Finally! One video that includes all of the current wide-to-ultra wide lenses. And you break down in what scenarios you would get one over the other! Great video!
Totally agree with the Sigma 16mm and Tamron 11-20mm combo. I use it myself for all day wedding gimbal video shooting! And yeah, of course, also with Tamron 17-70mm
Love the overview! Good to know you still love the Sigma, especially for the studio. I was a bit bummed when the Sonys came out. However, since I am not as beautiful as you are handsome, which is very, I'm not gimbal or vlogging and you have brightened my day by legitimizing my in home Sigma 16 as the daily driver!
Great video. You already had me sold on the sigma 16. I am glad you doubled down on it. The steady shot tip is awesome. Haircut is very sharp. We all know the person hanging out at the house made you get it cut. Best.
I’m definitely new to the mirrorless market. Due to your reviews and my budget I got the zve10 and the 11mm 1.8. Still learning how to adjust all the settings…but night and day difference in video quality from my iPhone. Thanks for your help!
Tamron 11-20 is calling my name to get paired up with my sigma 18-50. Sigma 16mm f1.4 is a really cool and fun lens too but it’s definitely just a touch too tight for self filming outside of the studio.
Thanks for sharing. Quite scary watching this the day after I picked up my Tamron 11-20 (on sale for approx $770) I have only tried it for a few shots, but man, that's a cool lens. I almost feel like I'm that other Mark. The Landscape shooting Fuji using Mark. Crawling around in the dirt with my tripod and wide angle zoom. Thanks for all the tips and tricks and reviews. You have really awoken my interest for photo again✌️
Dammit Mark, I spent yesterday debating which lens to get and decided to order the Sony 11mm, but now you got me re-thinking my choice. Argh, these Sony lenses are giving me lens anxiety. Time for some apple juice. PS Love the videos, keep up the great work.
Great video Mark! I have had a few of these. Sigma 16, legendary lens, sold it. I still ask myself why I did that. I have the Sony 15 - what a lens! Color rendition better than the Sigma, full featured and tiny. The Sigma just edges it on bokeh. Also have the Sony 11. It's an off label G lens in my book and the best vlog lens ever. The Samyang 12 was pretty good, but I reckon the Sony 11 is better, plus it's a Samyang so I sold it. I know. I haven't had the Viltrox and the Tamron, because, well Viltrox and Tamron. I know, I know. Don't have the Sony 10-20 because of F4 and I already have the Sony 10-18 with OSS that can also be a cheeky FF 12mm when it wants. Thanks again for these awesome videos. Your advice is solid.
great video. picked up the sigma 16 and tamron 11-20 because of your reviews and am quite happy. video request: can you do one of your thorough breakdowns for the sigma 18-35 and sigma 50-100 (both f/1.8) with the MC-11 adapter (which allows for the canon lenses to be used on sony e-mount), and all the lens firmware updated. sigma used to make an a-mount version but discontinued it after sony moved to e-mount for everything. apparently these are two of the best lenses for aps-c cameras but since there isn't an e-mount version, they fly really far under the radar for sony A6X000/ZVE-10 users but they are used a lot on sony full frame in super 35 crop.
I just got my Sony 11mm last week. Didn't have a chance to "take it out for a spin" yet and just tried it a bit at home and it is really bright, light and wide! Especially comparing it to the Zve10 kit lens. I'll be using it mainly for travel vlogging and wanted to try some astrophotography/video with it. So far it looks like an amazing lens.
I do own the Viltrox 23mm. Thinking about getting the Sigma 18-50 and the either the Sony 11 or Viltrox 13 for the kit. Leaning for the 11, as sometimes I do some interior design photography for my wife. THe 18-50 would cover the 23mm territory, and I think the 18mm with a gimbal would also work for some tournament/sports vlogging (while having some room to get to 50mm for some closer shots). All that paired with a Crane M3+A6400.
Let’s go ultra viral ♥️ I have the sigma a long time now, but after I bought the Tamron for outside, I recognized that the sigma is not wide enough for my Studio Main Camera but 13-14mm would be better. It went to the second angle and the tamron was my main lense for a month now, but I am kinda missing the 1.4 so I ordered the viltrox today. Can’t wait to test it and finally have the Tamron free again to put on my zv e10 for photos without touching my setup :)
I've got the Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 (low light lens) and the Sigma 11-20 f/2.8 (general purpose lens) for my ZV-E10 and that covers a lot of what I will do with that little guy. For photography I mostly use the a7iv I feel the photo experience of the ZV-E10 is pretty poor overall so I bring the duo with me many times. Cheers and thanks for another great video.
