Sigma Art 30mm f1.4 Lens Review

[@David_from86]

This and the R7 video combo are just what I’ve been looking for! I enjoy motorsport and wildlife photography and use a 77D with a Canon 100-400 L Mk 2. I’ve been looking at the Sigma 30mm as I find my Canon 50mm 1.8 too tight when photographing family around the house. I was looking at the R7 and Sigma 30mm combo as an alternative to full frame as the R7 will suit my motorsport and wildlife perfectly! 👍🏼

[@ScooterMediaVideos]

Yes, the R7 with the Sigma 30mm makes a nice combo, I have shot a few different things with it. 👍

[@anf355]

great video, this lens is fantastic on the R7, eye autofocus is spot on. Just a troubleshooting solution worth noting if it arises, mine was working great for a few weeks, then at some point I experienced this weird white ring in all my images and viewfinder, took me bit to find out that somehow the lens abberation correction somehow got toggled within camera settings. I switched it off and now its good again.

[@ScooterMediaVideos]

Thank you, and thanks for the troubleshooting solution, should it arise.

He presented the lens in a short, clear, detailed and objective way! Thank you

[@ScooterMediaVideos]

Thank you, I appreciate the comment! 👍

[@imac3355]

The sigma 50-100 f1.8 is exceptional and the perfect partner for the 18-35.

[@ScooterMediaVideos]

Yes, I really need tonget my hands onbone of those. 👍

Scott! Great video! Very helpful as I start to dip my toe into the photography world. Liked & subscribed!

[@ScooterMediaVideos]

Thanks Ricardo, I appreciate it!!! 👍

This lens did work on my EOS RP in full frame mode, it covered the full frame sensor with significant vetting (I was impressed), however when I updated the firmware, it deflated to typical crop mode for APSC sensors on full frame cameras. I was very disappointed to have upgraded the firmware, I cant reverse it. I now use it with a speed booster on my EOS M200 as a web cam. I don't have EOS-R speed booster, but would love to know if this works on the ROS-R APSC cameras with a speed booster or Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R 0.71x.

[@ScooterMediaVideos]

I don’t own any type of speedboosters but this lens works fine on my full-frame R6 as well as the R7 with just the regular EF to R adapter.

[@chancetalkscameras]

Good stuff! I love my 30mm, I've had it since 2018 and it's still my go-to lens for when I shoot with my a6k.

[@ScooterMediaVideos]

Yes, it's a great little lens and I still use mine as well! 👍

[@Pax604]

Thanks for the video. Just want to add that i have been using this lens on my full frame FP, full sensor with some vignette. Pretty stellar deal for a near 28mmf1.4 Art lens!

[@ScooterMediaVideos]

You’re welcome! That’s cool that it works well enough on your full-frame FP to be usable. 👍

[@akouetejulesangelotbossou-6795]

Great video but i have one more question i get the canon r7 the same sigma lense 30 mm 1.4 and also the canon adpter but the lense doesnt fit in the adapter. how do you mount yours ?

[@ScooterMediaVideos]

Thank you! When mounting the lens to the adapter you want to line up the white dot on the lens with the red dot on the adapter and it will work.

[@aminemohammedremmache2360]

thanks for the great video, i've found a used one for about 200€ XDD but in excellent state, so thanks to you i could've decide to go for it or not, the photos looks amazing with this lens

[@ScooterMediaVideos]

You're welcome! That's great to hear that you found one at a good price and are happy with it! 👍

[@SomeSloan]

Great review and exactly what I was looking for. I am definitely gonna grab this as my first lens, for my first camera- the Canon 77D. Any suggestions for lens hoods?

[@ScooterMediaVideos]

Thank you! The Sigma Art 30mm f1.4 comes with a lens hood.

[@SomeSloan]

@@ScooterMediaVideos Oh that's awesome! Thanks for letting me know 👊🏽

[@kipsus]

I shot the non art version of this lens for like 6 years almost exclusively on my trusty 40D. Might get one again since 18-35 is just too heavy on R7 (did not appear that way on 77D though, must be due to overall length)

[@ScooterMediaVideos]

The 18-35 is a heavy lens and then when you add on the adapter it does become a little front heavy...I still love the image it produces though!

[@kipsus]

@@ScooterMediaVideos I envy you for having access to these 30mm lenses second hand. Here in EU I didn't find any. By the way, you mentioned looking into another art lens, which is it?

[@ScooterMediaVideos]

@@kipsus I am not sure yet, I am looking for a full-frame lens probably either the 24-70 f2.8, 24-35 f2 or the 24mm f1.4 prime lens.

[@EvanMcCabe-z2i]

Would this lens work well with a Nikon d3300?

[@anne-mariedesmarais9649]

Hi! Great review! I'm looking for a lens like that for my canon 6D mark II but every site I look, its says it works on 7D and other Ef mount, do you know if it's compatible with mine? Thanks for your help!

[@ScooterMediaVideos]

Hello, and thank you! Your 6D Mark II is a full-frame camera so you would want to buy the full-frame equivalent to this lens which would be something like the Sigma 35mm f1.4 for EF mount. This lens is meant for APS-C size sensors.

[@PinkSpeares]

would this lens be good for my m50 I could pick it up for 189€ and since the 18-35 is hard to find I´m looking for another lens

[@ScooterMediaVideos]

This lens would be good for the M50 but you would need an adapter to go from EF mount to EF-M mount.

[@PinkSpeares]

Yeah got the adapter but my only worry is that 18-35 will get cheaper @@ScooterMediaVideos

[@ScooterMediaVideos]

@@PinkSpeares I own both lenses and I definitely use the 18-35 way more than the 30mm

[@peteru3357]

Is the AF and eye focus working with r10?

[@ScooterMediaVideos]

It works with my R6 and R7 so it should work fine with the R10.

[@peteru3357]

Thanks i will look for it in market place

[@AndreasOG]

Great video! Thank u so much :)!

[@ScooterMediaVideos]

Thank you for the kind comment!!!

[@EvanMcCabe-z2i]

Would this lens work well with a Nikon d3300?

[@ScooterMediaVideos]

Yes, this lens would work well with the Nikon d3300...just make sure you get the Nikon version of the lens! 👍
