Me too

I just bought the Sigma 30mm 1.4 EF-M lens for $289 on Amazon, so in less than a year its price has dropped that $50 you hoped it would. Since I use this lens for my videos, the speed of the autofocus and the price tipped my choice to the Sigma. This was an awesome review, thank you. You deserve way more subscribers, so I just did my part ;0)

Oh my God ... Your style, presentation and voice tone is amazing ... Great Review and great delivery .. Cheers

There are some issues I have with this review: 1. Some test shots don't have apparently the same focus point, as you can see with the gorilla. 2. The speed test is right and wrong at the same time. Focusing during video mode decreases the focusing speed of the Canon lens, because Canon wants to give videos a more natural focusing look. During normal photo shooting mode, the lens a as fast as the sigma. Have a look at the review of Christopher Frost!

My issue with these speed tests is that reviewers don't realize that the slow autofocus is clearly intentional. Both lenses have the same autofocus speed when capturing still photos. The reason that Canon slowed it down during video is to offer 2 features: a cinematic look and a quiet feature. When autofocusing during a video with the Sigma, you can hear the motors which sound like a zipper, whereas Canon sounds like a low hum. Whether zipper noises or hums, either could be fine for B-roll or loud arenas (sport or city photography), it's distracting for vlogging or when trying to record in a quiet setting like wildlife photography. I'd prefer humming which is indiscernible to the ear as just background noise, vs a discernible noise like a zipper sound.

Also this ~50mm FF equivalent focal length isn't really that suitable for natural looking portraits. I like 85-160mm depending on the desired look.

Fantastic review! I think I'd have been more inclined to go with the Canon back when this review came out. But now that the gap between the lenses has grown from $90 to $190, the Sigma feels like a much better lens at just $289 compared to the current price of $479 for the Canon.

Man, all these video are so detailed and well produced. Well done and thank you.

Great review, great video quality, just all around really helpful and pleasant experience. 20 min long videos for this kind of product are usually a bit too long for me, but in this case I found myself happy to stick around. Thank you!

One of the best lens reviews, covers all the factors color, sharpness, speed and sound. Thank you very much for this awesome content. You deserve more views.

Awesome video and review 🔥 thank you for this video

Have an M50 on the way and I'm so thankful for these videos. All your reviews for EF-M lenses are so well done!

Very helpful review! Thanks for considering and comparing factors other than just sharpness.

This is seriously one of the best lens reviews / comparisons I've seen. Very helpful--thank you.

This is by far the best comparison I ever watched. Thank you Todd!

Brilliant review, thank you so much for the work you put into this!

Probably the best comparison video of these lenses here on KZread. Thanks for the review!

Very very well done review, addressed everything I wanted to know. The skin tone and chimp nose comparison were the most useful piece. You just got a new subscriber!

Great review, Todd! Very clear and in-depth. Cheers! 👏

This was seriously one of the best reviews and comparisons i've ever seen. Perfect audio, perfect demonstrations, fantastic descriptions; each time I thought you were about to be done and I was satisfied you added a new detail I didn't even know I needed to the comparison. Please keep it up!

i really appreciate your review of these lenses. Truly defines the differences i wanted to know!

Excellent lens review and comparison. Among the best on KZread. All topics of interest were covered comprehensively.

Wooow! What a review! The best one ever seen so far! Looking for a vlogging lens. Thank you for this detailed review.

I loved this review. You explained everything in a way I could understand and supported your information with solid examples. Thanks!

Well made and educational. I learned a lot about the different lenses and didn't get bored for a second. Thank you.

Great video! First time in your channel and i think this is BY FAR THE BEST review about this 2 lenses!

This is the best lens comparison video ever! Thanks Todd!

I bought the Sigma based on your review. SO PROFESSIONAL! I'd like to thank you so much for the time you put into these videos, you're setting the bar way up there.

Hah - awesome! Thank you. Glad you liked the review.

Well done. Great job with these reviews. The only note that I have is that some of the b-roll is a little dark. I’ll look forward to the next one.

You've clarified the "full frame equivalence" in 30 seconds when I've been struggling to visualize and understand it for about a month now. Subbed and great video! - I'm gonna have to go with the Sigma on this one for the motor noise and slightly lower focal length..and price :P

Hands down the best lens review with proper comparisons to allow the viewer to make their own determination because it is very subjective. Thank you.

Brilliant review! Very clear and comprehensive. Thanks!

Thanks for actually recommending one over the other. Other reviewers end every comparison with " it depends". I will go with your recommendation and use your referral link.

Loved your video thank you so much. Unlike other peoples videos i like the fact you included image comparisons with the kit lens as this really helped me realise just how much better the other two are and worth investing in. Think i'm set on the Canon 32mm but need to get saving.

No wasted words. Right to the point. Great useful info. SUBSCRIBED!

Great video. Photography is a new hobby of mine and I learned a lot.

Todd, that detailed comparison was impressive. Instant subscriber. I still find it hard to relate when people discuss camera lenses and their focal length.. especially when no one ever discusses or displays the physical length the camera is from a subject. I’m keen to buy a new lens for my vlog (Canon M6 MII) but I need to ensure the framing works with my shot as I have limited width and I’m quite tall - it can be a challenge to fit everything nicely in the frame..

