  • @andreas1701d
    @andreas1701d Рік тому +6

    Nice rundown, but imho a couple of others are worth mentioning.
    1. Sony 18-135. People crap on it because it was a kit lens and because of its standalone price but I've yet to find a lens that combines range, stabilization and this level of sharpness in a package this small (~60% the size + weight of the 18-105!) on APSC or FF... It really is a unique offering and when I tested it vs the Tamron 17-70, it was at least on par optically across the overlapping range. Bonus: it has some semi-macro abilities at 135mm most people overlook.
    2. The old Sony 35mm f1.8. Great all purpose lens and super tiny! Granted I preferred the Sigma 30 myself but with its OSS, the Sony 35 is a great little all-purpose option
    3. The Sony 20 2.8. Definitely not the sharpest or brightest, but basically allows you to turn your a6x00 camera into a point and shoot size wise and is very inconspicuous for street photography. If size is king, you'd be hard pressed to find smaller.

    I actually have the 55 - 210 that you mentioned. I bought it used but it is in mint condition. Although it has no controls on the lens at all and everything is controlled within the camera it still makes for a very versatile lens at a cheap price. And it doesn't look silly on the ZV - E10

    Man I love my 2 ZVE10’s. I had a budget of $2,500 for a camera. Initially I was going to get 1 nice camera. But realized two ZVE10’s with the Sigma trio lens (16, 30, 56 1.4) would be more productive for youtubing.

    • @van94weightlossjourney
      @van94weightlossjourney Рік тому +11

      @@yjforlife For my YourTube stuff, even the ZVE10 is overkill IMHO from a quality perspective. The Sigma trio lenses gives me all the bokeh that I want and light sensitivity so I can run low iso for smoothness. If I bring it all the way up to 1.4 I literally get too much bokeh that it’s comical or how another channel calls it… Toneh.
      I have one camera permanently placed on my tripod which is rigged up with a prompter, 7” monitor facing me (I don’t waste my time with the flip screen on the camera), all of my mic cabling and external battery power.
      The second ZVE10 I use as my run and gun camera. What I like is the color science is exactly the same. The flexibility is huge. While I’m not a pro, there’s a reason why most pro shoots use multiple same cameras.
      For $2,500 for two good 4K cameras, 2 zoom optical stabilizes lenses, and 3 1.4 lenses, it’s a lot of value. I rented a Sony A7 full sensor dslr from borrowlenses with 2 G master lenses that retailed over $7K to test. I got great videos however not ONE person could tell a difference. Even watching on my 70” tv no one could tell. Personally I could tell but it had to be on the big screen and making sure UA-cam was streaming 4K. Even then, man it was like splitting hairs.
      PS. I do all of my shoots on 4K, edit and post 4K. Unfortunately on most people’s mobile phones, 90% of the time UA-cam is streaming the video at 1080p.

      My stuff is more run and gun ( @asimplelife ) so I really only need an “A” camera I was thinking since I grade all my GoPro footage, I would go with something that can give me 10bit log or maybe s-cinetone… I know it’s just going on UA-cam so… thanks for the feed back it’s kind of the direction I have been leaning

I had zero experience with manual focus so i was super hesitant picking up an all manual lens, but thanks to a few reviews and camera crisis i mustard up the courage and picked one up and i couldn't be happier with it. Focus is smooth, picture is impressive. Was a great introduction to manual photography. Will definitely keep my eye out for another manual recommendation down the road.

    After simplifying my travel kit a lot, and because I hate changing lenses when i’m out and about, I’ve noticed I love picking up my 18-135 as a do it all lens, with my A6600 rather than either my sigma 18-50 or the tamron 17-70.
    When I use the sigma I want more reach and miss the lens stabe to record handheld video, when I carry the tamron I get annoyed with the weight and bulk…
    If I know I’m going to do wildlife, then I replace the 18-135 with the 70-350. I love that lens so much!
    I leave the ZV at home as my studio / office camera with either the sigma or the tamron. I live in the UK, so the camera I take outside the home needs to handle a bit of rain.
    And lately, I’ve noticed myself replacing the sony 11mm with the DJI Action 4 for selfies and wide angle shots…
    Compactness, light weight and no fussing around in order to stay in the moment, while capturing good memories with friends and family.

