Thanks for the review! I had the opportunity to buy this lens yesterday on the dutch E-bay (Marktplaats) for € 100,00. So a quick comparison with my A6000 +16-50 kit-zoomlens and the Sigma 30 mm f2.8 was obvious, and indeed the prime lens has a better image quality. Already I'm pleased with this bargain.
I just got this lens and its great, love how compact it is and its cheap. My only gripe is the autofocus isn't perfect, I'm not much of an autofocus guy so may be doing something wrong but I find a lot of the time it just isn't sharp, in manual it's very nice and sharp though.
This lens needs a version 2 with full PDAF coverage and a weather sealing gasket. It's a great compact lens. It works better on the A6400 compared to the A6000 because of the 425 contrast detect points. This lens uses contrast detect outside the centre area. Using the AF-S gives better performance than when on AF-C.
I just got this lens for my a6000 as it was really cheap and brand new old stock. Yeah the PDAF seems to be only in the centre and good lighting and and works better in AF-S
I bought this 2.8 mostly because of its size for travel purposes. It is incredibly sharp for the money though. I used the savings to purchase a 50mm 1.4 FD canon lens and adapter
Nice review video. I'm surprised how tiny the front element of the lens is. I always hear good things about Sigma lenses, especially the ones for the E-mount system.
Great video. I was considering the F/2.8, but I got a fantastic price on the 30mm F/1.4 so I just jumped straight for that, and it is a fantastic piece of kit. No regret!
Thanks for the review on this lens and for the heads up on the rattly element inside the barrel when power is off. I have just taken the plunge and ordered one for my A6400
Anyone can feel free to answer as well. I recently purchased a a600 and the sigma 30mm f2.8. I know nothing about photography just wanted a good camera with the option to change lenses. Plan on using this setup for vacation what would be the best setting to use to. Plan on taking photos of people,objects,scenery your general photos you’ll take when on a trip. Thanks in advance.
Sony 35f is more expansive but better lense. I had the same dilemma and I choosed sigma 30f2.8. I didn't regret. Absolutely great lense, but be aware that it will strugle with focus sometimes but it isn't that bad. If you have money go for sony.
Well I bearly use mine for taking video so it isn't issue for me. If video is priority in your case then maybe you should skip it. Regarding lack of image stabilizator when taking pictures don't worry, with a little pratice you will be able to take great shots.
Haha yes, I spent 11 years in banking, the last 2 of which were in Japan. Since coming back to the US, we moved to Texas, and I recently started a new position as a Financial Advisor.
Hi. I am naive to professional photography as well as camera. I recently bought sony a6500 after being inspired by your videos & got sigma 30mm & 19mm f2.8 lenses. Now when I am trying to use it I am having hard time focusing these lenses even in the auto mode. Can you guide me to a tutorial or help me understand why I am not able to focus with these lenses.
Considering for a6000 as travel/ documentary. Is AF noisy? AF slow to focus? I've seen reviews on verse 30mm f1.4 being slow. Version 2 takes care of that. Is there a version 2 for 30mm f2.8 yet?
I upgraded my 16mm kit to the older version of that lens, the 30mm EX DN. And currently planning on upgrading to either the 30mm 1.4 C or Sony 35mm 1.8. A 3 way comparison would be great if you still have both lenses with you. Love your channel by the way.
Thanks for the comparison to the kit lens. Got this lens on CL for 150 for my first prime and first lens outside the kit. haven't taken it off my a6000 yet. Question: should I add a used sony 50mm 1.8 or sell the Sigma and get the Sony 35mm 1.8? Thanks
Kevin Fitzsimmons the 50 f1.8 is almost like an 85mm pretty zoomed in, its hard to frame a shot without stepping back as far as the moon, i'd go for the 35 f1.8
I would say it depends on what you shoot most. If you do video, SEL35 is great, but if you do pictures, the Sigma you have is very good. I agree with TrueGaxArtz that the 50mm is a tough focal length to use, especially indoors.
I've been watching lens reviews like crazy and it was kinda weird seeing the shopping center near where I live lol. Great review! I'm probably going to get this lens next but I would prefer a 30mm with image stabilization.
