@healing2gether 5 лет назад

Well you and Gerald talked me into getting this lens ;) and Ive been loving shooting portraiture with it on my A7iii...Thanks! Question though, I just noticed that my JPEG max L size drops to 10m when I put this lens on my A7iii....I’m confused??

@dunnadidit 5 лет назад

Haha well that’s good to hear! Yes, because this lens is designed for apsc cameras, when you put it on your a7iii it automatically goes into crop mode which means that you’re cropping your sensor by 1.5. So out of your 24 pixels, you’re only using 10 or so. Which is still good for posting online as long as you don’t have to crop in a lot.

@GordLamb 5 лет назад

I just received my 56/1.4 for MFT (mounted on a g85). It's strongly competing against the 30/1.4 as my new favorite lens. The bokeh is absolutely gorgeous at any aperture, and it's so beautifully sharp wide open. Makes it feel like I'm shooting on a full frame camera at half the weight. Between the Sigma 16, 30 and 56, and (hopefully soon for me) the Samyang 135/2.0, there are so many breathtakingly good MFT options these days. Regarding the focal length, it's also *awesome* for nature stills photography and indoor sports.

Hey bro question When I put my 56mm 1.4 on my A7III, I notice the brackets on the screen. Almost like the phase detection brackets or af brackets. How do I remove these brackets?

@dunnadidit 5 лет назад

I’m not 100% sure tbh. I don’t have an a7iii to try it out with, but it sounds similar to when I use clear image zoom. You may not be able to change that.

@dunnadidit 5 лет назад

@enohav 5 лет назад

@@BrandonColePhotography I am guessing it automatically goes into crop mode because it is an ASPC lens, but that is just a guess. I have the 56 for m43.

@MistaFussichannel 5 лет назад

It’s automatically gone into crop mode. It’s just to let you know that you’ve put a cropped lens on a full frame body. You can change it to full frame in the settings and the marks will disappear. You’ll have a wider field of view but it will have a vignette.

Nice review. Great channel. Time to subscribe. I am a fullframe Sony shooter, but I really liked what the a6400 was offering. I also really wanted to the 35 and 55 zeiss. Tho these Sigma are even better in a way. So I ordered the 16,30,56. Looking forward to it.

Nice one Dunna, real nice review of this lens man. Been toying around with the idea of it. Currently using the 1.8 50mm Sony lens so not sure if its worth swapping it out just yet.

@dunnadidit 5 лет назад

Thanks brother! I have the 50mm too(as I’m sure you saw from the comparisons in the video) I think the biggest thing for a lot of people is that the 56 doesn’t have oss and the 50 does. So if you shoot on the a6000 or a6300... it’s tough. If you shoot on the a6500, the upgrade is a lot easier to justify.

@suitcasejunkies8719 2 года назад

Thank you 🙏🏼. Still learning the different types of lenses and what they do, especially with crop sensor cameras, it’s all foreign to me.

@WildernessAthlete1 Год назад

I just ordered this for my A6400! I'd love some opinions on how this will perform considering there is no IS in the lens or body of the camera. I don't shoot much video if any and mostly plan to take portrait style photos with this while hunting and being outdoors. I have the 30mm sigma prime, and the kit lens (with OSS) which I use mostly for running and gunning. I've heard I will struggle with focused images in low light situations - however, I do use a tripod a lot. Especially for long exposure night shots etc. Should I be concerned?

@fayezmourad2942 5 лет назад

An 80mm with f1.4 would be ideal for me😍 Sadly mine just gave up on focusing automatically recently out of the blue! 🙄

@dunnadidit 5 лет назад

Oh no! That’s so weird! Gonna get it repaired?

@KeepingThisTech 5 лет назад

Great video! Do you think the AF compatibility will carry over into Sony’s new A6400?! It seems to be a revamped AF System all together. Thanks!

@dunnadidit 5 лет назад

Yeah it totally should! I think a lot of the new AF system comes from the new processor. If anything it should just make it better!

@JimKalligas 5 лет назад

Great vid once again Dunna! 2 questions for me. 1) Is it possible to handheld video without ibis? 2) how would you compare it with the sony 55mm 1.8 zeiss if the price is not an issue? Keep it up mate!