Yes, I take my A7iv for photos usually. Although, I am starting to get a lot more comfortable with the zv-e10 now that I have set up touch shutter on the screen. I’m thinking of doing a video about it.

That low light test will be interesting... Would be helpful to know if it's really worth spending a lot more money on a lens that is for example 1.4 instead of 1.8
Good show ... no t buying any lenses now .. am pretty well covered with what focal lengths and lens speeds I need. But I do agree that 15mm Sony is pretty tempting. The 13mm Viltrox is on my list too. When they come available here, I will be testing it. I have the Samyang 12mm AF and probably would just hang on to it because I got it cheap. It certainly depends on your shooting requirement ... I hate to buy stuff that I don't use. Good Show!
I chose a Sigma 18-50 2.8 for my studio lens and have been super happy with that range. I don't do any talking head but I don't see why it wouldn't be good for that too if its on a tripod.
Thanks Mark great video, once I get my overtime money I will be getting the 11mm here soon and I will be using your link. I just saved this video to do that. --chris
Wow I been busy with work I gotta lotta videos of yours to catch up on! I have the sigma 16mm 30mm and 56mm that’s all I need honestly but the new Sony lenses look good I’ll buy them when I go viral as well 🤣
Hii mark! First of all your videos have been a treat to watch and they are just so helpful for newbies in this field like me😅 I just have one doubt, like I’m having the zve10 with the kit lens and need a wider lens for mainly vlogging and some studio work too since the kit lens doesn’t offer that much blur in the studio shoots… so what should i go for the sony 11mm or the viltrox 13mm?
I stretched my self a bit and got 11mm 1.8 and 10-20PZ (both for vloging)and instead of getting one 15mm 1.4 ,I got the 55 210 telephoto with OSS and sigma 30mm 1.4 for the studio set up
We are like Biggie and Tupac. Right now we’re friends but pretty soon enemies. As usual great video, now I know what new lens I’m looking for, for Doug
Hi Mark, 1st question: how many feet away from your face does your 16mm1.4 stand when you record in your studio? 2nd question: what's the best lens for me to have if I want to have a frame like streamers have (markiplier, coryxkenshin...) ? Basically, a frame in which we can only see my upper body and my face. Thank you !
Hi! Very good job, love your channel. Will Sony zv e10 work with xlr k3m mike? I want to record nature sounds? Or should I go with zoom h1n? Or Sony pcm a10?
Will you be doing a whole range of APSC lens guides? Ultrawide is well covered but what about mid range zooms, portrait lenses and telephoto. My current lenses are the Sigma 16mm, Sigma 18-50, Sigma 56mm and I'm thinking about the Sony 70-350
I mentioned it in the video. Rokinon and Samyang are the same company - just a different name in different markets. I just found that (at least my copy) does not offer the image quality of the others. but it is still a good lens and if you find a good price then it can do the job for vlogging for sure 👍
Hey @Mark beginner here. Been binging your content. I am looking for a lens that I will use indoors for photo and video, sometimes low light situations like using light panels with with different colors. Would you still go with the Tamron?

Great video as always Mark! I think there might be another budget option for an ultra wide (manual), but I'm not sure it would work, might be a good idea for a video. The TTArtisan 17mm f1.4 has a 40.5mm filter thread, the same as the kit lens. I was remembering your video on the Ulanzi WL-3, and I wonder if that adapter would work on the TTArtisan lens. That would make it a $160 dollar combo for a 13mm f1.4, with the option of it also being a 17mm 1.4. Of course it's a manual lens, but could be an interesting option. I'd love you to try it on a video. Keep up the amazing work.
Nice Video Friend.. I'm planning to move into Real Estate Field, Currently own Dji OsmoAction, Dji Pocket2, Dji Mini2, Insta 360 one x2 and Moza Mini P 3-1 Gimbal. Firstly, Are these sufficient enough for Real Estate Video Shoots, or else need to buy a Camera. If so what should to ideal option in Budget for Low Light Indoor Shoots...?
Question. If I can only afford 1 sony lens for vlogging and studio would you go for the 11mm or the 15mm. (the other would be bought later down the line) I am narrowed down to the sony mostly for the weight. Or 1mm and spend the $100 difference for the kit lens and use it in the studio(talking head)
Great video as always, thanks a lot. I'm sure you'll have infinity money very soon. Quick question, you can only have one ultra wide lens, the sony 10-20mm at 750€, or the tamron 11-20mm at 850€-900€ (i've never seen lower than this over here), wich one would you pick?
they dropped the Tamron here in North America - see if you can’t order the Tamron from BandH - I think they ship there and even with the fee, it might be cheaper than 750€. but the Sonybis great depending on what you’re shooting. what are you shooting?