Jason pls help me? My camera is the a6300, which should I pick for the portrait lens, cheap aps-c lens like sony 50mm 1.8 ? Or FE lens like Zeiss 55mm 1.8? I need the best quality, what happen if FE lens put into aps-c camera? Is it still good?
Hey arthur, you are very helpful! i have an option to buy a 18-135 kit lens with a sony 6400. and im thiniking to buy also Sigma 30mm F/2.8 EX DN . do i need it, or the kit i good enough?
Hey! I just bought an used one and when I change the aperture it makes a little rattle noise. I dont know if its normal or not. Im using the a6000. What do you think?
If you only want to use the lens for portraits then Sigma 60 mm is the way to go. It's equiv. of 90 mm in full frame terms and is very sharp. 30 mm is a great all around lens.
I have both the sigma 30mm lenses 1.4 & 2.8 ... yes the 1.4 is a nicer lens but you can pick these up used for around $100 & I got my free when I bought a used a6000 a decent lens for day time general use
I've heard from many people that the 19mm is the bastard child of the f/2.8 family -- in other words, not as sharp as the 30mm and 60mm. Have you found this? The 19 is the only one I own and I haven't gotten a chance to test out the others. Do you suspect the 19mm would outperform the kit lens at 19mm as you just showed the 30mm to outperform the kits lens at its equal focal length? Many thanks for these great videos!
The 19mm is the one that has disappointed me most. I think as far as sharpness is concerned, it will be sharper than the kit lens for sure, but the focus "breathing" is the issue that makes it a dealbreaker for me personally.
I was recommended the 30mm 1:2.8 by a friend as my kit lens broke. I can't seem to take good pictures with it at all..especially taking pictures at low-light indoors They're all grainy, slightly blurred and have a wierd colour. What am I doing wrong, as I seem to be alone with these problems!
What mode is the camera in? If all your images in low light are grainy, blurred, and have a weird color, then I'll bet your shooting in full Auto mode. If that's the case, you'll have to learn to shoot in full manual mode (where you dial in all the settings rather than letting the camera decide). Thankfully there's plenty of channels on TH-cam that have tutorial on getting out of Auto.
can you check for pulsating effect in videos? There are some videos on youtube that demonstrate the pulsating effect exhibited by the sigma 19mm lens. Since, these two lenses have similar focus motor, I think the 30mm lens might have the same problem.
Hi! I wanted to ask... have you tried or know someone who has tried the zeiss 24mm f1.8? I've heard really good things about that lens, and the 16cm minimum focus distance sounds AWESOME. I normally wouldn't consider a lens so pricey (a little over $1k new)... but a friend is offering to sell me his copy of the lens (in great conditions) for $450. It's still a significant amount of money, but I figured that is it's 'zeiss quality' good it might be a good chance to own a quality glass.
HI This lens is in my Sony A6000 90% of time For the price is the best lens for Street Photography Sharp, fast lenses and focus good including in low ligth I recomend to buy if your budget is short jajaj
pls help me? My camera is the a6300, which should I pick for the portrait lens, cheap aps-c lens like sony 50mm 1.8 ? Or FE lens like Zeiss 55mm 1.8? I need the best quality, what happen if FE lens put into aps-c camera? Is it still good?
Yes it's still good, and the 50 f/1.8 for APS-C sensors isn't very good. That being said, you still don't need to spend $1000 on the 55 f/1.8 from zeiss to get great IQ. There's loads of options out there
Hey dude love your videos! I just subscribed! I was wondering if you could clear something up for me though. I have an a6500 and am looking for a few good all round lenses. I am completely new to the camera scene - however am confused with lense size. My question is; Do I need to multiply all lenses sizes for my sony a6500 by x1.5 for the true focal length for my camera? (even though they say it is an APSC lense) or is this already taken into consideration? Thanks! Ps (sorry if this seems like a stupid question!)
