Oooh! Great shots! :D
Thank you so much!
the sharpness on the 1655 is incredible. the weather proofing and build quality is also excellent compared to the sigma and tamron
Totally agree. 100% worth the premium. My images coming out of this lens compared to my sigma is consistently better.
Absolutely LOVE the shot at 2.52mark❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much man :)
Great video. Loved how you used the lens to show it off.
Thank you. I'm a huge fan of crash zooms haha. This lens is perfect for it.
This is Great! Please do more vlogs with this lens including low light performances! I am thinking if I should get this lens too. Subscribed!
Thank you so much man. I think this is the best APSC lens for the Sony system. I know that’s a bold statement but everything from the image quality to the very diverse focal distance to the over all build is perfect. It feels perfect on the FX30
Yeah it's definitely a super clean lens, really ticks all the boxes for focal length on apsc.... but the price is rough. No OSS which is unfortunate but then again, I don't think we've seen a small 2.8 lens with OSS yet. Price : Quality ratio, the Sigma slaps, but misses out on that near 85mm (apsc) length which the Sony barely achieves, which is super nice.
So far the go to is the Sigma 18-50 f2.8 & Sigma 56mm f1.4 (just gorgeous) for running around / B Roll.
That setup you have is perfect! I have the sigma 18-50 as well. Amazing lens. The reason why I prefer the Sony lens is exactly what you said. Plus I self vlog a lot and the 18mm is way too cropped in. I also love the physical feel of the Sony lens. It fits perfectly on the FX30 🥹. Price like you said is gross though 🤣
thanks for this review!
You are welcome! Thanks for the kindness :)
Man, this one is another incremental step up from your last as far as overall production quality. I specifically noticed you are getting a good blend of "shaky" and super-stabilized footage when you change scenes. I'd love to see the 16-55 on APSC vs the 20-70 on Full Frame. Those should be very equivalent when it comes to focal length, bokeh and lowlight performance. Maybe...I think the full frame might do better with the dual-based ISO for lowlight. But, I'm curious. Maybe when you get back. Make some affiliate links and I'll definitely use them if I can when I purchase anything, although it might be a while.
I appreciate you Tim :) Thanks for noticing all the details. Not many people do. I’m curious about the same things you are. I wish I would have brought this lens with me to Japan actually :( not that I regret the lens I brought but this 16-55 would have been great to have at night.
Great lens! I had to make the decision between this and the Tamron 17-70 2.8 apsc. I figured that one is better since it has more range and would match my Tamron 11-20.
Fumbled it about 3ft onto carpet at a convention and now all the gears are out of alignment. Great lens but i guess that's where the lower cost comes into factor.
Anyway great shots at Japanfest!
Thanks man. I think you made the right choice though. The value to quality ratio is much better on the Tamron. Sony is a little overpriced but I find the quality of their lenses are a notch above third party lenses. Everything from build quality to performance is one touch above but at a cost.
@@noisackda2564 yea maybe a G lens can survive a 3ft fall on carpet lol
Learned a ton just reading through the comments on this one! Sure does look like a nice lens. However, the active stabilization is better on the FX30 than the ZV-E10? Just wondering... I enjoy how you basically mesh together a vlog, yet a review on a lens at the same time! Well done Noi!
Thank you! I quite like this vlog actually. I think I have a pretty good formula of life vlog plus camera gear review but I get really bored really quickly. I can't do the same thing over and over for too long.
To answer your question about the FX30 vs ZV-E10's stability. I think they both have the same level of stability but because the sensor on the ZV-E10 is so old it can't handle rolling shutter thus giving that camera a visibly worse perceived stability. With the ZV-E10 I always have to run everything through catalyst but for the FX-30, I just shoot with active and I feel that it's good enough. Still shaky but I sort of like a bit of shake.
@@noisackda2564 Thanks for the clarification, I had a feeling there had to be something improved on the FX30 and you reminded me of how bad the rolling shutter is on the ZV-E10 :P
I literally bought a gimbal just to avoid having to use catalyst! Maybe I'll just have to sell all my APS-C equipment eventually and dive into Sony ZV-E1 (or ZV-E2 if that comes out...I still have a way to go to gain knowledge on the mirrorless camera side)
For now, I'm really happy with the Pocket 3 and the Action 4 combo. For me, since I don't have the camera knowledge (yet)...I should focus on the "Content"
@@TravelingAhn The pocket 3 is pretty much perfect for vloggers. I thought long and hard about it but there's something about the artifacting in low light that I feel isn't quite there yet. Plus I love color correcting so much and it still looks like the log files on dedicated cameras are still a cut above in that regard. It's getting damn close though. Maybe two years away. Then I can ditch my camera gear and roll with a small set up like a pocket 5 or something like that :P I can only dream haha.
