REVIEW of the SIGMA 16mm f/1.4 EF-M on the CANON M50 / Worth buying?
Рет қаралды 201,151
4 жыл бұрынThere's a new wide-angle lens in town for EF-M mount cameras - the Sigma 16mm F/1.4 DC DN. This lens is also available for Sony E-Mount and Micro 4/3 cameras, but I'll be reviewing the lens with the APS-C Canon M50. I'll also compare and contrast the Sigma against the lens I've been using on my M50 - Canon's 11-22 f/4-5.6. The Canon lens can also shoot at 16mm, so is there any point in owning the Sigma? Does it improve video quality on the M50? Check out my review to find out.

Thanks for this review. I couldnt decide whether to get the 11-22 but you convinced me to skip that one in favor of the Sigma 16. Have you tried the other Sigma lenses vs their Canon equivalent?

hi Dr. I hope you wanna help me with this situation. I own a M50 mark II too and really want to buy the sigma 16mm but in the section of questions and answers the seller said that is not compatible with the mark II so i wanna know if you already have some problema with the lens? thanks a lot for your time.

Finally someone did an ACTUAL REVIEW of this awesome lens! i've been thinking of getting this someday when it was announced. That 1.4 is so crisp! i was gonna ask if the Tiffen 77mm ND filter will make a vignette, but saw that you had the same ND filter as i did. awesome! i'm gonna use that mainly for video someday with my M50 + Ronin SC! Can you make more videos using this lens outside 😁👍 like a real world test or maybe a cinematic video using it. I'm subscribed so i'll be able to watch you use this lens.
@dominey 4 жыл бұрын
Jasper Tordilla Vlogs Thanks! Glad you liked the review. I think the Sigma looks really crisp as well. I’ve used the 11-22mm w/ the M50 on a Ronin SC and it works beautifully. At only half a pound heavier, I would imagine the Ronin should perform just as well.

Great review. I'm hoping to move from APSC-DSLR to Mirrorless in the next years and lenses like these make the APSC mirrorles system more mature and interesting. And they also make the corporations to invest more in crop mirrorless bodies, so I hope that in the future, those of us, who dont want or can spend in FF, will have great options. Now you can upgrade to the m6 kii or wait to see if there will be a m5 mkii or an m60. Again, great work. I wish the best for your channel.

I *love* my Sigma 16mm f1.4! -Color, contrast, & crisp detail make stills that just *pop*. I use it on my Canon M50 and I also have the Canon10-22mm & 17-55mm f2.8 (the later of which stays on the camera by default) so those two other lenses overlap (more or less) with the focal range of the Sigma but, the Sigma blows the other two away for beautiful images! It’s the only prime lens I own so far and it’s the kind of lens that you want to go out and shoot with for hours. Sooo happy with it! Thank you for the great review!

Seriously that was probably one of the best lens reviews I have seen in a long time. Thank you very much you made me buy the sigma 16mm for my Canon M5 I was actually going to sell it because I own two Sony A7R3s which I love but my wife and I went camping and she used my little cannon and the pictures came out really nice I was surprised so I now own the sigma 16mm as of today I haven't had a chance to take it out but after watching your review I'm going to get to it. Thank you again

I just ordered this lens to help with noise in my limited lighting setup, as I don’t have the space to add more lights. I’m insanely impressed it was able to drop all the way to 200 ISO. I was expecting maybe 2000. The lens arrives in two days, so I’m even more excited now! And I’m not sure if maybe the Canon lens was a bit out of focus in that test, or if it’s just because the Sigma lens is that good, but the Sigma clips were a lot clearer, too. Your hair, facial hair, and different areas of your shirt were basically like going from 1080p to 4k in that comparison. Edit: The lens is a RIDICULOUS improvement in my somewhat low-light setup. I use a Canon M200 and I was able to go from f/4.5 1/60 6400 ISO with the kit lens to f/1.4 1/125 800 ISO with the Sigma. The highlights are much more balanced on my skin, the noise was greatly reduced from the drastic reduction in ISO, and the overall clarity difference is like going from a C to an A. INSANE value for $400.

I am solo travel vlogger with a Canon M50 that I love dearly. This was a brilliant review, I have been thinking of upgrading to Canon EF-M 11-22mm however, it doesn't offer that blurry background which means spending more money and adding focal lens Canon EF-M 22mm and that means three total lenses (kit lens, 11-22mm, 22mm). Your review helped me decide to save up for the Sigma 16mm and thanks ever so much. I have just subbed and thanks once again
