Canon M50 with Sigma 16mm & 30mm Distance Question Answered | Canon EF-M lenses | Roving Chestnut

[@neil8496]

Oh my god, I'm speechless!! Thanks so much for taking up my question, it's actually proved to be VERY helpful and also so reassuring as we've spent the whole day choosing a full video kit. Now we know the Sigma 16mm will definitely do the job and fit Kate in doing her Yoga stretches! We've just ordered the Canon M50 after seeing the quality of your youtube videos. We opted for M50 with the canon 15-45 & 55-200 lens package and ordering the Sigma 16mm lens separately as it's just fantastic. We've also added the Rode video mic pro and Joby 3k stand with the Rode wireless Go and lavalier Go for different applications after seeing you use these - We can tell you research well and like all the best kit :) Thanks again, I think Kate will be subscribing to your channel too now! 👍🏻

[@RovingChestnut]

Realy pleased that the video was useful and helped. Sounds like a great package you are ordering. The other thing you might wish to consider spare batteries depending on how much videoing you will be doing? There is also available a mains battery adapter, I purchased a non Canon one as it was a lot cheaper. All the best with your new projects 😎👍🏻

[@lovemauihawaii]

Stellar video, this is useful info! Have a few questions about your indoor office filmset in this video.... (1) Which lens, and are you shooting at f1.4? (2) Distance between you and camera? (3) Distance between you and the monitors behind you? (4) Viewable width of your film set? (i.e. distance between the lefthand monitor's left edge, and the righthand monitor's right edge?)

[@RovingChestnut]

In that video I used the Sigma 30mm F1.4, prob about 1.5 m behind me to monitors and about same between me and camera. I dont use that setup any more, as you can see from my more recent videos. Hope this helped 😎👍🏻

[@patapead.m.s.7402]

Thanks Mr.Roving Chestnut You have answered all the questions that I'm not sure about the purchase decision.

[@RovingChestnut]

Really pleased the video was useful, thanks for the feedback it is apprechiated. 😎👍🏻

[@yodancewithkaty2051]

Brilliant! Thanks a million JP... You're a star! LOVE your video - perfectly demonstrates that we are making the right choice with the M50 & Sigma 16mm. I'm 5'9'' so your use of props was awesome, shows that I'd fit in the screen at a stretch. I've subscribed to both your channels as I enjoy your great content and especially liked your slow motion of your daughter, bubbles and dog - great footage, fun to watch! Namaste

[@RovingChestnut]

No problem, really pleased that this was helpful and helped with you making your choices. My daughter Mathilda is often found close by either helping with a second camera for b-roll or taking the thumbnail pictures which feature me! I have a couple of playlists that you might like 'Family Roving' and '2020 Roving' which are more film and story based videos opposed to camera equipment. 😎👍🏻

Thanks JP.. One by one i watch your videos...

Thank you, I hope you enjoy them 😎👍🏻

[@milanpsain865]

Sir , can you please suggest best video lens for canon m50. Which has lowest aperture and image stabilisation. Please help.

[@RovingChestnut]

Depends on what your filming 😎👍🏻

[@gilcarvalho5332]

Roving, could you make a video showing us your setup ("behind the scenes") and how you set your M50 , especially color profile and color grading? Thanks

[@RovingChestnut]

Setting my M50 up is really easy as it’s all auto 😎👍🏻

[@willstone8313]

JP, Thank you for your informative and earnest content. Your channel is inspirational. I hope to start a YT channel this summer and watching your vids sets a good benchmark. You appear to be a kindred spirit. I just subscribed. Keep up the great content and don't get discouraged! PS: I just received my M50 & 16mm Sigma lens *today* :) --So frustrating to wait for the battery to charge for the first time so I can start learning how to use my M50! I feel like an impatient child. Be Well, JP

[@RovingChestnut]

Thank you Will appreciated! Good luck with the new channel hope it all goes well and that’s why I have spare batteries 😎👍🏻

[@30killabeatz]

Dope video. I used the k&F filters with my m50 and sigma 16mm lens, Well with it. 💪🏽 can you do a video on cinestyle vs the cinema profile?

[@RovingChestnut]

Thanks, I have a variable ND filter but have not been using! maybe I need to! I watched one of the music videos you produced kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4rIeXtrgrqjmdU and I must say your video skills are awsome, the filming, effects and editing are brilliant! I think that maybe you would do a better job than I could on a cinestyle v's cinema profile video! thanks for watching and commenting its apprechiated. 😎👍🏻

[@30killabeatz]

Roving Chestnut thank you. That video wasn’t spot by me or the m50. I want to do music videos but this Quarantine is slowing me down

Interesting video, like it, now could you compare the sigma 52mm with a canon 50stm lens? Thanks JP

[@RovingChestnut]

Thanks a bit different, and yes I think that would be a good video to produce. I will see if I can arrange it! 😎👍🏻

[@IterRomin1]

Very informative. Liked n subbed. I have a budget to buy jus one either 16mm or 30mm. Which one would you suggest. Thanks in advance

