My 3 lenses for my a6400. Sony 16-50 OSS , Sigma 30mm 1.4, Sigma 56mm. Pretty much covers everything for me.

You’re videos are awesome! I was between the 56 and the 30. Now I see that the 30 is more versatile for my needs.

went and subbed coz i was torn between 16 and 30 your videos helped me a lot now i made up my mind

Thank you for making this video! been in dilemma, cheers!

Thank you for that review. As the owner of both the 30mm and the 16mm Sigma, I would have to agree with your comment about the 30mm providing the most realistic view. This is why I chose the 30mm 0ver the 16mm for my first apsc lens. I had initially chosen the 30mm over the 16mm for its field view and lifelike perspective. The ability to keep the subject and all lines as straight and correct as possible (at least in most instances) is very important to me and the 30mm was the best choice for that (in combination with my A6400). Nevertheless having watched all the videos I craved the 16mm 1.4 and ended up purchasing it approximately ten months after I purchased the 30mm. I do enjoy using my 16mm now, but what this purchase essentially did was to reinforce the notion that the 30mm is a must have lens, and the best lens choice where there is only one budget option. I have always thought how nice it would be to have the minimal distortion characteristic of the 30mm and the wider field of view of the 16mm. Well, there is and this is why I am now obsessed with anamorphic lenses. Unfortunately in my situation, there are no autofocus anamorphic lenses for my A6400 and no anamorphic lenses with that beautiful f1.4 nine blade aperture.

Nice vid Dan,Ive just got the 6400 upgraded from 6300 and got the 16mm,my next buy was going to be the 56mm,I never got where the 30mm came in to the grand scheme of things but I'm now getting it, (I Think), Tnx for sharing will defo watch more mate.

I have the 16mm and seriously thinking about grabbing this one. That price makes it super tempting. I think it'll give me that tighter shot I like for talking head segments.

Great video, definitely getting this lens!

Nice vid. helped me make my mind. Been using 16mm for everything, but missing that "natural" look for someshots. Appreciate Brolls for info affirmation. 🙏🏼💯

Great video, Dan! Nice versatile lens!

I spent quite a bit of time comparing the Sigma 30 1.4 with the Sony 35 1.8. In my own evaluation I found them to be equal in sharpness, but the Sony 35 has OSS which I found to be the differentiating factor. I got more well focused images with the 35 1.8 than the Sigma. The sony 35mm 1.8 is also quite a bit smaller and lighter than the Sigma 30mm 1.8. However the Sony lens is quite a bit more expensive. I have the Sigma trio and there is no question the 56mm 1.4 is one of the best lenses money can buy. The 16mm 1.4 is a great lens too. But the Sigma 30 was the least-best of the three. I finally sold the Sigma 30mm 1.4. Another factor is the Sigma 18-50 f2.8 can be used at 30mm and it matches the performance of the sigma 30mm prime quite well. So with multiple lenses that cover the 30mm range quite well I just had to sell the 30mm 1.4.

The 45mm Focal range is a really good universal range as well. Nice vid.

Good points. I'm getting this lens soon. Probably, the only con about it is the lack of weather sealing. But that's not the end of the world.

Awesome 😊👌🏼. Now i have my eyes fixed on the 30mm f1.4 from sigma. Great videos once again, cheers Dan👍🏻

That was a great review and videography. Try to cover portrait photography in your next vlog. :)

Thankyou...i was confused with 16 and 30...i will now go with 30mm

I totally agree with you with regards to the focal length. I also use the a6400, and the lens that stays on my camera most of the time is the Sony 35 mm F 1.8 OSS. Pretty close to what you're using. Especially for filmmaking, I could definitely live with this lens all the time. I also have the 16-50 kit lens if I really need the wide-angle, and I have the Sony 55 to 210 which I love, but 35mm (52 on my camera) is an awesome way to work. Especially since it works so well on my Crane M2. WinWin. Awesome video as always. Thanks for sharing.

awesome video mate, ive got the 56mm , looking to get the 30mm next.

Awesome review, I have the 30mm on my GH5 and so far, it is good also.

What would be the best ND filter on a sunny day for this lens?

Very helpful, thanks dude!

Hello, I'm loving your content! Been bing watching over here. 😅 However I'm struggling with lens. What lens should I get for my Sony a6400 for indoor portraits? If it has bokeh I'd be even more pleased. I currently have the Sony 85 mm.

Great videos! I really enjoy learning from you. Can you do another a6400 and Sigma 30mm Contemporary talking head video showing distances and details like you did int the a6400 and Sigma 56mm Contemporary talking head?

