my camera is on tripod so there is no need for OSS (for handheld of course better to have OSS). AF is basically dead silent. Ive never heard in audio it trying to focus.
The 35mm is as I said also a great option but remember that on crop sensor it will give you the "50mm look" so you will have to put the camera quite a bit further from you and forget about vlogging hand held - you will simply not be able to stretch your hand far enough to fit yourself in frame.
@@TomsJurjaks so you’d give this the slight edge?
@@GrowWithWill I already have 50mm f1.8 lens on full frame (basically identical focal length to 35mm on crop) and I really like that lens, but I don't use it for talking head videos. If you think of getting the 35mm - its gonna be amazing cuz you can use it for portraits, architecture and so many more photography types. But if you mainly wanna do talking head videos and handheld vlogs then 16mm Sigma will definitely be of more use. You can however still make the 35mm work for talking head videos, but not for vlogs. I would suggest to think where else you would use the lens and decide based on that. Nevertheless - both of them are great lenses just different use cases and only you know how you intend to use it. Good luck my friend, I know its not an easy choice 😂

Great video and like the vibe on your channel.
Thank you so much Xhynet 🙌 glad you enjoy it here 👌
Toms, thank you for the info you provided here, your transperancy is felt man! excellent content! just liked and subbed my friend. going to most definitely purchase this lens this week, awesome results. Keep up the great work!
Awesome to hear that buddy! Im sure you will enjoy the lens and thanks so much for subbing💪
I just discovered your channel by looking for sigma 16mm and I also own a Sony A6000, your video is great keep up your good work.
And it will be really appreciated if you can make a video about your lighting setup and how you record audio for A6000. Thank you so much
Hey Abdel, thank you so much for the nice comment! I partially answer your questions in this video ruclips.net/video/BMqSX0GAtrQ/видео.html regarding the audio. But regarding the light, I will be making a video in a week or two about it so stay tuned my friend!
@@TomsJurjaks Thank you so much, highly appreciated, and can't wait to see your future videos. Good luck ^^
What you think is better, Sony a6000 + sigma 16mm 1.4 or Fuji xt30 + 16mm 2.8?
Although Fuji XT30 is MUCH better camera than a6000 and you only let me chose between those two setups -I would still go with a6000 because of the Sigma 16mm f1.4 lens which is the sharpest lens I have ever used. It doesn't matter how good camera you use, if you put a lens with not so good AF and not so good sharpness - then your images will be average quality. Lens is always more important than the camera, however if you intend to use lots of different lenses - then go with Fuji.
@@TomsJurjaks Thanks for your help man!
A bit late to the party, but only just found your channel yesterday. Great video and nice B-Roll shots. I'm just starting with photography and looking for good affordable lens options. As a newbie I'm worrying about ruining my equipment by being careless. Are these lenses "weathersealed"? Is that an important feature to consider?
Hey Björn and welcome to the family 🙌 really glad you left a comment here. To reply to your question, well, I'm mostly using non-weather sealed cameras and lenses and yes, I do get them wet once in a while from splashes of waves when doing ocean photos or from rain (as you can imagine here in Denmark rains a lot). But I am not as crazy as some landscape photographers that leave their camera in rain for hours. If it gets wet, i just wipe them off. They are more durable then what you think my friend. Also I suggest to always use the lens hood (for whatever lens you use). They greatly protect the glass from bumps, scratches etc . Always use lens caps when putting them in bag and don't worry - you will do great in your photography journey 🙌
@@TomsJurjaks Hey, thanks for the warm welcome. That's very reassuring considering the Danish weather is probably just as bad as the German one😅. Have you ever shot in tropical conditions (hot and high humidity)? Do you think weather sealing is necessary there?
Yeah German weather can definitely be even worse @@bjornbuker6774 and yes, I have shot in Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia. I have never had any issues. I think most importantly is where you store your gear. If you have a room with AC and you dont leave it outside in that humidity 24/7 you should be fine. I think the weather sealing thing is really for extreme use like someone spending hours in rain, days in jungle or just in some storm 😀 I think for us, normal, casual shooters, it is not necessary. The gear is sturdy enough to withstand weather elements for short amount of time.