[@RovingChestnut]

Personally I use my 30mm the most of my three lenses but that’s because of the type of filming I do for my other channel, the 16mm if you are thinking of vlogs but it does really depend on what you are planning to film 😎👍🏻

And could you please tell us about the performance of the sigma 30mm in portrait and macro photography , thank you 😊

[@RovingChestnut]

I will look into doing a 30mm / 56mm comparison as requested 😎👍🏻

[@S.A.A75-j7q]

Roving Chestnut thank you so much

[@englishdave8635]

just got the 16mm today I glad I did just not sure if I want the 56 as well but I have the nifty fifty with the speed booster so it pretty much the same I think just not as good quality maybe I should get the 30mm, sometimes its nice not to have such a wide lens what do you think I would like to do some street photography

[@RovingChestnut]

Enjoy the 16mm it’s a great lenses, as you already have a 50mm I personally would go for a 30mm as that way you have more choice. 😎👍🏻

[@bazmurphy7792]

That was very interesting and learnt something new. Thumbs up from me.

[@RovingChestnut]

Glad you enjoyed it 😎👍🏻

[@arvinramos3341]

how about a canon m50 and a 50mm 1.8 stm sir? vacause this one only is my gear as of now and i am short of a money..hoping to get some good video shots with 50mm...thanks

[@RovingChestnut]

I dont currently have that lens available, but im sure you are getting some great results 😎👍🏻

[@ioana2201]

So.. I guess that the 30mm one is the best for sit down beauty videos? I want to start a beauty channel I will buy the Canon M50, I don't know anything about cameras, and I have no idea which lens to buy 😂 I don't plan to vlog my life, so my camera will be fixed on a tripod in front of my table all the time

[@RovingChestnut]

Try the Canon M50 with the standard 18-45mm kit lens at first as it might do the job just fine for you, if not then consider the Sigma f1.4 16mm or 30mm depending on how much room you are working with 😎👍🏻

[@Ak-gr5ml]

what about camera use in your this video intro and lens please ?

[@RovingChestnut]

Looks like it was the M50 with the 30mm lens.

[@yamillvillar1740]

Hey Roving hi from latin america! congratulations for your chanel! Can I ask you something? I have a ronin sc and the canon m50 so I would like to use one sigma 35mm 1.4 but I watched is so heavy, do you have some solution or some similar lens compatible whit that features? Thabk you so much!

[@RovingChestnut]

The Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN and the 56mm F1.4 DC DN both work when on the DJI Ronin SC, I have a Ronin SC! I have on my to do list a video of the M50 and the Sigma Trio of lenses. 😎👍🏻

Hi thank you for making such an informative video. It really helps us a lot with our purchase decisions. I'm still quite on the fence with the 16mm. Will it help alleviate some of the 4k crop of the M50? I hope you can provide some footage of a typical arm's reach Vlog style video of the 16mm in 4k? Thanks so much!ore power to you!

[@RovingChestnut]

Not really, I’m in the process of doing a comparison between the M50 and the M6 mk2 both in 4K mode so that might help you! 😎👍🏻

[@LampangCzechin]

Hi Roving, I am new subscriber on your channel. I really like your videos. No messing around and straight to the point. I am also new owner of CanonM50 and new youtuber. I am using my kitlens atm for all my vlogging but I am thinking of getting canon 10-20mm EFS in future as i saw another video in which they were comparing sigma 16mm with canon 10-20 and canon lens came out much wider than Sigma. I am thinking of getting spare batteries for my camera. You mentioned in your video, that you got some third party battery for your cam. Can you let me know which brand? I don't trust much the cheap batteries from AliExpress and was gonna get the original one but as you mentioned in the video, they are really expensive and I would like to spent the money for lens or the wireless microphone. I saw you use the Rode wireless go. I am thinking of getting the Saramonic Blink 500 as it has 2 transmitters as well as 2 lavaliers included together with dead cat wind protectors for both of the lavaliers and all that for just 50$ more than the Rode one. Thank you for answer. Lubomir

[@RovingChestnut]

Welcome and thanks! I'm assuming you have an adapter for the 10-20mm as its not an EF-M mount lens? 10mm is a lot wider, just check that it will deliver what you want! the pack of two batteries I purchased over 12 months ago and they are still working fine are Qumox and I purchased them on ebay, they came with a twin charger as well. The spec on the Sarmonic Blink 500 sounds good, let me know how it works out. 😎👍🏻

[@LampangCzechin]

@@RovingChestnut Thanks for the answer. I do have both Viltrox adapter and Viltrox speedbooster. So far i have only nifty fifty to use with the speedbooster and I am planning to use it for thumbnails and b-rolls. I will look up the batteries.

[@LampangCzechin]

What is the battery capacity? The original ones are 850mAh. The third party ones usually put 1250mAh.

[@RovingChestnut]

Both my Canon and Qumox ones say 7.4v 875 Mahers 6.5Wh
