I have the 56mm and i dont regret it! Only negative is you have to stand pretty far away from your subject. Aside of that, it just does amazing! Stills and Video
The SIGMA 56 1.4 is my go to for both inside and outside portraits. I also like the Sony 85 as well. You are right when you say it's about preference. I also have the TAMRON 17 -70mm F/2.8 Di III-A to cover all focal points.
Hey I am in a similar situation like you. I own the Tamron 17-70 F2.8 and the sony F1.8 35mm Do you feel like getting the 56mm f1.4 would be a waste or a nice addition to my kit?
Bro, could you advise? I like shooting full body video (of myself jump roping), and want a good bokeh, but I'm afraid the 30mm, even at 1.4 will probably give close to no-bokeh, if I require the full body shot. In that case, is the 56mm the choice to go for?
Depends on where you plan to shoot your videos. If your background is far away, even the 30mm will produce background blur. The 56mm will get you shallower DOF for sure, but If you shoot in tighter spaces, the 56mm might not get you full body shots (you need a lot of working distance with the 56)
Hi Olver! Thank you for interesting videos. Which lenses would you prefer Sigma 56mm F/1.4 or Sony E 50mm f/1.8 OSS ? Both lenses have a same price but Sony 50mm have optical steady shot system.
Oliver Hello, I found myself just smiling throughout your whole video. Man you have a real camera presents! You could do TV or movies with some acting lessons I am sure! I liked the video too, thanks for the information. I just ordered the A1 to go with my A7C. You making videos, good luck and cheers.
I went with the Samyang/Rokinon 85mm f1.4 for the awesome bokeh on portraits. I’m picking up a 30mm f1.4 for my A6400 because it’s basically a nifty 50 with it’s cropped sensor.
Great video! I have the 56mm and I love it. But I want a little wider lens and I'm considering the 30mm. How sharp is the 30mm compared to the 56mm? I couldn't tell sharpness difference from your video.
Waw! What's the best Gimbal and Lens interested in stabilization for a6000? For Lens, I need it for using most of goals such as Portrait, Ads, Street Life.
30mm F1.4 vs 56mm F1.4 for newborn baby photos? I already have the Sigma 18-50 which has me using it all the time. I already have the 30mm prime but haven't used it since getting the sigma zoom.
Which lens is better for low light for my zve10 Sigma 56mm f1.4 APSC Or Sony 50mm f1.8 Full Frame Even Sigma f1.4 but Sony f1.8 is Full Frame And full frame is better for low light Yes zve10 is apsc but I'm still a little confused if a full frame lens is going to be better in low light Because sigma's f1.4 full frame equivalent is f2.8 or something But Sony 50mm is designed for full frame So I think it's maybe better in low light even on a apsc camera ?
I have sony A6500 and sigma 16 mm f1.4 ...i do mostly landscape photography..can i do portrait photography using clear image zoom to get focal length of 32 mm on 16 mm f1.4 lens ..or should i buy 30 mm /56 mm
The iris opening (which is related to DOF) on the Sigma 56mm at f1.4 is 40mm, while on the Sony at 55mm f2.8 is 19.6mm. So quite a bit of difference in terms of background blur. In terms of sharpness, they’re similar. The question is: do you primarily shoot portraits? If yes, then the Sigma is a good addition. If you only shoot portraits once in a while, and would rather spend time finding a nicer background than spend money on another lens, then the zoom lens is enough. If money is not an issue, get the Sigma. It’s a good lens.. very good.
We are looking to get a new lens for our Sony a6400. We use it for filming snowmobile videos etc and we’re torn on getting a 30mm or 56mm. It will be used with a Dji rsc2 pro gimbal. Anyone have any recommendations?
Hey Oliver! That was a really interesting comparison! Can you make us another comparison video? I think the Sigma 30mm F/1.4 vs Sony FE 35 F/1.8 battle would be a great content because the FE 35 is closer the nifty fifty's on FF than the Sigma 30mm. Maybe the beloved Sony FE 35 F/1.8 is better choise than the sigma because it has a DMR (dust and moisture-resistant), af/mf sw and a one programable button. What do you think? Keep up the good work!!!
Hello friend 🤚🏼 i bought a6000 and sigma 30mm 1.4 after your videos..i take photos but they're not good like your photos 😟 i want to know at 1.45-1.47 photos jpeg or raw?and i have no computer can i edit photos on phone but good quality like your photos?or i must have a computer?
Hey Coskun :) all photos in this photoshoot are straight out of the camera with minor edits such as a bit of brightness. other than that all are raw files edited into jpeg :)
I’m a beginner photographer and I’ll be shooting a Christmas event outdoors for free at a block party (Santa pics with the family)… I only have a Sigma 16mm and a Tamron 70-180 so I’m looking to purchase a more ideal focal length lens for portraits. Do you think the 30mm would be best for this scenario? Im nervous how far back I’d have to stand with the 56mm to get everything in frame…any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!
Are you using Sony 55-210mm? If you are, you need to make sure you’re shooting with plenty of light to get the ISO lower. That lens only opens up to f6.3 on the long end, so it’s quite a challenge to keep the ISO low while still maintaining a reasonable shutter speed. Also, make sure you choose the highest setting for image quality, and set the high ISO noise reduction if you’re shooting jpegs.
I'm getting both lol! I already have the sigma 16mm. 1.4 for my Olympus camera but I have the 56mm Sigma for my Sony A6000. Just missing the 30mm and I'll be good.
Same here! I got the 16mm and 56mm sigma, amazing lenses but I'm missing the spectrum between so I just ordered my 30mm. 16mm is to wide and awkward to take portraits indoor and 56cm is too narrow. 30mm will be amazing.
I have two Viltrox lenses, but one stopped working after only 7 weeks and the company does not want to honor their warranty. Stay away from this company.
@@olivershutterspeed just discovered your channel. I have the a6000 with the kit lens 16-50 mm, but lost a little bit the motivation since the photos were not very sharp.
Thanks to all the models! Here you can find the BATTLE of the Sigma 56mm vs Sony 85mm! -> th-cam.com/video/xjAjgrwXHsw/w-d-xo.html
What lens do you recommend for video, preferably fitness videos?
I have the 56mm and i dont regret it! Only negative is you have to stand pretty far away from your subject. Aside of that, it just does amazing! Stills and Video
56mm for model photo only. 30mm is an all rounder and can use for travel photo
I've a question
How much girlfriends do you have?

