[@TechGearTalk]

⭐️ Buy the Sigma 16mm f/1.4: geni.us/1QBZx (affiliate) ⭐️ Buy the Sigma 30mm f/1.4: geni.us/l24RgAp (affiliate) ⭐️ Buy the Sigma 56mm f/1.4: geni.us/AdMyy (affiliate) What's up everyone?! I hope this review of the Sigma 16, 30 and 56mm f/1.4 for Canon EOS M was helpful. These lenses are absolutely awesome and I would definitely pic up all three if it’s in your budget. Let me know what you think!! Would love to know what you think, good or bad. I am grateful in advance 🙏

Hello Friend, I will be upgrading my lens for my M50 by selling of my existing 18-150EFM lens. Purpose: Landscape, Portrait, VLOG Please help me out what to pick without cutting much into my pocket? Few I have shortlisted. Canon EF-M 11-22MM Canon EF-M 22MM Sigma 16MM F 1.4 Sigma 30MM F1.4

There's definitely a difference between the microphone internal and the external one. You can't hear the autofocus with the external mic.

Honestly, Sigma saved CANON APSC as well as SONY APSC!! I have the sony e mount version and they're the SHARPEST, fastest auto focusing lens (except for the new G master) for SONY APSC!!

Hey great video . I am still using my canon m50 to shoot my photography tutorials and vlogs and planing to upgrade to sony A7 iii with 16-35mm f2.8 lens but now I have to think again. How’s your experience with these lenses in terms of auto focus and image stabilisation ? Nice channel bro

[@LisasLife]

Great great auto focus😁 No IS 😒

[@brotha_pedat]

What is the go-to lens that you use with your M50?

[@TechGearTalk]

@maneesh Saxena - Thank you for the kind words. I have an a7iii and the AF on it is great. As far as stabilization, it depends on what you expectations are. There is no dslr/mirrorless camera that I've ever used that gives me "very" smooth footage. I will always use a gimbal if I want the most stable results. I hope this makes sense.

[@TechGearTalk]

@Lisa's Life - That's true. All depends on what your priorities are.

[@TechGearTalk]

@That Brotha Pedat - it depends on what you shooting. Start another thread of comments so it doesn't get mixed up and I'll let you know.

[@Drostvideo]

Great review..which lens do you recommend if I want I sharper picture with nice bokeh when recording talking head videos...I currently use the 22mm?

[@michaeldidomenico7]

overall, I think the 16mm would make this a perfect walk around lens when I am in Europe and in the small villages.

[@TechGearTalk]

I couldn't agree more Michael. It's such a great street, architecture, landscape, urban exploration lens!

[@teamhazardous201]

I have the 16mm and the M5. I love it. I'm curious if Canon will develop a "serious" M series Camera for semi-pros like a Fuji XT4. Would love to see a M5/M50 hybrid with IBIS, flip screen and legit 4K.

[@TechGearTalk]

I'm very curious to see what Canon does next in this space.

[@kevinbui4059]

I've really enjoyed the Canon 22mm/F2. I think this lens was used for 95% of the pictures I took for my Japan trip. Full disclosure: I am hardly a pro or even semi-pro photographer. I am a little more travel focused and snapping pictures of friends/places/experiences. Anyways... I ran around Japan with an M100 and 22mm prime. For the most part, it did everything I needed. There's certainly limitations. Very low-light... it really struggled. The two place that I encountered this combo struggling was Omoide Yokocho (famous restaurant/bar alley in Tokyo) and the Osaka Aquarium in some of their darker exhibits. The pros of the set-up is that it was perfect to travel with. Small... compact... fits into your jacket pocket. I think the Canon 22mm is a good price-point also. It retails for $250, but I've seen it on sale between $200-$220, and refurbished from Canon for less than $200. If you need the extra performance from the extra half-stop and wider angle of the Sigma, understandable. If it isn't something you need, maybe the Canon might be the better bang for the dollar route.

[@schoaibali]

@@kevinbui4059 do u have any experience shooting video with the both? If yes how did u find each of them espacillay the stabilization? I think none of them come with the IS.

I looove that lenses, but I use the 16mm in m200, and i have a lot of noise in my videos with Iso 100 and 1.4 aperture. Why it is happen?

