The sigma 16 mm F1.4 is by far my favorite lens. It just makes me feel good when I edit my videos. Great colors AND great portraits AND the creamy background AND the low light performance AND the auto focus AND the great price AND so on............ Definitely one of the lenses you can keep on saying (And) for all it's positive aspects.
I find the 18-105 to be the one I use especially for video. Versatile focal length, great OSS, constant f4, silent zoom and focus, parfocal, variable zoom toggle switch, internal zoom and focus and best of all you can find them for around $600 or even less today. Its not the sharpest lens for stills and its not a Zeiss but the lens represent a good performance and value.
I have both 18-105 and Sigma 16. Sharpness wise nothing comes close to Sigma but versatility is where it loses out and 18-105 is the clear winner there.
I use the 18-105 for only photography, and it barely ever leaves my camera , had some dust and condensation issues in it recently after 3 years of beating it around …. That’s my daily driver lens of all time 🙌
@@andreasyiangou84 | not really. It just gives you some reach. Using clear image zoom, the quality of the photo will also be compromised. But the photos could turn out to be "good" enough.
Couldn’t agree more. I purchased the Sony 35mm 1.8 and this Sigma 16mm for the A6000 when I started out in photography recently. Honestly, I rarely use the 35mm and shoot almost exclusively with the Sigma, I love it. Perfect focal length
Hi Nick! I'm 100% begginer on photography and videography. Does this Sigma 16mm 1.4 works good with regular photography, like landscape when traveling, or casual day to day photography? Thanks!
@@alono4473 It’s a great lens actually. If you’re ok with a single focal length. As I’ve upgraded lenses the last couple years I’ve gotten more into zooms. A great 3rd party option for Sony bodies is the lineup from Tamron. I would say with landscape, don’t limit yourself to only wide.
Hi Arthur. Based on your recommendations I've got myself sony sel 18-105 and sigma 16mm. I got tired of kit lens 16-50mm as the image quality is just acceptable but enabled me to develop my skills and see what I like the most about photography. I use 18-105 for all-round shooting and sigma 16mm for night/indoors photography. I use sony a6000 that doesn't have optical stabilization and for nighttime photography with Sigma lens at low shutter speed a tripod is a must. Sigma produces beautiful images if you know how to use your camera properly.
First of all : The Sigma 16mm is my favourite lens, too. I love the type of those videos where you review a lens but talk to some aspects of lenses or a video like this is even better! Great Channel :)
That feeling when the two lenses I own are the two lenses he mentioned as favourites in this video :O (Sony 35 1.8 and Sigma 16 1.4) Might've watched this channel a bit too much :P
I thought the same thing when i first bought it with my a6300. Great and versatile lens but it only represents what the human eye can see so it can be pretty boring as a prospective sometimes..
@@EPeltzer you are definitely not wrong about the 24mm instead of 16/35mm combo for FE. BUT I own a crop sensor camera and the crop factor plays a huge role when selecting a lens so FE is no good for me. Also the price! For a 24mm f1.4 I can buy a 16mm f1.4, a 35mm f1.4 and hell even a good VND to go with it!
The lens fits your style amazingly, awesome samples! I personally am very much in the 35mm look right now, after having preferred short telelenses for many years.
Has to be 18-105. In fact that lens is on my 6400 about 90% of the time. Only take it off indoors. I also have this Sigma 16 bought used. Great lens as well. I’ll take your suggestion to move back for portraits. Big noses are unflattering. I’m getting one of those filters too.
Not having OSS isn’t too big an issue for videos on a tripod and stills. For me the only thing stopping me from getting this wonderful lens is the large and heavy body. This lens is larger AND heavier than even the 18-135, making it a really difficult buy since I got the A6400 for its portability. I’ve heard so many good things about it though...
I think the Sigma 16mm is a good call. I agree. I have used some step rings and the new PolarPro PM ND filter and it works well. I'd maybe consider the 30 as a runner up.
Faiz M there are probably lenses out there with better image quality but it all depends on your budget. At 16mm the Sigma is far better and is not limited by F4. But you’re stuck at 16mm all the time.
@@michaelscaplis Totally agree with you! I've had and sold them all (30mm 1.4, 16mm 1.4, 18-105, and I'm still undecided between which one I should re get smh
As I use the a6500 most for family gathering photo, the Sigma 56mm F1.4 stays glued to the mount as it makes the best images of people with amazing separation. For all kinds of general street, travel, and event where you want to pull the whole background into view, the Zeiss 16-70mm f4 is the most versatile lens in the e mount aps-c lineup with lightning fast reliable autofocus, and snappy manual zoom to set the frame without having to move yourself through a crowd. Anyone will be super happy and get major use out of either of those but for different reasons. Any of the 30mm prime lenses are a nifty middle ground between the two, but the whole reason you got an interchangable lens camera was to avoid making compromises right?
Your videos are fantastic - I learned so much. I got A6000 by accident which renewed my interest in photography. I relied on your advice in so many cases - and you were spot on on every issue you covered that I had a pleasure of watching. feel I owe so much! Big thank you!
Kevin Pham Hi, did you have any problems with the a6500 because of the “screen diming” when doing 4k?? Thats what keeps me from buying that camera. BIG THANKS! 👋
Unfortunately, A6500 LCD dims whilst recording 4K. There is no way around it and I have to use viewfinder to shoot in bright sunlight conditions or shoot blind ( that’s why sigma 16mm is the best choice for my personal preference) . This “feature” is actually also present on some A7 cameras as well. But it’s not a big deal, still a good camera for travel.
I'm just curious....now (2yrs later) you also made a video on Sigma 18-50mm F2.8.....have you changed your mind? I'm a novice. Bought the 16mm F1.4 after watching your video. Which I love a lot. Been thinking if I should trade in and get the 18-50 F2.8 instead...please help! 😅
I got this lens of a monster cause of you! Definitely getting the filter! I’m the star of every party since low lighting lol always get asked for how good this lens is thanks bro!