Great video man! QUICK QUESTION: what is the distance between you an the camara to get the talking head shot from this video? (I know you used a sony a6400) ... thanks in advance

I am using Canon M50, can I ask if the Sigma 30mm lens used on it is good? Thank you very much

I’m getting this with my 6400 in a few weeks! I’m excited

Great video brother!

Good video I have 2 of 3 lenses of Sigma 16-30mm. I purchased 30mm my first is my favorite lens and now I got 16mm is another one of my prefer lens too. I am planning to by 56mm but first I want to Sony 18-105mm for video too. Once again thank you for your video very interesting.

Great video. I will go ahead and get the Sigma 30mm....

This guy convinced me to pair this with my a6400, my first ever camera! $700 body only, with the 30mm for $300, good deal?

hi can you use this Sigma 30/1.4 to do SWEEP PANORAMA mode with a6400 ?

Same. I have A6400 paired with sigma 30mm f1.4 and sony 18mm-105mm ✨

Sony SEL50F18 APSC 50 mm f/1.8 Lens vs Sigma 30 mm f/1.4 Which one is better am so cofused.please help

Hi there! Can you recommend what ND filter is best for this lens? I just literally ordered it after watching your video. Appreciate your response!

Definitely purchasing this one pagkaupgrade ko from NEX 5n to an a6000. Convinced na convinced ako. hahaha

Super helpful. And good commercial!!

Great video. Do you think this is a good lens for shooting a podcast with two talking heads in the frame?

I was trying to pick between this and Sony 35mm OSS. Idally I want the 7artisans 35mm 0.95, but i dont have the most stable hands to focus that lens manually and my a6300 has enough rolling shutter problems on its own haha. But i never quite liked the soul-less footage from the OSS, so I think Sigma's AF can help me so I dont have to manual focus making it shaky. (I want to get good handheld shots, dont like gimbal haha)

thank you for sharing bro bro,

Hey, thanks for this! As I only do talking head videos and have a very short distance between myself and the wall in front of me (90 cm, 35 in), I would need to fit the camera + the lens, which depending on the sigma 16mm or 30mm would mean having to subtract the camera+lens lenghts, so let's say 65cm/26in. Do you think this lens would work? What's the distance this lens needs to be from myself in order fo me to be in frame and not occupy the entire screen? Although I prefer the qualities of this one, would I have to resort to the 16mm? Thanks!

You are adorable :') This was a big help. I'm gonna buy the Sigma 30mm F1.4 to pair with a Sony6400 :)

I have a a6400 with the 18-135mm, f3.5-5.6 kit lens and mostly do photography and not video. I want to buy a prime lens for the better sharpness and smaller f number (better bokeh and low light performance). The choice is between Sigma 30mm f1.4 and Sony 35mm f1.8, the price being basically the same. Where the first seems to be sharper and better in low light but the second one has OSS. So it basically boils down to the following question: If I were to buy the Sigma lens (so no stabilisation), could I still shoot handheld pictures relatively well, also at lower light (say 10/11pm in a city street). Or is it better to go for the safer option and grab the Sony lens with OSS? Thanks for the help.

If I can’t get the bd filter wouldn’t it help to just grind down iso to maybe 100

I am choosing between this (30mm f1.4)+16mm 1.4 and the Art lens Sigma 16-35mm f1.8... Do you have any suggestions?

Should I buy an extra sigma 30mm lens if I already have sigma 16mm lens or I should go with a gimbal like zhiyon webbil S at similar price point which I don't have ?

perfect video ! thx. subscribed + liked

good choice even better than 23mm, great vid

Love your videos! I just recently got the a6000 and Im struggling between the 30mm and 16mm. I mainly want to use my video to record gym videos. I don’t necessarily have to get full body shots but I also don’t want to have to back up too far. Any suggestions?

Hey, I just got myself the same lens, Sigma 30mm f1.4 for my zv-e10 but I noticed the autofocus is quite slow. I noticed you don't have this issue when focusing on your face then the box. It takes some time for mine to focus even with a well lit room. And the noise from the focusing is quite noticeable. Any ways to fix this?

Hi dan, what picture profile are you shooting at? Great video nonetheless!

Let’s be real this man the only guy besides Jared poplin and life through optics we trust on YT

Hi , would you think this lens would be good for using as a webcam on a live stream ? Or would Id be too much zoomed in ?

New subs here! Sa tingin mo bro kung pang.mukbang asmr contents. Mas okay ba tong 30mm sigma? Regaluhan ko sana si misis a6400. Body n lng sna bibilihin q tpos yang 30mm sana

💖

You know the lens is good when the only complaint is lack of stabilization

I think sigma should put 36mm instead of 30mm, because that way the sigma trio will be right with 16mm / 36mm / 56 mm , all ending up with 6mm and 20mm apart for each other

nice color sir , whats ur pic profile.. im just a beginner
