There's a new wide-angle lens in town for EF-M mount cameras - the Sigma 16mm F/1.4 DC DN. This lens is also available for Sony E-Mount and Micro 4/3 cameras, but I'll be reviewing the lens with the APS-C Canon M50. I'll also compare and contrast the Sigma against the lens I've been using on my M50 - Canon's 11-22 f/4-5.6. The Canon lens can also shoot at 16mm, so is there any point in owning the Sigma? Does it improve video quality on the M50? Check out my review to find out.

Thanks for this review. I couldnt decide whether to get the 11-22 but you convinced me to skip that one in favor of the Sigma 16. Have you tried the other Sigma lenses vs their Canon equivalent?

@lisavanggg 4 года назад

Todd Dominey Timestamps. 👏👏👏

@jKHAHN215PA 4 года назад

So the sigma 16mm attaches do the M50 without and adapter lenses ?

@arjunmaitra622 4 года назад

Hello Sir, I will be upgrading my lens for my M50 by selling of my existing 18-150EFM lens. Purpose: Landscape, Portrait, VLOG Please help me out what to pick without cutting much into my pocket? Few I have shortlisted. Canon EF-M 11-22MM Canon EF-M 22MM Sigma 16MM F 1.4 Sigma 30MM F1.4

@MarcRodill 3 года назад

Do you remember what lens you shot this with?

@TheEverydayDad 4 года назад

That sigma 16mm is one of the best crop lenses ever made. Thanks for showing it to us with your M50!

@dominey 4 года назад

The Everyday Dad Thanks!

M50 s image quality tho..... (i don’t like it and unfortunately i have one)

@bryanbuff 4 года назад

I put this and the Sigma 30mm 1.4 on the Canon M6 II and loving it.

@EverydayFamilyFL 4 года назад

Its a great combo for sure!

@sean9820 3 года назад

Thanks for this outstanding overview. I bought the 16mm and truly feel it's one of the best purchases I have ever made. Feels like a 2k piece of glass. Absolute game changer for the modest M50. Just buy it!

@AMAETV 4 года назад

So stoked about this lens and I love this review! I feel like we could watch it with no sound and get all the info we need from the smile on your face while talking about the Sigma 😊Such a game-changer for vlogging on the M50!

@DoctorTristanPeh 2 года назад

Awesome video! Thanks for kind sharing & comparison! I just own a M50 mark II & also got the sigma f1.4 16mm lens. So excited to make more videos! 🤩👍👋🌟

@homeless3 2 года назад

hi Dr. I hope you wanna help me with this situation. I own a M50 mark II too and really want to buy the sigma 16mm but in the section of questions and answers the seller said that is not compatible with the mark II so i wanna know if you already have some problema with the lens? thanks a lot for your time.

@MickeyHassan 4 года назад

Thank you for helping me making my mind up. I was facing the same dilemma of ditching M50 for a EOS-r or RP due to the lack of affordable low-light lenses for it. I'm keeping the M50 now and buying this lens.

@DavidMoonForge 2 года назад

Great review! I really appreciate the side-by-side comparisons. I just purchased this lens for my Canon M50 and absolutely love it! It's a great focal length for the type video I shoot, and the performance in low-light compared to the kit lens is amazing.

@kobyohmarsomozo4351 4 года назад

Probably the most underrated reviews for a M50 lens, especially a sigma one. Great job and great quality (:

@dominey 4 года назад

Koby Somozo Thanks Koby! :)

@NotEvenThatsOdd 4 года назад

What a great review! I’ve been gathering up all the info I could find on this combo (Sigma 16mm on Canon m50). Well done!

@heartshapedfilms 4 года назад

lovely video - literally i'd love this set up for travelling commuting everyday set up really. I had the 30mm when i was using Sony but always wanted them to make this for M mount. really opens up the system a bit for the enthusiasts.

@MindLessWiz 3 года назад

Fantastic video! Super useful and well made comparisons, honestly one of the best pieces of content I've seen on this lens so far (and RU-vid is full of 'em). Props!

@arttiz01 4 года назад

I tested the Sigm 56 mm in my M50 in the PDN Expo last october in NY and I fell in love with it. I have owned the Sigma 16mm for Sony A6500 and I enjoyed shooting with it. The 56mm is in my wishlist right now. Thanks for this magnificent review

@matthewzagorski1597 4 года назад

This is the review I've been waiting for! About to order one now!

@HopeMkunte 2 года назад

I have watched many lens reviews but this one is the best one yet. Amazing detail with examples to match. I was sold on the Sigma the day I saw this and I keep coming back.

@zachlucas 4 года назад

Your set, lighting, and sound is perfect! Your videos are so comfortable and relaxing to watch. Great job! And thanks for the video, I'm looking at this lens now :)

@AliBaba-hn8tv 2 года назад

This is indeed the best comparison video between the Sigma 16mm F/1.4 and the Canon's 11-22 f/4-5.6, great details and accurate analysis that only a professional can present. Thank you very much for helping me choose which one to buy.

@BealsReels 4 года назад

@MrAyrit 4 года назад

@benjaminthancock 3 года назад

Best review of this lens in a straight “apples to apples” comparison. Thanks for helping make up my mind on the Sigma. 👍🏼

@doctorlovera 4 года назад

Great review. I'm hoping to move from APSC-DSLR to Mirrorless in the next years and lenses like these make the APSC mirrorles system more mature and interesting. And they also make the corporations to invest more in crop mirrorless bodies, so I hope that in the future, those of us, who dont want or can spend in FF, will have great options. Now you can upgrade to the m6 kii or wait to see if there will be a m5 mkii or an m60. Again, great work. I wish the best for your channel.

