Thanks for the video! I was actually torn between these two lenses, and I know that the Art version of Sigma lenses are legendary among the many photography communities online. I had to make what I originally thought was a tough call and buy the 30mm 1.4 DC DN, and I honestly couldn't be happier with my decision. It's a beautiful lens, and far, far more affordable than the art variant. The bokeh on the art variant is very nice, but I can't justify spending over three times the amount I paid for the 30mm on a slightly different flavor of bokeh (among other small things).

[@adirakessler235]

[@SidneyDiongzon]

The sequel to that story is in my latest video!!

[@CN-pr8le]

High quality review here! Exactly what i needed

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Oh good! I’m glad this was helpful!!

[@debbbs4630]

EXACTLY what I was looking for. Needed help deciding. 30mm it is!

[@YCImaging]

2 questions, is this IBIS really that bad on the a6500?! 2nd, random but why did you blur the label on the bananas? Haha

[@SidneyDiongzon]

It normally isn't, but for some reason it turned out the way it did, lol. And I just wanted to have fun with the censor blur...no real reason, lol.

[@creativeryan7837]

lol

[@NappyVisuals]

This helps a bunch! Im in a hunch between getting Sigma contemporary (30mm) or the ART (35mm) + a speed booster set up for my gh5. Still a tough choice if not worried about pricing and more about performance cause the results are so similar! But when looking at the pricing it's a no brainer to go with the contemporary glass if trying to save money.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

I’m so glad this was helpful!

[@Givizub]

Best lens comparison ever seen. Nice examples. Also it needs lanscape view.

[@averiebishop]

Thank you so much for this video! I just recieved a grant from my university to make a youtube web series about sexual education. I plan to use a Sony a6500 and the sigma lenses! Without your reviews, I wouldn't have been able to decide which one to purchse

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Wow! That’s so awesome. Glad my videos we’re helpful!

[@Vikingdescendent]

Sigma lenses give the Fujifilm X-T3 like profiles on certain Sony e mount cameras! I posted some samples on the subject on my KZbin channel using the SIgma 16mm DC DC f 1.4 Lens on the Sony a6500.

[@JangLilBitofErrthang]

using the sigma 30mm on Crop, you will get 45mm eqv at 24mp, using the 35mm on Full Frame (sony a7-a7iii) you will get 35mm at 24mp. Using the 30mm on full frame in crop mode you will get 45mm at only 10mp. But the 35mm on the crop body you will get 52.5mm at 24mp. Hence the reason im getting the 35 to get full Mp usage on full frame. I already have the 30mm and it is still a monster on crop or full frame.

[@OswaldoLafee]

thank you this was very helpful. Mind made up going with the 30mm for my A 6000 getting rid of the kit lens.

[@Azmir]

Love this little series you got going here! I lost it when you blurred the banana logo hahaha! Anyways some great quality content here, keep up with these videos man :)

[@SidneyDiongzon]

+Azmir Haha! Thanks man!

[@dayneellison3533]

Never a Dole moment with his videos

[@SinaSamii]

wouldn't you say the sigma 30mm , because it's wider, can get closer to the subject and hence gives shallower depth of filed?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

You definitely can! It all depends on how you use each lens though. I can get macro shots with any lens by whacking it

[@joshuavega4563]

would it be because the 5mm difference makes the 35mm art more bokehlicious? just wondering, coz the closer you get, it might have a much smoother bokeh? Im really torn in choosing between the 2 lenses :( cant decide

[@SidneyDiongzon]

No, not really. The difference is the lens quality. The ART lenses will always be better!

[@joshuavega4563]

they said that the manual focusing with the 30mm sucks, is it true?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Yeah pretty much :(

[@TsjernoKid]

The 30mm 1.4 Art is alot better than the non art version, you should check that one out

[@mproductionsmusik]

Yeah exactly the 5mm difference does increase a little the bokeh and the illusion of being more on focus because it closer to the subjet. Syaing that the art could still be altitle sharper on other test but i dont think its that of a huge difference for the price difference!