As much as possible

Perfect video, I just got the 30mm and enjoyed working with it for video and photos.
Thanks my friend! the sigma 30mm is amazing!
Great job.
Thanks.
I will be adding the 56 1.4 to my 30 1.4
Both are great for me in that focal length in apsc. I often take potrait indoor event
Beautiful review with beautiful information 😍 i will choice sigma 56 1.4😅 so sharp and blurry 🙃 i love bokeh ❤️
Thanks Murat my good friend :) yes the sigma 56mm always kills it :D
Very detailed comparison, you even talked about weight which I care about a lot. Thanks man.
Thanks soo much Hugo! :D
this video was absolutly incredible !
Such a high quality :0
Thanks Paul big thank you! :D
Hi how about sigma 35 mm lens? Do you think it's all rounder for both fashion and makeup? Need your opinion thanks in advance 😊
Fabulous Video, Oliver, you have a great channel, fantastic model and location, thanks for sharing
A pleasure to watch with a ton of high quality info. Great work here.
Thanks soo much!!!!! :D
love the video got both after this thanks big dawg

Thanks soo much Chronic Pain! i would go then for the 30mm i promise you its the best allrounder :D
whats better for car videos? 30mm or 56
Excellent video!!! The Sigma 30mm f1.4 is my one n only
Yes it was my first prime lens and i love it :D
Sony 35mm 1.8 OSS is my fav lens for APSC on my a6300 because of the image stabilization :)
That's a cool lens. I might probably buy it in the future, I also like the 50mm 1.8 oss and it's great for portraits
For musical videos which is the best? Thanks in advance !
One point oooaaah
Waw!
What's the best Gimbal and Lens interested in stabilization for a6000?
For Lens, I need it for using most of goals such as Portrait, Ads, Street Life.
i recommend the gimbals from feiyutech :)
would yall think both of these lenses paired with the a6000 would be good for car photgraphy as in still in specific?
30mm F1.4 vs 56mm F1.4 for newborn baby photos? I already have the Sigma 18-50 which has me using it all the time. I already have the 30mm prime but haven't used it since getting the sigma zoom.
Thank you so much for your videos Oliver!
Your welcome!!! :D
Which lens is better for low light for my zve10
Sigma 56mm f1.4 APSC
Or
Sony 50mm f1.8 Full Frame
Even Sigma f1.4 but Sony f1.8 is Full Frame
And full frame is better for low light
Yes zve10 is apsc but I'm still a little confused if a full frame lens is going to be better in low light
Because sigma's f1.4 full frame equivalent is f2.8 or something
But Sony 50mm is designed for full frame
So I think it's maybe better in low light even on a apsc camera ?
Great video. Thank you. Subscribed
Thanks soo much Jim my new friend! :D

This question hindered me and you posted at the right time. Did sigma fix the autofocus on latest version
Good question i think there is a new update with the lenses:) but not 100% sure
Hello.. I have the sony 16-55, you recommend the sigma 56mm to take portrait photos or there is no difference
La diferencia es increíble, si te lo recomendaría al 100% 👌
The iris opening (which is related to DOF) on the Sigma 56mm at f1.4 is 40mm, while on the Sony at 55mm f2.8 is 19.6mm. So quite a bit of difference in terms of background blur. In terms of sharpness, they’re similar.

If you only shoot portraits once in a while, and would rather spend time finding a nicer background than spend money on another lens, then the zoom lens is enough.
If money is not an issue, get the Sigma. It’s a good lens.. very good.
for video, i’ll choose 30mm instead of 56mm because 56mm a bit tight for travel videos and photos
Yess i totally agree with you!
I always enjoy your videos and I especially liked this one. Keep up the good work Oliver.
Thanks soo much Rob soo happy! you made my day
Thanks I got my answer 😁😁😁

Hi friend, what do you think about the new tamron 28-70 2.8???
Heyy :) i dont own it but its very good from what i heard

Focal length does not change with crop. A 30mm on crop or ff is still a 30mm in both platforms no matter crop factor.
@@oguzbalci But aparture does
i already have the 30mm for my sony a6000, would you recommend me buying the 56mm one? It would be similar to a 85mm on full frame
I would honestly go for the sony 85mm then :D its then a totally different focal length
@@olivershutterspeed i have the 85mm one, but in apsc is like 127mm, its a lot of zoom for full body pics
Awesome review
Thanks my friend :)

Place make sony a6000 sigma 30mm f1.4 for video with best color profile setting, because this camera is not yet picture profile choice.

What did you get and how it was?
@@milosmarkovic8611 went with the Sigma 30mm 1.4 and it went great. Amazing lens and super affordable
Hello ....i get low quality images and grains on my photos by using sony a6000 .....210 mm lens .....all the settings are correct
Are you using Sony 55-210mm? If you are, you need to make sure you’re shooting with plenty of light to get the ISO lower.
