Love the side by side 7 way split shots. Really got a concise perspective on background blur, ISO, focus, and framing per focal length as well!
yes - a happy bonus!!
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I loved the split shot as well - would you be able to add to/adjust your process so that the subject filming took up the same space in the frame? It feels like we didn’t get a great example of bokeh on the widest lenses since the 16mm looked absolutely incredible, but also looked like the subject was the largest in frame due to the focal length.
I needed to stand in the same place because I didn’t want where I was standing to affect the amount of light shining on me. But if I do a focal length / bokeh comparison will keep myself the same size in the frame. The 16 will still be the best because it’s the longest focal length that has a 1,4
The Sigma 16mm 1.4 is an incredible lens. Its look is so pleasant. Awesome video, Mark!
I'm a simple man, I see mark Bennett, I click like
This is why everyone likes you.
I will not click like until Mark has long hair again.
I swear I keep stumbling across more and more of your videos that answer questions I needed answered. It's between the Sony 11mm and 15mm for me 🤔
on Monday I am doing a full Sony apsc lineup lens video.
Great video! Thanks a lot Mark for the good content
that sony 10-20 played a major role really got to see the extreme low light background because of it! wow impressive stuff from the 1.4
"and all that made perfect sense to me" got my subscription!
😁
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis would you have any idea of which t ring I could use to adapt this to my telescope (svbony503)? Thanks
UA-cam is a blessing , You are a blessing , Y'all are a blessing....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhh I am overwhlmed!!!
Great work... I'm a beginner and always watch your reviews and trust your opinions. 💫
Great review and comparison!
That's a great sale price on the Tamron 11-20.
My A6400 often is lacking in comparison to the zve10, but in this case it does have more ISO range, up to 64000. I've heard people say to limit the ISO to 6400, but I just let it do it's auto ISO thing. Getting any kind of usable shot is better than no shot at all. IMO..
Some footage is better than no footage!!
Superb video man!!! Just what I was looking for
I love the sigma 16 mm F 1.4 lens, even the focus by wire seems to work better than most, but the thing that I hate about it is that I could never understand why Sigma thought it was a good idea to make the Focus ring the size of the entire lens. At least practically. When you're manually focusing, it is so easy to touch the lens and screw up your focus, I think this is the dumbest engineering that I have ever seen with regards to focus rings. :-) having said that, I use that lens all the time. It's an awesome tool.:-)
Soy completamente un novato en la creación de videos, hace unas semanas compré la ZV-E10 y por más que intento conseguir planos nítidos, naturales y sin ruido no lo consigo. Grabo con ISO máximo en 500, intento tener la zona de trabajo bien iluminada pero los resultados están muy lejos de lo que me gustaría.
Gracias por compartir tus conocimientos, un saludo desde España!
Keep testing with lights. It takes a lot more light than you might expect, especially if you are using the kit lens.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Gracias por responder y por el consejo :) Como lente uso el sigma 16mm 1.4 en f8 el 90% de las veces.
Heyy
You helped me decide a lens for my travel photography .......
Thank you very very much for this video ✌️✌️💯
Great video. Very informative for a noob such as myself. I'm going to order this camera today, but now you've got me second guessing that kit lens. Decisions, decisions ...
the kit lens is great for a backup and for resale value
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Yeah, I'll probably go with the kit as this is my first real camera, I'm on a budget and I need something versatile. I'm going to be using it mainly in studio, but also occasionally covering products at trade shows. That Sigma 16 is on a steep discount though...
Super thorough breakdown sir!
Much appreciated!
Between all of them, Sigma is my favourite one about the price and performance.
Probably mine as well,
You said the Tamron is on sale for $650, but I found it for $649!!!! Score!!! I”m going to split the $1 with you. I’d mail you the 50 cents but with the cost of postage, I’d have to spend it on that 😢. PS Great video eh! Thanks for the work you put in!
🤣🤣💵
A true photography Guru!
Thanks!
Viltrox 13mm seemed to rock it out pretty good considering the price. That might be a good one to get next for what we were talking about for my wife's channel? Great video Mark.
Did you see my response to your other message about using the 11 on active stabilization mode? I think that’s your best bet with the Crane M3. The viltrox is actually a little bigger and heavier than the sigma 16 - but it is amazing
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I did see your response and when talking to the wife she wanted me to hold out on spending that much for now seeing I just got the 11mm and the Sigma 16mm, as I was saying I was looking for something light for the gimble while walking around in the morning or day time. $800 is something I will have to save over time and perhaps get that lens later on this year. Thanks again for the response.
You are definitely the funniest out of the rest
nice intro 😆 we love to stay at home and create.
Great way to show the differences between these lenses!
Thanks!!
Great video! You fixed my brain. Thanks!
Awesome video. If I am a wedding DJ that plays with dim lighting all the time but I want to set one of these lenses up behind me on my 6700… Which do you think could capture that view the best and perform well with the low lighting?
Probably the Sony 15mm 1.4
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisisthanks!!!
Thanks for this video, I wish I saw it before realizing my F4 lens was not very good for night shots. Lesson learned, that's how you learn lmao.
Of course!! F4 can be great. Lowlight is not one of its strengths though

