- In this video I take a look at the newly released Sigma contemporary 56mm f/1.4 lens for the Canon EF-M mount. I also talk about how the other lenses in the trio (the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 and Sigma 30mm f/1.4) fit into the EF-M mount system.

Hello
Nice to see you
shallow depth of field in your video makes anything in your hands out of focus. why would you do this?
I know I'm super late in the M game. Finally got my M6 Mkii 4 months ago and I'm loving every single aspect of it (except for the screen, I normally shoot with a R6 so the articulated screen is perfect).
The second lens I got for it was the Sigma 56 and I still can't believe how sharp, accurate and fast lens it is. My camera was second hand and came with no lens. I got the 22 first (another great lens). Since I got the Sigma I got a couple of other lenses and the EF adapter (although I no longer own any EF lens)
I shoot probably 80% of the times with the 56, the rest is divided between all the other lenses.
The only one I need right now is a wide angle, a good one. The Sigma 16 is under my consideration, but it is too large and heavy. It goes against the small and light factor of the camera. So I'm looking for other options. Which lens would you recommmend? My current lineup is: Canon 22 f2, Sigma 56 1.4, 18-55 (kit lens) and the 7 Artisans 35 1.2.
The 16mm Sigma works great on my M6 Mark II. And get the 32mm Canon. Very Sharp.
Great reply, I have the r6 and r6mk2 but was thinking of picking up a m6mk2 for travel
One reason to consider the Sigma 30mm over the Canon 32mm is that the Sigma is internal focussing, versus unit focussing for the Canon.
the sigma is also quieter
Got mine this Monday and my dog was kind enough to model for me as well. It won't be getting as much use as my 32mm, but should be great for portraits. Still, nothing beats the 32mm and the look it provides.
From the lenses I've used, I think Tamron has the most character, then older Canon EF glass, EF-M glass, and (surprise) plastic Canon EF-S. The nicer the Canon glass, the more coatings they add and those coatings seem to give the lens a colder look with a lot of contrast. The old 80-200mm and 35-80mm lenses are plastic and have good warmth, low contrast. The 35-70 glass EF lens is heavy and has a nice look. But I've noticed that Canon isn't using the same coatings on the EF-M lenses as they are on the EF lenses.
Very distracting that your hands are out of focus.
Agreed. Will increase the aperture in any future videos to ensure my face and hands are both in focus. Appreciate the feedback.
very annoying "and here I have yada yada" and all we can see is a massive black blob
you put in some nice glide shots to show what you're talking about though 👍
Please make a video comparison between Canon 32 1.4 and Sigma 30 1.4 efm !!
I'm working on one. It will be my first photography video so I'm a little nervous but I would enjoy feedback. I'll drop a link when I post it.
Laythas the Paladin cud u make it before next week!
where video??
Sorry, been swamped with my day job and opening my studio. I'm still trying to get it put together. I'll get it done asap.
The Sigma focuses quite a bit faster and it's almost $100 cheaper. Other than that I think they're pretty close.
I use the latest EF-S 50mm F1.8mm on my EOS M1 - absolutely superb image quality and only £99 new. I think this coupled with the 22mm f2 and the 11-22mm make the perfect travel camera. At night I also use the sigma EF-S 17-50mm f2.8. It’s a beast of a lens but only circa £130 used .
Nice video I have purchased the Sigma 16mm and 56mm f1.4 ef-m and have used it on my last three videos with my Canon M50. OMG it’s transformed my videos! So impressed 😎👍🏻
could you show me the link? Mine seems not to fit
How is that lens for video? Or would you think the 55-200mm would be better for shooting vids? Thanks! Loving the channel man! 🔥🧨💪🏽🤠👍🏽🧨🔥
Oh my God
Excited to get M6II now
Thanks for review
Viltrox will release 23mm, 33mm and 56mm for ef-m soon! Very interested to 23mm and 56mm as classic 35mm and 85mm combo in FF equivalent
Nice, i'll be on the lookout for those.
the biggest argument in favor of this lens is its price. You get amazing quality (both image -/ build-) for a very reasonable price. And that f 1.4 is so beautiful :)
Hello and thank you for this video.