Great video thanks.👍
Would you know what functions are best for shooting an a6000 and sigma 16 mm during sunlight, I am having a hard time taking good pictures and videos
Good review,by the way what do you think about sigma 30mm f 1.4 for portrait?
Thanks Mas! And Sigma 30mm is amazing for potraits. Much better than 16mm. You can also check 50mm f1.4 from Sigma. For portraits it will also be an excellent camera. They all are super sharp and affordable.
Hi Toms thanks for your video that came in time.. I was already planning to sell my kidney man 😀😀 well it is a great review thanks tk care 😊
I love to use it on my Sony a6400
Great video my dude! Is it all recorded with the a6000? Even the shot in your house?
Thanks buddy! Almost everything is shot with a6000 (especially inside the house) only few shots outside were taken with GoPro.
@@TomsJurjaks wow, thats great to know. Keep it up man!
perfect vid
Thanks!
Hi Toms Jurjaks, after watching your videos about the first camera for beginner, i choosed Sony A6000 as your suggestion. And now after using Kit lens (16-50) i'm gonna choose the Sigma len for improving my photography quality. As a beginner, I haven't defined my kind of photography but i like to take photos in normal life, portrailt, friends group, landscape... and a little bit videography. As your experience, can you suggest the suitable and best budget lens for me? Thanks you from a fan in Vietnam
Thank you friend! I would then recommend you this lens: amzn.to/3PXnzbH the Sigma 30mm f1.4. The 30mm focal length is perfect for your needs. Very versatile.
What did you crank your shutter speed too
Nice video bud!!! How about the sigma 56mm f1.8? what do you think of this lens? cheers!
You mean 56mm f1.4? If so - its absolutely amazing lens. Also Sigma 30mm f1.4 👌
Do you think I could use this lens also for product photography, or should I buy 50mm?
You can use it, but something like 30mm would be better. Just make sure it has close focusing distance
@Toms Jurjaks I had a dilemma about 30mm 1.4 and 50mm 1.8
50mm f1.8 FE or OSS? Don’t get FE. Instead I would be choosing between Sigma 30mm f1.4 vs Sigma 56mm f1.4
Lot better build quality and insane sharpness
Nice work.
i have sigma 60 mm 2.8 for my sony a 6000. dear sir which lens u suggest for me sigma 18-50 mm or sigma 16mm or sony 18-105 . i do only photography no videography
Hi, i have sony a6000 with two kit lenses, the thing is I'm not satisfied with those lenses which one should i add on. Please recommend me best one.
Quick question how did you get the background separation on you GoPro 8
Amazing bro
Wow nice job guys
Thanks so much Slamet!
Wooow gdansk 🥰🥰♥
I miss gdansk
Is it possible to get higher aperture numbers?
Oh and your video's are awsome and funny!
f1.4 is the widest aperture of this lens. But you can close it down to f16. Haha and thanks Aminam 🙌
Toms Jurjaks
Thanks for telling me🙏
Where do i score a a6000 for 200.00 300.00? Im goin try to go with this set up for my maker videos. Love the videos and channel. You rock
Yo, whats up Mischief! Thanks a lot for your kind words. 399$ you can grab new, but I got mine secondhand (with shuttercount 900) for 300. Someone on one of my other videos commented that he got used from B&H if Im not mistaken used for 250$. Look around and you might be in luck! Lemme know how it goes tho 💪
@@TomsJurjaks I've looked everywhere eBay B&H Amazon and everything is looking to be 400 and more. But some of them come with a kit lens the epz Caitlin I will look at bnh again I found one on eBay that will be around 4:50 I'm on a really tight budget. I make videos for our local library teaching children science. My version of mr. Wizard LOL thank you so much for your reply I appreciate it and looking for the sigma 16 mm lens for my Christmas present. Any suggestions to where I may find that for a decent price B&H?
