i already got this lens and 100% agree what your reviews. . hope sigma will release 50-130mm 2.8 and 10-18mm 2.8 in the future to complete the trinity lens too. .
Great review! I had been eyeing the Tamron 17-70, but the Sigma 18-50 is so much smaller and lighter, and for me that will mean taking the camera more places, and using it more. It's the main reason I am not moving to full frame: the size and weight of my lenses really matters! And congrats on getting married! The finger lakes are a beautiful area; I live in Toronto and have been down in that area a number of times.
Another super practical lens from Sigma. Sigma have also released a number of 2.8 primes at significantly lower prices, with much smaller bodies as they are 2.8, not 1.4. I can certainly live with 2.8. Only issue is potential lens redundancies as I have purchased a number of Sony native apsc lens + the Sigma trío. That Sigma 56 1.4 continues to blow me way.
Just want to add my thanks for all the tips, tricks, reviews you've posted! Just starting in the photography hobby but due to you, and many other shooters, recommendation for the Sony a6000 being one of the best beginner camera, ordered one and a slightly used Sigma 18-50mm. Looking forward to learning this art form, my Dad had a Canon 35mm in the 70's and I know that he really enjoyed shooting and developing his own photos in the darkroom he created in the basement. Cheers!
Great and honest review, I could stay a little longer in APS-C with this lens. Just hope that Sony will come out with some new APS-C bodies in the near future too.
Congrats on getting married buddy! I’m currently using the Sony 35mm on my a6000, when using it for my Funko photography, I’m definitely getting shackled with regards to being a certain distance away from the subject, especially indoors during the winter months. This lens would definitely be a welcome addition to my kit 🙏🏻🤙🏻
@@KoelAnderson bahaha bless you, semi-impulse bought it today in NYC, dealing with the afterthoughts right now haha but first impressions are strong so I'm excited 😃
💯% agree with your reasoning on staying with ASPC...I decided to upgrade my a6000 a year ago and thought for sure I would go full frame. Then I realized that the portability factor means a lot! I also noticed that at family events or just going places with friends that I always had my camera and a lens or two (or more if I brought my backpack) and rarely did the FF owners bring theirs....so ended up with the A6600 a year ago and just love it....keep up the great work Cheers from Alberta 🇨🇦
Sold my SEL1655G in favor to the 1850. The 1655 feels more valuable, image results might be a tad better, but Quality is good enough for me (the 1650PZ falls a bit short of producing good images IMHO) . But with the Form Factor of 1850, it is easy to put an additional lens in your backpack, like the Samyan 12mm 😊
@@kismat_rana The lens has no stabilization. You can use it on the D6400 as long as your steady camera techniques are good. The D6600 has IBIS (In Body Image Stabilization) that will steady the lens. Of course, the A6600 costs more. Every photographer really should know how to steady their camera when shooting regardless if the camera has vibration control. .
@@edc5338 I'm concerned over these spec features but many reviewers say 6600 IBIS is useless but battery backup is great !! I wana get a6600 if It does have better video performance or colour science over a6400
@@kismat_rana I’ve been using with my A6400 for a couple of months now and have been blown away by how good it is. I am getting better hit rates with focussing than before when I was using an image stabilised Sony lens that I have now sold !! Colour rendition is terrific. And f2.8 and close focussing. It’s my favourite lens for out and about and at home with people. Super happy.
Hi Kyle, good to see you again. Congratulations and much happiness to you and your bride. Just picked up the 18-50mm Sigma and have been enjoying it. Size and weight is much better then the 17-70mm Tamron (just sold that). Photos are sharp for a zoom lens too. Great for walking around with. Thanks for your reviews.
I haven’t got my hands on the Tamron 17-70 yet, but that’s always my biggest pain point. If something is really heavy, I usually sell it for a lighter/smaller alternative IF the smaller option still performs great, and in this case it does!
I know I’m late but just bought this lens today and can’t wait to get it. Kinda haven’t been doing any real photography in a while and want to get back in it and believe this to be a perfect one lens option for my photography style. Congrats on the marriage even if it was a while ago but haven’t watched any camera people in a long time so just seeing this.
bro very professionally well done video. love the highlights of the physical specs of the lense. Make it easy for someone who doesnt speak "camera" to understand
Hi Kyle, Sigma hmm? No image stabilization and Alpha 6100 no image stabilization as well - not too risky to pair those two? I own A6000 and I was thinking to get this Sigma (or Tamron 17-70...)... I would appreciate your feedback.
You convinced me! I am going on an Honor Flight for Vietnam Veterans to Washington DC. I was going to take my Sony A7iii and Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 but looked at the weight of my A6600 plus this this little lens. Photography will not be a major reason for the trip and I want to travel as light as possible. I have the Sony 16-50mm kit lens but, the IQ is just O.K. - not any better than that. I use the kit lens on my A6600 for video since I have a gimbal that will not handle much extra weight. However, it will handle the A6600 plus Sigma 18-50mm - so the camera/lens combo will not be a one-trick pony. I can use it for stills and on the gimbal i will work just fine for video...
Thank you for doing a video based on photography. I got a used 6400 and needed a small lens. I am not a video person. I don’t do UA-cam. I kind of miss the days where you had to buy a video camera because I find getting good info on photography over video is getting harder.
Great review thank you. I’ve been super pleased using this lens on my A6400. My experience parallels yours. Worth saying how useful the close up facility is as well. Congratulations on the wedding !!!
Great that you included a comparison of those three lens, saves me from doing it myself 😂. Wild to see the weight difference of those options. Congrats on the wedding! The autumn honeymoon photos look fantastic.
@@kyletaggart I’ve been looking for that elusive “one lens” to travel with. The 17-70 and this 18-50 seem like the final two options - my last sticking point is how much better are these lenses are than the 16-50 kit lens that I’ve already got 🧐 (are they $500-700 better!?) . Have you done any direct comparisons with the kit lens?
