HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- The Sigma 18-50 f2.8 DC DN is the smallest, lightest and least expensive Sony E-Mount Aps-c Lens available! But did they have to cut any corners to make it that way? In this practical hands-on review of the new Sigma lens, we'll take a look at the video and photo capabilities of this lens by actually going out and putting it to work and testing it in real-world situations.

Got mine last week and already put it through it’s paces, in a sports shoot and indoor event. Paired with an ZV E10, OMG this is a beautiful combo! I am seriously questioning the existence of half my gear closest fill with big FF bodies and lenses! (Yes, this combo is that good!). Yes, certain use cases at the extremes will probably benefit from more expensive gear. But for the vast majority of use cases for most people, this lens (and a ZV E10) is more than enough! :). After 20+ years of dealing with massive camera gear, my arms and back thanks this! And for those claiming no OSS….it’s light enough that you can go get an Crane M2 if you really wanted. It would still be cheaper and lighter than other solutions.
Love this! Thanks for sharing!
@@dunnadidit When the people from my indoor-event saw the final pics, one person reached out and asked whatcamera and lens I used, as she wants to buy one too....cause we aaaaaalllll know that beautiful images are a function of the gear and not the photog. 😏 lol But in this case, there may be some truth to it. hahaha
Haha they help but they’re only part of the equation.
@@dunnadidit UPDATE: I am currently flying the ZV-E10 + SIgma 18-50 on the new Crane M3 gimbal....wow! It's fantastic!!! It's amazing how far camera tech has come, especially in the last few years.
I actually own a ZV-E10 with Sigma 18-50 f2.8 and the Crane M2.
Amazing how such a tiny setup can get a really professional looking work
I believe this is a revolutionary lens in sony apsc ecosystem. All the other zoom options were kindda big and heavy and also pricy. Just wished it was 16mm wide then it was just perfect! I hope sigma got a plan to make wide and tele versions soon too!
I think they made it exactly as wide and long and fast as they could while staying within the size limitations they had set for them selves.
If it were even a little wider or longer or faster, it would have to be bigger.
I bought one as soon as I could, and it's the perfect do-everything lens for my a6600.
And way less than a thousand dollars!
It would have been, had it been dust and splash resistant!
And also they m u s t add image stabilization to this lens in order to be the ultimate inexpensive zoom also for video work with the sony 6xxx line of cameras without IBIS
I think that will make it more bulky and heavier too.
A tele would be super nice!
This past summer I picked up the Tamron 17-70 for my a6400, but I feel it’s too big. Wondering if I should sell it and pick up this sigma
This and the sigma 16 1.4 will also be great options for new a7iv owners who will be shooting 4K 60 (or just want to shoot super 35 to avoid rolling shutter)
Truth! I showed some stuff from this lens on the a7iv in my review for that camera!
Full frame owners buying apsc lens, why? They can just use their existing FE lenses even in super 35.
@@zakiradi450 most full frame lenses don’t go that wide, and those that do are much more expensive and are much larger
@@zakiradi450 because a full frame 16-35 f2.8 is significantly more expensive than an APS-C 18-50 f2.8.
@@TechnoBabble much heavier too, just to add it:)
I am amazed at how you record videos, that hike, with the variety of shots, place a tripod, record myself passing in front of the tripod, picking up the tripod again... instead of 4 hours, I would have taken me twice for sure!! I sure would have had to bring the sleeping bag just in case it was getting too late 🤣
I don't have much experience shooting videos, although I would love to know how ... watching videos like this, it overwhelms me and gives me the feeling that I am going to come home with a lot of footage impossible to put together and create such a wonderful story as the one you have made.
Haha well if it’s any consolation, I was originally planning on also walking home and closing the loop but I got my wife to come pick me up instead haha.
You do end up with lots of footage but the more you do it, the better you get at only shooting what is necessary. And you also get better at quickly chopping through the unnecessary stuff too.