- Are the pictures you show of your dogs and others taken with the Canon eos M6 MII + Sigma 56mm f 1.4?
- Do you prefer the Sigma 56 mm f1.4 or the Canon 32 f 1.4?
- Are you very satisfied with the Canon eos M6 Mark II?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Best regards,
Philgood
Your review is so very helpful for those who started getting back into Canon but a bit held back by the limited lens selection for the M mount. Would love to see you trying out adapted manual focus lenses on the system as well!
great video and love the photo examples. it's too bad they discontinued the efm mount. I just ordered a m6mk2 22/32 arriving tomorrow for street and travel photography. thinking of grabbing the 11-22 and 56 to complete the kit and maybe the 28mm macro for travel food close up photos.
If I have a M50 canon i need adapter for this len?
Ben, your videos are super helpful! I'm getting the m6 m2 with the 18-150 + evf kit. I will be adding the the ef-m 32mm later, maybe Christmas... Thanks for all the insight that you have brought to this process with your vids... Please keep them coming.
Great video. I don’t think anyone else has really reviewed this lens for ef-m yet. I have the 22, 28, 32, 11-22 and kit already for the m50..trying to decide if I want this one next or the 18-150..maybe this one as low light indoors capability is more important on these dark, cold winter days! Have the 50mm f1.4 EF with adapter but it’s not very sharp wide open.
drone head I have this lens for my a6400. It’s perfect for portraits and extremely sharp wide open. For indoor is a little to tight for full body shot. I have also the canon 50mm f1.8 stm and this sigma is sharp at f1.4 like the canon at f4
Light Yagami - thanks for info. I like this focal length for grabbing candid shots of my kids around the house! Using flash spoils the moment. Sharp at f1.4 gives me a chance of getting a reasonable ISO and nicely blurred background. M50 gets pretty noisy around ISO 3200. I'm sure Sony is better! Only thing with this lens is no IS so have to hold it steady! Think I'll try to buy it though. Thanks again.
Canon M6 II already has a firmware upgrade for 24p as of 13 Mar 2020.
So, is the expensive EF lenses with the adapter better than this EF-M from Sigma? Please, I have a Canon M6 and I want to buy lenses but don't know which one to buy to this camera.
You said there is no equivalent lens for the canon ef-m mount, but if you don't mind (or prefer!) manual then the Samyang (Rokinon) 50mm f1.2 has been around for ages (couple of years?) for ef-m. I use it on my M3. 80mm equivalent. Sharp enough, very nice lens if you don't mind manual. I've loved using it, and so I imagine the Sigma 56mm f1.4 would be a similar experience. It would be interesting to see how the sharpness and IQ of those two lenses compare. I agree that 30-35mm (~50mm equivalent) is more useful indoors for family/kids etc. But you can sit across a room (or in a garden) with an aps-c 50mm and get nice candid shots with subject isolated by f1.4.
thanks for this video, I got it on my new Canon Eos M6 Mark II and I am really happy with it
Looking to get the M6 Mark ii... it's in my budget range I like the touch screen and size...and it now has 24fps. I currently use my iPhone and osmo pocket for my videos and want to up my video game. Judging by your video... I think I may as well go with the kit lens option... especially with the additional stabilization. There are two lens kit options on B&H... the 18-150mm and the 15- 45mm lens... which one is better as an "all in one"... I will be shooting food and me... my bbq Pitts and anything else in the back yard... I know nothing about cameras except what I have watched on a lot of videos... and they just make things more confusing. Thanks.
