Sigma 30mm F1.4 - Perfect for the ZV-E10, FX30 and APS-C 

Lol... that ending... 🤣

I bought this lens for my ZV-E10 and I can confirm that I bought it for my ZV-E10.

Ur style of presentation is really cool!! Clear content and it brings a smile too!

😀😀 Puts a smile on my face when I watch your videos. Keep it up, man.

Wow these lens video quality is just beautifully sharp

That’s a nice lens. Amazing. Sigma has always amazed me. My intro was with a 20mm 1.4. Heavy and big but it was awesome. Great info.

Excellent combo and great video as always. The Sigma trio is tough to beat.

This is my absolute go to lens for everything. Been full force shooting for a year now and this is my default.

Amazing lens! Just ordered my ZV-E10 and Sigma 16mm 1.4 following your other videos.

Fantastic video as usual and great product review Mark. Happy new year to you and your beautiful family. Keep well mate.

had to get the 30 for my m-50 back when I thought the m-mount still had a chance. but sigma has really stepped up. and this lens when doing light trails or other slow shutter fun is tasty.

You are always wonderful reviewer ❤

Cool video man !

Man! That intro... cinematic as F! Good stuff man, this is my fave lens thus far on E-mount for sure

I love my 30mm sigma 1.4 lense paired with my a6600 its the 1 and only glass I need... Excellent video!!

got this one myself, love it

I bought the Sigma 30mm based on yours and other RU-vidrs comments and I'm blown away by it in my studio (with me little Dougy)...Got the SAMYANG AF 12mm F2.0 Autofocus coming tomorrow from Amazonotron for outside VLOGging stuff. Thanks Marky Mark - you rock mate! 👍😀

You are just stellar Brother! Love this video! You rock! ❤

This was such a good video that I subbed immediately!

Very tempting, I already have the lens but paired with a A6000.

Merhaba dostum. RU-vidda araç bakım onarım videoları çekiyorum. Yeni zv e10 kamera aldım. Benim için hangi lensi önerirsin? Sigma 16 mm ile sigma 30 mm arasında kaldım. Sence hangisi daha parlak renklere sahip?

This is one of my favorite lenses!! I'm hoping to add the Crane M3 to my setup very soon to up my video game.

I have Tamron and Sigma lenses for my three old 35mm cameras. I like for the most part every lens I have purchased. My first lens purchase was a Canon 100 to 300mm telephoto lens for my AE-1. Cost was $360 in 1979 dollars. On the inflation calculator that is $1,378.25

I can’t believe you dropped this video now and 56 next. Me and you man. I’m dropping the 3 sigmas video on Friday. I promise I’m not copying you, I shot it all a few weeks back. Haha. Great shots bro! Dude you are killing it on RU-vid man

Mark just wanted to comment man, you've come a long way in 2 years from this video. I bought the sigma 16 mm f1.4 awhile ago through one of your links to help support you and it also was my first no-kit ( main ) lens. I really just wanted to comment though to make you see how far your channel has come. Been a sub for awhile. That fl1.4 is good because when i first got the Ev-10 and realized it can only go down to I think f 4.0 on a kit lens lol. I also took your advice and shoot 4k 24 and 60 MBPS( I am sure I screwed up the abbreviation ) instead of a 100 to save file size. I do wish the camera offered 2k because that's to me the sweet spot.

I owned the 30mm Sigma lens when I had my a6500. Such a great lens at a great price! It's a no brainier pickup for APS-C cameras.

Been mulling getting this lens for my a6400. This was helpful very, thank you. :)

i love the 16 f1.4 even on full frame since its so darn affordable and the autofocus is still great

Great video. Still on my wishlist this lens…… and every other lens you have shown.=

Mark I was wondering, any plans for a steadycam test for the ZV-E10 rig build video?

For the button drawback you can customize one of the buttons on your cam to AF/MF toggle. It is very useful for video especially.

Mark is a legend.

The 30mm is THE must have lens of the system. Great video Mark! Would you share some settings regarding this video? Did you use a ND filter? Thnx

wow this video is like a pro camera!!!

Thanks!

Hi Mark, thank you for the amazing videos. I am a Sony ZV e10 owner with Sigma lenses but I do not know how to use and edit them as you are doing. Would you mind if you make a video to teach what settings you use to take indoor studio as well as outdoor like this video with Sony ZV e 10? Plus, how do you edit them to make a clean and attractive results? Tool, application. And also how do you edit your video to switch from a regular motion to slow motion and again regular motion. I really like those things. It would be amazing if you make such an A to Z end to end teaching/course video.

This was the first lens I got when I jumped into Sony with the zve 10 I also picked up 12 mm broken on for my wide angle

nooooo where's tha "apple juice"??? I missed that in this video haha. great one man, thanks for sharing!

I love my 30 and 56! Been thinking about getting the 16 just haven’t pulled the trigger yet. But if they are currently on sale…

That ZV E10 is such an attractive proposition. 😅

I love your channel 😃

I was definitely tempted by the Sigma 30mm/1.4 for my a6400. In the end I went with a second hand Sony 35mm 1.8 - which is a bit more compact and has OSS.