True man❤️
Owkay Lens we all know is great. But, I have to say Dunna, your film making is another level. The hard work which you have put into taking tiny shots. Incredible!! One Banger of a Video!🙌🙌🙌
Thank you so much!
Great report. Very useful.
Recently bought this lens for my Sony A6400 and have been super pleased with it. Great images, sharp with excellent colour rendition, super fast and accurate focussing and a useful macro range that I’m not sure you mentioned.!
What a great place to do city walks.
Glad I read your review, I ordered this lens should be in tomorrow. Can't wait. I am also using A6400.
As a stills photographer I don’t think stabilization is really an issue with this lens. I’ve been in low light situations with the iso boosted, and everything came out pretty decent as long as I kept a shutter speed of 1/160 or faster. I love the color and I love what the image looks like through this glass. It feels like I upgraded my a6400. This is now my go to lens when I leave the house. It’s not a perfect lens, but it’s darn good enough for me. I’m very impressed with the sigma glass I have so far.
Thank you for saying that. I feel like everyone is arguing that the lack of stabilization makes it unusable and I’m like “are you serious?” Glad you hear you’re liking it!
@@dunnadidit Might be nice to teach new amateur photographers the art of not moving when taking stills. I have for many years shot with a Pentax Spotmatic F all the way to the mighty Nikon F2A. There was no stabilization on any lens or body and still got fantastic pictures.
I am planning to buy it for my A6400 and my only concern was lack of stablisation. Thanks for the comment
@@dunnadidit Even for video? I'm about this close to pull the trigger on the a6400+18-50 f2.8 but I do a lot of video art (experimental documentary style, so nothing "cinematic") and I'm worried the videos will look to shaky esp at 50mm. What do you think?
It feels like coming a bit late to the party, but man, you did a great job here. I enjoyed every minute from hiking to discussing the pros and cons of the lens. Nice little hiking tour with great pics and scenery. Edmonton does not seem a bad place, eh?
Amazing video as usual. I can see it took a lot of efforts in making this video. Very good job!
This would be a format I'd like to have on full frame. A tiny 18-50 for my A7Siii would be so nice for vlogging with my band.
500 bucks and it is yours🤓
I LITERALLY ran around my house when I saw the review from Arthur R! Great to see your take on it. I was going to go with the Sigma 16-35mm with the MC-11 adapter for my a6600, but I am loving the form factor of this lens. I believe Sigma was trying to pack as many features into a smaller form factor. They wanted the width of the lens to not extend past the height of an a6x00 / sigma body. For a fraction of the Sony 16-55 2.8, its a no brainer.
Haha I imagined you running around your house.
Great job Dunna! I feel like this is such a good release for APS-C camera's. It has a few limitations but it comes in at a price that makes it a no brainier. I've been really enjoying testing this one out for the past few weeks.
It’s a solid release for sure!
I know it’s been awhile since you did this review but thank you. I decided to try out the newest A6700 this past summer and bought this lens used. Since I already own full size full frame cameras and lenses I went small and got this. Sigma rewarded me by announcing the small brother 10-18/2.8 DC DN Contemporary to pair with it for an ultra light kit. Body has OK stabilization so a great travel/hiking combo. Admit still drawn to A7CII or A7CR since it also so small. The full frame 16-28/2.8 and 28-70/2.8 DG DN Contemporaries are both smaller/lighter than the APS-C Tamron and Sony lenses as well. Just not as small and compact as these small Sigmas. Take care.
Woww! Video example part is so good. Best way to review a product at the same time give us the audience some amusement.
Thanks for saying that!
I’ve been considering this for my Sigma FP, combined with the APS-C mode on that camera it could make for quite the powerful combo!
Although this len is meant to be a compact and buget one, your composition and grading make it feel like 10 times more expensive. It's unbelievable you did the whole video example using only the a6600 + 18-50 f2.8. Did you use a gimbal in this one?
And to my eyes it's kinda sharp enough lol. I'm watching your video on a 32" 2K monitor and don't find this len's sharpness an issue. Also the bokeh is beautiful.
