    It would be amazing if manufacturers provided T-stop values for their products. The primary reason I will pay more for fast lenses is because even accounting for light transmission differences a 1.4 should be brighter than a 2.8. I love the night so I go for fast glass in the hopes that the T-stop isn't too far off. The option to get good subject separation with a thin plane of focus is a juicy bonus.

    Thanks for showing some love to this lens! It's great for the price but most reviwers out there I think they test it all wrong. This thing only has 5 elements and was designed for vlogging/environmental portraits om the cheap. That means far/infinity focus is compromised and it probably has plenty of field distortion because of the simple build, so test shots of landscapes or architecture often make it look really bad. Not saying sony can't make ot better but it is definitely better than the kit lens at what it does best.

  • @bcpetersjr

  • @mihaiserbanescu8676
    @mihaiserbanescu8676 2 роки тому +6

    Sigma is legendary. F1.4 is absolutely amazing, even though on a regular basis, you can't vlog at F1.4. It's super overexposed and too sharp, the F1.4 would probably be best for studio work, live streaming, shooting in low light etc. Focus though, absolutely rubbish. Very heavy for vlogging.
    Sony, I haven't tested it yet, it's in the mail but it seems to offer 85% of the sigma at much much less weight and most probably a better focus. In my case, the sigma would not balance on my small gimbal, but the sony would. So there you have it.

    Hello!
    I recently purchased the Sony zv e10 camera. It's my first camera ever (i want to use it for filming my youtube video's), so I am absolutely clueless about camera's.
    When I start my camera, it doesn't film anything. It's very blurry and you can only see the colors changing, but I can't actually film with it. Is this because I didn't attach an extra lens to it? I thought I could use it without buying a lens.
    Or maybe it's something in the settings? I feel like an idiot but if anyone knows please let me know.

If F-stop isn't an issue then the kit lens is great, light, and still get the job done. Just my thoughts. If I didn't have the kit lens, then yes, I might invest in a Sony prime 16 but for vlogging or talking points on a tripod.

    I don't know where you can find the Sony lens that cheap, but in Canada, the cheapest for that Sony lens is $200 used. In my opinion, the $300 difference is worth it. Where it isn't worth it is the size of the lens. That Sony is way smaller. And I feel like if you're shooting 16mm at f/2.8, then you might as well just shoot with the kit lens at 3.5. It's prob even less noticeable than the difference between these 2 lenses. The Sigma also crushes the Sony in low light being a full 2 stops faster. That's the difference between shooting at ISO 12800 and ISO 3200.

    A quick tip about the sigma 16mm lenses that you might not know because I didn’t know and there is almost nothing on the Inter. I just purchased this lense to used on a Sony ZV-E10 and unfortunately and be aware, this is a fix lense, meaning you cannot zoom in and out on the ZV-E10 and also you cannot use the digital zoom that comes with the camera because is not compatible unless you mess about with the function on the camera. That’s the only way that you can use the zoom in and out feature from the camera but not the lense.

    There is a big difference, The fact is when you shooting in low light the Sigma 1.4 will work better and produced desirable footage as the F2.8 will not and you will have to use a noise reduction shortwave that will make your footage softer and that is a no when you have to do commercial work.. you will need more light. in fact, your background light is flickering. in the perfect condition where you control the light, this isn't a big deal. also, the sigma lens is sharper than the sony.

      No. Both these lenses will be natively compatible. They are all E mount as is the A7S.

      Keep in mind that both lenses are E mount, meaning they are made for crop sensor and will leave a circle if used with a full frame camera...

    So basically you just compared the Sony 16mm used vs the Sigma 16 brand new. Thats some **
    The actual difference is like 150 dollars so the 2.8 lens is totally not worth it except for the size.
    If you try to compare the used market the sony goes for like 100 and the sigma for like 250-300 so still 150$ more for a brighter - sharper - better quality lens.

    i think the only difference is that the sigma takes in more light from the backlights, and it is slightly warmer. But overall, not much of a difference in my opinion. For someone on a budget, the Sony lens does the job well

      Agreed. If I don't win the gear kit this month (which is 99% likely), I'll start out my new setup with a ZV-E10 and the Sony 16mm... It seems decent enough and can still be used as a b-roll side-angle camera later on when upgrading to a more expensive setup.
      Most of the differences in color can be adjusted with simple color corrections.

Honestly the sigma trilogy on my a6600 is so top tier that I don't think I'll be moving to full frame for a couple of years. I swear the boca makes you just "look like a UA-camr". Highly recommend.

    IMHO the Sigma 16mm F1.4 is a better lens overall. And I mean way better. But the Sony SEL 16F28 is good enough to post pics and videos on social media without going nuts cropping or pixel peeping like crazy because sharpness pefection wonderful ultraclear mastershot bokeh... And in some applications that sharpening of everything is not needed. Or even non desirable.
    For potraits and detailed landscapes, street photography, low light stuff... I would choose the Sigma (I did). No brainer. But for taking casual pics of whatever easily and print them, uploading videos or photos, using the thing con controlled ambients... a cheaper lens would do the job good enough. Many of us have even 1080p screens on our PC´s, or consume videos and photos on small screens where 1080p looks OK. I mean, if I´m consuming photos on Instagram quickly, it doesn´t matter if I´m seeing them on HD or 4K, I won´t notice unless I go cropping /pixel peeping like crazy.
    In an nutsell, as always, buy the best your budget allows. That´s all.

    Unfortunately F2.8 isn't all that fast on an APS-C camera, like it would be on a full frame. You get less light and less bokeh. So the Sony 2.8 would be nice from weight perspective, and better than the kit lens, but it's not punching anywhere close to a 2.8 on a full frame.

If wrong, what am I missing?

    the lower f-stop on the sigma lens is why the price tag is so high. also paired with the autofocus on the lens. If you go with the sony 16mm you'll be better off if you use manual focus and have decent lighting so you can keep your ISO low. You wont have as deep of a focus range, but it'll still look nice.
