Hi there still on a6400 in 2022!!
A6400, mostly happy, but I wish it was more usable… if the Sony took a page from the Fuji xt range with all manual dials I’d totally grateful.
At least you were not trying to find sunshine in feb in England!
I still want a 70-200 2.8 equivalent (or tbh I wouldn’t mind an f4, while it has limitations my 18-105 Sony f4 has done some good… but) I’m looking forwards to see what tamron
/sigma do with that style
a6000 wanting to upgrade to a7IV
A6400 with sigma 28-70/2.8, but I'm about to upgrade to the Sony A1
For beginners I’d argue get this zoom instead of 3 primes - why? Because you have no way of predicting what the picture composition would be like at different focal lengths and it’s just impractical to swap lenses so frequently. A zoom can help you see the effects right away so it’s the choice.
I picked up the Sony 70-350 on boxing day here in Canada for a fantastic price for my a6600 and have loved it. Been eyeing this 18-50 to pair with the Sony to cover a lot of vases for my upcoming trip to the Philippines later this year. Thanks for the helpful review!
Such a gorgeous lens!! You did a great job showing it off too 👍🏼
I was waiting for this review! Thank you ❤❤❤
Absolutely fantastic video, Jason :). So thorough, fun, lively, and helpful. I just got this lens (Sigma 18-50mm) for my Sony A6600. So, I primarily bought this lens because I'm starting to do videos overseas with the Crane m3 (I wanted the smallest gimbal possible that could work with my Sony A6600 camera. The Sigma 30mm works great but I wanted something more wide. I tried the Sigma 16mm---really too long and heavy for the crane m3 gimbal. Also, no flexibility--just a prime. I sacrificed the 16mm wide open aperture for the lighter weight, great image quality, and flexibility of a zoom all the way to 50mm. This is such a nice lens for the small gimbal.
Picked up this lens over Christmas. I bought this to replace my 16-50 kit lens and I will say that it was worth it. Going from the kit lens I was impressed with the build quality and feel as well as the sharp images. And of course the f2.8! My main drawback was there being no image stabilization. But taking more photos than video it shouldn’t matter.
Which camera do u have
a6400
Since the kit lens and the sigma one share almost the same focal length, can you really spot the improvement in picture quality?
Thinking about upgrade to this one too with the same 6400 & kit lens, I’m afraid that I might not be able to really notice the differences
Also, because 6400 doesn’t have ibis and this sigma lens doesn’t have stabilization either
How’s shooting video with it feels like? Do you find that as a problem that you will need to work your way around?
@@jackenboot short answer, yes. the difference in sharpness and also the low light performance as you're getting a way brighter aperture, which arguably the more important reason to upgrade from the kitlens
Thank you for recommending the sigma 1.4 trio for kit lens user. Saving me so much time from wondering which should i get first. 😁
Love your reviews and your energy! Super helpful videos 🙌
Always love your videos bro thank you for this review.. I was just looking at this range.
thanks for watching! :)
I picked up the lens a few weeks ago and have to say I'm impressed. It seems as good as the older EOS Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 despite being tiny in size in comparison. Flare resistance, corner sharpness, fringing are all much better controlled on the new lens. I'm using it on the a6600.
One note is that you need to enable vignetting and distortion control if you shoot raw on it as it's not meant to be used without it. Those parts of the corners are intended to be cut off and it's still the advertised focal length.
Dude, I REMEMBER that 17-50mm f/2.8. It was game changer for me 10 years ago. I never bought it but I always borrowed it from a good friend of mine 🤣 it's handy as hell
@@JasonVong Ha, yes I bought it about 2013 when I started video as it had OS unlike my former Tamron 17-50mm f2.8.
I didn't intend to replace this lens as it's still excellent (have shot magazines, websites and even postage stamps with it and a number of documentary films), I just wanted a light lens with video AF. Due to a quirk in Japan's tax system I could pick it up for about $300. Color me impressed with this latest Sigma!
Thanx for the video Jason, got me thinking about lens set up for ZV-E10 👍😀📷
I got both the Sony 16-55 and the Sigma 18-50, but I only use the Sigma lately because of the weight. Image quality is excellent and handling is perfect with my A6600. To have a little more zoom I take my RX100 VI with me as well when travelling.