    Hi Mark. Thanks for all that you do. Your content is always incredibly helpful. I am upgrading lenses next month. I was looking at the Viltrox 13mm 1.4 compared to the Sigma 16mm 1.4. I use my ZV-E10 for a wide range of things. I will sometimes put it on the gimbal, tripod, photography, lots of sports shots, landscaping you name it I will attempt to do it. Which lense stands out for you mostly if you were using it in a lot of scenarios? I can see how to aperture ring on the viltron would come in handy. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much., Tom

    • @MarkBennettCameraCrisis

    I used to have a manual Pentax camera and carried it with me everywhere. Taking pictures was part of my everyday life until I accidentally left it on a seat on the Skytrain in Vancouver. I checked lost and found for weeks to no avail. After I lost it I never bothered replacing it. Fast forward to today. I purchased the ZV-E10 a few months ago and it's been sitting in a box ever since. In the new year I want to get out there again and am thinking about buying a lens for it. I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction. I'll be using it mainly for videos but also street / architecture photography. I need a lens that excels in moody outdoor low light conditions such as clouds, grey skies, thunder storms, rain, fog, early mornings and evening dusk and is also good at night time where I will be using distant street lamps, candles or campfires as my only source of light. Thanks and happy new year.

    And can you compare the sigma 16mm with the wide end of sigma 18-50mm lens as I'm considering it to buy (especially the bokeh and the FOV). That will also be a great video idea. Thanks Love from India:)

    Nice overview !
    My travel setup is now after experimenting with some alternative lenses:
    - 2 ZV e10 inside their silicone grip Smallrig cages (a must for larger hands to hold the zv comfortably)
    I’m waiting for a worthy affordable update to the a6600, or a photocentric fx30… or I will bite the bullet and get the a7iv if I find a good deal
    - sony remote + sony mini-tripod remote
    Lens lineup:
    - Sony 11 f1.8 (preferred to Sigma 16 f1.4): This lens is essentially my selfie lens with family, friends. This lens is permanently mounted on my 2nd body with the sony remote tripod… The lens is also great for astro, real-estate, car interiors…
    - Tamron 17-70: just a bit bulky with the zv, but the versatility makes it a main stay on my primary ZV. 25-105 f4 full frame equivalent, with lens stabilisation. I love this lens for everything I photograph or film. Preferred to the sigma 18-50 I got initially: the 50 to 70mm gap was surprisingly frustrating for the way I shoot; and the lack of stab with the zv, kind of negated the f2.8 in low light, forcing to either increase SS or ISO. I have kept it though as a future studio lens. I also prefer the Tamron to Sony 18-135 I got initially: constant faster aperture and better IQ. Lastly, the high minimum focusing distance and the f4 of the 18-105 made me return it.
    - Sony 70-350: the best apsc telephoto lens of the market by far, and the initial reason why I switched out of Canon ef-m. Extremely sharp, light weight, compact, great stab, fast focusing… this lens was a system seller for me.
    (I adore the sigma 56mm… but I really hate swapping lenses when I’m out and about, as a result the Tamron 17-70 is also used as my main portrait lens)

    viltrox is amazing for video and smooth aperture ring gives an edge .but for photo is not so fast and sometimes misses the moving subject .preferable of f2.2 and above for losing vignette and rendition,also reminds me of sony lenses in colours more colder..
    but the new sony 35 fe f1.8 is the best of all.swift,accurate,color rendering,and supports eye af for older bodies like the a6300!!i find for talking heads, interviews,etc is the number one .(due to no distortion, feeling of the scene etc.)
    85 fe f1.8 also makes serious compression on aps c..

    • @MarkBennettCameraCrisis
      @MarkBennettCameraCrisis  Рік тому +1

      It can work for sure - this video is about apsc lenses. The 35 will give you almost a 50mm field of view on the ZV-E10. It's a great lens especially if you have full frame cameras too.