Hmm not sure how to help you. The guy bought Sigma 35mm f1.4 along with the camera both used like new on B&H. I think its just a matter of time for price to drop. Since the camera is discontinued, stores won't keep them forever (my guess) so hopefully in next 2 weeks around Christmas you will get some price drop. And the Sigma 16mm will make you really happy for your science projects - you can get real close to objects and with that f1.4 isolate the object so well from the background. Such a cool thing you are doing for them kids. Keep it up🤘
@@TomsJurjaks thank you very much. I may actually hibt down the 6100 the lack of flip screen 120 in 1080 and Mic port are kind worth the extra cash for the 6100. Ive been hunting for weeks statted with the 5100 but after hours of research i figured the extra is worth it since i wont be upgrading anythime soon but the sigma lens is on my wish list for sure
@@MischiefOne the a6100 is definitely a major upgrade with all the things you mentioned. If you can't find the a6000 for decent price - get the a6100 if there is a good deal. And it makes perfect sense since you will be using the camera for years. It will definitely pay off. Good luck brother 🙌
Great video I have the same set up and love it
Hell yeah 💪🔥
Superb bro❤️😁
Hi, is the sigma 56mm 1.4 good for product photography and maybe filming products as well ?
I'm not an expert for product photography, but for that the most important thing is a tripod and good light. You could even use your kit lens to get decent product photos. But for videos - both the Sigma 16mm, Sigma 30mm and Sigma 56mm will be good, although maybe the 56mm would make you step a bit more back if you have a bigger product to film. I shot this b-roll with the 16mm ruclips.net/video/RNQ16XJt8gg/видео.html but probably the 30mm is the best I guess (even though I havent actually tried it)
@@TomsJurjaks thank you 😊
Do you charge for your editing ...your work & vision is amazing
Thank you so much! No, I don't earn money with photography. Purely a hobby for me. Maybe one day will do something, who knows 🤷♂️
Wonder how it is for twitch streaming🤗🤔
It's great! Cuz it has quite a wide angle, you can easily put it above your monitor. I use it even for remote meetings with clients 😀 and shallow depth of field makes it really nice to blur the background 👌
Best lens for car photography? Currently have a a6000 🙃
It could be. However, I would probably go with very wide angle zoom lens. You probably also will want to take photos of interrior and there you might need wider angle. If you have the budget to get 2 lenses, this or 30mm Sigma would be amazing addition 🤟
@@TomsJurjaks I personally find bigger focal lengths better for car photography. I currently own two Sigmas - 30mm and 56mm (f1.4). They're both great but I prefer to use 56mm almost all the time. The bokeh, compression and sharpness is amazing with this lens. 30mm is also great, but has too much fringing which is hard to get rid of even in Lightroom and the final effects are juuust a little bit less impressive ;). I am thinking of replacing the 30mm with 16mm for some cityscapes, landscapes and in general for wider shots, which I think would be a nice lineup with 56mm. Now if I only could find a good quality zoom that doesn't also break the bank... ;)
0:07 Damn I would love to put a sigma on my Zenit. What a concept! xD
When you don't have 2 cameras and have to improvise 😂
@@TomsJurjaks Gotta appreciate the resourcefulness.
Hey man ive been coming back to this video a couple times last 3 months and deciding on a camera, im able to get a sony a6000 set with both sigma 16mm & 30mm or a sony a6300 with 16-50mm kitlens. I guess i should go with the sony a6000? Or do you think the sony a6300 would be better and buy a sigma 16mm later
Hey buddy! What is the main purpose for you getting a camera? If it is photos, then 100% a6000 will be enough and you wont feel a difference between a6000 and a6300 and it would be great to have extra lenses.
If it is video making you are interested in - then a6300 is a way to go. You won't be able to make good videos with kit lena so you still will have to find a good lens as soon as you can afford it.
Dang those shots are lit 🔥 for your b-roll lighting, did you use the rgb light that you reviewed?
Thanks bro 💪 Yup, all those colorful shots are lit with the RGB light - need to make use if it haha
@@TomsJurjaks that looks cool. Do you have a recommendation of a canon lens that is kind of the equivalent of this one?
@@jimmydaniel4167 Sigma makes this exact lens also for Canon EF-M mount if thats what you have.
@@TomsJurjaks Ah I see, thank you. No I actually don't have a camera yet I'm still saving to get one haha but I think I'm gonna go with a canon camera
Sure mate. Any camera will do the job. Just be aware that Canon has different mounts. If im not mistaken they have the EF, EF-S and EF-M mount. I think the EF lens fits both on EF and EF-S but not on EF-M mount. And EF-M is the mirrorless version and they have rather limited selection of lenses (compared to Canon EF or Sony E-mount). So my advice is that instead of choosing camera, check what lenses it will fit as that will matter in a long run. But please double check the info I just said cuz I haven't used Canon for like 2-3 years soI might be bit lying here and there haha
Hi Tom! I am Miguel from 2megapixels Channel, content Creator like you, doing specially mobile content, reviews, unboxing, camera reviews..
