Great opening sequence Josh, your video's are just the right blend of being informative about the product and showcasing just what can be done especially for those of us using the 80d and being on a budget with equipment. Keep up the great work.
I've gotten one. Each pic taken with this lens makes my jaw drop - it's phenomenal. Do not regret buying a 24 mm 2.8 cuz it's quite a different lens for different type of photography/videos. I've got both, love them equally.
So last month I purchased a similar lens, Sigma 30mm contemporary lens using their Art glass for micro 4/3. OMG I was totally blown away by the crisp images it produces. Love it and so will you.
I swear your videos keep getting better and better over time. Great job and keep up the good work.
Thanks for noticing! I've been putting a lot of work into them lately!
Such a nice lens. Many wouldn't care for using this on full frame since it's not designed for 35mm sensors but on my canon 6d its just incredible.. there's minimal vignetting that can be easily removed.. the look is pretty awesome.
Yo thank you for putting this lense on my radar. I'd been considering the 24mm for a while but finding this video really made me reconsider. Great tests and comparisons! That zoom test with the 50mm and low light test with the 24 really sold me on this lens. The 30 mm is the Perfect happy medium
This is my 2nd time watching your video! Love your explanation, definitely convinced me to buy mine lol!
Thanks haha, glad it was helpful. Hope you make something awesome with your new lens!
Awesome video and those opening transitions were dope!!! Thanks Josh
You're very welcome! I've been thinking of adding more stuff like that just to spice up my videos, they're always super fun to make!
Thanks so much for this review. Very helpful !!
Any time!
You made me feel so proud of my new boy,thank you and thumbs up!
I appreciate your recommendation, Josh. As an 80D owner, this is right up my alley.
Great to hear, happy to help!
Thanks a lot for your review Josh, going to get one now! Thank you.
Hope you enjoy it!
Cool review mate. Like your energy 👌💪
Great personality and review!
This is an absolutely beautiful 30mm lens with excellent build. Sigma made a beautiful design and included a fast autofocus motor. The current lens design called sigma trio does not have the same build quality and focus system. Tamron has made something similar with a 60mm macro lens which is also a well-built lens with unique features. I'm lucky enough to own the two lenses that make an interesting pair and that are actually two hidden gems.
Great video and review! Thank you for the comparisons of the 30mm vs 50mm 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You're very welcome!
I grew to hate my Nifty 50 and just taking pictures in general. I've always appreciated Sigma lens, but didn't have the cash to buy one. Well, let's just say you convinced me to get the 30mm Art lens for my Rebel T5. I can finally take decent photos without having to move all the back since the Nifty 50's frame was always too tight for what I needed for my crop sensor lens. I cannot wait until my 30mm comes in!
I'm really hoping it'll get me to go out and take photos again and to love photography again. Thank you!
Yeah the nifty 50 is good for the price, but by no means is it the perfect lens. Hope this lens gets you loving photography again!
What do you think of the 30 mm? :)
fantastic video, thank youu from Brazil
Thanks Gabriel!
Excellent video! I’m thinking about picking this lens up as a lens I can use for handheld documentary stuff. I don’t want to use a 50 because it’s so cropped in that every movement looks shaky. Would you say the 30 is wide enough that micro jitters don’t show too much?
You are not being weird ;-). Got this lens back in the days for my 7D. AF wasnt as fast as on my 60mm EF-S, BUT. For Portrait that lens was a dream - my old 7D felt like a new cam. And yeah i got used to the slower AF (Again on my old 7D, prob better on newer bodies). About to adapt it with a speed booster on an older GH5... 42mm F1.0 - MF only. Can´t wait to test it out.
nice mate thank you. Ive been looking for a lens that will help me get a nice background for talking head shots. Was thinking of the 24mm 2.8. But after watching this vid I think ill pass on it. Here goes my search for a Sigma 30mm in the second hand market lol wish me luck (I cant afford a new one lol)
Amazing video, Josh. May I ask what do you use as a backlight? I mean those eye-catching orange and blues lights!
exactly what I wanted!! This video helps me a lot! Thank you 🙏
Great video keep making videos for 80d users :)
Will do!
Thank you
Hey man great video, as always! I was actually thinking about the Sigma 30mm and 16mm f/1.4 dc dn for my sony a6100! Also love the motion graphics and the little things you are adding to your videos! Makes the videos look better every time! Also what monitor do you have? It looks REALLY nice + I like dell 😂 Thanks!