I’m sure you bought some camera by now, but if you’re still considering the m6ii, try to get the 18-150mm kit. You will appreciate the longer zoom on it. 18mm is close enough to 15mm so you’ll have a wide enough shot to start with and still be able to zoom in pretty far. After that you can start working on building your prime lens collection, starting with the 22mm ($200, best value on EF-m), then either the 11-22mm (ultra wide) or 32mm (standard, best lens on the system), depending on what kinda shots you want. Both of those are upwards of $400. Coming from a happy M6ii owner with all the Canon lenses except for the 18-150 and 18-55 kit lenses. Hope this helps.
Thanks for all the picture examples
“Dull” is an optical characteristic common to all Sigma lenses.
I thought the same thing...poor contrast...and not that sharp...but maybe TH-cam's compression is part of those problems.
The 1.6x crop factor makes these lenses less wide than on E mount.
True, it's like 89.6mm equivalent on the canon vs 84mm on the sony.
best lens review ive ever seen. thanks
No AF issues with my Sigma 30mm f/1.4, paired with a Sony A6400. Both with the latest firmware.
This or the 16mm? I know they are for different purpose, i only have the 35 right now. And i cant buy both right now
What a great review! Thank you so much for your time and effort in making this video. I have been waiting for a solid sigma efm mount review for a while now! 👍👍👍
Can you do some action sports shots with the m50?
the m6 mark ii already got firmware update with 24fps video
Fantastic video on this lens ! Great job !!!!
Simple and nice point of vue! Thx
This lens is excellent all around.
Great review. Very honest. The Sigma Art lenses were a godsend on the Sony system as it improved the colors on the Sony aps-c sytem from my personal experience. The Canon and M6ii colors on original eos m lenses are excellent. The 50stm may be better for the price and look to the 30mm or 16mm in the Sigma.
Thanks for the kind words. I agree that the 50 stm is probably better value.
Why are you using your a7iii in crop mode? Is that any better than FF?
Because it'll vignette if you put crop sensor lens on it
@@thatboypat07 Yeah but why not use a FF lens?
You don't lose any quality shooting 4k video in crop mode on the a7iii and I like the focal length and fast aperture the sigma 16mm provides. Plus the equivalent full frame lens (Sony EF 24mm 1.4) costs $1,400.
Excellent videos, congratulations! What lens do you advise for gastronomic photography
Lovely video mate
Just a question,does your canon recognise this 3rd party lens for distortion correction?
Thanks for making this. I've been waiting for a review for this lens on EFM system for a while. Very honest and informative. I pretty much shot over 95% of my photos with the Canon EFM 32mm F1.4. I also have the EF50mm F1.8 STM with Canon adapter, which I thought i would use a lot but didn't really. When the Sigma 56mm came out i so wanted to buy one, but once i calm down and watch this review, i feel i might just be falling for the excitement of getting new gear. Maybe this focal length is just not a good fit for the stuff i personally shoot. Anyway, thanks for saving me some money i can spend elsewhere :)
Agreed. If you don't do much portraiture, then you better off with the 50F1.8stm and cheaper $20-$30 adapter. This focal length is very restrictive if you enjoy street photography, videos, selfies etc.
Do you enjoy shooting with the 32mm f1.4?
@@nasrulfizzani1514 it’s the best EF-M lens by far. I personally love it, second fave being the 22mm pancake.
Oooh I want this
Thank you, Ben! Great and informative video! Subscribed for more!
I have a noob question. What does the mm mean and what does it do in a lens kit... 😁
Sigma advertised the 56mm for video shooting. Would like to see some video test shots 😉👍
why isnt my sigma 56mm f/1.4 fitting my canon m50
Is this lens’s need adapter?
Because I buy one of those,and it’s don’t match
I like the UX better on Canon than Sony. Maybe I should change my a5100 for a m50 now when those lenses are available.
Which lens do you think is better the 56mm or the 16mm? I’m a beginner and I’m planning on buying a M50 as my first camera . I’m doing my research and most of the cons I’m hearing on that it’s not a full frame camera and it’s poor low light picture quality. I’m a traveler and just want one lens that I could pretty much use for all or most situations of taking pictures of myself while I travel . Which lens would you recommend for the M50 ? and my lens budget is 300$ to 600$ .