I have this lens and done some videos on a Weebill Lab gimbal. It balanced very well. But now, I prefer to use Crane M2 for lighter traveling bag and this lens is harder to balance, and impossible to balance with ND filter ON. Now I got used ($500) 24mm 1.8 Sony lens (with v02 firmware) and that is perfect for Crane M2. I would say, that 16mm is too wide for general photography. You are right, it makes faces look exploded. 24mm would be a sweet spot. It is wide enough and not too close. Another thing I noticed, not sure it is a lens fault or A6500, but under low light condition, focusing is a heavier task for Sigma lens and it does more hunting, or not focusing at all.
When I got my first A6000 (added a second later) I watched several of your videos. I'm an old film shooter and naturally went to a Nikon D90 for digital until I really got the bug for smaller, but still great image quality. Seeing some of your lense reviews I started researching those primes more. I ended up with this lens. (And the Sony 35/1.8, and the Sony 50/1/8. the Samyang 12MM MF.) Back in my film days I found the Sigma lenses a bit soft and stuck with Nikon and Canon lenses for the most part. So I was a little leery of the name at first. The Sigma 16 is a very different beast from those of old. Nice glass and fast speed. The costs for sharp, contrasty, fast glass in general and especially for wide angle prime glass at 1.4 in those days was quite expensive. So those qualities in a lens like this in the $400 range is not a bad deal. Lug around a Nikon F4s and the 300/f4.0 lens a little and the Sony A6000 with this lens is a pleasant thing.
Great video, fantastic production quality. I would pick the Sigma 16mm-1.4 for outdoor work, the Sigma 30mm for indoor work (parties, conventions etc.), and the Sony 18-135 for a mixed environment in the daytime. Now that the Sony A6600 has dropped in price, the addition of IBIS makes the Sigma trio even better. I am blown away with the pictures I've been able to capture in low light with the Sigma 16 and 30mm.
I own both the Sigma 16 f/1.4 and the Sony 18-135mm. In my experience, the Sony 18-135 has considerably better and faster autofocus, you obviously have greater range, and the photos are (generally) sharper since the autofocus works better. You also don't suffer from lens flare, which is a bit of an issue with the Sigma 16, and the obvious barrel distortion (but that's easily fixable with Lightroom). The 18-135 issue is that it's marketed as a f/3.5-f/5.5 aperture, but most of the zoom is f/5. Obviously that makes night time shots much more difficult unless you really crank up the ISO. I think I'd probably like the 18-105 f/4 more than the 18-135, but I don't own it. The Sigma f/1.4 16, however, is a considerably better /night time/ lens. If I'm recording from dusk to dawn, I'll bring my Sigma 16mm. Astrophotography, Sigma 16mm, handsdown. In the Grand Canyon, a 30 second exposure at ISO 100, I actually got the Andromeda Galaxy and a visible milky way. Comparing the two lenses: ISO 400 at f/1.4 with Sigma 14mm at night is about equivalent to ISO 3200 at f/4 with the Sony 18-135 at night.
I just traded my 16 mm in yesterday for the 24 mm 1.4 I was thinking that When I owned the 12-24 Sony I was almost always at 24mm and 12 was too crazy wide. The 35 was a little too tight so the 16 mm has been great. I traded it in since it's a 24 equivalent and figured if I use my A7III more than my A6500 it would just make more sense to have a lens that works better with both cameras then using the crop lens on a FF body.
I recently switched brands away from Sony and sold my A7iii and A6600. I absolutely had to keep just one body and lens; the A6400. Because I love the Sigma 16mm f1.4 on that camera. They were made for each other. Its a superb combination.
The one lens that I need to have is...... Sony RX100 V! Still the best 1" camera with amazing 315 pdaf, w/24-70 F1.8 to F2.8 lens, 960 fps 4k video, Eye AF, 24 fps burst, EVF, & 180 degrees flip screen. But really, on a serious note it is the Sigma 30mm F1.4. SIGMA FTW!
Hi Arthur! My favourite lens is the 18-105mm from sony. ;) But this prime lens is very interesting and has just been added to my wishlist ;) Thanks for your videos! Great job!
One of my favorites is the Sony FE 85mm/1.8. It takes great portraits. Not so much a universal video lens tho. But the Sigma 16mm/1.4 is strong there. Body is an a6500.
Great video! Since I don’t have the Sigma 16, I have to go with my Sony OSS 18-135. My needs are more travel (some on a motorcycle) and outdoor photography related, and since sometimes I don’t have a lot of time to change lenses on the go having the variable focal length is helpful. I have the a6000 and together this is great for lightweight gear. Pair this with the low light capable 35, and I have it all covered.
wife has bought me this today really looking forward to using, always use your channel when looking for new lenses etc , my go to channel , thanks for all the videos much appreciated
Good video, BUT... I am always annoyed by the choppiness of a slow frame rate (24-30) and high shutter speeds with no motion blur as can be seen at 4:19, etc.
I personally love both of them, but I can't really take an only 1 prime lens on my trip. The 18-105 was on my latest trip, and its size is a bit annoying
This is very tempting, but I bought an E mount in the first place to have a lighter, less bulky / conspicuous camera than my full frame. The Sigma 16 1.4 is significantly heavier & bigger than its competitors, so it can hardly be considered to be an ideal E mount lens. The Rokonin 21 1.4 in particular looks like a good alternative (if you don't mind manual focus :) ).
@@SONYAdicto the things is, I mostly use my camera on the move, and I don't usually know beforehand what I'm going to shoot. I need a zoom. If you can find me an f1.4 zoom with an 18-105 range I might consider it, but how huge and expensive would it be ? Meanwhile, I can bring the 18-105 anywhere including concerts and get good photos and videos in almost any conditions. It's the most universal lens Sony makes. I also like that it doesn't extend when zooming.
Jean Roch it’s all about the versatility vs quality...for me quality gives the kick to shoot more than the flexibility...I just used both the lenses in my Lake Tahoe trip and the pictures you get with sigma is addictive...with the 18-105 zoom lens I used it only for zoom shots and the sharpness I got on them were not so inspiring for me...thinking of selling 18-105 and get another sigma zoom lens of longer focal length...I just wish sigma makes zoom lens with the high aperture...will be ready to sell every other lens and go for it 😀...try sigma see it for urself...it’s a blessing for song aps-c line up
My first and still only interchangeable lens camera I've owned is the A6000. Love the camera and I own many a lens from kit up to the Sony 18/105 f4. But just like you I find myself always go for the sigma 16mm. Bought used and fell in love with it the first time I took a photo with it.
