I own the 16 and 56 f/1.4, still I don't want to buy a 30 mm. Sigma also managed to give all tree different filter thread. The 16 use 67 mm, the 56 use 55 and the 30 use 52,. Tamron do a great job using 67 mm on almost all E-mouth lenses.
@@JakeMasseyFilms The 56 f/1.4 is a nice lens and very small. Since 56 on APS.C is like 85 on full frame It is more like a portrait lens. I use mine very seldom since I own the Sony 16-55 f/2.8 and I very seldom need bigger aperture than f/2.8.
I don’t understand how you stated you don’t want to buy a 30mm because the 30mm uses 52mm what does that mean? Isn’t it just focused as a prime at 30mm and not any other focal length?
@@jarrad5244 I know but I don't shoot at very low light with eq 45-50. I have the 16 1.4, the 56 1.4 and a Sony FE 85 1.8, and I very seldom use any of them.
I recently purchased this lens and it’s a little beast great carry around lens for spontaneous quick portraits or low light nifty fifty shots great video 👍🏼🖖🏼
Yes, i agree. The Sigma 30 1.4 is a fine lens. Also like the Zeiss Touit 12 2.8. But now i am waiting for the Tamron 17-70 2.8. I hope this would be a burner
My Sony ZV-E10 shows up tomorrow (with the kit lens). I will be using it for mostly video and lightweight travel. I thought I would start with the 16-50 and just do some videos, walk around and take some photos as "normal" and then come back to look at everything in the computer and see what mm lenses would work for me. Currently, before I do this test, I am thinking about the Samyang 12mm f2, the 30mm f1.4, and the Sigma 56mm f1.4 (the 16 will be heavier than I want to deal with and I think the 12mm will be better for vlogging).
should i get this, but used and comes with 2 filters for $280 or save up a bit and get brand new sigma 56mm for $430 (can't find used one atm). And yes, everything is way more expensive in my country and we earn way less $350 average monthly salary.
👍👍 Nicely reviewed. Only one point that I could not figure out is, you reviewed it for photography only ? Bcos nothing is said/shown regarding Videos. Pls answe that also. 👍 🙏
Why i cant take photos with this lens? I can only take photos if i set it to release shutter without lens but the autofocus won't work. Can anybody help me? M100 Sigma 30mm 1.4 dc dn
Hello Stefan ... I'm from India 🇮🇳 and I love streetphotography. And planning for Canon EOS 200D MARK II, is this lens compatible with this camera ? If yes then is it the best choice for Streetphotography ??? Need your guidance 🙏
I'm sacrificing/investing my last money for this lens. And i hope it will help my photography business in the future. My wife will kill me if she finds out.😅
Hi, your videos are super helpful. I would be very interrested in a comparison of Sigma 30/1.4 on a 24MP sensor vs a Samyang 45/1.8 on a FF 24MP sensor. I think that it really would make sense.
Should I buy an extra sigma 30mm lens if I already have sigma 16mm lens or I should go with a gimbal like zhiyon webbil S at similar price point which I don't have ?
Good quality review! well done! I have this len for the Canon...really good lens. Very tempted to get it for my Sony A6600 too. (to complete my sigma trinity)
What is your favorite aps-c lens?
Tamron 17-70mm F2.8!
Hey does sigma 30mm EF mount ( for Canon) work in my EOS 1300D? Or will it zoom in a bit?
@@joaobernardo3145 It will work
I’m using it as always. One of my best
sigma 56
This is my favorite lens for my a6000. It stays on the camera most of the time. Great for indoors, portraits, and outdoor landscapes.
do you know if this lens has autofocus or its manual focus
@@jimmatias Autofocus is fast and reliable.
@@patrickmckeag3215 thanks bro!
@@patrickmckeag3215 how can i use manual focus on a7iii ?
@@k81rclab42 Same as you would with an a6000: set focus to MF and use the focus ring. Manual focus works well in MF on any Sony camera.