Technicallyyy the kit lens is like $300 brand new. Hard to say how much $$ the gap in performance equates to, but personally I think the sigma vs the kit lens is a big jump. Sharpness, f2.8 vs 3.5, and the sigma can be at f2.8 at any focal length in its range. The kit lens is tiny, but the sigma isn’t gigantic by any means.
I have just recently sold my Tamron 17-70 for this one. Value of this lens is just priceless :) And I don't miss stabilization at all - I have a ZV-E10 body without IBIS. Faster than 1/80 shutter basically you can shoot sharp photos. I just wonder, why anyone would ever disable lens compensations in-camera? If you shoot RAW+JPEG, you will always have the "distorted" image as well...
Interesting, what was the biggest factor? I was actually thinking of getting the 17-70 over this...Tamron has more range on both ends and for the comparable range is just as sharp I've heard, so the only thing I can think of to go for the Sigma is the size and slightly lower price...?
@@antalgabor gotcha, with EDU discount at B&H it'll be 500 vs 700, and the extra range seems worth it to me. Also a6000 is a bit of a better match but still the decision is hard. Racking my brains 😩. Appreciate your input man 👍🏽
@@MrSwaggernaut83 Hey, I think there is a downside shooting at 70mm on Tamron - it will be not so sharp at f2.8. But for video, it is perfect. I just use clear image zoom, if I want more reach, so I don't miss 70mm, I am good with 50 on the Sigma. Since sigma did the best prime lenses for 6xxx, I gave my heart to the Japanese. :)
@@antalgabor ah yes, I have the 30mm and love it but just need a more versatile option. And yes, I've heard it's softer at 70mm but considering that's 'extra' focal range as it is, this doesn't do much to deter me, especially bc stopping down to f4 seems to alleviate the problem.
I really wish Sigma would release these for Fuji X-mount, its in dire need of fast compact zoom lenses, but God, someone make a lens equal to Samsung 16-50mm F2-2.8, this lens is reason I still use NX1, because its such good lens, I never seen ANY lens comparable.
Man, in Mexico this lens is 700 dollars. And average pays are much lower than in the US. But it look like a perfect choice to replace my kit lens 16-50
I’m waiting on that Tamron 18-300 you reviewed to be my all-rounder. So this has me confused I suppose the use case is different? Would you use this in place of carrying a bunch of primes?
The sigma primes Alsace better low light ability, as they’re at f1.4. So depends on your use case. They’re also cheaper than the zoom. And as far as the 18-50mm vs the tamron 18-300, the tamron is more expensive, and IMO not as sharp as the sigma. It’s also much bigger/heavier, and is a variable aperture lens, so lots of things to consider.
Thanks great info i'm using a kitlens with my A6400 and looking allready long to get a other lens. i was thinking about the Tamron but now after your info i think i would like to go for the Sigma and save some $$ thanks
i'm confused btw two lenses sigma 56mm 1.4 or sigma 18-50mm 2.8 which one is better option for first lense buy?sony 6400 with kit lense i'm still using..
for a first lens, I'd suggest the 18-50mm f2.8, as it's provides a more versatility. However if you're doing straight portraits, the 56mm f1.4 sould be better for that purpose.
I feel like - it’s not a hugeee diff. I did a review on the 16-55 so long ago now, so it’s hard to say, but the 18-50 is just so lovely to use bc it’s size.
I'm wondering if I should get this sigma zoom or the 30mm prime. I want a family lens to take pics at home, in restaurants, park, etc. Any thoughts? Is the picture quality comparable to the sigma 30mm 1.4?
The quality is comparable yes. Family lens, screams to me 18-50mm, because of the versatility. If you needed low light and were doing films, I’d recommend the 30mm. If it’s just about budget, the 30mm would be the choice, but the price for the 18-50 is stellar for what it is.
How would you compare this with the Sony 18-105 f4 G? I still only use the kit lens for zoom, but when i travel its annoying to swap lenses and i don't like the wide end of the kit lens. Thoughts on which one would be a good option?
You don’t like the wide end of the kit lens? Why? Ans I’d say the one with more range - the 18-105 is double the 18-50. Just depends if you want a little lighter lens, or a lens with f2.8. The 18-105 has OSS, and comes in handy for video.
Hi Kyle, thanks for that cool video. I was considering buying the sigma 56 but now I hesitate with the 18-50 :/ I have the sigma 16mm f1.4 with my A6500. I love it but sometimes it's to wide. Which one do you recommend for photos and videos ? 56 or 18-50 ? Maybe it's a good lenses for traveling but for some professional work, the primes would be way better ? Really difficult to choose because I don't have the chance to test all sigma lenses :) Thank you so much
If you’re going to do professional portraits, you can make the $350-$400 from the Sigma 56mm f1.4 in…one or two sessions. It’s the considered sharpest lens for the Sony APSC cameras. The 18-50mm is much more flexible, a little bit more $, and could be used for more things. But if you’re going to mainly focus on portraits, the 56mm may fit your needs more. If you’re just dabbling right now, and want something to do a lot of things with, the 18-50mm is your pick.
Hi I just got the lense as well! I paired it with my 6500 camera and i use it only for video. I found out that the lense 1: When im in focus on target and i start zooming it looses focus… I don’t have that with sony lenses. I can zoom in or out very slowly and still keep my focus. 2: When im on focus on my target on the gimbal and im pulling out again it looses focus, Same with my sony ones all is ok i can do that no issues! Is the lense like that? Its only built for photography?? Because for photography its amazing. Fast allways on focus Do any one have the same issue??
I’d say upgrade the body when there is a feature that’s a must have, or if it’s got too much wear and tear. For me, I love the eye AF of the a6100 and touch to focus.