[@mekawi]

Sagiee i have a quick questions about efm mount? what about using a tokina 11-16 with viltrox speedbooster on a m6 mark ii or canon m50 ? Does it vignette or not work ?

[@TechGearTalk]

Hi there. It will not work with the speedbooster because it's an aps-c lens. It should work with the regular adapter though. I hope this helps

[@ArnelBrittany]

The motor sound test was so interesting! I’m not even a camera enthusiast but your videos helped us pick out the Canon EOS M50 and we look forward to upping video quality with a Sigma 16mm lens soon, thanks for sharing!

[@TechGearTalk]

Thank you so much for the feedback you two. That 16mm is an excellent choice. Let me know how it works out.

[@kobyohmarsomozo4351]

Amazing video man! I’ve been waiting for a thorough video for all the sigma efm lenses, especially for my canon m50! Great job 👍

[@TechGearTalk]

So glad it was helpful Koby! Appreciate the kind words. Which lens/es did you like best?

[@kobyohmarsomozo4351]

Tech Gear Talk sorry I’m responding to this so late, I don’t usually get a lot of notifications for KZbin. But the lens I loved the most and the one I really want is the Sigma 16mm!

[@jordanphaskins]

First off I love all of your videos. I have had an M50 for a year now and recently lost my job so I am finally getting time to explore it. I really want to get into portrait and headshot photography so I am wondering if I should get them 30 or 56.. When I went to b&H the other day the guy wasn't very helpful and pretty intimidating... The 56mm seemed very close to subjects when I was playing with it. is the 30mm a good way to start if im feeling this way?

[@channelwhywhywhy]

As always a brilliant video! Lots of information, lots of demo cuts and just generally awesome! I've recently bought an M50 as my entry level camera for vblogs and shot and you have become my best source for anything M50 related! Thank you!

[@TechGearTalk]

Super glad the video have been helpful 🙏

[@It-sLeya]

Great video ! I will definitely buy one of these but not sure yet if the 16mm or 30 ? 🤔 planning to do travel vlogs / videos & reaction content .. not sure which one is better for that type of videos.

[@TechGearTalk]

Thank you Leya. Do you have the kit lens? Set it to 16 then to 30 and see which you like better. I really like the 16, but the 30 may be better for talking head (it depends on the space)

[@InnerPeaceSounds]

Awesome review! But this ring light reflection in the eyes freaks me out :D

[@TechGearTalk]

Thank you. Unfortunately, with where that light had to be, it was the only thing I could fit. Since then I bought a new light that will work in the future.

[@neuroseller]

Thanks for this video, very well explained. I am looking to get a lens for my bee m50. I’m just wondering which ones to get. I film inside of a room and close to the camera, mostly at night with some key lights. Which one is good for inside filming?

[@user-dt9fq6re3n]

I am getting into real estate photography on my m50. Would you recommend I use the sigma 16mm or the canon 11-22mm?

[@sean9820]

16mm no question.

[@ELPAPIPIPON]

Which one is bigger, the Sigma 56mm or the Canon 50mm 1.8 + adapter? I'm pretty sure I'll get the 16mm and the Canon 32, but I'm still thinking if the 52 would be worth it. Another great video, thanks!

[@Terran0va_Plays]

That footage is 100% stable enough for my style. This trip looks like the perfect bang for your buck group of lenses for vlogging, videography, and photography for a beginner like me. Media tech is expensive!! But I think it's a good investment and these products are definitely more inexpensive than alternatives. Thank you!!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

I’m happy with the kit lens for my videos, but I’d like to have all 3 sigma lenses to step up my quality!

[@TechGearTalk]

If you had to pick one, which would it be?

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Tech Gear Talk I’d like to do some nice looking interviews (talking heads) with better bokeh (does that term apply to video too?). So I imagine the 56mm would render the best results?

[@TechGearTalk]

Yes, the 56 will give you the most separation (assuming you have enough room). The 30 would also work. You can see in the Captain America photos the difference in terms of the size of the light orbs.

[@kevinbui4059]

I can't speak for videos, but I didn't really care for the 15-35mm kit lens for stills. I find myself using the Canon 22mm prime a lot and really enjoy that. The 55-200mm kit lens is kind of a sleeper in my opinion. It isn't something I grab often, but surprisingly, I've gotten a lot of great pictures with it.