You prob already bought this but i’d recommend the 16mm since it seems you want to take selfie style pics or even vlogs. The M50 is great in low light as long as you have a fast lens (low aperture). Anything 2.0 or below, like these 1.4 lenses, and you’re good.
A useful comparison would be between something like the Canon 50/1.4 and the Sigma...the Canon is small-ish and only $299 right now...but even the regular price of $399 is cheaper than the Sigma.
The EF USM version? He most likely doesn’t own that lens and it’s even bulkier than the Sigma, especially considering the necessary adapter for the 27 year-old lens. I’d take a 3rd party lens of the same focal length and max aperture but with a native mount any day, unless you already have the old Canon lying around. The 1.4 USM has a loud focus motor compared to this newer lens. For stills it should be solid, but again, only if there’s already one in your collection would i recommend it over the Sigma. Viltrox also recently released a 56mm with AF this year worth checking out.
@@Linteria Another option is the Can0n 50/1.8. It, and the MC-11, with about 25 grams less than this Sigma, and can be had for about 1/2 the price. Anyway, it's good to have options.
Do I need an adapter for the 56mm on a 90d canon?
On the 90d you cannot use ef-m lenses
Would have been great if the product was in focus.
Thank you for the review
Great review and really useful information! Thank you for nice video 👍🏻
will this work on the cannon m200?
Checked your old youtube channel-Web Concepts----the videos are awesome....just wondering if you abandoned the channel...any new videos coming there?
Appreciate the kind words. I do plan on making more webconcepts videos in the near future. Wanted to practice a little bit on this channel first.
I'm reaaaaaally having trouble deciding which camera to get (as my second camera) - Z50 or M6MkII ;/
Which camera do you have on first place?
Jainam Satunda I’m shooting now with GH5. But I want to use it only on client works, so I need a new camera for vlogging.
@@isavkov vlogging? You need ibis, mate. Smll Oly or panny should do the trick
Go to the store and try them out for yourself.
If it's just for vlogging I would say get the Canon m50 also ask yourself if you're planning on upgrading to the FF cameras of the companies in the future. They are different. I believe the Nikon z6 uses the same lenses as the z50 which is a plus. But again if you just need the camera for vlogging you'll have a smaller and cheaper setup with Canon oh and a flip screen aswell..!
I'd get Sony a6400
How can i attach this to my apsc canon camera? (1200D or Rebel T5)
You can't.
what about video?
And no IBIS on apsc cam
Does the eis works in photo with this lens?
It does, but it's limited to basic EIS. Enhanced EIS is only available in video mode.
No thanks. Stick with my EF line with speed booster for my canon m line.
Tammy Sypniewski Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 can give you the same focal length down to f/1.2 with the speed booster. My only issues with speed boosters and full frame lenses are the weight and the bulk in front of a small camera
Snowwalker disadvantages with speedboosters. Bigger Size, Heavier Weight, Slower Autofocusing, Focusing Noise, Lens Image Stabilisation might not work, Lesser Image Quality compared to when the lens is used on an actual full frame camera.
Kaver Jordan Kharbteng yes I’ve experienced all of that. The only occasion a speed booster could be useful is in landscape photography or in low light situations.
Snowwalker , For low light and wider field of view, Speedboosters are a smart choice. 👍
Speedbooster + ef = less sharpness.
No thanks, i will stick to my efm line.
3 primes, you forgot the 28mm f3.5 macro 😀
Ah my bad. No excuse for forgetting that one. I've even been considering buying it to experiment with some focus stacking.
Ben Bjurstrom I would definitely be interested in that video. I have already bought the m6 mark II, the 11-22mm and the 22mm. The macro capabilities of the 28mm in combination with focus bracketing feature of the m6 mark II makes it an interesting combination, I have a friend who wants me to help shoot some product shots and for some of those a macro lens would probably be useful (really small products). Right now I am really tempted to get the 32mm f1.4, I hope I can eventually find one at a decent price. I really like your videos by the way, keep up the good work! 😀
I use a 85mm on my 6D ; it is very difficult to take it off the camera. I have other lenses less than 1% of the time.
