The Sigma 30 mm is a great lens however, as you mentioned it can be too tight to use indoors within a tiny space. The Sigma 16mm 1.4 will give you much more room to play around with! The great thing about this lens is how wide the aperture is (the ability to shoot in low light and get shallow depth of field or a blurry background.) The Kit lens is also a great lens as well. It's cheap but can zoom from 16-50mm. Although it would be as great in low light, it's still something that I think can be very useful! Check out my video on the kit lens!

@@PurposedLensPhotoMedia So I was using this lens on a project yesterday, and I'm wondering if I have a defective lens, or if the focus by wire just sucks for focus pulls, because it was totally inconsistent, especially when I was trying to pull slowly.

Glad I could help! 🙏🏽

I've saw a fellow in my city use it for pro videos with an ND filter during the day and he can stay at 1.4 all day long, he just uses Zebra lines to assist when things would be blown out way too much, makes enhancing/color correcting a breeze I guess.

The settings one uses all depend on what and how you are shooting. What will you mostly be shooting? Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!😀🙏🏾

That would be nice! I will have to see if I can get my hands on one! What type of content are you shooting? Thanks for taking the time to watch, comment and support the channel. 👍

@@PurposedLensPhotoMedia I'm your new subscriber 😊 and I'm still planning to get a camera and sigma lens. can't decide yet between those two so I'm grateful if you will have the comparison soon ❤ take care!

Generally I shoot with NO picture profiles. I sent my white balance and exposure accordingly. If I am shooting outside, I almost ALWAYS use an ND filter to control the look I am going for. I will then apply some post processing depending on the look I am going for. You can check out my latest video (linked below) for a part of my workflow with the Sony ZV-E10. I hope this helps!

I did not compare the Sony 16 to the Sigma. I don't own the Sony. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!

Lens ALL DAY! If you can only have one, a lens is going to be MUCH more versatile! This is because a lens can be used in MANY different settings where a gimbal may not always be needed. A perfect example is a talking head shot (a shot where you are sitting down 🪑 taking to the camera.) You can however, use a 16mm 1.4 lens for that though! I hope this makes sense. 😊 Thanks for taking the time to watch and support the channel! 🙏🏽 😊

@@PurposedLensPhotoMedia Thanks so much for replying, i appreciate your advice 🙏

Yes, would love to know

Thanks for the post feedback! 👍🏾 I typically don’t use any picture profiles. At the start of the video I give all my settings. 😊 I typically just start with a custom white balance using a grey card! I use grey card on the light that’s lighting my face. All of my lights have a CRI rating of at least 97cri. Doing this allows me to get more accurate colors without weird tints. Lastly, I make sure my monitor is calibrated correctly! Editing on an uncalibrated monitor will make it impossible to get accurate colors! I hope this helps! Thanks for watching,commenting and supporting the channel! 🙏🏽 😊

@@PurposedLensPhotoMedia thanks a lot, man! :) and wish you all the luck!

I will definitely consider it! 😃 Thanks for taking the time to watch, comment and support the channel! 🙏🏽 😊

The Sigma 16mm is designed for the Cannon EF-M (mirrorless) mount cameras. You would need an adapter to go from Mirrorless to Dslr. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.😀

The Sigma is a great lens and is very capable in many situations! I would recommend renting the lens first to make sure it’s the right focal length for you! This will ensure that you are buying what you need! I hope this helps! Thanks for supporting the channel! 🙏🏽 😊

@@PurposedLensPhotoMedia Cool, thanks for the feedback!

No, the gyro data is stored on the camera, you can use any lens and stabilize the footage

Your gonna love it! Be sure to share your shots and show what you create with it! Thanks for commenting and supporting the channel!

