The other big difference between the 2 lenses is video autofocus speed. For photos, they’re about the same. For video, the Sigma is noticeably faster. Another thing to consider is ND filters. The Sigma is a bit easier to find ND filters, but the 43mm thread on the Canon makes it a bit more difficult. Lastly, if you’re using a compact gimbal like the Crane M2, you’ll be better off with the Canon lens because the weight of the Sigma 30mm is a bit too much.
I think testing sharpness requires minimal focus distance, medium focus distance, infinity three scenarios. Lenses change behaviour quite significantly ,optimized for infinity or not may impact a buying decision
Great review man - Sigma always seems to be the bang for your buck type lenses that will get you 95% there, but for the professional who makes a living from it, it's worth going a little higher end I think.
For typical use cases for this lens the sharpness in the corners or edges probably isn't going to matter, since the subject will be in the center, and everything else will contained a blurred out background anyway.
Thanks!!!!! Awesome video Im new at this so Im not quite ready for expensive lenses Im gonna get the 30mm sigma then!! and just wondering which budget friendly macro lense you would recommend? The canon 100mm its way to expensive for me lol.. 😅 any other option out there btw im using a M50... !! Thanks again for the video
Good review, I bought the Canon 32mm before the Sigmas were available in M mount and for my use, it is an excellent lens that I really enjoy using. If I were buying today, well I like Sigma they are always excellent quality and value for money, I suspect that I would buy the Sigma and save the cash for another lens.
I'm learning so much from your videos man thanks so much for the effort, quality and clarity you give us with the easy to understand information. My question, I'm building a TH-cam channel focusing on app reviews and product unboxings in the classic top down overhead shot. I'm using the M50 at 4K 24fps so the huge crop factor is causing me a problem as I'm using the kit lens. The other issue I face is my room has little natural light so even with a lighting set up, the low light performance on that kit lens doesn't cut it. The first mistake I made was buying a Viltrox speedbooster as it doesn't fit the kit lens so I'm sending it back. The second mistake was buying the 22M F/2 as although it fixes the low light issue, I still have the huge crop problem when shooting at 4K. Given the type of video I am trying to create and mainly to fix the crop issue whilst retaining that great low light performance, can I get the results I need with the Sigma 30mm? As it's within my budget or is the Sigma 16mm the only option for me? Or do you have any better suggestions?
blackcoffee Yeah, I realize that. I know the Canon is capable of faster autofocus (just look at how fast it is for photos), so it would be nice if there was a way to choose between cinematic or fast AF. I have both lens and I tend to use the Canon more because it’s a little sharper, and smaller/lighter.
it's already a great video, though missing on low light test which other than getting the bokeh effect is another reason people getting such a fast lens.
Hey could you do a what’s in your gear bag/ what gear you have I general video. I see you have quite a few different cameras and I’m really interested in what cameras you use for what kinda applications
I have the m50 with the kit lens and the 55-200mm. Just used the 22mm f2 at my first wedding. Its great. But from my research the 32mm 1.4f canon is a must for such shoots. And the 32 just has amazing results from every video I watch
@@fragu123 - Thank you! I’m looking to purchase either the canon 32mm or the sigma, which is why I came across this video. Was leaning more towards the Canon lens from the jump but now I’m positive it’s what I’m going to order. It’s a pricey lens though but feel it will be worth it!
Trying to make the decision right now. I think I'll go with the Canon since my "non-hiking" photo gear is the R with some great lenses, I suspect I'll be too demanding of the Sigma.
please tell me the price of canon m50 with Canon 32mm f/1.4 EF-M and i have herd that if we buy Canon 32mm f/1.4 EF-M the price will be less the actual price is it true ?????? which one is better for portrait photography canon 32 mm 1.4 or canon 50mm 1.8 or sigma 30 mm 1.4???
I already have the Sigma 16mm & 56mm. I love both of them for my Canon M50. I am starting to need lense, which bridges the gap between both. Atm I am leaning towards the Canon lense. Did you see a difference in image stabilization? The Canon lens should have better stabilization, right?
@@guardianobserver6593 you are right, I thought the STM would stand for stabilization, but I was wrong. A hard choice between the two. My main focus will be talking head videos.
Thank you for the video! I'm new to the industry but I have my canon m50 and I just bought sigma f1.4 56 mm and sigma 30 mm. Am I missing something or you can't mount them without an adapter? In every video I looked at it no one says about any adapter. Can someone help me please? 🙏
Hey Laura, you have to purchase the Sigma lenses that are compatible with the Canon EF-M mount. Not any Sigma lens will do; some are Nikon compatible etc.
When you put them one next to the other in size, it makes a difference and the sharpness is very noticeable. But it all depends on what you use it for. Question, I read Canon said they won't be making any more EF lenses. Did you hear about this? and if so, what do you think? I am pretty bothered by it.
The Mamuchos I guess the good thing is, EF mount already has so many lenses and all the good ones have been updated several times, but it does take the excitement out of it. What lenses do you have now?
@@HyunRalphJeong 85, 50, 24-105, 70-300, 10-18 (about to sell this one though) and the kit camera that comes with the m50. Want to get the low light wide lens from sigma that you recommended us. (20mm 1.4) for vlogging indoors or after sunset
Amazing Video Sir.😊😊🥰 Sir plz suggest me some best lenses for my videos. I create educational videos teaching on whiteboard. I am not happy with the video quality of the kit lens of Canon M50. I have EF-EOS M mount adaptor that comes with Canon M50. I shoot at from 24 to 32 focal length. Do solve my problem, Sir. 🙏🙏🙏
After getting the Sigma 16mm and 56mm, I chose the 32mm Canon lens. Wow... it really is worth the price! I am so happy with it.
That's the ideal ef-m lens line up