I have the Sony 16-55 and I think it's probably the best zoom lens I ever owned.
I wonder how close is the Sigma in optical performance from your experience?
The other (bigger, heavier) Sony zooms MIGHT be sharper if you pixel peep, but I make11x14and 16x20 prints of my best pictures, and the Sigma 18 to 50 is just fine at that level.
Small, light, plenty fast, I love it.
Wish they made it in Canon M mount.
such a helpful review. thank you!
Glad you got to go to the Sky Garden for sunset. Truly a beautiful London experience
We booked for two days chancing one would be a day of sun and it was 🥰
Its good to see Major players are pushing out more and more affordable quality zoom lenses for APSC Cameras which make the relevant.
Thanks for this really good and informative video. Helped me a lot to make my decision ❤
This was really dope work Jason! And welcome to London homie 🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♀️
Had a blast! Tell London to get some sunshine in the next time I come back!!
your review is just the best man. great review potato jet 😈
Thanks again! Wonderful and informative !
I just bought this sigma to upgrade from the 16 to 50 kit lens on my a6300. I am hoping the picture qaulitt will be a bit sharper. I will take the kit with me when i travel because it is tiny and light weight and can be switched onto the camera if i find my self needing wider shots.
Another great review! Thank you so much.
I've had the 18-50 2.8 for a month. It is the only lens I've used, including two portrait shoots. I'll use my 56mm when I want the ultimate sharpness or need the low light feature. I'll use my 16mm for the rare occasion I need some more wide angle and low light. Otherwise this nifty little lens is going to be my every day lens. Great for travel.
.

Just bought the A6700 with this lens, and the upgrade from my old A6000/Sony 18-55 3,5-5,6, is huuuge!! The A6000 is still a capable camera, but the combination of eye-detect af, ibis and the 2,8 aperture and much sharper optics, my new package is a revelation!!😃
Hi, do you feel the lack of OOS in this lns when you are shooting video with it?
@@fellouss It would depend on your camera body. If your camera has IBIS(A6500 or better) i dont think youd feel the lack of OSS as much as if your camera lacked IBIS (A6400 and lower)
This is what I am planning on doing so this is very good to hear
Excellent review, you have a new fan !
Extra primes? I like the combo of 18-50mm with the Sony 85mm f/1.8. The 85mm f/1.8 gives me an approximate 127.5mm equivalent which is great as a short telephoto and for head and shoulders portraiture. The Sony 85mm is a pretty lightweight lens for its capabilities,
Great review! Very helpful! Thanks!
For me, Sigma would the one I would buy. I would make a great travel camera lens with my Sony A6600. Sigma's Fast F2.8 18-50mm zoom would cover over 85%+ of my travel photos. Also, Sigma's great close focus (great for closeup pictures in museums, flowers/nature, or food blog posts ) saves the need for a separate macro lens. The Sigma's 18-50mm low weight also helps so you can carry a smaller more travel friendly gimble and the price makes the Sigma my 1st choice. Now if I had school age children who were evolved sports, school plays /music recitals, etc where extra telephoto reach would be handy having, the Tamron 17-70mm would be my choice
I’m guessing that you are faaaaaar too young to remember Straker. He was my hero as a five and six year old.
Got it and already love it. It's a great ready-to-go all day light-weight setup with any Sony camera.
All this lens need is a new APS-C body, hopefully sometime this year.
c'mon 4K60 APSC Camera!!!
Nice that you tried it on a full frame
I can't wait to go to dubai right now after my work just to get this lens I've been dreaming to have since last year, your review is as good as always you are my favorite GO TO DUDE when it comes to anything I need specially in photography.
Thanks for this
Now i can comfortably get the primes
Thank you Jason for covering the focus on both Sigma and Sony. I've been wanting to know about it and I've made my mind up to save up for the Sony because I'm a guilty pixel peeper and nothing makes my heart flutter than getting photos with good IQ! More power to you and Vivian! Rewatching the video again 🤣
Appreciate the re-watch! 😁 Sony 16-55mm G is always a good benchmark for these other zoom lenses. The quality is just there! There's no denying it! And sometimes that's worth paying 3x the cost! Have fun with the Sony!
Find it almost impossible to believe you would pay x 3 times the Sigma price?
