Is the sigma 17 40mm f 1 8 dc art good for vlogging?

Not really, as far as I can tell. The Sigma 17-40mm f/1.8 DC Art is a fast standard zoom for APS-C, and on Sony E, Fujifilm X or L-Mount it frames like 26-60mm full frame. For vlogging, my vlogging guide suggests around 16-20mm full-frame equivalent at arm's length, so this lens's wide end starts too tight. It also isn't stabilised, which matters when you're holding the camera.

The lens can still work if you mainly film from a tripod or a fixed spot, where its f/1.8 speed helps with blur and low light. For handheld vlogging, look for a wider lens. Whatever you choose, plan for sound too: see audio. You can read more about this lens on its catalogue page.