Dear Kyle. This lens is about the same size as the Sigma 30 f1.4. I use it mostly on the streets at between f2.8 to F8. Is this Sigma zoom as sharp as the older sigma 30mm f1.4 at those apertures? Also is the AF any better than the Sigma 30 f1.4? The sigma 30 hunts in AF-S.
This lense is making me crazy, I've seen so many reviews of it and now I am totally obsessed with it and I would love to use it. I'm having a feeling that it's one of the best lense for beginners. I have learning about cameras, lenses and about photography for more than 2 years now and It's one of my most favourite lense yet. Though I really don't have a camera or this lense, according to all the reviews I think this a perfect lense for Sony a6x00 series. I wish I had a camera and this lense for my Christmas gift.😅 Btw Merry Christmas!
@@kyletaggart : Do you think pros will like or love this lens just because it is 'cute' and light? I got one for my son's a6400, which I gave him, to have that mid range zoom to compliment his 70-300 Sony zoom. I did take photos with it and really is an incredible lens.
I have zv-e10 with kitlens getting confused between Sigma 30mm prime vs Sigma 18-50mm zoom Only worry is with sharpness which prime lens can give over zoom lens Any thoughts??
I’d you’ve never used a prime before I’d suggest the zoom lens. More flexibility, and the sharpness is there on this lens. If you need all low light ability over everything else, then grab the 30mm f1.4
3:40 I was surprised that the Sony G lens doesn't have image stabilization. It does, however, have the advantage of being weather sealed. Great review|!
Just standard, some of them are actually RAW without any profile on them. In editing I've been using adobe landscape and adobe color (regular), then editing from there.
If you’re strictly doing portraits, I’d say the sigma 56mm f1.4 is better for that, however if you want flexibility, I’d absolutely recommend the 18-50mm f2.8. I love both, but the 56mm f1.4 is better suited for portraits / further away subjects, where as the 18-50mm you can use for many different things.
What a fantastic video Kyle, I own sigma 16mm, 30mm, and sony 18-105f4, I was thinking of adding to my collection, I take mostly sunrise/ sunset pictures, car show pictures, would you still add to your collection if you had the 3 current lenses I have, thanks for any input you might have, btw, I use a6600
I think it’s a good addition - sometimes I do find myself missing the f1.4, that day the sigma 30mm has, but having a zoom at f2.8 is fun! And with it being small
Depends what you wanna shoot. I use the 56mm the most pit of the 3, but if you’re shopping astro I’d say 16mm. If you’re doing street photos, 30mm. If you love portraits or just the distance you can be at - 56mm.
Another great review. If I didn't already own the tamron 17-70 I would seriously consider this lens. I have herd people say this lens suffers from flaring did you experience that at all?
I love my A6000 photo quality. I've had it since it came out. I hate the battery life and got that reason alone I'm upgrading. I'll keep it for certain uses but if I'm out for a few hours I will no longer have to carry 6 batteries.
This lens would be good for A6500 or A6600 as both cameras have IBIS as this is non stabilised. For non IBIS A6xxx cameras use the Tamron 17-70 as is is stabilised !
@@stuarttracey2009 it is true, you are right. I got it and I can assure you that it is worth every penny. I also have the 16,30 and 56mm sigma and I love it too...of course prime lenses...the best. I was able to sell my sigma lenses to buy the sigma zoom 2.8, but I preferred to keep them and buy a stabilized lens 2.8. Sigma...tamron...great lenses.
This is an outstanding lens. I use it for street photography. Bought it second though. No lense hood was included though.. Not sure which size to purchase either 😅
Hi, great video BTW.. Your photos were very sharp. How did you handle taking photos handheld since both the camera and the lens have no stabilization? any tips? Planning on getting one.. Im only held back by the lack of stabilization... will pair it with ZV-E10 which has no IBS. Im choosing between this and the 18-105 PZ F4 OSS G...Thanks Congrats on getting married
it all depends on what you're shotting. f1.4 is better for low light situations, but if you need a lens for all around use, the zoom lens may be better. just depends on what you need the lens for.
Hiya Kyle - great review, the only problem for me as a travel lens is that it has no weather sealing, which for me would be key on a travel lens. Thanks again. Mark
It does have a rubber gasket at the mount, but the cameras it’s made for aren’t weather sealed. I mean the 6400 and 6600 are more rugged, but not weather sealed. I’m always testing the limits out there with my 6100 😂
Range is the only downside of this lens. My main lens is Sony 18-105 F4. It's not perfect and surely far form optical quality of this sigma but it's versatility is waaaay better in my opinion.
Great lens. I've done some testing of the sharpness using a tripod in my garden. Plants and vegetables have an incredible range of detail and this lens performed beautifully. It's no slouch. What I love about this lens, like in my 70-200 f4.0 and 200-600, is the internal zoom. It is great for video as you don't have to turn the zoom ring or the zoom ring is super butter smooth.
@@shantibuddha Yes. You might also consider seriously the Sigma 18-50 f2.8. It is also excellent, maybe even sharper than the 18-105 and it certainly has better close focus capability. I would suggest you think about your shooting. If you are doing a lot of video, the zoom by wire is fantastic on the 18-105. If you are primarly shooting stills, the Sigma is probably the better lens, easier to use and much smaller and lighter. It all depends on what you are going to do. I got my son the 18-50 Sigma and it is a 'cute' lens, it's comfortable and very light. Being shorter, you will not knock it around as much as with the Sony lens. Some complain that the 18-105 isn't the sharpest lens out there. If you have a chance, I suggest you try out one before putting down your $$$$.