My reference for sharpness comparison is the Sigma 16mm 1.4, which I only use for video shooting though. And it doesn't look sharper than this one. Are videos always gonna be less sharp than photos?
First of all:
Omg, I really love your studio-setup. Its getting better and better with every video :)
You are always one of me greatest sources for inspiration, Dunna 🙏🙏
Thank you so much!!!
Got mine last week. Absolutely love it! Tons of versatility and good low light performance too.
great video, I would love to start to see some comparison now versus other zoom lenses; in fact, even though I know this lens to be more of a wide zoom it would be great to see a video against the TAMRON 11-20MM F/2.8. Thanks and keep up the great work.
I've been waiting for this review and enjoyed it a lot. The image quality looks fantastic. And the size makes me with I didn't already have the 17-70. I do enjoy the VC though. Also, what backpack is that?
It’s the Shimoda Explore 35L v2 and I am kind of in love with it lately.
The colors are so amazing, this is SDR too, so much effort must have gone into color grading!!!
Looks like a great lens, and quite a bit lighter than my Sigma 18-35! I love woodpeckers. We have a few that hang around our bird feeders. :)
I also have the 18-35 f1.8 and I'm so torn between the light weight and portability of the new lens vs the extra aperture of the 18-35. Can't decide!
I found a used minty 18-50mm f/2.8 Sigma lens for my A6600. I love this little lens because of its weight and size. It is a joy to carry around and the image quality is excellent. However, if I were to shoot portraits, I prefer a slightly longer focal length. My 28-75mm f/2.8 Tamron is a better choice for me when I am shooting people. The 75mm or 112.5mm equivalent is just about the minimum I like to use for head and shoulder portraits. However, my Sony 85mm f/1.8 is also nice lightweight addition to the 18-50mm when I know I will be shooting head and shoulder portraits, The 127.5mm equivalent is great and the f/1.8 aperture allows me to blur out busy backgrounds. It is also a nice fast short telephoto addition to the Sigma.
After shooting with this dandy little lens for several months - it basically lives on my A6600. I am quite happy with the image quality and don't miss the lack of stabilization. However, I do wish that it had internal focusing for use on a gimbal.
Another wish is that Sigma would come out with a matching lightweight longer focal length zoom lens with a constant aperture. A 70-150mm f/2.8 (or even f/4.0) lens for APSC cameras would be a dandy lens for a second APSC camera. If Sigma came out with a lens like this constructed with the same materials - I would carry that combination (I have an A6400 also) all over the world.
Yes, I have the 70-350mm Sony as well as the 70-200mm f/4 Sony but, I would sacrifice the extra length of the 70-350mm for a constant, wider aperture and I would sacrifice some of the focal range of the 70-200mm and also sacrifice the full frame capability of that lens for a lighter weight lens.
If someone needs a wider focal length lens, the little Samyang/Rokinon f/2 12mm UWA lens would be great. I owned a manual focus version of that lens and wish that I had not sold it.
When traveling, I always like to have a second camera along. I damaged a Canon DSLR climbing a ridge in Alaska but, my second camera body saved the trip for me.
A fellow tourist on a trip to China fell on a rough street in Xian and broke his Nikon body. He was not able to shoot any pictures until we arrived in Hong Kong where he bought a replacement body.
I learned my lesson regarding traveling with just one camera.
You know, I never knew Edmonchuck was so pretty until I started watching your vids. That lens is quite nice. I'll have to take a look and see if they have a Canon equivalent.
Haha I think most people don’t know how pretty it can be!
Great review, Nice scenery. Really appreciate the way you test out the new lenses (and the cameras too).
9 Km in 5 hours, plus loads fo B-rolls along the way.
Haha yeah it’s usually a significantly shorter walk lol
Great little hike! Definitely got nothing on the mountains, but nice to get out non the less!
Agreed!
Beautiful! I came to learn about lenses but stayed for the vlog yes I did enjoy that
THATS WHAT SHE SAID
I’m sorry to hear that
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@dunnadidit 😂😂😂great reply
Doesn't make sense🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
Nicely done.