Pretty much agree with you totally. I prefer the 30mm for everyday carry/Run around stuff. I had the 16mm first and found for me it was a tad too wide for me so got the 30mm. Really can’t go wrong with either it just comes down to what you mainly do. I don’t do video but for vloging I would definitely say the 16mm is what you want.
Another amateur question, I am beginner in videography: why is it better to use constant shutter speed and using ND filter to control brightness instead of let the camera decide the shutter & ISO? For ISO I understand it is best to keep it at a relative low level to avoid noise in lowlight situations. What is the effect of keeping shutter at a constant value of 1/2xframerate ?
I have the new Sony a7C black body camera. Will get the Sony G 20mm f1.8 as it's perfect for any lighting condition and 20mm covers the whole visual field of view which the Human eye has, which is about 22mm (according to Google). Sony New Zealand is currently selling the 20mm f1.8 for NZ$1,598. It'll make a great 1st lens for my new full frame toy.
Arthur R it’s a little clumsier than everyone gives the impression of it being on UA-cam. However it is super convenient I particularly like it for making shotgun microphones wireless. I would say it would speed up your workflow enormously.
I like the new format! A change from the usual living room :-). I think my favorite lens is the Sigma 30mm f/1.4, although the Sony 18-105 f/4 G is a favorite as well. In the end it all depends on what you’re intending to shoot, but the 30mm is attached the most to my camera, so I guess I’ll go for that one.
I own the Sigma 16mm, the Sony 18-105mm and of late the Sony 24-240mm, I have to say the 24-240mm is sensational as a do it all lens, despite the variable aperture, the bokeh at the long end is incredible and the lens is oh so sharp up to 200mm. It's a little big on the A6400, but still useable and soooo versatile.
I purchased Sony 55mm f1.8 seeing your recommendation and it hasn’t came off my camera in 12 months! Great recommendation. Now you mention this one - I’m going to buy it. Thank you
I have four lenses for my a6400. Three Sigmas (16, 30, & 56mm) and a Rokinon 12mm. I bought the Rokinon to have just a little wider angle then the 16 for some landscape shots. All purchased based on your recommendation and I love them all. The Rokinon is my latest one and I used it for the first time last week on a Hawaii trip and was very pleased with the results. Even more so then I expected to be. Maybe I just got an excellent copy but I feel it performs better then your review lead be to believe it would. Not that you gave it a bad review. If you had I wouldn’t have bought it, but mine wide open is very sharp in the corners with almost zero chromatic aberration. My next purchase? The variable ND filter you reviewed which I will order right after I post this. Thank you for all the work you do and your honest and excellent reviews Arther. You’re definitely my “go to” guy for photography.
Used, but for travelling I prefer the 18-105 f/4, It Is my "all in one lens" . In my opinion is the one that do the best job (just photography) on my a6000. Also it has the OSS that I think on the a6000 it's a "must have" . Anyway, nice new production, I've bought 3 of the lens that you reviewed on this channel and never changed them (the adapted Pentax 50mm and the 7art. 25mm). Thank you, you're doing a nice job 😄😉
A year ago your video convinced me to get a sony a6000 and with your lens reviews, I decided to buy a sony 35mm f1.8 prime and a sigma 16mm 1.4 lens. Without question, these two lenses do 99% of the work but if I could pick only one, then I'd go with the 35mm f1.8 lens. And btw, I didn't even bother to buy the kit lens, at f4 they're too limiting during those night shots. Prime lenses all day everyday for me.
Thanks Arthur for your review. I am a non native speaker (from the Netherlands). I really like your style of reviewing, speaking in a way not too fast, and without that terrible dialect that many US and UK reviewers have. At the moment I own a Nex 5, still doing the job well. Next year I want to purchase an A 6600 and the Sigma lens. Thanks for your advice.
It’s still my favorite lens even after moving over to full frame. I just recently got the Sony 24mm 1.4 in hopes that It’d give me that wow factor but the jury’s still out.
Unlike commentator Sarrgas Music below, I watched Arthur R too little too late. For my photographic circumstances, a single 16mm just can't meet even half of my needs. When I did use only one lens in the old 35mm film days, it was a 28-85mm. I modernized by getting a Sony A99 and stuck an old Minolta Maxxum 24-85mm on it. The last time I went out, traveling light, I took the A6000 with a Zeiss 12mm and 16-70mm. The longer end of the zoom was wasted by about 20mm. In conclusion, my perfect one E mount lens outing would be something akin to a 24-85mm. Thanks for the very excellent presentation, perfect delivery and organization. Great!
I'm a Nikon guy who has been using Sony a6000 (acquired used) with only a 20 2.8 pancake lens attached to it. It's my go-getter lens and camera combo I use more often to shoot construction (my business) sites. I'm not much into Sony imaging considering I have my Nikons.
I picked up an open boxed, excellent cond from Best Buy. Based on a few of your videos. It seems very clean, and yes sharp. I still have an ancient by todays standards a6000, and had a wad Of cash from vacation days I didn’t take last year. Looking to do something with it that I’ll remember For a few years, that I normally would not be able to justify. Thanks for the reviews on UA-cam. Not everyone has the extra cash or muscle strength to go full frame, or wants to.
First of all, thanks for keep the track volume in the same volume as your voice, I loose 1% of my hearing everytime I watch a video with soundtrack. Now answering your question, if I had to choose one it would be my bulky SEL18200 (18-200mm 3.5-6.3). I know is big, heavy, not great in low light, ugly mounted in the camera, expensive, but man, versatile as no other lens I tried, I go from landscape to action sports, from a wedding to a bird watching in no time.
The best option for that money. New 16-55 2.8 and 70-350 from sony are real treasures though. Its not always possible to be close to subject or to get the background you want with one fov without zoom, forget macro with everything in focus, dragonfly, birds and distant phenomenons. I would go for tamron 18-200 or sony 16-105, but new lens are way sharper and better in zoom, even though you need 2 and are pricy.
the sigma 30mm f1. 4 because it is the field of view of the human eye and it is cheaper, lighter and smaller than the 16mm f1. 4 you chose (is it as sharp as the 16mm ?)
I got the same lens and took it with me to Alaska. I made my first night sky photos with it. Very impressive and inexpensive lens. A must have for Sony APSC cameras.