Normally I film myself with mobiles but recently I bought a Lumix lx15 ( compact camera with flip screen and 4k ) but it is small, I keep having It, but yesterday I bought the Sony a6000 to work with it because my pc is old and not powerfull for work good with 4k files..
So, my question is..
Do you think it's nice option that camera for my type of content?
And, I am thinking about to buy the Sigma 16 or 30mm!
What do you think is better for this?
And ¿ Do you think is a problem to film in 1080/60 instead of 4k un 2021/22?
Thanks dude!
Hey buddy and thanks for your question! As always, I would say that the most important thing is the content, the value you provide and very good audio. Rest can be secondary (look at my most popular video - it was filmed with GoPro 😁). A6000 is good beginners camera, but not as good for videos. If I were you - I would stick with 4K and your Lumix and make sure you use PROXIES. I have the same issue as you (slow computer) and proxies help sssooooo much editing 4K videos.
I would leave a6000 for photos - it is amazing photo camera, especially with those 2 Sigma lenses 👌
@@TomsJurjaks thanks for the answer bro..
But, do you think its better the 4k of the LUMIX LX15 instead of the 1080/60 Sony a6000?
I like so much the Sony but i know its 1080.
But most of the people watch RUclips with the phone..
Just wow !
Btw u need to try it too, like u were tried 85mm f1.8 sony lens. I’m waiting that video oke with this lens
Alright, I will do that 🙌
what about the sigma 30mm??
It is also amazing lens Marquez, same as Sigma 56mm. You can't go wrong with any of these 3 lenses.
Hi. I own the a6600 & sigma 16mm 1.4 I’ve been trying to do videos like yours but they never come out as good. Any recommendations on Sony settings to get colors like yours? Are you using a custom picture profile? Please help!
Hey buddy! I put the least possible effort in colors. A6000 doesn't even have Picture Profiles, so I set contrast and saturation to -2. For a6400 I shoot in PP10 with HLG2 and again, I need to do very little for color correction. Hope it helps!
Good job, nice footage and thanks for sharing your experience with us.
I have the sigma 56 1.4 and Sony 6000 & 6400 that I use for video and photos.
A big Like & Sub for you.
Oh wow that's a mad setup you got there my friend! Whenever someone is asking about prime lenses, I always recommend the Sigma 30 or 56mm, such awesome peace of glass. And thanks so much for the sub. I really appreciate it 🙌
@@TomsJurjaks You deserve more subscribers but you know RUclips...You have to wait and upload regularly. Other that that , yes Sigma prime lenses are the best. I will buy the 16 & 30 mm when i found them with a good price. Have fun & I wish you the best!
Yeah you know the struggle of RUclips 😁 @@chhiwateamina1948 but thanks for the kind words. Btw I bought mine 16mm 5 months old, looking like new for only 300$ still with 2 year warranty. Look out for a deal like that maybe. Good luck 🙌
@@TomsJurjaks Thanks :)
The combo is 🔥 indeed. Nice B-Roll😎. What are your thoughts on an a6000 + 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM | A? Is it worth it? Will there will a difference between 1.4mm/1.8mm?
Levian, I honestly didn't even know someone makes a zoom lens with f1.8 🙉 Im more familiar with Full Frame lenses so I was not aware of this Sigma lens. It seems pretty cool tbh and I would probably go with the zoom lens vs the prime. You won't feel the difference between f1.4 vs f1.8 because the bokeh at f1.4 on 16mm feels "less" than compared to f1.8 at 35mm (the longer the focal length, the more blurry the background will be). It all comes down to your budget too. Sigma 16mm can be copped for 300$ (slightly used) but the zoom is x2 more if im not mistaken. But definitely worth to consider.