Ben Warner You're welcome :) Keep in mind that some will me smartasses and correct in the way that the focal length does not change (uh duh?). It's just the field of view that changes :) The focal length always uses full frame (35mm format) as reference, that is why you multiply thr crop factor even though it's an APSC lense. And while we're at it: Since you're using a 6500, I'd recommend you take a look at the Sigma 30 1.4 :D
Brilliant - Yeah im currently spreadsheeting all the reviews on all the lenses I can at the moment lol. The sigma seems to beat the sony 35 so ill pick that up! I need the best range of lenses that cover all types of Photography (including astrophotography) as I will be travelling soon for a year! so will need a good all round few I reckon. Can I mooch you for more info on your thoughts?
I was thinking the 18-105 for convenience (plus it seems to take great shots and a good price) just need something decent for a prime, macro and the stars!
TechnologyMafia i take a lowest ISO on the setting, even i shoot on the bright sun there's still have much noise but if shoot with my 50mm sony f1.8 lens also have noise but not much like the sigma.
That's because you have to color grade that footage in order for it to be useable. It's not noisy, it just looks to the untrained eye like it's noisy. Look up tutorials, I've got one as well, on how to grade S-Log footage
TechnologyMafia I'm sure it's very similar in many ways, but the 2.8 and 1.4 is 2 stops in light. When shooting indoors, it's really a must. For an extra $100 investment, it's well worth it. Not going to break the bank and less then dinner for 3 these days. My perception is if you have the 1.4, you also have the 2.8, but not the other way around. I can't tell you how Manu times that extra 2 stops of lights save my images from camera shake. It's only slightly bigger and as you know, the 1.4 lens was voted lens of the year by so may photographers and reviewers. In a long run, it save people the money from needing to upgrade
I prefer old 30mm 2.8 over new. I have both. New version lost philosofy of a6XXX models. This is not about compact camera anymore. its perfect to use this old lence with 18-135 or 16-50. I i love 11-20 2.8 tokina too. All this lences with compact pholosophy of a6XXX models. In other way if you using only one lence, and all you photos is prortraits i probably chose new sigma 30mm f1.4 over but its not mathc better for normal photographers. Old model realy rocks an its so smaller and lighter.
The f/1.4 DC DN can resolve 155% more pixels-9MP for the f/2.8 version, while the Sony 35mm f/1.8 OSS can resolve 11 MP, and Sigma's 30mm f/1.4 DC DN can resolve 16

I’d love for a further comparison between the kit and this lens. I’d like to see several low light situations with each wide open
Thanks for the review! I had the opportunity to buy this lens yesterday on the dutch E-bay (Marktplaats) for € 100,00. So a quick comparison with my A6000 +16-50 kit-zoomlens and the Sigma 30 mm f2.8 was obvious, and indeed the prime lens has a better image quality. Already I'm pleased with this bargain.
It strikes me as a nice, budget walkaround lens and would be great for that purpose. Kind of for street photography situations.
This is a great lens for the money, no doubt about it....
Nice Alfa Romeo Giulia btw.
Seems like a solid lens. The auto focus seems pretty decent too. I might have to invest in this one. I have the neewer 50mm f/2.0 and I'm loving it.
I just got this lens and its great, love how compact it is and its cheap. My only gripe is the autofocus isn't perfect, I'm not much of an autofocus guy so may be doing something wrong but I find a lot of the time it just isn't sharp, in manual it's very nice and sharp though.
That is the challenge with any non-Sony lens. The Sigma 16mm is a huge improvement in AF over this generation of lenses.
Ah ok makes sense, I guess you have to make a compromise with the AF or pay the price for a sony.
This lens needs a version 2 with full PDAF coverage and a weather sealing gasket. It's a great compact lens. It works better on the A6400 compared to the A6000 because of the 425 contrast detect points. This lens uses contrast detect outside the centre area.
Using the AF-S gives better performance than when on AF-C.
I just got this lens for my a6000 as it was really cheap and brand new old stock.
Yeah the PDAF seems to be only in the centre and good lighting and and works better in AF-S
Love the framing of your videos, so much space 👌🏽
I bought this 2.8 mostly because of its size for travel purposes. It is incredibly sharp for the money though. I used the savings to purchase a 50mm 1.4 FD canon lens and adapter
Nice review video. I'm surprised how tiny the front element of the lens is. I always hear good things about Sigma lenses, especially the ones for the E-mount system.
Thanks for this review! I just got my lens and I'm totally loving it!!!