It’s definitely good enough to get some great photos. The key to this lens is using your aperture to create depth and mood in your photos! Mastering light is also something you want to look into as well! I hope this helps! 🙏🏽 😊 Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! 🙏🏽 😊

I would buy them according to what I’m shooting. 🤷🏽‍♂️ If I’m mostly shooting portraits/ headshots I’m going with the 56. If I am doing full body portraits or couples, the 30. If I’m doing b-roll or group photography the 16. All of the primes will give you MORE light and a different look because of the wider aperture! I hope this helps. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! 🙏🏽 😊

It's only a bad idea to buy this lens if you buy it and don't use it! Other than that, it's a great lens and you can't go WRONG with it.

At the start of the video I give you all my settings! 😊 I will consider doing on my color process! Thanks for taking time To watch, comment and support the channel! 🙏🏽 😊

Anything with a viewfinder is going to work better in most cases! The ZV E10 screen just isn’t able to perform well in direct sunlight! ☀️ I hope this helps! Thanks for supporting and supporting the channel! 🙏🏽 😊

Keep saving! You will make your goal! 👍🏾 I wish you the best! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! 🙏🏽

I would lean towards the SIgma 16mm 1.4 It's a GREAT lens and is VERY versatile even though it's a prime lens! I Hope this helps! Thanks for taking the time to watch and support the channel!👍🏾

Of course it is, thanks!

Yes you can! This is controlled by something in the lens called aperture blades. Just like your eyes have and iris that opens and closes, camera lenses have the same type mechanism. When the iris (aperture) of your eye opens up, it lets in more light. This also gives you the blurred out background. The distance of an object from your lens/eye will also cause this as well. Close one eye, and put your hand 🤚🏽 close to your eye and look at it. Notice that behind your hand is out of focus and your hand is in focus! When you move your hand away from your eye it becomes “in focus” with everything else. The camera lens works the same way. I hope this helps! I may do a video on aperture and some of the basics of lenses and photography! Thanks for watching, commenting and supporting the channel! 🙏🏽 😊

@@PurposedLensPhotoMedia very good explanation! Thanks

I’m glad it was helpful! Thanks for supporting the channel! 🙏🏽 😊

I will definitely consider it! 😃 Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! 🙏🏽 😊

This is true! Primes are generally used in photography and cinema lenses are geared for video. There aren't a lot of stabilized primes as they typically have a fast enough aperture which makes up for needing stabilization in photography. There are gimbals and software that can be used to help stabilize video footage. Great comment!👍 Thanks for taking the time to watch and support the channel. 😁

To be honest, it really doesn’t matter as much as we would think. Social media is mostly about getting the story across vs picture quality. With today’s cell phones, it’s going to be hard to tell the difference on TikTok of your lighting and editing is on point. I did a video on this. Check it out. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oaqPocSYptuUnYk.html Thanks for supporting the channel! 🙏🏽 😊

@@PurposedLensPhotoMedia nice tip! I would like to shoot the videos like yours with that background. So I was about to decide going to a Sony camera and sigma or a new phone like s21 ultra considering also the price ranges and versatility of both.

@@manueldeangelis161 If you are looking for a blurred out background then there are a few things to understand about how to achieve it. 1.) Lens choice. 2.) Camera Settings 3.) Proper Lighting I am not sure how familiar you are with cameras but if you are new. You may want to read up on Depth Of field, Aperture and basic lighting. If you want the look I have, it can be achieved with iPhone or Sony. The Sony will overall give you a cleaner image. But you must do the work to get it to look clean. It's not going to automatically be better just because it's a Sony. One must learn lighting and how to use the lens to get the best out of it. I hope this helps.

@@PurposedLensPhotoMedia Yeah I'm about to study how to reach a quality standard. But I can't test all the devices and lighting so I saw that many people advice Sony ZV-10 and sigma 16mm but I need something that is top quality and versatilty so I'm not sure if it's a good start with a compact camera like Sony or start with a top ultra Smartphone like S21 ULTRA. For the lens is better a smartphone like this one or a SIGMA 16mm ar close with the level and opacity effect in the background? I hope I explained myself right and thank you for your help.