[@PoppyBlasted]

Great VID as always man.. Can u send me a link for a nd filter for my 16-50 kit lens for a6500 that light filming outside is a pain for my vlogging VIDs

[@SidneyDiongzon]

There's no good filters to fit that particular lens, so you'll have to get a step-up ring (40.5mm to 52mm) from Amazon. Then get the ND filter (52mm) from my description link! Hope this helps!

[@iandavis1355]

I've really like my Sigma 30mm 1.4 DC DN on my Sony A6300. I'd buy it again if I needed to. It gives a lot of bang for the buck.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Great lens!

[@LoadTronic]

Your videos are great. Why do you only have 60.000 subscribers? I don’t unterstand

[@SidneyDiongzon]

THANK YOU!!! Working my way to 100K one person at a time!

[@johnashcroft-jones6091]

I agree with Weylles. Cost versus benefit is important. Any shortcomings of a lens has a work around. Learn how to use the old techniques to eliminate what we used to call "Camera shake" (Bracing straps, elbow on lamppost, putting tool down etc}. That will reduce need for OSS, IBIS etc. which make cameras and lenses bulkier, heavier, more fragile and a lot more expensive.

[@Sony-Fanboy]

Great video, this will help a lot for many other people. But in my eyes the difference isn't groundbreaking. Of course the Art series is a little bit better, because that's also what you pay for. But i'm fine with both my 30mm and 56mm contemporary series lenses for my Sony A6000.

[@marc6652]

Thanks for sharing. I think I'll change my 25 F/1.4 Panasonic for this 30mm F/1.4 Sigma on my Panasonic G9.

[@yuhangkoh4508]

I'm having sigma 16mm f1.4 and sony e 50mm f1.8, and now l'm thinking to add this sigma 30mm f1.4 into my collection for travel photography. However some says 16mm is able to do the job quite well instead of 30mm. What's your opinion?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Each lens produces a different look. 30mm is a good middle ground!

[@nakinaki7991]

This is how the comparison should be made ... instant Sub

[@georgskt]

Sad not to exist the sigma 30mm F / 1.4 ART e-mount :( Only, A-mount, Canon and Nikon for what I researched .... The 30mm art seems to be a good lens, lighter and more discreet :) Good reviews, quality of their reviews are very good! I'm currently filming with a Nikon D3300, but I'm almost buying an A6500, but I just do not have $ for good starting lenses ... I think I'll buy a manual adapter, and wear Nikkor and Tokina lenses. Again, good comparative video!

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Thanks so much! The Nikon D3300 is still a great camera, so just keep shooting with that and keep saving money to upgrade one day!

[@georgskt]

Is there a possibility for you to do some reviews comparing Speed Booster (Metabones VS parallel brand viltrox, etc ...) on the sony a6300 or a6500? Just a suggestion ... of course ... totally manual use pq af never works well with these adapters, some do not even have this option, doubt is even with regard to quality and flares ...

[@SidneyDiongzon]

If I get my hands on those adapters, I definitely will! Although, based on my friends' experience, the Metabones Speedbooster is the solid choice! Plus, they just added a recent firmware update to to enhance the autofocus. Hope this helps!

[@georgskt]

cool :) But it would be interesting to make a comparison to a first line adapter like Metabones, against the low cost, because the difference in cost is striking, especially here in Brazil, are high import taxes, where ends every 50, 100 dollars make a huge Difference in the end. Maybe even have reviews out there, but not with quality of comparison that you do in similar and very explanatory situations. Anyway, good work bro :)

[@MarlonKingShow]

nice review and comparison. I was looking for them on a Canon, but this was very clearly laid out and well described. Thank you

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Thanks Marlon!!!

[@nathalievanderaa9181]

the 30 is for crop and the 35 for full frame?