Great video. I was considering the F/2.8, but I got a fantastic price on the 30mm F/1.4 so I just jumped straight for that, and it is a fantastic piece of kit. No regret!
That's one of my favorite lenses that I've owned
Thanks for the review on this lens and for the heads up on the rattly element inside the barrel when power is off. I have just taken the plunge and ordered one for my A6400

ok,so what's the difference between the Sigma 30mm 1:2.8 EX DN lens and this lens......I'm lost???????????????
I have the sigma 30mm f2.8 EX Dn. It's been a while, I don't remember why the ex version is better. It has a rubber focus ring.
What's do you think? Which of lens better? Sigma 30f2.8 or sony 35f1.8? I want to bought one of this and don't know which of them better for using
Sony 35f is more expansive but better lense. I had the same dilemma and I choosed sigma 30f2.8. I didn't regret. Absolutely great lense, but be aware that it will strugle with focus sometimes but it isn't that bad. If you have money go for sony.
What you say about absence image stabilizator in sigma?
Well I bearly use mine for taking video so it isn't issue for me. If video is priority in your case then maybe you should skip it. Regarding lack of image stabilizator when taking pictures don't worry, with a little pratice you will be able to take great shots.
I'll be waiting compare reviews of this sigma and sony 35f1.8
The Sony can't resolve as much detail as the f/1.4 version from Sigma
What's your full time job? I remember in one of your older videos you moved to Japan or something for your job. Just curious really.
Haha yes, I spent 11 years in banking, the last 2 of which were in Japan. Since coming back to the US, we moved to Texas, and I recently started a new position as a Financial Advisor.
Christopher Burress mm
TechnologyMafia nice! I'm headed to Texas today actually!
You two should do a video together
TechnologyMafia what do you think!? Collab opportunity!
I liked before watch.. I love ALL ur video!
Thank you! That's very nice of you.
Is it good for food photography?
Hi. I am naive to professional photography as well as camera. I recently bought sony a6500 after being inspired by your videos & got sigma 30mm & 19mm f2.8 lenses. Now when I am trying to use it I am having hard time focusing these lenses even in the auto mode. Can you guide me to a tutorial or help me understand why I am not able to focus with these lenses.
Considering for a6000 as travel/ documentary. Is AF noisy? AF slow to focus? I've seen reviews on verse 30mm f1.4 being slow. Version 2 takes care of that. Is there a version 2 for 30mm f2.8 yet?
Can you turn off the autofocus, ie operate it as a manual lens ( ie to get rid of the focus breathing)?
I upgraded my 16mm kit to the older version of that lens, the 30mm EX DN. And currently planning on upgrading to either the 30mm 1.4 C or Sony 35mm 1.8. A 3 way comparison would be great if you still have both lenses with you.
Love your channel by the way.
In case you haven't, check DxOMark .com to compare them on paper first-I think that you'll find that the 30mm f/1.4 C (DC DN) is the best of the three
Nice review. Thank for sharing! I'd pick a 1.4 over 2.8 even though it is a bit bigger.
I would love to see a comparison between the Sony SEL 35mm and the Zeiss Touit 32mm.
Thanks
Hi I’m sorry focus breathing ? I could not see any change of angle of view and when did the focus change ?
Can't wait for the comparison between the Sigmas :)
Thanks for the comparison to the kit lens. Got this lens on CL for 150 for my first prime and first lens outside the kit. haven't taken it off my a6000 yet. Question: should I add a used sony 50mm 1.8 or sell the Sigma and get the Sony 35mm 1.8? Thanks
Kevin Fitzsimmons the 50 f1.8 is almost like an 85mm pretty zoomed in, its hard to frame a shot without stepping back as far as the moon, i'd go for the 35 f1.8
I would say it depends on what you shoot most. If you do video, SEL35 is great, but if you do pictures, the Sigma you have is very good. I agree with TrueGaxArtz that the 50mm is a tough focal length to use, especially indoors.
Could you compare the Sigma 30mm f2.8 with the Sigma 19mm f2.8 please?
Great review as always. Sigma 30/2.8 or Sigma 19/2.8 for everyday usage?