Regarding the mechanics of the video shoot portion, wondered how many KM (as a solo shooter/actor) you did on that 9 KM hike? Assume you have to set the camera in place, start it recording, go to the starting point, do the walk by/walk toward/walk away, then go back to the camera and stop/retrieve the camera. Are there tricks/tips you have found to make the process less onerous?
Haha 9km was what my watch said, so it’s probably actually only an 8km hike. I’m sure the doubling back probably totaled an extra km. And no… I really don’t have any ways to make it easier. Well, I guess I started just carrying my tripod half set up instead of putting it back in my backpack every time. Maybe that’s one way. But other than that… it’s pretty much what you’d expect
Wich the best image quality sigma 18-50 or sony 35mm f1. 8?
Dunna did it! He actually reviewed this lens I’ve been wanting!
NOICE! Hope this was helpful!
novice here. what picture profile was this shot in and how do you determine what white balance to shoot with when you're shooting outside like this?
SLOG2, S-GAMUT3.CINE, +15 saturation,
I went with shady I believe for white balance.
I really LOVE your video color grading. it's BEAUTIFUL! very satisfying.
Just wonder if there any setting i could use actual aperture ring on my sigma 18-50 lense?
Am using zv e 1
Thanks
I love the form factor of this lens and was even considering it for the a7r4 in aps-c mode. It is not the build quality of their I series compact lenses (a joy to use) but very versatile in terms of weight - optics & price.
I just got the sigma 28-70 dg dn and that thing is really small and sharp for a zoom. Also nicely priced and it is barely bigger than the apsc 16mm 1.4 lens!
@@realMDizzy Thanks
How sharp is it compared to the Sigma 30 f2.8 and the Sigma 30 f1.4 ? I will sell the Sigma 30 f2.8 if this zoom lens is sharper, as I will then have the advantage of having a good AF. The sigma f2.8 can't use the full AF-C capabilities of the A6400.
Thanx for the lens review :) Really enjoying this channel bro, please keep the great content coming!!
Thanks so much!
ah! what a poetic journey with this sigma lens!♥
On the FX30 would you recommend this one or the tamron 17-70?
I heard that the stabilization of the tamron kinda fights with the stabilization of the fx30
Nice review. . i enjoyed the hiking photos & videos. .
i started saving money for this lens. .
Glad you enjoyed it!
Always love your storytelling work. Do you use HLG2/3 for shooting 8-bit to compensate for the shadow noise?
This video was shot using SLO2 - S-GAMUT3.cine and +15 saturation
It’s been a while since I shot 8 bit but I thought this worked pretty well!
Would this lens work with the zv-e10 for wildlife shots? I'm looking for a compact zoom lens for beginner travel vlogs and would welcome all advice!
It would work, but generally, wildlife photography calls for longer lenses than this unless you can get quite close to the subject.
Great to see you sharing your love of the great outdoors so much lately :-)
Glad to hear you’re enjoying it!
Nice practical review of the lens. Pet peeve though -- the plants are not dead but dormant
Oh, boy! I'm still in love with my recently bought tamron 17-70. But this thing looks amazing! (Even more when is being operated by you)
My Gear: Sigma 18-50 f2.8, Sony A6400, Zhiyun Crane M3
is this setup enough to reduce most of the shakes on your shots?
@@jannpatrickroquero891 Sure, M3 is pretty strong, if u do slomo ,its no problem, if u do normal frame rate like 24 or 30, then you gotta hold it steady and maybe do some post stablizing in prmiere or fcpx
Why do we need to have IBIS when there is Catalyst Browse? Or does it work with Catalyst Browse? I didn't see Stabilize showing up when I used a 100-400 GM lens for some reason.
This was exactly the review I needed. Thanks so much - really entertaining. 🙂
Beautiful video section!! And informative review :) would you mind testing the IQ on a full frame body? I'd like to know how the APS-C section of something like the a7c or even the a7r iv / A1 would do if this was used as a casual vacation lens
I put a couple examples of this lens in my a7iv review if you want to check that out. Not a super comprehensive look but I was quite happy with the results!
