🛑THIS IS AN OLD VIDEO AND I KNOW I MADE MISTAKES IN TERMINOLOGY. 🛑
I had just bought my first camera when I made this video. Like I had been a video maker for under a year. I think I was doing alright at the time. I don't argue with people in the comments over anything so you can stop telling me how wrong I am.

dude I really appreciate the advice @2:00 that's huge, that makes so much sense thank you!

Best lens for APS-C cameras in my opinion. 30mm (45mm) is a fabulously versatile focal range. The lens is stupid sharp, focus is quick, build quality is decent. And, of course, it's pretty damn cheap (especially if you buy used). I've had mine since 2018 and I absolutely love it.

Its offensive to call this lens a beginners lens. This lens gave life to mu old sony cameras (nex5 and a5100)

This lens is a must to have. My favourite is the 11-22mm. I also have the old kit lens and the native telephoto but I don't use them. No need. This Sigma is ultra sharp and the focus is accurate and fast. Highly recommended.

Amazing video and good info! You gained a new subscriber. Proud of you man ✊🏾

Super engaging video and thorough review! Thanks Sam!

[ralphy]

that video was great bro your editing skills are top tier

[MrRuSh]

I eat off of this lens. Besides my kit lens it’s the only I currently have. All rounded for photos and video. That 1.4 is overpowered but when you get the right shot it feels so good. Great review!

This is a great lens to begin with and also a great lens in general. I have the whole Sigma kit lens pack and honestly out of all of them the 16 mm 30 mm and 56 mm. I use the 30 mm the most. It’s sharp and if I need a little bit more close up shots I can always zoom in post edit without a significant amount of quality loss.

You’re very good at explaining things! Thanks for the video! I own the 16 mm, 56 mm and I’m getting ready to buy the 30 mm next week.

Great video, awesome colors, lighting and overall narative an video! I do have one question...if you are stacking step up rings from let's say 52 to 72mm, are'nt you gonna get vignetting???

When I started out with dslrs I bought all my filters in 58mm (to fit my kit lenses). Then when micro 4/3 came out it was a breeze to adapt them to the smaller filter sizes 😎

I had the 30mm 1.4 on canon m50 years ago and when I switched to sony full frame I got an apac camera jut to use the 30mm on sony. I love this lens

[DriveVibeAuto]

So happy you told me about this lens. I haven't even been looking at my 18-105 recently.

[AlanMeksikanac]

Cool review! I want to buy this for my a6000. That BMW photo looks amazing 🤘