Oh right on! And thanks, I'm always trying to up the production quality a little! It's a Dell Computer Ultrasharp U2415 24.0-Inch! My old monitor had pretty bad colors so it wasn't great for editing, but I've had this for like 6ish months now and love it!
that intro was so sick!!
Thanks, appreciate it!
Josh I love your videos .. can u tell me what is the difference in contemporary lens and Art lens ??
I have 24mm f1.4 Art on Nikon Z50, it's also amazing lens for cropped sensors.
That intro was sick!
Appreciate it, had a lot of fun making it!
Josh, I have a very small room and I make guitar contents. I have a canon 77D which is a crop sensor lens. Do you recommend I should get this to get the full guitar and myself in the video? I have a 50mm but for my small room that only captures my face and not my guitar. Let me know and thanks for this video
Great question! Depends on the size of the room so it's tricky for me to say...Do you have access to any other lenses such as a 24mm or an 18-55 that you could check with? While this lens (the 30mm) is great for lowlight and a shallow depth of field, it may not be wide enough. I'd suggest checking out the Canon 24mm f/2.8 STM, the Sigma 17-50 f/2.8, as well as the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 to be on the safe side. Having everything in the shot sounds more important in your specific situation. Hope this helps!
@@JoshWiniarski Thanks dude. Appreciate the help. I ve made a note just now and ill go and check all the lenses you mentioned first before buying. Another youtuber/guitarist friend suggested i go for the 18-35 lens. So best i try them all before buying. Thanks dude
That intro was sick 🔥
Thanks, I had a lot of fun with it!
hey thanks for telling me about this lens for the crop sensor. so i'm going to get the 18-35 from sigma and the 30mm 1.4 from sigma for my crop sensor camera
Thanks Josh for your video!. Can I use this lens on my Canon C100 Mark II?, thanks again Josh!
I bought it 2 months ago, to use with my t7i, Dude...DOF is SICK THIN at F1.4.!!
Being able to use ISO 1600 in low light over 6400 is great when you're not a fan of flashes.
My only criticism on this lens is that it cannot focus very close, so near macro shots are out of reach.
My other lenses are EF-S 18-135 IS Nano USM and EF-S 55-250 IS STM .
I agree to most of your statements - this is an incredible lens! But what's wrong with your focus motor? Mine is almost silent, even with the ears at the lens (and being a professional musician my ears are really good (tested just a few weeks ago...))
Great thanks!
You bet!
Hi josh.just want to ask..can it be mounted on eos M with adapter?
good job 👏🏼
Thanks 😁
Hi mate how are you? I would like to know your opinion about Sigma 18-35 f1.8 Art I'm using on my 7d mark 2. Thanks
If I have to choose between the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM ART Lens and the Sigma 35mm lens in the Aybj series, which one should I choose? I take street and portrait photographs.
oh man, I was looking to buy a good lens for my canon 250D. I had the 50mm 1.8, excellent lens, but no....I sent it back!!! I've got the 24mm 2.8 and it's good, but something is still missing .....I think the sigma 30mm 1.4 Art is the one!!! Thanks
You can actually use this lens on a full frame camera (have used this on my 6dii), but would have some vignette at 1.4 but for me, it's tolerable and actually gives emphasis on the subject.
agreed on the best lens. I use it the most. my 50 gets hardly any use. and I have dropped it. the from plastic has a small crack but the lens is wicked sharp
What lighting are you using in this vid ?
How about if I have canon 24mm efs, should I buy 30mm?
What you think
what about mirror af performance, does it missautofocus i mean even a little back or forward? i hate open aperture lens missfocusing...
I do own this lens basically few months after it's release long ago. I does have too much CAs for my taste. Using it onto my Nikon D7000. It's not that much better, than my 35/1.8 DX, but especially with the supplied lens hood, much bigger into size.
Sir, if I have a Nikon D7500s crop sensor camera, will the Sigma lens 1.4.50 mm be good?
I've been thinking about this lens. Also thinking about the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8. The zoom range is useful and the aperture is still bright. But the 30mm f/1.4 seems amazing too. Definitely wouldn't get both. Have you looked at the 18-35?