[@ForTheRoadTravels]

Hola amigo, We have a question, we do have this lens 00:36 and we also have the DJI Ronin SC and we cannot balance the gimbal whatsoever, we checked the payload and it's a least 500 grams less than the max the gimbal can support. We were wondering if it's because of how big the lense get with the mount adapter and this does not allow it to balance?

Hey bro i was hoping to get your advice. I currently have a canon m6 mark ii that i got after watching your review. THANK YOU I LOVE IT!!!! Now I really want to get a 50mm focal length equivalent for the camera but i am torn between getting this Sigma 30mm or getting the vilrtrox speed booster with the nifty fifty EF lens instead . Which one would you suggest i get? I’ll be sure to use your affiliate link. Thank you for always giving the best advice 🤙🏽

[@TechGearTalk]

What's up! Great camera you have - congrats! If it were me, I'd probably get the 30mm because it's smaller, lighter, sharper and less gear to take with you. The only reason I may get the 50, is if I was ALSO going to buy other EF lenses to use with the speedbooster. Does that help? Thank you for supporting the channel. 🙏

[@30killabeatz]

I got the m50 with the sigma 16mm lens used it on my last video with the cinema profile 🔥🔥🔥 can you do a video on cinestyle and cinema profile for canon

[@30killabeatz]

Tech Gear Talk dope video. I heard cinestyle can mess up in the shadows and in lowlight sometimes but I haven’t use it with the sigma lens yet only because of the time I have to put into it coloring it. That’s why I was suggesting doing a video on that vs with cinema profile vs standard. Cinema is like cinestyle but graded out of the camera. Would love to see your tests

This is such a helpful video. I got the M50 and the Sigma 16mm for KZbin and VLogs, where it really shines imo. Now I am slowly getting into photography/composition and doing portrait shots. Therefore I am thinking of getting another Sigma lens. I also have the kit lens, but it lacks the depth of field for portraits. Would you recommend getting the 56mm in this case. Or would you recommend getting the 30mm, since it is more of an allround lens.

[@TechGearTalk]

For portraits, the 56mm is absolutely my favorite - no doubt. If you want more of an allaround lens then the 30. Thanks for being part of the channel!

Thank you for creating such great content. I'm a sales professional looking to level up my zoom game and your content helped me make incredibly informed decisions. I landed on an SL3 (my first DSLR ever) for a variety of reasons. After really digging in with your videos (and some others) I narrowly avoided the mistake of buying the nifty fifty and opted instead for the Sigma 30mm F1.4 Art DC HSM Lens for Canon. I only received my gear yesterday yet in my initial tests, the combination of the sl3+sigma+elgato 4K capture card creates an incredible presence on zoom at a reasonable price point - exactly what I envisioned - Thank you!

[@mike.golden]

I'm so glad I discovered your channel! I think the M50 has great niche of new, aspiring photographers and videographers. Until I came across your videos there was a huge void of KZbinrs who discuss (1) fundamental camera concepts in a way that's easy to understand and, and (2) information that is specific to the fantastic entry-level Canon M50. There are many KZbinrs who have videos on the M50, but it's readily apparent that they've only used it 1-2 times. I trust your opinion more because it's easy to see that you use it quite frequently! Now for my question if I may. My primary purpose is to shoot cinematic travel videos, and then some indoor product reviews. I was initially going to go for the Canon EF-M 22m, Canon EF 50mm plus Viltrox Speedbooster, and Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 with adapter (there's some really good M50 cinematic videos taken by a KZbinr named Callum Cookson and that's his go-to lens). But after reading the comments it seems like I might be better off just getting the Sigma 18-35mm with adapter because it would give me the same focal lengths as the Canon 22 and 50mm in one package. What do you think? Can the Sigma 18-35mm be used for both talking head and outdoor cinematic videos? Thanks!

[@TechGearTalk]

Hi. A few things. First, the 18-35mm is my favorite lens. period. There is no other single lens I would trade it for. Other than the fact that it's heavy, it's amazing. I'd skip the 22 unless you want something super small and light to be able to vlog with (holding the M50 with the adapter and the 18-35 gets heavy). Hope that helps.

[@mike.golden]

​@@TechGearTalk That helps, thank you! I didn't consider the weight with the adapter - that could make it hard to balance if I ever get a gimbal. Back at square one haha.