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I'm in the same dilemma, Mark. I do vlogging (tho not the typical talking head shots; usually lifestyle videos like just the environment and what i'm doing, mostly indoors, unboxing & showcasing products in my 20sqm studio apartment; sometimes also portraits in casual family events; occasionally, travel photos). I have the ZV-E10, Crane M3 gimbal, and recently purchased the Tamron 17-70 f2.8 to be my main workhorse to replace the kitlens, but I never thought it would be just too heavy for my petite hands to bring around when going out, esp for the ZV-E10 lol (plus found out it can't work with my m3). So now, I'm in the hunt for one wide lens (preferably compact and a zoom because I've had the Samyang 12mm f2.0 but I felt limited by the fixed focal length for videos). I've been considering the Sony 10-20 for its size and features such as the PZ (perfect for the ZV-E10 and M3); however, I can't help but be skeptical about the f4.0, which is most likely to be a problem when filming indoors/at night? (like when I'm having dinner or in a moody restaurant, I almost always wish I had a lens that can go wider than 2.8). I constantly shoot 4k24p at 1/48 SS btw. If I could turn back time, I probably should have just picked up a Sigma 18-50 f2.8 (just thought the 70mm of the tamron would cover me more) and a 1.4 wide prime (probably the Sony 15 f1.4) that I can pack light and my gimbal can handle. Sorry for the lengthy comment, but I'd love to hear your thoughts so I can finally make up my mind which lens to buy (or replace?) next 😅 Your videos are always of great help, so thank you!!!
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Nah, the fees and taxes are too high, same price as buying it here. I have the ZV e10, sigma 18-50 and Sony 70-350, and I want an all around ultra wide lens (video with my crane M3, photography, vlogging, landscape, etc.. not for studio), it has to be between the the Tamron 11-20 and the Sony 10-20 for the versatility, if i see myself using a focal length between these 3 zoom lenses very often then I'll get a prime. But it's hard to believe it's worth to get a bigger, heavier, more expensive (+100€ in my case), larger (specially at 11mm) just because 1 stop of light which I believe it's the only advantage of the Tamron, is it?... I think I'll wait for a comparison video :) Thanks for replying btw
Just bought the ZV-e10. Going nuts figuring which lens to buy first. I am a total newbie to this world. What would you suggest that's relatively compact and versatile? (was thinking sigma 16 or sony 11mm f1.8 and sony 18-105 f4.) Doing mostly videos but I am really motivated to get into photography (other than full auto mode!) Thanks!
for vlogging, Sony 11 1.8, for portraits (head and shoulders pics) sigma 56mm 1.4, versatile travel - Sigma 18-50 2.8 or the Tamron 17-70 2.8 would be my pics
I mentioned it in the video, but in case it’s not clear, the 11mm is better for vlogging because it’s light and much wider. But the Viltrox is still good.
What would you pick between the sony 11mm f1.8 and viltrox 13mm f1.4 for landscape/astro photography? I'm leaning towards the viltrox due to the f stop and I'd save a bit of money, but the size of the sony is very tempting for when I'm hiking. The only other lens I own is the sigma 18-50mm f2.8 and these will go on my a6000. Thanks!
that’s tough - I love the images out of the Viltrox and it’s a brighter lens. However, you really would appreciate the 11 hiking though. That and the Sigma would be a small setup. The Viltrox is hefty, but excellent.
I want to replicate somewhat the look of a Leica Q2monochrome with my Sony A6600 (which I often shoot in monochrome). I have a Sony 35mm 1.8 lens but need something wider to get closer to the Leica q2 28mm look. I’m thinking the Sony 15mm 1.4 comes close. Also love the 11mm 1.8 but worry about distorted faces closer up. Any thoughts appreciated.
The 15 will definitely be a closer match with its great quality - but it will be more of 23 or so. The Sony 20mm 1.8 G is not a bad option - it's full frame, but still a pretty small lens that will give you about a 30mm on the a6600.
the lens isn’t bad, but it is just outshined by the Viltrox and the 11 from Sony which are excellent. but they are also more expensive. I have some tests coming up that will show the differences. they’re pretty consistent with Arthur R and others. But in a lot of situations, the Samyang will serve you well.
Yes the infinite money options are the only options that a person would dream of, but unless Sony updates the apsc bodies with 4k 60p and fast rolling shutter I don't even know what they are trying to do here.
Excellent video. In your future video, It would be interesting to zoom all the way in and all the way out with the zoom lenses so that we can see the different ranges in terms of distance. You NEVER do it ! Thank you Mark.
