The De Facto "Normal" Lens for Micro Four Thirds! Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Review (For GH5, G9) 

It is a great lens! Very unique field of view. I quite like it.

i currently shoot portraits with a G85, this lens is a solid buy? (i have the panasonic 25mm f1.7)

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching! I will try to get a hold of one. :)

i have the 56 and the 30 .. and well they work about the same i think.. just different focal lengths. I will say i like the compressed tele look of the 56 more but the 30 is more practical in a lot of situations.

Hello. If you think the 45mm is too tight, then this 30mm would be definitely be wider and more general purpose. If you have a zoom lens that covers 30mm, test out the focal length and see if you like it.

Thank you! 😊🙏

No, it works natively.

In the unboxing video I was thinking Mohammad, I love your nails! 🤣

Hahaha.

Well, it's MFT after all. Thank you!

@@FabledFew I'm waiting on an old Pen F lens to show up. The 42 1.2. Thats going to be amazing on my digital Pen F. If you ever get your hands on one, I'd love to see you review it. Blessings!!

Hello, and thank you for watching! It really depends on what type of shot you're doing. If there's a lot of movement, it does tend to get confused and lose focus. However, more static shots will be fine. Note that autofocus works a lot better in 4K60 than other frame rates.

@@FabledFew ok in the meantime, thank you for your kind reply. Normally I don't shoot big movements these are music videos on my tracks. I'm sending you a link below. I am a musician. Anyway, thanks you reassured me. I already have a Panasonic 15mm and an Olympus 25mm. For a second camera Between this lens and the 25mm Panasonic which one would you suggest? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-46_JayDmquA.html

Since you already have a 25mm, I would suggest getting a new focal length. This 30mm would definitely be a good choice!

@@FabledFew tks my friend 🙏

@@FabledFew dear friend, in the meantime, thank you for your availability. Since you are an expert, I ask you a trivial question for you but as you will have understood I am not an expert and I can not find the solution: when you are in AFF video mode how do you enable the lens ring in order to move the focus from one point to another? Practically as it is set, if I turn the ring does not change the focus I have to go and click on the touch screen ... Instead I would like to do it with the lens ring, also because on my Ronin SC combo I have the focus motor. I state that on the menu I have already activated AF + MF but it does not work. what else do i need to adjust? Thanks for your help

It is focus by wire, so there are no hard stops and the turn depends on how fast you turn the ring.

Yes it does!

Sure you can.

I have only tested the PanaLeica 25mm in a Panasonic showroom, so I don't have comprehensive test knowledge to draw from. It's a nice lens, but it's one of the older MFT lenses, so its focus is not as fast as the newer Panasonic lenses. I would say it would be on par with the Sigma 30mm. The Sigma is a bit bigger, but I prefer its tighter focal length, as explained in the video.

Sigma is much better. I sold my panasonic 25mm to get the Sigma and I don't regret it

@@FabledFew thanks. In 2019 Panasonic released a mark II of the 25/1.4, probably to adress the AF issue.

@@SebastianReick Yes. They did. The one I tested was the older version. The new version also has weather-sealing.

That’s weird because I try to make sure everything is at 0 db, but I’ll make a note on that. Thank you for watching.
