Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN Review ft. Sony A6500 - Very Impressive Wide Angle Lens for E-mount

[@TheHybridShooter]

I hope that you guys like my "Christmas special", merry Xmas / happy holidays to everyone! Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN - amzn.to/2zjwXgr Sony A6500 - amzn.to/2kIEWzp

[@StuartParker]

Great video! In the "vlog" sequence, how far away are you holding the camera? Is your arm fully extended? Are you holding it by the lens?

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you, I had it mounted on Joby GorillaPod SLR Zoom amzn.to/2BFL95l and I was holding it with extended arm.

[@rubenmishchuk9361]

The Hybrid Shooter hey man I saw your ad on Craigslist is that you if so let me knwo

[@TheHybridShooter]

No, that is not me.

[@williamsli3745]

Sir, can this Lens work with Sony Nex-7 or Nex-5 camera?

[@jerrycjy8913]

This is exactly my dream vlog setup ever...

[@stuartfit]

When the Sigma's 30mm F1.4 was launched, it bashed not only Sony's native prime, it even outscored the zeiss in dxomark. You might find that this Sigma's 16mm F1.4 and the 56mm F1.4 are not fully reviewed since then in the dxomark website. Well it's only logical that other lens manufacturers would prefer not to have these Sigma's lenses publicized further, at least they can still sell whatever they have got to offer. Sigma has got the Sony's APS-C E mount lens range covered with sharpness, fast aperture and affordability so it also makes sense that Sony is not going head on against Sigma in this category unless they provide similar quality within similar price points.

[@coin777]

0:24 The background is very sharp here

[@animeshbiswas7314]

Sony is not releasing any good apsc lenses... So thank god sigma exists

[@TheHybridShooter]

Exactly, I have made full video about that, but it makes senses from Sony's perspective, Sigma's newest DN lenses are optically so good and fast that it can be a threat for their Full Frame line.

[@TravelMinds]

But Sigma dont have stabilization! To bad for a6000 and a6300

[@rembrandao]

@@TravelMinds for photo it's not a problem. For video use a gimbal.

[@Wckd79]

Your reviews have convinced me to buy this lens. I am just getting started into more serious photography and have been browsing many channels. Your presentation and direct style are among the best.

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you, you definitively won't be disappointed by this lens.

[@shlamhabor]

can you show us which colorprofil and settings you use at 7:02 ?

[@TheHybridShooter]

It is shot at F1.4 in aperture priority, other settings are explained in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2SvYXyInqaqfK8

[@Jeelyaqraa]

Awesome . Thanks for the video . Do you use nd filter?

[@TheHybridShooter]

You're welcome, yes, I use ND filters.

[@JoseGarcia-ed9lj]

Does this convert to 24mm in a Sony a6000?

[@TechLineHD]

Just watched your review again. Need to buy the wide aperture lens for my Sony A6300 with great auto-focus for a-roll and gimbal footage.

[@TheHybridShooter]

This one is definitely the best one for that and also the only wide-aperture, wide-angle AF lens.

[@TechLineHD]

Thanks! Also wrote you an email :D

[@newe5533]

TechLine can you tell me please Sony A6500 its not time for video or have time i want go buy with no time for video i want to know for this sony this sony is unlimited time or not

[@pauloancarvalho]

Can you get hands on a MFT version for review?

[@TheHybridShooter]

I unfortunately can't, I only have E-mount version, sorry about that.

[@Al.j.Vasquez]

This lens came to add life to the EF-M mount as well, it's the only M series native lens that i own.

[@NewsMoto]

Excellent review! Especially the vlogging sample!

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you!

[@MichaelTapel]

I own this lens and I only wished it was a bit wider, it's a good landscape lens but far from perfect, also unless shooting landscape exclusively, the kit lens is much more versatile on most situations (portraits, street and landscape all together), the slightly sharpness you'll get with this lens is not worth the changing, I bought it because I love landscape shooting, so for me the two biggest disadvantages of this lens are that it is a fixed focal length and not wide enough, if it was 12mm for example I'd use it more.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Excellent, thorough review. Much appreciated!

