It's actually the worst it's been in decades. Point and Shoots cameras are basically mostly gone while Bridge Cameras about the same. All that's really left is interchangeable Cameras were once you get in, it quickly becomes a MONEY pit. So you aren't remotely close to being right. Because most folks doing this just as a hobby don't really need FF nor cropped sensor cameras.
@@natureredux1957 It's only a "money pit" if you choose to make it one. There is nothing stopping you from buying a point and shoot from second hand market places. I bought the RX1 last year for a cheap price and in a barely used condition (immaculate - no marks or scratches) and love it. Five years ago it would have been a lot more expensive.
The prices for new or used cameras is simply horrendous nowadays. The market is shrinking and every company is only making new super expensive cameras… so I strongly disagree.
@@FilJR99 What cameras are you referring to? You can pick up a Leica Q2 for less than £3,000. It used to be so much more expensive years ago and now it's affordable. RX1s are so cheap. Used GH5 is so cheap. Also, used mirrorless, full frame cameras have never been cheaper.
Thank you for reviewing these two. I've seen reviews talking about the Sigma having an issue getting focus every time as well as the focus breathing. It seems this new lens has far less issues with those two. Thank you, Mark.
With lenses this close in performance, the most important factor for me is definitely size and weight. Also balls jokes? pfft what children do you take us for Mark. Anyway I shall continue to be pleased with my Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN - DN stands for DEEZ N-
I bought the Yongnuo 11mm F1.8 because of you, and now, this is something I am VERY considering. The only thing I don't like about Yongnuo is it drains the battery faster. Thank you for this video Mark!
I'm actually in the market for a 30mm 1.4 right now and i think these two are just about equals. Personally i prefer the Sigma for it's size, weight, image quality, price, availibility where i live and the minimum focussing distance. But i could see how the weather sealing and lack of focus breathing could be preferrable to someone else. If you're a beginner reading this comment, think about what you'd use the lens for to make the best decision. Lastly, the Sigma non E-Mount Version's are also weather-sealed.
Well not much later after this review, Meike has their 33mm F1.4 lens on E-Mount for $229.99, undercutting the Yongnuo even more. What a time for APS-C shooters
Great job on the video Mark! Thanks for making it. I like the idea of the native wireless focus-puller. I feel like that's a feature that should be baked in to modern flagship lenses now that we've seen that it has minimal cost impact to the end product.
I have their older 100 F2 Lens and it was decent, but the autofocus was pretty slow. Hopefully, they will step things up and created a new one of those as well. Thanks so much for the review!!
It is great to see the competition heating up especially at such good prices , I am in a small group but I hate sunstars and see them as an optical flaw not a bonus 😀
The viltrox 13mm 1.4 is awesome on the a6700 i also have their z mount 35mm ff lens which has a really pleasing look for portraits. I really like the construction of the viktrox being all metal
The yongnuo 33mm F1.4 would definitely be better, I guess . If the yongnuo 33mm f1.4 can beat sigma 30mm f1.4 , I'm sure viltrox 33mm F1.4 would be easier to beat as well . I don't know about other people, but I have used the viltrox 33mm f1.4, and I had a bad experience with it . The copy I got was noisy, and my yongnuo 50mm f1.8 was a lot sharper than my viltrox 33mm f1.4 . Cut the long story short , I returned the viltrox cos I don't like hearing the motor noise while focusing since it makes me feel like the lens is damaged even though it is not . If you want to get the best value out of your money , buy the yongnuo 33mm f1.4 , and you won't regret it. It looks and works like a pro lens, as you have seen on Mark's review.
@@MrFaccts Yes, I think the real competition starts with comparing the Viltrox 27mm F1.2 to the Yongnuo 33mm F1.4. The Viltrox 33 was never an option for me. But the 27mm is outstanding!
@neutrinostorm I don't have the Viltrox 27mm F1.2, but I guess it won't significantly outperform the yongnuo 33mm f1.4. The difference in image quality may just be slight. Yongnuo 33mm f1.4 may even outperform it, Who knows..