Yes - if you use HLG3 there’s plenty of info to color grade especially. I use a LeemingLUT and color grade every video. Of course 10-bit will be better and I would recommend only 10-bit cameras for shooting log. But with HLG you’ll be fine. I have vids about it
I am super offtopic with this one, but i just filmed an event and damn 2.8 is just enough to film whole event. As it goes, i can also tell f4 is really bad for events. 16-35 gm is good with fb but i wish sony release more low aperture zooms with no focus breathing. Yeah f4 is more landcape lens as you said
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis yeah but opportunity to change focal length is priceless when filming some major event like anniversary or weddings. Primes are good for street filming though
Do really want to pick up a sony 15 or viltrox 13, but I've hit my "spend money to make money" quota. For budget tier, I'd like to have seen a manual focus honorable mention. Recently I got a andoer 25mm f1.8 for 30 bucks(normally 70?) that is gorgeous for shots that involve very little focus shifting, such a studio or livestreaming, though I guess I'm more broke-boy tier xD
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Yeah, my next glass purchase is definitely going to be an AF wider angle & aperture, so this is all really useful. Thanks for all the videos :)
Hello Mark, love your videos..Can you help ? I want to record in portrait for Instagram , what kens should I get to have a full frame rather than cropped ? I have the sigma 1.4 16mm you recommended. But photos are excellent. But when I record the frame is cropped and zooms in. I am using a Sony ZVE10. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
make sure your stabilization is not on ACTIVE when in video But remember, Photos and video have a different aspect ratio. Photos are 3:2 and Video is 16:9 - if you want them to be the same size, you can shoot your photos at 16:9 too. But they won't be full 24 megapixel size.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thank you Mark, but for shooting videos for Instagram, in order to have full frame vertical portrait video no crop. What lens should I get , to be portrait video for all my videos ? Sorry a newbie , you have taught me everything I know so far, thanks.
if you turn the zv-e10 vertically, it will shoot a vertical video. there is no crop. it’s an aspect ratio of 9:16 which is vertical video. but it will be different than a picture.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Awesome, it worked, turned Stabilization to off , and recorded vertically. And everything is good , your recommendation of the Sigma 16mm makes for a great lens for my videos. REMEMBER - YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE. The videos you produce help people like me. You are a great teacher with a comedic aspect, for that I thank you. Don't stop.
Boa sugestão! Enfim vc que tem milhares e milhares de fans, poderia marcar uma entrevista com algum pica da sony e fazer algumas perguntas sobre o nosso querido a6xxx ou a7xxx, no pacote é importante 1080p codecs melhores, 4:2:2 interno e video 4k/60 ja estaria legal por $1.000, pra desbancar os concorrentes dai ja lança logo uma lente nativa leve rapida e optica brilhante 15mm 1.4, esse combo vai vender igual suas cervejas!
Actually the problem is: Which sony TELE APS-C lens... ? Since nothing serious is availble. It seems that sony considers the apsc sector for vlogging only. Very disappointed by Sony.
These are just the wide-angles - in my latest video I covered most lenses available - including telephoto. There are some excellent ones. The Sony 70-350 and Tamron 18-300 are amazing and apsc only, ua-cam.com/video/XQkNbe8-Fy4/v-deo.html
In all seriousness, I bought the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 and the Sigma 18-50mm kit lens replacement (my kit lens was not great quality) first, then when Sony released the trio, I decided to buy the 10-20mm f/4 in the interim - the 11mm and 15mm are the next steps. The viltrox isn't yet available via retail as far as I have been able to determine. I'm also grabbing the 18-105 f/4 because it is very cost effective for its feature set and video suitability.
Hi. Could someone offer a 2nd opinion to this noob suffering from analysis paralysis? A channel uses 2 Black Magic cams with Olympus 12-40mm 2.8f PRO lenses. One overhead. One tabletop. I love their look for my different genre (so not rivaling them, I just like their production.) Dark studio with bright lights on subject. From a behind the scenes photo, table cam gets about a foot away from subject mostly. Sometimes three. I have a Dougie (sp?) Sony ZV e10. Will someone compare these at BH and let me know if I'm on the right track to selecting a comparable lens? I don't expect exact same. Just beginner level comparable shooting conditions and improve upon when I get better. I need to pee or get off the pot. Lol Target quality: Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO (24-80mm 35mm-equivalent for Micro Four Thirds) Ideas: Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Sony E (27-75mm 35mm-equivalent) Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 Lens (Sony E) (Full frame) Thanks!

That low light test will be interesting... Would be helpful to know if it's really worth spending a lot more money on a lens that is for example 1.4 instead of 1.8
Well it depends - the Sigma 16mm 1.4 is cheaper than the Sony 11 1.8 - so is the Viltrox 13mm for that matter!!