[@Elizabeth-ey5gx]

Hello! Do you think 30mm is a good choice for food photography ?? Thanks a lot for your vids :)

[@SidneyDiongzon]

I would say go wider because you want to add some drama to take photos of food! If you're using the Sony a6500, I'd go with the Sigma 16mm lens

[@Elizabeth-ey5gx]

Yes I do love some "drama" effect in photos. Thanks for the fast reply! I've actually had an EOS 650D for years but will be updating it to 5DS in a few months. Still a good idea to go wider? On another note, how wide is enough for portraits?? (without having a fisheye effect)

[@SidneyDiongzon]

For portraits, I'd wouldn't go wider than 35mm.

[@faisalyum]

Which one is the best for model photography?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Sigma 30mm for sure!

[@faisalyum]

thanks:)

[@alexgoriatchenkov]

30 mm almost 1/3 price from 35mm. That's full frame prices. For home and more, crop is best option. TY for nice side by side comp.

[@sovide7436]

can you compare to sigma 18-35mm 1.8?...

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Maybe one day!

[@user-xs1rw4ph6n]

Really it would be interesting

[@inSpyr]

wish you did a comparison in autofocus noise during video mode

[@MrMonfabio]

As an APS-C lens, the 30mm shows a lot of vignetting instead of the 35mm

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Well, not really. I adding some vignetting to this video in post, but there isn't any vignetting at all on the 30mm in camera.

[@ThorCaes]

Very nice review! I noticed that the AF ont he 30MM is slight a bit better. I was wondering though, do they have any kind of noise while focussing? I am on the verge of buying the 30MM as well. Just hoping that there won't be much noise.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

There is a slight noise, but not noticeable unless you're in a room with no sound at all. I usually film with a Rode VideoMic Pro or other external recorder, and I never hear any AF sound with those options. Hope this helps!

[@dondibanmagnetYT]

What camera did you use to test both lenses? Planning to get the art version on a6400.

[@deanrojas]

Oh you're the best, just what I was looking for :)

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Glad this was helpful!

[@deanrojas]

Sidney Diongzon you mean wa shell duo? 😝😝 thanks homie!

[@JoshLuciano]

YESS! I haven't tested the 30mm yet, but I fell in love with both the 85 1.4 and 35 1.4!

[@SidneyDiongzon]

+Joshua Luciano Awesome! I've yet to try the 85mm, but hope to soon!

[@JoshLuciano]

Omg, Sidney, you'll love it! I don't mind the weight of it at all to be honest. I know the 85 G-Master from Sony is lighter, but the Sigma feels awesomely built.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

+Joshua Luciano That's cool. I've been loving the results that people have posted!

[@OAVProduction]

lol luv the kitty cat response. great comparison

[@bhismadiandra4435]

is that sigma 35mm art for canon using mc-11? or just sigma 35 art for sony?. because i thinking of buying sigma 35mm art for canon with MC-11 for my sony a6500 and 5d (so i can using that lens on both camera). what do you think? thanks for the video.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Yeah, I use the Canon (EF Mount) version with the MC-11 adapter! It’s great for photos, but really noisy for video because of the adapter

[@bhismadiandra4435]

oww i see i see thanksss! very helpful!

[@jerryrichards8172]

Thank you I just I received my 30mm in the mail today. It's for my a-mount a77ll and ASTRO photography.

[@choi70]

thank you for showing all kinds of testing what I'm considering.

[@Houstnwehavuhoh]

Excuse my ignorance but, if I were to purchase one of these lenses, I would need the MC-11 adapter? I noticed some of these are advertised “for Sony E Mount”; I’m assuming that’s describing said adapter? Thanks

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Well, there's actually a NEW Sony version of the Sigma 35mm Art lens, so you don't need to get an adapter anymore!

[@DSDEMOMENTS]

what about this lens and what is Contemporary Lens means ? Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Canon EF-M Mount

[@WILLISNG]

Hey Sidney, I'm looking into a variable ND filter, would you recommend the Tiffen Variable ND filter you used for this?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

+WILLIS NG Absolutely!