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you!

[@Tech1Tv]

Hey do you read your reviews while making the videos and will this lens work on Canon 77D

[@TheHybridShooter]

Yes, I do read the text, this lens unfortunately won't work on Canon DLSR, it is for mirrorless only.

[@bart2623]

the hybrid shooter . why you did not buy Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN | C - Micro FourThirds mount for panasonic? I cosnider buy this lens to my g80 or panasonic 15mm 1.7 . Can you tell me wchich one you prefer?

[@TheHybridShooter]

Because it provides completely different field of view on MFT camera and I didn't need 32mm full frame equivalent MFT lens. For G80 I would prefer 15mm F1.7 because it is smaller and native Panasonic lens.

[@HardGrader]

In a comment above, you say that the G80/G85 sensor "can't even utilize all of the glass" on the Sigma. Does it use all of the glass on the Panasonic 15mm 1.7?

[@TheHybridShooter]

Yes, Panasonic lenses are made specifically for MFT cameras.

[@secada417]

Great review! I am going to get my own sigma 16mm f1.4. Could you share your a6500 settings for photography? especially for landscape shooting. thanks!

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you, there is not much to it, I shoot RAW in Aperture priority, at the sharpest point of the lens and let the camera figure out the rest (unless I want blurred background or shoot in low light).

[@AwesomeKicks]

I finally got this lens and I'm super excited to use it, but the rubber focus ring is slightly misaligned on my example. I'm maybe really picky but the rubber isn't perfectly set. Seems like it's slightly twisted. Is your like that as well? It's hard to judge by video. Is it common or should I change mine? I might be super picky.

[@TheHybridShooter]

I have no such problems with mine, it depend on you whether you want to change it. I probably would change it.

[@lurmel7542]

I wonder: Sigma 16mm F1.4 vs Sel24F18z? I have an A6500 and Sel35F1.8. Great setup but I'd like to add a more wide angle lense. Fast and quiet Autofocus for video and a very good IQ and sharpness are most important to me.

[@TheHybridShooter]

I would say Sigma 16mm F1.4. 24mm is quite old lens, the AF is not that great on it.

[@molohov3875]

I have all 3 lenses. 24mm's AF is good after the firmware upgrade to 0.2, which gives it AF-C capabilities. The SEL24F18Z has also has an indescribable color rendition which is apparently common to Zeiss lenses. It also provides the extremely versatile 35mm equivalent which is hard to find on sony aps-c. 16mm is very usable all around but the one thing I don't like about it is the distortion which is a byproduct of this angle of view. I find myself using the 24mm more depending on the occasion, which seems to be indoor/portraits/walkaround. 16mm would be perfect for outdoors and those dramatic sweeping shots that you can achieve with this angle of view. 35mm of course is very versatile as it is the 52.5mm equivalent. However, I find that my 24mm and 16mm are both much sharper than my 35mm.

[@deepakrajekka9569]

Does this lens Sigma 16mm f1.4 need MC11 mount converter.....!!!!! And does Sigma 17-70mm f2.8 also need MC11 Mount converter to mount on Sony alpha 6400????

[@TheHybridShooter]

no, only 17-70 needs mc-11

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Thanks for this video. I am currently waiting for my a6500 and this lens to ship to me. Very excited for this combination.

[@blondeman28]

Hey what do u think of the result when shooting portraits with this lens?

[@TheHybridShooter]

It is a wide-angle lens, probably not the most suitable one for portraits, but if you want that field of view, image quality is excellent.

[@geriscorner]

First of all, GREAT content, I loved your work and decided to purchase the lens thanks to you ! Other than that , I'm obsessed with your watch (5:59) ! Where did you get it ? Please let me know the brand haha , really awesome !

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you, it is made by Slovak company Biatec (Swiss parts) you can get it here: bit.ly/2Cf4iiD

[@geriscorner]

awesome thank you very much! I'm looking forward to the next video, great channel !