Thank you, I watched your video and other videos on Sigma 18-50mm, finally I bought it when it is on special. I upgraded to this from the kit lens for my Sony ZV-E10. It is a great upgrade, I have been using it to take stills. Yet to take videos with it. There are a lot I am learning about controls and settings to take great photos.
Thanks for the apsc content
My pleasure!
Thanks man❤️
I was looking for the Exact video❤️
Hope that you enjoy it. I’m still super pleased with mine. 🎉
Glad to hear it!
Great video! Just got mine yesterday and I'm so happy I bought it!
Great video review 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I just bought this sigma 18-50 yesterday for my FX30. Small and cheap if you compare to other (sony and tamron)
Absolutely love it! 😍
This lens what I need for my RUclips channel, the minimum focus distance for small lens 18-50 f2.8 is insane 😍😍😍
At 18mm = 12cm and 50mm = 30cm.
It’s more than enough for me, no need of buying macro lens anymore.
Hi, which one is better? Sigma 18-50 f2.8 vs tamron 17-70 f2.8 for still photography?
I mean if you are on a budget that looks like a very, like u said, set it and forget it kinda lens. The tamron give a little bit more range but it looks fully capable of getting good shots.
Yup!
For Zv-e10 which one you prefer? 18-50 or 16mm F1.4?
(For indoor videography like commercial add)
This is superb! I was waiting for something like this one day from SIGMA. And the day has come!!!😍
Just make some dedicated camping/hiking content already! The colors, scenes, and cinematography is always amazing in these!!
Haha if I want RUclips to show it to people, I need to hide it in gear reviews haha 😂
Dunna this video is art!
Thank you!
Hi Dunna,
I found a big deal. Tamron 17-70 is only $20 price difference then Sigma 18-50.
Between those two lenses (at the same price) which one do you choose?
Thanks
Ooh, tricky! I guess the Tamron.
@@dunnadidit Thank you so much. 😀
I think I'll get this too.
Very good video! I take 90% of my pictures with 18mm focal length. Now im not sure whether to go with the Sigma 16mm 1.4 or the 18-50mm 2.8. I only need it for photos. Which do you think has the better picture quality?
I am very curious about the focal length of this lens on the full frame without vignetting. Looking forward to the answer
Have you used the Sony 18-135 zoom? Would love the comparison. I really only want one zoom in my kit and I want to know if this Sigma Zoom is FAR superior to that zoom to justify loosing the 50-135mm zone.
My prime use would be make product n lifestyle videos for social media. I have my eye on the Sony 6500. Could u tell me if this is ok or I should go for the 6600 as price gap pretty wide. Also been looking at this lens but I am particularly fond of Zeiss- should I go for this sigma AND add the Touit 32/1.8 as prime lens for video? Thx in advance!
How are you doing the "handheld shake" effects on your static video shots? Yes I was able to spot that, 😅
There’s an effect in resolve called camera shake… that’s it!
Wow I don't even shot Sony and I want this lens. I wonder if they will make an xmount option?
If they could port it over for x-mount I think they’d do well with it!
Great Timing and video! Was just looking for this lens today. I'm totally torn between this and the Tamron. I have a A6400 and I'm totally unsure if I need stabilization for photos. I just have not enough experience for this. For videos j use a gimbal so no problem. For photos I'm doing mostly street and peoples outside.
Can you help me Dunna? Or other people :)
If you’re happy to use a gimbal, then stabilization isn’t as important. And for photography, as long as you’re not in lots of low light situations, you can use shutter speed to offset any shake
Daaaang a f2.8 for and effective 27-75? at 550?! That pretty awesome to hear for aps-c users. Might challenge the classic 18-105 f4 for a first lens pickup.
Pretty nuts right??