You do realize that in order for the "distortion compensation" to 100% work, they would have had to release a firmware, which they did not, since years... And on so old cameras, you are stuck the lenses from back then. Now, I do not know how an older camera will interpret the lens, but it can be seen that distortion is still there, also after your in-camera-compensation shot. Plus, Sigma is too new to even have compensation even in Lightroom or Capture one, by now. Anyone, had success with that? Or gone manually already - best, but not always the best way.
I have purchased this lens recently.. using sony ZV e-10 . when i use the zoom rocker of the camera, an error "invalid with this lens" but no issue if i use the zoom ring of the lens. is it normal ? or is there a workaround?
The barrel of the lens must be turned to zoom for the sigma. It’s not an electronic zoom. The Sony kit lens is compatible with the zoom rocker because it’s a power zoom. Lenses like the Sony 18-105 G f4 might be compatible like that - but most zoom lenses you need to zoom with the barrel of the lens.
A great lens and as always a very good video. Beautiful photos. I hope you enjoyed your honeymoon and didn't concentrate too much on photography. You got a beautiful wife by the way. Congratulations to your wedding. I recently decided to sell my Sony 18-105 and buy the Tamron 17-70. Will see how it pays out. I considered this one as well, but as I do al lot of photos of my children and want to stay away from the situation / their play to not interrupt them, I decided on the extra zoom-range. But still I consider buying this one in addition for travel as the Tarmon is really a big beast and this must be so tiny in comparison... Keep on the good work and stay safe. Greetings from the other side of the Atlantic... :-)
Great review! I’ve been waiting to hear your thoughts on this one. I’ve got the Sony 18-135.. is this Sigma still worth purchasing? Love that it’s a fixed 2.8, but from comparing dimensions and weights, it doesn’t seem like the 18-135 is much bigger, for the extra zoom range. I’m an avid backpacker, so most of my photos are landscapes and portraits of my significant other while we hike. Could you comment on the size difference between the sigma and the Sony? Wasn’t sure if in-person comparisons would show more of a difference in weight/size.. this lens seems like a great buy, but the 18-135 was also a great buy for my needs.. any help is appreciated! Thanks for everything you do!
I think the 18-135 is a great lens, if your mainly hiking then that’s probably during daylight. So you wouldn’t necessarily need the f2.8. I don’t have the 18-135 anymore, has it when testing for a video way back, but I really enjoyed that lens. Can’t comment on their weight vs each other except looking just at the numbers.
I have the 18-135 and the 30mm prime sigma. honestly the reach on the Sony is nice but the picture quality is just not that sharp, so I ended up keeping the sigma on it more often. I would go with the zoom. Maybe look at the sigma 17-70...you'll have a bit more reach and better sharpness.
Why not get the Sony A7c with the Tamron 28-75? Full frame goodness in a body and lens combo that is roughly the same size and weight as a 6000 series with the Tamron 17 - 70
Congrats on getting married! Maybe your excitement got the better of you because you said you recommended the Sigma 16mm for anyone who wanted a "ZOOM LENS" with a greater range? The 16 mm is a fixed focal length but most people say it's a great WIDE ANGLE lens equivalent to 24mm for full-frame or 35mm format.
@@kyletaggart Well if you start listening from 00:01:07 you have been talking about the 56mm as the best portrait, then 30mm has been a favorite for years, and lastly the 16mm and you go on saying you highly, highly recommend to you guys and you just wanted to come and say you recommend this zoom lens... Maybe you're thinking about the 18-50mm but you didn't finish talking about the 16mm or say that you changed the subject, there isn't even a breather in between, and sounds like one sentence.
@@kyletaggart OKAY; it seems like a good lens by most accounts (as the entire Sigma series for APS-C, 16, 30, 56 and now the 18-50mm). If I get back into Sony APS-C in the future, I'll certainly consider them all, for the moment I'm all FF.

Sold my SEL1655G in favor to the 1850.

@@mhouslay7281 I got my a6600 witn sony 16-55 f2.8 G but I rather loved 6600 with my old sigma prime lens over 2.8 sony G lens 🥰
Hi Kyle, good to see you again. Congratulations and much happiness to you and your bride. Just picked up the 18-50mm Sigma and have been enjoying it. Size and weight is much better then the 17-70mm Tamron (just sold that). Photos are sharp for a zoom lens too. Great for walking around with. Thanks for your reviews.
I haven’t got my hands on the Tamron 17-70 yet, but that’s always my biggest pain point. If something is really heavy, I usually sell it for a lighter/smaller alternative IF the smaller option still performs great, and in this case it does!
Great review. Gonna get the lens. Found out from you about the Lens Comp in my Sony A6400 menu. Thanks. Congrats on the wedding!
Perfect! Happy ppl found the setting tip helpful
Congratulations on your marriage Kyle! ❤️
Thank you! ❤️
I know I’m late but just bought this lens today and can’t wait to get it. Kinda haven’t been doing any real photography in a while and want to get back in it and believe this to be a perfect one lens option for my photography style. Congrats on the marriage even if it was a while ago but haven’t watched any camera people in a long time so just seeing this.
no worries at all! thanks for checking it out. Love this lens. Ever since I got it it's be a go to for travel for me.
Man i must say your editing skills are top notch! It looks as if you are a human Sony Bravia XR Engine.
👍👌🙌
thanks so much!
bro very professionally well done video. love the highlights of the physical specs of the lense. Make it easy for someone who doesnt speak "camera" to understand
Haha my man! Thanks brotha. Appreciate it
Amazing as always!! Great Video!
Fantastic video, you have helped me with choosing my lenses for my a6600
Great to hear!
@@kyletaggart what settings would you use for the s&q for time lapse for fireworks and what lense would you choose
Congratulations on getting married! Your videos are so good lately! You are a great photographer and videographer!
Wow thanks so much Karl! I put a lot of hours into this one
Another excellent review.
Thanks, man!
