I'm jealous of how many lenses Sony cameras get. This gives some incredible shots. Great review

You've honestly become my go-to guy for camera videos! I'd been waiting for this lens since I started shooting APS-C, it felt like the missing piece in the Sigma trio APS-C lineup. Brilliant review, great to see it used in a studio setting and compared to your G Master lens!

Wow the FX30 is on another level. Such a cinematic picture. So much better than the new vlogging camera. Love Toronto as well. So many things to shoot. Great video.

Your channel has helped me upgrade my video! Im running a sigma 16mm 1.4 on my zve10. The quality is incredible! Thank you

watching this video gives me the happy vibe on why you should enjoy photography, im excited to give this lens a try soon.

Thank you for the honest review Mark! This is a fantastic lens. Pairs nicely with the a6700 for stills and video given the camera’s stabilization. The focal length is just what I was looking for and sold the Sigma 30mm. For walking around and taking pictures of the family this lens is the truth…!

Great job on the video Mark! Thanks for making it.

Thanks for the review. It will be the next Sigma to purchase for my ZV-E10!

youre becoming my favourite reviewwer. love the funny presention, but also get a lot from your examples. a lot of apsc coverage but reference to top of the line GM lenses to see if its any compromise. subbing :)

It always seemed strange that they had not made this lens before. Looks great.

Perfect review, thank you! Helped me decide. -- One thought came to my mind while watching this: If you are a KZfaqr, you actually may WANT visual changes and movement ESPECIALLY during static talking head scenes. That is when focus breathing while holding up a product may be considered desirable and a plus, somewhat reminiscent of the vertigo effect.

Great review Mark 👍

Congrats on posting one of the first reviews on this lens! The focus breathing seems pretty bad, but it still seems terrific for photography. Hoping for a Black Friday deal on this one.

torn between this and 30 1.4 on a6100 - loved the 22mm pancake on efm

Been waiting nearly 10 years for a quality 23mm for Sony APS-C. Glad it's finally here and looks good, just wish it was a bit smaller. A COMPACT quality 23mm F2 would be amazing and would be a huge seller because of the compact size.

Price is little high compare to 30mm but 23mm is sweet spot, Since I'm waiting for so long i will definitely buy this lens

The focal length I wanted 2 years ago, but now have covered with a zoom. I can't justify the cost, but I still want it!

I think Fujifilm has a setting in the menu to set manual focus ring operation to linear. I can't confirm that it'd work with the Sigma though.

Now to just offload my Lumix GX85 and lenses now that I've transitioned to a ZV-E10 and get this to go with my 16mm! May even look for another body to have as a B cam on the used market.

Will try this lens soon

I will be 100% buying and will 100% use your link!

Great video Mark! I was thinking of upgrading my lens but I'm on a budget. I currently own the ZV-E10. This price point seems a little too high for me. I'd be using for recording videos of my Kids for KZfaq (without a tripod), traveling and taking photos, some portrait photos also. What camera can you recommend? I've been looking at the Sigma 30mm 1.4 but not sure if that is good for video?

Yeah was waiting for this one for little Dougie!

Have you tried it on full frame with Clear Image Zoom to resolve the crop/vignette..? I’m wondering what effective focal length you get.

I am waiting for Sony to update a6400 and Sigma 16mm will be my first lens choice, with new clear image zoom I will have 16-24mm f1.4 lens which is all I need in my KZfaq studio.

Well, that was an easy purchase to make! Thanks for the pre-order! 😊

Neat-O! Thanks Mark, Walter may be getting a new Sigma hat.

the new favourite APS-C lens maybe

Nice lens!Loved the shots at the intro….pretty artsy! Handheld or added external stab? Great energy Mark…almost want to buy these lenses and then buy a camera to fit! Btw the 23mm made you look more like Chris Hemsworth, but the CDN accent offset.

I just wish it had a m/a switch on it. I think I'm too spoiled with my G Master lenses. The switch would help me go from auto to manual when I'm filming MMA fights when I have to switch to shooting from behind the cage.

Oh boy. I just switched back to APS-C, and was shooting with the Sony 35 1.8 on my a7C. I picked up the 30 immediately (again) thinking "here I go sitting a mile from the camera again for my talking head", and wow... this happens less than a week later. Another great video Mark.

Have you considered the Sigma I-Series 24mm f/2? It’s only 35 grams heavier and has an aperture ring and a 9 blade aperture with curved blades. I bought it used for my A7C but going to try it out on the A6700. Sure it’s a stop slower but smaller than Sony’s 24/1.4 GM which I also have. Going to give it a try. Thanks for the video.

Very good. Immediately in the cart.

5:12 never realised that! But now Now i believe it's ...you! Mr. Nolan!

