Is the sigma 24mm f 3 5 dg contemporary good for video?

The Sigma 24mm f/3.5 is a reasonable video lens on full frame, but it's not my first pick for vlogging. The page doesn't say anything specific about video, so this comes from how the lens frames and handles.

On a full-frame body it gives a true 24mm view. For selfie-style vlogging I'd want something wider. Video recommends roughly 16-20mm full-frame equivalent at arm's length, since a 24mm view crops you tight once stabilisation kicks in. On APS-C it frames like 36mm, which is too tight for arm's length.

It's also not stabilised, so it's better suited to tripod or gimbal work. For full frame video, you could pair it with the Sony FX3 or the Sony ZV-E1. Whatever you choose, budget for sound, as the audio notes explain.