Good video
The guy probably has both the m and sony e. And after all this jibber jabber all we get is a photo of pup. Really?
Hey man, do you know if the M6 mark ii has clean HDMI out ? Thanks!
It does clean 4k or 1080 out but only in movie mode.
Talk talk talk and no essence. Please think what you want to tell us. Presented "best picture" - dull ugly picture. No zoom into the photo nothing interesting.
so annoying that lenses out of focus
Agreed. Will shoot the next one at a higher aperture to get more depth of field. Appreciate the feedback.
Indonesia 🤝
Saya kagum, semoga kita bisa berteman dengan baik 👍
*bro I am a youtube creator, do this lens have stabilisation, please reply bro*
APPUZ TUBE - it dont have stabilization
No Sigma lenses for the EF-M mount have stabilization.
First to view, like and comment.?????
Yeah
It’s flat...that’s what all those elements do to light.
"Only $90"
I'll take the Sigma.
This sigma lens is nearly $500, where did you get 90?
Laythas the Paladin He's referring to the point of price for the Sigma being $90 cheaper than the Canon 32mm.
the Canon is miles better. Easily the best lens for the mount.
@@Linteria If better you mean smaller, then yes. It's "miles better".
@@WillShrop correct, smaller… and sharper, with better colors, better skin tones, better shadow/highlight rolloff, and better performance wide open. Lol.
The Sigma is also really good, but only in video does it slightly have an edge with it’s quicker and quieter AF. Overall, the Canon is “miles better”.
Sigma made in Japan. No one would buy a Rolex made in Mexico.
Too late for me now, I moved to fuji x system
Art - LOL you mean the slow Grindy-focussing Fuji 56mm is better than this lens? Based on what, other than fanboying out?
@Art Wow a lot of blah blah blah and bluster here from self proclaimed expert. You can say what you want, but internal fast focussing is a worthwhile attribute. Why do you think all the Fuji fanboys are constantly begging Fuji to do MkIIs of the 18mm, 35mm f/1.4, 56mm etc? I have no reason to believe the Fuji (which I've owned) to be optically any better than the Sigma, apart from a marginal difference in speed. Not sure your point on people using f/2.8 lenses? Are you a noob? It's ok to be a noob, just stop trying so hard. You also realise that metal dents and plastic bounces right? Keep fanboying, fanboy.
Why the hell do they call something that lets in more light "fast"...
SpaceOrbison it allows for a faster shutter speed at the equivalent ISO
Could have been god but Er, um, Er....
Yeah, that bothered me too. Appreciate the feedback.
EF-M is dead.
Not even close. Haters gon' hate.
@@Linteria
I don't hate it. I just don't see much of a future for EF-M. Also, given the fact that the Canon choose to put the RF mount on the C70 should indicate that Canon plans on making the RF system both 135/VistaVision and APS-C/S35. If that is their plan, it doesn't sense for Canon to have two incompatible lens mounts to cover the same format.
What's more, since the first EF-M camera, Canon has only released 8 lenses from 2012-2018 and nothing since. Also in 2018, Canon released the RF system and have 17 lenses since then.
@@Crlarl were you expecting an EF-M mount on the C70? The RF is the replacement for their classic EF mount, so of course their focus is on that. But you’re ignoring the sales numbers of their EF-M cameras, particularly the M50, and many of the EF-M bodies continue to sell really well. I agree that Canon has slacked big-time with first party lenses, but the lenses they have released so far are really good. Third party ones have also been nourishing the mount for years. There are many brands releasing good quality, affordable manual lenses like 7artisans, Neewer and Kamlan, and some great, highly-acclaimed AF lens trios have come out from companies like Sigma last year and Viltrox in the past 2 months. First party options have been lacking, this is true, but the mount is far from dead.