    Great video! Sigma trio + sigma 18-50 are most likely what 95% of people need unless you’re into wildlife photography. Any thoughts on buying a gimbal vs. a 360 camera? Thinking that the latter could boost creative shots beyond what a gimbal could do.

    I know its old but the Sony 18-105mm F4 is a go to lens. Picture isn't as perfect as some newer lens, but it's weight is balanced no matter the zoom since it doesn't extend. Basically set it and forget it, perfect for video.

    Mark great video!
    I am just getting into the DSLR/Gimbal video work. I have been shooting video for a while, with 2 old RCAs(240x480), Canon XL1s and my Canon XA70 4k. But they all have Zoom compatibles.
    My dilemma. Is it possible you could do a video with a diagram showing the distances from camera to target(client) with these fixed lenses? I am probably going with the Sony ZV-E10. So... I am fairly sure that the Sony 11mm would be great for my studio tutorials, low light and vlogging. But would that be too wide for an interview with someone, close enough for a mic but yet not in their face? Could be a quick multiple shots, so a Shotgun mic would be used. It would be nice to see a rough drawing of how you use these lenses in a work situation. A side view showing the camera distance to target and how it appears in its final shot with each fixed lens.
    Keep up the good work your videos are awesome!!!

    hey mark, excellent breakdown of the lenses. I am having an internal struggle between the Sony 18-105 f4 and the tamron 17-70 f2.8
    ill be using catalyst browse the help out my shaky hands for video. but I don't know if the tamron will record the gyroscopic data. as the man with all the wisdom. will the tamron lens make the happy with the catalyst browse? this is my upgrade from the kit lens. wanting extra clarity, better light for photos but still vlog. helps having the little bit more zoom zoom.

    My current lineup:
    Tamron 11-20 f2.8 - replaced my Sigma 16 (loved the image quality of the Sigma, but can’t justify the bulk and weight for a single FL). The Tamron has good range and sharpness, but sub par flare control in my opinion.
    Sony 16-55 g f2.8 - my newest addition. Not the sharpest lens i have, but it performs very good throughout the zoom range, so I don’t need to worry about ‘the sweet spot’ so much. It’s heavier than I would like, but so far it seems to be worth the price (bought it used)
    Sigma 56 f1.4 - my favourite lens still after 5 years. Small, sharp and fast. If I don’t know what I’m shooting, i’ll bring this one. Good for portraits (obviously) but i also use it for street, food, and close ups (It took me months to get use to the focal length, though)
    Sony 70-350 g - I use this lens for birds and landscapes. Sharp and fast focusing, and quite light for what it offers.
    I shoot mostly stills, and i do crop sometimes (bird photos), so i tend to value sharpness above other aspects.

      The 24 GM will give you the same framing as the sogma 16 and the 24 is a ridiculously great lens and pretty affordable for. GMaster. if you wanted to go a little wider, the Sony 20mm 1.8 is the best deal going for quality and price. you can also use the A7iv in apsc mode with it and get a 30mm filed of view.

    Long time listener, first time caller. Enjoyed the Episode very much. I'm currently using a 16mm 2.8 Sony lens (on ZV-E10), but would like to go wider and brighter. The compact size and weight of the Sony 11mm 1.8 is appealing, but the price of the Viltox 13mm 1.4 is a bit more appealing. If you could have only one and price not being considered, which one would you choose? Also I value you opinion even more because you are a "Very Handsome Man" who drinks a LOT of "apple juice". 🤣🍺

    Great video, I have a Sony a6600 and want to get the Fx30 and a FF camera like the A7S3, AIV, or ARV. It’s all about what I’m willing to spend but I would like to know how much better full frame is than crop sensor in bokeh, low light, and overall image quality. I know going to 10bit color from 8bit would be a step up in overall quality. But it would be great seeing a video comparing full frame to crop sensor. If I upgrade, it would be a huge cost, I just want to know or at least get an idea of how much better it would be.

    * 7Artisans 35mm f/0.95 - super cheap, is manual focus but 0.95 is 🔥
    * Viltrox AF 13 f1.4 - use as my selfie lens and also on my a5100 that I use as a webcam