@@robertcudlipp3426 Especially not when you can have the Tamron 11-20 and either the Sigma 18-50 or the Tamron 17-70 for less money. Great lens Sony. But not worth it. If it was in the $800 to $900 range, I’d probably bite…. But $1400!?! Sorry!
I just got the ZV-e10 at the end of November and have loved it so far! I’ve been mostly shooting on the kit lens for all of my content and a Samyang 35mm f1.8 lens, but really looking to upgrade to some better over all glass.
I have the Crane M3 so I want to be sure I’m getting the best lens that’ll also adapt with it and have also considered the Tamron 17-70mm. From your experience, does the Tamron still work well with the Crane or is it too much for the gimbal to handle? Thanks Jason! Your videos have helped a ton with my decision making regarding the ZV-e10 & accessories!
Thanks for the informative Video. For this price this lens is a no-brainer. I'm looking forward to get my hands on it.
i hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for this great video 😊
Concerning stabilisation, do you think Sigma 18-50 or Sony 16-55 would work great with a a6400 for photos only? What about low light situations?
I've been using the a6100 kit lens, sigma 16mm F1.6, Samyang AF 45/ 1.8 FE, and the Samyang AF35/ 1.4 FE. I've mostly been using the 16mm. I love it a lot. I recently had a dropping accident and it is now in 2 parts. It split near the part where it connects to the camera. The camera still works 100% fine and the lens is not cracked. So I hope if I go to a camera store they can repair it. I've been wanting to add a zoom lens to my line up and with my 16mm being down I decided to try the sigma lens featured in this video. Just got it today and I already love it. I do a lot of landscape and street photography. My favorite places to shoot though are the Zoo and Kings island (Local amusement park). Also my favorite time to go shoot these places are during the winter when they put up the Christmas lights. So I do a lot of low light shooting and I hope the 2.8 will be good enough to get some amazing shots of the lights.
I used both for several days. The sigma seems more contrasty with saturates colors. I didn't like the barrell distortion the shorter focal length produced. The autofocus was insanely snappy for me, and it was so compact. The images felt editorial like...nice character, and you could adjust the colors to produce nice images. The sony is just a super zoom that acts almost like a prime; the images are just perfectly sharp. It kinda sucks not being able to play with the macro like capabilities that the sigma has....but at every focal length the sony is basically perfect. I enjoyed playing with the sigma more, but the sony produced some images that I'm very happy with. I could probably do the same with the sigma though...and now I'm debating whether to go back to the sigma or not, lol.
Hey ! I saw that you liked both the sony 16-55 and sigma 16-55 did you ever go back to the sigma ?? I have the sigma 18-50 and thinking about getting the Sony because I’m finding the 18 not wide enough and was gonna buy the sony 15mm prime but sent me down a wormhole where maybe I needed the 16-55 lol
This didn't show up on my youtube feed, glad I saw it on insta.
smh CZcams, messing me up here! Glad you caught this!
Just bought the A6700 with the Sigma 18-50 f/2,8, and must say: It`s fantastic! Light, portable and tack sharp! Edge to edge! 😃
Hey, I have the A6000 and I'm thinking of buying the A6700. What camera did you have before and how's the A6700 in terms of AF and low light environments?
@@Winkelknife I had theA6000 before, and the AF is much, MUCH improved. Lightning fast, dead on target, and the eye/human detection is pure magic! Low light performance is also improved, a bit cleaner result. Not much, but clearly noticible. And the new battery/grip, paired with the new front dial, makes it much more comfortable to use. Together with the Sigma 18-50, the upgrade is massive! 🙂
It would be great if make a direct comparison with the Sony's 18-50mm kits lenses, since this Sigma could be an upgrade from begginers like me.
Personally, I've never heard about that other expensive lenses you talked on the video, and for it's price I wouldn't even consider it an option.
I have the Sigma 56mm 1.4 and love it, but not for in doors and close ups. Been looking for a lens that does close up and long. This might be the perfect versatile solution.