Hi Arthur. Thanks for all the videos. Just got an A6000 and loving it. Definitely going to get this lens. One more thing...what lapel mic are you using? The audio is excellent.
whichever it is, looks like it has a wire 😣 if you are into lapel mics consider picomic dual wireless, I did several test videos with it, fantastic, but pricey
Bought this sigma16 lens after seeing your video 1 year ago. And i am using the similar k&f 2-in-1 filter (Variable ND +CPL). This combination has since always on my A6000. Love your video reviews.
As much as I use primes for a few projects, my passion is travel so I look for a small camera and lens package that is capable of a variety of shots. That's why a 24 - 70 f/2.8 spends 95% of the time on my full frame and a 17-70 f/2.8 stays on my Sony a6XXX series of cameras. So while I love the 16mm f1.4, it's a specialty lens for dawn and evening shooting.
I’m a GH5 user and I’ve the MFT version of this lens, on my camera 90% of the time! Needless to say, with the IBIS you can even make great footage just handholding it, with pleasant bokeh using the right NDs 😊
My favorite is the sigma 30 f1.4, followed closely by the sigma 16 f1.4 Next is an adapted canon ef-s 60mm f2.8 macro - which is an incredible and very sharp lens. For some pics the samyung 12mm f 2 is appreciated. I love my sigma 150-600 for bird pics and the compression, however it is slow to af when adapted with mc11 onto a6300, so challenging for birds in flight. I have the sony 18-105 f4, but honestly this lens gets left behind most days as the sharpness and micro contrast can just not compare to the sigmas. I do take it sometimes for a walk around, especially in bright conditions where stopping down helps and the zoom is appreciated. I can see how people would love it for video. Would also have been nicer if it had a closer min focusing distance. If I had only one lens for apsc, then I would propably look at the new sony 16-55 f 2.8 g, especially when price comes down. if it is close to the sigmas, then that would make a very light hiking, travel combo. Fortunately we are not limited to one lens most of the time.
Im your big fan, I saw your video many times, your videoes colour quality the best than others.I want to know that how will you take video that are so awsome colour, sharp, so daynamic. how you take, camera setting, edit etc,,,please
Great video man! Love your work. My 16mm just arrived yesterday and I’m loving it. Thanks for the suggestion on the filter I’ve been looking around and I’ll go with this one.
How about for Fuji XT3? Especially for photo journalism and video but more video? I currently have the Mitakon 35 mm 0.95 but it’s too limiting unfortunately focal wise
I just got my 6400 and use the Sony 18-200 from my Nex VG 30. It is a bit heavy but compact, oss and motorised zoom. The kit lens from the 6400 makes the Nex a very handy videocamera with super microphone and handle.
The sigma 16 mm F1.4 is by far my favorite lens. It just makes me feel good when I edit my videos. Great colors AND great portraits AND the creamy background AND the low light performance AND the auto focus AND the great price AND so on............ Definitely one of the lenses you can keep on saying (And) for all it's positive aspects.
This lens has auto focus ?
@@CarpinchoLopez yes. It does
I used sigma 30 mm 1.4 with sony a 6400 for night time indoor video shoot ,but all videos suffered from lens breathing.What should i do?
About to get 16mm sigma... can you really get great portraits?
I find the 18-105 to be the one I use especially for video. Versatile focal length, great OSS, constant f4, silent zoom and focus, parfocal, variable zoom toggle switch, internal zoom and focus and best of all you can find them for around $600 or even less today. Its not the sharpest lens for stills and its not a Zeiss but the lens represent a good performance and value.
I have both 18-105 and Sigma 16. Sharpness wise nothing comes close to Sigma but versatility is where it loses out and 18-105 is the clear winner there.
I use the 18-105 for only photography, and it barely ever leaves my camera , had some dust and condensation issues in it recently after 3 years of beating it around …. That’s my daily driver lens of all time 🙌
Love the new production quality, very professional!

The Sigma 16mm is a Beast of a lens, especially for video!
also for photoprapy ?
Its crazy expensive 😐
Thanks Arthur. Now I'm sure that this lens will be on my A 6000.
Good job. I'm waiting for next video.
Greetings from Poland. 😄
For photography the 30mm f1.4 is the only lens I can't live without, for video the 16mm f1.4, for travels the 10-18mm f4 + 50mm 1.8 oss.
nice, I agree
Yes Yes! Thats the way
Clever choice. I've recently acquired this lens and it's very versatile especially when you start using the *clear image zoom* feature.
So if you start using clear image zoom you basically have the 30mm sigma as well?
@@andreasyiangou84 | not really. It just gives you some reach. Using clear image zoom, the quality of the photo will also be compromised. But the photos could turn out to be "good" enough.

I have one bout to get the Sigma😲
I have both as well. Technology Mafia totally sold me. The Sigma 16 lives on my camera.
Same!
Bro, i have 18-135 kit lens (a6400), Please recommend me something, how you compere sony 35mm 1.8 with Sigma 16mm 1.4 ?
Hi sir, would you advise to just get one or the other and not both? (to keep cost down) or is it worth it to have both
Thanks to your great advice, I bought the Sigma 16mm 1.4 and it lives on my Sony a6400. Thanks Arthur, you’re a life/money saver!!
I love all 3 of my sigma trio with my a6500. I like the 56mm the best!
The 56 for your “only lens”, if you could choose one?
In also interested in why the 56?
The Sigma 30mm f1.4 would be the one for me, just because I hate the big noses in potraits :D
courteous Sammy agree
I thought the same thing when i first bought it with my a6300. Great and versatile lens but it only represents what the human eye can see so it can be pretty boring as a prospective sometimes..
which is exactly why if Sigma made a 24/1.4 it would be the perfect Sony lens. As it is you have to choose either 16 or 30. Oy.
@@EPeltzer you are definitely not wrong about the 24mm instead of 16/35mm combo for FE. BUT I own a crop sensor camera and the crop factor plays a huge role when selecting a lens so FE is no good for me. Also the price! For a 24mm f1.4 I can buy a 16mm f1.4, a 35mm f1.4 and hell even a good VND to go with it!
Does anyone know why sigma hasn’t released a 24mm 1.4 for aspc?