Choosing lens is most difficult thing in life 😂 . Can you make a video 1 go to lens.
What are you shooting - I’ll tell you would I would do
Nicely done! Enjoyed the different options you presented! Now if you could do something similar, but on the beer!
🍺🍺
Good show ... no t buying any lenses now .. am pretty well covered with what focal lengths and lens speeds I need. But I do agree that 15mm Sony is pretty tempting. The 13mm Viltrox is on my list too. When they come available here, I will be testing it. I have the Samyang 12mm AF and probably would just hang on to it because I got it cheap. It certainly depends on your shooting requirement ... I hate to buy stuff that I don't use. Good Show!
Smart man!!
I chose a Sigma 18-50 2.8 for my studio lens and have been super happy with that range. I don't do any talking head but I don't see why it wouldn't be good for that too if its on a tripod.
I’m taking about wides here - but yes, the 18-50 is excellent and perfect for a studio as well. when I did my review on it I said the same thing 👍👍
Lmao this is why I shouldn't leave comments on videos when I'm half asleep, completely forgot I was watching a video about wides xD
Thanks Mark great video, once I get my overtime money I will be getting the 11mm here soon and I will be using your link. I just saved this video to do that. --chris
I appreciate you thinking about me!! the 11 is great.
Wow I been busy with work I gotta lotta videos of yours to catch up on!
I have the sigma 16mm 30mm and 56mm that’s all I need honestly but the new Sony lenses look good I’ll buy them when I go viral as well 🤣
Can’t go wrong with the sigma trio
Hii mark! First of all your videos have been a treat to watch and they are just so helpful for newbies in this field like me😅
I just have one doubt, like I’m having the zve10 with the kit lens and need a wider lens for mainly vlogging and some studio work too since the kit lens doesn’t offer that much blur in the studio shoots… so what should i go for the sony 11mm or the viltrox 13mm?
I stretched my self a bit and got 11mm 1.8 and 10-20PZ (both for vloging)and instead of getting one 15mm 1.4 ,I got the 55 210 telephoto with OSS and sigma 30mm 1.4 for the studio set up
Thanks Mark... great video! I've got the Sigma 16mm... I got it for my dark haunted basement to film spooky ghosties. I think I made a good choice.
great choice for sure
We are like Biggie and Tupac. Right now we’re friends but pretty soon enemies. As usual great video, now I know what new lens I’m looking for, for Doug
I like to think of us as friends who will become best friends 😇😇😇. We’ll be like Matti and Pete.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis you are so right!
Very helpful.. and informative.. 🍻
Hi Mark,
1st question: how many feet away from your face does your 16mm1.4 stand when you record in your studio?
2nd question: what's the best lens for me to have if I want to have a frame like streamers have (markiplier, coryxkenshin...) ? Basically, a frame in which we can only see my upper body and my face.
Thank you !
About 2 feet. And the best lens for streaming to get that look is probably the 16mm 1.4
Excellent video! You’re a comedic billionaire in my opinion.
🤣I’m rich in spirit.
Hi!
Very good job, love your channel.
Will Sony zv e10 work with xlr k3m mike?
I want to record nature sounds?
Or should I go with zoom h1n? Or Sony pcm a10?
Will you be doing a whole range of APSC lens guides? Ultrawide is well covered but what about mid range zooms, portrait lenses and telephoto. My current lenses are the Sigma 16mm, Sigma 18-50, Sigma 56mm and I'm thinking about the Sony 70-350
Yes - I will be doing more - but the lenses you've chosen so far are excellent in my opinion.
Hello Mark, have you had the chance to test the VILTROX 23mm F1.4 E? Thank you and greetings
I purchased with discount on Amazon Rokinon 12 mm F2.0 AF for vlog is cheaper and small very good lens you forgot to included in the video my friend.
I mentioned it in the video. Rokinon and Samyang are the same company - just a different name in different markets.
I just found that (at least my copy) does not offer the image quality of the others. but it is still a good lens and if you find a good price then it can do the job for vlogging for sure 👍
Hey @Mark beginner here. Been binging your content. I am looking for a lens that I will use indoors for photo and video, sometimes low light situations like using light panels with with different colors. Would you still go with the Tamron?
For the best lowlight - go with the Sigma 16 1.4 or Sony 15 1.4- but if you need the zoom range for wide angle - the Tamron is your best option

Great video as always Mark! I think there might be another budget option for an ultra wide (manual), but I'm not sure it would work, might be a good idea for a video.
The TTArtisan 17mm f1.4 has a 40.5mm filter thread, the same as the kit lens. I was remembering your video on the Ulanzi WL-3, and I wonder if that adapter would work on the TTArtisan lens.