I actually use the 18-35 a couple times a month although I don't own it and haven't done a direct comparison. I think they're very comparable lenses, but in my opinion the 30mm is what you go with if you want maximum lowlight performance/depth and you're pretty set on a 30mm focal length. Maybe that's what you like for portraits, or for interview setups where you wouldn't ever use 18mm. If you already own a wide angle lens this makes a lot of sense as well. The 18-35 is again more of an all-arounder. Honestly, the 18-35 is probably the better lens for most people, but when I bought this I already owned a 14mm prime, and I wanted a lens for portraits, talking head youtube shots, and amazing lowlight so I went for the 30mm. Both are great though, I'm a huge fan of Sigma lenses, hope this helps!
I just bought this lens used and I'm noticing tons of green longitudinal CA at f/1.4, green circles around anything shiny (sequins, for example), and magenta and purple CA on all the contrasting edges of background objects. How can I tell if this is just something I need to calibrate out or if it's a flaw with the lens?
Hai, can i know what MM your lens hood using in ur sigma?
Hi Sir
What is the difference between DC and DG ?
Just subscribe to your channel great review I’m planning to buy that lens I have a crop sensor camera Nikon d3300 is it a great all rounder lens ?
great video just picked this up for $350 for the 90D
Hope you make some awesome stuff with it!
I love this lens on my 200D/SL2. I was using 50 but I realized that it is too tight for many of scenarios in my case. So I got a barely used 30 for half price and I love this lens. The DOF is 🔥
I can so relate to you! I am using a 50mm on my Canon Rebel t5, and its too tight! Hoping my new purchase works better!
Why can't I use it on a full frame instead of a let's say 35mm or 24mm for Portrait? Is there no converter for the Mount???
If price was no object, what is the better lens overall in terms of autofocus performance, image quality, fringing/abberation, sharpness, build quality, etc, between this and the 30mm 1.4 Contemporary? Anyone know?
I need your help or anyone the information I need maybe you went through this before, I have Canon 77D and I just bought sigma 24 mm F1.4 DG HSM art Lens got delivered today When I tried it on the lens and the body they go together So there is adopter missing I believe but I don’t know which One Guide me you are the one who have Canon camera and using Sigma lens.
If I used this lens with an adaptor on my M50 is it a better lens than the Sigma 30mm f1.4 DN DC Contemporary EF-M? The price difference would suggest so. Another excellent vid Josh.
In theory yes, however I can't say so for certain since one uses an adapter and one won't. Wish I could be more helpful but it might be something you'll have to research a little!
I have ordered this lens to mount on my 80D, so I have a better chance of very good evening photo's
tysmmmm idk why nobody is talking about this lens, I want to buy an r7 and no one recommended this lens idk why, I didn't even know it existed
Especially for the price, this lens is INCREDIBLE for crop sensor cameras haha, you're right though there aren't too many videos on it.
Great video Josh!, 2 questions,..I just got the Sigma 17-50, If I use the 17-50 at 30mm it will do the same performance as the 30mm Sigma lens?, I know that probably on the low light will be a difference, but I also tried the Viltrox Speed booster on the 17-50 Sigma but this one gave me a weird circular crop around, any advice about this issue?
The sigma 17-50 is made for a smaller sensor. Effectively a speed-booster will make the sensor act if it was larger than it was. This means you are using more of the lens than intended by the manufacturer, which causes the circular crop, called a vignette. That circular crop is just the lens barrel, which isn’t originally intended to be seen. This same thing will happen if you use the speed booster with the sigma 30mm. For a speed booster to work properly, you need to pair a full frame lens with it. Because full frame lenses are intended to be used by larger sensors, you can use a speed booster and essentially replicate a full frame camera, hence why you would need lenses that are made for full frame. And about your first question, if you’re shooting at f2.8 on the sigma 30 then it will perform nearly the same as the 17-50. However, if you want more creative control/better low light/more shallow depth of feild, then the 30mm will absolutely out perform the 17-50. I should say the 17-50 will definitely serve you better if versatility is what you’re after, but if your situation doesn’t require that same versatility, then the 30mm will do you wonders!!! If you want the same look as the sigma 30mm, you can simply buy a canon 50mm 1.8 for far cheaper and use your speedbooster with it. There may be some autofocus issues though.