Ain't it grand! A couple years ago, the only real standard zoom option was the Sony/Zeiss 16-70mm F4. Great range, ok IQ, but F4 on a crop body is pretty dim for a one lens solution. Now we have almost too many choices! I had the Tamron 17-70/2.8 until a few weeks ago. Great lens but if I'm going that large, I'll just go FF. I still have the Sony 16-55/2.8, and I love it, but this little guy is calling my name. Decisions, decisions. Knowing me, I'll probably end up with both.😁 BTW, excellent video Jason but you're going to need to mark on your table manners! Ha Ha!
hesitating between this sigma 18-50 and the tamron 17-70, would prefer 70mm but the tamron was really too heavy for me.. hard to make the decision..
I owed both the A6600 and the sigma 18-50 f2.8 and I am impressed with the sigma. Yes the Sony 16-50 is sharper, however for travelling, city breaks, taking to venues the sigma wins all the time. It is light, compact, very cheap for performance over price while the Sony is better, it is bigger, heavier and a lot more expensive !
I also own canon 7dii and few L grade lenses. Using a sigma mc-11 adapter I mount the Canon lense on the A6600 and the results are impressive. My last outing was to bushy park taking shots of deer and stags using sigma 150- 600 contemporary canon ef mount on my A6600,. Results again very impressive as the eye detection is why I purchased the A6600 !
Great edit
i would have liked a 16-56 f2.8 and it probably could have been the same size (+/- a bit) as the 16mm f1.4, but i understand the decision not to canabalize the 16mm and 56mm primes, but i think most would get the full series
(16, 23, 30, 56 f1.4s and 18-50 f2.8) anyway. I have the 56 for portraits and chose the 16-50 as a compact walkaround (arriving today!) for an upcoming trip.
I can't wait for the rumored new sony 6700/7000 aps-c. This lens will be great for it. I'm hoping for a 6700 over a 7000 which would be more of the FF body
I have the Sony 1655G lens, but still got the Sigma 1850 for 2 reasons - small/light weight and close focus. If I want full range, I pair it with Tamron 1120. I still bring out the 1655 when I want one lens to cover from 16mm (24mm equivalent). I find the Sony just a tad better in image quality. Keep up the good work Jason!
100% agree with you. I'm actually debating between this or the Sony for my a1 for ultimate versatile zoom lens. I can overlook the quality difference for $550.
so how do you decide when to bring the 16-55 or the 18-55?
@@fcurcic When I want a one lens setup with 16mm (24mm FF), my only choice is the Sony 1655. If I want the best image quality, again Sony 1655. Otherwise, Sigma 1850 for its light weight and compact form factor. If I'm walking or cycling a distance, definitely the Sigma 1850.
@@JasonVong after using the Sigma for a while, I find there's a bit of distortion even on jpegs at the wide end, compared to the Sony 1655. It's light and convenient but the Sony is overall better, as it should be.
this is actually a perfect lens for zve1 with dynamic stabilization
When you want a really good review, here is the best guy for it:Jason Vong!
Hey thank you for the video!!
I was wondering, how does the 18-50 on APS-C compares with a 28-70 on an A7IV in terms of image quality?
Good video, thanks for sharing it. God bless you! 😊🔥👍🏼
Hello Jason, thank you for your review.
I found in my copy of the lens three dust particles behind the front lens. I've asked a few more owners, they also found dust particles. This is certainly not critical, but psychologically unpleasant. Plus this story with Sigma 24-70 Art and how easily it sucked in dust. Have you encountered something similar?
My fave is still the 18-35 1.8 soooo awesome
good ol' reliable!!
Excellent review. Love the multiple "but what about the" compressions with other lenses.
Glad to hear that! I debated if I should add all that info at the end since the video was stretching but I’m happy to hear that is needed 😁
Por sua causa comprei as três lentes sigma. Dessa vez não vai ser diferente 😅
Excelente vídeo!!!
This lens really makes me want to switch back to aps-c. The ZV-E10 with this lens would be a perfect vlogging or b-cam setup and an incredible value!!
If you can afford it it matches colors on the 35mm sized Sonys well enough to use side by side.
@@rsmith02 hey thanks, that’s super good to know! I have been doing more vlogging and definitely feeling the desire for a more compact setup when I’m out with friends and family as well. Loving these smaller, modern options!
Dude..
Are U a sorcerer or something? You clearly read my mind and the questions I had...
1. Should I get the Sigma primes - 16, 30 n 56mm or should I just go with the Sigma 18-56mm
2. Also I was thinking of the Tamron 17-70mm as well...
One question I have is the filter system... I have a K&F square filter system... Since the Sigma 18-56mm extends in the front on the longer range, can I still be able to use the square filter system?
