Cant wait to see your lens comparisons, especially with the sigma trio! Though keep in mind that you could buy the sigma trio + kit lens for lower price than just the 16-55 G lens

Arthur R but, f1.4 vs f2.8 in that range it’s a lot. I am sure the sigma trio stills gets better photos and the price is high. Yes it is easier to carry one lens but it is too much expensive I think.

Nice review Arthur. Thanks for uploading this in 4K.

[@lostinoc3528]

if you do a video comparing this to the sigma trio, try to include shots with the sigma at 1.4 vs this lens at 2.8 if possible. i think the sharpness and colors, etc, seem close enough to each other. so i wonder how much better the bokeh is on the sigma at 1.4. that would be helpful in choosing this lens vs the trio.

If I make the move over to Sony from Canon, this will probably be my setup. The Sigma trio is amazing, but there’s something empowering about not having to constantly swap lenses. If you want a small, VERY capable camera and lens setup... then this is it. Either the 6100/6400/6600 and this 2.8 G lens. If swapping lenses is fine with you and you need the moat light possible or crave the shallowest DOF, then go with the Trio bundle for a tad cheaper.

Hello. Can you please tell me what lens did you use for the first 15 minutes of this video, if I am not asking too much ? Thank you very much.

[@michalmason5490]

I have recently purchased this lense for about 1050 USD (down from 1200 USD) where I live. I gotta say it is super sharp and has amazing color reproduction. I'm shooting with A6400 with no IBIS. Even though neither the lens or the camera have stabilization you can get really sharp images above 1/80th shutter speed, hand held. I've been shooting before mainly with 18-105G F4 which is ok after post processing if you're not pixel peeping or zooming in 100% but Sony 16-55 G blows 18-105 G out of water. When Sony finally releases an APS-C camera that has decent IBIS the combo will be one helluva beast even for low light situation where shutter speed can go down to 1/10th sec. I don't think this lense will ever drop to 900 USD for the quality images it produces and I don't expect the competition to deliver a similar lens; Sigma has already released 16/30/56 F1.4 lenses therefore a zoom lens covering that range would kill the sales of these 3. My recommendation is if you see it on sale for about 1000 USD just grab it and wait till Sony releases a camera body with upgraded IBIS which must happen in the forseeable future.

I am awaiting for your comparison between the Sigma Trio and 18-105. When comparing, not only comparing side by side on the sharpness.(for sure sharpness is very important) I would like also like to know how much paying off when comparing their maximum range. For example, please also compare the maximum bokeh between the Sigma 56mm at F1.4, the star shooting/night scene between the Sigma 16mm at F1.4 . Similarly when comparing the 18-105 at their maximum Ampeture and focal length.

[@skulltrailRFL]

If this was a $600 or $800 lens, definitely would be worth to buy. But at $1400? That's too much, even though the performance of this lens is amazing. I'm looking forward to the sigma trio comparisons. *I hope that race with Hoovies, happens in the future :)

[@studiog2682]

Love the new “wandering reviewer” video style, the bits at dusk near the end especially. I just got this lens too. For sharpness and image quality it beats the pants off my 18-105 G. I think I can justify the hefty price of the new lens ($1,450 Canadian) partly because I didn’t get the Sigma 16 and 56 and I’m going to sell my 18-105. I figured after waiting 5 years for this lens I might as well get it. When I switched from Canon I hung on to my EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 with an adapter but the new Sony outperforms it by miles. Just one caveat: Sony cut some corners to bring us this lens. Its image is very, very distorted especially at the wide end, but you wouldn’t know if from the camera JPEGs. Bring a raw file into Adobe Camera Raw though and you’ll see some crazy distortion, including the edges of the image circle in the corners, since there is no profile for it yet. I found that applying the *kit lens* profile provides a temporary fix. I decided to save myself some time by creating the following preset, until Adobe updates their lens profiles: Lens Corrections -> Lens Profile: Sony E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS. I have “Remove Chromatic Aberration” unchecked because it makes very little difference. Lens Corrections -> Manual: Distortion: -2 You’ll want to adjust vignetting to taste, as it varies by focal length and aperture. I found this setup seems to work well enough through the entire zoom range.

Thank you! I didnt color grade though, this is straight out of the camera with no color profile!

[@romsku864]

@@ArthurR Wow! The colors on the Sony a6400 look so much better than on the a6000!

[@jstrndm945]

For my personal needs, money, and taste, and ego, i will choose to buy the sigma 56mm.

[@Thunderbird1337]

It's not an either or decision. You just need both :)

[@jameshoiby]

@@Thunderbird1337 I agree. I bought the Sony zoom, but the 56mm is next on my list for a low light lens!

[@krisz443]

Thanks... great video. I've been agonizing over which lens to get for my Sony 6400 and I think this is it after watching your video!

[@CaliwoodHills]

I must say your wife is freakin gorgeous 😍

[@Ronny_van_Gerwen]

Not just gorgeous, she seems a lot of fun. Very hard to piss her off

[@walkslow7509]

And she's a mom, wow, lucky man.

[@peterpich3630]

What camera are u using in this video? It looks crystal clear

[@PeterPing]

For this price range, not including OSS in this lens is the reason why I stopped buying Sony lenses and go for Sigma and Tamron counterparts instead.

[@shinilluits5784]

Thanks Arthur for the review! I'm looking forward to your comparison with the Sigma Trio

[@abymathew295]

I wish sigma launch its 18-55 f1.8 ,or 50-100 in E mount.

[@nightcoder5k]

I imagine a zoom f/1.8 would be much bigger.

[@abymathew295]

@@nightcoder5k ,its already out there for canon and Nikon..but not for Sony cameras..and its a big glass..

[@mathu_stans]

I almost forgot to tell you,God bless the work you do

[@Kai-P]

It looks super weird when you move outside with that extremely blurred background. Like a bad greenscreen in a studio. You could REALLY benefit from more DoF.

[@AK-qh4yy]

This was the review I was waiting for and I’m excited for the other ones 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@RageCage1701]

Yep. I want to hear from Ken Rockwell too but this is definitely one I was waiting for. Will also be interesting to see the comparison videos.

[@mrvincentpogi]

me: my kind of lens , im waiting for this my wallet: nope

[@arildhagen3820]

Always loved you tests, even though I now is all Full frame. The storytelling and documenting with real photos is thrustworthy. A shoutout to your wife as well, good spirit (as it seems) and with a natural beautiful smile. Keep up the posting of videos and tests. Welcome to Norway any day if you want to do some landscape shots, All the best

[@opi2802]

The lenght of the video is the name of the lens lol

[@oswaldofranco6590]

I logged into my account just to express my appreciation for this video. Truly made me confident in spending the chunk of $. Thank you, Arthur. Blessings

[@longboardluv2]

At 11:23 you said f1. 8 aperture

[@rreonarudo]

Well, people make mistakes sometimes

[@pawemedalski6871]

Is it possible to have this lens compared to Sony 18-105?