[@bedevere007]

For the price, I think the 30mm is a better deal.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

+fractal_force Yep! Totally agree!

[@bedevere007]

Is it just me or I think with all the camera and lens advancements, staying with crop size sensor like Canon 7d Mark II is not a bad deal.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

+fractal_force You're totally right! It's all about how you use the camera!

[@Weird_Quests]

Great test - which one would you recommend for my brand new shiny Sony a6300? I’ve currently got the kit lens, but looking to get the 30 or 35 mm for portraits, the 16mm for street photography and architecture, and the 50mm for a kind of macro/portrait lens (it’ll be at about 75 on the camera)?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Probably the Sony 30mm!

[@Weird_Quests]

I'll take a look into borrowing one to get some hands-on experience :D The Sony 30mm comes with OSS, if I'm not mistaken?

[@xyrvee6094]

@@Weird_Quests Neither of them got OSS. If you plan on going to Fullframe (A7III or sth) I would buy the 35mm, if you will stay with APS-C go for the 30mm

[@charruaporelmundo]

Also the finish and grip of this lens is first class, far better than the other 3 ones (19, 30, 60 2.8)

[@uknighthuntingvision93]

I would not even consider paying 3 times the amount for a lens that does not out perform the other by at least twice as much. I would be happy to take wedding shots all day with the Sigma 30mm 1.4 DC DN Lens over the Art! It is just not cost effective, mind you when it comes to Lens Snobbery then we have to have the Art don't we?

[@refugioflores2226]

is it better to go for sony and get this lens or nikon d5500 and get the art is more expensive

[@NaviSingh]

sigma 1.4 art is it Full frame or Apsc????

[@Sertao2013]

Do you have any photos of a babys face ? I have a 2 year old grand baby and I wanted to get a lens that show good sharp eyes and face .

[@tecnolover2642]

Never been that impressed with the sigma 30mm. its got horrible chromatic aberation and its autofocus unreliabilty problems. hope they did better with the ART lens. what i want to see is a side by side with the sigma 30mm ART. I really like the 35mm ART but not sure its worth the high price??

[@refugioflores2226]

why u dont compare it with the 30mm 1.4 art?

[@j-f-]

How can we make a comparative video to show the sharpness of 2 lenses if the focus is not made exactly at the same place on the 2 pictures intended to be compared... ?!!?

[@AllroundSwizzy]

Hey, i'm watching this video in a lecture, so sadly I didn't hear what you said, was just looking at the sample shots. I read through some comments and saw you replied to a lot of them. You said that you love the look of the Sigmas, so do I. I'm looking to get a Nikon D5500/5600 together with 2 lenses for travel and sport (especially ski) pictures & video. I'm quite certain I'll get a 30mm for city photography and things where i move around a lot. However I'm struggling to figure out what kind of lens I'd need for sport & landscape photography. What kind of focal length is reasonable here? is 140mm enough? Do I go 200/300mm? Despite not hearing what you where saying the video looked really nice and well shot. I'll leave a sub :)

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Haha, I love that you're watching KZbin videos during a lecture! For sports, the longer the focal length the better! I'd go with the Sigma 120-300mm F2.8 DG OS HSM | S. You'll get sharp photos and a really far reach. For landscapes, I'd wait for the new Sigma 14mm F1.8 DG HSM | A. It's incredibly wide without distortion, and of course is an Art lens. At the same time, if you're looking a lens that will do both, just get Sigma 24-105. It's the perfect all-around lens to cover sport and photography. You can always go the Sigma website and go through their lens library. They have a good system of categorizing which lens you'll need based on what you want to shoot. Hope this helps!