Good video . Thanks for being so helpful because of u I learned so much about camera ur awesome.. can we see the 85mm stigma lens f1.4 ? If u get a chance to test it out ..

Hello What is the best between these lenses to use on a ZV-E10 camera to capture product (sneakers) shots in a 3.6*4.2 meters room? Sigma 23mm of Sigma 16mm

Nice! I'm going to buy this nice lens for my A6300!

Wow this lens looks awesome on the FX30!

Excellent intro!

Thanks!

Sounds like a monster. I own the Viltrox 23 and it has the aperture ring and better build. But the sigma looks sharper and the minimum focus distance is better

I think you make a good double for Sam Neill. BTW, one can have a complete camera setup with the APS-C for the price of a Sony Alpha 1.

I havent even watched this video yet and I already like it.

Need the Viltrox 23mm vs the new Sigma 23mm now. The Viltrox has been my main lens forever now, and hard to beat at just $280 to me, but would love to see how these stack up against each other Mark.

Your videos are too good. What a goober ! 😂

This may be a great lens for the ZV-E1 I know it's not full frame but a little clear image zoom and we are good to go. Did you happen to test that on your a7iv? Cheers thanks for another great video.

Great review, Mark! Next video to make: Sigma 23mm vs Viltrox 23mm...which I bought on your recommendation ;-)

This lens seems to outperform the 24mm GM in every area except build and bokeh. 24mm GM bokeh is as close to perfection as one can achieve. The only complaint one can make against it is the chromatic aberration, and as you've shown, this Sigma seems to have very little or non. For $900 cheaper, it's definitely steal!

Openheimer is going to be awesome, thank you!

Oh Wow, they already sent it to you for review? I am too late as always :-) Nice review as always.

Amazing lens! Really impressed. You really do look like Chris Nolan, with NSYNC hair

Great content as usual! I have the Viltrox 23mm 1.4 for my little Dougie. How would you compare it to this new Sigma? Worth the switch in your opinion?

It may be diffrent question .Do we stil need lens with image stabilization even if we put camera on DJI RS3 Mini gimbal ? Counting out Zv e10 . Cheers

Hey Mark! I do a bit of recording myself in the gym. What lens focal length would you recommend for that?

Hey Mark! Great video. I have one question: when you used the Sigma 23mm f1.4 DC DN like e.g. at 5:22, how far away were you from the camera?

Thank you. Does this lens improve low light performance?

Damn you, Mark! I have been set on a Sigma 18-50, but now I’m second guessing myself 😂🫣

Awesome lenses i went with the 30mm F1.4 on the zv e10.. I find the fhd 60fps quality is soft is this just sony or perhaps partially the lens?

I’d love to see a comparison between this and my Viltrox 23 1.4

How does this lens compare with the Sony lens for the ZV-E10? I need a low light lens

Can we see comparison of this lens compared to the sigma 18-50mm at 23mm on the fx30?

Yo Markie Mark, got my Sigma 16mm for the ZVE10 the other day (love it) thanks for making me spend all my hard earned cash on my new camera addiction :p

Was the intro shot with S&Q mode?

Great lens for photos as all new sigma lenses, but it breathes a lot, similar to Sigma 56 . Viltrox 23 and 56 have worse IQ especially chromatic aberrations but they breathes less. For video my choice is viltrox and it's significantly cheaper. It's great to have a lot of choice.

so if I had to pick one lens that covers almost everything what would that be? researching the zv-e10 or Fx30

Do you recommend this lens for capturing wedding photos? I already own the 16mm Sigma and I'm considering whether it's worthwhile to have both focal lengths for shooting a wedding.

Still watching your Videos, Mark. Still loving the Sony ZV-E10. Still not loving police. Still rock my khakis with a cuff and a crease. And I love Sigma lenses and DAMN your channel grows like magic mushrooms.

How is the AF during video with this lens? I heard third party af lens don't work too well with Sony's face registration

Holy crap, you really do look like Christopher Nolan! How does this lens stack up to the Sony/Zeiss 24 f1.8 for APS-C?

Great video and awesome Sigma put you on the embargo list - are you crazy rich now? :D Jokes aside if you have the lenses a side by side comparison with ZV-E10 + Sigma 23 1.4 vs. A7IV + Sony 35 1.8 would be interesting. My guess is, there won't be much difference :)

Mark, when are you gonna start teaching a photography class? I'd totally sign up. Sure it's about 500 miles away from me, but its totally worth the drive.

I was about to buy a viltrox.. what would you pick: viltrox 23mm 1.4 or sigma 23mm 1.4?

Mark, I was ready to pull the trigger and buy the Viltrox PRO 27mm. But you screwed me up again😂. Same price, but Viltrox is heavier and better built (I think without seeing either lens). I want a 35mm equivalent. What is your suggestion for nature photography with the Sony a6700?