Salute from fellow Torontonian!

Hello my brother and happy new year, thank you for sharing your experience with this lens, you know I buy the Sony 20mm G 1.8 and I love the quality of this lens, I don't know if you have it but I recommend it, a big hug ...

How set my camera to get those skin colors?, plsss teach me

Wawo great bro I love Sony camera 📸

sweet content! thanks for putting together. wish i could go take pics out here in Dallas at our "cool" and "eclectic" spots at 6am. unfortunately chances of getting robbed and/or murdered: pretty high!

Would you say this lens is the best for cinematic content?

Hey Mark! Thanks for a great review! These slo-mo scenes at the beginning - how exactly did you film them? Since SONY ZV-E10 doesn’t have 4K60, I wonder how you were able to look it so smooth

Hey dude I just wanted to know for videos shooting like reels and RU-vid videos which one is better 1. Sony full frame any camera WITH KIT LENSE (30mm f4.5 or 2. Sony crop sensor with prime lense (sigma 30mm f 1.4) which one is gives us brighter quality??

HaHa, always the entertainer my brother! Happy New Canadian New Year, well it's actually a new year in the states too, I don't get out much, kind of like you, I just talk to myself and people through a camera, because people are weird lol! Great video, the Gimbal shots look great, adding that sucker to my list along with this lens, for down the road. Gotta break in that SIgma 16MM 1.4 first, geeez that thing dwarfs my little ZVE-10 Dougie wanna be haha! I saw on a different comment, you still think that lens can be used for film making with a Gimball or Catalyst Browse without having to upgrade to this 30MM lens yeah? Enjoy that January Toronto air, man that's some cold stuff out there! Peace mi amigo.

how far are you from the camera here in the video? thanks

Hi Mark, the video you took outside when filming yourself, was that just natural sunlight or did you use an ND filter, or special lights when filming yourself? It looked beautiful.

Hello Mark the gorgeous, may i know what filter size for that lens? i want to buy UV and ND filter thanks 😊

Hi, How well it will work with out oss low light as my camera doesn’t have ibis

greag sharing 😍😍

Hey Mark, can you test this 30mm against the new 23mm from Sigma?! Is the new one really worth another $200ish dollars?

You remind me of David Spade lol. Great video, Definitely considering the 30mm 1.4 now 😀

Mark your videos are awesome.. With your advise i got the zv e10 with sigma 30mm 1.4 lens... Your autofocus looks awesome on your videos can you share the AF settings that you use

Great review. Any word on availability of the ZV-E10? When do you think they will be back in stock?

@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Just found your channel, thank you for the amazing content! Just got the ZVE10 with the Sony E 11mm F1.8 and the 55-210mm. I want a lens for portrait and street photography, between the sigma 30 and 56, which would you recommend? I loved the sharpness of the 56, but with the crop factor.. which would you buy? (Street, friends, family portraits). Best of luck Mark!

Great video as always Mark. Quick question, did you have to use a converter ring to use the lens with the ZV-E10? Sigma's product page lists this lens as an AF mount and suggests the use of the MC-11 converter ring, is this true? Thx!

Which camera do you use to shoot this video 😍👌

Is that a new splash screen logo?! I got the 30mm in my mad camera buying binge a while back, and it's real good.

Nice

I have a Sony Zeiss 35mm 2.8 that I use and punch into 50mm using the APSC mode. Seeing something with 1.4 with such fast autofocus for a fraction of the price hit close to that 50mm look seems like an absolute bargain by comparison. Sort of wish I did more research prior to buying the lens

nice!!! Hi from Belarus!

This is the lens that I personally on my zv e10 and its fantastic

Hi Mark, I follow you ... you are very strong! ;) I have a question for the zv-E10, what is the best lens between the Sigma 30mm F1.4 and the 16mm F1.4? Keep in mind that I only use it to make music videos with some external video shooting, I don't care about the photos and I don't care it takes me from 1 meter (I'm not a youtuber :)). The 30mm is lighter and has a more natural vision, isn't it? Thanks for the reply !

Great vid as always. I got my ZV-E10 (called him 'bud') around black friday last year (2021) for £485 (refurbished from Sony with 2 year warranty price including £60 cash back from ebay) Keep an eye out for Sony deals! I also have Sigma 30mm F 1.4. I plan to use this combo to shoot live bands (covid allowing) thought I would try mounting camera on mono pod with fluid head (manfrotto) as compensate for stabalisation, also will try catalyst browse, see which method is best. (Mark tip: if you have to wear a chest rug at least centre it , looks less false) I would also like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a happy new year and all the best

I owned it for around 48h ! The focus motors are really louder than the 16mm, the autofocus is jerky and breathing really too often. That was really annoying on the Sony A6400, and little less with the Zv-E10, but still not as good as the 16mm, even with FW update 1.3 It's a really great lens for photography, or for filming in Manual mode. To film with an AF-C autofocus (like youtube facecam), it was really too bad to keep it. So I advise people to get the 16mm that is just excellent and the 18-50mm F2.8 that is amazing. Have fun, and thanks for the videos mate !