Really appreciate your help mate!
Excellent video. What about instead of sigma prime 16mm use sigma 10-18mm f/2.8?
I'm planning to buy zv-e10. I have heard the kit lens is not so good. So planning to buy just the body and a lens separately. I'm a beginner and i have a budget only for 1 lens. Should I get one of the primes ? 16mm/30mm/other or spend a bit more and go for a zoom lens something like Sigma 18-50? Mostly for travel photography, cityscapes and portraits.
These are really exciting lenses and have become my go-to recommendations for people getting into Sony APS-C. I already have the Sony G series F2.8: 16-55 and G Series F4: 18-105; Thus, based on your others and your review, I will use GAS for the Trio set and skip the Tamrons or Sigmas.
Side note: Your channel production quality is amazing; the entertaining way you talk about scenes and practical situations is really engaging,
Currently I use a6600, ZV-E10, and ZV-1 for portability. I need to find tutorials to really get a refresher on some things. I struggle to get the E10 to work on the M3 via the USB-C cable.
ALSO: Your Tutorial 6600 was awesome. It really helped me learn my camera and dial in good default settings to grow from. Now when I start a project I feel confident knowing what the 6600 can do with its software and hardware, you provided a great base to build from. Thank you!
Can't wait for Sigma 18-50 for X Mount!
Welcome to London. Do visit the Garden at 120. It’s a rooftop with amazing views of London. Great for sunset shots.
I didn't include it too much in this video, but we got some GREAT shots up there!
Ooo, looks nice and small enough to replace the kit 16-50mm for travel use
Got the Sigma 16mm 1.4. Love this lens. Looking for the best zoom lens for my a6400.
Torn between the Tamron and this one. Weather, stable are good points. Is it work $250?
Hi Jason great video, question, would the 17mm -70mm work on the Sony a7iii would you recommend? As I’m debating between this 18-55mm or the 17-70mm but not sure it’s compatible with the Sony a7iii
I got my 18-50mm 2 months ago and totally loves it on my a6000, accidently I got 18-50 after 56mm f1.4 just like you said in your video 😂. I experienced myself but still love your review 💪
thinking abt buying the 18-50mm after my 30mm 1.4 😅
great content, may I ask what gimbal are you using in the video? thanks!
yeah i wanna know too.
Just bought it for my FX30 along with the Sony 11mm 1.8
The only lens I have attached to my A6400 since I bought it. Left behind Canon FF with a bunch of lenses. It does the job 90% of the times and bokeh is good if can play right with DoF. If you want portability this is a go to. If you want super bokeh then this is not the proper lens.
Great video! Do you know if the Zhiyun Crane M3 can handle the Sony ZV-E10 plus the Tamron 17-70? The weight and size of the Tamron is keeping me from getting it despite the built-in stabilization.
This was a fantastic review. I'm contemplating the Sigma 16mm 1.4 for my a6400 and this has given me some food for thought in terms of options.
What u end up getting
@@itsyoboig3325 Haven't picked up one yet.
hey man. have you used this lens with a remote focus puller? i'm just wondering if there's a workaround for having the focus ring so close to the camera body. cheers dude
..bought Tamron 17-70 for my A6400 due to OSS / VC - stabilization feature. I have Sigma 30mm 1.4.
Hi. Jason, appreciate if you could advise on the telephoto lens of 70-200 (f4 or f2.8?)
Hi Jason, do you think 16-55 weight and size are really deal breakers when compared to Sigma? If price isn't an issue. I kinda like that 16mm, so I dont need to carry another lens. I do travel a lot with either my 20L backpack or 6L sling.
Jason,
Love your videos.
I have a question for you.
What sony full frame lens would you recommend for shooting videos of stationary cars? The interior close ups and exterior as well, sort of a visual review, what lens would you advise me to get?
Fantastic video, thanks for giving comparisons to the Sony and Tamron zooms AND sigma trio primes, all of which I'm considering.
APSC lenses are small enough to begin with. I don't think the lighter weight makes up for the reduced versatility against either the Tamron 17-70mm or the Sony 16-55mm (the latter of which also has OSS).