I'm wanting to buy a single lens for my zve10 but I'm in doubt about the sigma 23mm 1.4 and sigma 30mm 1.4. I think I prefer the 30mm focal length especially for portraits. But I read on some forums that the autofocus (AF) of the 23mm 1.4 is much faster and that the image is sharper compared to the 30mm 1.4, as it is a newer lens (2023 compared to the 30mm of 2016). What do you think? Do you notice this big difference in autofocus speed and sharpness?

Hey mark! I have a question though it's not related to this video. Why is it too saturated after color space tranform in DaVinci Resolve when using HLG3. Any fix or tweaks without buying leeming lut?

Which Sony apsc camera do you recommend for photography? 😅

will the focus breathing be an issue if im trying to pull focus smoothly in a film??

Wow, the sigma trio is now the quarto.

We Love Doug :D

When is this lens going to be released for Fuji ? I want it now!

Hi dear Mark, your reviews are great I had a few specific questions that may be questions for others: - First of all, the focus problem of this lens may be solved within a year by updating the lens framewear? - Is the problem of barrel distortion that exists in the 16mm model visible and impressive in this lens as well? - Which lens do you recommend (16, 23, 30) for producing KZfaq content in a small space with professional decor in a small environment where a large part of the decor is in the image (which minimizes the problem of barrel distortion and on the other hand increases the background decor space in frame)? - Between the 23 and 30 lenses, which lens do you recommend for producing podcast videos and product review videos? with these specifications: + Minimal barrel distortion + The most background space and behind the subject in the frame + Excellent sharpness + Suitable bokeh at a short distance between the subject and the background Thanks buddy 🙏

Hello. if I have a sigma 16mm and 30mm do you recommend to buy 23mm?)

HEY MARK!i love my zve10 withkit lens but i need a zoom lens. i want one wth the greatest amount of zoom while still being budget as i am on lifelong disability benefit so cant work to get extra money and dont want to have to save foe 10 years

Help me please! Which one should i get 30mm or 23mm most of the time i shoot car vid, thank youuu

Ooh viltrox has a 23 1.4 now too, face off? 🤔

Please make a comparison against the Viltrox 23mm and don't make me cry, that I bought the Viltrox 23mm a few weeks ago.^^

Looks like more quality. Invite in some Camp Koality if you will.... In other news, a Newfoundland Iceberg trip may be happening by someone with a new OM Digital camera that won't include me 🤣Thanks for the affiliate link though! We went with Camera Canada in the end... it arrives Wednesday!

What's the name of the music/ artist name of the music that is played at the beginning ? Can you send me the source link ?

Dude you look like that frickin BABE OF A GORGEOUS STUD Mark Bennett at the 35mm focal length.

I was starting to get jealous of all the Full Frame lens releases then this happened. Probably the one missing piece for my APS-C set-up. I'm pleased I stayed with APS-C in the end. Cost _is_ a factor for me and the FX-30 is my aspirational camera. The form factor would have been a concern except that I have the Sony 11mm and 15mm for vlogging usage, and the Sigma 16mm for inside work, but having a 35mm equiv will make for a great Xmas present to myself.

Do the vignette is large if you put that on full frame?

Is this lens SIGMA 23 mm f1.4 a good lens for the SONY ZV-E10?

Can you compare with viltrox 23mm f1.4

Mark, great video... I think I made the mistake of buying a Sony ZV E10 camera with a kit lens. Actually I want to use it for vlog but trust me I didn't like the output quality. I learnt how to operate the camera but still find it hard to get the desired video output. After watching your video I am thinking of buying a prime lens and try again. With your other videos, i have a few sections, pls help me to choose the final one. My expectation here is to shoot the outstanding videos along with the low light performance. Sigma 16 mm 1.4 Sony 15 mm 1.4 Viltorx 13 mm 1.4 Sigma 23 mm 1.4 Viltrox 23 mm 1.4 If I miss this shot then my wife will be super angry and start shooting from the phone itself 😂

Buddy, you're hilarious! You aound like a maritimer! ❤

This sigma 23mm in vertical shoot how far from the camera we can shoot ?

Mark, at this point, if you could only pick just one lens amongst the sigma quartet now, which one would it be?

Hey Mark. Can i use the 23mm F1.4 lens for Tiktok, Reels and KZfaq sit down videos?

To be honest, the Sigma looked better than the GM lens here. Even sharper and cleaner. However, both very good optically. Using this on a ZV-E10, well, that's kind of "strange" because nearly every lens you put on ZV-E10 will be a lot bigger than the camera itself. :D On the other hand, it isn't really easy to get fast apertures on APS-C, making these Sigmas about the only option if you want prime lenses of a certain quality.