Hey there. I was wondering which lense you recommend for vlogging food. Restaurant taste test and treet food vlogs etc. 16. 30. Or the kit lense？ Or something else？. Really appreciate the reply！

hi would like to ask which sigma lens for all rounder going onto my zve10. I would prefer a lil bit more on a wide fov 😊

Mixing jokes and content like that ... maaan these videos are masterpieces LOL !!!!

Hi Mark. Thank you for always giving so much helpful reviews and advice. But what would you recommend since I am battling between this lens Sigma 30mm f1.4 vs the PZ 10-20mm F4 G for vlogging and photography. Which one will you recommend? Thank you so much. ✨

Mark this was amazingly clear,i have to zv e 10 and the sigma 30mm,please can you tell me the settings you had for this video

Hi Mark! What lens would you recommend for filmmaking? I have a ZV-e10 but no lens yet! Thank you very much, nice vid!

Amazing how the 18-35mm in the zv e10 and did you know why they discontinued the production of zv e10 ?

woof the color fringing on the telephone wires and tree branches is really something with this lens

Pp7 setting for frofational colourgrad,i want to make music vedio and shortfilm so i need this setting from you.

is there a crop factor

Hi, i am using zve10 with lens kit now and looking for a lens which help me for my job to take photo of hair cause I’m hairstylist and also for traveling sometimes too. Is there any recommendation? Thank you

Hi I’m using the ZVe10 as well and debating between the Sigma 30mm and 16mm. For workout videos specifically which one do you recommend and why? I do want the bokeh background but I’m not sure if 30mm is too close being that I do mostly stable video since I have nobody to shoot for me. They both look great… I’m torn between the two.

I was just trying to decide between the 30 and 16 Sigma lenses. Leaning toward 30. Don’t really want to v-log but try product photography with bokeh or “toneh” as Casey says.

any pancake? for street?

Mark which one of the trio will you recommend for shooting cinematic shots with zve10

Watched this video atleast 6-7 times and don’t know if I should get it or the 16mm sigma. I’m trying to film cinematic gym workouts.

Hey Mark, I heard ZV-E110 has been discontinued, is that true? Because even It is not available in the local Sony store here in India neither over eCommerce portals. Not sure about US & Canada

So funny Ty

Lmao not only was this video super informative but man I was rolling 🤣 "bc I'm a creep" haha love the sense of humor.

Hi Mark 😊 ! your videos have been very helpfull and i bought a Zve10 yesterday after watching your videos. I rented and used a Sony G-Master 35mm full frame lense on my Zv e10 yesterday and liked the frame and view i was getting out of it. Do i have to buy a Sigma 56mm Dc Dn lense to get approx the same view or a 30mm will do ? Because few people are saying that sigma 30mm dc dn is made for aspc/ crop sensor and it will only look or give shots equivilant to 30mm. can you please help me with this !! Thankyou

Great help! I’m in Mississauga…. that sounds like an apology. Sigma 30mm 1.4 vs 16mm 1.4 - which is best for YT interview/head shot?

Hello Mr Bennett. I love your videos. I want to start a youtube channel and make videos indoors (mainly) talking infront of my camera. What lens would be the best for me between a. the kit lens, b. the 30mmF1.4 and c. the 16mmF1.4 ? I just ordered the sony ZV-E10. Thank you !

Which lens can do more background Blur Sigma 30mm f1.4 Sony 50mm f1.8

Can I use the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Leica L on Sony zve10?

Mark, this was a helpful video. But, as I am new to looking at Sony lenses, I am still learning, and have zero prior experience with Sony cameras or lenses. Please give your opinion on which you think is better for portraits (so primarily used for still photos, very rarely for video if at all), on a Sony APSC camera (eg. A6500). I would buy a APSC body that has IBIS and Eye Focus. I appreciate the f1.4 of Sigma 30mm f1.4, but I also see there is a Sony 35mm f1.8 that does have OSS. If one likes to do natural light, hand-held photos (portraits etc,) then would the OSS on the Sony be preferable to the Sigma? Would there be other reasons to get the Sony instead of the Sigma? I checked prices today, and see the Sigma is $264 but I also found a Sony 35mm f/1.8 OSS Emount for $332. That is a $68 US difference. But, if the OSS on the Sony lens is very beneficial for this type of photography, it could be justified. I do not know if Lens OSS adds to the IBIS or conflicts or causes problems or if the camera defaults to one or if both is preferable. Please advise.

Hey mark i cant decide if I should buy the sigma 56mm or the 30mm. To use it as a hybrid for professional portrait fotos and team fotos. Which lens would you choose for these tasks? would really apreciate your opinion on this. Thanks

I really like Sigma lenses, but I bought a Viltrox 23mm f1.4 to get a 35mm equiv. I still have the 16mm Sigma 1.4 on my want list. Please do the FullHD quality test video on the A7IV and ZV-E10 ... I really like shooting FHD instead of 4K and haven't upgraded camera bodies because I don't want a quality downgrade. Cheers

I just bought the new sigma 18 - 50 f2.8. I believe you will love it. Please buy it and make a review

Man do you have any promo ocdes for these lenses ????