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis It maybe gives you more clicks at first but viewer retention will be lower when people realize this lens isn't of interest for them
Great to see that you review Yongnuo again Mark! In my opinion between all these Chinese manufacturers like 7Artisans, TTartisan,Meike and so on Yongnuo produces the most reliable lenses in terms of autofocus and image quality. I think I'll get this one and maybe 23mm as well.
Hi Mark! Great review as always! Thanks! I've been using the 11mm from Yungnuo of this series for half a year now, I shoot videos for my UA-cam blog, and I'm delighted with this lens! True, I never used the remote control that comes with the lens - I didn't find suitable scenarios, but it will be important to someone! This series of lenses is excellent and very high quality for reasonable money! I think I'll buy the 33mm, thanks!
I'm really impressed with what Yongnuo has been doing with these sub $300 lenses. I haven't really had a lens like my old Lumix 25mm F1.7 since moving to APS-C, but this will be the one I end up grabbing. Also love that it's available on multiple mounts instead of just E mount so my Nikon Z30 gets some native glass finally. Great lenses are getting cheap and cheap lenses are getting greater!
After so many years I realized how important the weight is and how overrated sharpness and optical quality is. This new lens is amazing though! I have a Rokinon 35 f1.8, 210 grams and also full frame. Haven't seen a better deal since I bought it.
I have nothing but positive experience with Yongnuo when they were still just selling flashes. Was surprised when they started selling lenses as well and got their YN25 f1.7 for m43 and pretty damn good. Looking forward to getting the new YN17mm f1.7 however the price is competing with 2nd hand prices of the smaller Panleica/DJI 15mm f1.7.
The price is very competitive, but it might be costly in the long run. I purchased the Yongnuo 11mm f/1.8 last July but it only lasted me about 1 month before the focusing motor broke in the middle of a shoot. I had to send it to their China factory and have yet to get a proper answer as to why it stopped working. Their customer support is responsive but wasn't able to help resolve the issue which is why I had to ship it to their main factory.
No mention of the warranty or repair services? I think that you are missing an important point if you are comparing brands. Their website does not say what the warranty is, I could not find any info. And when you click on repair services in their web page it opens a web page in Chinese. This is an important consideration, a low price is not a great criteria if there is limited or no support if you have a problem.
If camera manufacturers put an O ring on the camera instead of the lenses, won’t all lenses be water sealed? Seems like a no brainer to me. There must be a good reason why they do it the other way around.
By the time you get around to it it's better to buy Leica or Carl Zeiss. I'm not carrying that weight around unless it's gold. That said, for hobbyists this is a great niche.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis i just stumbled upon your video on it right after my comment! thank you, do you feel 1.8 is good enough? i was also looking at the 16mm 1.2 from sirui
Great haven’t bought a new lens in a minute. Was looking at the Viltrox 33mm but now I will grab this one for that prime length. As if I don’t have enough APS-C lenses for my a6700.
Great lens, thank you Mark. I wanted to ask you about the new update for the fx30 camera. I wanted to update my camera, but Sony deleted the update on their website and you can't download it!! I was surprised by this. I don't know what's happening!!!😢😢😢
Great review - thank you. May I attempt a question for you as this lens may be what I have been looking for. I am an artist and take pictures of my sculptures. My requirement is good depth of field, and as little distortion as possible. Thanks in advance from Per
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Is Sonay a7 IV a apps-c camera ? (Sorry for the? ) What is important, is that it is so near reality as possible -a wide angel is not good for this.
The A7IV is a full frame camera. An APS-C (sorry there was a typo in the last response) camera is an a6700 or ZV-E10. For the A7IV I would recommend the Sony 35mm 1.8 amzn.to/48cQMYQ
Not sure about best mirrorless lens. I went and checked out example photos of the Sigma 30 f1.4 and they do not seem exceptionally sharp. My benchmark in this regard is the Fuji 56mm f1.2. A much more expensive lens to be sure. But that one has pretty amazing sharpness in the center of the frame at full aperture. And the color rendering is just amazing. This Sigma is just ok. The bokeh has a rough texture in a few places on most photos I see with foliage in the background.