@shoalins55 4 года назад

This was a great video. I was looking at sigma 18-35 mm f/1.8 Art DC HSM but now I feel like this is the lens I need for my set up.

@willstone8313 4 года назад

I *love* my Sigma 16mm f1.4! -Color, contrast, & crisp detail make stills that just *pop*. I use it on my Canon M50 and I also have the Canon10-22mm & 17-55mm f2.8 (the later of which stays on the camera by default) so those two other lenses overlap (more or less) with the focal range of the Sigma but, the Sigma blows the other two away for beautiful images! It’s the only prime lens I own so far and it’s the kind of lens that you want to go out and shoot with for hours. Sooo happy with it! Thank you for the great review!

@JasperTordilla 4 года назад

Finally someone did an ACTUAL REVIEW of this awesome lens! i've been thinking of getting this someday when it was announced. That 1.4 is so crisp! i was gonna ask if the Tiffen 77mm ND filter will make a vignette, but saw that you had the same ND filter as i did. awesome! i'm gonna use that mainly for video someday with my M50 + Ronin SC! Can you make more videos using this lens outside 😁👍 like a real world test or maybe a cinematic video using it. I'm subscribed so i'll be able to watch you use this lens.

@dominey 4 года назад

Jasper Tordilla Vlogs Thanks! Glad you liked the review. I think the Sigma looks really crisp as well. I’ve used the 11-22mm w/ the M50 on a Ronin SC and it works beautifully. At only half a pound heavier, I would imagine the Ronin should perform just as well.

@yeenybean2881 2 года назад

I just ordered this lens to help with noise in my limited lighting setup, as I don’t have the space to add more lights. I’m insanely impressed it was able to drop all the way to 200 ISO. I was expecting maybe 2000. The lens arrives in two days, so I’m even more excited now! And I’m not sure if maybe the Canon lens was a bit out of focus in that test, or if it’s just because the Sigma lens is that good, but the Sigma clips were a lot clearer, too. Your hair, facial hair, and different areas of your shirt were basically like going from 1080p to 4k in that comparison. Edit: The lens is a RIDICULOUS improvement in my somewhat low-light setup. I use a Canon M200 and I was able to go from f/4.5 1/60 6400 ISO with the kit lens to f/1.4 1/125 800 ISO with the Sigma. The highlights are much more balanced on my skin, the noise was greatly reduced from the drastic reduction in ISO, and the overall clarity difference is like going from a C to an A. INSANE value for $400.

@lindohlabisa9557 4 года назад

Thanks Todd, loved your review side-by-side... good.... this wasn't a lens i wanted but seeing it LIVE outside with the ND filter, I am definately getting it

@RovingChestnut 4 года назад

I have purchased the Sigma 16mm f1.4 ef-m and have used it on my last three videos with my Canon M50. OMG it’s transformed my videos! So impressed 😎👍🏻 I have already purchased the 56mm and I’m ordering the 30mm versions

@jeremycarter 3 года назад

This Sigma is the lens that I constantly default to when taking pictures indoors because of the low f-stop. I also like the build quality of the lens. I like some bulk in my hand when holding my camera compared to the stock prime lens. Great quality lenses by Sigma!

@samuelquinn4159 4 года назад

Review done right! Great comparison between the 2 lenses.

@michaelawengen7373 4 года назад

Thanks for your test. I just ordered the 50mm 1.8 Canon lens with a booster adapter and I first will wait on what results I'm gonna make with that setup on my M6.

@mirage711 2 года назад

Seriously that was probably one of the best lens reviews I have seen in a long time. Thank you very much you made me buy the sigma 16mm for my Canon M5 I was actually going to sell it because I own two Sony A7R3s which I love but my wife and I went camping and she used my little cannon and the pictures came out really nice I was surprised so I now own the sigma 16mm as of today I haven't had a chance to take it out but after watching your review I'm going to get to it. Thank you again

@RJinspire 4 года назад

I am solo travel vlogger with a Canon M50 that I love dearly. This was a brilliant review, I have been thinking of upgrading to Canon EF-M 11-22mm however, it doesn't offer that blurry background which means spending more money and adding focal lens Canon EF-M 22mm and that means three total lenses (kit lens, 11-22mm, 22mm). Your review helped me decide to save up for the Sigma 16mm and thanks ever so much. I have just subbed and thanks once again

This was the info I was looking for. Very good review and comparison for video 👍 PS look into the EFM 28mm F/3.5 Macro IS lens. Good for close range and general use. Better than 11-22mm F/4? 🤔

Fantastic comparison. I have the 11-22mm and 32mm for now, not sure I'll upgrade the 11-22mm as I already have a 1.4 32mm and don't vlog. Good to know how much better the 16mm is though 👌👍

@MakeTestBattle 4 года назад

Excellent review. I am interested in upgrading and I want to be able to film anywhere in nearly any lighting conditions. Years ago I borrowed a Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 for a trip across Asia and I loved how clear and how much contract the lens had wide open. Video Idea Suggestion: "Can you Vlog by Moonlight?", and compare the 16mm F1.4 to a Sigma 24mm F1.4 speed boosted to F1.0.

@vie6065 4 года назад

@NickBorsellino 3 года назад

This is a great video! I own the 11-22 and have been considering the Sigma 16mm since before I purchased my 11-22. When I stumbled across it I was pleasantly surprised that it is actually more of a comparison between these 2 lenses than a straight review of the 16mm. You might want to add that to the end of your title that it has an 11-22mm comparison, just a thought. I probably would have watched it sooner :) Thanks again have a great day!

Love the review! I just moved from a light studio to a darker studio and now I have to order a new lens becuase I want to maintaine the darker feeling of the studio, so this lens could be a good one! Also, can you please make a review of the setup you are using with the lights and evrything in this video. I think your studio looks W O W!!!