[@AllroundSwizzy]

Haha, now that I'm home I'll watch it with sound. Awesome thanks for the quick reply. Sadly the 120-300 is sliiiightly out of my price range. Whats the advantage of the 24-105 over a 18-200? Is there another difference to them else than the 'F'? I've heard that the pictures kind of bend when shooting wide with those lenses. Considering shooting on snow is usually super bright anyways does the 'F' still matter as much? I spent so much time looking at what camera to get that I still have no idea what all those lenses are.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

The only advantage the 24-105mm has is that it's focal range is a good all-around range for most shoots. Plus, it's a sharp lens! I haven't seen much distortion at widest focal length, but you can always adjust that in Lightroom. And when you're shooting in snow, you'll probably want to shoot at F/11 anyway since it's so bright! Look up "Chase Jarvis Ski Photography" on KZbin. He gives a pretty tutorial on how to shoot sports photography in the snow. Hope this helps dude!

[@AllroundSwizzy]

it does indeed help a lot. thank you very much for your quick replies :)

[@bigstone1989]

May i ask, im using a Sony A-mount camera. Then is there a Sigma 30f14 for A-mount ? If yes, how can recognize for A-mount and for E-mount ? Thanks a lot

+3nnso Thanks! If you're using a Steadicam, then it wouldn't matter if the lens has stabilizer or not. I use a Glidecam, so it doesn't to me. I used the Sigma 30mm on the a6300 (before I bought my a6500) and it was awesome!

Thanks for the comparison, Sidney. You're always on spot with your videos. Have you tried the 30mm 1.4 on a sony a7 series or any other full frame sensor? I've been searching all over the place if you can use the inbody super 35mm to remove vignetting.

Yes, I've used the 30mm on a full-frame body, and it's still pretty good in crop mode! Thanks for watching!

[@Jasonadinatadentistrytoronto]

great video as always. was looking at purchasing the 30mm 1.4 because of your review but I would be able to get my hands on the sony 24mm 1.8. There is an obvious price difference but do you know how is the 24mm for video?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

+416 Dentistry I haven't used the 24mm yet, so I can't really say. I will say this though, I specifically chose the Sigma 30mm because I love the look of Sigma lenses, and the 30mm turns into 48mm (full-frame) which is close to the look of a 50mm lens. I love the look of that focal length because it's as close to what the human eye sees. Always go for a lens that has a distinct look that matches your visual style. Hope that helps!

Hi. Great videos. Thanks so much for sharing! Sorry if this is a daft question. There is also a Sigma 30mm f1.4 native emount lens (i.e. use without mc11). Do you know if that's the same lens you're testing here, and if so what difference the mc11 makes to the AF performance? Or have I got very confused!

[@SidneyDiongzon]

You're right, the Sigma 30mm 1.4 DC DN I used here is the native e-mount lens. The "DN" means it's a native Sony lens. The AF performance with the MC-11 adapters is good, but is slightly slower than the native Sony version. Hope this helps!

[@gislon1]

Thanks so much for speedy response! Wouls you say the IQ is similar? As far as I can tell the Sony mount version comes out higher in DxO mark.

+Narudh Areesorn Yeah, otherwise get the MC-11 adapter and get a Canon 35mm!

[@Will-ce1jr]

30mm!!

[@genuwine7]

Hey Sidney, how do you like the 35 art for stills on the mc11? How is af?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

I LOVE IT! That Sigma 35mm Art is one of the sharpest lenses I’ve ever owned!

[@djdonkeyslap]

Great video. Exactly what I was looking for.

[@Photography_dgl]

Does this work for a Sony a7iii?

[@cartercolosky4954]

do you need the adapter to use the 1.4 art?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Yes! The MC-11 works great, except that it’s really noisy

[@bbuildingmarch7060]

I would be hesitant to spend for instance 600 dollars on a crappy lens that doesnt produce sharp images, but i'd be extremely eager to pay 1400 dollars for a good lens that produces incredibly sharp images.

[@bigsaccs1701]

Thanks for the video... Which would you recommend for video (mainly music videos) that will compliment the 18-35mm??

