Just in case anyone is looking for feedback regarding this awesome trio, I can speak from first-hand experience with the 16mm. Here I figured it would thrive primarily as a great vlogging, and street photography lens, but it is fantastic as a portrait lens too! Generally I reserve that type of praise for the nifty fifty's, and the 85mm lenses, but the 16mm allows me to get nice and close to my subjects. I love that lens and would honestly recommend it as my first choice out of the three.
I was planning on getting the Canon 32mm f/1.4 EF-M for my M50 (Mark II) but I already made up my mind to get the Sigma 30mm due to the fact that it's way cheaper, has a sleeker look, the images look baetter to me & I love the fact that it comes with the lens hood.
GOLD!! Actual gold. I love all this demo footage and the fact that you showed how far away you have to be for each? Yay I've decided the 30mm is best for me. Thankyou!! you made it so easy
Sigma also have a lens-mount changing service, so if you change to Sigma+Leica's native L-mount, Sony E-mount or Panasonic/Olympus MFT-mount, you can save money by paying a small amount for the conversion rather than a large amount for new lenses. All three of those mounts have stabilization, too ;)
I really loved hearing your perspective on these lenses and your uses as well as limitations you found with each focal length. I haven’t used the 30mm because I already had the Canon 32mm but there was one thing I’ve distinctly noticed with my 16mm and 56mm when compared to my 22mm and 32mm - that’s the color rendering. My greens tend to look cooler and there’s more magenta tint to the image. It’s not a distraction by any means, but I do prefer the color from the Canon lenses when tested side-by-side…but they’re still incredible lenses and very welcome to the M-mount.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing that. I've always wanted to do an even MORE comprehensive review and comparison of all the lenses by both brands- so I will consider color and look out for this whenever I do 😃
The 16mm is definitely my favorite! There are cheaper alternatives that I would consider for 50mm & 80mm aps-c equivalent focal lengths, but I don’t know of any other alternative for the 16mm lens with an aperture below 2.8
Just waiting to receive my M50 this was super detailed, informative and great use case examples that are so practical and well thought out from the buyer's perspective of all levels!
Hi Alicia! I found out about your channel because of the TH-cam suggestions and I'M BLOWN AWAY! The way you explain it's absolutely amazing and I love your honesty and knowledge. At the time I own a CANON EOS M50 and I love it. Recently I got a Canon lens 11-22 mm and I'd like to keep adding lenses to my kit (I do daily vlogs+beauty content+life) so I'm hesitating about getting the sigma 30mm or 16 mm. What do you think would work best with my other lenses? I'm not trying to "upgrade" the one that I have, just trying to add one more to my collection and make different shots. Thank you for taking the time for reading this!
Wow this was incredibly helpful! For filming youtube beauty videos, I only have about 1.5m space in front of me to place the camera, do you think 30mm will work or should I look at 16mm instead?
I was thinking the same. I have approx 1 m distance to place my camera and wondering which lens to buy fir my canon m50? I want nice bokeh too. Please help
There is a nice app for iPhone called PhotoPills. With that app one can choose camera type, focal length etc and it calculates the Field of View and size at certain distances, as well as depth of focus to see how quickly the background get blurred.
Great video. I've been waiting for this. I currently have the 30mm and love it for photography. I plan to get the 16mm shortly. And the 56mm eventually. This just makes me want to get them all right now.
I am learning so much from your videos. I got the 16mm Sigma for my Canon M50 based on your video. I am just 1 day in but it is absolutely amazing. Thank you.
I love the joby tripod. It's extremely versatile and is a very sturdy, high quality product. I stumbled upon your channel recently and can't thank you enough for the in depth information about the Canon M6 Mark II & videos like this that have taught me so much. Thank you!!
I have the M50 and purchased the Sigma 16mm and I have 6 grandkids it works great making videos of them , I can get nice shots of them skateboarding, play basketball and just running around. Also the1.4 great indoor shots
just found your channel while researching the canon m50! great content! Now I know what camera I will get as I am revamping my YT channel and will def get the trio lens! Thanks again! Signed a new subbie!
Love this video and the informational analysis! So if I were to get one extra lens in addition to the kit lens, it would be either the 16 or 30mm right?
How does the 15-45mm kit lens compare to these Sigma lenses? 🤔 I mostly use the 22mm w/ my M50 since it's awesome in low light, but I swap it for the 15-45 when I take my camera anywhere I might need to zoom. I've tried the 11-22mm for versatility, but it's terrible in low light. I'm trying to figure out if the 15-45 can get crisp zoom shots and it's just user error, if I should spring for the 30mm Sigma, or if I should upgrade my camera to something better for combo video/photo usage. I love how compact my M50 is, and I was hoping the new M50 Mark II would be my answer, but it seems to offer few improvements. Appreciate any advice you can offer. ♥
I recently discovered your amazing channel and as I'm a lucky m50 owner as well I'm really thankful to you for all the fantastic content you're publishing. As I'm about to buy my first sigma lens I was wondering which one, in your opinion, is the best for travel footages. I guess the 30mm is the best one but I'm still not 100% sure 🤔
Incredible video. Hate to be a copycat to comments below, but this is one of the best product explainer/comparison videos I've ever seen. I went with the 30mm! Thanks!
For a canon m50 body will sigma 30 mm will be 48 mm because of 1.6x crop factor( is it only when 4K mode or also in 1080p mode too?). I m confused to choose between 16 mm vs 30 mm fir my m50 as my videos will be makeup tutorials where I want to be appear close enough with a blurry background. Can someone recommend me please? Does the crop factor only applies to 4 k videos or in any resolution?
Great video 👍 Thank you for that informative comparison on the lenses. For my use I think the 16 mm will be the best option. I will really consider buying one 👍 Stay safe and healthy
this is such a well made video! love the comparison between 3 lenses and it is just so professional. im planning to get a lens for portrait photos/ some b roll for my vlogs. which do you think (16/30mm) would be a better choice? anyway big support from Hong Kong and love your vids!
Thanks so much! For portraits and B roll I'd say the 30.. it's going to give you gorgeous portraits and nice close-up and personal B Roll.. you will love it 😊 And hello to Hong Kong!
Thanks for the video! I'm wondering if you would (or would not) also recommend the sigma 30mm ART HSM + viltrox adapter over the sigma dc 30mm? Thank you!
The only thing that's stopping me from buying Sigma 30mm lens is the manual focus because it's focusing system is fly-by-wire and i have heard that it's pretty bad & jerky if you're focusing manually. Can you please tell me if that's true? Amazing video as always!
1:16 "Fascinating." Just like this video! Thank you! :D 9:18 That background music transition is on-point. 12:25 The "AMaeTV" logo lines up almost perfectly with the stick on your Mac. Lolz.
Hey Alicia, absolutely love your videos! I was wondering for APsc cameras you have to multiply the crop factor for the aperture as well? For example for the sigma 30mm f1.4, would be the equivalent of a 45mm full frame size, so would the f1.4 change or remain constant at 1.4? Thank you so much
Thank you Alicia for this video! I began using canon eos m200 with a kit lens but I hope to try one of these or canon 22 mm lens. I wonder what you think of canon 22 mm lens and shooting with different bit. What's you recomendation? Are you shooting with 10 bit cameras or you just do not feel like it is necessary for your needs? thank you!
thanks you for this review , i was looking for video performence of these lens but counldn't find one . if you have any experience of useing this lens for fuji x mount please share .
Thank you so much for a clear, informative comparison...but now I'm stumped on which one to get. (Can only get one now.) I have a new M50, and I put the Canon 18-150mm EF-M lens on it, which I love. Should I get the 16mm or the 30mm? With the cheaper price on the 30 I might be able to swing a gimbal also. Not a vlogger, but I love taking video, and will be making content for my church. Any advice?