The lens fits your style amazingly, awesome samples! I personally am very much in the 35mm look right now, after having preferred short telelenses for many years.
Has to be 18-105. In fact that lens is on my 6400 about 90% of the time. Only take it off indoors. I also have this Sigma 16 bought used. Great lens as well. I’ll take your suggestion to move back for portraits. Big noses are unflattering. I’m getting one of those filters too.
Not having OSS isn’t too big an issue for videos on a tripod and stills. For me the only thing stopping me from getting this wonderful lens is the large and heavy body. This lens is larger AND heavier than even the 18-135, making it a really difficult buy since I got the A6400 for its portability. I’ve heard so many good things about it though...
I bought the 35mm 1.8 after your recommendation and love it. Just started to get into photography and will be taking it on vacation soon.
I think the Sigma 16mm is a good call. I agree. I have used some step rings and the new PolarPro PM ND filter and it works well. I'd maybe consider the 30 as a runner up.
Only 1 Lens, then Sony 18 - 135.
Is 1 in all.
Like your channel👍.
I have the 16mm but I would rather keep my Sony 18-105 F4 for the versatility in focal range.
Pascal Michiels and oss
Will it good for wedding?
Welner Zuleta indeed
Faiz M there are probably lenses out there with better image quality but it all depends on your budget. At 16mm the Sigma is far better and is not limited by F4. But you’re stuck at 16mm all the time.
@@michaelscaplis Totally agree with you! I've had and sold them all (30mm 1.4, 16mm 1.4, 18-105, and I'm still undecided between which one I should re get smh
As I use the a6500 most for family gathering photo, the Sigma 56mm F1.4 stays glued to the mount as it makes the best images of people with amazing separation. For all kinds of general street, travel, and event where you want to pull the whole background into view, the Zeiss 16-70mm f4 is the most versatile lens in the e mount aps-c lineup with lightning fast reliable autofocus, and snappy manual zoom to set the frame without having to move yourself through a crowd. Anyone will be super happy and get major use out of either of those but for different reasons. Any of the 30mm prime lenses are a nifty middle ground between the two, but the whole reason you got an interchangable lens camera was to avoid making compromises right?
Your videos are fantastic - I learned so much. I got A6000 by accident which renewed my interest in photography. I relied on your advice in so many cases - and you were spot on on every issue you covered that I had a pleasure of watching. feel I owe so much!
Big thank you!
Sigma 16mm f1.4 and Sony a6500 is a perfect combo for run n gun travel videographer/ vlogger in 2019 👍🏼
Kevin Pham Hi, did you have any problems with the a6500 because of the “screen diming” when doing 4k?? Thats what keeps me from buying that camera. BIG THANKS! 👋
Unfortunately, A6500 LCD dims whilst recording 4K. There is no way around it and I have to use viewfinder to shoot in bright sunlight conditions or shoot blind ( that’s why sigma 16mm is the best choice for my personal preference) . This “feature” is actually also present on some A7 cameras as well. But it’s not a big deal, still a good camera for travel.
I'm just curious....now (2yrs later) you also made a video on Sigma 18-50mm F2.8.....have you changed your mind? I'm a novice. Bought the 16mm F1.4 after watching your video. Which I love a lot. Been thinking if I should trade in and get the 18-50 F2.8 instead...please help! 😅
18-50 range is way more practical, but 16mmf1.4 is a solid keeper, btw f1.4 passes through 4x more light than f2.8 ;)
@@mirrorlessny thank you! I bought a new lens in the end: Sony SEL35mm F1.8
I rock with this lens on my a7III as my solo! Ends up being 24mm, but it still works as a very "vrsatile" lens! 👌🏽😄
I bought this lens based on your videos and this lens is amazing. Thank you for that.
same here :-)
Filip Kavan so did I it’s a monster of a lens!!
I got this lens of a monster cause of you! Definitely getting the filter! I’m the star of every party since low lighting lol always get asked for how good this lens is thanks bro!
I have this lens and done some videos on a Weebill Lab gimbal. It balanced very well. But now, I prefer to use Crane M2 for lighter traveling bag and this lens is harder to balance, and impossible to balance with ND filter ON. Now I got used ($500) 24mm 1.8 Sony lens (with v02 firmware) and that is perfect for Crane M2. I would say, that 16mm is too wide for general photography. You are right, it makes faces look exploded. 24mm would be a sweet spot. It is wide enough and not too close. Another thing I noticed, not sure it is a lens fault or A6500, but under low light condition, focusing is a heavier task for Sigma lens and it does more hunting, or not focusing at all.
1:52 please everybody say: Congratulations!
Why, may I ask?
Best video of Arthur R... From a production quality perspective 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
When I got my first A6000 (added a second later) I watched several of your videos. I'm an old film shooter and naturally went to a Nikon D90 for digital until I really got the bug for smaller, but still great image quality. Seeing some of your lense reviews I started researching those primes more. I ended up with this lens. (And the Sony 35/1.8, and the Sony 50/1/8. the Samyang 12MM MF.) Back in my film days I found the Sigma lenses a bit soft and stuck with Nikon and Canon lenses for the most part. So I was a little leery of the name at first. The Sigma 16 is a very different beast from those of old. Nice glass and fast speed. The costs for sharp, contrasty, fast glass in general and especially for wide angle prime glass at 1.4 in those days was quite expensive. So those qualities in a lens like this in the $400 range is not a bad deal. Lug around a Nikon F4s and the 300/f4.0 lens a little and the Sony A6000 with this lens is a pleasant thing.
Great video, fantastic production quality. I would pick the Sigma 16mm-1.4 for outdoor work, the Sigma 30mm for indoor work (parties, conventions etc.), and the Sony 18-135 for a mixed environment in the daytime. Now that the Sony A6600 has dropped in price, the addition of IBIS makes the Sigma trio even better. I am blown away with the pictures I've been able to capture in low light with the Sigma 16 and 30mm.
Thanks for guide me through this, now i have A6400 with sigma 16mm and its amazing!
Sony 18-135mm is my favorite lens~~
That's a good versatile option
whats advanges this lens
@@umairahmad1703 I cover a lot, for aps-c is about 32-200mm, it has OSS. But I suggest 18-105mm f4, is cheaper with fixed F4
I own both the Sigma 16 f/1.4 and the Sony 18-135mm.
