5 REASONS WHY I SWITCHED FROM SIGMA 30MM F1.4 TO SONY 35MM F1.8 OSS | A6400/A6XXX 

Who else is still using this lens in 2021? 👊🏽

Took it as my first lens with the a5100, no regrets as it’s my go to lens for travel photography and shot many videos with it. Also being a bit longer than the sigma, you don’t lose so much bokeh even if the aperture is not as fast ✌️

Compliments for the quality pics you took. OSS is the reason i am looking at your video. I can tell you that i have a gimbal, and even on a gimbal, the stabilization of the Sigma lenses is the least a bit difficult if not problematic. Also, the use of a gimbal is possible on set-up situations, almost like a tripod. If you are doing street videography, it becomes bulky if you are planning to stay out for many hours and travel to different places. I use a 18-105 f4 zoom lens to shoot hand held but i love the sharpenes in low light night of the Sigmas trio i have, but for video i can only use it on tripod. I think the 35 mm it would allow me to do some hand held indoor shootings in dark places or outdoors at night, which the Zoom lens F4 is not be great at it and it will be impossible with the Sigma without stabilization.

You know I love this lens. Right now, I have this lens on my camera, I have the 16-50 kit lens always ready, which even though everybody hates it, I actually love it. And I have the Sony 55-210, which I also love, even though everybody hates it. LOL... I think people get too caught up in sharpness, and pixel peeping, which has nothing to do with filmmaking. It's all about the story, and the bottom line is, on any 6000 series camera, all of these lenses are pretty incredible. Most of our favorite films are not using the sharpest lenses, and are all being shot with manual focus, and so I just think people are a little crazy. But that's just me. :-) I use the a6400 and LOVE it. What I've been struggling with lately is, do I have all Prime's? Or should I have a good zoom, and maybe keep one prime? Or no primes? I'm really leaning towards keeping the kit lens as my only zoom lens, and maybe getting a couple more Primes. But of course, that Tamron 17-70 looks pretty appealing as well. I don't know, it never ends :-) thanks for the awesome review, as always

Ya nailed this one! It’s my go to…. I wonder why I still have the 16 & 50 sigma Keep up the good work!

Is Sony 35mm F1.8 OSS still worth it in 2024? I'll use it as a handheld device mainly for vlogging!

Is the 35mm better than the 50mm? The 50 is $100 cheaper. I want to get the a6600, and a lense to shoot video with. Mostly interview style torso up with blurred background, and product type stuff like shooting a coke can on a table type stuff.

I was confused between the 2 lenses this video helped me very much thank you 👍🏻😉

Wala eh hanggang nuod nalang ako sa reviews ng lens at sony a6400. Informative video!! Deserve a subscribe!

You’ve got me sold. Thanks for the info and keep up the content!

Subbed! Thanks for the great content! My 35mm arrives tomorrow and you've got me even more excited to use it

This was an Amazingly Awesome video. I'm an artist looking to step into photography. Your videos have been so insightful, thank you so much brotha.

Congratulations on topping 1.5k subscribers too. 👏 🥳 🎉 🍻 🥂 🍾

I own this lens as well-my first ever prime lens-and I love it ever since. 90% of my shots were taken with this lens, the rest is with the kit lens. but I wonder, did you find the color fringing annoying? Because I hate it sometimes and I have to stop down my F to 2.8 to get a better image quality. But that's just me, I wonder if other people feel the same. Anyway, nice content! Thank you!

videographer/photographer na drummer pa, talagang amazing na awesome pa! cheers!

Don't get me started on how much I loved using my 35 1.8 in Japan.... Be it photo or video. Japan is perfect for 35mm and the compact size really helps with staying stealthy and adding to an overall lightweight setup.

Love the review for this lens! Just want to ask, you mentioned that you are using the Sony 35MM for this RU-vid headshot video. What camera body are you using?

actually, I was searching for my first prime that is flexy for photo and video shoots. Thinking about 30mm or 50mm for the APS-C camera (canon m50 shooter here) great content bro lovin' it :)

Hi Are this lens OSS work well (compatible) if I use with my A7c that also have IBIS? Thanks for this review 🤩✌🏽👌🏽

The video I needed right now!!!

but if you're rocking an a6500 and a6600, the 30mm 1.4 is the best choice. handheld all the way!

Hi Dan, I like this video but when you mention 35mm field of view is what you prefer. With Sony APS-C means you're actually getting 52.5mm field of view. So it's really a 50mm human eye equivalent you're getting.

Which lens is good? sony 50mm f1.8 vs sigma 56mm 1.4 for food photography + sometimes timelapse videography+ perfect potrait?

Very well done myfriend! Congrats! Enjoyed so much and subscribed for the "content creator based on the philippines"

Nice review. Planning to buy this lens din bro. Nice inputs

as an aspiring Cinematographer/photographer and a drummer, I really appreciate your efforts and sharing your ideas to others.

Now im torn 😂 yung new meike 33mm na ni review mo or ito 😂 wil ldo video din kssi pero wala ako mahanap if may stabilization ba si meike

“Amazing na awesome pa” 🥰🥰🥰

The first lens I bought for my zv e10 was this lens. I love it.

Man can you so some content about camera lens maintenance, cleaning storage etc. stuffs.

Speaking as someone who uses the Sony, we also have to factor in the fact that we are talking about a crop sensor. The difference between f1.4 and f1.8 is bigger for APSC than it would be for a full frame sensor.

New subscriber here, absolutley love your videos, just bought a a6400 and was clueless with which lenses to get. Which lenses which you recommend for landscape and night photography? Something that’s wide enough to get me good shots and bring a lot of light in?