I have the trio & the 28-70 f/2.8 love them all
I have the Tamron 17-70 already and was considering getting this lens for my wife. May have to pick it up after watching this
You’ll have to great lenses! Nice
Hi Kyle,
Sigma hmm? No image stabilization and Alpha 6100 no image stabilization as well - not too risky to pair those two? I own A6000 and I was thinking to get this Sigma (or Tamron 17-70...)... I would appreciate your feedback.
Top review!
I had made the decision to go for the Sony E 18-135mm lens for my A6000 but having seen this, I'm now reconsidering my options.
Depends if you need the length, or f2.8. I really enjoyed the 18-135 when I had it.
You convinced me! I am going on an Honor Flight for Vietnam Veterans to Washington DC. I was going to take my Sony A7iii and Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 but looked at the weight of my A6600 plus this this little lens. Photography will not be a major reason for the trip and I want to travel as light as possible. I have the Sony 16-50mm kit lens but, the IQ is just O.K. - not any better than that. I use the kit lens on my A6600 for video since I have a gimbal that will not handle much extra weight. However, it will handle the A6600 plus Sigma 18-50mm - so the camera/lens combo will not be a one-trick pony. I can use it for stills and on the gimbal i will work just fine for video...
Awesome! Hope you get great shots on your trip with that small but capable setup!
Been waiting for this review! Thank you. 😁
Thanks for waiting!
Congrats on getting married :) great video
Thanks Chris! I put a ton of work into this video, thanks!
Congrats! Welcome to the married club. Great video. I think this will be my next purchase for my A6000.
Thanks Javier!

Nice review with beautifully edited samples. Thank you.
I have heard that, TTartisan 23mm f1.4 is coming soon, Can't wait to see your review of that lens😁
Would love to test it!
There is already viltrox 23 1.4 with AF and very cheap. I got it and it's always on my a6600)
I absolutely love the Viltrox 23, its what I film my videos with now!
@@kyletaggart I had already sigma trio but viltrox is different focal. its universal despite CA and vignetting.
Thank you for doing a video based on photography. I got a used 6400 and needed a small lens. I am not a video person. I don’t do UA-cam. I kind of miss the days where you had to buy a video camera because I find getting good info on photography over video is getting harder.
Great review thank you.
I’ve been super pleased using this lens on my A6400. My experience parallels yours.
Worth saying how useful the close up facility is as well.
Congratulations on the wedding !!!
Thanks so much! and it's minimum focus distance is great indeed!
Great that you included a comparison of those three lens, saves me from doing it myself 😂. Wild to see the weight difference of those options. Congrats on the wedding! The autumn honeymoon photos look fantastic.
Thanks Allison! I still need to get my hands on the tamron 17-70, but weight is such a huge factor for me when buying!
@@kyletaggart I’ve been looking for that elusive “one lens” to travel with. The 17-70 and this 18-50 seem like the final two options - my last sticking point is how much better are these lenses are than the 16-50 kit lens that I’ve already got 🧐 (are they $500-700 better!?) . Have you done any direct comparisons with the kit lens?
Technicallyyy the kit lens is like $300 brand new. Hard to say how much $$ the gap in performance equates to, but personally I think the sigma vs the kit lens is a big jump. Sharpness, f2.8 vs 3.5, and the sigma can be at f2.8 at any focal length in its range. The kit lens is tiny, but the sigma isn’t gigantic by any means.
@@kyletaggart good to know! Thanks for your thoughts on the matter! Considering a holiday gift for myself with that 18-50….!
Just bought the a6000, gonna buy this lens for it now. Thanks :))
ppl waited years for a lens like this lol, so perfect timing for you!
Nice review! How this lens performs with video? Like close ups, wide, medium range clips?
I have just recently sold my Tamron 17-70 for this one. Value of this lens is just priceless :) And I don't miss stabilization at all - I have a ZV-E10 body without IBIS.
Faster than 1/80 shutter basically you can shoot sharp photos.
I just wonder, why anyone would ever disable lens compensations in-camera? If you shoot RAW+JPEG, you will always have the "distorted" image as well...
Interesting, what was the biggest factor? I was actually thinking of getting the 17-70 over this...Tamron has more range on both ends and for the comparable range is just as sharp I've heard, so the only thing I can think of to go for the Sigma is the size and slightly lower price...?
@@MrSwaggernaut83 For me, the factor was the price and size definitely. 17-70 is too big for ZV-E10 when you compare it with this tiny thing :)
@@antalgabor gotcha, with EDU discount at B&H it'll be 500 vs 700, and the extra range seems worth it to me. Also a6000 is a bit of a better match but still the decision is hard. Racking my brains 😩. Appreciate your input man 👍🏽
@@MrSwaggernaut83 Hey, I think there is a downside shooting at 70mm on Tamron - it will be not so sharp at f2.8. But for video, it is perfect. I just use clear image zoom, if I want more reach, so I don't miss 70mm, I am good with 50 on the Sigma. Since sigma did the best prime lenses for 6xxx, I gave my heart to the Japanese. :)
@@antalgabor ah yes, I have the 30mm and love it but just need a more versatile option. And yes, I've heard it's softer at 70mm but considering that's 'extra' focal range as it is, this doesn't do much to deter me, especially bc stopping down to f4 seems to alleviate the problem.
fun , mine arrived today, looking forward to testing it out :D Great video as always, Kyle.
Nice! Thanks for always stopping by Leech. I’ll be sure to see your review too!
@@kyletaggart sure. Good Content needs to be watched :) have a great weekend.
I really wish Sigma would release these for Fuji X-mount, its in dire need of fast compact zoom lenses, but God, someone make a lens equal to Samsung 16-50mm F2-2.8, this lens is reason I still use NX1, because its such good lens, I never seen ANY lens comparable.
Hey I just got an email that this is now being released for Fuji X mount! Early December ot will be at retailers. $550.
