The minimum focus distance of the Sigma 18-50mm is insane 😍😍😍. I use this lens for extreme close up unboxing and review footage on my KZfaq channel.

Amen! This lens is incredible for the price. I love it on my a6700!

Broooo thinking really hard abt this one! I love my 16-50 kitlens, but the sigma looks like a worthy upgrade! And one of the biggest reasons im looking at it is like you said. SIZE! i love how small and compact the kitlens is, and everything else is just too big!!! Awesome vid mark!

Thank you, bro! I think so too! I can't believe this weighs so little for a zoom lens with an f2.8 aperture! I'm thinking to get the 10-18mm variant as well!

Great comparison! Having a similar situation here.

Right?? It's so hard to get myself to bring out my A7IV with a heavy 24-70 lens when I know I can just bring out my A6700 with the Sigma 18-50 2.8! Things have changed technology wise, I can't believe this kind of lens exists now!

With the modern line up of fast lenses, it's virtually impossible to differentiate between crop and full frame for most use cases of photos online these days anyway. Who could be bothered carrying around full frame?

@markfriday Ай бұрын

Hey there thanks for dropping a comment! Appreciate it! Full frame still holds the ability to shoot better in low light and shallower depth of field. Of course if those don't matter to you so much, then APSC is the way to go. I never bring my full frames out anymore unless it's a paid client shoot, but for everyday use, my A6700 fits the bill and it sometimes I want to strip things down a bit more, I bring out my Canon G7X III which is a 1-inch sensor point and shoot style camera which weighs nothing which is why I bring it out a lot!

Hi Mark! I am looking for this lens for a while and I would be very pleased if you can tell me about any problems with Sony's ai technology?

@markfriday Ай бұрын

Hi, there! By AI technology You mean this lens' compatibility with the A6700? So far I've had no problems. Actually brought this lens with my a6700 for professional shoot the other day as a B camera to my a74. It was just an amazing feeling to not have to lug around my Sigma 24-70 on my a74!

@dimisgramm Ай бұрын

Hello and thanks for your reply. I would like to be more specific. How does the camera correct Focus Breathing through its menu and the ai technology it has on this sigma lens? Did you saw a weakness or is this better done on sony lenses? Always be well!

There is no best lens, there is only a best lens for the job and your expectations on the result. The Sigma 18-50 is the best compact zoom. If you don't mind the size, the Tamron 17-70 f2.8 is the better lens.

@markfriday 4 ай бұрын

Totally agree with you, man! That's why I made sure to mention the Tamron 17-70 f2.8! That was my option #2! Just wanted something a lot ligjter and smaller than my already heavy A7IV + Sigma 24-70! Thanks for your input!

@maggnet4829 4 ай бұрын

@markfriday Mission accomplished, I'd say. You can now add the Sigma 10-18 f2.8 and soon will leave your A7IV at home because you'll wonder why you still need it. 😄

@artbynaition1278 3 ай бұрын

Semi decent quality??? The image that comes out of that little camera can literally rival that a74, and yea the background is just a little more blurry the the crop which with a zoom lens you can easily adjust your position video is great and colour as well, whaaaaaaaat. The only problem most ppl be having is overheating and I bearly get any a that, great review tho bro

I want a camera for cinematography. I am confused between A7IV and a6700, you have both cameras

@markfriday 4 ай бұрын

Hey, Kushal! For cinematography both are very powerful and very similar cameras. Both can shoot 10 bit. I would say that the a6700 has a slight edge because it does not have an additional crop in 4K60. But of course a74 has the advantage due to its full frame image sensor which may result to better low low performance. It's also worth mentioning that the a6700 is like a hybrid version of the Sony FX30. So solely depends on your budget and which direction you want to take, APSC or full frame

@@markfriday Ok thanks and If I buy a6700, could my video quality decrease as compared to full frame camera
