Sigma Lenses RESCUED CANON | 16mm, 30mm, 56mm f/1.4 Review


what’s up people siggy right here as well as invite to one more technical err talk today I’m gon na tell you just how Sigma saved canon I was so thrilled when Sigma introduced that they were gon na release the 1630 and also 56f 1.4 triad for the canon eos m if you’ve been considering canon aps-c mirrorless cameras over the past few years you’ve most likely discovered some criticism relating to the EF m lens install Canon remains in a little bit of a challenging scenario now because they’re trying to support four different lens systems we’ve obtained the EFS lenses which can be used on aps-c sensor DSLRs and also super 35 cinema electronic cameras we’ve obtained the EF lenses which are designed for full-frame sensors and also they’ll still function on aps-c as well as cinema cameras now we currently pointed out the EF m lenses which are created for aps-c mirrorless electronic cameras and after that ultimately the new RF lenses which are made for the full-frame Canon mirrorless cameras so obviously that’s a lot and the EF and also ef-s lines have been around for many years and there’s lots of alternatives at

various spending plans however having all these different lines makes it hard to create sufficient choices for the newer installs currently one of the significant criticisms of the EF m alternatives from Canon is the lack of fast tops and when I say fast I don’t imply the literal rate of the lens or the autofocus I indicate that it has a vast aperture and also the reason that these are called fast lenses is due to the fact that the big aperture let’s in more light and it enables you to contend faster shutter rates now if we’re making use of the EF EFS adapter after that we have a lots of alternatives since we’re considering that extremely complete and very established schedule of lenses and we can even utilize a speed booster similar to this one from comm light to get near full structure field of vision and also an additional stop of light when we make use of EF lenses on an EOS m body this is a super powerful choice I’ll do a devoted video clip

regarding it extremely quickly yet returning to fast- EF m lenses there just aren’t a lot of choices so we presently have the 22 millimetres f/2 and the 32 millimeter F 1 point 4 both of which are fantastic lenses actually that 32 millimeter F 1 point 4 is probably the most effective indigenous EFM lens Canon carries the market but that’s basically it and also this is been a deterrent for some possible buyers that have actually been thinking about the m50 or the m6 mark – both of which I really like so to the rescue comes Sigma with 3 sensational rapid sharp and budget friendly lenses the sixteen millimeter the 30 millimeter and the 56 millimeter F one factor 4 allowed’s begin by chatting about the lens that I’ve been using a lot lately the Sigma 16 millimeter F one factor four d CDN which sells for 3 hundred and ninety nine dollars this is an absolutely stunning lens and also there is currently absolutely nothing from Canon that also comes close in terms of vast angle as well as rate we’re getting around a twenty six millimeter full-frame comparable field of vision and canons closest lens would certainly be the 22 millimeter f/2

which is both slower as well as gives a tighter angle of view this lens has a 67 millimetre filter thread a minimum focus distance of 25 centimeters or 9.8 inches as well as makes use of 16 components in 13 groups it’s incredibly fast with a maximum aperture of f-14 and a minimum aperture of f/16 as well as when shooting at F 1.4 this lens allows in a lots of light and provides a shallow deepness of area currently this makes it a superb lens to use in low-light and due to the fact that it’s so broad it’s also a wonderful vlogging lens but even more on this later the sixteen millimeter is the largest of the three sigma lenses with a size of 72 millimeters or 2.8 inches a size of 92 millimetres or two factor nine inches and it evaluates in at 405 grams or fourteen factor 8 ounces and currently I’ve been using this lens a whole lot as well as its sony e-mount counterpart with the sony a6000 84 as well as 66 hundred currently next let’s take an appearance at the sigma 30 millimeter f1 factor 4d CDN which sells for 2 hundred as well as eighty 9 bucks it’s a rather tiny lens at approximately 65 millimeters or 2.8 inches in size 73 millimeters are two point 9 inches in length and also it evaluates in at 256 grams or 9.35 ounces it has a 52 millimetre filter thread a minimum focus distance of 30 centimeters or