I've slowly been trying to up my video production and have known for a while the kit lens was holding me back. I was so excited to find you and your professional channel. Thanks, Just ordered the 30mm through your affiliate link. Subscribed and looking forward to more great content!

[@TechGearTalk]

I'm so glad to hear the video was helpful. CONGRATS on the new lens! And thank you for supporting the channel 🙏 Let me know how it works out for you when you get it!

First - your videos are amazing! So informative without pushing any given solution but really encouraging us to make choices based on our specific situation. Which brings me to my question - I currently have a Canon 750D and use it as a my webcam for my coaching sessions. I am considering switching to the M50 but was wondering about lens. I keep the camera on a tripod at a little shy of 3 ft from me. I don't want to show too much background and also love the rich depth of field that comes from a 50mm but I don't want to appear too close up either (so just a talking head). From about 3 ft from me, how wide a view would the 16mm and 30mm give me? And would the 30mm be too close for that distance? Look forward to your suggestions! THANK YOU!!!!

[@MrOsantosjr]

These are legit! The AF is so fast and seamless! I’m definitely convinced that I am getting the bundle! Thank you! Great content!

[@TechGearTalk]

No doubt - Sigma did a good job. Glad the video is helpful - thanks for supporting the channel Orlando!

[@patrickfitzgerald2861]

LMAO Sagi! I didn't think it was possible to make you look ugly, but you managed it with that harsh lighting in the focus test towards the end! Anyhow, great review of these M mount lens options, and thank you to Sigma for offering them. 😉

[@TechGearTalk]

LOL. Thanks Patrick.

[@drdimento]

Amazing review. I like your work, it’s always clear, concise (yet with just the right detail), and you have a terrific model. I haven’t read any of the others comments on motor noise so this is straight out of my own thoughts, I could not at any time hear any of the motor noise in any of the samples. As you stated, I heard floor noise in the one part, and at one point I heard what I thought was some family noise to include may a child, but otherwise . . I heard nothing in the way of ratcheting or whir while the lens(es) were focusing. I love this kit (all 3) and if only the M50m2 had a headphone jack, I’d see it as the most amazing camera ever built in the M line, much like the 90D in the EF-S crop line. Thanks again for your review and for the wonderful presentation. Assuming I buy the M50m2 I’ll definitely get the Sigma set. Now a question . . Which ZOOM lens to buy for the M50 and which TELEPHOTO lens to buy for the M50?

[@beautynfavor21]

I subscribed because I appreciate how you didn't just tell me what lenses I need, you SHOWED me which one(s) I need. Which are the 16 & 56mm's. When I buy, I will use your links.

[@TechGearTalk]

I'm so glad the video was actually helpful - that is definitely my goal. I try my best to focus on the WHY and SHOWING so that people can get the gear that will work for them. Welcome to the channel and thank you for the support!

[@jensisbak]

Great, great review as always. Very detailed. Love how you used the background lighting and the small men's to demonstrate the image auto focus and quality of the lenses👍

[@TechGearTalk]

So glad it was helpful and I appreciate the kind words. Yeah, those little guys come in handy :) They are good models - never move :D

[@willstone8313]

Very informative; Prompted me to modify a pending order to include the 16mm Sigma! You earned a subscriber. Thank You.

[@TechGearTalk]

Glad it was helpful Will - that is such a good lens! Welcome to the channel!

[@GLEZPhotographyFreeClips]

I’ve been using these lenses myself. I think they’re great not only on a Canon.

[@TechGearTalk]

Agreed! Love the Sony version as well.

[@DiannePhD-JD]

This content was AWESOME and educational! I'm purchasing the 56mm, thanks!

[@TechGearTalk]

So glad it was helpful, Dianne. Congrats on the 56mm - it’s a fantastic lens!

[@IceyUni]

This video was amazing and very helpful but would the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 be a good portrait lens ?

[@TechGearTalk]

Thanks for the kind words. The 18-35mm is my favorite lens and can work for portraits at the 30-35 range. Of course you can use it wide, just be aware of the distortion.

[@shoop4040]

You are sooooo incredibly good at your explanations I love it. I have truly enjoyed all your videos. I am in my 50's considering a hobby and photography has been one. The M50 is a camera I have had my eye on for a long time. But like anything else especially during the extraordinary times we are all in at this moment, budget is a big deal. The lenses cost a fortune however the sigma is certainly a game-changer. Thank you for all the work you put into your work.. It looks like I'll be making a purchase of the M50 and 2 of the sigma lenses. May you, your family, friends, and subscribers be safe during this time and may we all learn something new. Even though both mic's picked up the motor Rode mic was better at hiding it.