Gonna find at least one mummy this year.
Hi mark. I’ve been binge watching your videos like crazy. Would you recommend the Sony Zve-10 for a beginner looking for commercial/wedding work - and primarily instagram reel content as well? I’m also obsessed with the possibility of taking moody pictures at night - will the ZVE 10 and a 1.4 lens deliver on that end?
Yes - it can be a great camera for all of that.
So proud of my Sigma trio
Cool test, well presented...
I was kind of hoping to see the KIT lens included in the test as well...
The kit lens would have been about the equivalent of the 10-20 f4 in terms of performance
Hey Mark! Need some help here. What lens would be more suitable for showing two people in the frame without being too tight. I have the ZVE10 and the Sigma 16mm 1.4 but it’s kind of tight for me and my wife since we both fill the screen frame. I cannot decide between the Sony 11mm F1.8 or the Viltrox 13mm F1.4. Thank you
if it’s just a little too tight - the Viltrox is the way to go. if it’s way too tight at 16, get the 11. both great lenses
Haha.. best intro ever! I love that! :)
Funny I just did a video on f/1.4 APS-C (Viltrox 13mm) versus the full frame Tamron f/2.8 on the Sony a7iv. It is of course not as well done as your explanation I just hit the topic quickly. Thanks for "sacrificing" your club plans to share this video. Cheers.
I'll check it out!
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thanks!
Best intro in the history of intros 😂
🤣
I work all week in anticipation of a Friday night math lesson

OMG thank you this was very helpfull
Great video! :) The sigma 16mm is the best in my opinion :)
happy with your video. I like camera thank you
Mark, which variable ND do you recommend for the Viltrox 13mm for daylight video shoots? I know filters can get stupid expensive, but my budget isn't not that of a high roller. ha ha
this is the one I use for day to day. Very affordable. Get the 67mm one to fill the viltrox KandFNano ND: (affiliate) geni.us/KandFVNDMark
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis you make me spend too much money. Why do your videos have to be so good? I really hope Sony and Viltrox and Sigma and etc.... are making you stinkin' rich.
Seriously, thanks man. (I hope I didn't get the Viltrox just before some other bangin' wide angle lens is released.)
If on your phone or tablet, you can pause and pinch zoom with fingers.
what is 15 and 50 mm ? i found sony f1.4 of 50 mm
Notification squad reporting in!
haha!!
General question: Does a bigger focal length have an impact on the low light performance at the same aperture? For example will a 85mm f1.4 need more ISO compensation in the same room under the same lighting conditions as a 16mm f1.4 to get the same exposure time?
No, the 1.4 is a measurement of light that hits the sensor. So and 85 or a 16 1.4 will have the same exposure in the same lighting
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Nice, thank you for clarification.
Hey mark love your channel man I have learned so much from you and your little doughy, now I have passed that knowledge to my sony ZV! I wanna ask you about the stable shot mode.. how do I know it doesn't loose video quality when it crops in? Theoretically I think it would loose quality because it is cropping in
There are plenty of megapixels for 4K. The stabilization mode is cropping in on the sensor, not the image. So you won’t see any quality loss.
Technically 4k equals to just 8.3MP. ZVE10 has 24MP so you are still getting 4k quality in your SD card despite the image is cropped in.
If you use Catalyst Browse in post, yes, you are cropping in FROM a 4k image hence the end product technically has less than 4k resolution but at around 10% crop I can't see any difference with my eye and my not-so-professional monitor.
Always enjoy your videos and your hair looks spectacular in this video. LOL…