Would you be willing to do a full comparison between sigma 18-50 and tamron 17-70?
Im moving from Nikon to Sony, basically because I need a camera with no limit on video recording. I'm planning to start with the Sony 6600. Is this sigma lens the best option to start getting my sony lenses? or should I go for the Tamron instead?
Would you still say this is the best compact zoom lens for Sony's E Mount today? Thinking of pulling the trigger on this.
I like the broll takes. Great video
thank you!
I have the Sony a6400 with the kit lens and I must say the recommendation is much appreciated
Glad this helped!
Great Video, i've been actually thinking about getting the Tamron 17-70mm because of the OSS.
Do you think the Crane M3 can balance the Tamron in combination with the ZV-E10?
no that would be too front heavy
@@JasonVong so tamron 17-70 with a6600 and crane m3 = No go ? 😟
hey, i just picked up my first camera (zv-e10) without the kit lens, I'm planning on doing travel videography and some photos
do you think the sigma 16mm and 18-50mm would be a good starting combo?
Why dont you consider the Sony 18-135? Its far slower but its small, good AF, IQ is excellent and it is stabilised. Great if you are traveling and dont want to switch lens. I use it with conjunction with sigma 16mm and 30mm. I find that I end up carrying the 16mm especially when I know I am doing landscapes and night shots, I rarely seem to use the 30mm (which is excellent) which I had got for street photography as I find the 18-135 works for me in most cases. Only time I miss is when I need extreme bokeh but then there are ways around.
By itself I have found it quite good would like to see a side by side comparison with the 2.8 lenses
If travelling (frequently) became a thing again then this sigma will make sense. Rocking Primes for now Sigma 16mm 1.4 och Sony 35mm 1.8. Returned the Tamron 17-70mm as it was massive and heavy.
Would you recommend for product photography? Been thinking of getting this led for product photography for my Sony a7iii
what kind of gimbal you use?
Hi Jason, may I ask a stupid question?
For the Sigma 1850 2.8, can use in normal (FF mode)? Or there are shadows in corners that only able to be used under ASPC mode?
Moreover, is lens compression 50mm or 75mm at tele end? (Is the 75mm view angle achieved by optic or simply cropping photo)
I am thinking to buy a7c + sigma 1850 2.8, the compact form factor, has 18-50mm (up to 75mm in ASPC mode) can cover majority of use scenarios
What the best lens for sony fx30 videography for food blogger?
What about the Sony 16-50mm Kit Lens ?
hey jason what was that app called that gives you the great photo locations i saw it in another one of your videos but cant find it?
Do you still use APSC very often? I sold my A6600 after getting A7IV, but I miss the smaller lenses.
Wow great focus breathing. How's the focus breathing on the sony 16-55 2.8?
Hey Jason....Whats the accessory to carry the camera on the shoulder?
hi guys, how does the lens work with A6400 + Crane M3 in 4k 24p ? No slowmo. Rock stable ? No shake ? Or better to go for Weebill S and Tamron 17-70mm 2.8 VC? Thanks.
Great vid Jason!
I got my a6400 few days back with 16-50mm kit lens. Which lens do you suggest for all-round travel lens? I was looking at 18-300 Tamron as I also love to shoot birds and wildlife during travel.
A good zoom and a fast prime will be best. Pair that 18-300 with a Sigma 16 f/1.4. Trust me you will need f/1.4 especially indoors in cafe/restaurants.
If I may add a suggestion. Give the Sony 70-350mm G a very close look. I've been using this lens for birding for the last couple years and I can't recommend it highly enough. Sharp, sharp, sharp. It is weather sealed and image stabilized, which you will really appreciate with your A6400. Build quality and image quality are a big step up from the super zooms, like the 18-300mm. It has an AF/MF switch, an image stabilizer on/off switch and an AF lock button which I have set to toggle between wide area tracking (birds in flight) and small flexible spot (perched birds, flowers, landscapes etc). It's not a one lens solution like the Tamron 18-300 if that's what your looking for, but it's a tremendous lens. It sells for $998 new but you shouldn't have any problem finding it for under $800 used.
currently A6000 with Sigma 30 mm f1.4 and sony 85mm f1.8 ,
planning to move to full frame so my next lens would be Tamron 35-150 f2-2.8 .
thats a big boi!
