The only review i was looking for long time for real, thanks Peter’s for this Video. You gave me the confidence to buy this lens. 🙏🏽

[@petersroom]

Thank you! I appreciate it. I think you'll enjoy your new toy. :D I love that lens. Have a nice day! 🙌

[@rab2viral_IPM]

Great explanation ! Needed this video; trying to decide on a new lens for my zve-10

[@petersroom]

Thanks! I really appreciate. 🙏 It depends on what you shoot, but this was my first lens after the kit lens and I was very happy with it. It gave me that nice shallow depth of field and bokeh. And also it's very compact, so you can travel with this easily. I made some other lens reviews, so you can check them on my channel, maybe it could help you with the decision. ☺️

[@paulz8750]

You do a great job of showing the products capabilities whilst talking about it - unlike many other channels, who just love talking without demonstrating.

Thank you for sharing! It means a lot :) I try to show what you can do with these tools and put effort to test it in real situations. Have a nice day.

Thank youu buddy! I was in pain trying to search a perfect lens to buy and seems I've found it! The combo of Sigma 16mm 1.4 and this one is perfect for filmmakers

Great review! Would you say the OSS version is what you should go for? As a bit of context I'm an amateur photographer - bit of a hobby but will mainly just be shooting images of my partner and baby.

[@petersroom]

Thank you for asking! I think in photography the oss is not a big deal, maybe in lowlight when you have to go down with your shutter speed. But if in the future you want to film something, the oss can be a huge benefit. So i highly recommend to buy the Sony 35mm OSS. Have a nice day ✌️😎

[@boulderdash2000]

I owned this lens in the far past. I bought it new, but I was never convinced with its unimpressive OSS, soft sharpness at full f/1.8 and high longitudinal chromatic aberration. Yesterday I decided to give this lens in combo with an ultra small A5100 a new chance Your pictures and footage are looking very nice in this video. I hope I will get a similar look in my pictures. I will take the small package with me in the holidays 🌎🏖

[@petersroom]

I hope you enjoy the lens. I really like this lens look. With 5100 it's a great lightweight combo. Have a nice day!✌️

[@pjfsr7024]

This is a bit late, but by chance have you checked the software version for the lens ? Mine had V1, on the website they have a V2 I ask because in February, I got from my son his A6000, he decided he liked film, anyway I too had small issues with the lens ( probably me making some of those issues )anyway I went to DL manual for the camera, and went also looking at updates and one for this lens was dated Jan. of 2023, so I updated the lens, this and my manual 55-105 canon have been my two main lenses since.

[@familyjoys]

Nice review sir..just wanna ask..i got my A6500 with ibis on it..does combination ibis and oss lens makes video stabilization even better or just the same with no oss lens?

[@petersroom]

if you use both ibis and oss, they add up. The stabilization will be somewhat better, but not much better.

[@petersroom]

Thank you for asking 🙏

[@fishoutofwater5376]

did you use the a6400 for all the clips that you show in this video? great vid

[@petersroom]

Hi! I used an a7s3 for the talking head and the rest footage made by a6400. thank you! ☺️

[@mariaeduarda7624]

Tanks

[@smmtavares]

Great video. Would you use it for 'talking head' videos like this one or for Zoom/Teams/Streaming puroposes?

[@petersroom]

Thanks! If you have some space in your room i can recommend it, cause your face looks more natural than with wider lenses. But most of the time i have to do my talking heads on my desk so i dont have much space . Its better for using as a dedicated studio lens, where you have more space. But if you ask me, i recommend more the sigma 16mm f1.4 instead of the Sony. I think thats the best talking head lens. If you check my channel you’ll find some reviews about the sigma. If you have some question, feel free to ask. Have a nice day 😎

[@smmtavares]

@@petersroom Thanks for replying. I've been looking at the Sigma too. One question about it, if possible. Bearing in mind the "on my desk" setup, what's the typical distance between you and the Sigma?

[@petersroom]

@@smmtavares Usually i can touch my camera. Around 1 arm distance.

[@lukasmerkaphotos]

after a year using this lens I really like it ( a nice budget lens for aps-c camera for my a6000 ) But if I have to say some cons, sometimes the focus takes time and the Aberration is very frequently problem ( at least in my case :) ) But still! Good lens.

[@petersroom]

Thank you for sharing! I appreiate.

[@katflorida8349]

When you go close to the camera to check the autofocus and the part where there is the lady having her eyebrows done why do they look so different? Like different lense/camera? Is it the ratio or what is it? And how do i achieve that movie look you achieved with the lady having her eyebrows done with this lense? Any help is appreciated im really new to filmmaking so just learning! Great review!

[@petersroom]

Hi! Thank you for asking, i think i made all of the pictures with the 35mm f1.8. But i have to check it cause there is a chance that i made a mistake and i put a picture from my sigma 16mm. If that is the case than sorry for the missleading. If you are new in filmmaking i recommend to check my other lens reviews, cause you can see what can you achieve with different lenses. And if you’re hesitating what lens to buy, i recommend to rent it for a day from a local store and you can see what lens fits to your needs the most. I recommend to check a good zoom lens first like the sony 18-105 f4 and a good wide lens like the sigma 16mm f1.4 and then a lens for compression and details like the sony 35mm f1.8 but it heavily depends on your needs. I hope it helps you mate! Have a nice day! 🙏☺️

[@phuongshane.tran1990]

I agree with you. With all the features of this lens, there isnt much of cons you can talk about. Its a perfect choice wether you're professional photographer or hobby. I'll this over the sigma because of the oss feature. Also, this native lens to the sony body, therefore, the autofocus and focusing in general will be more reliable than Sigma trio. However, Sigma still a great choice. I personally owned Sign 16mm 1.4. A bit wife for street photography but perfect choice for vlog and landscape photos. Thanks for an informative and great video.

