LENS BATTLE! Sigma 16mm 1.4 DC DN vs Sigma 30mm 1.4 DC DN

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Which lens did you prefer? Sigma 16mm or Sigma 30mm?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

I think prefer the Sigma 30 a little more...maybe for sentimental reasons, lol

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Definitely the 16mm.. love it. Just did a comparison between it and the rokinon 12mm on my channel. I honestly don't think there's another e mount lens currently out that it can be compared with

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Yep!

[@kalpeshrawal5636]

I loved 30mm until 16mm came out. Own both and as you stated, both have their places in videography. I find 16mm more convenient most of the time for it being a wide angle lens. Big thumps up to you for the apt videos you have been creating. There are times I think how about Sidney creates a video about this and there you create a video about it. Thank you.

[@LisaMichele]

After doing a lot of research, I chose the 30mm, but after being so used to the 16-50 kit lens on the a6300, I think I may dip back into my wallet and pick up the 16mm. I'm just so used to that wide shot! I think the 30mm will be nice for shooting interviews and things like that. Unfortunately with photography equipment, there's so much trial and error to finding what you like, and every trial costs $$$! Thanks for this video, great work here!

[@Rickkwa]

I really appreciate the multitude of side-by-side comparison shots. Lots of videos out there are lacking this basic aspect.

[@trygvebutenschn4515]

I've been researching indecisivly which of these to buy for weeks, and this video just answered every single one of my questions. And not only did it help me decide that the 30mm 1.4 is the right choice, it did it straight to the point, very informatively and with great style. Overall an awesome video! I am subscribing for sure

Which one would you chose for short films

[@omsrswt]

Thanks for this! I am dead set on the 30mm now. I'll keep my kit lens for when I need a wider FOV but I much prefer the "normal" equivalence of about 45mm. Bee using a 50mm Canon FD and while I love it, it's too narrow on an APS-C and I sometimes miss AF.

hey did you get the answer? please help, this is my current question to

[@donrawson4459]

I am ready to purchase the 6500 but struggling with lens choices. I am not a pro and like to take family, holiday, travel photos. Looking at the kit lens for size and convenience, the Sigma 30mm for portraits and street photography. Trying to decide between the Sigma 19mm or the Sony 18-105. Longer lens would be nice, but is pricey and looks heavy. I l also like the Sigma 16mm but budget is tightening up. I am photo oriented, very little video. Thoughts about a starter lens set for travel and general family photos?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

I would try the Sigma 16mm. It's light, very sharp, and produces AMAZING photos. Hope this helps! And keep me updated!

[@clintjohnson2460]

Hi Don ... Just a little quick personal recommendation... Try finding a used 19 mm 2.8 sigma on eBay or something like that...it's not uncommon to find one coming in at $100 or even a little bit less... I got one in mint condition off of eBay for $101 shipped but I just seen locally on classified ads that there's one in this area for like $80. Money very well spent... good luck and enjoy that 6500 if you get it

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Great suggestion!

[@lilymetcalfe97]

Which do you recommend for travel videos? Is the 16mm too wide for the natural eye?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Sigma 30mm is a pretty good inbetween

Hi sidney can u make a comaparison between the sigma 16mm vs sony 10-18’mm

[@SidneyDiongzon]

It’s not even a comparison. The 10-18 is a much wider lens and perfect for vlogging. The 16mm is wide but not really meant for vlogging.

[@nathanielvirina7442]

[@dopfunk]

Why not get the 16mm and use clear image zoom (2x) for 4k videos to get that sweet 30mm without paying more? Are there any cons?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

You certainly can!

[@AngelusHD]

Yes, when you use clear image zoom your focus spot becomes 1 big square. That’s a pretty big con if you ask me.

[@Slicktune]

Sidney Diongzon lmaoo "you certainly can!" So chipper yet so condensending, how about letting them know that if you do clear image zoom to emulate a 30mm lens they will have horrible distortion, bad enough the 16mm already has barrel distortion, and then cropping it? Smh I've had to return 2 lens already watching your videos because barrel distortion is atrocious, yes u can correct it in photos but in video it isn't possible so I've returned the 35mm 1.8 Sony lens because it isn't sharp enough and I returned the 16mm because everyone's face gets distorted when getting close..smfh 😔 I'm about to buy the sigma 30mm 1.4 but not sure, not enough info on the lens but anyways "you certainly can!"🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@SidneyDiongzon]

LOL. You totally nailed me.