I’ve used the Sigma 1.4 before, and it’s definitely a great lens.ill have to try Canons

Hands down the best comparison of two lenses I have ever seen. Excellent right to the point comments and reality check. 10 out of 10
I've got my fingers crossed for a new M model, and will get it AND this Canon 32mm as soon at the camera body becomes available. Great review; thanks!
You are rich!
You!!!
Thanks! Looking at getting one of these two lenses, and this covered all the points I was wondering about.
You have become my go to TH-camr for gears. Thanks man.

The lens comparison is dope. Love Sigma lenses. They perform great even with a booster on.
Not sure the Canon 32mm is worth $200 more, but it’s definitely the better lens (unless you want that super fast AF for video).
The Canon is deliberately slowed down for video to offer smooth transition between focus points which looks better on video than quick jumps

I know the Canon is capable of faster autofocus (just look at how fast it is for photos), so it would be nice if there was a way to choose between cinematic or fast AF.

Thank you for another excellent review!
Is there an extra switch or something (saw it in the video) on the Canon lens that the Sigma lacks?
Still don’t know what to buy
heard viltrox is coming to ef-m with a 23, 33 and 56mm 1.4
Yeah and those lenses look very professional...similar to putting an empty can of beans on your camera!
just the video I needed! thx!!
Does the Sigma 30mm have a Stabilizer?
I have a M50, with Canon EF-M 22mm f2. Is the Sigma worth getting? Or should I get a different lens? Thx
I have the m50 with the kit lens and the 55-200mm. Just used the 22mm f2 at my first wedding. Its great. But from my research the 32mm 1.4f canon is a must for such shoots. And the 32 just has amazing results from every video I watch
Canon 32mm 1.4.... it’s by a long mile the best lens for the M series
@@fragu123 - Thank you! I’m looking to purchase either the canon 32mm or the sigma, which is why I came across this video. Was leaning more towards the Canon lens from the jump but now I’m positive it’s what I’m going to order. It’s a pricey lens though but feel it will be worth it!
Good vedio I do have canon 32mm and sigma 56mm both good canon better. But sometimes the image come reddish in sigma ?
Canon makes great lenses. They just usually are not the cheapest.
Trying to make the decision right now. I think I'll go with the Canon since my "non-hiking" photo gear is the R with some great lenses, I suspect I'll be too demanding of the Sigma.
Great review. These lenses will be great for Canon m5p
Thanks for this short but essential video. The canon is worth all the money. It’s such a good lens.
Great comparison.
How fast is the Autofocus from the Sigma 30 1.4 on the M6 Mark i? Is this comparable, with the speed from the Mark ii?
Your studio would look better with some soft glowing accent lights in the background. The superabundant contrast is distracting.
I kinda wanna try the 30mm f1.4 ef lens and speed boost it with my 0.71 reducer
The rendering of the Canon to me is objectively better....
The AF is the only thing the Sigma has over it.

What do you think of Tamron?

You neither pay for the value nor the brand you pay for the maker.

Canon 32mm all day !!!!
Хорошее сравнение, спасибо.
Ещё бы Canon или Sigma сделали похожий объектив со стабилизацией.

32mm F1.4...nice
Hello great videos thank you very much buy sigma, $200 in your pocket 😉
i always watch your video at 1.5× speed because ur pretty slow so you should speed up ur review
Now the canon 32mm lense on a full size sensor camera.
