@tykazowsky 6 лет назад

Thanks for the video! Love your content, been watching every video you make ever since I was even shopping for the a6000, you are my most trusted opinion

@Marlon5k 6 лет назад

My dear friend, thank you so much for all your reviews!, Today my girlfriend and I got our first prime lens for our a6000 and it was a Sigma 30mm F 1.4 !! We are amazed of how good it is, if it wasn't for all your professional opinions we wouldn't make up our minds as we just did. Big fans over here in DR 🇩🇴!!

@NewsToAstonish 6 лет назад

Can’t wait to watch this video! I have this camera with 4 lenses.

@gendij 6 лет назад

More and more like your video. Your recommendations really match with my needs and this video convinced me to get sigma 16mm. Thanks for your works!!

@lodjic3840 6 лет назад

great video again, I found you recently on youtube and your videos were really informative, so I had to watch a lot of your vids :D And thank you again for your reply and this video, I am definitly going to buy the 35f18!

@WASWIR 5 лет назад

Thanks for your recommendation and this Vide! You helped me making my choice. I'm gonna go with the 35mm 1.8 👍😀

@dunnadidit 6 лет назад

I did a video like this a few weeks ago now of my favorite 3 lenses. We have some similar taste in some of them! I also mentioned some other options for people if they weren't liking the ones that I gave them! Great video!

@GeoChild 6 лет назад

I really appreciate how you do videos on the a6000. It's an oldie but it is still so good.

@edc5338 6 лет назад

I have 4 of the 5 you mentioned and I am blaming you and your excellent videos for it!😀 On a recent vacation though, I mainly used the Zeiss 16-70mm just as an all around lens and the 16mm Sigma which fit well in a small camera bag. The worst part of the A system are the lousy batteries. They die quickly. I hope Sony does something about them before coming out with the A6700 that is rumored. I am mainly a Nikon FX guy but at my age, the lighter weight of these A cameras are nice!

@slr7075 6 лет назад

Perfectly explain. All stellar choices of primes. Alot of people think that there is no lenses for Sony Aps-c e-mount but they're wrong. There is a lot of great lenses as you mention and a ton more.

@dtj41 6 лет назад

Well, to be fair the selection of zoom lenses blows. I've heard good things about the 70-200's but those prices... O_o

@TheMisterTango 6 лет назад

I'm really glad I stumbled across your channel. I recently decided to get the a6000 once I get the money, and that camera is basically what your whole channel is based around. It will primarily be for video, and based on your videos on it, I think it will be able to get me beyond that "home video" look into something more professional looking.

@tianabantis1059 5 лет назад

Great video! I have the Sigma 16mm and it’s the only lens I use for my videos. I will probably get the Sony 35 next. I was torn between that and the Sigma 30mm but Im leaning towards the Sony 35 based on size alone.

@ArthurR 6 лет назад

The 35mm is great, no complaints about that lens.

@noisackda2564 5 лет назад

Same dilemma and leaning towards the Sony for the better auto focus and size.

@acekhmer 4 года назад

Does the sigma 16mm have image stabilization? I have the a6000 and want to use this lense for video but I know the a6000 doesn't have image stabilization, plus I have no gimbal

@YBPlaysMusic 6 лет назад

Hi TechnologyMafia! I was waiting for this video ever since you made the bachelor video between the sony 35mm and the sigma 16mm :p Thank you, it's a great help for sony users! I have a sony a6300 and bought a sony 18-105mm f4 to have some versatility. I wanted to buy a second lens and at first, I was doubting between the sony 35mm and the sony 50mm. But when I saw your video of the 16mm I was starting to get interested and watched some other videos. Now, I've decided that I want the sigma 16mm as my second lens, thanks to you! I find your videos super useful and informative!

@laurencegr5338 5 лет назад

Thank you for the recommendations. Saves me a lot of time.

@edc5338 6 лет назад

Great video! I have several E lenses now and the ones I use most often are the Sigma 16mm, 35 1.8 and the Zeiss 16-70.

@NS2Las 6 лет назад

Thanks for your outstanding tip on lenses a while back, I was able to come into some hard cash and picked up the Sony PZ 18-105mm F4 G OSS, dang I am just in awe over the quality, and clarity of this lens. Just wanted to say thanks 🤙🏼✈️ Safe travels

@jaym5323 5 лет назад

Ah brilliant video! Bought the 35mm 1.8, love it! Any chance you could do a video on long exposure during the day, in particular, which nd lens is right for the 35mm. I really trust your judgement!

@ricardosoares5384 6 лет назад

Nice video... What about one with the top 5 lenses for the full frame A7 ;)

@magallonmama 5 лет назад

@jinhobaek 6 лет назад

It is really helpful video for me. Just bought a6000. Only using kit lens for now. I have been researching prime lenses this video is really good run down. I am mainly shooting kids and landscapes. Thank you.

@iGuille 5 лет назад

Very helpful and was exactly what I was looking for in terms of input on what to get next after my Sony 50mm f1.8! Thank you!

