    What has blown me away are those cute crushed can lens hoods I put on my compact FF Sony lenses. That made all the difference in the world. BTW, that Sigma 65mm f2.8 lens is something else. Looks vintage (a little), built like a Tesla Cyberetruck, and is as sharp as a surgeon's scalpel.

    And my ZV-e10 finally arrived on December 30 and I am very pleased with it. :) I'm wondering how to turn on the focus on a given object in this camera, is it the same as clicking on the screen before taking a photo and "tracking" turns on? I know it's a stupid question, but previously I had the ZV-1F for a few days and I didn't really want to "play" with it, but I used the Lumix tz80 on a daily basis. Ps. Can you recommend a wrist strap for this camera?

    I do wildlife and landscape photography mostly and I use A74 for general use and A6700 as my main wildlife camera (with the SONY 200-600, a fantastic combination). I am thinking about exchanging the 4 for the A75 when it comes out or the A7r5. I have not yet taken the plunge with the lesser known lens manufacturers but your channel is really helpful regarding those.

    Happy New Year from Munich Mark!
    I bought the a6700 this year with the amazing Sony 16-55mm APS-C Zoom. To me this is the perfect travel setup.
    I am now looking for a cute and small 35mm f1.4 that is sharper than the 16-55mm. The new Viltrox looked promising (perfect size). But it seems not as sharp as the 16-55mm. What do you think?

    • @MarkBennettCameraCrisis
      @MarkBennettCameraCrisis  2 дні тому +1

      The viltrox 35mm 1.7 is sharp - and the 16-55 is excellent but it is a zoom lens. The 35 you will see is a bit sharper at 35 than the 16-55

    Hi Mark,
    thank you for your great content, enjoying it for quite some time now. This year I got the Viltrox 33mm f1.4 and the Viltrox 56mm f1.7 for my Sony ZV-E10. My most recent purchase is a Panasonic Lumix S5 (Mark 1) body.
    So I wanted to ask you for advice in my first Lens-Purchase for it, my options:
    - Panasonic 20-60mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens
    - Panasonic 24-105mm f4 OIS
    - Sigma 28-70mm f2.8
    Maybe you wonder why there are no primes in that list. I ordered an adapter for my Nikon Fullframe Lenses (cheap Yongnuo: 35mm f/2.0, 50mm f1.4, 100mm f2.0 + Nikkor 85mm f1.8, Nikon 80-200mm f2.8), so I got some primes (but MF only)

    I think showing how things work on the cameras and the accessories would be a great thing to include in the videos. I just bought a zve10 and the ulanzi mount with a rode mic. As a true beginner who hasn't so much as seen a camera in person outside of my phone it took me a couple hours to figure out how to attach everything. Weird nothing came with instructions other than the camera. How to insert the battery, where the microphone cord goes, which one to use, screwing in the small rig, now its charging and Im searching how to playback the videos I recorded. Just a suggestion, but maybe while you're reviewing products you could insert a snippet on how to put things together and how to use it. It would be helpful for true beginners.

      @jamesa8225 3 дні тому

      To further expand on my frustration and to laugh at myself. After a couple minutes of trying to determine whether or not I got a defective camera, I realized I couldn’t see anything because it requires a lens. Mind you I’ve been comparing and researching for well over a year and maybe I’m wrong but I don’t think anyone ever said it required one to work. That how much of a beginner I am lol.

    off-topic question but I've been recently trying to decide between a 24mm and 35mm lens. I had decided on 35mm but when I was trying to get some shots inside my home and it was slightly tight. So, I started heavily debating a 24mm. I don't have money to have both lens, so I want to choose one of them. I thought about it, and I was wondering is it possible for me to get a 24mm and then use APCS crop mode to just get 36mm with that? I also want to keep optimal quality, so would that affect the quality? I plan to shoot music videos, short films, or just anything that I want, so I wanted a versatile lens which is why I chose the 35mm, I also enjoy the slightly wider look over the 50mm. BTW I have a ZV-E1 and I'm referring about GM lens throughout this. I would really appreciate your help. Thank you!

    • @MarkBennettCameraCrisis
      @MarkBennettCameraCrisis  День тому

      I would get the 24mm, but you can't use apsc crop mode in the ZV-E1 in 4k (doesn't have enough megapixels). You can use clear image zoom though - and to my eye, it doesn't lose any image quality. The 24 GM is my favourite overall lens because I shoot in my studio a lot