[@TechGearTalk]

I'm so glad that the videos are helpful with your journey into photography. I very much appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback 🙏 I hope you an your loved ones are safe and healthy. Let me know if I can help with any questions.

[@ChristianLawrence]

Great review. I have great things about the 16mm. The lack of stabilisation always worried me, but footage looks great in the video. I will wait for the m5/m50 specs to be released before I purchase. Just incase they change the mount to some rf hybrid or release some native glass. Hopefully head news soon?🤔 But some awesome glass for a system that does lack in the lens department. Thanks for the review 👌👌

[@TechGearTalk]

Thanks so much for the feedback Christian. Definitely let me know what you choose to do!

[@tahmooresmazhari3099]

Thank you so much for such a very informative video! Always learn a lot from your reviews! I wasn’t sure if I should get Canon EF-M 32 f/1.4, but after this review, I am convinced to go with the Sigma 30mm version!

[@TechGearTalk]

So glad the videos are helpful. Let me know what you think about the 30 when you get it! CONGRATS!

[@marknongkhlaw1674]

Ok, what about the kit lens (15-45 mm) combined with the Canon EFS 55-250 IS STM. Though this doesn't go wider than 15×1.6 for Canon M50, will they be comparable to the rest of the focal range discussed here? Thanks

[@kwrench1]

Man, your videos are so well done! I’m thankful I found your channel because I just purchased the m50 mark ii. Which of these lenses is best for product photography? And you’ve got a new subscriber here.

[@chillinjervisbay2123]

Im new to photography and have purchased the m50, thanks for easy to understand info. I just purchased the sigma 16mm

[@TechGearTalk]

CONGRATS on the camera and the fantastic lens!!!

[@keifer39]

After watching a dozen videos about these lenses yours helped me make up my mind. Great thorough content. Subscribed.

[@TechGearTalk]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for being part of the channel!

[@recordoclip]

1st, You do this so well for us non-photogs, thank you! I'm shooting with the kit on my m50, typically a lifestyle wardrobe shot or a light box jewelry shot (that's what we sell). The kit works, but our big miss is getting great high detail closeup lightbox shots of jewelry. I'm looking for a new lens, and it seems like the 56MM might me a good Go-To for both my applications. Would you agree, or can you recommend something else that is budget friendly and great for detailed product shots? Thanks in advance.

[@smashcrash8191]

nice to see you again !!!

[@marinprskalo724]

Thank you for this video, better test video for camera and lenses i did not see in last 5 years

[@TechGearTalk]

Oh wow, thank you so much for the kind words. I'm super glad it was helpful and thank you for joining the channel.

[@amanciber11]

Hi, great video thanks! ...just one question: these sigma lens are also for DSLR APS-C like the Canon 90D? i need one lens for filming a cooking course with a chef. Thank you!

[@RolieKloeOlie]

Thanks for this great video. I’m sticking with my 22mm because I love 35mm equiv look. I’m looking forward to getting the 56mm for portraits

[@joshberger5431]

Great video, thanks! For vlogging from a desk (recorded and streaming), which of these would you recommend for bokeh and crop using the M50?

[@laurabaraga]

Thank you for the video! I'm new to the industry but I have my canon m50 and I just bought sigma f1.4 56 mm and sigma 30 mm. Am I missing something or you can't mount them without an adapter? In every video I looked at it no one says about any adapter. Can someone help me please? 🙏

[@youtech4594]

this channel is just underrated. Keep up the good work.

[@TechGearTalk]

Oh wow, thank you so much. Appreciate the kind words and feedback. If you know anyone who you think would like the content, I appreciate you sharing. Which lens did you like the best?

[@youtech4594]

@@TechGearTalk I'll actually share that for sure. Well all lenses are great between the 16mm and the 56mm I think 16mm is the lens which most of people (including myself) will use more often.

[@TechGearTalk]

Yeah, I definitely love that one. Thank you for the support 🙏

[@smalltowngeeks]

Just ordered my 56mm. I have been missing that 85mm focal length!

[@TechGearTalk]

That lens is so good. You'll crush it on your M6II!