@NanoOrte 6 лет назад

I agree with you. I subscribed to your channel a few months ago and I always follow all your lens reviews. It helped me to finally get myself a a6500. So far I have purchased 3 lenses, and 2 of them are in your list; the sigma 16mm and sony 35mm. The third one is a Samyang/Rokinon that I got on sale for less than $200, the 85mm F1.4 manual focus. I am using this gear for both of my youtube channels, and even though I am starting and learning, I couldn't be more satisfied. Keep the great work!

@andreslinn69 6 лет назад

@BenL1242 4 года назад

Hi Arthur. Great video! What about a list of your favourite zoom lens?

@mariob80 5 лет назад

great video, so clear and informative as always

@GallaghersGrub 6 лет назад

Love that you put the Sigma first, but I would still recommend the Sony 35 as the #1 must-have lens for most people. The Sigma 16 is a beautiful lens, but it's big, has no OSS and the wide angle can be tricky. When I'm taking out my a5100, I almost always choose the 35. To me, this is the perfect three lens collection: Sony 35 (portraits/general walk around ), Sigma 16 (wide angle/mountains), Sony 18-135 (travel)

@delagente6922 6 лет назад

What do you mean by “the wide angle can be tricky”?

@chromaticvisuelle 5 лет назад

Well, 16mm you get 24mm at the end ;) which is normal on full frame

@TidesOnEarth 4 года назад

Great advice! Thanks. What about video?

@JL-fh4qw 2 года назад

16 mm is the most versatile, even with general stuff. And sharpness is much better than 35. The OSS is only a big issue if you're focused on videography and you're not using a gimbal. The Sony has slightly better autofocus. But the sharpness and wideness are far more important imo. The size may be a disadvantage for portability but allows you to have another place to grip your camera.

@jp24priceof12 6 лет назад

I have been watched most of your video, and another great video, thank you for sharing. I have purchased the Sony 35mm f1.8 and the Sigma 16mm f1.4 ever since watched your reviews about them. These are my to go lenses, I am super happy with them. Thank you.

@Black3ternity 6 лет назад

Thanks, been lurking through your channel for a while now and I'm deciding to buy a new lens. I own the 16-50 and 55-210mm kit lenses. I have a manual focus Minolta F1.7 and I realized that I need more light and sharpness. Thus, the Sigma 30 and the Sony 35 came into play. But thanks to your comparison videos and this Top 5 list, I know that I will get the Sony 35mm for my A6000. Wish I had the A6500 but I had a killer-deal for the whole set of my camera which was a fraction of the price for a A6500 without any lenses. Keep up the nice work.

@m00tmike 5 лет назад

Just ordered a sony a6000 and a sigma 30mm. In anticipation I've already watched a few of your videos. Guess I should sub lol. thanks for the info

@TaylorCFP 6 лет назад

I have the 50mm 1.8 and just bought the 85mm 1.8, and I have to agree, the 85 is awesome even though it's designed for full frame. The creaminess of the bokeh and the overall sharpness is just awesome for portraits.

@LeonUnity 6 лет назад

This is great, we just got an A6500 and were looking at lenses, you named two of the lenses we had on our list, the Sigma 30mm and the Sony 50mm - based on price points versus the Sony 85 and Sony 35, we'll stick with the ones we were looking at for now but might get the others in the future. Very curious about the Sigma 16mm lens though, might have to look into that when we're a little further down our path. Well done, sir!

Hi, I own a 6300 and love your channel, the first thing I realized is I can understand you everything!, English is not my main language and I have some problem here and there always listening any review/podcast/film/movie whatever, sometimes I even can’t get any, seriously, that’s something very important :)

@chelseapettegrew8059 5 лет назад

@signalvideo1 6 лет назад

Great choices! Thanks for another awesome a6000 lens review. I have the 85, 1.8 and it is so close to a 135 on the a6000.

@ernestnaaz5675 5 лет назад

Nicely done. Extremely helpful for a neophyte.

@BlikinU2 5 лет назад

Long-in-the-tooth hobbyist dating back to my first SLR which was the Olympus OM-10 that boasted ISO25-1600 and shudder speeds up to 1/1000, so ANYTHING made today is a dream. Watched this episode at least 3x, read hundreds of reviews and was perplexed that you still kept the ultra light and short kit lens 3.5-5.6 16-50mm. Bought the f/1.8 35mm prime lens today for my A6300 and really like the speed and extra f/ stops in keeping with your review. Furthermore, I never found a “bad” review for the prime. My modestly critical eye noted that in an outdoor daylight setting I now see why you still like the small kit lens as it kept good pace with the prime lens and the 16-50mm zoom is handy. The kit lens does lag behind on dim lighting and focus speed is a bit slower but not by much. I’m keeping the kit lens too. Time will tell how I like being a two legged zoom lens with this prime but it can’t hurt getting more steps logged in for the day. Your reviews are outstanding and this review was a major factor on my latest purchase.