[@AndrewTimosca]

I got this lens recently. I really like it and like the look. I don't think it focuses as fast as my sony 10-18 though.

[@clarification007]

Excellent report! Bravo! (I will passe it on...) I have the Sigma 30mm f1.4 and the manual focus is not plaisant to manipulate at all mainly if you do video and want to use the manual close to the camera up to infinity, slowly. Did you notice a difference?

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you, I appreciate it, yes, there is a big difference, this is one of the best focus-by-wire lenses for manual focusing that I have ever tested, both resistance and travel distance are very good IMO.

[@clarification007]

Thanks! You are the only one who answer nicely to my question with facts.

[@MarkoKoskenoja]

Your reviews are excellent. How do you think the M43 version would work on the Panasonic G85?

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you, on MFT it is 32mm FF eqv. so not particularly wide and the sensor can't even utilize all of the glass, this lens is more impressive on APS-C than on MFT in my opinion, but you will still get that sharpness and optical quality. That expensive Leica 12mm F1.4 is unfortunately the only 24mm FF equivalent alternative.

[@nordfresse]

Are you shure that this Leica lens was designed by Sigma? Does it mean that Leica is down to just selling their name nowadays?

[@TheHybridShooter]

Yes, I am, there is a Sgima patent published as a proof of that. Leica is indeed selling their name, those lenses are made Panasonic or other companies and basically just "Leica certified".

[@nordfresse]

Oh and I also like your videos, but I have just one little issue... Your english is really good, and I dont mind your little accent at all (not a native speaker myself). But maybe you could consider using the article with your nouns. That would make me so happy;) And its not even hard to do, since its always the same one. I am German, we use three different articles based on no logic at all. Thanks and Merry Christmas.

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you, but I'm afraid that this is the best that I can do at the moment. Mary Christmas to you as well.

[@SirTubeALotMore]

Was the in body stabilisation activated when the camera was pointed at you? It looked rather shaky ...?

Feel free to point me towards another resource. This is totally new to me, the lens compensation/correction stuff. Thanks! Also, great review.

Hi, quick question. I mostly shoot video, so my question is can you fix some of the distortion with Adobe or FCPX or do I have to rely on the settings in the camera. Finally, what's your first name if you don't mind me asking. Great review by the way 🙏🏽

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you, yes you can fix the distortion in Premiere Pro or other editing software, but there si no need to do that, footage out of the camera is distortion free if you leave lens compensation ON in the camera. My first name is William.

[@muatazmohamed2814]

so i wonder if sigma 18-35 f1.8 is most wider in 18mm or this sigma 16mm becouse i wont a fast wide lens and after alot of research i find thus are my better choise

How to turn on the in camera lens correction for this lens? I own a6500 and sigma 16mm but there's no distortion correction at all. Thank you!

Glad this question was asked! Same setup and mine was not as "quick" to AF. Was using AF-Wide setting with AF Drive set to "Normal", but didn't know (or notice) the Sensitivity setting and changed it to "Responsive". Thank you again!

[@giovannigio6217]

would you go for the Sigma 16 mm F1.4 or the sony SEL-35F18 35mm f1.8? I am concerned that the sigma 16mm doesn't have OSS and my camera has no in body stabilization, while the sony 35mm f1.8 should be good for low light while having OSS

[@TheHybridShooter]

Depends on which focal length you need, those are not directly comparable lenses.

[@giovannigio6217]

@@TheHybridShooter 35 mm should be enough. so what I can't decide how f1.8 and f1.4 compare each other at late evening. I almost never shoot night videos, just pictures so I can forgive sigma for not having OSS eventually.

[@simonc8265]

Hey matey, as ever a very hands on review. Thankyou. Do you thing sigma 16mm mft would be a good match for Panasonic g9 for outdoors work? I know the focal length may not be quite right but weather sealing 1.4 and quality make it sound like a match plus I wonder how the hi red would work.

