  • ★ The Sigma 16mm 1.4 Review for Sony E mount ★ Is this the lens that every owner of the a6500, a6300, and a6000 should own? Or is it too good to be true?
    16mm on the Sony APS-C is a fantastic focal range, just wide enough without being ultrawide. Then, keep in mind that f1.4 aperture and you have to know that this lens is going to make a splash. Think it's too good to be true?

    I've bought this lens recently and have been using it for some time with a6400. It sure is great lens. Video looks good even with 4k you can tell the difference. The only problem I have is that it distorts edges with 1.4-1.8. Strangly it shows only with photo, video is ok. Its just a minor issue and its not a problem for me. I like the quite, fast and relible autofocus.
    I'm glad I watched your video.

    • @dunnadidit
      @dunnadidit  Před 4 lety +3

      There is a setting in the camera that might correct the distortion automatically. But definitely if you’re editing photos in Lightroom, there is a lens profile to correct that!

    Hey Dunna !
    Totally agree with you ! Since i've got mine, i've shoot 90% of the time with it !
    During my trip to Vancouver it was always on my a6500, just a perfect combo !
    See you soon Man !

    • @RiseHigh

    • @dunnadidit
      @dunnadidit  Před 6 lety +3

      That’s awesome! It really is a killer combination isn’t it. And for gimbal work... wooo! I wish I had my gimbal out when I was making this video now. I would have loved to show that setup too.

    • @RiseHigh
      @RiseHigh Před 6 lety +2

      Oh yes, i didn't know you have a gimbal !
      I speak only for myself, but i believe in handeld, haha. I really like the way it feels in the video ( of course if you not shake as a sick guy, but if you know how to be steady enough, and with the stabilization in the a6500, it's just perfect for my kind of cinematic vlog style videos..)
      After my two last video speaking in front of a table inside my flat, i've realized that this is not what i like to do..
      So, i guess everyone has his/her own way to tell stories, mine is outside with my camera in my hand, haha ! See you soon Man ! keep working on your vidéos, they are really great to watch !

    • @dunnadidit
      @dunnadidit  Před 6 lety +2

      Haha yes I have the zhiyun crane v2 although it rarely gets used! I really only try to pull it out if I have a specific purpose for it. Other than that, I’m with you! Ibis in the a6500 and a few little hacks to keep things smooth. And I’m good to go! I totally get what you mean about the sit down videos. I think I enjoy doing both! Sometimes I don’t want the trouble of running around and it’s nice to just talk in one place. But sometimes it’s nice to adventure a bit!Cheers man! Thanks for the chat! I’ll see you in the next one!

    Just received my copy of this lens today and boy it is good. Extremely sharp even wide open, step it down a couple of notches and its even sharper. Just took several city scapes tonight at sunset and they all came out pin sharp. Very impressed. Not sure if the 30mm is as sharp as the 16mm but I am tempted to find out.

  • @bennielaars
    @bennielaars Před 5 lety +7

    I have the A6000 plus the Sigma and I'm very happy with it, it's fantastic for low light situations but sometimes too shallow depth of field if you take a picture of a group at the Christmas dinner table. If you do need to use flash then one minor drawback is that it blocks out the lower left part of the photo so you have to manually tilt the flash a little bit.

    • @dunnadidit
      @dunnadidit  Před 5 lety +1

      Yeah that’s definitely true, the on camera flash only really fully works with tiny lenses. The 16mm is not a large lens in the grand scheme of things but it still gets in the way. I only think I’ve ever used the on camera flash once on any of my Sony cameras though so it definitely hasn’t been an issue for me. Sorry it’s causing trouble for you!

    • @nicolask.3825
      @nicolask.3825 Před rokem

A little hyper energy at some points, maybe it's the high tempo of the music. But overall a great useful insight. Thank you

    I was recently in Japan and thought about buying this lense, but I mostly use my fullframe A7 III and i have a zeiss 16-35, so i allready have this focal length covered, because of that i forgot about this lens pretty quickly. I have a a6300 as a secondary camera and after i saw this video i kind of regret not buing one especially since it is almost 100€ cheaper in Japan (so it just costs 300€ there). At the same time, i think, that i am more interested in a fast prime with this focal length not this lens especially , so i might save up some cash and eventually buy a 24mm 1.4 or similar for my a7.
    (i bought an 50mm 1.1 instead for 250€ wich is a killer deal as well)

    Hello, good video! Do you think the 16mm f1.4 is necessary if I have a sigma 18-35 f1.8 art in an a6500? I do not think much difference from 24mm to 27mm in full frame mode but it is in my mind if I buy a second equipment or a gimbal.
    regards

    • @dunnadidit
      @dunnadidit  Před 5 lety +2

      Like you said, on a gimbal it’s a bit tough for the 18-35. But as far as a decent wide angle photography lens, I think the 18-35 is great. The quality is a bit better than the 16 and I didn’t mind the fact that it wasn’t quite as wide. Might be a bit redundant to have both as long as you’re ok with the size and weight of the 18-35.

      Yeah the 10-18 looks pretty awesome, although sometimes f4 just leaves something to the imagination and doesn’t quite do it for low light. However, a lot of people really love that lens so there must be something to it! I do love my 16mm though so I’d vote for that one! I am definitely going to do some color grading videos in the future! Thanks for asking! And thanks for watching!

    Hi! Thanks for the video.
    You mentioned the lense paired with the a6400 (or other models with no IBIS) should not cause any issues when taking photos. Can you still confirm it after more than a year?
    What would be the closest alternative to The Sigma 16mm but with lense stabilization?

    • @dunnadidit
      @dunnadidit  Před 5 lety +3

      I use this lens with my a6400 all the time. I also use it for video as long as I’m careful or have it on a tripod. I haven’t been able to find anything similar with OSS except for zoom lenses.

    • @chosenideahandle
      @chosenideahandle Před 4 lety +1

      If you watch your shutter speed hand held it's like any other lens on the planet (no problem). It's even less of a problem because it's so wide.

    • @okaro6595
      @okaro6595 Před 3 lety

      Without IBIS you may just need to use a slightly shorter shutter speed. With 1/60s you should manage always, by being careful and talking several shots if needed you should manage up to 1/15 s or even longer. Also remember that if the subject is moving IS is useless on short focal lengths as you need to use short shutter speed anyway.