[@SidneyDiongzon]

I think the 18-35 you already have is good enough!

[@bigsaccs1701]

Thanks... What about a prime?! Should I at least have one like say the Sigma 50mm?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Possibly. That or an 85mm

[@bigsaccs1701]

Sidney Diongzon thanks a lot for the help...

[@hellsignirving]

Man I’m so happy I got the 30mm

[@SidneyDiongzon]

It's amazing right???

[@hellsignirving]

Sidney Diongzon it is!

[@tecnolover2642]

why are you using a mc11 converter? the 35mm comes in e mount format!

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Because this was filmed over 2 years ago...

[@yesblad32]

which camera did you use for these tests?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

a6500

[@yesblad32]

@@SidneyDiongzon thanks Bro. I ended up buying the a7 III the day I asked lol. Dope vid

This video is very informative! Kudos to you! Since you have both lenses, do you think that even a lens that has OSS such 35mm combined with the a6500 (IBIS), it's still going to be shaky? No such big difference?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

+Nikolás Hasif Thanks! The OSS and IBIS is such a good combo to smooth your handheld shots! The IBIS is good enough by itself, but if you add the OSS from the lens, then it's even better!

Awesome! Thanks for the info :)

[@geeked_up]

Nikolás Hasif I have that combination , (sony a6500 and 35mm f1.8) and I still get some shake so I'm looking into getting a gimbal. Honestly I would have just gotten one of these lenses in the video if I would have known it wasn't gonna be that stable :/

[@thehabyfamily1000]

Hi i really likes your video. But why didnt you mention sony a6400 for the 30mm one. Is it bad lens for sony a6400?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

No IBIS

[@thehabyfamily1000]

Sidney Diongzon but if i have a good gimbal that wont be a much problem? Right Is it only the IBIS that made you not to mention a6400 for the 30mm sigma?

[@TrekCA]

Would the sigma 30mm be good for video use?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Yep! Most of my shots were with the Sigma 30mm because of the f/1.4!

[@Test-gd8vw]

how is better on AF VIDEO?

[@x64emulator]

Wow! What do you thing, can this sigma 30mm lens be used as a universal lens? :D Because i am about to buy a dslr with (temporarily) this lens.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

+Bikfitz Yeah I think so! Most of my films are shot with that lens!

[@x64emulator]

Thanks! :) This Sigma 30mm 1.4 is a pretty good deal imo. Keep up the good work mate! ;)

[@SidneyDiongzon]

+Bikfitz Yep! Thanks I appreciate the love and support!

[@GreenoSky]

Great video but...that Sigma 30mm 1.4 DC DN in Sony a6000 will be 48mm ? (30mm x 1.6 aps-c) ?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

+GreenoSky Yep! Exactly right

[@GreenoSky]

hmmm but a6300 is aps-c so ... when you test sony 35mm 1.8 OSS ( lens for aps-c sensor) and this lens. Sigma is wider like sony. Why ?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

+GreenoSky The Sigma is a 30mm. The Sony is a 35mm. So the Sigma will be 5mm wider.

[@GreenoSky]

But in a6000 will be 48mm, in a6300 30mm ? it is the same sensor ;)

[@SidneyDiongzon]

+GreenoSky The Sony a6000/a6300/a6500 are all APS-C cameras

How does this compare to the 32mm 1.8 zeiss touit?

No idea, haven't tried that lens specifically.

[@HendriSyamBali]

Thanks for your video, I love it

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Thank you so much!

[@JustMe-tu5en]

Nice and complete review. I like everything. You answered my questions before I asked! I predict that your channel will be on high rank soon. I just have one big question: which system is better, ASPC or 3/4 ? I have the a6000 and I'm thinking of selling it because I don't have good lenses 🙁

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Thanks! APS-C and Micro 4/3 both have their pros and cons. It just really depends on what kind of filmmaking you're going for!