It is ridiculous if people call a fair price ridiculous. No wonder everything get expensive. It is ridiculous how far too expensive other lens makers are. That's the reality.
I have already purchased this lens Mark , it is very sharp . But barrel distortion is what i dislike . It distorts more than my Sirui 33mm f1.2. But, in terms of sharpness, It is hands down one of the sharpest 33mm lenses out there, if not the sharpest .
I like my 23mm Viltrox lens -- not really thinking a 33 would improve my focal length choices. I am interested in trying some Yongnuo glass, though. It's hard to not consider them at their price point. Cheers
what i want is more lenses like 12mm or 14mm 1.8 full frame, where is Samyang, Yougnuo , Rokinon etc or a 12-24 2.8 from sigma or other brand because I will never pay 2k for the Sony One
@MarkBennettCameraCrisis So my question for you is this. I'm a begginer film maker currently using an a6700 with a 18-135mm f3.5 kit lens. Im shooting mostly doc footage and i see myself getting close shots as well as wide. So something versitile is what im looking for. Would this be a good lense to embark on this jouney with?
Another great video from mark, thank you. as a student I want to set up a small video studio. I'm thinking sigma 16mm on Sony zv e10. Do you think it's suitable for talking head videos and vlogs? I also want the 11mm sony wide angle lens, but then I'm way over budget. thanks mark. Also, do you think the Samyang AF 12mm F/2.0 lens is suitable for outdoor vlogging?
Hi Mark, your videos are helping me a lot. But I need some help please. I’m having a hard time matching color from different cameras clips in fcpx. One form A6700 in Slog3 and other from Zve10 Slog too, filmed in the same condition and light. Applying the LUT won’t help. Any advice?
ohh boi :D What a Lens. I'm waiting for a (maybe new) best Lens for my Milkyway photography on APSC xD There are already a lot of good lensen out there.. but I don't know which one xD ahh.. thats the Sony E-Mount struggle xD You have a ton of good lensen from which to choose.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisisPrime deals are in europe. I can buy the Sigma 30mm for 250€ or the Meike 33mm for 178€ both new. Yongnuo 33mm not available yet 🤕 any recommendation?
I’m in the process of starting an office setup video. I have the a6700. The office is low light but I want to showcase everything from wall decor to desk and shelving accessories etc. what lens would you recommend? I have the sigma 16 1.4 for my talking head sections.
I just bought an a6700 upgraded from a ZV-E10 yesterday. I also have the Sigma 16mm, but purchased the 6700 with the Sony 11mm 1.8. Great lens and will capture the field of view you’re looking for. For a bit more you can get the Sony 10-18 or 10-20, but they’re F4 which was a deal breaker for my use-case. Some after market sub 16mm lenses as well, however I opted for Sony for the least amount of distortion out the box.
Almost everything on the channel is sent to me. Sony sends me things too - and invites me to events. I don't care what people buy - but I review as much as I can. The Sony 35 OSS is a good lens but much more expensive and it's a 1.8 and not a 1.4
I don’t know how legit the intellectual properties of these cheap ones are, but this ‘better but cheaper’ trend is definitely going to drive out the original inventors Imagination Sigma is no longer around, where do u get the wild lenses, or no longer any more fp or Foveon
The big boys don't have anything to worry about. It's helping them. They know people will buy cheap lenses at first, but their cameras and then later upgrade to expensive first party lenses. The Business model has been working so good for Sony, the other guys are doing it now too.
I'm sure this YN is great and good value for money but there may be a catch. I've just bought a TTArtisans 28/f2.8 pancake lens that also had good reviews. However, it refuses to work with continuous focus on my older Sony NEX-6. No trouble with autofocus on the a6700 at all. Lens optical corrections work on the camera but they vanish when a raw file is uploaded to Lightroom. In fact, there are no lens profiles in Lightroom for neither Yongnuo nor TTArtisans. Nobody checks for such things in their reviews unfortunately.
