    Default Canon EF 35mm f/2 or Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM?


    Hello guys! I hope okay ra ni na post.

    need advise on which is the better lens. I've searched the web for reviews of both
    lenses pero still can't decide. The price difference is about 4k, the sigma being a bit higher.

    Im both of a photographer and videographer but i am leaning towards videography for this lens.
    I chose both of them kay I need the wide angle and theyre both good in lowlight.
    I usually shoot gigs by the way so there isnt that much light available in the location
    and its a bit crammed.

    From the videos ive seen in youtube, the sigma 30mm has more superior quality and better build.
    A lot of users also recommend it for video but there have also been a lot of complains.

    Are Sigma lenses recommended? Im still a bit uneasy with the thought of purchasing lenses other than Canon.

    But seems the sigma 30mm is better. But what do you guys think?

    btw Im using a Canon 600d/Kiss X5/Rebel T3i
    and I already own a canon 50mm 1.4 so please don't recommend that. Its not very convenient
    for my videography interests.

    same ra ta og dslr ts and im also looking for a low light lens for my videography. similar ra pud ta og choices but
    I wouldn't go for a canon 35mm f/2. The build isnt great, and similar ra cya to a 50mm f/1.8.

    The Sigma is pretty good, nindot ang test shots sa youtube. stunning quality, very sharp.

    Id also recommend the samyang lenses^^. The 35mm has the best reviews among them and nindot sad kaau ang quality.
    the build is more than what you pay for.

    Samyang is probably the best choice IMO.