11.8 inches and also there are nine components in seven the Sigma 30 mil is a straight competitor to canons thirty two millimeter f1 factor for the Sigma is a bit bigger and also much heavier and it has a farther minimal emphasis range at 30 centimetres versus 23 centimeters on the Canon currently both lenses have an optimum aperture of f-14 and a minimal aperture of f/16 however the Sigma currently markets for 289 dollars versus 479 for the Canon and also in my point of view this lens is a steal it will offer you around a 48 millimetre complete structure equal field of vision which is a wonderful alternative to making use of an awesome 50 on a full-frame sensor electronic camera next allow’s consider the Sigma 56 millimeter f1 factor for DC d as well as which at this factor has no counterpart from Canon the closest you can do to obtain a similar field of vision and also speed is to utilize an EF to EFM adapter and afterwards choose up among the 50 millimetre options from Canon the F 1.8 F 1.4 F 1.2 as much as rate mosts likely to Sigma 56 currently costs 429 dollars whereas the Canon 50 millimeter F one point 4 markets for 349 as well as the F 1.8 offers for around 150 dollars now

certainly you’ll additionally need an adapter which is around 160 bucks from Canon as well as there are some less pricey third-party alternatives the 56 has a very slightly larger diameter than the 30 millimeter so we’re considering 67 millimeters or 2.6 inches it’s noticeably much shorter at just 60 millimetres or 2.3 inches and it considers in at 280 grams or 9.9 ounces the filter thread size is 55 millimetres we have 10 components in six groups and also a minimal emphasis distance of 50 centimeters or 1.
64 feet like with the other 2 lenses we have an aperture array of F 1.4 to f-16 and also generally this is a wonderful lens to utilize for pictures we’re getting roughly a 90 millimeter full-frame comparable area of sight and with this longer focal length it’s mosting likely to provide you really nice separation from the background since of the added compression and also it’s tack sharp currently before I proceed to the following section if you like what you’ve seen up until now allow me understand by offering this video clip a thumbs up it aids me know what sort of content you such as so that I can make even more of it and if this is your very first time here go ahead and strike the subscribe and notification switches so you can keep up to day on the newest equipment and tutorials I’ve

obtained some picture as well as video examples to show you but initially I just intend to highlight a few of things that the Sigma trio share initial they all have a very vast optimum aperture at F 1.4 and also this permits a great deal of light to get to the sensing unit and also makes all three superb low-light alternatives it’s also gon na provide you extremely superficial deepness of field so you can divide your subject from the background the bayonet mount is created from brass for an extra safe fit and also durable building and also rubber securing is included in the mount style to make the lenses dust and dash resistant all 3 lenses function wonderfully with canons autofocus system you can make use of servo AF with face and eye detection for video you can also get continual autofocus subject monitoring as well as face detection zin electronic cameras like the m50 and encounter an eye detection in something like the n6 mark – all 3 lenses come with hoods which is an accessory that Canon charges you additional for unless you’re acquiring the higher-end l series glass and also this might look like a small thing however directly I value when a supplier includes these kinds of accessories instead than requiring an additional acquisition the Sigma lenses give complete departure information and come with built-in lens profiles which

automatically activate your video camera’s lens aberration modification for both outer lighting and colorful aberration as with the sony e-mount and the mini 4/3 variations of these lenses we’re not obtaining Sigma’s OS or optical stabilization but this holds true for each other Canon EF M Prime right now and given that there’s no m install cams that offer ibis or sensor shifting image stabilisation you’ll require to count on your electronic cameras in body electronic photo stablizing if you’re unsure what the distinction is I produced a short video that discusses it and I’ll link to it up in the corner as well as in the summary moving on I currently pointed out full-frame comparable field of visions however I wish to provide you a real-life representation of what that suggests as you could currently recognize canons aps-c sensor has a 1.6 x crop definition that so as to get the full frame equivalent we require to take the focal length of the lens and also increase it by one point six this makes the 16 millimeter a twenty 5 point six millimeter equal area of sight which once more is wonderful and also wide this is a wonderful choice for street digital photography landscape style realty and also astrophotography it’s also an excellent blogging lens and also I’ll show you some examples

later in the video the 30 millimeter winds up being a 48 millimeter equivalent which makes it a nice versatile lens it’s a tighter angle sight than what we obtain with the 16 millimeter which winds up carefully resembling what we see with our very own eyes currently this typically develops pictures with a natural and also pleasing appearance if you’re beginning out you may likewise like this because as you browse the viewfinder you’re seeing the scene in a very acquainted way which could help you compose your shots now carrying on to the fifty six we’re obtaining an eighty 9 factor 6 equivalent field of vision which in my viewpoint is an incredible focal length for pictures when you photo faces with bigger angle lenses you constantly need to be very mindful about distortion however with a longer focal size of the fifty 6 you’re excellent to go so if you’re gon na do a great deal of portrait job this is the one that you desire you also obtain wonderful compression and also bokeh compression implies that the background appears closer than it actually is and also at the very same time it’s perfectly obscured which creates terrific separation this short telephoto lens can likewise function well for you for sporting activities photography as long as you’re not as well away

from the activity okay let’s have a look at a couple of sample pictures to aid us see the difference we enter regards to compression and also bokeh with all 3 lenses are close to their minimum focus range starting with the 16 millimeter you can see that despite having this wide-angle lens we’re still obtaining terrific splitting up and also a superficial depth of field going on to the 30 mil you can see that these effects are multiplied the background is much more blurred out the bokeh circles are larger and also appear closer to the subject currently ultimately with the 56 where as soon as again we see also bigger bokeh circles and also a buttery smooth history next let’s take a look at a few pictures I’ll start in the contrary order due to the fact that I believe the 56 is the ideal option for this purpose it’s really a beautiful focal length enabling you to perfectly frame the topic while separating them from the background moving on to my 2nd favored focal size of the 3 4 portraits we have the 30 millimeter which as I discussed is a 48 millimeter equivalent so essentially you’re using a cool 50 and also we’re obtaining a bit even more of the scene below as well as a little much less separation as well as I would certainly enjoy to understand in the remark section which

focal length you favor for pictures and finally we’ll take a look at the 16 millimeter now of training course we’re obtaining a whole lot even more of the scene and it assists supply even more context for the shot and also you will obtain some distortion at this focal length so you need to be mindful of both your distance from the subject and also your make-up what’s truly good about this lens is that we’re still able to generate some separation from the background and also aid pull the eye to our subject following I wish to have a look at the intensity as well as information of each lens to aid with that I picture the very same scene with all three lenses each beginning at F 1.4 all the method up to F 16 I ensured to consist of a subject in the edge so that we have a factor of reference that includes details I expect basically every lens to be sharp in the center but where performance really attracts attention is in the corners allow’s start with the widest lens the 16 millimeter and also will first check out F 1.
4 I was truly pleased with what the lens provided also large open

currently mosting likely to F 2 we can see that the intensity degree boost right to the pleasant place being at around f/4 [Music] you going on to the 30 mil we’re still getting good detail at f1 factor for folding to f2 we can see the level of information increase and afterwards once more we’re seeing the sweet place at around f4 Let’s relocate on to the 56 which could be the sharpest of these three lenses even @f 1.4 I can see an excellent degree of information even in the edge and when again as we anticipate when we move to f/2 or raising this and like with the various other 2 the pleasant place is right at around f/4 now I’m going to reveal you a focus examination for stills so I’m gon na relocate from one topic to the next I’m alternating back as well as forth with all three lenses and see how they carry out beginning out with a 16 millimeter next moving on to the 30ml and afterwards lastly the 56 the next examination I’m mosting likely to reveal you is for video and also I intend to see exactly how rapidly as well as effectively the lenses pull focus with continuous autofocus when again we’re mosting likely to begin with a 16 millimeter action on to the 30 millimeter and afterwards ultimately the 56 following allow’s check out vlogging which is where the 16-millimeter is an incredible focal length if you wish to just hand hold the video camera using something like a gorilla case you can conveniently obtain in the frame as well as you do not have to fret about cutting off your head below’s a sample of me walking holding the real video camera with my arm completely expanded which will provide you an idea about the

framing and also now I’m utilizing a gorilla shuck and also this gives me much more separation yet it’s a little less durable I intend to repeat that none of these lenses have optical picture stabilization and also up until Canon releases an EM body with ibis we have to depend on electronic picture stabilization now the angle of sight of the 16 millimeter does help in this case due to the fact that a wide-angle lens generally appears a lot more secure as well as allow me understand what you think of the results in the remark section is this functional video footage for what you need and also of program you can remain to maintain this video with your software if you believe that it’s necessary utilizing something like Adobe Premiere Pro swarf stabilizer and also lastly if you really want buttery smooth video footage proceed as well as toss this setup on a gimbal and you’re good to go now right here’s some example video utilizing the ji-yong weeble s as well as I’ll connect to a complete review of this gimbal in instance you desire some even more details next I’m going to show you some samples of me walking around the structure and I want you to take note of a couple of things first notice exactly how the background adjustments as I relocate more detailed as well as further away from the video camera as well as next I desire you to pay attention to the audio

that the autofocus electric motor makes I’m gon na offer you two tests for each lens one using the built-in microphone and also one utilizing the rode videomic pro plus installed on the video camera so we can hear the distinction I do want to state that I do every little thing that I can not to utilize the inner microphone on any of my video cameras and also in addition to that many of the time I’m using a microphone that is not installed on the video camera to make sure that I don’t need to stress concerning any type of audio coming from the lenses and also I can obtain the microphone closer to the resource I’ll connect to a video clip in the corner in the description that speaks concerning why I do this and the relevance of audio for video okay I’m gon na begin out with the sixteen millimeters as well as I’m using the m50 s inner microphone to make sure that you can hear what the microphone is grabbing in terms of automobile emphasis when you’re doing at can head and the individual is not truly moving all that much alright so currently I’m doing the very same thing however utilizing the rode videomic pro plus it’s placed precisely top of the electronic camera so you can hear what type of audio

it’s grabbing from the autofocus electric motor while someone is talking alright currently we’re back to the inner microphone and currently I’m going to begin moving rather a bit and I’m additionally gon na utilize my hand to block the lens as well as make it concentrate on my hand I desire you to focus on 2 points first I desire you to pay attention to the car emphasis sounds and 2nd I want you to see just how the history modifications as I obtain closer and also further away from the electronic camera and the last thing I’m going to do is once again using the rode videomic pro plus and now I’m mosting likely to return as well as forth make sure that you take note of the history and additionally pay attention to the autofocus electric motor as well as let me understand in the comments section if you can listen to a distinction between utilizing the interior microphone and also using an external microphone installed on the electronic camera next we’re gon na proceed to the 30-meter we’re gon na start with the very same type of examination we’re utilizing the internal microphone on the m50 as well as I’m gon na try to remain in one place as well as not move about way too much and let you hear what the inner microphone is picking up in terms of autofocus motor sounds and currently I’m going to do the same point making use of the rode videomic pro plus installed on the m50 I’m gon na remain rather still to make sure

that we can see whether you can really hear the autofocus motor while a person is talking as well as you’re using an exterior microphone now we’re back to the internal microphone I’m going to walk around a fair bit make the autofocus electric motor work and also I want you to both listen as well as view the history modification and the last examination with the 30-millimeter is once more using the rode videomic pro plus pay attention both to the noise and also how the aesthetic relationship in between me and also the background alters okay now we’re mosting likely to do this exact same set of examination with a 56 mill we’re gon na start with the chatting head without a lots of motion as well as we’ll see whether the inner microphone gets any one of the autofocus motor sounds as well as currently I’m doing the same point utilizing the 56 as well as the rode videomic pro plus installed on the camera I’m quite away from the camera so I’m not exactly sure what the audio quality appears like yet I simply desired to see whether the microphone is gon na select up any of the autofocus motor seems currently we’re back to the internal microphone as well as I’m mosting likely to walk around as well as see if we can grab any type of audio making use of the inner microphone as

well as the last examination for today will certainly be the 56 rode videomic pro Plus as well as then me moving around to truly make the autofocus motor work hard I understand I stated that it’s extremely uncommon that I made use of the interior microphone on the camera however I wanted you to listen to the distinction to ensure that you can make an enlightened decision about whether obtaining an outside microphone makes enough of a distinction for what you require so like I said in the beginning I was so thrilled when Sigma introduced this trio was being launched for the ESM and also since I have actually had an opportunity to utilize them I can state that I would most definitely grab the 16 and a 56 millimeter and also if it remains in your spending plan proceed and also get hold of the 30 also you’ll have a wonderful range of tiny and also mobile however quick and sharp prime lenses which cover a pretty significant array all 3 lenses offer wonderful worths and are at an extremely cost effective rate point I’ll place web links in the summary to

all the things I spoke around in this video as well as if you acquire those things or anything else utilizing those web links you aid support my channel absolutely free and also allow me to develop even more content so thank you beforehand ultimately it’s trivial for me that you use this exact same gear that I do I simply want you to utilize whatever equipment works well for you I really hope I was able to provide you an excellent overview of the sixteen thirty as well as fifty 6 millimeter F one factor four d CDN lenses if I did please allow me understand by giving this video a thumbs up tweet it share it and also if you have not yet sign up with the community by striking the subscribe as well as notice buttons you can likewise locate me on Instagram Facebook And Twitter at techy err talk you recognize what I always state purchase it great or purchase it twice best of luck as well as see you soon