@@TomsJurjaks got it 👍, thanks for the info. ❤
I'm a beginner in photography, I'm considering the a6000 as my first camera. If I can only have 1 lens among Sony E 50mm f1.8, Sony 18-105mm f4 and Sigma 16mm f1.4. Can u help me to pick one of them for these following circumstances (portrait, group, travel, street,...). Thanks for your help - From Vietnam with luv 🥰🥰🥰
Hey Khoa! a6000 is going to be a perfect first camera. Photo capabilities are still excellent for this camera. Regarding the lens, since you can only get one and you need it to be versatile - I would go with the Sony 18-105mm zoom lens. It is excellent all arounder that can be used in bunch of occasions. It is not going to be the best lens in each category you mentioned, but it does cover all categories. When you can get a second lens, definitely buy a prime lens: 24, 35 or 50mm f1.8. doesn't matter the brand. Any of those will be perfect for portraits and street photography. Good luck my friend 🙌🇻🇳
So about the prime lens, which lens (16, 35 or 50mm) is most suitable for my case. I heard that Sigma 16mm is the sharpest lens for a6000 so I am interested in having it but I don't know that is it too hard to take portrait than the 50mm for a beginner like me or not?
16mm Sigma is definitely on of the sharpest lenses for Sony E Mount and application is quite large, however I would say it would be used a lot for videos@@khoatrinhchan6841 For photos and especially for portraits I could recommend rather the Sigma 30mm f1.4. It is as sharp as the Sigma 16mm and costs also very little compared to other lenses.
Okay thanks for your help Toms. Best wishes for you, hope that your channel will be better and better. Gud luck my friend 😊
Thank you for your best wishes@@khoatrinhchan6841 Im glad I could help you. And good luck for you too 🙌
What about photos with flash with this lens ?
I've never in my life used a flash. Not the built-in, nor external so I can't tell you that my friend. Nevertheless, I think it performs great no matter what.
may i know what type of SD Card are you using for the camera itself?
I mostly trust in SanDisk. Looking forward to test some other cards in near future too.
How did u get the blur out of gopro hero 8?
Sorry mate, I screwed up a bit with the text. It was shot on Sony
@@TomsJurjaks I was really surprised to see that quality from a gopro. As I own both of the gears u used. Great video though. U made me buy this lens. Thank you!
Is this combo good for car Shootings? And shootings for driving Cars?
It is quite a wide angle so it is perfect for establishing shots of car in the environment or interior shots. You can also use it for driving car shots but as I said the car will seem a bit in distance. If that is what you aim for - then its perfect. The quality is super good so nothing to worry about there. I would probably go with a mid range zoom lens as it would allow more flexibility, especially for driving cars.
@@TomsJurjaks thanks for the answer :D so which mid range zoom lense would you prefer to buy for flexibility and especially for take pictures of driving cars? :-)
Either the Tamron 17-70 f2.8 or Sigma 18-50 f2.8 depending on if you care for lens being small and compact @@markoswelt918 I made the video about Sigma 18-50 - check it out on my channel.

Could you recommend what lens filter you would go with when using the sigma 16mm lens?

If the a6000 getting discontinued...will I get customer service for it?
If you buy a new one in store then of course. In Europe we have 2 year warranty. If something goes wrong with the camera and Sony is not able to fix it, they will refund you fully, so no worries, go grab yours!
What is the software you use for editing ?
Im using Adobe Lightroom. You can check one of my latest videos to see how I use it to edit my pictures!
What lens good for action/sports photography????
You probably need a telephoto lens to "get close" to the action. You can check out some Tamron zoom lenses. Affordable price, excellent quality and good aperture 👌
What lens is best for food photography
Not an expert in that but probably would go with a zoom lens that has close focal distance. I wouldnt even bother about crazy f-stop. I think whats more important is to have a tripod and good light.
Awesome thank you !! Got my camera yesterday and have no idea about all these things .
Take it easy bro @@realthing00 Do a lot of research and don't rush on buying gear. Also take everything you see/read with a grain of salt as everyone has their opinion/styles/preferences.

One of the pictures is edited with Copenhagen preset, other 2 with other presets from my shop. But I recommend the Copenhagen preset the most. It works on so many pictures.

In India this lens is 35000 rupees.
Please reply me.
In Denmark it is little bit more expensive. I bought used for less. Btw you can use google to check the prices in different countries.
On 1:00, you say that it is recorded on gorpo, but how do you get that bokeh effect out of it ? I personally own a hero 8 but my videos from it but I don’t have any bokeh, or Is it recorded on some normal camera and you just put a wrong label there. I am so curious.