Hope some of this makes sense😂 Maybe Josh will see this and have some more to add!
Best of luck with your photography/videography endeavors!!! Happy shooting man😊
Thanks for that great explanation!!
Michell Tiburcio Absolutely!!! Glad I could help👍🏻
This helped more than I thought, almost wasted my money on a 24mm 2.8
Nothing wrong with the 24mm f/2.8 if you need a wider lens or have a smaller budget. BUT if you want amazing lowlight and shallow depth of field this lens DESTORYS it haha
24mm 2.8 is a great lens when you need a lightweight setup 📸 I like how the pancake lens makes the camera so easy to carry around
Agree with both people above, if you can pick up a 24mm 2.8 cheap enough then do it! Always fits in your bag and is a great lens! Wide enough to use for some landscapes. Only just tho!
Should we skip this lens for 18-35mm sigma art?
@@aashikshrestha2133 I have the 18-35 art and it’s absolutely amazing, I would 110% go with the 18-35 over the 30mm
Love my 80d but i need a lens like this ....bro i want to buy this sigma 30 or sigma 17-50 2.8 whats the best option i work with social events
Both are great! The Sigma 30mm has the better image quality, BUT not being able to zoom in and out is always something you'll have to work around. If you need to get wide shots AND close ups, the 17-50 is an awesome option!
wow good...i have canon 80d with sigma 17.50mm should i buy 30mm for potraits?
If you like the 17-50, you'll LOVE the 30mm for portraits.
I know that the focusing of this lens as to be calibrated, more specifically with the 80d because it has some focusing issues...did you calibrate yours? In that case coupled be interesting a video about it!!
Never calibrated mine and it works great! I have made micro adjustments to other lenses like the 50mm f/1.8 though. Every camera either front or back focuses a little, and so does each lens. I may have just lucked out with my particular combination, but if you'd like to micro adjust yours there are plenty of videos on it!
@@JoshWiniarski thanks for the kind answer! I was just wondering because I’ve your same setup or better maybe I’ll get a 30mm. I was a sigma 18-35 owner, and I had to micro adjust it so that’s why I asked. many thanks again for taking your time, appreciate it!
I'm using this lens for the past one year on my 200d/sl2. Focus is low compared to 50mm Canon. But it is accurate only.
Will caliberation fix speed? Or is it only for accuracy? And how do I caliberate?
@@ShebeerPrince for calibrate the lens (focus) you must have the sigma dock. With that you can update the firmware on the lens or micro adjust the focus. For focusing speed you can change that on the camera. Some does that, i don’t know if the 200d is part of these cameras.
Anyone know if I put this lens on my Canon 250d (SL3 I think?) if it's 30mm ? or bigger?
Did you find out in the end? I’m thinking about getting this for my 250d
Great review. I have the one . Would like to use it with m50
Is anyone use it with m50? How is autofocus ?
Hey LF, I know you asked this question 2 months ago, but here goes. I use this lens on my M50, (the Sigma 30mm EF-M version) photos and videos. I use it for the talking head part of my YT vids (well, I'm starting to use it). My 15-45 kit lens just wasn't cutting it with its smaller aperture and I couldn't get that awesome bokeh to get me to stand out from the background. This 30mm Sigma lens gives me all I was hoping for. As you know, if you own the M50, it's not the best in low light, but with the large opening of the 1.4, I no longer have problems with noise in my videos. The dual pixel autofocus is super fast and has no problem with the lens. The Sigma works flawlessly with the M50. Hope that helps.
@@SteveAtkinsonFineArt that definitely helps! Thank you a lot for the expanded answer.
Here’s a question! If I was to purchase this lens for a 77D and then upgrade to a Mirrorless R10 with a cropped sensor would the lens behave the same using the RF-EF adapter as both cameras have a cropped sensor? Thanks! 👍🏼
It should behave identical. I used the sigma 35mm (full-frame version) on my EOS R with the adapter and it works flawlessly.
@@JoshWiniarski excellent! I wanted to upgrade to full frame but a growing family and recent ill health has tightened my budget so considering this lense for my 77D mainly for family photos both at home and out and about.
I would like to buy it for photoshoots at home. What do you think? The nifty fifty, I love it but don't have space in the living room..
If you like the nifty 50 but need something a little wider this is a GREAT lens. It's sharper and has a faster aperture too!
