Sigma 16mm f1.4 + Sony a6000 = BEST

Bro youre easily one of my top 3 sony alpha reviewers. Not everyone can afford the latest and greatest camera but thru a nice set up and post editing, u can get amazing results. This lens is not the cheapest either but it has this built in clear zoom feature which makes it kinda like a zoom lens... Just an absolute beast

A bit late to the party, but only just found your channel yesterday. Great video and nice B-Roll shots. I'm just starting with photography and looking for good affordable lens options. As a newbie I'm worrying about ruining my equipment by being careless. Are these lenses "weathersealed"? Is that an important feature to consider?

[@TomsJurjaks]

Hey Björn and welcome to the family 🙌 really glad you left a comment here. To reply to your question, well, I'm mostly using non-weather sealed cameras and lenses and yes, I do get them wet once in a while from splashes of waves when doing ocean photos or from rain (as you can imagine here in Denmark rains a lot). But I am not as crazy as some landscape photographers that leave their camera in rain for hours. If it gets wet, i just wipe them off. They are more durable then what you think my friend. Also I suggest to always use the lens hood (for whatever lens you use). They greatly protect the glass from bumps, scratches etc . Always use lens caps when putting them in bag and don't worry - you will do great in your photography journey 🙌

[@bjornbuker6774]

@@TomsJurjaks Hey, thanks for the warm welcome. That's very reassuring considering the Danish weather is probably just as bad as the German one😅. Have you ever shot in tropical conditions (hot and high humidity)? Do you think weather sealing is necessary there?

[@TomsJurjaks]

Yeah German weather can definitely be even worse @@bjornbuker6774 and yes, I have shot in Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia. I have never had any issues. I think most importantly is where you store your gear. If you have a room with AC and you dont leave it outside in that humidity 24/7 you should be fine. I think the weather sealing thing is really for extreme use like someone spending hours in rain, days in jungle or just in some storm 😀 I think for us, normal, casual shooters, it is not necessary. The gear is sturdy enough to withstand weather elements for short amount of time.

[@yervazhiulagam3198]

Superb bro❤️😁

[@BrendonBressan]

What you think is better, Sony a6000 + sigma 16mm 1.4 or Fuji xt30 + 16mm 2.8?

[@TomsJurjaks]

Although Fuji XT30 is MUCH better camera than a6000 and you only let me chose between those two setups -I would still go with a6000 because of the Sigma 16mm f1.4 lens which is the sharpest lens I have ever used. It doesn't matter how good camera you use, if you put a lens with not so good AF and not so good sharpness - then your images will be average quality. Lens is always more important than the camera, however if you intend to use lots of different lenses - then go with Fuji.

[@BrendonBressan]

[@GrowWithWill]

So the lack of OSS or the sound of the autofocus does not impact things significantly (assuming you have an external mic)? I'm debating between this lens and the Sony 35mm f1.8 for my next KZbin lens. I do talking heads!

[@TomsJurjaks]

Both lenses are great my friend. For talking head videos my camera is on tripod so there is no need for OSS (for handheld of course better to have OSS). AF is basically dead silent. Ive never heard in audio it trying to focus. The 35mm is as I said also a great option but remember that on crop sensor it will give you the "50mm look" so you will have to put the camera quite a bit further from you and forget about vlogging hand held - you will simply not be able to stretch your hand far enough to fit yourself in frame.

[@GrowWithWill]

@@TomsJurjaks so you’d give this the slight edge?

[@TomsJurjaks]

@@GrowWithWill I already have 50mm f1.8 lens on full frame (basically identical focal length to 35mm on crop) and I really like that lens, but I don't use it for talking head videos. If you think of getting the 35mm - its gonna be amazing cuz you can use it for portraits, architecture and so many more photography types. But if you mainly wanna do talking head videos and handheld vlogs then 16mm Sigma will definitely be of more use. You can however still make the 35mm work for talking head videos, but not for vlogs. I would suggest to think where else you would use the lens and decide based on that. Nevertheless - both of them are great lenses just different use cases and only you know how you intend to use it. Good luck my friend, I know its not an easy choice 😂

Since the camera is discontinued, stores won't keep them forever (my guess) so hopefully in next 2 weeks around Christmas you will get some price drop.