I have both. Find the 30mm more practice. Rarely use the 19mm
Have you compare the sigma 30mm f2.8 with the sony 35mm f1.8?
Both lenses are good ones. Much better than kit lens. I think Sigma 30-2.8 is the cheapest lens for e-mount with autofocus.
I've been watching lens reviews like crazy and it was kinda weird seeing the shopping center near where I live lol. Great review! I'm probably going to get this lens next but I would prefer a 30mm with image stabilization.
Jason pls help me?
My camera is the a6300, which should I pick for the portrait lens, cheap aps-c lens like sony 50mm 1.8 ? Or FE lens like Zeiss 55mm 1.8?
I need the best quality, what happen if FE lens put into aps-c camera? Is it still good?
Hey TechnologyMafia, thanks for all the videos, I always search for your reviews before I decide to buy something as my reference
beginner here, if I mount it on an a6400, does it become a 45mm lens?
Another great review. You remind me of a young Dustin Abbott, one of my favorite reviewers.
I only have the A6000 body now, considering either the kitlens or this Sigma lens. Which would you recommend? I use my camera mostly when travelling.
The kit lens is more versatile, has better autofocus, and is slightly smaller, so I would say start with that.
Can you do comparisong between this lens and the kamlan 28mm f1.4? They are similiary priced at this point...
Hey arthur, you are very helpful! i have an option to buy a 18-135 kit lens with a sony 6400. and im thiniking to buy also Sigma 30mm F/2.8 EX DN . do i need it, or the kit i good enough?
I really don't get how an art series lens is cheaper than a contemporary. Definitely not complaining, just curious lol
Hey! I just bought an used one and when I change the aperture it makes a little rattle noise. I dont know if its normal or not. Im using the a6000. What do you think?
Thank you very much for the video,
please when you get the 30mm compare it to 18- 35
2:42 just got same used one and I heard that ..
I was wondering what it is .. now I know eve2rything is fine :)
Can you give me some advice between Sigma 30mm f2.8 and Sigma 60mm f2.8?
Which one is the best for portrait photo?
If you only want to use the lens for portraits then Sigma 60 mm is the way to go. It's equiv. of 90 mm in full frame terms and is very sharp. 30 mm is a great all around lens.
Much appreciated! Thank you!
^100% agree.
I have both the sigma 30mm lenses 1.4 & 2.8 ... yes the 1.4 is a nicer lens but you can pick these up used for around $100 & I got my free when I bought a used a6000
a decent lens for day time general use
Definitely, the 2.8 is good value for money at about 1/2 to 1/3 of the price of the 1.4.
How good is this lens in low light?
I've heard from many people that the 19mm is the bastard child of the f/2.8 family -- in other words, not as sharp as the 30mm and 60mm. Have you found this? The 19 is the only one I own and I haven't gotten a chance to test out the others. Do you suspect the 19mm would outperform the kit lens at 19mm as you just showed the 30mm to outperform the kits lens at its equal focal length? Many thanks for these great videos!
The 19mm is the one that has disappointed me most. I think as far as sharpness is concerned, it will be sharper than the kit lens for sure, but the focus "breathing" is the issue that makes it a dealbreaker for me personally.
Thanks for the response. Was the focus "breathing" the only reason it disappointed or was the image quality not on par with the others as well?
what do you think the Sony A6000 with this lens with photo?
been testing this out lately, it's quite nice.
I was recommended the 30mm 1:2.8 by a friend as my kit lens broke. I can't seem to take good pictures with it at all..especially taking pictures at low-light indoors They're all grainy, slightly blurred and have a wierd colour. What am I doing wrong, as I seem to be alone with these problems!
What mode is the camera in? If all your images in low light are grainy, blurred, and have a weird color, then I'll bet your shooting in full Auto mode. If that's the case, you'll have to learn to shoot in full manual mode (where you dial in all the settings rather than letting the camera decide). Thankfully there's plenty of channels on TH-cam that have tutorial on getting out of Auto.
What lens did you use to record this video? Do you think that 18 105mm f4 is the best lens I could buy for video as a beginner? Thanks!
Check out "my gear" in the video description. Most of my videos are done with the Sony SEL35F18.
18-105 is a very versatile and well-received lens. Definitely a kit lens substitute for the ambitious beginner.
