The focal length is my go to lens especially for run and gun! Currently using 16-55mm Sony it's definitely one of the best glass I've ever used but would definitely recommend the sigma with the huge price difference.
I mustache you a question. Im thinking the a7iv is better for me than fx30 because I’d love to take fast action photos sometimes and the a7iv video is equally as good. That said, could a good setup be the a7iv the 18-50 for crop mode and then grab a 35mm for full frame for run and gun ? Any downsides ?
Thanks for the informative and good quality videos man! , I just have a question about the low light performance of the fx30 , what’s your opinion on that ?
I love the Sigma 18-50mm lens on my FX30. The footage looks amazing, especially when I shoot in S-Log3, XAVC-S 4K. I only use XAVC-I 4K when I'm shooting something with a green screen behind it.
Great vid, awesome! I've used the Venice, FX9 and FX6 a lot when I work as a 1st AC and recently tried out the FX3 for a couple short films and was super impressed! When I heard about the FX30 I pulled the trigger on one and just bought this lens also, largely in part to your review! I'm really excited to try this thing out. I was wondering, I have a Tilta mini matte box (super light) and was wondering if you think this lens would be too weak to support it from the screw on clamp on ring. Is it really plastic-y, or is it a similar denseness to the Sigma 24-70 2.8 E mount FF lens? I've used that one a lot, it telescopes too, but it does a really good job of taking front weight. Anyways, thanks for a great FX30 vid! ---- PS - Rad stache
I may have asked before...I have the FX30...I have a Sony 18-105mmf4...will this Sigma f2.8 be A LOT REALLY A LOT better in low light (like a wedding reception-but I always bring LED lights) to justify buying it to replace the Sony f4? I have the sigma 16 and 30mm f1.4 and I use them for the prep sessions and details but I can't change lenses during the ceremony for example...just making sure this f2.8 will be a significant improvement in low light over my current f4...I sure like your video. Thanks
a tip in your video... leave the subtitles option enabled. I'm going to buy exactly this equipment, and I would like to know your opinion on this video, but there is no subtitle option for me to put in Portuguese...
Hello. Can't decide which lens to choose for shooting video on Sony fx30 sigma 18-50 or 28-70.? As I understand it, for the second one it will be necessary to buy another wide-angle lens, so that all the necessary distances would be hidden?
Hey ! I had a full frame , but upgrading to the fx30 for the video ! Is this a true 18-50 or do I have to times by 1.5? I know the full frame lenses you have to do that , but some lenses are confusing !
can anyone help me out? I have this lens and I use it with a 1/8 black pro mist. I would like to add a variable nd (probably going to buy the true colour nisi vnd) however I am not sure which size i should order? Does a 55mm filter fit on top of another 55mm filter? Highly appreciate any help! 😅
Smaller, lighter, sharper, half the price, and no weird tint. Those are the reasons why I think the Sigma is better, but there are some nice traits of the Tamron as well
No, the Sony E 18-105 f4 pz zoom is better, for video, and the fx30 is for video. Power zoom works well with the fx30 rocker and at 105mm at f4, plenty of good bokeh. The zoom does not extend the lens, so can be easily used on a gimbal without rebalancing at different focal lengths and permits zooming while on the gimbal. And, with the high dual ISO, f4 is good in low light. This is a lens made for video, the Sigma is not for all the above reasons.
@@TheAugusts Another quick question - In your opinion how effective / important is the in lens image stabilization if you also have in camera stabilization for video? Does the in lens stabilization have a 'worth while' effect or if you have active in camera stabilization this is not as important or even redundant. I am trying to decide between Tamron 17-70 and this sigma.

Got this for my FX30 and I have no regrets.
Nice! I agree, no regrets on this one

No doubt! It's such a great lens
Thank you so much !!
No problem!

Nice haha, that'd be a pretty great kit!
I have the 28-70 sigma...just a full frame version. love the lens.
That’s a great lens! 👌
Thanks for the informative and good quality videos man! , I just have a question about the low light performance of the fx30 , what’s your opinion on that ?
Is the lens actually parfocal?
brother- that's awesome content, 😊
Thank you!
I keep telling myself I’m not going to invest in Aps-c glass. But this is interesting 🤔. May have to test this one out
Yeah, this one is great!
i´m planning to buy a FX30, for cenematic, gym and travel vids. but i have a hard time finding a lens. but i think this one will do good?
Great video.. which nd filter use for this 55mm?
Thanks! Link in description!
It was great !
I have this lens and fx30
I wanted to know this lens gives the exact 18mm focal or have 1.5x crop factor?
It has the crop factor
hey dude! can you do a tut on how to use the phantom luts on a wedding with your sony?
Hey! I’ll try to put that out in the near future!

Yeah, it's such a great lens!
What about auto focus, is it any good with fx30.
Such a good pair!👌
The best 👊
This is the lens I really want next for my FX30. It's perfect for an Super 35/APS-C sensor.
It's my fav!

Thanks so much for watching! I'd say it's to weak to screw right on, but it'll work well if you use rod support :)
I’m thinking of grabbing the fx30 as my main video camera. I want to get into wedding cinematography. Have you use this set up for any weddings?
Nice! Yes I have, and it's great!
@@TheAugusts awesome! I bought it Sunday and it arrives tomorrow I can’t wait!
@@jp_los exciting! You’ll love it
Make a video on fx 30 apse lens for filmmaking.
👌

As you I would buy the 35-150 F2-2,8 but its very heavy.
Hey man! I'm having a hard time trying to find a ND filter that works fine with that lens. Do you have a recommendation ?
I use these and they come in many different sizes: amzn.to/3kRW5bP you'll have to use step up rings: amzn.to/3jOqrf5
Hi there! I want to buy tiffen pro mist for the exact setup:)
Could u please help me to understand which size should I choose?
a tip in your video... leave the subtitles option enabled.

Awesome cam the fx30 👍🏻I think the fx30 would be a great b-cam for my Fx6
It really is!

18-50 is a better choice imo
Hey ! I had a full frame , but upgrading to the fx30 for the video ! Is this a true 18-50 or do I have to times by 1.5? I know the full frame lenses you have to do that , but some lenses are confusing !
You’ll have to do the math on each lens to get an accurate focal length
Doesn't the 2.8 equate to 4.2 on a crop sensor
I believe the full frame equivalent is f/4 yes
Isnt this lens a big red flag for gimbal work? Because it does extend when you zoom in?
It wouldn't be that much. It's super light and most gimbals wouldn't have to be rebalanced after zooming in
can anyone help me out? I have this lens and I use it with a 1/8 black pro mist. I would like to add a variable nd (probably going to buy the true colour nisi vnd) however I am not sure which size i should order? Does a 55mm filter fit on top of another 55mm filter? Highly appreciate any help! 😅
Hello, yes you can screw your VND onto your mist filter!
@@TheAugusts does it need to have the same mm? oh that's so good to know!! thank you!! any recommendations maybe? love your channel and advice!

You didn't show zoom action.
🥰
🤍
You can only say "best zoom lens" if you try and test every other zoom lens and you didnt!
Have u used the Sony 16-55 f2.8 with your FX30? If so, how did it compare?😎😎
I haven't tried that one out yet!