[@petersroom]

Thank you! 🙏

[@KovGab8408]

Nekem is a6400-am és egy 18-105 zoom objektívem van. Most tervezek venni egy fix, jó fényerejű objektívet és kezdő fotósként én is erre a 35mm-esre gondoltam. Most te is megerősítetted, hogy jó választás. Ha meglesz, remélem elég lesz ez a kettő és megállok ennyinél :) Remélem, hogy az OSS jobb, mint a 18-105-ben, mert azzal még nem nagyon sikerült kézből elfogadható videót készíteni.

[@petersroom]

Köszönöm a kommentet :) Örülök, hogy hasznosnak találtad a videót. Szerintem a 35mm nagyon jó választás mind fotóra mind videóra. Főleg az f1.8-t nagyon jó használni. Az OSS rásegít, de sajnos a Sony nincs egy Panasonic szinten stabilizációban (legalább is az a6400-nál biztos nem). De szerencsére egy 35mm -es objektívet sokkal egyszerűbb kézben stabilan tartani mint a 18-105 -nél 105mm -en. Minél nagyobb a látószög annál kevésbé látszik, ha remeg a kép. Szóval szerintem nagyon haszons az OSS, de nem kell tőle azért csodákat várni. Érdemes használni nyakbeakasztót, ha kézből szeretnél videózni, mert úgy ha megfeszíted a nyakadon, akkor van +1 csatlakozási pont a testedhez, amivel könnyebben tudod stabilan tartani. De majd fogok csinálni egy videót, hogy hogyan tudsz kézből is stabil felvételeket készíteni. :) Ha van még kérdésed az objektívvel kapcsolatban, akkor ne tartsd magadban :D

[@KovGab8408]

@@petersroom Köszi a választ! Jó ötlet a nyakpánt, meg egy kicsit még gyakorolni kell a stabil fogást, lassú mozdulatokat :)

​@@KovGab8408 Nekem egyik kedvenc objektívem. A Sigma 30mm 1.4- nek egy előnye van, nyitott rekesznél élesebb. A Sony AF jobb, gyorsabb pontosabb, OSS nagyon sokat szamít videónál. Nagyon kicsi és könnyű, talán a. legkisebb fenyerős OSS objektív, mindig nàlam van. OSS akkor jó és hatékony, ha keveset mozogsz vele, más esetben gimbal kell. Több mint 3 éve vettem, rengeteget használom.

[@SneakyCaleb]

The most underrated small lens no doubt!!!!

[@petersroom]

Totally agree! ✌

[@katismad_]

i’ve had this lense for 1.5 years and i feel like i’m missing out on a wider angle of view. do you think i would regret getting the new sigma 23mm 1.4? or am i just looking for a reason to spend money

[@petersroom]

I really like this lens, but sometimes I find it too tight too. The new apsc sigma 23mm is around 35mm on Fullframe which is one of my favorite focal length. It's so versatile, not too tight, not too wide. The faces are not that distorted like the sigma 16mm and you'll get more from the surroundings. If you want wider lenses, I can highly recommend it. But you can rent it for a day. Than you can decide more easily that you like it or not. I can recommend the sigma 16mm f1.4 too. If you want to try something wider. Have a nice day 😀

[@katismad_]

@@petersroom thank you very much!!!! renting it out for a day sounds like a great idea

[@mrlessy]

Are there any filters for this lens you recommend?

[@petersroom]

Thank you for asking! I rarely use filters. The only filter i could recommend is an ND filter if you shoot video. And the other could be a stylistic choice: Black mist filter.

[@Sweeso]

Can someone tell me how to attach the lens hood? It's a 35mm 1.8 lens hood but won't fit

[@petersroom]

Thank you for asking, just try to find the mark of the hood which fits the mark on the lens and if you turn it half way, you can feel a click. Have a nice day! 😎

[@eduardoandrade6786]

I got this lense, how do I create the bokeh effect ? Do I go on settings ? Or do I use the rotation dial on the lense v

[@petersroom]

You have to turn the mode dial on the top to the M and then turn your camera's dial on the top right until you see that the screen shows 1.8. It opens your lens aperture and makes that shallow depth of field. But the shallowness depends on how you shoot. If you go close to your subject, it shows more. Thank you for asking!

[@eduardoandrade6786]

@@petersroom you are incredible, I was so confused in how to use it. But yes it worked. God bless you and appreciate the advice. May I ask, on my lense there’s a ring part that I can rotate right and left, what’s it for ?

[@petersroom]

The lens ring called "focus ring". You can change your camera's focus settings from autofocus to manual focus. When you're using manual focus, you can adjust the focus point with that focus ring. Most of the time the autofocus is fine, but there are some situations when you want to avoid autofocus. For example, when you try to shoot through some plants to add intresting foreground to your image, but you want to focus to your subject instead of the foreground. In this case, i use manual focus, because the autofocus almost all the time try to focus to the plants. So i manually adjust with the ring and my focus stays on my subject. I hope it was understandable. Have nice day!

[@petersroom]

Hi! Yes, this is made for sony crop sensor cameras. You can use it on fullframe if your camera body has apsc mode, but i recommend to buy a fullframe lens instead of this. The full frame lens is Sony FE 35mm f/1.8. But keep in mind that the apsc 35mm looks like 50mm in fullframe, so if you want similar results like in this video, you need an around 50mm lens for fullframe. Like the Sony FE 50mm f1.8.