Steve. Did you get the Canon 32mm? I'm using the 22mm and Canon Adpated EF glass, but I was reading that the EF-M lens weren't sharp enough for the sensor in 4. Was hoping this lens was. I will say that my adapted EFS 10-18mm is doing great but it's horrible for low light.

Great video. I thought the example photos were great as well. I'm an engineer, so I like the tech specs, but I'm only a hobbyist in photography, so it was great to see the Sigma was such a great lens, especially at that price point.

Thank you for your review ! A good one which is interested in all aspects. Really helpful !

Thanks for the great review!

Amazing review, thank you!

Good review and comparison! Thanks!

Love your reviews!!

Absolutely beautifully produced video

Thank you so much for this professional review. I have had the Canon 32mm for over a year now on my Canon M200, and I absolutely love it! I am expecting the Sigma 30mm next week to pair it with the Sony A6400. I am primarily using both setups for streaming video. You answered a lot of my questions! Thank you so much!

Deserves to be at 100k subs absolutely amazing detail work on the camera review and gave extraordinary examples to compare with each lens. This made me 100% happy with the Canon Choice.

Sir this review was top tier to say the least. Thank you!

I really enjoy your reviews.

Great review!

It's awesome review! Actually, I am looking forward to compare both of lens. Thanks a lot.

after spending hours pondering which one to buy and watching one review video after the other, i must say, your review was an eye-opener. thanks for sharing !

Nice review, thanks. I would like to see the autofocus speed test again in photo mode rather than video mode. I believe manufacturers slow down autofocus transition in video mode.

Subscribed because this is such an amazing review that covered everything I needed to know! I would love the canon but my budget is telling me to go for the Sigma which as you said is a pretty good as well! Thanks

Great review. All good points. I'd personally lean towards the Sigma in these tests because there's a bit more of an open-ness to the Sigma on skin tones (to my eye). Clearly there's a bit more contrast in this lens, which will account for a bit of that but also (like you mentioned) it's maybe more accurate color wise on the skin tones. We all love warmer skin tones for sure but a slight shift in white balance in post or even in camera would do a very similar effect and still give me a more accurate color when I needed/wanted it. Autofocus speed for me, faster is better (personal preference). However the color fringing you demonstrated is concerning on the Sigma for sure on those inanimate object shots. But I'll take that compromise given all the other benefits. It doesn't seem to be noticable elsewhere. And finally, price is a bonus. Thanks for the thorough video. Very helpful. 🙏

I still believe the color fringing on the black and white chimp was a focal plane difference.

Watched this again today and since the Canon is still near $500 went ahead and picked up the Sigma open box for $230. Thanks for a great review as always.

Well done. Informative Professional Great review/comparison

Awesome Video! Thank you for making the decision easier for me. I ordered the Canon now 💪🏻 Greetings from Gerrmany 😊

I have the 32mm. Don't think I'll ever let it go ❤️

Clear review, Actually you are awesome , I can understand all words without using translator , Thank you

Excellent comparison. I prefer using native lenses but now that the price gap between these two has widened to $190 ($289 for the Sigma vs. $479 for the Canon) it has become easier to overlook the Canon's edge in color and sharpness at f1.4 and go with the Sigma.

I decided to do without a 30 mm by opting for the 50 f1.8 ef + adapter for portraits and for the fantastic (and cheap) ef m 22 f2 for landscapes and street photography.

im thinking in that desition, i think Canon EF 50mm F/1.8 STM is still a solid choice and sharpness is so near to the Sigma 30mm (and just a little near of the fantastic Canon EF-M 32mm), did you made the purshase?

Amazing comparison,bravo

Well explained. Thank you very much

Wow!! What an amazing video!!

Todd, your presentation skills are awesome and enjoyed the video until the end. Thank you for sharing your expert advice. I use Canon M50 with 32mm Prime lens and as you said the image quality is far better than the kit lens.

@@YourMajesty143 That's a good point. I did actually point out there's no speed difference in photo when I compared. My main 2 issues on the canon with speed is that 1) there's no option to adjust faster 2) it hunts and can't find focus when near min focus. Sigma at least doesn't hunt and if the speed is smooth enough for the user it's the clear vlog winner. As for audio I use a mic and it seems most quality audio setups don't have an issue with either lens unless shooting with a mounted mic and having silence/quiet recorded.

I’ve had both lenses, it’s a tough call. I know the video autofocus speed is intentionally slower on the Canon, but you should be able to change this in settings. More often than not, I prefer the faster AF speed in video mode, and I imagine I’m not the only one. The Canon is a little bit smaller and lighter, and a bit sharper wide open. But it also has an external focusing element, which is another moving part that can break (the Sigma is all internal). I like the Sigma lens cap (snaps on better than Canon’s) and filter thread size (52mm is easier to step up to 62mm or 67mm without looking ridiculous). In summary, the Sigma is $200 less in price, but not $200 less in quality. I’d have to say the Sigma is the better buy or value.

This is PERFECT the 32mm is my go to. Thank you for this perfect put together video. Much better than any I've seen before.

Awesome review. I think know I am still sold on the 15-45mm right now for my low light needs. Just to take one photo with flash especially since I'm not making any money! During daylight it is awesome. For a wedding gig I'd get the 32mm for sure. I will probably still get it at some point.