Or did you add there some blur in the editing ?
Oh damn you got me there buddy 😁 It was shot on a6000 + Sigma 16mm f1.4. I messed up the labels there haha
Unfortunately GoPro has never been able to get any depth/bokeh but I wish... Sorry about the confusion Lukáš😁
With a6000 with x1.5 Is 25mm?
Yes, to be precise it would be 24.5 mm. You can use this simple site to make calculations for other focal lengths too www.omnicalculator.com/other/crop-factor
Hello Toms, i hope you will see this message and respond cuz i need a little help. As first as, i bought a6000 with 16mm f1.4 sigma last year, took many photos but they look so freaking bad. Im totally stupid about photography but i love photos. 2nd thing is that i maybe maded mistake cuz in some videos people says that 16mm sigma is not good for portrait and sometimes when im trying to take portrait i need to come really close to person.
Also, im shooting at 4:3 scale but dont know if that camera have zoom in/out fck... 😕
Hey Alex, don't worry too much, because there is a solution to all of your problems. First, why does these pictures look bad? Because the lens is super sharp and capable. Maybe you simply need to give it some more time to learn photography and get better.
Second, well yes, this lens is not the most common to use for portraits. In general a 35, 50 or 85mm lenses are more common for portraits. Sigma has 30mm and also 56mm f1.4. You should try one of those for portraits.
This 16mm lens is best for taking videos.
And it is a prime lens so of course you can not zoom in, don't be frustrated. Its the type of lens. If you wanna zoom in you need a zoom lens. With prime lens you zoom by coming closer with your feet :)
Hope it helps!
@@TomsJurjaks Well, thanks for super fast answer my friend.
Uhm.. did i made mistake by buying 16mm for portrait cuz its not that good for portraits. :/ And by far, i need to buy 30mm 😑
As i told you im a beginner and primarly i want to shoot some photos for posting on instagram and those are portraits.
Think of it as a learning lesson rather than a mistake 🙂 Now you will know that it takes A LOT of time to do a research of gear before you buy it. If your primary goal is portraits then 16mm is not the best lens (especially for beginners). Its a great lens but its best used for other purposes. But don't worry, try to sell it or exchange it against Sigma 30mm f1.4 or Sigma 56mm f1.4. Both of those lenses will be amazing for portraits!
@@TomsJurjaks Yes, im thinking about it. Which one you prefer? 30mm or 56? Just your opinion
56mm as its more "zoomed in" and works very well with half body portraits, BUT it can be bit more challenging so for beginners I guess 30mm is bit more common. Still creates awesome portraits and can be used also for full body shots, cars, street/architecture photos etc
Did you use a gymbal
A tripod which I sometimes was just holding in my hands or resting against my knee
@@TomsJurjaks that footage is so steady
Thanks mate, lots of parts were also hand-held, but when you shoot 60fps and slow it down in post, it looks smoother. Also using the wide angle lens (16mm) helps to "hide" the shake a bit.@@dvcmarquez5327
I have the 16 mm f 1,4 sigma :)
And a new A6000
0.58 is it possible to blur background on gopro
Not really! I might have filmed that part with Sony camera and just mixed up the titles 😬
@@TomsJurjaks oh ..i have another doubt😊if we have a camera with kit lens 16 -50mm then why did people buy 50mm,30mm prime lens.16 to 50mm has already on the kit lens.
Its because the kit lens does not have good aperture. All prime lenses can go to f1.8 or even 1.4 and 1.2 that gives you that super nice blurry background@@mahirshoukath also they area usually cheaper, lighter, smaller and pictures come out higher quality. But you lose versatility.
thanks for the replay..great channel ...you deserve more sub
This is the lens I should get for vlogging and other stuffs after I got the money ofc. My 90mm F 2.8 G lens just arrive and its just ripped my wallet 😂.
And here I am dreaming one day I could get that 90mm F2.8 😍 Great purchase Andi! And sure it wont hurt you getting Sigma 16mm 🤘

Settings of what Badhon? I've never used DaVinchi so I don't know how to help you

@@TomsJurjaks all others told me to buy for making wedding videos. It is good and sharp. But I like 18-105 F4 and 70-200 f2. 8 more..
