actually, i was always looking at the sigma, until i heard about sony releasing a 15 mm 1.4, so i decided to wait for the release. But due to this price, I will actually chose the sigma now as I don't think this +450€ are a good investment in 1 mm more wide-angle and some buttons and switches. Maybe I'll just get the Samyang 12mm or the sony 11 mm soon for ultra wide angle. So yeah, win for sigma again. But just my opinion...

I think people who want a build out that involves a small gimbal will consider the sony, but otherwise the Sigma will remain the quality/value king. The ronin rs3 and ronin sc both handle the ZV-E10 with the sigma fine. But people wanting the smaller crane gimbals struggle with the sigma. I returned my crane gimbal because of that combo not working.

That's a shame there's no OSS with the new lenses. I really regret not getting an A6600 (I went with the 6400 to save some money) and so would love that OSS feature. I do like it's smaller and thus lighter. I use the Sigma ALL the time and love it. It's also super affordable.

Agreed. For video shooting, no OSS which the majority of the APS-C bodies are, is a miss as you now need to carry a gimbal as well. With the said, This lens should balance very nice as the sigma is just too big for easily balancing / front heavy.

Tbh, I just believe image stabilization/OSS, or whatever anacronym is applied, has been very, very overhyped in the last decade. For example, Sigma offers some fast primes, and is it that difficult to hold a camera sufficiently still to avoid any blurred vision. Video and bloggers are in a different category. If you can, just save to purchase a body, e.g a6600 which has image stabilisation built in. Also, see the inbuilt image stabilisation in the Fuji X cameras, the mega stabilisation in the , misconceived criticisms of the OMD/OMS bodies- up to 8 stops.

Having been down the EF-S route previously, I really appreciate that Sony has offered these new lenses for APS-C just as I'm getting to grips with the changeover from Canon.

Weirdly enough I feel that the new 11mm f1.8 does a better job at competing with the sigma 16. the sigma was the best value proposition for streamers but now you can spend a little more for a wider angle at the aperture you were probably gonna stream at anyways. It's very enticing if you're looking for a primary stream lens and a no brainer if you already have a sigma 16 and are looking for a B lens.

For the price, I don't think I will be switching over! I generally prefer Sony's first party APSC lens over Sigma's - as they tend to be much more compact - but the price is nowhere in the same range for this one. The Sigma is less than half price of the Sony, and is very widely available second hand for even less. Plus, I don't really think its that much smaller than the Sigma 16mm.

Yes, out the outset it should be noted the Sigma 16 1.4 is one of the BEST lens in recent photographic history. Who has read a review, anywhere,that was less than glowing in its praise! Also, Sony apsc owners, you should never forget that Sony left you almost completely out in the cold so far as native glass was concerned. It was left to Signa to release the famed trio of apsc lens that Arthur, particularly, singled out as almost must buys to provide a holistic and very high quality set of lens. " Law of diminishing returns"- yes, that certainly applies here. Sigma could have produced an AF Zeiss Batis type lens, and the cost? I have had a Sigma 16 1.4 on my a6000, added to by a 6400, basically because of the stellar IAF of the 6400- fund didn't stretch to a 6600. Be sensible at continue to support Sigma with this and its other lens. The Sigma 16 1.4 is all the lens virtually anyone needs, the value for money 💰 aspect seals any argument.

@@SpuddyIRL Sorry, I actually meant 30mm, far less expensive than the 35. I like it a lot for general use. It's very sharp even at f/1.4. I do wish it was stabilised. 30mm is a good focal length for streaming if it's set up 2-3 feet away from you (I've used that setup as a webcam) but it might not be wide enough for hand-held vlogging if you're pointing it at yourself. You'd probably be better with the kit lens zoomed out for that so you don't have to have your arm fully extended constantly.

But, as an engineer, I know it's much much harder to design and produce something that performs the same (or better) in a smaller size and lighter weight. I know it's sophisticated. It's an amazing feat that Sony can make it even better with more features. I know it's expensive and we already get the most value from Sigma, it's diminishing return. But, guys, they just cannot sell things like this cheap. Even though my skill is amateur and I only shoot for hobby, but I just wanna use this lens.

What makes it very difficult for me to choose is the fact that the Sony is so much smaller compared to the Sigma and also somewhat sharper, but I like the overall image rendition and bokeh on the Sigma more - and the Sigma, uncorrected, has much less distortion. But the Sigma's size... I don't care for the extra features on the Sony lens: aperture ring, buttons etc.; what I care about is weight and image quality.

For me, I have the sigma 16mm F1.4 and found that it is a bit big and heavy on the a6000 body. It make be hesitate to bring it out . I normally take the Samyang 35mm F1.8 or sigma 55mm F1.4 and use my Huawei Leica for 16mm shot. 1mm in the wide side is a lot and to have almost half the weight(219g), I cannot say that this is a refine but a technology improvement. Some comparison example : - tamaron 28-75mm F2.8 G2 could only reduce 2% weight. - Sigma 16mm 405g; 30mm 265g; Sure, whether this worth almost double of price is another story.

I hope that Sony will make some GM "CQ" Lenses which are of highest possible image quality without flaws that have to be corrected in software, fx a 15mm 1.8 or 2.0 for APSC that are both compact and with very high image quality and a 24mm 1.8 or 2.0 for full frame. I also hope for professional Cameras in APSC with high resolution EVF´s. The new 14mm Sony Lens are "expensive", but THAT is NOT a "crime" ! Of course it is more expensive than a Sigma Lens, it is also better, if you want something that are better, then it cost more, is it too expensive, maybe, but you do not get any better right now ! I do not like the Sigma 16mm it is too big and heavy for a APSC Sony Camera !

Nothing ground breaking from this lens to challenge the half priced sigma, which has the same performance if not better. I doubt many people will be getting this sony lens, its a few years late into the game.

Crazy how much smaller it is than the Sigma. But the bokeh is indeed better on the Sigma. So we're happy that both lenses coexist. Lol @ the Dramatized Reenactment, well done!

Looking at your photos and I'm not an expert, and I'm just watching the results on the screen. I found the sigma lens still a tad bit sharper. I love sony cameras but personally I have an issue with their lenses, it just seems like it's not top quality for the price that they ask.

Would def replace this for my sigma 16mm but for the price. Hate the motor noise and size of Sigma. Never been a fan of Sigma but haven’t found anything in that range with f1.4. I for one prefer the sigma 18-55mm f2.8 over the 16mm.

I don't know why people are so upset about it. More lenses the better. Yes, its expensive but is intended for professionals while sigma is not. Having a small lens on a gimbal is great. Having an aperture ring which can be clickable? Yes please. Having a focus button...great. very small and very wide. Yeees. Very sharp and no distortion.....yes. so as you can see, there are a lot of things coming with this lens and for some are very important, especially videographers. So, I would buy the Sony if money was no issue. Hands down. Maybe should be a bit cheaper but for the quality I think it is fair. People keep comparing with sigma but we all know how great the sigma is and its extremely hard to compete with that. I dare anyone to go to Nikon and Canon and see if these companies have anything closer to Sony 15 1.4.
