Which lens did you prefer? Sigma 16mm or Sigma 30mm?

@SidneyDiongzon 6 жыл бұрын

I think prefer the Sigma 30 a little more...maybe for sentimental reasons, lol

@chrisbrockhurst 6 жыл бұрын

Definitely the 16mm.. love it. Just did a comparison between it and the rokinon 12mm on my channel. I honestly don't think there's another e mount lens currently out that it can be compared with

@SidneyDiongzon 6 жыл бұрын

Yep!

@kalpeshrawal5636 6 жыл бұрын

I loved 30mm until 16mm came out. Own both and as you stated, both have their places in videography. I find 16mm more convenient most of the time for it being a wide angle lens. Big thumps up to you for the apt videos you have been creating. There are times I think how about Sidney creates a video about this and there you create a video about it. Thank you.

@LisaMichele 6 жыл бұрын

After doing a lot of research, I chose the 30mm, but after being so used to the 16-50 kit lens on the a6300, I think I may dip back into my wallet and pick up the 16mm. I'm just so used to that wide shot! I think the 30mm will be nice for shooting interviews and things like that. Unfortunately with photography equipment, there's so much trial and error to finding what you like, and every trial costs $$$! Thanks for this video, great work here!

I really appreciate the multitude of side-by-side comparison shots. Lots of videos out there are lacking this basic aspect.

I've been researching indecisivly which of these to buy for weeks, and this video just answered every single one of my questions. And not only did it help me decide that the 30mm 1.4 is the right choice, it did it straight to the point, very informatively and with great style. Overall an awesome video!

Thanks for this! I am dead set on the 30mm now. I'll keep my kit lens for when I need a wider FOV but I much prefer the "normal" equivalence of about 45mm. Bee using a 50mm Canon FD and while I love it, it's too narrow on an APS-C and I sometimes miss AF.

Waiting for the rest of my rig to be delivered but really loving the a6500 content on KZfaq, that being said thank you for all of your uploads. Although I'm new to you're channel it's very clear you love your a6500's, so I decided to sub! Even though you got you're a7r iii beauty I hope you continue with both. Happy new year!

Hi Sidney - I'm new to your channel and I love your reviews and have subbed! I'm looking at these lenses for my Canon APS-C camera - and will probably use mostly for talking head (studio) footage, b-roll, and some interviews. I was set on the 30mm and then came across the 16mm so am now not sure! Any thoughts?

Love my A7ii and 28mm but video aspect isn’t strong. Dream kit would prob be a6500: 16mm 1.4 (though 24mm ff equivalent is still a bit tight for vlogs) the new 18-105 for family/travel, and the the 55 1.8. Idk aps c seems more optimal for my needs :/

@stefpix 6 жыл бұрын

I have both, i like both for different things. I carry 2 bodies, one with the 16mm and one with the 30mm. 16mm seems to have better AF, I tried continuous eye AF and the 30mm hunts, back and forth. 16mm seems less indecisive, but sometimes I get slightly missed focus ( AF )with the 16mm compared to the Sony lenses. But I take more than one shot.

@tadbubs 2 жыл бұрын

Sidney (not to be confused with the "Down Under" local...or are you there?) that was short, sweet, succinct, and super informative. Question: I just bought the 30mm. I was thinking I could use my newly purchased Sony ZV-E10 to make up for any differences between the two lenses, with the crop features. But, I'm shooting in two styles: (1) sofa for talking to the camera, up against a wall (about 1-meter away from the camera lens); and (2) full-body demonstration videos (3-meters away). Which lens will do me better?