@@jarrad5244 I don't want to buy any prime between 30 and 35 because I don't need it. My Sony 16-55 f2,8 G cover that perfect.
@@TVe200 but it doesn’t achieve an aperture f stop as low as f1.4 which will enable a lot better shooting in low light/night situations

I am loving your videos. Thanks for creating them :)
Just picked one up a used one for £150 and have to say it’s very nice! A great match for the ZV-E10.
I just sold this lens a few weeks ago. It was a great lens.
Best lens review in a while. Subd
Thank you! And what do you think about Samyang AF 35mm 1,8 Sony FE vs Sigma 30mm 1,4? I cant choose for street photo for my Sony6400
I got the 18-105 f4 and I can't decide which one to buy 35mm or 56mm.. for portrait and street
should i get this, but used and comes with 2 filters for $280 or save up a bit and get brand new sigma 56mm for $430 (can't find used one atm). And yes, everything is way more expensive in my country and we earn way less $350 average monthly salary.
Hi, can you please suggest a sigma lens that would be the best in terms of Beauty videos? I’ve got the Sony A6400.
Nice review. Simple + quick + reasonable
The drone shot in intro is top notch!!!
👍👍
Nicely reviewed.
Only one point that I could not figure out is, you reviewed it for photography only ?
Bcos nothing is said/shown regarding Videos.
Pls answe that also.
👍 🙏
Hi Stefan. I cannot mount this lens to my ZV-E 10. Could you give some advice?
this lens is on the way for me....i am really excited...
I shoot portrait pics of myself at the gym would this be a suitable lens for me if I want crisp quality with a background blur?
Yes will be a great choice. Something wider might be better in tight spaces. Check out the 16mm.
Is this lens suitable for streaming? If so what’s a good distance from the camera using this lens in your opinion?
Unless you have a big room, its going to be a bit tight. Maybe have a look at the 16mm.
Would this work well for weddings?
This Lense gets often compared with the 35mm Art Lense from Sigma, does IT compete Well?
Great videos mate, very helpful!!
Hey, what about the new viltrox 33mm f1.4?
This or a 50mm f1.8 with speed booster from viltrox for my m50.. I already got the 50mm so I am not sure what to buy
Thanks for the info! I’m wondering if this lens would be good for filming short film clips, skits and such.?.
Can I use it to my full frame sony?
How is the video outcome from this lens?
How do I get rid of the blurry background when using this lens ?
Stop down
I've got the 16mm version of this
Your reviews are the best! Please review the Rocknon 35mm 1.4 Sony! Thanks!
How will it work on full frame?
I will have a 1.5x crop. If you don't have a crop body, I would recommend sticking to full frame lenses.
Please does the Sigma 30mm f1.4 EF-M adapt to blackmagic 6k pro?
How does it compare to the Sony 35mm prime lens?
Is this lense for videographer bro
I grabbed one from eBay that was to be a Sony E mount but I’m not able to attach it to my A7sii. Any advice?
Is this lens good for product photography? Make up, candles, food etc ?
Yes should do just fine!
What about video making from this lens?
this lens has autofocus or its manual focus??
Hi, it s ok for shot commercial broll videos?
i would love to have the 56mm
Why i cant take photos with this lens? I can only take photos if i set it to release shutter without lens but the autofocus won't work. Can anybody help me?

What about the Sigma 30mm 2.8 for value?
I'm sacrificing/investing my last money for this lens. And i hope it will help my photography business in the future. My wife will kill me if she finds out.😅
I bought it and love it.
L-mount version does have the seal :)
Thank you!
i have the m43 version, very nice little lens :)
What about the Sigma art 18-35mm f1.8? You did a great review btw!
Thanks my friend. Because its not a native lens, its doubtful I'll review it unless I end up getting into the Canon system as well.
good lens bro..well explained
If this and the Sony 35mm were the same price, which would you choose for an a6600?
I have the exact same question! have you decided and if u did which oen and do you hapyp with your choice?
@@skinnylegend8324 I ended up getting the Sigma and I love it! I think the focusing is pretty fast.
Interested in how the auto focus is? On a Sony a6300? Cheers
Second this, would love to know if the autofocus is good！

No need
Buy 56 instead
Is this compatible with the Sony ZV1?
No, ZV1 has a fixed lens
@@Sonic-Boom thank you
how can i update firmware this lens on sony a7iii ?
Can this lens zoom?
No this is a prime lens.

word of the day "price point" 😂😂😂
Best reviews!
With Canon autofocus it's very fast
This was a great video except for all the for the price comments
I'll buy one 🥰
I think Viltrox 23 1.4 is more versatile.
But viltrox perfromance is worst.