[@realestatemediapro]

^^^ Sidney Diongzon mad respect for dealing with people like this on the internet haha. Thank you for the time you put into your videos my man.

[@supercax13]

would the sigma 16mm f/1.4 be the best lens to take portraits, landscapes, cinematic, and vlogging from time to time basically a all around lens? or the sigma 30mm f/1.4?

16mm

I used the Sigma 30mm 1.4 :)

[@L0st-n0found]

What is your thoughts on sharpness. I bought both and have been disgusted with the sharpness of the 16mm taking photos and really of both. The 30mm is way more sharp taking say indoor photos of family 2-20 feet away at all equal settings. And neither is anywhere near as sharp as the standard kit lens on nikon d7500

[@highperformancebodywork3542]

Hi which one would you get for the a5100 camera? Does the size matter in terms of the a5100 being smaller

[@SidneyDiongzon]

I’d probably get the v2, but it also depends on the lens you get

[@mohsin_sait]

I need a 30mm lens as good as the Sigma 16mm. What if I get the 16mm and clear image zoom to 32mm? I'd have a more versatile 16-32mm f1.4 lens. Is that actually that simple in real world results?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Maybe. Sounds good in theory

[@tessaxelisexX]

You sold me! This is the exact comparison video I was looking for. I have the 16mm with my sony a6000 that I got for general overall photos but now with a second babe on the way I want something better for portraits and child shots! Thanks so much for this video and the explanations.

[@danishasifrana]

Hey Sydney, I'm gonna buy Sony a6500 and I'm so confused which lens to buy. My first choice was Sony 18-105, then I changed to 18-135 because it was cheaper. And now I really wanna buy the Sigma 30mm lens and now I'm so confused. I wanna go for vlogging and photography and videography. Please suggest me between Sony 18-135mm and 30mm Sigma. And I can work with both those lenses. The thing is that I'm a portrait photographer and I really like the bokeh of 30mm and I'm just so much attracted to it. Please suggest me

Would you say keep the sigma 18-35 and adapt it or sell and buy these 2 lenses to replace it? Is the extra half stop worth it? I am looking to switch from cannon to sony.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Depends if you want a lighter setup or not. The Sigma 18-35 is BY FAR better than these two lenses because it’s...well, an Art lens! The downside is that it’s a very heavy lens, and the upside is that is produces better image quality. Hope this helps you decide!

Do u think i can use sigma 16mm f1.4 mft with bmpcc4k? or 19mm, 30mm, 60mm f2.8 ? since bmpcc4k doesnt have auto focus, will i have any trouble on using these lenses? can I use munual focus on these? Thank you

Nice comparison but I have a question , I use manual focus and I've seen reviews stating the manual focus on the 30 is really bad bcus it's a fly by wire focus and as you said it just jumps around when you flick the focus ring , does the 16 manual focus acts he same way? Thanks

[@SidneyDiongzon]

The Sigma 16mm doesn't jump as much as the 30mm. It's not as smooth as an actual cinema lens, but it's one of the better APS-C e-mount lens that can achieve smooth rack focusing. In all, it's not perfect, but certainly better than the 30mm. Hope this helps!

@@seth_andal Hey Seth - sure, the Sigma is better in low light and imo the image 'clarity' is better - esp when it's on a tripod, and it's alos really nice for BW. It's also good for long exposure for night sky provided you're in a very dark place without a lot of competing ambient light. The 6400+16 is not a good choice if you're thinking anything on a gimbal - even with decaf it's still got blur though I have used it successfully on interiors on a very slow motor setting on my Ronin for 360's via the phone app for controlling from a distance, but slow is key as there can be a bit of rolling shutter. Typically if I'm carrying two, it's the 16 and the 17/70 - hope that helps!

For wide shots, then yes, this lens is amazing! They're both good lenses, so it depends if you do more closer shots or wider shots. #2. There is no Sigma 16mm 1.4 Canon mount.