In my experience, the Sony 18-135 has considerably better and faster autofocus, you obviously have greater range, and the photos are (generally) sharper since the autofocus works better. You also don't suffer from lens flare, which is a bit of an issue with the Sigma 16, and the obvious barrel distortion (but that's easily fixable with Lightroom).
The 18-135 issue is that it's marketed as a f/3.5-f/5.5 aperture, but most of the zoom is f/5. Obviously that makes night time shots much more difficult unless you really crank up the ISO.
I think I'd probably like the 18-105 f/4 more than the 18-135, but I don't own it.
The Sigma f/1.4 16, however, is a considerably better /night time/ lens. If I'm recording from dusk to dawn, I'll bring my Sigma 16mm. Astrophotography, Sigma 16mm, handsdown. In the Grand Canyon, a 30 second exposure at ISO 100, I actually got the Andromeda Galaxy and a visible milky way.
Comparing the two lenses: ISO 400 at f/1.4 with Sigma 14mm at night is about equivalent to ISO 3200 at f/4 with the Sony 18-135 at night.
Just got the SEL35f18 for the A6000, has to be my choice for 1 and only!
Photos like the Kamlan 28 but easy as the kit lense :D
I just traded my 16 mm in yesterday for the 24 mm 1.4 I was thinking that When I owned the 12-24 Sony I was almost always at 24mm and 12 was too crazy wide. The 35 was a little too tight so the 16 mm has been great. I traded it in since it's a 24 equivalent and figured if I use my A7III more than my A6500 it would just make more sense to have a lens that works better with both cameras then using the crop lens on a FF body.
I recently switched brands away from Sony and sold my A7iii and A6600. I absolutely had to keep just one body and lens; the A6400. Because I love the Sigma 16mm f1.4 on that camera. They were made for each other. Its a superb combination.
The one lens that I need to have is......
Sony RX100 V! Still the best 1" camera with amazing 315 pdaf, w/24-70 F1.8 to F2.8 lens, 960 fps 4k video, Eye AF, 24 fps burst, EVF, & 180 degrees flip screen. But really, on a serious note it is the Sigma 30mm F1.4. SIGMA FTW!
Hi Arthur! My favourite lens is the 18-105mm from sony. ;) But this prime lens is very interesting and has just been added to my wishlist ;) Thanks for your videos! Great job!
I got this lens and returned it due to its purple fringing. Look at the building balconies at 1:34. Purple! The clouds have some purple cast as well.
One of my favorites is the Sony FE 85mm/1.8. It takes great portraits. Not so much a universal video lens tho. But the Sigma 16mm/1.4 is strong there. Body is an a6500.
I love that lens, that's my go to lens too. Focusing is very fast and low light is awesome.
Great video! Since I don’t have the Sigma 16, I have to go with my Sony OSS 18-135. My needs are more travel (some on a motorcycle) and outdoor photography related, and since sometimes I don’t have a lot of time to change lenses on the go having the variable focal length is helpful. I have the a6000 and together this is great for lightweight gear. Pair this with the low light capable 35, and I have it all covered.
wife has bought me this today really looking forward to using, always use your channel when looking for new lenses etc , my go to channel , thanks for all the videos much appreciated
Good video, BUT...
I am always annoyed by the choppiness of a slow frame rate (24-30) and high shutter speeds with no motion blur as can be seen at 4:19, etc.
I will choose sigma 16mm or sony 18-105 f4 .
I personally love both of them, but I can't really take an only 1 prime lens on my trip.
The 18-105 was on my latest trip, and its size is a bit annoying
You’d be surprised at how versatile the sigma 16mm is. That’s pretty much the only lens I own other then my 16-50 kit lens.
The 18-105 F4 is the most flexible. For video the lens is a must imo
Wow I also have the Sony A6400....Sigma 16mm 1.4 and the same K&F Filter!!!!....Arthur ,you have great taste!
This is very tempting, but I bought an E mount in the first place to have a lighter, less bulky / conspicuous camera than my full frame. The Sigma 16 1.4 is significantly heavier & bigger than its competitors, so it can hardly be considered to be an ideal E mount lens. The Rokonin 21 1.4 in particular looks like a good alternative (if you don't mind manual focus :) ).
Bought one a few months ago and don't regret. the sharpness is astonishing...
Wow! This was really an eye opener for me. I am amazed that 16mm can be used for portraits so well ... the pic at 2.32 min is amazing!
I use the 18-105 f4 PZ almost exclusively.
If you haven't tried an f/1.4 lens you've been missing out. Once I did with my A7 III I sold my f/2.8 and f/4 lenses.
@@SONYAdicto the things is, I mostly use my camera on the move, and I don't usually know beforehand what I'm going to shoot. I need a zoom. If you can find me an f1.4 zoom with an 18-105 range I might consider it, but how huge and expensive would it be ? Meanwhile, I can bring the 18-105 anywhere including concerts and get good photos and videos in almost any conditions. It's the most universal lens Sony makes. I also like that it doesn't extend when zooming.
Jean Roch it’s all about the versatility vs quality...for me quality gives the kick to shoot more than the flexibility...I just used both the lenses in my Lake Tahoe trip and the pictures you get with sigma is addictive...with the 18-105 zoom lens I used it only for zoom shots and the sharpness I got on them were not so inspiring for me...thinking of selling 18-105 and get another sigma zoom lens of longer focal length...I just wish sigma makes zoom lens with the high aperture...will be ready to sell every other lens and go for it 😀...try sigma see it for urself...it’s a blessing for song aps-c line up
i want same blur as your this video. Can you tell me the lens name
you can get blur with any lens, try opening the aperture as well as shortening the distance to subject in focus
@@mirrorlessny which one zoom lens is best for a6400 at low price? (bird and wedding photography)
My first and still only interchangeable lens camera I've owned is the A6000. Love the camera and I own many a lens from kit up to the Sony 18/105 f4. But just like you I find myself always go for the sigma 16mm. Bought used and fell in love with it the first time I took a photo with it.
I bought this lens based on your recommendation for my a6400 and love it!
