That’s the review I was looking for. Thanks so much.

[@soguhong11]

Thanks for the in-depth review! I totally agree with you!

[@mojojoedwards]

Watched this to get my 6400, now watching this again to get the 35mm lens 💸💸💸

[@MountMediaChannel]

😀 you will not regret it

[@paganmin1214]

why you prefer to sony 35mm to sigma 30mm ?

[@MountMediaChannel]

@@paganmin1214 The main reason is the OSS. I mainly shoot handheld and the OSS helps a lot. Should you own the KIT Lens, try to deactivate the stabilization and shoot some footage. Then you could find out if you can live without OSS. But both are great lenses!

[@GoGiamToc97]

Your sharing is very sincere. Thanks for those.

[@zachary7552]

Wonderful video. Perhaps the best lens review I've ever seen. Informative explanations and hypnotizing visuals. Great work! My Sony 35mm will be here in a couple days! :)

[@MountMediaChannel]

Thx mate and cheers from Italy!

[@GallaghersGrub]

I agree. I love the Sony 35mm on my a5100. OSS is more important to me than being a hair sharper with Sigma. This and the 18-135 are my most used lenses.

[@dbocsan]

For my a5100 i have the kit lens and SELP 18-200, the next one will be 35mm 1.8

[@BICIeCOMPUTERconGabriele]

I'm reading and viewing reviews to learn what could be the most useful lenses for my new Sony camera (I'm new to photograpy, and this is my first proper camera with changable lenses). It seems that the combo you just mentioned is really the best and most useful.

[@Tennisfiles]

Fantastic video, thanks for the review of this lens. Cheers! :)

[@MountMediaChannel]

Thx mate!

[@lucasbellolucasbello]

I really enjoy how this video feels like a documentary.

[@awekh]

The OSS very helping for my a5100

[@mateuszogrodniczuk21]

Nice review. I would like to see how this lens manage with totally dark space. I mean for example stars by night. Thanks

[@bennielaars]

I agree, this is a great lens. Unfortunately a bit too narrow for indoor usage but otherwise very good and 1.8 with OSS is better than 1.4 without

[@trym2121]

There's no affordable 23mm for indoor. There's zeiss one but I'd rather buy sigma 16mm instead, more unique and wideeeeeeee. I'll wait for viltrox 23mm 1.4 and see the review before getting it

[@sashachilly]

Thanks, mate!

[@YARIUS]

I will buy this lens for my Sony a6300 (for shooting video). At first I wanted to buy a Sony 18-105, but it differs little from the Sony 16-50 (I already have one).

[@GaryDeetz]

Well done!

[@ianshelby9250]

Love your review

[@MountMediaChannel]

Thx John

[@RockWILK]

I've been using this with my a6400, and it's an awesome combination! And when I throw them on a Crane M2 gimbal, it's another level of awesomeness. Great storytelling setup. My favorite lens, for sure, I love the roughly 50mm look for a variety of situations. Looks like real life to me. I am also using the 16-50 kit lens, and can get great shots with it. I feel like that lens is taken for granted as a "throwaway" lens, but if you throw an ND filter on it, and get your settings right, it's got great character. At least to me. ;) In any case.... Great video, as always, thank you.

[@MountMediaChannel]

Thx mate, and yes - it's a great lens!

[@desirewithinus]

I am torn between getting the a6400 or the Canon m6ii. I think this lens made the decision for me.

[@RockWILK]

@@desirewithinus I think the a6400 is a better choice because you have so much more great glass to choose from. As long as you can figure out how to stabilize it, it’s really an incredible camera. Especially if you get a handle on all the picture profiles. Really special.

[@desirewithinus]

@@RockWILK Thanks. My main purpose will be taking photos, especially my kid + some general purpose. Taking it out whenever I'm with my family. So I needed something compact and light weight. Carrying a 1.3kg dslr all day is no fun 😑.

[@RockWILK]

@@desirewithinus The a6400 is really small and so light. I mainly have either my Sony 35mm f1.8 OSS on it or my Zeiss Batis 25mm f2, Which is a little bit heavier and bigger, but still pretty small. Both incredible lenses, and the whole set up is really easy to carry around with you all the time. The Zeiss is not stabilized though, but it’s an amazing lens. And if you really wanna go small, just use the kit lens, people say disparaging things about it, but trust me, you can get great footage from that little lens. And it’s stabilized, and it’s got a pretty decent range, and once you get all your settings together in the camera, you can do great work with that lens. Best of luck with all of it, I’m sure no matter which camera you choose, you’re going to be very happy.

[@DawoodMurad]

amazing review

[@MountMediaChannel]

Thx mate!

[@chasingdreams9378]

ty so much for the video... answered all my questions :D... how far from the camera u need to be inorder to obtain the blurred effect?

[@MountMediaChannel]

You mesn a blurred background? This effect will increase if you get closer to your subject.

[@fcbvipnvh]

Fatasic video. Thanks. ❤

[@ChristianConcha]

Hi, nice video!, i really enjoyed, i was wondering, as you have much more experience with this lense (i just got it) what you think are the sweet points? I've read f/2.8 . f/5.6 and f/11, could you share your experience? thank you

[@MountMediaChannel]

Hi, since I shoot video most of the time and therefore the absolute sharpness is not as important, I use it mostly at 2.0 or even at 1.8 to get the most cinematic image. But of course it will be sharper at 2.8.

[@lostee2001]

thank you

[@user-ur6xy6wn8b]

Nice video! Good job! Bro, i have a6400 and sony 35mm 1.8 oss. But I have a bad quality of the video, I’ve already bought a camera completely, I shoot in full hd 30fps 1/60 shutter speed and no sharpness, in what settings did you shoot this video?