Great review, thanks - and Edmonton looks nice. I have a 6400 (no stabil), 1/3 of the Signa trio (the 16/1.4), and recently got the Tamron 17/70. I shoot a lot of video and the VC (stabilization) on the Tamron might be better that Sony's in this price range - terrific lens overall. As I have the 16/50 kit (oss), not sure I'd get this before a few more primes, but it looks like a terrific alternative - nice to see Sigma expanding the the crop users, though would be a game changer if they worked some stabilization in, as their stills are always sharp - keep up the good work!
Thanks for the comparisons! I currently own both 16mm and 54mm and a Sony a6000. However I find the 16mm is not as used for me because of the wide and limited usability. Should I sell the 16mm 1.4 and get this 18-50 lens? What would you do? I am looking to use the lens for street photography and landscapes mainly.
using this lens on a apsc camera such as the A6500 this will have the 1.5x crop? so it being technically a 27- 75?
fantastico! Lovely Edmonton! I know I'm 1 year late...but...is this Sigma f2.8 a LOT BETTER than the Sonyt 18-105mm f4 in lower light conditions? Considering buying it to replace the f4 but the Sony can be very very useful for sure...just wondering...I thought about using The Sigma mc-11 to mount my SIgma 18-35mm f1.8 on my new Sony FX30 but not too sure I'd like that set up- I wish there was a f1.8 zoom for Sony E mount!!! that would be awesome...opinions? (PS I have the Sigma 16 and 30mm f1.4 and I use them but I would prefer NOT to change lenses during a long recording...like a wedding!)
Love the atmosphere in this video. Nice job. Do you still own an aps-c camera?
I don’t actually anymore. I had to borrow an a6600 to make this video. I had grand plans of getting another one soon but just haven’t yet.
Im have a sony a6600 and was going to take this with me on an Alaska cruise in September along with sony 70-350,, should i still bring my sigma 16mm, by the way great video
Do u use a shaky filter on ur scenes? It looks like some other person holds the camera
Sometimes I use a “camera shake” effect to make it look like someone is hand holding it rather than on a tripod
Really excited for this lens!
Firstly great video Dunna. I need a suggestion from you. Based on your previous suggestions I took alpha6400 and a sigma 56mm for my portraits. Now I wanted to get sigma 16mm for landscape photography. Now can u help me decide if I should go with 16mm or this one? Tia 😊😊
Same Situation for me. I think i will get the 18-50 2.8 first and see how often I really miss the 2 extra mm wide-angle of the sigma 16 1.4 in real situations.
If you compare it with the sony 16-55 2.8, you can get the sigma 18-50 and the 16 1.4 for the price of the sony.
Tough decision, sigma 16mm + sigma 18-50 vs used Sony 16-55 (which I'll see occasionally for
@@7784000 Hi, I am on the same situation with a 6400 and Sigma 56mm. Now considering either Sigma 18-50mm or Sigma 16mm as 56mm is too tight for indoor/landscapes. If you have made the decision, can you please share your experience.

Would this be a good pair with the Tamron 11-20 f/2.8 that I have right now on my ZV-E10? I don't really need anything beyond 50mm considering the APS-C crop factor since I'm not doing anything with telephoto stuff.
I can’t think of why it wouldn’t! You’ve got great coverage then!
@@dunnadidit Update - it's now part of my kit! :D
@@spdcrzy how do you like it ? would you recommend over a prime lens ,
I've noticed quite huge distortions when getting close to the wider and narrower ends of the focal length... how do you deal with it? Seems there are not lens profile yet, I'm fixing it manually for now :(
Great review!
Sigma 30 F1.4 or the Sigma 18-50 f2.8, if I could buy only one of them? I enjoy Low light photography and taking portraits.
If you could ONLY get one, I’d go 18-50
sigma 16 1.4 way better than 30
Depends on what you are shooting. I'm mainly using 30mm on my a6600 these days.
@@rsmith02 I'm a beginner. According to my research, 50mm equivalent is a versatile lens. So I decided to get this lens and enjoy the wide aperture
YO! Amazing video thank you. I am in between this lens and the Tamron 11-20mm 2.8 , thoughts on which one would be best for my first lens on the FX30?