Are you satisfied with the portrait photography?Is there distortion in the portrait photos?
sony 18 105 is my current telezoom that i love
Yep, it's also mine beloved lens, but I'm waiting for an 2.8 lens
The sony 18-135 is my favorite for versatility and compactness so far. I'd love to see you review some super long lenses too like the sony 100-400 :)
Same. I have both but I use the 18-135 way more. Only use the Sigmas for portraits and night shots in most cases.
I have the 18-135 and I love the form factor, underrated lens for sure.
I took the 18-135 and sigma 16 to Europe for 6 weeks on my a6300 and was very happy with the results. Sold all that gear and gone a7iii now though.
sico I’m about to do the same
@@BigBoss-gb4cx So which sigma you use with 18-135, I also have 6400 with 18-135 and seeking another good lens which one will you recommend ? Thanks
Pretty much agree with you totally. I prefer the 30mm for everyday carry/Run around stuff. I had the 16mm first and found for me it was a tad too wide for me so got the 30mm. Really can’t go wrong with either it just comes down to what you mainly do. I don’t do video but for vloging I would definitely say the 16mm is what you want.
Another amateur question, I am beginner in videography: why is it better to use constant shutter speed and using ND filter to control brightness instead of let the camera decide the shutter & ISO?
For ISO I understand it is best to keep it at a relative low level to avoid noise in lowlight situations.
What is the effect of keeping shutter at a constant value of 1/2xframerate ?
I have the new Sony a7C black body camera. Will get the Sony G 20mm f1.8 as it's perfect for any lighting condition and 20mm covers the whole visual field of view which the Human eye has, which is about 22mm (according to Google). Sony New Zealand is currently selling the 20mm f1.8 for NZ$1,598. It'll make a great 1st lens for my new full frame toy.
My one and only is the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 (one of the others of the trio!).
Currently I have the Sony 10-18mm, Sony 50mm and the Sigma 30mm.
Nah. Sigma 18-35 1.8 all the way. Great autofocus now on the a 6400 and great versatility. Love the vids Arthur. Keep it up 👏
Its a good lens no doubt, but the AF is noisy for any on-camera mic.
Arthur R I now only Ulises the wireless go so all good here. I own the sigma 16mm too!
Thats good. How do you like the wireless go? Ive been debating buying it.
doesnt it require converter?
i'd rather go for Sigma 14-24mm 2.8 E-Mount
Arthur R it’s a little clumsier than everyone gives the impression of it being on UA-cam. However it is super convenient I particularly like it for making shotgun microphones wireless. I would say it would speed up your workflow enormously.
I like the new format! A change from the usual living room :-).
I think my favorite lens is the Sigma 30mm f/1.4, although the Sony 18-105 f/4 G is a favorite as well. In the end it all depends on what you’re intending to shoot, but the 30mm is attached the most to my camera, so I guess I’ll go for that one.
Hey man! Do you recomend the 30mm lens for travel video, nature and street photography?
@@alirezasadeghi3830 it’s a great lens, but for video you probably want some form of stabilization as the lens doesn’t have it.
I own the Sigma 16mm, the Sony 18-105mm and of late the Sony 24-240mm, I have to say the 24-240mm is sensational as a do it all lens, despite the variable aperture, the bokeh at the long end is incredible and the lens is oh so sharp up to 200mm. It's a little big on the A6400, but still useable and soooo versatile.
Tossing up between this and the 85mm lens. Which ones better for youtube and portraits?
I purchased Sony 55mm f1.8 seeing your recommendation and it hasn’t came off my camera in 12 months! Great recommendation. Now you mention this one - I’m going to buy it. Thank you
I have four lenses for my a6400. Three Sigmas (16, 30, & 56mm) and a Rokinon 12mm. I bought the Rokinon to have just a little wider angle then the 16 for some landscape shots. All purchased based on your recommendation and I love them all. The Rokinon is my latest one and I used it for the first time last week on a Hawaii trip and was very pleased with the results. Even more so then I expected to be. Maybe I just got an excellent copy but I feel it performs better then your review lead be to believe it would. Not that you gave it a bad review. If you had I wouldn’t have bought it, but mine wide open is very sharp in the corners with almost zero chromatic aberration. My next purchase? The variable ND filter you reviewed which I will order right after I post this. Thank you for all the work you do and your honest and excellent reviews Arther. You’re definitely my “go to” guy for photography.
I actually purchased all my prime lenses after your recommendations :)
Used, but for travelling I prefer the 18-105 f/4, It Is my "all in one lens" . In my opinion is the one that do the best job (just photography) on my a6000. Also it has the OSS that I think on the a6000 it's a "must have" . Anyway, nice new production, I've bought 3 of the lens that you reviewed on this channel and never changed them (the adapted Pentax 50mm and the 7art. 25mm). Thank you, you're doing a nice job 😄😉
I think 18-105 is also a good “if I can have only one” lens at almost similar pricing. I would like to see a vlog style video with 16 mm sigma.
A year ago your video convinced me to get a sony a6000 and with your lens reviews, I decided to buy a sony 35mm f1.8 prime and a sigma 16mm 1.4 lens. Without question, these two lenses do 99% of the work but if I could pick only one, then I'd go with the 35mm f1.8 lens. And btw, I didn't even bother to buy the kit lens, at f4 they're too limiting during those night shots. Prime lenses all day everyday for me.
Thanks Arthur for your review. I am a non native speaker (from the Netherlands). I really like your style of reviewing, speaking in a way not too fast, and without that terrible dialect that many US and UK reviewers have. At the moment I own a Nex 5, still doing the job well. Next year I want to purchase an A 6600 and the Sigma lens. Thanks for your advice.
Awesome! Netherlands is a beautiful place. Thank you for watching!
that would be my #1 wish list lens for my new sony a6400.. just waiting for someone to but my tokina 11-16mm though before i can but that lens..
It’s still my favorite lens even after moving over to full frame. I just recently got the Sony 24mm 1.4 in hopes that It’d give me that wow factor but the jury’s still out.
Unlike commentator Sarrgas Music below, I watched Arthur R too little too late. For my photographic circumstances, a single 16mm just can't meet even half of my needs. When I did use only one lens in the old 35mm film days, it was a 28-85mm. I modernized by getting a Sony A99 and stuck an old Minolta Maxxum 24-85mm on it. The last time I went out, traveling light, I took the A6000 with a Zeiss 12mm and 16-70mm. The longer end of the zoom was wasted by about 20mm. In conclusion, my perfect one E mount lens outing would be something akin to a 24-85mm.