You will probably need an EF-M to EF-S adapter. Try looking on Google and research exactly what adapter you need as I don’t shoot canon. 😊 I hope this helps! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! 🙏🏽 😊

It's really difficult to suggest a lens without knowing how you use it. The 11mm will give you a wider field of view. If that's what you are looking for, go with that. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!👍🏾

@@PurposedLensPhotoMedia roger capt🔥

I don't own that lens, however if I am able to get my hands on the lens, I will give my honest review! Thanks for the suggestion! Thanks for supporting and watching the channel as well! 👍

I just sold my Sigma 16 (which I used for three full years) and got the Tamron 11-20 instead. My primary reason changing is that I wanted an easier to handle, more flexible setup. Sharpness wise, they’re comparable. The Tamron is also a good performer throughout its focal range, except at 11mm where you need to close down the aperture to f5.6 to get sharp corners. The centre of the image is sharp wide open at any focal length. At 16mm f2.8, the Tamron is similar to the Sigma at f2.8: sharp corner to corner. The Sigma’s corners at f1.4 - f1.8 is a bit soft (not that you’d notice anyway in normal use) CA control is very good for both of these lenses. Distortions are well corrected for both (with lens profile). Both lenses has good flare resistance, and okay for astrophotography (the Tamron has better coma control) I haven’t tested the AF extensively on the Tamron yet, but so far the focusing was snappy in low light.. and no noise from the motor whatsoever. The Tamron is slightly lighter than the Sigma on paper, but because it’s weight is further back towards the camera body, it balances way better in the hand. There’s no comparison to what the f1.4 aperture on the Sigma can give you (that bit I do miss), but since I also got a new A6600 body, the IBIS allows me to go 2-3 stops slower and keep the ISO low. One thing that annoys me a bit with the Tamron is the size. Not of the lens itself, but rather the chunky front and rear caps (yes, I’m petty like that) In summary, the better lens for you depends on how (and what) you shoot. If you tend to plan ahead or shoot at a leisurely pace, or you normally do videos on a tripod, or often shoot photos handheld in low light, then the Sigma is the best choice. If you’re like me, who feels that 16mm is too wide for a walkaround lens and at times not wide enough for interiors and landscape shots, or willing to forego 2-stops of light and in return get 4 extra focal lengths, with some weight savings, albeit at almost twice the price, then get the Tamron.

Well it’s very difficult to NOT consider the focal length because the best focal length directly depends on what you are shooting. The Samyang /Rokinon is great work real estate 🏡 video/photography and vlogging! The Sigma 16mm is great for B-roll and group shots! Comparing the two picture quality wise… the Sigma is going to resolve better in low light due to its extra stop of light! Everything after that really is preference. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Determine WHAT you will be shooting and go from there! I hope this helps! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! 🙏🏽 😊

@@PurposedLensPhotoMedia I have 50mm f1.8 for portrait and street. But I also want to have wide angle lens for street, to capture the buildings. I saw on some reviews that samyang has very minimal barrel distortion, however it has bad chromatic aberration. While in the Sigma it's minimal and Sigma is very sharp from center to corner. I don't plan to shoot interiors, so for shooting landscape or street I can move to get my composition. Also the size and weight come into consideration.

Let’s I like the focal length of the sigma for vlogging and b-roll but they are both great lenses! 👍🏾 Thanks for watching, commenting and supporting the channel! 🙏🏽 😊

Which lens would that be? 🤔 Thanks for taking the time to watch, comment and support the channel! 🙏🏽 😊

Yes! You can use it for Real Estate. I would recommend using the Rokinon 12mm 2.0 or the Loawa 9mm 2.8 though. They are both great wide angle lenses. Thanks for taking the time to watch and support the channel!

The 16mm is going to be a more versatile lens just because it's wider. Wider lenses allow you room to crop in, use things like catalyst browse without it getting rid of a bunch of your picture. I hope this helps! Thanks for taking the time to watch and support the channel! 👍🏾