Hey I've got my sony zv e10 with sigma 30mm 1.4 ..Now I've problem that when I use nd filter (K & F variable) then I'm unable to attach lens hood at the same time,So I've decided to buy an extra uv filter but still I don't know can I attach lens hood on it..Can you please help me...and also make videos on cleaning, maintainng camera and lens ,Btw love your videos ❤️Love from India
If the filter blocks the lens hood from attaching, adding the us filter will not help. I just use my lenses without the lens hood when using nd filters.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis okay Thank you ❤️
So which ultra wide angle lens do you suggest with Sony ZV-E10 camera for indoor real estate videography in my opinion I saw in your video the Sony 11mm 1.8 have done a good job isn't it ?
Also as usual it's too much expensive
yes, the Sony 11 is a good idea.
Hi Mark, glad to see your fresh videos for little ZV-E10
I need your help on selecting Lenses for my new ZV-E10
I am buying Sigma 16mmf1.4 for vlogging I need another lense for cinematic videos shoot with great bookah effect. Can you please suggest little bigger mm lense like more than 16 mm one.
Much appreciated.
the 30mm fro Sigma is probably best. it will give you a field of view that you eye sees and it will have extremely blurry background ua-cam.com/video/fS7ds-ue2tU/v-deo.html
idiots .. just use clear image zoom of zv-e10.. converts 16mm into 30mm without image loss..
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis many thanks, I hope this will also good option for photography.
Don't forget to share your affiliated link, much appreciated.
Ughhhh, still leaning towards the Viltrox 13mm, but That Tamron 11-20mm is so dang versatile (Already have the 17-70mm as the lens I use on almost everything for video and photo, and it rocks). Bought the Vitlrox 23mm and LOVE the f/1.4 though, One of those situations I may have to buy both, using the Viltrox primes specifically for certain shots, but having the Tamron 11-20mm and 17-70mm to cover most everything...methinks. Just have to find a way to tell my wife there was some kind of ordering error that accidentally bought both. 🤫🤭
Ordering error. I’ll have to use that next time 🤣
I'm actually surprised I'm not seeing more talk of the Viltrox. It looks the best by far to me too.
Which lens is better for low light for my zve10
Sigma 56mm f1.4 APSC
Or
Sony 50mm f1.8 Full Frame
Even Sigma f1.4 but Sony f1.8 is Full Frame
And full frame is better for low light
Yes zve10 is apsc but I'm still a little confused if a full frame lens is going to be better in low light
Because sigma's f1.4 full frame equivalent is f2.8 or something
But Sony 50mm is designed for full frame
So I think it's maybe better in low light even on a apsc camera ?
Full frame lenses and APSC lenses act excatly the same on an apsc body. it’s only when you are comparing a frame camera that it makes a difference. To clear some things up for you:
1.4 lens is better low light than an 1.8 regardless of full frame or apsc or any sensor size. the f number indicates how much light the lens lets in and that will never change. What is different is the field of view and depth of field (background blurriness)
A sigma 56 mm 1.4 is the full frame equivalent of 84mm f2.1 ONLY in terms of field of view or depth of field the framing and blurriness of the background). BUT it still lets in a 1.4 of light.
on an apsc body, the 50mm 1.8 will act as a 75 mm f2.7 full frame quivalent) but still lets in a 1.8 of light.
so when someone says a sigma 56mm 1.4 is the full frame equivalent of roughly and 85mm f2, they mean if you looked at a picture from a Sigma 56mm 1.4, it would look the same as using a full frame camera with a full frame 85mm f2. But once again the f number for light doesn’t change. the 56 still lets in a 1.4 of light.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis so f1.4 "apsc" lens will give you the same low light performance like f1.4 "full frame" lens
No difference in low light?
@@-Hustle no difference in lowlight for the lens. A 1.4 full frame lens will give the same light as 1.4 apsc lens on the sensor. A full frame CAMERA is generally better in lowlight because of the big sensor. But a 1.4 on one lens is as bright as a 1.4 on another lens - full frame or apsc.
Great Review
Thanks!!
Did your computer catch fire for bringing so many 4k streams into the timeline then exporting it?
it kept freezing and freezing. I had to force quit about 50 times!! now I want that new Mac studio 🤣🤣
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis oh boy
Hi Mark I bought the Sony zv e10 for concert low light video because of the 4k what is the best lense for shooting from about 25 to 40 ft away? I bought the Sigma 16 mm for close er video it is amazing. I also have a cannon hg 10 video camcorder I was thinking of upgrading to a 4k version what is better for low light video in your opinion? and thanks
look at the sigma 30mm 1.4 and the 56mm 1.4 for further away. the zv-e10 with those sigma lenses will be much much better in lowlight than the canon camcorder.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thank you so much for the response, I love the zv e10
I cheated on my own little ZVE10 withe the Panasonic G95. It didn’t do as good in low light, but it was some smooth footage. I needed a little IBIS. I wish Sony and Panasonic would merge.
Love Panasonic. Amazing video features and stability, I still own a GH5 and a G7
I was wondering how the auto-focus is at low light in combination with the zv e10. I need it for some dance videos at low light situations, which means I need the eye tracking to be always working. I did try the Sony 15mm 1.4 which was great but quite expensive.
I found the sigma to be as good as the 15 in focusing in lowlight . possible the 15 is a “little” better, but the Sigma is creat
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis you are a G man. Thank you. I found the sigma for 260€ used as new, so I guess I will be getting it then.
What a wonderful comparison, i love it 😻
If you had to choose one, which would it be?
Sony 15mm
@ For cooking video do you have any recommended?
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Got it and love it so far. The video quality and pictures are amazing, and it's very light and easy to carry around. It's very expensive but great as an investment. I wouldn't recommend it if you want it just for learning.
uncle sigma lookz d best
Just quest about zv 10 crop.I just read that when we will change from 24fps to 30 using 4k then image is cropped .How many % of 2160p we are loosing then ? Cheers
About 10-12% judging by eyes. Shoot 24 and you would be ok.
It’s about a 10% crop yes. but there’s still plenty of megapixels for 4K - you shouldn’t notice any quality loss.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis comparig this to daytime in sunlight DjI osmo pocket i didnt know that there is loss. Still ZV 10 is oustanding .👍
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis and still i prefer low light quality here than action cameras .Cheers
I have the SIgma 16mm f1.4 and the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8...but I wonder if something wider than 16mm would be better so that i can get in the middle of the dancing floor and catch great shots of people dancing at parties etc..the Sony 11mm f1.8 looks good but I would prefer lets say 10-18mm f1.8..which doesn't exist..argh
think the 11 would do well
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis ok...I always use active steady on the FX30 and that crops a bit...thanks
Hey Mark what’s the best ND Filter for this lens?
I like the KandF variable Nd. just get the right filter size for your lens amzn.to/3T5bGS2
So the zv settings will all lenses are on auto?
just the ISO was auto. The lenses were set to their lowest aperture at 1/50 shutter with PPOFF