But, I'm shooting in two styles: (1) sofa for talking to the camera, up against a wall (about 1-meter away from the camera lens); and (2) full-body demonstration videos (3-meters away). Which lens will do me better?

I think you are honestly top notch of all you tube channels! Thanks for providing your knowledge in guiding our photgraphy journey! I hereby call you the "Shaman" of all our photography woes! Thanks for healing mine LOL! Just bought my 16mm today.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Thank you sooooooo much!!!! Means a lot to me!!

[@darkmyst99994]

Appreciate you covering the comparison. I had asked on your first video you did on the 16mm how you felt about the MF. Thank you very much for the review. Also, keep up the amazing work. Love to see you crush 2018 and be up there with some of the big names.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Thanks Andrew! I hope this video was helpful to you!

Hi, Which lens has better resolution and sharpness in photography? 16mm 1.4 or 30mm1.4? SONY a6500 E

[@SidneyDiongzon]

The Sigma 16mm is a bit sharper than the 30mm.

[@SS-uu2fx]

Is it worth buying bundle with a6500 and 55-210 and 16-mm or should I just buy body with 16mm lens I'm just starting off and want to create video content and do some picture taking

[@SidneyDiongzon]

I would just buy the body and 16mm

[@mathieupsyche]

Hi Sidney thank you for this great comparison. I have a the Sony A6300 + Sigma 30mm, do you know how to fix flickering (strobe light) especially in low light conditions ? Thanks in advance. Regards, Mathieu.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Yeah, and there’s not much you can do because the flicker is caused by the light itself (it’s a type of electric currency for low energy lights). You can try to change the shutter speed, but it’s hard to fix

[@mathieupsyche]

Sidney Diongzon I will try to change the shutter. Thans for the quick answer

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Hope it works for you!

[@MrBurguercito5]

Hi, I own the two kit lenses 16 and 55 mm... and I want to purchase one of the sigma options, mostly because of the aperture. Between the 16mm and the 30 mm wich one do you recommend... I shoot portraits and some landspaces, but mostly portraits. And I film piano concerts and music videos in small rooms.

[@biancah3844]

Thank you Sidney for this video! Very helpful! I'm now planning to get the 16mm f1.4 lens. I'm so excited!

[@SidneyDiongzon]

NICE!! It's a great lens!!

[@discipledesigned]

Should I get both of these or just the 18-35???

[@chelseavergara4970]

Which is better for travel photography on an a6000? :)

[@espaconui2785]

i m thinking about take both to make my set. Is a good choise? I work with dive equipments and i m planning to make reviews and take some depoiments like a pro. Thank u for all the tips, your channel is amazing.

[@ashifdx6328]

I already have the 16-70 f4! Should i get the the 16 1.4? Or the 30 1.4?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Get the Sigma 30mm! You already have the 16-70mm!

[@QueenSit]

Thanks! I'm going with the 16mm

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Awesome!

[@pateachongthu]

What is the equivalent focal length of 16mm on A6000? Multiple by 1.6? = 25.6mm?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

The Sony a6000 has a 1.5x crop factor, so it would be 24mm.

[@MckenzieReive]

Just picked up my a6500 body and ended up pairing it with the new sigma 16mm 1.4! Waiting for the rest of my rig to be delivered but really loving the a6500 content on KZbin, that being said thank you for all of your uploads. Although I'm new to you're channel it's very clear you love your a6500's, so I decided to sub! Even though you got you're a7r iii beauty I hope you continue with both. Happy new year!

[@SidneyDiongzon]

I'm so stoked for you! You'll love that combo! And yes, I'll be using both cameras throughout the year!

[@MIMCKMedia]

Why compere different focal length? Sigma 16mm vs. Samyang 12mm would be a good comparison.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Because it’s a comparison between Sigma e-mount lenses

[@ES300h]

Keep up the great work Sidney! I love your work man.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Thanks so much Karan!

[@abdielcancel68]

Great video. I have (base on your recommendation) and love the 30mm. Can’t wait to add the 16mm to the arsenal.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Thanks so much for watching!