​@@TomsJurjaks I personally find bigger focal lengths better for car photography. I currently own two Sigmas - 30mm and 56mm (f1.4). They're both great but I prefer to use 56mm almost all the time. The bokeh, compression and sharpness is amazing with this lens. 30mm is also great, but has too much fringing which is hard to get rid of even in Lightroom and the final effects are juuust a little bit less impressive ;). I am thinking of replacing the 30mm with 16mm for some cityscapes, landscapes and in general for wider shots, which I think would be a nice lineup with 56mm. Now if I only could find a good quality zoom that doesn't also break the bank... ;)

[@geleshwargalexproductions]

I love to use it on my Sony a6400

[@Met845]

What lens good for action/sports photography????

[@TomsJurjaks]

You probably need a telephoto lens to "get close" to the action. You can check out some Tamron zoom lenses. Affordable price, excellent quality and good aperture 👌

[@Motion4lproductions]

Hey man ive been coming back to this video a couple times last 3 months and deciding on a camera, im able to get a sony a6000 set with both sigma 16mm & 30mm or a sony a6300 with 16-50mm kitlens. I guess i should go with the sony a6000? Or do you think the sony a6300 would be better and buy a sigma 16mm later

[@TomsJurjaks]

Hey buddy! What is the main purpose for you getting a camera? If it is photos, then 100% a6000 will be enough and you wont feel a difference between a6000 and a6300 and it would be great to have extra lenses. If it is video making you are interested in - then a6300 is a way to go. You won't be able to make good videos with kit lena so you still will have to find a good lens as soon as you can afford it.

[@sebastianolucoli5963]

With a6000 with x1.5 Is 25mm?

[@TomsJurjaks]

Yes, to be precise it would be 24.5 mm. You can use this simple site to make calculations for other focal lengths too www.omnicalculator.com/other/crop-factor

[@opletmuda891]

Btw u need to try it too, like u were tried 85mm f1.8 sony lens. I’m waiting that video oke with this lens

[@TomsJurjaks]

Alright, I will do that 🙌

[@thestitchinglot3807]

Hi. I own the a6600 & sigma 16mm 1.4 I’ve been trying to do videos like yours but they never come out as good. Any recommendations on Sony settings to get colors like yours? Are you using a custom picture profile? Please help!

[@TomsJurjaks]

Hey buddy! I put the least possible effort in colors. A6000 doesn't even have Picture Profiles, so I set contrast and saturation to -2. For a6400 I shoot in PP10 with HLG2 and again, I need to do very little for color correction. Hope it helps!

[@khoa.trinh09]

I'm a beginner in photography, I'm considering the a6000 as my first camera. If I can only have 1 lens among Sony E 50mm f1.8, Sony 18-105mm f4 and Sigma 16mm f1.4. Can u help me to pick one of them for these following circumstances (portrait, group, travel, street,...). Thanks for your help - From Vietnam with luv 🥰🥰🥰

[@TomsJurjaks]

Hey Khoa! a6000 is going to be a perfect first camera. Photo capabilities are still excellent for this camera. Regarding the lens, since you can only get one and you need it to be versatile - I would go with the Sony 18-105mm zoom lens. It is excellent all arounder that can be used in bunch of occasions. It is not going to be the best lens in each category you mentioned, but it does cover all categories. When you can get a second lens, definitely buy a prime lens: 24, 35 or 50mm f1.8. doesn't matter the brand. Any of those will be perfect for portraits and street photography. Good luck my friend 🙌🇻🇳

[@khoa.trinh09]

So about the prime lens, which lens (16, 35 or 50mm) is most suitable for my case. I heard that Sigma 16mm is the sharpest lens for a6000 so I am interested in having it but I don't know that is it too hard to take portrait than the 50mm for a beginner like me or not?

[@TomsJurjaks]

16mm Sigma is definitely on of the sharpest lenses for Sony E Mount and application is quite large, however I would say it would be used a lot for videos@@khoa.trinh09 For photos and especially for portraits I could recommend rather the Sigma 30mm f1.4. It is as sharp as the Sigma 16mm and costs also very little compared to other lenses.

[@khoa.trinh09]

Okay thanks for your help Toms. Best wishes for you, hope that your channel will be better and better. Gud luck my friend 😊

[@TomsJurjaks]

Thank you for your best wishes@@khoa.trinh09 Im glad I could help you. And good luck for you too 🙌

[@leviathan2049]

The combo is 🔥 indeed. Nice B-Roll😎. What are your thoughts on an a6000 + 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM | A? Is it worth it? Will there will a difference between 1.4mm/1.8mm?