This is the best breakdown of prime lenses I’ve seen and I’ve worked professionally in the industry for years... 👍
Thanks so much Matthew! It was a lot to cover but a lot of fun too 😄
Tech Gear Talk covers these lenses pretty well too th-cam.com/video/uORT1dfeS0M/w-d-xo.html
Yeah she did a damn good job. ⭐️

Never seen a better review than this !
I was planning on getting the Canon 32mm f/1.4 EF-M for my M50 (Mark II) but I already made up my mind to get the Sigma 30mm due to the fact that it's way cheaper, has a sleeker look, the images look baetter to me & I love the fact that it comes with the lens hood.
This is the best video I have seen produced from M50, cannot believe it’s that camera. Can I ask what are the other settings you are using.
Alicia! Just discovered you today. Will definitely be checking out more on your channel. Thanks for this!
GOLD!! Actual gold. I love all this demo footage and the fact that you showed how far away you have to be for each? Yay I've decided the 30mm is best for me. Thankyou!! you made it so easy
That was really a wonderful video presentation discussing the Sigma lenses. I never really understood their purpose before. Thank you so very much. 😊
I just got the 30mm one and I'm blown away
Best lenses I ever got, can't recommend them enough. If you ever take photos indoors you will be grateful for the day you got the 16mm f/1.4
Sigma also have a lens-mount changing service, so if you change to Sigma+Leica's native L-mount, Sony E-mount or Panasonic/Olympus MFT-mount, you can save money by paying a small amount for the conversion rather than a large amount for new lenses.