Thanks for the very excellent presentation, perfect delivery and organization. Great!
I'm a Nikon guy who has been using Sony a6000 (acquired used) with only a 20 2.8 pancake lens attached to it. It's my go-getter lens and camera combo I use more often to shoot construction (my business) sites. I'm not much into Sony imaging considering I have my Nikons.
I picked up an open boxed, excellent cond from Best Buy. Based on a few of your videos.
It seems very clean, and yes sharp. I still have an ancient by todays standards a6000, and had a wad
Of cash from vacation days I didn’t take last year. Looking to do something with it that I’ll remember
For a few years, that I normally would not be able to justify. Thanks for the reviews on UA-cam.
Not everyone has the extra cash or muscle strength to go full frame, or wants to.
First of all, thanks for keep the track volume in the same volume as your voice, I loose 1% of my hearing everytime I watch a video with soundtrack.
Now answering your question, if I had to choose one it would be my bulky SEL18200 (18-200mm 3.5-6.3). I know is big, heavy, not great in low light, ugly mounted in the camera, expensive, but man, versatile as no other lens I tried, I go from landscape to action sports, from a wedding to a bird watching in no time.
The best option for that money. New 16-55 2.8 and 70-350 from sony are real treasures though. Its not always possible to be close to subject or to get the background you want with one fov without zoom, forget macro with everything in focus, dragonfly, birds and distant phenomenons. I would go for tamron 18-200 or sony 16-105, but new lens are way sharper and better in zoom, even though you need 2 and are pricy.
Because of the APS-C crop, my go to lens is now the 10-18 (16-27mm ) which seems to fit the majority of my shooting needs, especially with video.
the sigma 30mm f1. 4 because it is the field of view of the human eye and it is cheaper, lighter and smaller than the 16mm f1. 4 you chose (is it as sharp as the 16mm ?)
amanieux both plenty sharp but AF is not as good on 30mm I believe. Also he choosed sony 35mm over it.
@@lukazupie7220 true i remember the video where he compared the sigma 30 f1. 4 to the sony 35 f1. 8. ua-cam.com/video/wffYWgj8VYQ/v-deo.html
This and the Sigma 30mm F1.4 are the only lenses I have for my A6500.
Tamron 17-70 f/2.8 - sharp, versatile, VC (OSS analog). Such a good lens!
I got the same lens and took it with me to Alaska. I made my first night sky photos with it. Very impressive and inexpensive lens. A must have for Sony APSC cameras.
Great video. Your 2 models are adorable! I've been looking at this lens. Might have to grab one.
Hi Arthur. Thanks for all the videos. Just got an A6000 and loving it. Definitely going to get this lens. One more thing...what lapel mic are you using? The audio is excellent.
whichever it is, looks like it has a wire 😣 if you are into lapel mics consider picomic dual wireless, I did several test videos with it, fantastic, but pricey
I think exaggerating the nose in close-up shots in inevitable with 16mm lens. Great video!
Bought this sigma16 lens after seeing your video 1 year ago. And i am using the similar k&f 2-in-1 filter (Variable ND +CPL). This combination has since always on my A6000. Love your video reviews.
As much as I use primes for a few projects, my passion is travel so I look for a small camera and lens package that is capable of a variety of shots. That's why a 24 - 70 f/2.8 spends 95% of the time on my full frame and a 17-70 f/2.8 stays on my Sony a6XXX series of cameras. So while I love the 16mm f1.4, it's a specialty lens for dawn and evening shooting.
Great video I bought this lense based on your recommendation! Going to give it a try next month in Banff
I’m a GH5 user and I’ve the MFT version of this lens, on my camera 90% of the time! Needless to say, with the IBIS you can even make great footage just handholding it, with pleasant bokeh using the right NDs 😊
My go to is Sony 50mm/1.8 - I use it for everything from art digitization to band photography!
Just got one myself a couple weeks ago, absolutely love it.
Love this lens, but I find the focus motor is REALLY noisy.
Right now my one and only lens would be the Sony 35mm F1.8 which really is a great lens 😍
I went to Europe with the Sony 35mm F1.8 only; took the best pixs ever with my A6000; didn't miss a shot changing lenses.
Thats great! I am just a little insecure, whether I would miss the zoom at city trips..
Awesome video.
Still a good lens for Sony a7c?
fyi be sure to check lens coverage, Sigma16f1.4 is apsc while a7C is full frame, it will work but there are some negatives
My favorite is the sigma 30 f1.4,
followed closely by the sigma 16 f1.4
Next is an adapted canon ef-s 60mm f2.8 macro - which is an incredible and very sharp lens.
For some pics the samyung 12mm f 2 is appreciated.
I love my sigma 150-600 for bird pics and the compression, however it is slow to af when adapted with mc11 onto a6300, so challenging for birds in flight.
I have the sony 18-105 f4, but honestly this lens gets left behind most days as the sharpness and micro contrast can just not compare to the sigmas. I do take it sometimes for a walk around, especially in bright conditions where stopping down helps and the zoom is appreciated. I can see how people would love it for video. Would also have been nicer if it had a closer min focusing distance.
If I had only one lens for apsc, then I would propably look at the new sony 16-55 f 2.8 g, especially when price comes down. if it is close to the sigmas, then that would make a very light hiking, travel combo. Fortunately we are not limited to one lens most of the time.
Im your big fan, I saw your video many times, your videoes colour quality the best than others.I want to know that how will you take video that are so awsome colour, sharp, so daynamic. how you take, camera setting, edit etc,,,please
Great video man! Love your work. My 16mm just arrived yesterday and I’m loving it. Thanks for the suggestion on the filter I’ve been looking around and I’ll go with this one.
How about for Fuji XT3? Especially for photo journalism and video but more video? I currently have the Mitakon 35 mm 0.95 but it’s too limiting unfortunately focal wise
I just got my 6400 and use the Sony 18-200 from my Nex VG 30. It is a bit heavy but compact, oss and motorised zoom. The kit lens from the 6400 makes the Nex a very handy videocamera with super microphone and handle.
