Sigma is the savior of Sony APS-C cameras. I wouldn't have pulled the trigger on a Sony a6500 if it wasn't for the presence of fast, sharp, well-built and affordable Sigma lenses. I ordered it alongside a Sigma 16mm f1.4 just yesterday and can't wait to get it! I mainly shoot landscape and architecture while traveling, but if I need a portrait lens later I'll definitely get this one.

Steve Deluxe do you know if one has better bokeh than the other or if one is sharper or overall takes more professional looking portraits. I’ve seen charts on how the higher the MM of the lens the more flattering it makes your subjects look.
@stevedeluxe 5 жыл бұрын
@@maninironmask7925 I can not say which lens is sharper if you shoot wide open, but yeah you'll get more professional looking portraits with a longer focal lenght. That's why I bought the 85mm. Just my 2 cents

Anyway, I just ordered the Sony a6400 body to replace my tired a6000, and this will be my next portrait lens. I also own the the Sigma 30mm f1.4 and the Sony 50mm f1.8 and love them both. I think this lens will complete my collection. Thanks again for the quality videos man.

Don't get me wrong, I'm in love with my A7III and I travel with the Batis 18, 25 and 85 which is a amazing combo for me. However as my A6300 sits, I miss using my Sigma 30mm f1.4 as it was such a rewarding lens to shoot with and the size combination much better than my A7III + Batis lens. Seeing this awesome lens makes me even more jealous. Almost want to move back just because of it. Thank you for the great review!

Your reviews are excellent and informative, I just got this lens and was awaiting your review. Did you use ND filters when shooting in daylight? My footage was washed out even with the lens hood. Also I assume you used gimbal on the walking shots? Thanks for the reviews, they help more than you know.