That would make it a $160 dollar combo for a 13mm f1.4, with the option of it also being a 17mm 1.4. Of course it's a manual lens, but could be an interesting option. I'd love you to try it on a video.
Keep up the amazing work.
I like 11 mm f 1.8 the best video. thank you
me too
Nice Video Friend.. I'm planning to move into Real Estate Field, Currently own Dji OsmoAction, Dji Pocket2, Dji Mini2, Insta 360 one x2 and Moza Mini P 3-1 Gimbal. Firstly, Are these sufficient enough for Real Estate Video Shoots, or else need to buy a Camera. If so what should to ideal option in Budget for Low Light Indoor Shoots...?
those can be great but if you need lowlight - get the Zv-E10 with the Sony Qmaster 1.8 and the Zhiyun Crane M2S
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis …What is the Sony Q Master 1.8? Others I got it…
Hi mark! If you were to choose a super wide-angle lens for apsc, for indoor real estate imaging, which one would you choose?
probably the Tamron 11-20 for the versatility and 2.8 should be good
Question. If I can only afford 1 sony lens for vlogging and studio would you go for the 11mm or the 15mm. (the other would be bought later down the line) I am narrowed down to the sony mostly for the weight.
Or 1mm and spend the $100 difference for the kit lens and use it in the studio(talking head)
I would do the 15. for vlogging, just get a tripod that extends a little
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thank you for the feedback. I have been binge watching your channel, great content,
It is hard to choose. Thanks for useful information. How much is sony 11 compared with sony 15 in low light?
they both focus great, but the 1.4 better because it lets in more light.
Great video as always, thanks a lot. I'm sure you'll have infinity money very soon. Quick question, you can only have one ultra wide lens, the sony 10-20mm at 750€, or the tamron 11-20mm at 850€-900€ (i've never seen lower than this over here), wich one would you pick?
they dropped the Tamron here in North America - see if you can’t order the Tamron from BandH - I think they ship there and even with the fee, it might be cheaper than 750€. but the Sonybis great depending on what you’re shooting. what are you shooting?
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I'm in the same dilemma, Mark. I do vlogging (tho not the typical talking head shots; usually lifestyle videos like just the environment and what i'm doing, mostly indoors, unboxing & showcasing products in my 20sqm studio apartment; sometimes also portraits in casual family events; occasionally, travel photos). I have the ZV-E10, Crane M3 gimbal, and recently purchased the Tamron 17-70 f2.8 to be my main workhorse to replace the kitlens, but I never thought it would be just too heavy for my petite hands to bring around when going out, esp for the ZV-E10 lol (plus found out it can't work with my m3). So now, I'm in the hunt for one wide lens (preferably compact and a zoom because I've had the Samyang 12mm f2.0 but I felt limited by the fixed focal length for videos).
I've been considering the Sony 10-20 for its size and features such as the PZ (perfect for the ZV-E10 and M3); however, I can't help but be skeptical about the f4.0, which is most likely to be a problem when filming indoors/at night? (like when I'm having dinner or in a moody restaurant, I almost always wish I had a lens that can go wider than 2.8). I constantly shoot 4k24p at 1/48 SS btw.
If I could turn back time, I probably should have just picked up a Sigma 18-50 f2.8 (just thought the 70mm of the tamron would cover me more) and a 1.4 wide prime (probably the Sony 15 f1.4) that I can pack light and my gimbal can handle.
Sorry for the lengthy comment, but I'd love to hear your thoughts so I can finally make up my mind which lens to buy (or replace?) next 😅 Your videos are always of great help, so thank you!!!
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Nah, the fees and taxes are too high, same price as buying it here. I have the ZV e10, sigma 18-50 and Sony 70-350, and I want an all around ultra wide lens (video with my crane M3, photography, vlogging, landscape, etc.. not for studio), it has to be between the the Tamron 11-20 and the Sony 10-20 for the versatility, if i see myself using a focal length between these 3 zoom lenses very often then I'll get a prime. But it's hard to believe it's worth to get a bigger, heavier, more expensive (+100€ in my case), larger (specially at 11mm) just because 1 stop of light which I believe it's the only advantage of the Tamron, is it?... I think I'll wait for a comparison video :) Thanks for replying btw
Hi Mark - what in your opinion is the best zoom lens for sharp stills? Sigma 18-50 f2.8 ?
yes - or the tamron 17-70 2.8
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks 👍
Just bought the ZV-e10. Going nuts figuring which lens to buy first. I am a total newbie to this world. What would you suggest that's relatively compact and versatile? (was thinking sigma 16 or sony 11mm f1.8 and sony 18-105 f4.) Doing mostly videos but I am really motivated to get into photography (other than full auto mode!) Thanks!
for vlogging, Sony 11 1.8, for portraits (head and shoulders pics) sigma 56mm 1.4, versatile travel - Sigma 18-50 2.8 or the Tamron 17-70 2.8 would be my pics
There’s gonna be a new addition to this lineup soon by Tokina. The 11-18 F2.8.