Thanks for this video, this is one more vote for me to buy it as a kit lens for my 6600.
Nice!
Gotta see how this platform works on Sony before I buy the new line on canon aps-c line
Great video, you live in a beautiful area, so much to photograph, I currently own sigma 16mm, 30mm, sony 18-105 f4, and sony 70-350, I take alot of sunrise/ sunset pictures and car show pictures, I was thinking of adding this to my small collection, I was looking at this lense for night time shots, would you still buy this lense even having the sony 18-105?
good day I owned 18-105 , planning to buy new lens, considering sigma 56 and sigma 18-50. preferred use for low light situation, studio photoshoot, sometimes video. what would to recommend for me? next lens?
Well can I safely use this on my gimbal if the lens is getting longer when zooming? Therefore throwing balance off?
Hows the autofocus on the sony camera? Just bought Two sigmas 18-50 and two FX30 lol
Great video Dunna! From your review, this sounds like a 'value tier' Sigma...materials not as premium as the primes, yet still pretty good. Still a worthy step up from a kit lens. 👍🏾
Nailed it! That seems to be what they were doing!
Hey Dunna any chance you could get your hands on the Samyang/Rokinon 24-70? I’m hearing good things but no big creators have reviewed it yet.
I’ll do my best!
Dunna, really dig the video examples. Could you do a video on how you plan, shoot and edit one of these videos. Thanks.
I just completed my Sigma prime trio when this lens was released, and I'm feeling the pull pretty hard. Switching lenses can be so frustrating, and the optical performance of this 2.8 zoom seems to be excellent. I wonder if my trio would collect dust if I ended up going with this lens. Such a convenient, small, lightweight package. And inexpensive!
Yeah that’s the tough call hey!? One lens that does all three… or 3 lenses that do it all but slightly better.
The primes are well prime and that's all I need
@@dunnadidit Hi, thanks for that really good video.
I have the sigma 16mm 1.4 with my A6500. I can buy only 1 lens, between the sigma 30mm f1.4, 56mm f1.4 and 18-50 f2.8, which one would you recommend for photos and videos ?
Really hard to choose beacause I don't have the chance to test all sigma lenses :)
Do you think the 18-50 is comparable to the 30mm for photo & video (except for low light) ?
Thanks a lot
@@Pozek.Pixels I have the 16 and the 56, I returned the 30 because it had focusing problems which seems to be a known problem and it was their first release out of the 3. The 56 is the best. I use it for photos of cars and portraits and it is superb. But for video id go for the 18-50 which is what I am doing.
@@pudsboi5203 thanks :)
This lens is even better news for Leica TL & CL users. You can get a used Leica TL or CL camera for reasonable prices but the lenses are stupid expensive. This lens is a dream on my Leica TL2.
I am looking into buying this for the Sony fx30 for video…. Do you think it’s fine to use? (Because it has no oss I am worried)
You know the L mount has even less apsc lenses for the Leica CL. I can't think of another comparable zoom.
My own kit has mostly Sigma f1.4 primes, Got the 16mm; 24mm; the leica 35mm , the 56mm Sigma .
Since the CL has no IBIS, all my lenses are f1.4 so I can crank up the shutter speed to freeze image without boosting ISO.
This zoom will stay on the camera until I need more light.
Have you used the sony 18-135 zoom? Wondering if this has image quality closer to the Sigma Primes or that zoom lens. I love the reach on that zoom but quality sucks!
This or tamron 17-70 2.8 for sony a74 Dunna ? And does f2.8 apsc lens also get same amount of light as f2.8 full frame lens ?
Buy full frame lenses for full frame cameras for sure. So 17-28
@@dunnadidit i feel the tamron 17-28 quote short zoom range 🤔
Yeah, I would actually recommend a 24-70 instead but I was just going off the options you gave me 😜
Would this lens work well for recording live bands in small venues?