@ 5:32 This Sigma 30mm lens is actually designed for crop sensor cameras. So would you still multiply by the crop factor to get the resulting focal length on a crop sensor camera, wouldn't the focal length just be 30mm on a crop sensor camera?
Crop sensor cameras always have the crop factor. This is a common misconception but really easy to test if you have any full frame lenses with similar focal lengths to a crop sensor one. For instance if you take an EF-S 18-55 and EF 50mm theyll have the same image at 50mm. Hope this helps!
@@JoshWiniarski Ah, I see, thank you for the useful information! I've been using my crop sensor camera for years but had no idea. Great review too 👍
@@pombear127 Of course! It all starts to add up when you compare lenses too. The Wide angle for crop sensors is 10-18mm which = 16-29 (full frame version is 16-35). Look at lenses like the 24mm pancake lens and multiply it by 1.6 and you get 38.4mm (the full frame version is 40mm) etc.
Good review thanks. BTW f2.8 is two stops slower than f1.4 not four. You double your ISO for each stop of light. so each stop of light makes a jump like this 100>200>400>800>1600>3200>6400 and so on
You're absolutely right thanks for catching that! Not sure where I said it but I must have meant 4x as much light NOT 4 stops.
@@JoshWiniarski I’m an idiot, you did say “light” not stops. Ignore your old man, he doesn’t know what he is talking about 😂
@@officialyourdad2342 No worries, thanks for keeping me on my toes I've made mistakes before!
@@JoshWiniarski haven’t we all
Can you record a talking head video with two people? If so what’s the distance between the camera and the two individuals, In your opinion?
Great video!!!
For videos like this one, the lens is about 5 feet from me (roughly). You'd probably need to be 8 or 9 feet away for a medium-close up of 2 people. Might not be the best lens for that unless you've got some room to work with.
@@JoshWiniarski thank you!!
I got the Nikon version for $150 second-hand... because it is a lens for a DSLR crop sensor ...
This or 18-35 f1.8?
30mm Use this 7miii full fram camra bro plz reply
Unfortunately this lens is only for crop sensor cameras. The full-frame version is the Sigma 35mm f/1.4!
this lens have autofocus issue where it's stuck. sadly the problem also happen to me
I just gat one last week for 147 £ on e Bay and Is my favorit lens sow far 😀
Hello Josh, Ishmael here,
Is this good on a canon 70D
Absolutely, it'll be a great lens for that camera!
@@JoshWiniarski Hey Josh is it compatible with canon EOS 1300D? Nice video man
hey, where are you from? "Winiarski" sounds like polish second name
I think 30mm good but the color difference is clear between sigma and canon lenses. Canon lenses are better for canon cameras and color looks good without any color grading
Yes. I am using sigma 18-35 and Canon 50mm. It’s hard to put clips shots on each lens in same timeline.
can i use this on my 80D?
Yep, just make sure you get the Canon version!
@@JoshWiniarski ohh nice but now I'm thinking if 18-35 or 35 1.4
@@mactaduyo9318 All are fantastic options, just depends on what you need!
@@JoshWiniarski thanks bro you help me a lot
because it does not have image stabilisation can you make great videos without gimbal??
80D in 4K???
I dont know wich buy 30,35 or 50 sigma 1.4
All are INCREDIBLE lenses, I'd say it mostly depends on what you shoot and what other lenses you already have. The 30mm is the cheapest (since it's only for crop sensor cameras).
@EastEndery The 35mm is more expensive that the 30mm because it is meant for full-frame cameras. Its bigger, has more glass, and can be used on full-frame bodies while the 30mm is only for crop-sensors.
Bro what about sigma 18 - 35 1.8 ?
i have this lens, quality is literally the same as this one, BUT i will say the only downfall is how heavy the 18-35 is especially if using a gimbal
that is double the price but f1.4 vs f1.8 is where f1.4 stands out..
If i was at your place and had money for 18-35 f1.8..than would have bought 30mm f1.4 + 17-50 f2.8
@EastEndery yes it is , 1.4 helps alot in low light
Much better with Nikon than Canon.
Nice price at $440
For the performance you're getting it's one of the best value lenses out there!
This is not a cheap lens….
Aight ima head out
Don’t be afraid to invest in yourself. If you use your camera to book work, you will make that money back plus more.
