  • ▶Hey everyone! In this video I compare the minimum focusing distance between the Sony 16-50mm kit lens, the Sigma 16mm f1.4, the Sony 18-105 f4 G, and the Sony 35mm f1.8. I love lenses that have a short minimum focusing distance. It gives a nice perspective when trying to get the finer details of objects. Hopefully this shows you what minimum focus distance is, and how it looks on these 4 lenses! Thanks for checking this video out and hopefully I taught you something about photography and the gear used to capture great photos!

Thanks for sharing brother. And by the way is this the same place that you and Meg moved into back when you were a vlogging channel? Or for that matter when I was doing MP vlogs. Or am I just confused all the way around?

      We’ve been here for a little over 2 years. It’s a carriage house. I did weekly vlogs here but not the daily vlogs. Unfortunately we have to move in May due to the township determining we can’t live here bc of a bullshit rule that our landlord honestly didn’t mean to break. Long story. So we’ll be in a new place sometime in 2020, even though we love this place.

      Sigma makes 3 E Mount APSC lenses. 16mm, 30mm, and 56mm all f1.4. No adapter. The canon lens I talk about I don’t have an adapter for and doubt there is one for it (EF-M).

  • @danny3303
    @danny3303 4 года назад +2

    Interesting comparison! By the way, you could also switch to manual focus mode, turn the focus ring to minimum, turn on focus peaking, and move the camera until the subject is in focus :) perhaps that would make it a bit more accurate as you won't have to rely on the autofocus system. Get well soon!

      hikyletaggart unfortunately i did. I got rid all of my aps-c kit to get my a7iii. I had all three of those lenses and loved them all. I have toyed with getting the sigma again when i picked up my a6000. But it’s tough since it’s an crop sensor lens and won’t translate completely to the full frame. But if i find it for the right price!

      I've heard good things about the Tamron lenses, and if you feel the A7III or something like it is on the horizon, I think it's a good move. Maybe not a bunch of full frame lenses, but maybe one to start. See how it feels, and then go from there. Thanks for the support!

    I think the min focus distant is calculated from sensor to subject, looking at where your hand position on the table, the sigma and kit is roughly the same? just the sigma is so much longer physically, it seems like ur getting very close

    • @kyletaggart

      They were both shot at 16mm. If the minimum focus distance was the same, the image should be the same. Think there is some variance in it.

    I don't know if it's fair for a big zoom lens like the 18-105 to be included... I mean it has a wide range and also the 16-50mm could zoom all the way in and then compare the pics with the bokeh
    Nobody would use those zoom lenses like that for the little figure as the subject.
    This needs a remake and then compare the pics again(zoom lenses fully zoomed in and the primes stay the same)
    The distance was not necessary in this case.. we want to know the minimal distance while completely zoomed in!

  • @madmax1412
    @madmax1412 2 года назад

    I have the Sony 18-105 lens. I found out one thing through use and that is with a zoom lens, the minimum focus distance seems to increase as you zoom in.
    For example, @ 18mm your sensor has to be 0.45m away from subject. One would think you could keep that distance away and then zoom in to fill your frame with the subject. Nope.
    I have tropical fish and want to get some photos where the small fish fill the frame but I can't. Having to step back further as I zoom so it will focus means my subject is the same size in the photo.
    Is this how minimum focusing on a zoom works or am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks

  • @lasmyth9656
    @lasmyth9656 4 года назад +1

    Also people need to take into consideration, if not needing a 6000 X 4000 snap, then can crop in for close up, OR, with zoom lens, stand back and zoom in, composing closer shot, even with great blurred backgrounds if some distance between subject matter and background.
    Options abound, if having the room.
    An extreme example, the FE200600G, with a 2.5 meter min. focus distance, not cropped:
