Thanks for this . So this lens can be used on both Sony e-mount and m43 lumix cams straight out the box ?
Congratulations again, Chris! As always, a very useful and well presented, beautifully illustrated review, both visually and muscally! Altough I onw this lens since 2018, it'a a pleasure to see again that you also aprecciate the qualities of this lens. I used it with my Sony A6300, then 6500 and now A7R3.
ON FULL FRAME (for those interested), with a 1.2x zoom, it has a very useful focal lenght of 20mm, and Capture 1 can somehow resolve minor problems with the sharpness and corner light fall-off, when shot in RAW. (Yes, you lose phase detection AF if zooming in, but otherwise works very fine, even in very low light: one candle and some light from a Christmass tree low-power LEDs). Even more, if not zoomed at all, in full frame and 4K video (but with markings on screen) you can afford to lose some field of view but one can stabilize in post processing VERY VERY efficientlly. So, you can film from a short monopod or with just a "cage" and don't need a gimbal at all, obtaining a super stabilized footage in full HD (and far more crisp than original Sony Full HD)
I was looking for a zoom lens to repalce to 16-50 kit that came with my a5100 but the image quility and price of this Sigma lens has won me over.
Your review sold it for me. Coupled with a6600 should be a winner
hi, this lens on a Sony a6600 apsc crop to 24mm? in which kind of camera can I use all the 16mm?
@ALL videographers out there:
I saw Lethal Weapon 2, the other day and thought of YOU and THIS LENS:
- chromatic aberration and barrel distortion = PEOPLE, STOP complaining about such things!
If you are a photographer, shut up.
WTIH ONE CLICK, you get rid of BOTH this problems.
OK, 2 clicks :).
If you are a videographer, like me, shut up.
I will shut up too!
THE BARREL DISTORTION and chromatic bla bla in the 80's-90's movies and series is CRAZY!
Filled with this "issues".
BUT, who cares?
"Friends", "Murder she wrote", "Columbo" (70's-80's-90's), "Lethal Weapon" and SO MANY
movies have so much of these things, but, WHO CARES?
What really matters is WHAT you put IN THOSE videos, nobody will care about some stupid color
fringing in a corner or that the wall in a scene is slightly noticeable not 100% straight...
Please, concentrate on YOUR STORY and MESSAGE :)
Take care.
Much love.
#CAPSlock #SHIFT #RULEZ :D
Is this good for interior photography? I am not a professional photographer I have a Sony a5100
Hi you said in m4/3 is f/2.8 and nex is f/2 can you explain it THANK YOU
Now that Fujifilm has opened the autofocus for X mount. I really hope Sigma adapt this lense for X mount.
Is this Lens can be used with adapter on canon dlsr ??
Hi gret video, do you think thet it possible to fix the disturation problem in post ? Video mode or maybe the camera can do it herself? A6400
very sharpness lens!
Your reviews of the various lenses for the Sony a6xxx series E-mount are fantastic - the best I've found online. And I used these to zero in on the lenses for my my first Sony purchase. Thank you so much!
May I suggest that if you want us to listen to the sound made by a lens when focusing, you mute the background music during that duration?
You missed to test sunstars on it, i would like to see them up to f8, 11,16 an 22 ...
Plz review 20mm 1.8 sony
Love your reviews, they are so informative and consistent. Your reviews helped me make a couple of buying decisions around last Christmas (with regards to the A6400 and Sigma 30mm 1.4) and now I am here looking at this lens. This might be strange to say but I find your reviews very calming and enjoyable. Thank you!
What does "dc"and "dn" stand for? And is it for full frame or what?
What an *exquisite* picture of Portmeirion (@ 5:39)! The colors, contrast, & crispness all echo my own experience with this lens on a Canon M50. I love that lens.
Your videos give me such a wanderlust to see your region of Wales,--from Mwnt to Aberporth to Llangrannog--for myself... *sigh*
Thank You for your peaceful, beautiful, and informational videos!
Hi Chris! How do you feel about this lens compared to the samyang 12mm F2? You highly recommend both!
I'm starting to get a hang of the way I create my lens reviews! Super happy with the build of this video! ALSO, love this lens, use it a lot :) Been getting a bunch of requests about making a full review, so it's finally here!
Been using this lens for a few weeks for video and I am not picking up the autofocus on audio at all. Maybe you got a bad one?
If you could only have lens and one lens only for video. Would you choose sigma 16mm or your beloved sony 18-105 ? ;)
You people talk a lot! Seriously. Less footage more talk!
Just got a a6400. This and the sigma 16mm 1.4 are my next lenses. I do shoot video but have off camera mics. And I just got a Ronin RSC2 for stabilator
I think I'll buy it so he can afford a new t-shirt! ;)
I love the way you roll your R's mate 😂😂
Hello
Which is better for photographing cars and showing scratches and all the fine details.
30 mm or 16 mm