There are LR profiles on the websites - I always check 😃 www.hkyongnuo.com/xzyzc and www.ttartisan.com/?LensProfile/ - check those out and they might help with your issues
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Many thanks Mark. I did look for a profile for my lens. It either was not there yet when I looked or I overlooked it. I should have checked again before writing my note. My bad. TTArtisans give me no hope to fix the autofocus issue for NEX-6. It's a hard problem for you to know of course. As for me, the single focus mode works, so I have almost usable, almost pocketable set that I was aiming for. Makes me think about the new coming Viltrox pancake as an alternative.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis You gave me hope and I've jumped the gun. The LR profile TTArtisan provides is for the Fujifilm XF version of the lens only. No luck for Sony folks. It also doesn't seem compatible with Lightroom Mobile. I am fussy, aren't I? 😇

How does it compare to the meike 33mm f1.4 and the sirui sniper 33mm f1.2? They are similarly priced and it is really hard to decide
Didn't you forget to mention that it is an apsc lens?
I said it right away in the intro that the Sigma is a 30 APS-C and now we have 33 lens to compete
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Indeed. My brain must have skipped that part. Thanks for the correction.
I like my 23mm Viltrox lens -- not really thinking a 33 would improve my focal length choices. I am interested in trying some Yongnuo glass, though. It's hard to not consider them at their price point. Cheers
Thansk, JR!!
what i want is more lenses like 12mm or 14mm 1.8 full frame, where is Samyang, Yougnuo , Rokinon etc or a 12-24 2.8 from sigma or other brand because I will never pay 2k for the Sony One
do a yongnuo vs viltrox next!
@MarkBennettCameraCrisis So my question for you is this. I'm a begginer film maker currently using an a6700 with a 18-135mm f3.5 kit lens. Im shooting mostly doc footage and i see myself getting close shots as well as wide. So something versitile is what im looking for. Would this be a good lense to embark on this jouney with?
Will this fit canon ef-s mount ? I have my r7 and an adapter
Another great video from mark, thank you. as a student I want to set up a small video studio. I'm thinking sigma 16mm on Sony zv e10. Do you think it's suitable for talking head videos and vlogs? I also want the 11mm sony wide angle lens, but then I'm way over budget. thanks mark. Also, do you think the Samyang AF 12mm F/2.0 lens is suitable for outdoor vlogging?
he sigma 16 and zv-e10 is perfect. look at the 11 Yongnuo 1.8 for vlogging, but the 12 samyang can work of the Yongnuo 11 is too pricey
Hey Mark, I wanna hear your views on the new 28mm F4.5 from Viltrox. Cheers.
gonna get them to send it to me
Is there something similar from Sigma for full frame sensors
Yes, Sigma has the excellent 50mm f2 - which would be very close in equivalence amzn.to/3zxvGI2
Hi Mark, your videos are helping me a lot. But I need some help please. I’m having a hard time matching color from different cameras clips in fcpx. One form A6700 in Slog3 and other from Zve10 Slog too, filmed in the same condition and light. Applying the LUT won’t help. Any advice?
Does the remote that works with the 11mm also work with this 33?
yes indeed
nevel failed to give me a giggle
ohh boi :D What a Lens.
I'm waiting for a (maybe new) best Lens for my Milkyway photography on APSC xD There are already a lot of good lensen out there.. but I don't know which one xD ahh.. thats the Sony E-Mount struggle xD You have a ton of good lensen from which to choose.
Looking forward to your review of Meike 33mm F1.4. If you can make a comparison between them, it will be great.
@@vukhuat4251 for sure - just received it today!!
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisisPrime deals are in europe. I can buy the Sigma 30mm for 250€ or the Meike 33mm for 178€ both new. Yongnuo 33mm not available yet 🤕 any recommendation?