Hopefully I will get a chance to check it out
For vlogging, do you recommend the VILTROX 13mm F1.4 or the Sony 11mm F1.8?, and could you tell me the reason for your choice? Thank You.
I mentioned it in the video, but in case it’s not clear, the 11mm is better for vlogging because it’s light and much wider. But the Viltrox is still good.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis But the Viltrox it's not more light than the Sony? Thank you for the answer.
@@juanenvlogs no - it’s much bigger and heavier. Sony is 181g and the Viltrox is 420g.
What would you pick between the sony 11mm f1.8 and viltrox 13mm f1.4 for landscape/astro photography? I'm leaning towards the viltrox due to the f stop and I'd save a bit of money, but the size of the sony is very tempting for when I'm hiking. The only other lens I own is the sigma 18-50mm f2.8 and these will go on my a6000. Thanks!
that’s tough - I love the images out of the Viltrox and it’s a brighter lens. However, you really would appreciate the 11 hiking though. That and the Sigma would be a small setup. The Viltrox is hefty, but excellent.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks for the reply
I want to replicate somewhat the look of a Leica Q2monochrome with my Sony A6600 (which I often shoot in monochrome). I have a Sony 35mm 1.8 lens but need something wider to get closer to the Leica q2 28mm look. I’m thinking the Sony 15mm 1.4 comes close. Also love the 11mm 1.8 but worry about distorted faces closer up. Any thoughts appreciated.
The 15 will definitely be a closer match with its great quality - but it will be more of 23 or so. The Sony 20mm 1.8 G is not a bad option - it's full frame, but still a pretty small lens that will give you about a 30mm on the a6600.
I have the Samyang,, I'm wondering if you could rent or borrow from a friend another samyang,, maybe the one you have has a defect as you mentioned?
the lens isn’t bad, but it is just outshined by the Viltrox and the 11 from Sony which are excellent. but they are also more expensive. I have some tests coming up that will show the differences. they’re pretty consistent with Arthur R and others. But in a lot of situations, the Samyang will serve you well.
Yes the infinite money options are the only options that a person would dream of, but unless Sony updates the apsc bodies with 4k 60p and fast rolling shutter I don't even know what they are trying to do here.
it does seem like a better camera needs to come
I was in the same boat. Still waiting for an updated apsc body bit for now I use my A7IV with the apsc lenses in 4k60p crop mode.
All those lenses are out of my budget. What about the manual lens? They are much cheaper price right?
some of them are yes. Look at ttartisan- they make good quality lenses for great prices
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis ok thanks
Nice video. Thx a lot
What do you think about Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD Lens?
As the best all around workhorse lens but not for the low light
defiant an amazing lens - covers a big focal range all at 2.8. perect for travel - you never have to take it off the camera
Which lens would you recommend for astrophotography with the zv-e10?
probably the Viltrox 13 or the Sony 11 would be best. but you can get some manual focus lenses if you’re manually focusing for Astro.
Will any of these recommended lenses work with the product placement AF feature?
yes - for sure. any lens with autofocus will work.
Excellent video. In your future video, It would be interesting to zoom all the way in and all the way out with the zoom lenses so that we can see the different ranges in terms of distance. You NEVER do it !
Thank you Mark.
I do it in the individual reviews. But these are all primes except the 10-20 and 11-20 (which look very very close) 👍
Hi mark, I’ve been wanting to know if Zve10’s footage really be color graded? I mean will it be worth it and how
Yes - if you use HLG3 there’s plenty of info to color grade especially. I use a LeemingLUT and color grade every video. Of course 10-bit will be better and I would recommend only 10-bit cameras for shooting log. But with HLG you’ll be fine. I have vids about it
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks🤝
I am super offtopic with this one, but i just filmed an event and damn 2.8 is just enough to film whole event.
