5 REASONS WHY THE SIGMA 30MM F1.4 IS “THE RIGHT CHOICE” FOR THE A6400 & OTHER A6XXX

Hey, I just got myself the same lens, Sigma 30mm f1.4 for my zv-e10 but I noticed the autofocus is quite slow. I noticed you don't have this issue when focusing on your face then the box. It takes some time for mine to focus even with a well lit room. And the noise from the focusing is quite noticeable. Any ways to fix this?

Assalam o alikum Brother ❤
I want to ask u that do we need flash with 1.4
And can u make vedio about flash photography some day

What would be the best ND filter on a sunny day for this lens?

Does it give a better Bokeh than the 16mm F1.4?

Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN

Sigma 30 mm f1.4 vs Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 what to buy ?

perfect video ! thx. subscribed + liked

Bro which is best
Sigma 30mm vs sony 50 mm

If I can’t get the bd filter wouldn’t it help to just grind down iso to maybe 100

sold my 35 sony 1.8 OSS and pick up the 30 signa and love it

💖

I think sigma should put 36mm instead of 30mm, because that way the sigma trio will be right with 16mm / 36mm / 56 mm , all ending up with 6mm and 20mm apart for each other

Is the manual focus quick and linear in reponse ? THank

suggest ND filter please

What is the lens hood really used for?
I have a canon m50 mark ii , I’m a beginner , and I just got this lens so I’m still learning.

I own a Sony 18-105g which lens should I go for next?

Hi there! Can you recommend what ND filter is best for this lens? I just literally ordered it after watching your video. Appreciate your response!

I have a a6400 with the 18-135mm, f3.5-5.6 kit lens and mostly do photography and not video. I want to buy a prime lens for the better sharpness and smaller f number (better bokeh and low light performance).
The choice is between Sigma 30mm f1.4 and Sony 35mm f1.8, the price being basically the same. Where the first seems to be sharper and better in low light but the second one has OSS.

So it basically boils down to the following question:
If I were to buy the Sigma lens (so no stabilisation), could I still shoot handheld pictures relatively well, also at lower light (say 10/11pm in a city street). Or is it better to go for the safer option and grab the Sony lens with OSS?

Thanks for the help.

Hey, thanks for this! As I only do talking head videos and have a very short distance between myself and the wall in front of me (90 cm, 35 in), I would need to fit the camera + the lens, which depending on the sigma 16mm or 30mm would mean having to subtract the camera+lens lenghts, so let's say 65cm/26in. Do you think this lens would work? What's the distance this lens needs to be from myself in order fo me to be in frame and not occupy the entire screen? Although I prefer the qualities of this one, would I have to resort to the 16mm? Thanks!

Looked at some of your videos but still cant decide between Meike and this Sigma.

Great video. Do you think this is a good lens for shooting a podcast with two talking heads in the frame?

What camera and lens are you using to film this video ?

went and subbed coz i was torn between 16 and 30

your videos helped me a lot

now i made up my mind

Hey mate, what specs and brand of nd filter do you use? Cheers

Awesome review, I have the 30mm on my GH5 and so far, it is good also.

I spent quite a bit of time comparing the Sigma 30 1.4 with the Sony 35 1.8. In my own evaluation I found them to be equal in sharpness, but the Sony 35 has OSS which I found to be the differentiating factor. I got more well focused images with the 35 1.8 than the Sigma. The sony 35mm 1.8 is also quite a bit smaller and lighter than the Sigma 30mm 1.8. However the Sony lens is quite a bit more expensive.

I have the Sigma trio and there is no question the 56mm 1.4 is one of the best lenses money can buy. The 16mm 1.4 is a great lens too. But the Sigma 30 was the least-best of the three. I finally sold the Sigma 30mm 1.4.

Another factor is the Sigma 18-50 f2.8 can be used at 30mm and it matches the performance of the sigma 30mm prime quite well. So with multiple lenses that cover the 30mm range quite well I just had to sell the 30mm 1.4.

Great video man! QUICK QUESTION: what is the distance between you an the camara to get the talking head shot from this video? (I know you used a sony a6400) ... thanks in advance

Brother please tell me it is better than Sigma 18 50 f2.8 please reply soon brother

Good points. I'm getting this lens soon. Probably, the only con about it is the lack of weather sealing. But that's not the end of the world.

Sony SEL50F18 APSC 50 mm f/1.8 Lens vs Sigma 30 mm f/1.4 Which one is better am so cofused.please help

Hello. What ND filter brand can we buy for Sigma 30?

Awesome 😊👌🏼. Now i have my eyes fixed on the 30mm f1.4 from sigma. Great videos once again, cheers Dan👍🏻

Great video, Dan! Nice versatile lens!

Love your videos!

I just recently got the a6000 and Im struggling between the 30mm and 16mm.

I mainly want to use my video to record gym videos. I don’t necessarily have to get full body shots but I also don’t want to have to back up too far. Any suggestions?

Ha ha...
Your conversation is so charming n funny at times.
👍
Yeah even I find this lense very decent for normal use 👍
🙏

Which one is Best Viltrox 23mm f1.4 vs Sigma 30mm f1.4

Great videos! I really enjoy learning from you. Can you do another a6400 and Sigma 30mm Contemporary talking head video showing distances and details like you did int the a6400 and Sigma 56mm Contemporary talking head?

Hello, I'm loving your content!
Been bing watching over here. 😅
However I'm struggling with lens. What lens should I get for my Sony a6400 for indoor portraits? If it has bokeh I'd be even more pleased.
I currently have the Sony 85 mm.

kuys what is the nd filter did you use?

Thankyou...i was confused with 16 and 30...i will now go with 30mm

Super helpful. Im getting the 16mm for my preordered ZV E10. When it crops (stablilized) it will be like the 30mm lol

You’re videos are awesome! I was between the 56 and the 30. Now I see that the 30 is more versatile for my needs.

Definitely purchasing this one pagkaupgrade ko from NEX 5n to an a6000. Convinced na convinced ako. hahaha

My 3 lenses for my a6400. Sony 16-50 OSS , Sigma 30mm 1.4, Sigma 56mm. Pretty much covers everything for me.

hi can you use this Sigma 30/1.4 to do SWEEP PANORAMA mode
with a6400 ?
