Sigma 18-50mm 2.8 vs The Sigma Primes (16, 30 & 56mm 1.4)
Get my Presets & Luts here: stuartrodwell.co.uk/presets/
In this video I compare the Sigma 18-50mm 2.8 zoom lens with the Sigma Prime Trio (16, 30 & 56mm 1.4).
The most fundamental difference between these lenses is the 1.4 vs 2.8 aperture, which is exactly what I put to the test in this video.
I realise that at each end of the lens range there are differences i.e 16mm vs 18mm & 50mm vs 56mm - but regardless, I still think this is a valuable comparison for anyone that has entered the APSC eco system and is trying to decide between prime lenses or a zoom lens.
Hopefully it comes in useful and please like and subscribe for plenty more future videos with this lens including photo walks and street photography POV videos.

If you are in for cinematography: films (where this word comes from) are 90% of the time shot in more than f4. There is more than a blurry background to create background separation and not a real need for f1.4 ;)

The great fun factor in the zoom is that you can walk around, taking photo after photo, wide to mid to tele without having to change lenses. The convenience factor more that makes up for any shortcomings, and really, having to change lenses and possibly dropping one, is a real pain in the ass. I have always loved zooms for the versatility it offers. Primes are great for the time you have to set up shots and are not in a rush. So don't diss the lens until you use it. You may find you actually like it.

@WEHAVETHISDREAM 2 жыл бұрын

Don't get fooled by aperture. I shot some great portraits on the oldies but goldies Sony 18-105mm f.4 and on the longer end it blew my mind with the bokeh and everything. And on the topic "sharpness": I would suggest all of you to let it go. I mean, what use is to have super sharpness, then stay and unsharpen the hell out of your photos / videos, in post? I realized that myself. I have the Sigma trios, but what use can I get, except some better low-light, but then waste valuable time on smoothing out the skin out of the people in my photos, cause with the lens you can see their pores and wrinkles are so exaggerated and real :)) I mean, photography / videography is art and you don't have to always be "real" and "raw" (unedited). Back in the days, when I purchased my first DSLR, the Canon 600d, maaaaaan, those photos needed no post-smoothing or anything, just printed all my family photos directly out of the camera. Greets, L.

@WEHAVETHISDREAM 2 жыл бұрын

@@bondgabebond4907 Exactly! I love the primes, especially from Sigma, but... even when shooting portraits, you lose a lot of cool moments. I mean, when the person in front of you eventually starts feeling comfortable and poses, dances or gives you all kind of beautiful looks, you miss out on so much moments, when you tell her/him: "Aaaah, wait the framing is to narrow, let me put the 16mm on..." or viceversa. I finally realized after all these years, why pro and extraordinary photographers carry a superb but heavy ass zoom lens with them, instead of a bag full of primes. Yeah...

Thanks for the lens review! This would be perfect for travel. It's small and lightweight and pairs nicely with a crop sensor camera. The f/2.8 aperture also works well for travel by bringing attention to your subject but also maintaining enough detail in the background to provide context of where you are. If you do any extensive night/astro photography then the primes would also come in handy.

Zoom lenses are better for intricate composition. Primes are better for low light performance and subject isolation. Sure, you can fall into more creative opportunities with an individual prime lens, but if you really want to make sure you can specifically nail a composition down at a landscape or street photography shoot, zooms will have your back where you can’t always use your legs to “zoom” with primes. Even when you can “zoom with your legs”, it’ll change the compression and alignment of the things in your frame, where with a zoom you can change the parallax of the objects in your frame by using your legs, but also crop in an out of a frame without moving where you’re standing by zooming in or out to avoid shifting the parallax. This is why I prefer zooms over primes personally. If you need background blur and don’t compose very intricately, then the primes are for you.

@@juliusespanol6813 ha, well, when I wrote that I was really in love with the separation achieved by the primes in this video. So I thought I was going to buy the prime trio. I talked myself into a compromise, though. I got the 18-50 and the 16mm for video. I've paired them with an a6700 since December. I've found myself mostly shooting photos of friends and family in casual settings, often in low light. Those two extra stops and the ~85mm FF equivalent would really have served me better. So if I could do it again, I'd buy the prime set. The 18-50 is convenient though.

I feel like I'm still finding my way with the 16mm, but I've captured more 5-star pics with the 30mm than any other lens I've used. Knowing that there's a zoom that's at least in the ballpark quality-wise and spans the range of the "Sigma Prime" series is really interesting - might need to pick one up sooner or later!

Great video, very clear and to the point. Proves that despite the obvious convenience of a zoom, only primes can push the camera for that higher end look on apsc format. Even the 30mm had a huge difference in bokeh. However it is to be considered that shooting all the time at the widest aperture is an unrealistic scenario, and this new zoom is a real deal, especially with that size and at that price. Cheers

Ended up using the kit lens 80% of the time since the versatility is much more handy when taking both creative and touristy shots. Sure side by side bokeh is yummier with primes, but if you are on the go, its difficult to work with multiple primes. Unless you are doing events or professional work, zoom is very handy for multiple situations

I have the 18-50. It sits on my camera. I have other lens but I like the versatility of the zoom and it is such a good lens. I have had older Sigma lens that I didn’t care for but I like the ones that Sigma makes now. I will also get one of the Sigma primes. I just couldn’t decide on which one to get. Right now I am leaning towards the 23mm or the 30mm. I will do more testing to see which focal length suits me the best. Probably the 23mm.