Sigma bokeh balls
Man they really have to get rid of that logo😂
Yes!! Something nicer and maybe a catchier name.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Bennett'on?
Yongnuo should make them for MFT just like sigma did 👌
I’m in the process of starting an office setup video. I have the a6700. The office is low light but I want to showcase everything from wall decor to desk and shelving accessories etc. what lens would you recommend? I have the sigma 16 1.4 for my talking head sections.
I just bought an a6700 upgraded from a ZV-E10 yesterday. I also have the Sigma 16mm, but purchased the 6700 with the Sony 11mm 1.8. Great lens and will capture the field of view you’re looking for. For a bit more you can get the Sony 10-18 or 10-20, but they’re F4 which was a deal breaker for my use-case. Some after market sub 16mm lenses as well, however I opted for Sony for the least amount of distortion out the box.
the 16 seems pretty great for that. if you’re using slog3, you can go the second base iso of 2500
Thanks for the video. Which do you recommend btween XF 33mm f1.4 and Yongnuo 33 f1.4?
The Yongnuo isn't out for Fuji yet. And the XF is amazing - so if it's in the budget, it's always nice to have the first party lens.
Considering the Yongwhatever sent to the guy for free remember that for video there’s sony 35 f1.8 with OSS
Almost everything on the channel is sent to me. Sony sends me things too - and invites me to events. I don't care what people buy - but I review as much as I can. The Sony 35 OSS is a good lens but much more expensive and it's a 1.8 and not a 1.4
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis these reviews help to pick the right gear. Thank you
Of course the lens is great! But there is a nuance, almost everyone shoots on smartphones, the industry is always late.
About a different topic, can you please review the Smallrig 4815/4348 camera fans? 😅 Particularly for use with the Sony A7 IV. Thanks Mark!
I’ll take a look
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis wow! Thank you!!! ✊😅 More power to you!
I have just made a joke about those clean balls but I've kept it to myself.
We're all super mature here 🤣
I don’t know how legit the intellectual properties of these cheap ones are, but this ‘better but cheaper’ trend is definitely going to drive out the original inventors
Imagination Sigma is no longer around, where do u get the wild lenses, or no longer any more fp or Foveon
The big boys don't have anything to worry about. It's helping them. They know people will buy cheap lenses at first, but their cameras and then later upgrade to expensive first party lenses. The Business model has been working so good for Sony, the other guys are doing it now too.
Any recommendation for some cheap but good longer lens? I think about something over 85mm for distance shooting
I'm sure this YN is great and good value for money but there may be a catch. I've just bought a TTArtisans 28/f2.8 pancake lens that also had good reviews. However, it refuses to work with continuous focus on my older Sony NEX-6. No trouble with autofocus on the a6700 at all. Lens optical corrections work on the camera but they vanish when a raw file is uploaded to Lightroom. In fact, there are no lens profiles in Lightroom for neither Yongnuo nor TTArtisans. Nobody checks for such things in their reviews unfortunately.
There are LR profiles on the websites - I always check 😃 www.hkyongnuo.com/xzyzc and www.ttartisan.com/?LensProfile/ - check those out and they might help with your issues
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis
Many thanks Mark. I did look for a profile for my lens. It either was not there yet when I looked or I overlooked it. I should have checked again before writing my note. My bad. TTArtisans give me no hope to fix the autofocus issue for NEX-6. It's a hard problem for you to know of course. As for me, the single focus mode works, so I have almost usable, almost pocketable set that I was aiming for. Makes me think about the new coming Viltrox pancake as an alternative.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis
You gave me hope and I've jumped the gun. The LR profile TTArtisan provides is for the Fujifilm XF version of the lens only. No luck for Sony folks. It also doesn't seem compatible with Lightroom Mobile. I am fussy, aren't I? 😇
Write ttartisan and see if they can send you a profile directly
Mark we need the best lens under £150, used market 😂
hey mark, did you notice the lil dogie had drop a new firmware update. ver 2.01😄