Yes it's true! That 16mm is one of a kind for sure.
What cheaper alternatives you would recommend?
Best review of sigma lens for m50. I'm really convinced that I need sigma m series lenses for my m50. Thank you
Just waiting to receive my M50 this was super detailed, informative and great use case examples that are so practical and well thought out from the buyer's perspective of all levels!
Thanks so much!! I’m glad it was helpful and can hopefully help you make a decision on best lenses for your new M50 ☺️
I would love for you to compare these lenses with the sigma 18-35mm

Again a great review Alicia. Thanks for that. I'm still not into the 16mm but I've ordered the 56mm to complete my trio (11-22, 30, 56).
Wow this was incredibly helpful! For filming youtube beauty videos, I only have about 1.5m space in front of me to place the camera, do you think 30mm will work or should I look at 16mm instead?
Yes I’m wondering this to for my wife’s channel...she wants a good bokeh for the background but also in a very small space to shoot
I was thinking the same. I have approx 1 m distance to place my camera and wondering which lens to buy fir my canon m50? I want nice bokeh too. Please help

If ur using an apsc camera like this canon m50 use 16mm
Great video. I've been waiting for this. I currently have the 30mm and love it for photography. I plan to get the 16mm shortly. And the 56mm eventually. This just makes me want to get them all right now.
Haha I bet! The lens buying addiction is real. That sounds like a good plan though.. you will love the 16 :)
Beauty with intelligence - perfect combo - you are rocking 👌🔥👍
Good hands on review and comparison 👍
I am learning so much from your videos. I got the 16mm Sigma for my Canon M50 based on your video. I am just 1 day in but it is absolutely amazing. Thank you.
did you have to buy a mount?
love this video, I purchased the 30mm sigma for my M50 and absolutely love it; would buy it again
Thank you for the video. I will go with 16 & 56mm lenses
I loved your video, your voice is so teaching. Definitely will get the 16mm sigma lense. About to checkout your m50 setup. One love
Excellent reviews and I am glad that you are here in Atlanta area. Hello neighbor.
I love the joby tripod. It's extremely versatile and is a very sturdy, high quality product. I stumbled upon your channel recently and can't thank you enough for the in depth information about the Canon M6 Mark II & videos like this that have taught me so much. Thank you!!
I'm tempted with a 16mm or 30mm so I can't thank you enough for the level of detail in this video.
Amazing video! Packed with so much information. These are great lenses for sure. Thanks for sharing!
I have the M50 and purchased the Sigma 16mm and I have 6 grandkids it works great making videos of them , I can get nice shots of them skateboarding, play basketball and just running around. Also the1.4 great indoor shots
I use a sigma 28-200mm that I use with a viltrox speed booster. I like how sigma lenses work.
Very informative video as usual Alicia...Those lenses are very cool... Stay safe Hun with all that is going on. :)
just found your channel while researching the canon m50! great content! Now I know what camera I will get as I am revamping my YT channel and will def get the trio lens! Thanks again! Signed a new subbie!
I love how your child smiles😁
I thought I need to go to sonys line up to achieve these type of sharpness in video but woooww Im in love with the m50 again.
Thanks ! Very informative, i like How detailed it was with all the examples !
Really good review, thank you!
Just saw this now. Very well presented 👍🏼 You’re a natural. Keep up the great videos/vlogs.
Very informative, im so close to buying one of the trio for my m50! Thanks dear!
Sure thing! Glad it helped :) You will love owning these lenses!
Awesome video. I'm not sure which lens I'll get but I'll get it off your link to support your channel
OMG 😳 YOUR COLOUR GRADE...🤤
Out of this world...beautiful and sharp images. 🌺🌳
Great review, I really enjoyed this, very informative 👍😊
Keep it up Alicia! This is really informational and awesome!
I’m subscribing to this channel. You are so detailed and I do love your breakdowns thank you
Thanks Antonio! Welcome to the channel :)
Damn good job on the vid! 🍾
I have just invested in a Canon eos M50 for filming.
Mainly because of your cool videos and reviews.
Thumbs up from a Danish fan :D
That’s so awesome to hear! I’m sure you will love the M50 😃😃
Mae shoulda kept up wit thus you'd have million subs by now. 💯
I have a question ,
Does sigma make two types of these lenses, for canon and sony ?
Yes!
Hi alicia! Thank you. You really explained it very well.
Amazing video and so helpful. Thank you!
Thank you, great explaination!
What a great review and comparison! 30mm & 16mm for me 🙌🏼
Love this video and the informational analysis! So if I were to get one extra lens in addition to the kit lens, it would be either the 16 or 30mm right?
Lots of details no one else has covered - thanks :)
An excellent & complete review! Thanks.
Nice comprehensive review, I personally use these trio of Sigma lenses for my videos and I love them 😎👍🏻
That's awesome to hear, and thanks! I think you may be the first person commenting who owns all 3 👍🏼
56mm my best for product shoots. I will love to see 120fps slow motion
I really like your teaching style! Great job!