Cool, you made it in detail. Thanks.
Which software to use for editing the raw images.
Please
Lightroom!
Man, in Mexico this lens is 700 dollars. And average pays are much lower than in the US. But it look like a perfect choice to replace my kit lens 16-50
Thanks, very well explained.
I’m waiting on that Tamron 18-300 you reviewed to be my all-rounder. So this has me confused I suppose the use case is different? Would you use this in place of carrying a bunch of primes?
The sigma primes Alsace better low light ability, as they’re at f1.4. So depends on your use case. They’re also cheaper than the zoom. And as far as the 18-50mm vs the tamron 18-300, the tamron is more expensive, and IMO not as sharp as the sigma. It’s also much bigger/heavier, and is a variable aperture lens, so lots of things to consider.
Thanks great info i'm using a kitlens with my A6400 and looking allready long to get a other lens.
i was thinking about the Tamron but now after your info i think i would like to go for the Sigma and save some $$ thanks
Great reviews brother
Thanks Arun! ✌🏻
i'm confused btw two lenses sigma 56mm 1.4 or sigma 18-50mm 2.8 which one is better option for first lense buy?sony 6400 with kit lense i'm still using..
for a first lens, I'd suggest the 18-50mm f2.8, as it's provides a more versatility. However if you're doing straight portraits, the 56mm f1.4 sould be better for that purpose.
Great video, would love to see a comparison between the sony 16-55 f2.8 g vs the new sigma 18-50mm 2.8; to tell if spending more make a difference?
I feel like - it’s not a hugeee diff. I did a review on the 16-55 so long ago now, so it’s hard to say, but the 18-50 is just so lovely to use bc it’s size.
I'm wondering if I should get this sigma zoom or the 30mm prime. I want a family lens to take pics at home, in restaurants, park, etc. Any thoughts? Is the picture quality comparable to the sigma 30mm 1.4?
The quality is comparable yes. Family lens, screams to me 18-50mm, because of the versatility. If you needed low light and were doing films, I’d recommend the 30mm. If it’s just about budget, the 30mm would be the choice, but the price for the 18-50 is stellar for what it is.
How would you compare this with the Sony 18-105 f4 G? I still only use the kit lens for zoom, but when i travel its annoying to swap lenses and i don't like the wide end of the kit lens. Thoughts on which one would be a good option?
You don’t like the wide end of the kit lens? Why? Ans I’d say the one with more range - the 18-105 is double the 18-50. Just depends if you want a little lighter lens, or a lens with f2.8. The 18-105 has OSS, and comes in handy for video.
Hi Kyle, thanks for that cool video.
I was considering buying the sigma 56 but now I hesitate with the 18-50 :/
I have the sigma 16mm f1.4 with my A6500. I love it but sometimes it's to wide.
Which one do you recommend for photos and videos ? 56 or 18-50 ?
Maybe it's a good lenses for traveling but for some professional work, the primes would be way better ?
Really difficult to choose because I don't have the chance to test all sigma lenses :)
Thank you so much
If you’re going to do professional portraits, you can make the $350-$400 from the Sigma 56mm f1.4 in…one or two sessions. It’s the considered sharpest lens for the Sony APSC cameras. The 18-50mm is much more flexible, a little bit more $, and could be used for more things. But if you’re going to mainly focus on portraits, the 56mm may fit your needs more. If you’re just dabbling right now, and want something to do a lot of things with, the 18-50mm is your pick.
@@kyletaggart Thank you for your reply :) I'll start with the 18-50 and will see if I need to complete my gear with the 56 :)
I solved the problem of choosing by buying sigma trio f 1.4+ viltrox 23 1.4 + samyang 12f2)
Hi
I just got the lense as well!
I paired it with my 6500 camera and i use it only for video.
I found out that the lense
1: When im in focus on target and i start zooming it looses focus… I don’t have that with sony lenses. I can zoom in or out very slowly and still keep my focus.
2: When im on focus on my target on the gimbal and im pulling out again it looses focus, Same with my sony ones all is ok i can do that no issues!
Is the lense like that? Its only built for photography?? Because for photography its amazing. Fast allways on focus
Do any one have the same issue??
Want to get this one for my 6000. I’ve thought about upgrading my body, but I think this is next.
I’d say upgrade the body when there is a feature that’s a must have, or if it’s got too much wear and tear. For me, I love the eye AF of the a6100 and touch to focus.
Dear Kyle. This lens is about the same size as the Sigma 30 f1.4. I use it mostly on the streets at between f2.8 to F8.
Is this Sigma zoom as sharp as the older sigma 30mm f1.4 at those apertures? Also is the AF any better than the Sigma 30 f1.4? The sigma 30 hunts in AF-S.
This lense is making me crazy, I've seen so many reviews of it and now I am totally obsessed with it and I would love to use it.
I'm having a feeling that it's one of the best lense for beginners. I have learning about cameras, lenses and about photography for more than 2 years now and It's one of my most favourite lense yet.
Though I really don't have a camera or this lense, according to all the reviews I think this a perfect lense for Sony a6x00 series.
I wish I had a camera and this lense for my Christmas gift.😅
Btw Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! and I agree - this is an incredible lens for a beginner - it's a big step up in quality from the kit lens in a few ways!
@@kyletaggart : Do you think pros will like or love this lens just because it is 'cute' and light? I got one for my son's a6400, which I gave him, to have that mid range zoom to compliment his 70-300 Sony zoom. I did take photos with it and really is an incredible lens.
I think “pro’s” or other UA-camrs appreciate what sigma is doing. It’s a big step up for a small zoom - at a very reasonable price.
I have zv-e10 with kitlens getting confused between Sigma 30mm prime vs Sigma 18-50mm zoom
Only worry is with sharpness which prime lens can give over zoom lens
Any thoughts??