[@TheHybridShooter]

It will be a good match, although I would prefer Leica 15mm F1.7 due to its size and DFD technology which is kind of big deal with G9.

[@simonc8265]

Yes you're right. Thankyou for replying. I guess I'm not too concerned with Dfd (yet). More wondering if there is a difference in image quality and your thoughts on the extra stop. I agree with size of lens part if for street/events but I'm thinking mainly outdoors. Keen to reduce noise. Get the best out of hires and have landscapes focus stacked. Its sound like both lenses impressed you but the sigma had an extra something? Just wondering if that translates over to mft.

[@TheHybridShooter]

I unfortunately haven't tested the Sigma 16mm on the G9 so I can't directly compare the image quality, but it needs to be stopped down for maximal sharpness, the difference in the aperture wouldn't be deicing factor for me personally. The high-res physically moves the sensor, so it actually does't require more lens sharpness than normal shooting.

[@BreathFilms1]

Great review. I have a6500. What can you recommend lenses? I prefer shooting a wedding and there is a lot of reportage video in low light. I have the following 3 options: 1) this sigma 16 f1.4 + sony 50 f1.8 oss; 2) sigma 18-35 f1.8 + mc-11; 3) sony 18-105 f4 + sigma 30 f1.4 dc. Thanks for any advice)

[@TheHybridShooter]

I'm not sure if any of those combinations will cover all of the needs for wedding shooting, Sigma 18-35, MC-11 and 50mm F1.8 OSS could be sufficient selection.

it has no stabilization, right? is the A6500 stabilization enough when walking and shooting?

No this lens is not stabilized, the IBIS iin A6500 is good enough for holding the cameras still, but for walking you might want to use gimbal.

[@ong2547]

Should i use this with sony qx1 and a6300

[@TheHybridShooter]

Hi, i really appreciate if u could help me to decide which wide angle lens should i get for my g85, my current picks are this sigma lens and pana lumix 15mm f1.7, do u have any idea on this lens? Thanks!

[@TheHybridShooter]

I would go with 15mm F1.7 for Panasonic. it is smaller, and autofocus will be better on Panasonic because of DFD. Micro Four Thirds cameras can't even use all of the glass in Sigma 16mm F1.4 because of crop factor.

[@_louisetee_]

[@sebastiento9695]

[@WhiteWulfe]

Given how much you like it I wonder what it would be like on a G85... Using the micro four thirds mount naturally ^_^

[@TheHybridShooter]

It would be a completely different lens on MFT, because of the crop factor, the sharpness would still be there of course, but MTF sensor cannot utilize all of the glass, that I would still have to carry arround, it would be 32mm F2.8 full frame equivalent on MFT, I would probably prefer 15mm F1.7 Leica for MFT.

[@nomadicwheels5483]

Thanks once again! Would you say this is the ideal travel lens for A6XXX? Just wide enough for landscape/architecture/vlog and with the clear image zoom making it an 48mm FF for more portrait and street. What is your opinion on clear image zoom? Maybe a topic for an indepth video as I haven't seen any good ones. All the best and wishes!

[@TheHybridShooter]

It is an excellent lens for landscape or architecture shooting and for vloging as well, but will probably want to have something with longer focal length as well for travelling, clearimage zoom only works in video, it crops the sensor while still outputting 4K video. Sigma 16mm F1.4 and Sony 35mm F1.8 OSS could be very good combination for travelling.

[@1234filmsgr]

The Hybrid Shooter I was wondering the same, if this lens could save me from buying the Sigma 30mm/ Sony 35mm just using the clear zoom function, I bet it would be almost OK if you are shooting 4k and downscaling to 1080, any test videos with this feature are more than welcome.

[@TheHybridShooter]

Clear image zoom is definitely not a substitute for lens with focal length twice as long, it is just croping sensor in video, it works well, but in low light the quality decreases and there is also less detail because it uses less downscaling.

[@nathanvallee2142]

All the Zeiss Batis Lenses for E-Mount are weather sealed as far as I know.