Nice review! Thank you!
I think this is going to be my new lens :)
I love your videos I just ordered it today. I do have the 30 and 56mm do you like those as well?
Thinking bout buy this lens but your accent is great 😍 love it I think even more than the lens now lol
Hiiii... tsk for your videos... been helping me a lot. Can you tell me the camera settings you're using for this youtube videos? I have the a6300 and the sigma 16mm.
So much toneh!
Just bought one today for my 6600!
Nice video!
Subscribed! 😉
Thank you so much for this Review! this looks so good to be true...
I enjoyed this very informative and entertaining video review. You mentioned the microphone that is above your head and out of shot. What make is it please? It sounds really good. Also , is it wired directly into your camera or a digital recorder and mixed together in post? Thank you, Peter.
What are you plugging your
Which lense should I get for both video and photography? Sigma 16mm 1.4 or sigma 24mm 1.4 for sony aps-c. Later on I'm probably going to upgrade to a FF camera tho.
Awesome review, you are so talented ....and entertaining! Thanks for the video, must run and buy this now...LOL
Hi I’m looking for a wide angle lens,
How does this lens compare to sony sel20f28 f/2.8 20mm ?
Would it be good for live streaming? I want like half of myself in the shot and some width.
Did they ever come out with that Sigma 12mm you mentioned towards the end?
I mean this is a great video, but holy hell Arthur, the stuff you captured with this sigma lens is AMAZING!!! I really want this lens now!!!
Hoovie??
great video. is this sigma compatible to both this Sony camera and canon m50? I have a cannon m50. but I want to buy Sony Alph 36400. please let me know anyone thanks
Looks way better than that Sony 16mm
Sigma dealer, ha ha!
Heads up that there's a version 02 firmware available for this lens (offering " Improved operability during manual focus.") from Sigma as of 19th November. Available from sigma-global website.
I vlog on a 24-105 and a7iii haha I'm sure this lens is lighter. I kind of want it for desk video editing tutorials. Seems like it'd satisfy that need very well.

I saw "Lethal Weapon 2", the other day and thought of this review and THIS LENS:

"Friends", "Murder she wrote", "Columbo" (70's-80's-90's), "Lethal Weapon" and SO MANY

Hi...
I am from bangladesh.
I am using A6000.
Now, i want to buy Sigma 16mm 1.4 lens.
But, i have heard an issue about this lens not focusing at f 2.8 and 5.6 with EVF with AF-S
Can you give a solution about this problem?
Please,,,let me know
Thanks
Hi Arthur, Thank you for the informative video.
Is this sigma16mm lens is as sharp as sigma 56mm lens?
I purchased a 16mm recently, I expected a sharpness in the pictures like how 56 mm gave. I could see major differences. I wanna make sure is defective or not.
Kindly revert back.
still a good buy at NOV 2020 ? For A6400...
Hi Arthur,
Need a suggestion !!
I am a beginner ! just using kit lens at the moment. Is it worth buying for my sony A5000 ?
Specially As you said in video this lens doesnt have stabilization and my camera doesn't have OSS in-built ! i guess :P
Thank you
Nice and clear review!
why doesnt it have ef-s version?
I love this lens, it is my go to for just about everyhting local and and for my VLOG. amazing low light capability
What microphone are you using? I see the lapel mic in the notes but what microphone should I use to record a concert?
What are the settings you put a6000 for indoor photography.
*What is your favorite lens? WHY?* 🧐
thinking of buying this lense for my sony a6400...whatcha think?
Can you share what video editing program you use for the word pop ups and everything? Thank you!!
Wow. IBIS sucks. But I have an RSC2. I’m getting this lens
4:02 Lady in background: „Nope“
Great video and now I think I wanna buy this lens even though its kinda old. Are you using your own presets for editing? Would you say this lens is a good choice for interior photography?
Can we use this lens to Canon 200d Mark ii ?
The girl at 4:03 xD
Nice video mate. Can You tell me, whether it is good for astrophotography too?
Today I learned that a6500 IBIS does basically nothing at all.
Hey, Does this lens (listed below) make any noise while focusing? (I make a video of camping & hiking, so audio is also important to me). Hence I would like to know if this lens make any sort of noises while focusing (even though if its lower noise, it will be captured in a shotgun mic, so need your help in knowing it)