Wow that sigma 16mm is good!
it’s sooo good
It's an APSC legend. I regret a little for selling 16mm away for Samyang 12mm due to its size and not being wide enough for handheld. Gonna sell the 12mm soon to trade for a Sony 11mm!
@@gigihanmandarin that’s the only thing stopping me from buying. What beats sigma 16mm for handheld?
@@jatinkukreja18 All 3 Sony new ultrawide lenses are small: Sony 15mm F1.8, Sony 11mm F1.8, Sony 10-20mm F4. They all have been introduced here on Mark Bennett's channel recently.

Hi, great video, I have a question. I want to do vlogs, and for me, image stabilization is very important, that's why right now I think the best lens for me is the Sony 10-18mm F4 for the OSS, do you think I'm taking the right decision, or what lens would you recommend me? Thank you very much.
The lens stabilization isn’t great with the 10-18. I wouldn’t base your decision on that. I think you would be better off with the 11mm and and small gimbal like the Crane M2S or using Catalyst Browse if you have a ZV-E10. if you check out my video on the 10-18 you will see the lens stabilization doesn’t do a lot. ua-cam.com/video/63JLsLEtctY/v-deo.html

It's ok. I gag when I talk about micro four thirds too.
But I still love them!!
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Very tenacious system, I give it that!
anything past 3200 iso from Sony APSC cameras is just bad. Sony should make an APSC camera sensor that is back side illuminated.
Do you think professionals ever shoot in total darkness?
I think there is a rule of thumb exist to never go over a certain ISO level where the camera produces unacceptable image. Then the lighting professionals come and do their job.
No - they would never shoot in total darkness. But the vloggers are not professionals. And that is who asks me questions. On a real set you need real lights. But it is always helpful to know what cameras can do. in certain documentaries- you simply can’t bring a light. In a war zone, hiding underground - sometimes you just have to rely on the camera
I am not a professional and I appreciate Mark's analysis (his editing software hung on him 50 times!) - just so we can know the limit of our cameras and lenses hence we will be able to know how operate within it optimally.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Yep - with ZV-E10 my experience is ISO3200 or max ISO6400 gives optimal result, and the picture percieved by human eye in dark situations.

the light is from your monitor screen, i doubt it really came from the moon light
look at the 10-20 on the last few shots. I was standing in darkness. the camera was seeing more than the human eye could due to the artificial gain. The moonlight was just a way of saying I was standing in the dark with nothing but the moon in the sky. the monitor wasn’t close enough - look at the last shot on the 10-20 when I’m moved close to the screen - then you can see the monitor light kick in because I was a few inches from the screen.