As it goes, i can also tell f4 is really bad for events. 16-35 gm is good with fb but i wish sony release more low aperture zooms with no focus breathing. Yeah f4 is more landcape lens as you said
low aperture zooms are very difficult to make - so 2.8 is usually about as low as you’ll get. I think what you should do is grab some primes.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis yeah but opportunity to change focal length is priceless when filming some major event like anniversary or weddings. Primes are good for street filming though
Do really want to pick up a sony 15 or viltrox 13, but I've hit my "spend money to make money" quota. For budget tier, I'd like to have seen a manual focus honorable mention. Recently I got a andoer 25mm f1.8 for 30 bucks(normally 70?) that is gorgeous for shots that involve very little focus shifting, such a studio or livestreaming, though I guess I'm more broke-boy tier xD
I’m mostly covering autofocus lenses - but I’m looking into get some manual in
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Yeah, my next glass purchase is definitely going to be an AF wider angle & aperture, so this is all really useful. Thanks for all the videos :)
How about the Sigma 18-50 F/2.8 as the all rounder bang for buck?
That is my pick for all around bang for buck for sure. I reviewed it and it blew me away 🤯
Tamron 17-70 f2.8 with stabilzation is clearly better....
@@markofadljevic1975 I agree with you. But for my style of photography I can do away with VR.
Is sigma 16-50mm is good for all rounder ..?
the Sigma 18-50 2.8 is an excellent lens.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks… I enjoy your Channel !
Thanks!! great video!
Hello Mark, love your videos..Can you help ? I want to record in portrait for Instagram , what kens should I get to have a full frame rather than cropped ? I have the sigma 1.4 16mm you recommended. But photos are excellent. But when I record the frame is cropped and zooms in. I am using a Sony ZVE10. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
make sure your stabilization is not on ACTIVE when in video But remember, Photos and video have a different aspect ratio. Photos are 3:2 and Video is 16:9 - if you want them to be the same size, you can shoot your photos at 16:9 too. But they won't be full 24 megapixel size.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thank you Mark, but for shooting videos for Instagram, in order to have full frame vertical portrait video no crop. What lens should I get , to be portrait video for all my videos ? Sorry a newbie , you have taught me everything I know so far, thanks.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I'm using a ZVE10 trying to record portrait in 4k for most of my videos.
if you turn the zv-e10 vertically, it will shoot a vertical video. there is no crop. it’s an aspect ratio of 9:16 which is vertical video. but it will be different than a picture.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Awesome, it worked, turned Stabilization to off , and recorded vertically. And everything is good , your recommendation of the Sigma 16mm makes for a great lens for my videos. REMEMBER - YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE. The videos you produce help people like me.

Wow this this the video I neeedddddd 😭😭😭😭
same here, i have been check all kind of those lenses video for weeks
hope it helps!!
Boa sugestão! Enfim vc que tem milhares e milhares de fans, poderia marcar uma entrevista com algum pica da sony e fazer algumas perguntas sobre o nosso querido a6xxx ou a7xxx, no pacote é importante 1080p codecs melhores, 4:2:2 interno e video 4k/60 ja estaria legal por $1.000, pra desbancar os concorrentes dai ja lança logo uma lente nativa leve rapida e optica brilhante 15mm 1.4, esse combo vai vender igual suas cervejas!
That would be great - but I don’t think Sony cares very much about what think 🤣🤣
Actually the problem is: Which sony TELE APS-C lens... ? Since nothing serious is availble. It seems that sony considers the apsc sector for vlogging only. Very disappointed by Sony.
These are just the wide-angles - in my latest video I covered most lenses available - including telephoto. There are some excellent ones. The Sony 70-350 and Tamron 18-300 are amazing and apsc only, ua-cam.com/video/XQkNbe8-Fy4/v-deo.html
My solution is simple: Buy All of the Lenses all of the time
This is the way
In all seriousness, I bought the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 and the Sigma 18-50mm kit lens replacement (my kit lens was not great quality) first, then when Sony released the trio, I decided to buy the 10-20mm f/4 in the interim - the 11mm and 15mm are the next steps. The viltrox isn't yet available via retail as far as I have been able to determine. I'm also grabbing the 18-105 f/4 because it is very cost effective for its feature set and video suitability.
Hi. Could someone offer a 2nd opinion to this noob suffering from analysis paralysis?
A channel uses 2 Black Magic cams with Olympus 12-40mm 2.8f PRO lenses.
One overhead.
One tabletop.
I love their look for my different genre (so not rivaling them, I just like their production.)
Dark studio with bright lights on subject.
From a behind the scenes photo, table cam gets about a foot away from subject mostly. Sometimes three.
I have a Dougie (sp?) Sony ZV e10.
Will someone compare these at BH and let me know if I'm on the right track to selecting a comparable lens? I don't expect exact same. Just beginner level comparable shooting conditions and improve upon when I get better. I need to pee or get off the pot. Lol
Target quality:
Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO
(24-80mm 35mm-equivalent for Micro Four Thirds)
Ideas:
Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Sony E
(27-75mm 35mm-equivalent)
Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 Lens (Sony E)
(Full frame)
Thanks!