Did you already review the Sony 20mm F2.8? I would love to see that!
Not yet, I have been watching prices and waiting for the Amazon price to drop to a reasonable level haha.
can you check for pulsating effect in videos? There are some videos on youtube that demonstrate the pulsating effect exhibited by the sigma 19mm lens. Since, these two lenses have similar focus motor, I think the 30mm lens might have the same problem.
It's pretty bad. I bought it to use on a gimbal and i can assure you that you do not want to use this for video
@@TheZimbeatz Hi, are you any samples?thinking to get used one for video-is it really bad?
what's the big deal or why necessary to have this lens?
Hello, nice video! may i ask how is the Bokeh on this lens?
I have this exact same lens loved the review.
Can you compare it to the samyang 35mm f2.8 please?
Hi! I wanted to ask... have you tried or know someone who has tried the zeiss 24mm f1.8? I've heard really good things about that lens, and the 16cm minimum focus distance sounds AWESOME. I normally wouldn't consider a lens so pricey (a little over $1k new)... but a friend is offering to sell me his copy of the lens (in great conditions) for $450. It's still a significant amount of money, but I figured that is it's 'zeiss quality' good it might be a good chance to own a quality glass.
Haha I havent tried it, but that sounds like a great deal if it is in good condition. I will buy it from your friend if you dont want it! Lol.
Hahaha yeah I think I might go for it. Thank you!
HI This lens is in my Sony A6000 90% of time For the price is the best lens for Street Photography Sharp, fast lenses and focus good including in low ligth I recomend to buy if your budget is short jajaj
did you get focus hunting or inaccuracy with it ?
hi what is the sharpest f stop?
Do you think the 1.4 Version is worth the price?
Absolutely.
It's a high end, fast aperture, ASP-C lens for $400. If Canon or Nikon made something like this it would be somewhere around $1000.
pls help me? My camera is the a6300, which should I pick for the portrait lens, cheap aps-c lens like sony 50mm 1.8 ? Or FE lens like Zeiss 55mm 1.8?
I need the best quality, what happen if FE lens put into aps-c camera? Is it still good?
Yes it's still good, and the 50 f/1.8 for APS-C sensors isn't very good. That being said, you still don't need to spend $1000 on the 55 f/1.8 from zeiss to get great IQ. There's loads of options out there
Can you mention it for me?
Why do you need "the best quality" and what does that mean to you?
I mean a lens whic produce the best pic quality
How do you define best picture quality? Bokeh? Sharpness? Lack of CA and optical aberrations like vignetting? Fast aperture?
Waiting for your comparison of this lens with Sigma f 1.4 , 30 mm.... as i own that (based on your video ;)
Is sigma 30mm f2.8 good for portrait shots?
*tits*
Is there any adaptor to use it on a canon 750d?
Hey dude love your videos! I just subscribed! I was wondering if you could clear something up for me though. I have an a6500 and am looking for a few good all round lenses. I am completely new to the camera scene - however am confused with lense size. My question is; Do I need to multiply all lenses sizes for my sony a6500 by x1.5 for the true focal length for my camera? (even though they say it is an APSC lense) or is this already taken into consideration? Thanks! Ps (sorry if this seems like a stupid question!)
Ben Warner Yes you'll need to multiply all given focal lengths with 1.5 even though they say it's for APSC.
Legend thank you!
Ben Warner You're welcome :)
Keep in mind that some will me smartasses and correct in the way that the focal length does not change (uh duh?). It's just the field of view that changes :)
The focal length always uses full frame (35mm format) as reference, that is why you multiply thr crop factor even though it's an APSC lense.
And while we're at it: Since you're using a 6500, I'd recommend you take a look at the Sigma 30 1.4 :D

Please, compare this lens and sel 35f1.8
hi! does this lens suffer from the wobbling or shaking effect which the 19mm 2.8 exhibits?
Yes, but not nearly as bad.
bonjour quelqu’un pourrait-il me dire si elle est compatible sony 5100?
a great lens
You have video review lens 30mm 1.4 sigma?