I’d you’ve never used a prime before I’d suggest the zoom lens. More flexibility, and the sharpness is there on this lens. If you need all low light ability over everything else, then grab the 30mm f1.4
@@kyletaggart Thanks for responding 🙏
3:40 I was surprised that the Sony G lens doesn't have image stabilization. It does, however, have the advantage of being weather sealed. Great review|!
I love your unedited jpegs! What picture profile or picture style do you use?
Just standard, some of them are actually RAW without any profile on them. In editing I've been using adobe landscape and adobe color (regular), then editing from there.
Would you recommend this lens for gym content and video
Yes, the ability to zoom will help for different types of shots. It’s a veritable, lightweight, high quality lens. 👍🏻
Great value 😊!
Conclusion I drew after the review is that this is best lens for couples going for honeymoon
. ;)
Would you recommend this or the Sigma 50mm f1.4?
If you’re strictly doing portraits, I’d say the sigma 56mm f1.4 is better for that, however if you want flexibility, I’d absolutely recommend the 18-50mm f2.8. I love both, but the 56mm f1.4 is better suited for portraits / further away subjects, where as the 18-50mm you can use for many different things.
@@kyletaggart Thank you so much for your detailed response!
Anytime! Thanks for checking my videos out 👍🏻
What a fantastic video Kyle, I own sigma 16mm, 30mm, and sony 18-105f4, I was thinking of adding to my collection, I take mostly sunrise/ sunset pictures, car show pictures, would you still add to your collection if you had the 3 current lenses I have, thanks for any input you might have, btw, I use a6600
I think it’s a good addition - sometimes I do find myself missing the f1.4, that day the sigma 30mm has, but having a zoom at f2.8 is fun! And with it being small
which one of the 3 ( 16mm,30mm,56mm) would you choose additional to the 18- 50mm?
Depends what you wanna shoot. I use the 56mm the most pit of the 3, but if you’re shopping astro I’d say 16mm. If you’re doing street photos, 30mm. If you love portraits or just the distance you can be at - 56mm.
Another great review. If I didn't already own the tamron 17-70 I would seriously consider this lens. I have herd people say this lens suffers from flaring did you experience that at all?
Not too bad from what I saw, shot at moon a bunch too. Lens hood does a good job.
I love my A6000 photo quality. I've had it since it came out. I hate the battery life and got that reason alone I'm upgrading. I'll keep it for certain uses but if I'm out for a few hours I will no longer have to carry 6 batteries.
If you want to stay within the apsc lineup, the a6600 uses the same battery as the a7iii, so the battery life is phenomenal.
@@nwmi23 I'm trying to hold off for the A7RV but idk I just got another lens this week I may pick up the A7RIVA.
@@raywalteroutdoors congrats on the new lens! You can't go wrong with the a7RIVA, that camera is a beast.
This lens would be good for A6500 or A6600 as both cameras have IBIS as this is non stabilised. For non IBIS A6xxx cameras use the Tamron 17-70 as is is stabilised !
Is it goog for video as well?
What gear you use for your videos.
Sony a6100, Viltrox 23mm f1.4 for all talking head. Usually the Sony 35mm f1.8 OSS for b roll. Macro / close up - 7Artisans 60mm f2.8 II.
I was hoping to grab the Tamron 17-70, but this lens is a game changer.
I prefer 17-70mm tamron...more focal distance and oss...is very very sharp.
But 30% more expensive and twice as bulky
@@stuarttracey2009 it is true, you are right. I got it and I can assure you that it is worth every penny.
I also have the 16,30 and 56mm sigma and I love it too...of course prime lenses...the best.
I was able to sell my sigma lenses to buy the sigma zoom 2.8, but I preferred to keep them and buy a stabilized lens 2.8.
Sigma...tamron...great lenses.
Thanks for your efforts 🎉
Thanks Ali! ✌🏻
This is an outstanding lens. I use it for street photography. Bought it second though. No lense hood was included though.. Not sure which size to purchase either 😅
excellent guide!
Thanks! 😄
Hi, great video BTW.. Your photos were very sharp. How did you handle taking photos handheld since both the camera and the lens have no stabilization? any tips? Planning on getting one.. Im only held back by the lack of stabilization... will pair it with ZV-E10 which has no IBS. Im choosing between this and the 18-105 PZ F4 OSS G...Thanks
Congrats on getting married
Shutter speed being faster, no moving subject or having one that doesn’t move much, and editing.
Also thank you!!
Is it better to have only sigma 16 1.4 because of low light on night?
it all depends on what you're shotting. f1.4 is better for low light situations, but if you need a lens for all around use, the zoom lens may be better. just depends on what you need the lens for.
I always thought your name was Hiky Letaggart 😂🙈
This looks like a great kitlens replacement
Haha nope, Kyle, Taggart. 😂
Hiya Kyle - great review, the only problem for me as a travel lens is that it has no weather sealing, which for me would be key on a travel lens. Thanks again. Mark
It does have a rubber gasket at the mount, but the cameras it’s made for aren’t weather sealed. I mean the 6400 and 6600 are more rugged, but not weather sealed. I’m always testing the limits out there with my 6100 😂
congratulations!😁
Range is the only downside of this lens. My main lens is Sony 18-105 F4. It's not perfect and surely far form optical quality of this sigma but it's versatility is waaaay better in my opinion.
I was sometimes wanting more range than the 50mm for sure, it definitely depends on what you’re doing while out and about!
Great lens. I've done some testing of the sharpness using a tripod in my garden. Plants and vegetables have an incredible range of detail and this lens performed beautifully. It's no slouch. What I love about this lens, like in my 70-200 f4.0 and 200-600, is the internal zoom. It is great for video as you don't have to turn the zoom ring or the zoom ring is super butter smooth.