I went with the 30mm! Thanks!
Your daughter is the sweetest 💖😗
Great Video. Thanks for doing such a Great Job !
Hi from indonesia..i'm ur new subscriber..thanks for the review by the way😊✌🏽
Really helpful. I would have been confused on which to get. Since I'm normally filming myself indoors, I'm thinking the 16mm is best for me.
Yep I think you'll be happy with the 16!
Super film! Thank you!
After watching this video i can safely say that I haven't received my stimulus money, but i have already spent it. Lol 😆
For a canon m50 body will sigma 30 mm will be 48 mm because of 1.6x crop factor( is it only when 4K mode or also in 1080p mode too?).

Nice one! They are brilliant lens.... I will have at least one from this line once the isolation is all done with 😓....#stayhome #staysafe
Great video 👍
Thank you for that informative comparison on the lenses.
For my use I think the 16 mm will be the best option.
I will really consider buying one 👍
Stay safe and healthy
So glad you enjoyed the video! You will love the 16mm.. We are definitely staying safe and healthy and we hope you do the same 😃
this is such a well made video! love the comparison between 3 lenses and it is just so professional.
im planning to get a lens for portrait photos/ some b roll for my vlogs. which do you think (16/30mm) would be a better choice?
anyway big support from Hong Kong and love your vids!
Thanks so much! For portraits and B roll I'd say the 30.. it's going to give you gorgeous portraits and nice close-up and personal B Roll.. you will love it 😊 And hello to Hong Kong!
Thanks for the video! I'm wondering if you would (or would not) also recommend the sigma 30mm ART HSM + viltrox adapter over the sigma dc 30mm? Thank you!
all of these are great lenses. sigma saved the M mount with these beauties.
Great Video! What do you think about the Canon EF 11-22mm lens? Which one of the Sigma Lens Trio would take its place?
The only thing that's stopping me from buying Sigma 30mm lens is the manual focus because it's focusing system is fly-by-wire and i have heard that it's pretty bad & jerky if you're focusing manually. Can you please tell me if that's true? Amazing video as always!
Awesome! Thank you for the info! You explain very clear! :)
Finally someone showing examples. All these tech dudes. Talk over your head
Sooo... which Sigma EF-M lens is your favorite?
► Sigma 16mm f/1.4 EF-M amzn.to/36YVFnN
► Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EF-M amzn.to/2QU8YjK
► Sigma 56mm f/1.4 EF-M amzn.to/2UKujgH
I also use a Rokinon 16mm lens that I like.
The link to B&H for the Sigma Trio is broken. Maybe it’s no longer sold there. Just FYI.
Excellent videos, congratulations! What lens do you advise for gastronomic photography,Thanks!
2:36 - A GREAT point that so many people miss! And a +1 for the Modest Mouse shirt @ 3:20. ;-)
Very helpful! Thanks for the hard work! Sigma should let you keep them!
Nice clear run down. Thanks
Wish Sigma would have made a 22 or 23mm. 16 is 25.6mm and just too wide for my uses. Ended up with the Viltrox 23 f/1.4 instead.
Your video quality was really good. 👍🏽 What picture profile did you use???
Have you covered the EF-M 18-150 mm?
1:16 "Fascinating." Just like this video! Thank you! :D
9:18 That background music transition is on-point.
12:25 The "AMaeTV" logo lines up almost perfectly with the stick on your Mac. Lolz.
Hey Alicia, absolutely love your videos! I was wondering for APsc cameras you have to multiply the crop factor for the aperture as well? For example for the sigma 30mm f1.4, would be the equivalent of a 45mm full frame size, so would the f1.4 change or remain constant at 1.4?
Thank you so much
Nice showing, thx
Thank you Alicia for this video! I began using canon eos m200 with a kit lens but I hope to try one of these or canon 22 mm lens. I wonder what you think of canon 22 mm lens and shooting with different bit. What's you recomendation? Are you shooting with 10 bit cameras or you just do not feel like it is necessary for your needs? thank you!
Alicia...great vid! Which of these would you recommend for a sit-down interview?
thanks you for this review , i was looking for video performence of these lens but counldn't find one . if you have any experience of useing this lens for fuji x mount please share .
I would like to see comparison with EOS M50 digital video stabe turned on and enhanced, especially with 56mm
Thank you so much for a clear, informative comparison...but now I'm stumped on which one to get. (Can only get one now.) I have a new M50, and I put the Canon 18-150mm EF-M lens on it, which I love. Should I get the 16mm or the 30mm? With the cheaper price on the 30 I might be able to swing a gimbal also. Not a vlogger, but I love taking video, and will be making content for my church. Any advice?
Dam i wish I can have her personally review everything in my life.
What lens did you use to do your sitting down part? Thank you!
You do gorgeous work!!!
The 56mm is a ef-m lens? Or Do you need an adaptor when you mount the 56mm to canon eos m3?