+1 That would be awesome.
he has an overview and a comparison with the Sony 35 1.8
I do
hey man i want to ask you, i have a6300 and sigma 19mm lens, if i take video on s-log 2 or s-log3 there a much noise, why is that?
Have you checked your ISO settings? Shutter speed? Are you filming in poor lighting? All of those could be factors.
TechnologyMafia i take a lowest ISO on the setting, even i shoot on the bright sun there's still have much noise but if shoot with my 50mm sony f1.8 lens also have noise but not much like the sigma.
That's because you have to color grade that footage in order for it to be useable. It's not noisy, it just looks to the untrained eye like it's noisy. Look up tutorials, I've got one as well, on how to grade S-Log footage
Joshua Koerner which video man? You've got a lot of video
Spend the extra $100 on the 30mm 1.4, the low lights are so much better, the bokeh is so much nicer.
That's my early impression, but the comparison will be interesting.
TechnologyMafia I'm sure it's very similar in many ways, but the 2.8 and 1.4 is 2 stops in light. When shooting indoors, it's really a must. For an extra $100 investment, it's well worth it. Not going to break the bank and less then dinner for 3 these days. My perception is if you have the 1.4, you also have the 2.8, but not the other way around. I can't tell you how Manu times that extra 2 stops of lights save my images from camera shake. It's only slightly bigger and as you know, the 1.4 lens was voted lens of the year by so may photographers and reviewers. In a long run, it save people the money from needing to upgrade
100% Agree. I've shot all my TH-cam videos on that lens since I got it in Feb or something of this year... It's superb for an APS-C lens
does DN mean ART lens?
Hey, does eye auto focus works with this lens?
No, it doesnt.
TechnologyMafia so eye auto focus doesn't work on all sigma 19mm, 30mm, 60mm?
i cant change continious focus area.it looks minimal area :(
Would you recommethis for 2020?
Not really, I would recommend the 30mm F1.4
Does this lens have software
I prefer old 30mm 2.8 over new. I have both. New version lost philosofy of a6XXX models. This is not about compact camera anymore. its perfect to use this old lence with 18-135 or 16-50. I i love 11-20 2.8 tokina too. All this lences with compact pholosophy of a6XXX models. In other way if you using only one lence, and all you photos is prortraits i probably chose new sigma 30mm f1.4 over but its not mathc better for normal photographers. Old model realy rocks an its so smaller and lighter.
Does this fit for Sony a7ii
Nice Alfa Romeo! ❤️
I bought these lense for my a6000 some month ago. I like it a lot
i love your videos. very helpful!!!
agree... he is my reference for sony apsc
For someone only interested in photography ( nature landscape ) what lens would you recommned for the a6000
Thanks.
Probably a wide angle. The Rokinon 12mm F2 is a great lens.
Yay 4k finally!
Vs Sony 35mm 1.8 please
How can I zoom using these lens...just hoow. Please help my poor dumb soul 😔
Autofocus works with this one?
Yes, it does.
Is this APS-c or FE?
APSC
Will you also be comparing it with sigma f1.4, 30 mm (c)
The f/1.4 DC DN can resolve 155% more pixels-9MP for the f/2.8 version, while the Sony 35mm f/1.8 OSS can resolve 11 MP, and Sigma's 30mm f/1.4 DC DN can resolve 16
Anyone else read the description and think when he said newer version here he meant neewer? No just me. Okay.
People say that 013 is the year when it's made.
between this and sony 35mm f1.88 OSS which one do you recommend ? I am concerned about AF accuracy / focus hunting
The sony lens is going to be MUCH more accurate, quieter, and wont hunt.
Alfa Giulia
i love sigma is so sharp
What lanyard is that?
I dont know - it is a lanyard I had from a cheap flashlight I purchased on alibaba I think.
Just noticed TH-cam dropped me as a subscriber. Remind your viewers to check. Thanks for the video.
Really? That is strange. Welcome back!
I guess the only reason anybody would consider this over the 1.4 is the price
TechDevoted The size for me as well
Size, price, and maybe the color fringing on the 1.4 are factors.
yeah, price. I live in Japan and Amazon Japan sells F2.8 at 120USD while the F1.4 price is around 300USD. As a poor guy, I chose F2.8.
Budget matters for me... So the 2.8