[@MountMediaChannel]

In 4K/25 - Cine4 - Detail -5

[@ianshelby9250]

Same here i dont shoot photographs not for living.. i just want to take photos of moments

[@YuliantoNugroho89]

Grazie, nice review amico. i must visit sud tyrol soon :D

[@escaton74]

thanks, I think I'll have a go at this lens. so OSS can be turned off just with a swtch or how does it work ?

[@MountMediaChannel]

No, only using the menu

[@conraddevera]

What a beautiful place

[@sadeqsegaraga8766]

You said that image sharpness is not a decisive factor in filmaking. Can you elaborate why?

[@Mr.Musky69]

I love mine. I use that and the Sony 70-300.

[@MountMediaChannel]

Yes, it's a great lens

[@Populerzone]

i agree

[@JuJuForREAL]

This man is so freaking EPIC. Low key creepy. But ultimately epppppiiiiiccc

Haha, yeah he is weird but epic

[@Bri11ante]

Your perception of creepy can be someone else's normal and your normal can be someone else's creepy. It all depends where your mind is at

[@WillChernoff]

How far away is the camera from you at 6:45?

[@faisalyum]

what mic clip on do you use sir?

[@MountMediaChannel]

An cheap one by Tonor

[@ThyagoVideomaker]

a6500 with Sigma 30mm 1.4 or a6400 with Sony 35mm OSS ? What would be the best combo to get image stabilization plus Autofocus?

[@MountMediaChannel]

IMO A6400 + Sony 35 - better autofocus and OSS is probably better than IBIS - but just my opinion since I didn't make a comparison

[@vally6853]

Picked this over sigma because of the oss

[@Collin2377]

Would you recommend OVERALL the Sigma 56mm 1.4 or the Sony 35mm f1.8 for the Sony A6500 ? Thank you.

[@MountMediaChannel]

The Sony 35 1.8 - much better allrounder. The Sigma is great for Portraits tough

[@conraddevera]

Hi, I'm new to this. Can 35mm be usable indoors? And by that I meant places where space is a bit limited (like a house)

[@MountMediaChannel]

Yes, of course but it depends for what you need the lens. If you want to capture the whole space it might not be the right lens. But for portraits for example it works fine.

[@mordavian]

I want to buy this lens but some say that it is not enough sharp to take photos. I will use it on gimbal. At 1:53 i noticed that video is extremely sharp. Did you apply any sharpen filter in the post? Do you think FE 35 mm F1.8 would be better than this when using on A6400 for videography?

[@MountMediaChannel]

You mean the full frame lens? For me this lens is easily sharp enough - also for photos. I didn't apply any additional sharpness in post.

[@mordavian]

@@MountMediaChannel yes FE version can also be used in apsc cameras. More expensive than E version and bokeh quality is better.

[@alwade6993]

Thanks bro. I just grabbed the a6600 and you sold me on this thing. Sony should reimburse you haha

[@TgifchurchCoUk]

On a tripod and live streaming, which one is the best?

[@MountMediaChannel]

It always depends on which focal length you need. The talking head parts of all my videos are taken on this lens. The Sigma 30 1.4 would also be a good choice.

[@debanjanhalder9582]

Sir which lens is best for bokeh in cinematography in a6400 16mm vs 35mm? Pls tell.. It's my dream.. so which lens to buy? Sigma 16mm vs 35mm sony.

[@MountMediaChannel]

The 35 will give you more bokeh because of the focal length but it really depends on what you want to shoot. The 16mm is the better choice for travel or landscape, the 35 works better for people, especially close ups.

[@debanjanhalder9582]

@@MountMediaChannel thank you sir...lots of love from India....and from me. So to shoot film 35mm is best ok.

[@emont]

is it good to for astrophotograghy? let say Auroras

[@MountMediaChannel]

Yes, but a wider lens would be more suitable

[@DEXTVHD]

Just got an a6400 and because of you just got the 35mm lol

[@MountMediaChannel]

Great choice

[@mishyq808]

I have the same kit lol 👍

[@johnsteeves9570]

Garrulous stay to the point

[@kungfukonni5409]

is it a full frame lens, or made for apsc?

[@MountMediaChannel]

APS-C

[@gyulakiss420]

Helo! This lens = Full frame ~50mm?

[@MountMediaChannel]

Yes

[@NickL0VIN]

Yes, equivalent to 52.5mm

[@azerothgaul334]

Is this lens good for portrait video ?

[@MountMediaChannel]

Yes, absolutely

[@YARIUS]

Or is it better to buy Sony 28mm 2.0?

[@MountMediaChannel]

IMO if you shoot a lot handheld, the 35 is the better choice because of the OSS. But depends on your needs

[@YARIUS]

@@MountMediaChannel As a result, I bought Sony 18-105) Lens for reporting. But for art videos I would take 35 1.8

[@frankfeng2701]

One lens: 18-135 Two lenses: 18-135, 30 1.4 Three lenses: 18-135, 30 1.4, 16 1.4 Four lenses: 18-135, 30 1.4, 16 1.4, 56 1.4 Hail Sigma.

[@RustyM74]

awesome my thinking exactly, im currently at 18-135, 16 1.4; 30 next :)

[@eumikayoung6863]

[@DRANDULETOS]

Ich gab 1000. wie...))

[@MacVitRu]

Sigma 30mm 1.4 the best. Sony 35mm 👎

[@ThyagoVideomaker]

why? sigma has no stabilization

[@JalilovTimur]

Thyago Videomaker Sony’s sharpness is very bad, 2-3 times better on sigma, I have both lenses and sigma out of competition, and sony have misfocus (sorry for eng, not my native lang)

[@ahmadmustofa6413]

​@@JalilovTimurOut of competition?