@jamesmorrell2901 5 лет назад

I like a decent zoom as my "walk around" lens for outdoors shots with my Sony A6000. I bought the Sony 18-135mm based on the Technology Mafia review, and I've been really impressed with the results I've seen from this lens so far. Based on the recommendations in this video and others I chose the Sigma 16mm f1.8 for wide angle shots; the Sony 35mm f1.8 for indoor portraits and video; and the Sony FE 85mm f1.8 for outdoor portraits and other medium telephoto uses. These four lenses should cover most every situation that could come up for the type of photography that I do.

@photosteeve 6 лет назад

Sony SEL18-105 used to be my fav to go travel lens but it's not that sharp and I find myself barely using the zoom. I know travel with Sigma 30 1.4 and 16 1.4. Only using prime actually pushes me to think about composition and not be lazy! I used to have the 50mm 1.8 for my portraits but i've seen that even just using the sigma 30 1.4 does the job as it's so so sharp. Good video man, keep it up

@shakazulu2442 6 лет назад

Great video! Would also love to see you do a review of the sony zeiss 55mm f1.8 at some point on the a6000 bodies. Thanks

@leroyludwig221 6 лет назад

I have just purchased the 50mm f1.8 OSS from your list and now started the waiting game for amazon to deliver.

@tesalsangma 6 лет назад

I always wait for your videos. I have a Sigma 30mm and a Sony 50mm. I love my Sigma lens. I’ve been wanting to buy the Sigma 16mm, but it’s not available yet in my country.

@JonniArmani 5 лет назад

Always great videos,)

@tylercybulski9586 6 лет назад

Great video Arthur! I took some of your advice into consideration, but ended up buying the Sigma 16mm 1.4 when the Sony 18-105 G Lens was not in stock at my local camera store. What a blessing! The Sigma is simply amazing and worth every penny! Pairs so well with the 30mm 1.4!

@ArthurR 6 лет назад

Tyler Cybulski Awesome! I am glad to help! The 18-105 is great, still my favorite zoom lens:)

@vietuser7 6 лет назад

Currently doubting between the 18-105 and 16mm sigma. Used for videography, shooting events and weddings. Which one do you recommend? Like the versatility of the 18-105 range but f1.4 > f4 any day..

@tylercybulski9586 6 лет назад

LT I can't speak for the 18-105, but the sigma is an unbelievable lens. I have the sigma 16 and 30mm lenses and they're a powerful duo

@kenoalbatros 6 лет назад

@wDec149 6 лет назад

just ordered the 35mm. thank you for the info :)

@p0rt0b0y 6 лет назад

I went with the Samyang 12mm 2.0, Sigma 19mm 2.8, Sony 35mm 1.8 and Sony 50mm 1.8. Covers most situations pretty well and none of them is very expensive. I also have both kit zooms and the Sony 30mm macro and a few other fast manual lenses that are fun to play with.

@lanx0003 5 лет назад

The issue with this little Samyang gem is CA. Strangely enough, the more you stop down, the more CA you get. I don't mind manual focus and without exif reporting but the overwhelming CA is just annoying sometimes even you could somehow correct it in PP.

@cynthianunez1 5 лет назад

Thank you for the informative video. I just ordered your #2 pick for my Sony A6000. I’m excited to use it. Do you have a cheat sheet for the correct settings for taking outside photography, portraits, close up etc? I’m still learning and want to know f-stop, iso and aperture you recommend to get good shots. I’m also hoping to use this while on vacation in Argentina.

@redwinemademedoit 6 лет назад

Great review! I also have the A6000 since its inception and I also have the sigma 16/1.4 , and can back up what you say about it, being a great lens! I also had a 18-105 f4 sony and that copy was not good, it was a soft lens, and a few other lenses in between. But recently I have bought the Sony 70- 200 f4 ( in anticipation of the A6700 coming) and, as a usually prime shooter, I fell in love with it. Sharp, fast and 2 types of OSS, fantastic shots! Love your content keep up the great work!

@paulscottfilms 5 лет назад

Yes just followed up on you. Bought the Sigma 30mm 1.4 today. My kit sony lenses were not behaving well. This Sigma is great. Tomorrow I go back to get the Sigma 26mm. Thanks very much for the review, Paul Scott

@TheGreatGandalf09 6 лет назад

Agree with the sigma 16 mm. Razersharp and nice colors.

@andyshin7291 6 лет назад

For a6000 users, 85mm f1.8 is pretty challenging to use since it has no ibis or oss. Hard to get the best out of the lens. I’d say 50mm f1.8 is a great cheaper alternative.

@ZenoKaufmann 6 лет назад

so many cool pictures from my country switzerland!

@alansarpy 5 лет назад

You have one of the best channels for Sony ! I’ve bought 3 lenses based on your recommendations... 1 question I have for you... what lens wide angle “compact” lens would you recommend? I do own the sigma 16 1.4 but the lens to me is kinda bulky... I was thinking about the Rokinon 12 2.0 based on what you have said about it ... I don’t mind having to manually focus ... thanks !!

@lordshukay 6 лет назад

Awesome video :) thx you from me and my a6000 However all what you have said about the 50mm is true.. it is difficult to use it not for portraits, also in closed places
