Sigma 16mm 1.4 Sony REVIEW | The BEST Lens for Vlogging & Astrophotography?

Описание: The Sigma 16mm f/1.4 lens. What a beast of a lens. I'm using mine for the Sony e-mount crop sensor cameras like the Sony a6300, a6400, and a6500. This is my favorite lens for vlogging and astrophotography.

Things I like about the Sigma 16mm f1.4:
This should be no surprise, but the wide aperture is INCREDIBLE. Great build quality as well. It’s embarrassing to admit, but I actually dropped this lens not too long after purchasing it. From six feet above the ground. The ONLY thing that got (somewhat) damaged was the lens hood. And that wasn’t too bad either. Even though it’s not a Sony lens, the autofocus is still very quick. I can’t actually tell a difference between the focusing speed on this lens vs the focusing speed on my native Sony lenses. Keep in mind I don’t shoot many portraits, I mainly do landscapes and interiors, so quick focusing isn’t a huge deal to me.

Things I dislike about the Sigma 16mm f1.4:
The lens cap is frustratingly difficult to put on sometimes. I don’t know if it’s just me or what, but I have the hardest time putting the lens cap back on this lens. It’s like Sigma left a only a fraction of a mm of free space to where the cap will go on, and anything outside of that will leave the user slowly becoming insane. This lens is HEAVY (405g – 0.89lbs). Like, it’s heavy. Compared to the Sony 10-18mm f4 which I also vlog with, the Sigma 16mm f1.4 is much more difficult to hold up for extended periods of time.

Vlogging on the Sigma 16mm f1.4 (used with Sony a6500):
16mm is a fairly wide angle, definitely wide enough to vlog on, but I’ve found myself having to remember to extend my arms all the way…and I mean, like, ALL the way. Or else my face appears too close to the camera. For me, 14mm is the sweet spot for vlogging, but that’s just personal preference and 16mm is good enough, especially with everything else you get with this lens! The wide aperture is perfect for separating yourself from the background. The wide aperture is also good for vlogging later at night without losing image quality.