@dunnadidit 5 лет назад

Hey Jim! Thanks so much! 1. It might be a bit sketchy, I found that even with ibis, I had to be quite careful. But if you’re willing to take the extra time to steady yourself and try a few times to get the shot, it’s doable. 2. I don’t have any experience with the 55 but from what I’ve seen, I think this lens will outperform the 55mm

@RobertWhitfield 2 года назад

Great review! I just got this lens and it is tack sharp! Regarding auto focus, this is my second auto focus lens so not an auto focus expert. I have my A 6500 set on Continuos AF and center spot and the lens set to Apature is slow to focus! If I aim it at a picture frame 12 feet away and it grabs focus, then I put my hand up 3 feet in front of the camera, it won't focus on my hand unless I half press the shutter? I called B&H thinking I have a defective lens and the particular rep I got said that kind of auto focus where you just point the camera at something and it grabs focus when you move between near and far subjects only works in video! What say you? I thought modern auto focus cameras were supposed to quickly grab focus in photo mode as well? I see various lens reviews for Sigma and Tameron on 6000 Sony APSC and the focus is snappy between a near and far object - is that automatic or are they quickly half pressing the shutter? Thanks for your insights!

@johndonaldson5126 5 лет назад

@chosenideahandle 4 года назад

It's definitely more practical shooting portraits with a 56mm on APS-C, but of course it's the optical qualities portrait photographers are after using an 85mm (and you'll only get that with an 85mm regardless of the camera). Rather than standing a mile away, I'm still more inclined to shoot portraits with a 56mm on an APS-C, and that f1.4 makes up for what little you might lose not shooting a longer focal length with a 1.8 or 2.8. I've been pondering replacing my long since sold 85mm 1.8 with this 56 if I don't move everything to full frame

Even if MFT is not the goto system for that kind of photo. With a star tracker, it works just fine. You just have to know how to use photoshop and photo stacking softwares.

Hey Dunna, I just watched all your trilogy review of the sigma lenses. I'm new to videography and I want to buy 2 lenses. What do you think would be a good combination for travel?

@dunnadidit 5 лет назад

Well, if you were using it on a crop body, 85mm would become 127.5mm so it would be quite zoomed in. Also, dxomark rated the Sigma 30mm higher than the Sony 85 f1.8 when mounted on the a6000. And I think this lens beats the 30mm, so I think in the end, this one will be better quality than the 85 and a more manageable focal length too.

@dunnadidit 5 лет назад

Thanks! I definitely think so. The 56mm is definitely a step up. Especially if you can sell the 50mm to get back some of the cash!

@matthewbrown6537 5 лет назад

That’s what I was thinking. I can probably get $150 or $200 back on the 50 1.8 and then get the 56! Thanks for the advice!

Noob question, this VS say a 30mm sigma but with the 30mm taken at a closer distance? Basically you shoot nearer for the 30mm so that the subject is about the same size (like a person). What is the difference? I'm new, sorry

@dunnadidit 4 года назад

Hey! So the difference there is something that people refer to as “lens compression” here’s a video that will kind of show you what’s going on. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ACFV3aHjbyg.html Between 30 and 56, if you move to make the size of the subject similar, I feel like it won’t be a HUGE change, but it will be slightly different.

@lvca.avellino 3 года назад

I have the 16mm (top). Now I would like the 56mm. I don't now if is better the panasonic 25mm 1.7 or sigma 30 1.4...

@chaitanyakiranh 4 года назад

Bro...I have 18-105 (only for zoom and videos) and sigma 16mm. I used 16mm for everything like landscapes, family pics, street photography, indoor photography etc; I m super pleased with it. Now can you educate me if 30mm makes any difference? Do you think 16mm is for landscapes only and for rest of the situations 30mm is more preferable? I am thinking to add 56mm for my 16mm to complete my collection for all kind of photography skipping 30mm....with little planning I can afford 30 and 56 both in few months time but don’t want to throw away money for something that is not useful....plz suggest

@dunnadidit 4 года назад

I personally use the 30 more often than the 56. The 30 is a bit more versatile whereas I find the 56 is really zoomed in.

Should I still buy it for my a6000 or just get th Sony alternatives with OSS? What it is like to shoot with the Sigma trio on the a6000 hand-held? Thanks for any answer, would be very helpful.

@dunnadidit 5 лет назад

Hey! The sigma stuff is still alright on the a6000, you just have to be very careful and deliberate with your movements. If you’re hoping to be able to just wander around and point the camera, probably not the best. But if you’re willing to take your time and get smooth movements, then they will be ok. Especially the 16mm

@laurencegr5338 5 лет назад

@@dunnadidit | Thanks. But I'd still get usable shots when I shoot with these lenses hand-held right? Especially under good lighting and with a tripod on low light. What do you think?

Absolutely possible. I use them handheld with my a6400 regularly. Again, I have the be careful, but it turns out great. And as soon as you are on a tripod, then it will be rock steady.

Can the in body lens correction in a5100, fix the pin cushion distortion of the sigma 56. I am currently using the sigma 16mm (and canon adapted lens) and mostly do landscapes. Would like to do portraits. Also will the sony 50mm be more versatile than the sigma?

@dunnadidit 5 лет назад

I’ve never had a problem with distortion just using the in body correction. The only advantage of the 50mm is the OSS but the 56 outperforms it in every other way.