Thank you! This helped me a lot!

Would you suggest this lease for vlogging style videos

Agree! Thank you

I'm planning for a6400 as a replacement for my iPhone. Should I just buy body and go with 35mm or kit lens is good to buy?

im picking up the sony 1.8 too over the sigma :) thanks for this video!

Thank you :) is it the fullframe version on amazon or the cheaper apc?

Hi Dan, on your sample photos , did you take it wide open F1.8 without cranking up ISO? Just so razor sharp and pleasing to the eyes! Saludo!!!

Thanks! Nice short but detailed enough video about the Sony's 35mm. With nice shots and OSS demo! Will buy that lens soon to replace the 16-55 in my bag. I think it will make a pretty versatile combo with my 55-210.

Is 35mm enough ba para sa wedding videography? Nakita ko kasi sa ibang vid na i should maximize daw the "frame" dahil crop lens daw yung a6400. I'm just about to get into the hobby so nagrerrsearch palang ako

Hi, How's this Sony compared to the 30mm GM f1.4 for Sony 6400 camera?

Is there much of a DOF and low light difference from f1.8 on FF vs f2.7 due to crop factor?

I just want to ask the community here. To see your thoughts to help push me to make a decision. I am just starting out and want a lens for great video recording. Am I making a great choice choosing this one?

Hi sir,i got my a6500 and it has ibis on it,do ibis and oss work together or need to turn off each one of that?

HAHAHAHA! gusto ko talaga ung napapasmile ka sa mga bloopers mo e 😂

1:13 noob query but can you tell me about this font/ font style?

Hello po magtatanong lang po since bago pa lang po sa sony systems, and a6600 po ang gamit ko if ever po ba ano po ang mas magiging maganda 30mm f1.4 sigma or 35mm f1.8 ng sony po? For cosplay and portrait photography po, medyo nalilito po kaso medyo madami dami na din po ako napanood na reviews eh salamat po

Sigma 30mm f1.4 autofocus noise how to fix thaht?

mulimeter mulimeter mulimeter mulimeter

In 2023, I just bought a 35mm F1.8 for my zv-e10 at 40% off the original price, which had only been used for three months.

Hello, may maire-recommend ka bang ND filter for the sony 35mm lens? Need ko kasi siya when shooting slog2 footage eh

LOVE 4RM INDIA

I just bought it in 2024

❤

OSSum!!!! Hahaha! Yezzir 35mm!

Maaan please get to the point direct

FIRST

lol, so biased to Sony...damn...this is a bad video

I had the Sigma 56mm to pair with my ZV-E10, I thought the autofocus was great until I tried out the Sony 50mm... Long story short, I sold the Sigma for 500SGD and bought a used Sony 50mm for 210SGD and still have fund for a Sony 35mm. Sometimes I still miss the extra focal length and that sweet 1.4 aperture, but at 50mm and 1.8 aperture, the Sony is not that far behind.

Valid points. Both lenses are great and you can't go wrong with either! I stuck with the Sony for the compact size and OSS

Hello, i will buy the Sigma 30mm (i love the Sony too but 30mm is better than 35mm for what i need, and of course the price) but there is something i wanted to ask you. If I put the Sigma UV filter on my lens, can I use the lens hood at the same time ? Thanks a lot salamat

Nice. I guess you're also a drummer. 🤘Tnx man. Now I'm happy with my Sony 35mm F1.8 oss

Sticking to my sigma as of now

it's 2023 and I'm considering this as my 30ish mm prime, the sigma counterpart doesn't have OSS and I don't have and don't want to carry a gimbal everywhere.

Sigma1 16 vs tamron 11 20 next?

Bro why you do this when i bought the sigma 30mm CUZ OF YOU 😭

this is exactly what I've looking for! thanks

Thanks for convincing me to get the 35mm🤩

Interesting... 🤔 I struggled with this same choice but ended up with the Sigma. Most of my vids with the sigma will be static studio stuff and if I get on the move have a Ronin SC. Luckily also have the 18-105 Zoom too. I noticed in one of your recent videos the Sony 35 and wondered why you'd bought that as well as the Sigma 30. Now I know!! If I get the chance I may still pick up the Sony 35 as the possibilities for run and gun with such a small and light setup look interesting. Your opinion has helped confirm exactly that. Again epic content. I think you have a really strong position to grow being focused on growing a channel around the a6xxx ecosystem. I think you may have found a great gap in the market. Good luck!

In your own camera will be functionally to the change for OSS but in my case I have a6600 both will be working well I be happy with Sigma 30 mm.

Wait until you get an 85mm...then do this video again.

Hello sir. Is it okay for vlogging, like handheld using sony 6400 or baka sobrang zoom in na po ang mukha?

Sir pa review naman po ng YONGNUO 50MM 1.8 DA DSM if may chance.. for our a6400 apsc cam

Great video, very informative. Now I know what lens to buy. You just got one new subscriber :)

subscribed!

Ganda nito bossss. Solid review. 👌🎥

Love the sample shots. I also love compact but very capable lenses. In fact, I also have the Sigma 56mm, and l love the IQ and how compact it is.

Hello dan, thanks for creating such a good content. I am here for help ,kindly assist. I have kit lenses for Sony a6000 and wanting to move to prime lenses from sigma. As Camera do not have any mic input. I wanted to know from your personal experience, if you have to put all the trios in ascending order of auto focus noise. How will they be 30>56>16 or some other order. Waiting for reply :)

Anyone else's sony 35mm lense autofocus loud? Or is that just me?