@@bondgabebond4907 you taking about 18-105 G lens ?? I'm planning to get one for my a6400
@@shantibuddha Yes. You might also consider seriously the Sigma 18-50 f2.8. It is also excellent, maybe even sharper than the 18-105 and it certainly has better close focus capability. I would suggest you think about your shooting. If you are doing a lot of video, the zoom by wire is fantastic on the 18-105. If you are primarly shooting stills, the Sigma is probably the better lens, easier to use and much smaller and lighter. It all depends on what you are going to do. I got my son the 18-50 Sigma and it is a 'cute' lens, it's comfortable and very light. Being shorter, you will not knock it around as much as with the Sony lens.
Some complain that the 18-105 isn't the sharpest lens out there. If you have a chance, I suggest you try out one before putting down your $$$$.
Thanks for the info bro "lens comp"
I used to always do it in lightroom but it was nice to find an in camera function!
👍 thank you for sharing your views.
This is really nice lense.
N What about chromatic aberration, this lense has it. You forgot to mention I think.
Unless it’s egregious I don’t focus on it too much usually.
@@kyletaggart ok so it's tolerable / correctable.
Thank you brother 🙏
N thanks for introducing me to a new word... egregious 🙂 👍
Thanks so much!!
You do realize that in order for the "distortion compensation" to 100% work,
they would have had to release a firmware,
which they did not, since years...
And on so old cameras, you are stuck the lenses from back then.
Now, I do not know how an older camera will interpret the lens, but it can be seen that distortion is still there,
also after your in-camera-compensation shot.
Plus, Sigma is too new to even have compensation even in Lightroom or Capture one, by now.
Anyone, had success with that?
Or gone manually already - best, but not always the best way.
I have purchased this lens recently.. using sony ZV e-10 . when i use the zoom rocker of the camera, an error "invalid with this lens" but no issue if i use the zoom ring of the lens. is it normal ? or is there a workaround?
The barrel of the lens must be turned to zoom for the sigma. It’s not an electronic zoom. The Sony kit lens is compatible with the zoom rocker because it’s a power zoom. Lenses like the Sony 18-105 G f4 might be compatible like that - but most zoom lenses you need to zoom with the barrel of the lens.
It’s on my list ❤️
Noice 👍🏻
Nice one.
A great lens and as always a very good video. Beautiful photos. I hope you enjoyed your honeymoon and didn't concentrate too much on photography. You got a beautiful wife by the way. Congratulations to your wedding.
I recently decided to sell my Sony 18-105 and buy the Tamron 17-70. Will see how it pays out. I considered this one as well, but as I do al lot of photos of my children and want to stay away from the situation / their play to not interrupt them, I decided on the extra zoom-range. But still I consider buying this one in addition for travel as the Tarmon is really a big beast and this must be so tiny in comparison...
Keep on the good work and stay safe.
Greetings from the other side of the Atlantic... :-)
The tamron has the image stabilization as well, so potentially a good call on that. And thanks btw!
Great review! I’ve been waiting to hear your thoughts on this one. I’ve got the Sony 18-135.. is this Sigma still worth purchasing? Love that it’s a fixed 2.8, but from comparing dimensions and weights, it doesn’t seem like the 18-135 is much bigger, for the extra zoom range. I’m an avid backpacker, so most of my photos are landscapes and portraits of my significant other while we hike. Could you comment on the size difference between the sigma and the Sony? Wasn’t sure if in-person comparisons would show more of a difference in weight/size.. this lens seems like a great buy, but the 18-135 was also a great buy for my needs.. any help is appreciated! Thanks for everything you do!
I think the 18-135 is a great lens, if your mainly hiking then that’s probably during daylight. So you wouldn’t necessarily need the f2.8. I don’t have the 18-135 anymore, has it when testing for a video way back, but I really enjoyed that lens. Can’t comment on their weight vs each other except looking just at the numbers.
@@kyletaggart hey thanks so much for your fast input! I really appreciate your time!
@@kyletaggart hi I have the same question, is the sigma sharper than the Sony 18-135, right? Thanks
I have the 18-135 and the 30mm prime sigma. honestly the reach on the Sony is nice but the picture quality is just not that sharp, so I ended up keeping the sigma on it more often. I would go with the zoom. Maybe look at the sigma 17-70...you'll have a bit more reach and better sharpness.
I want an 18-50mm lens for full frame
? But there is one! 28-70 2,8
@@Reinh4 I'm talking full frame 18-50mm, not an equivalent.
Why not get the Sony A7c with the Tamron 28-75?
Full frame goodness in a body and lens combo that is roughly the same size and weight as a 6000 series with the Tamron 17 - 70
For me - price. It’s $1,800 body only. I don’t really need it. I do think about the Canon RP a lot though.
@@kyletaggart that's fair enough. It's not a cheap body.

Thanks Charlie!
Congrats on getting married! Maybe your excitement got the better of you because you said you recommended the Sigma 16mm for anyone who wanted a "ZOOM LENS" with a greater range? The 16 mm is a fixed focal length but most people say it's a great WIDE ANGLE lens equivalent to 24mm for full-frame or 35mm format.
what time in the video did you hear this?
@@kyletaggart Well if you start listening from 00:01:07 you have been talking about the 56mm as the best portrait, then 30mm has been a favorite for years, and lastly the 16mm and you go on saying you highly, highly recommend to you guys and you just wanted to come and say you recommend this zoom lens... Maybe you're thinking about the 18-50mm but you didn't finish talking about the 16mm or say that you changed the subject, there isn't even a breather in between, and sounds like one sentence.
@@N0rdman yeah, just the way it was edited, but it's not an inaccuracy. To me, it was clear. Thanks for watching though.
@@kyletaggart OKAY; it seems like a good lens by most accounts (as the entire Sigma series for APS-C, 16, 30, 56 and now the 18-50mm).