[@TomsJurjaks]

Levian, I honestly didn't even know someone makes a zoom lens with f1.8 🙉 Im more familiar with Full Frame lenses so I was not aware of this Sigma lens. It seems pretty cool tbh and I would probably go with the zoom lens vs the prime. You won't feel the difference between f1.4 vs f1.8 because the bokeh at f1.4 on 16mm feels "less" than compared to f1.8 at 35mm (the longer the focal length, the more blurry the background will be). It all comes down to your budget too. Sigma 16mm can be copped for 300$ (slightly used) but the zoom is x2 more if im not mistaken. But definitely worth to consider.

Hi Tom! I am Miguel from 2megapixels Channel, content Creator like you, doing specially mobile content, reviews, unboxing, camera reviews.. Normally I film myself with mobiles but recently I bought a Lumix lx15 ( compact camera with flip screen and 4k ) but it is small, I keep having It, but yesterday I bought the Sony a6000 to work with it because my pc is old and not powerfull for work good with 4k files.. So, my question is.. Do you think it's nice option that camera for my type of content? And, I am thinking about to buy the Sigma 16 or 30mm! What do you think is better for this? And ¿ Do you think is a problem to film in 1080/60 instead of 4k un 2021/22? Thanks dude!

[@TomsJurjaks]

Hey buddy and thanks for your question! As always, I would say that the most important thing is the content, the value you provide and very good audio. Rest can be secondary (look at my most popular video - it was filmed with GoPro 😁). A6000 is good beginners camera, but not as good for videos. If I were you - I would stick with 4K and your Lumix and make sure you use PROXIES. I have the same issue as you (slow computer) and proxies help sssooooo much editing 4K videos. I would leave a6000 for photos - it is amazing photo camera, especially with those 2 Sigma lenses 👌

[@2Megapixels]

@@TomsJurjaks thanks for the answer bro.. But, do you think its better the 4k of the LUMIX LX15 instead of the 1080/60 Sony a6000? I like so much the Sony but i know its 1080. But most of the people watch KZbin with the phone..

[@aleksandar_srb]

Hello Toms, i hope you will see this message and respond cuz i need a little help. As first as, i bought a6000 with 16mm f1.4 sigma last year, took many photos but they look so freaking bad. Im totally stupid about photography but i love photos. 2nd thing is that i maybe maded mistake cuz in some videos people says that 16mm sigma is not good for portrait and sometimes when im trying to take portrait i need to come really close to person. Also, im shooting at 4:3 scale but dont know if that camera have zoom in/out fck... 😕

[@TomsJurjaks]

Hey Alex, don't worry too much, because there is a solution to all of your problems. First, why does these pictures look bad? Because the lens is super sharp and capable. Maybe you simply need to give it some more time to learn photography and get better. Second, well yes, this lens is not the most common to use for portraits. In general a 35, 50 or 85mm lenses are more common for portraits. Sigma has 30mm and also 56mm f1.4. You should try one of those for portraits. This 16mm lens is best for taking videos. And it is a prime lens so of course you can not zoom in, don't be frustrated. Its the type of lens. If you wanna zoom in you need a zoom lens. With prime lens you zoom by coming closer with your feet :) Hope it helps!

[@aleksandar_srb]

@@TomsJurjaks Well, thanks for super fast answer my friend. Uhm.. did i made mistake by buying 16mm for portrait cuz its not that good for portraits. :/ And by far, i need to buy 30mm 😑 As i told you im a beginner and primarly i want to shoot some photos for posting on instagram and those are portraits.

[@TomsJurjaks]

Think of it as a learning lesson rather than a mistake 🙂 Now you will know that it takes A LOT of time to do a research of gear before you buy it. If your primary goal is portraits then 16mm is not the best lens (especially for beginners). Its a great lens but its best used for other purposes. But don't worry, try to sell it or exchange it against Sigma 30mm f1.4 or Sigma 56mm f1.4. Both of those lenses will be amazing for portraits!

[@aleksandar_srb]

@@TomsJurjaks Yes, im thinking about it. Which one you prefer? 30mm or 56? Just your opinion

[@TomsJurjaks]

56mm as its more "zoomed in" and works very well with half body portraits, BUT it can be bit more challenging so for beginners I guess 30mm is bit more common. Still creates awesome portraits and can be used also for full body shots, cars, street/architecture photos etc

What is the price of new Sigma 16mm f1.4 in your country? In India this lens is 35000 rupees. Please reply me.