@@noisackda2564 Well, I'll be purchasing the Pocket 5 too :P
It's hilarious how your son reached out to your phone - it's the same with my daughters at age 6 mounths and 2,5y :D
I had the Sigma 18-50mm 2.8 and loved it for it's size and image quality. But in case I would vlog I would also like you prefer the 16mm on this Sony. But yeah, that price for APS-C lens :')
They just grab grab grab don’t they? 🤣🤣🤣 Yeah the sigma at its widest 18mm is a deal breaker for me 🥲 need a bit more for vlogging
new subscriber here! what luts do you use in your videos? looks great!
nice video bro, Will this lens work well with the full frame zve1 when using dynamic active stabilization? I wondered 🤔
It should. 16mm is wide but not too wide with active we should punch right past the vignetting. If not then a 5% zoom would get rid of it I think.
Have you tried the 16-35 PZ? And if so how you like it against this one you reviewed? Cheers
I haven't, but I don' think it would out perform this lens because it's an F4 lens. Not great in low light.
I keep coming across your stuff - we’re on similar camera journey’s 😊 I just need to actually vlog once in a while.
Anyway, I was looking at the 16-55 because I find that my tamron 17-70 has a weird shake with active stabilization. It’s slight, but enough that I’m now looking at Sony native lenses.
My question:
In your footage, we’re you using active stabilization? Do you use it when you vlog on the fx30? I’m using the a6700, so very similar in terms of crop etc.
Bonus question: do you shoot everything at 60fps and edit with a 24fps timeline? Or do you just jump to 60 for slowmo? Thanks 🙏
Hey thanks for watching and commenting! I've owned a couple of Tamron lenses as well and have noticed that stability was an issue. I am using active stabe. It pretty much is the default. In regards to framerate. I shoot at 24p normally. When I shoot slo mo I'll use S&Q mode at 60fps.
@@noisackda2564 awesome, thanks! I set up my memory slots as M1-24p / M2-60p / M3-120p, might test out the s&q to see what difference is 🍻
@@justlivication Nice! S&Q is just simply higher frame rate but it previews in slow motion on the screen. I'll use that mode for all alow motion shots and 24p for vlogging essentially.
@@justlivicationso did buy the lens 16-55? how is it? i have the same camera and now saving to buy the 16-55 because tamron and sigma have lot of cons and not wide enough
I haven't - I'm still rounding out my current setup, so it's 2-3 lenses down the list.
@@Slayseal
Nice video. Good to local creators from my city. I have the Tamron 17-70 but thinking about returning it for the Sony. How is it for stabilization with built in ibis? Will I notice much of a difference from the VC in the Tamron?
Hell yeah! Canada represent! I would return the Tamron haha. I had two tamrons in the past and they were both pretty bad with stability. This Sony lens is probably the best lens you can get IMO. Every time I use it it never misses. It's really good! Premium price but worth it.
@@noisackda2564 done and done. Sony 16-55 will arrive Monday. So excited!!
@@SlammedCanada Nice! Let's go!!! Sony lens on Sony body is the way to go if you have the budget. Have fun with it.
Hi! Will it be any vignetting using this lens with sony zv e1 dynamic active stabilization without digital zoom?
Very small vignetting. You would need to do a small digital zoom. Maybe 5% I think. I can test it out later. 16mm is too wide so it might crop in naturally.
hi, I was ready to hit pay order for this lens when I suddenly came across the fact that it's not in the compatible lens list for focus breathing compensation on either the a6700 or fx30. You think that matters? I plan to use it both for photos and videos.
I'm not sensitive at all to breathing compensation. The way I used it is in it's most authentic way. I don't cut and select clips I feel look good. If you feel the footage looks good in this video then I think you will be totally fine :)
@@noisackda2564 I bought it! so far so good. Got no complaints, well aside from the weight but that's a me and my weak arms' problem. LOL
Will this be good to pair with my Sony a6000 to take photos of my paintings for art prints?
Yes it would be great for this. As with any product shot photography, just make sure you are properly lit but yes this lens is the do everything lens :) if you want something cheaper that’s similar I would go with the Sigma 18-50mm though.
@@noisackda2564 thanks for lookin out 🤙🏽🔥
Is it s cineton profile on video? Very nice color
Thank you! This is SLOG3 with a phantom lut applied :)
@@noisackda2564FX30 or 6600 ?
@@kismat_rana FX30 all the way unless you love taking pictures. Even then, FX30 haha!
Did you change your channel name? 🤔
Yes I did 🤣 My channel wasn’t supposed to be a serious channel. I was using it as a way to upload a video to show my brother in law. I just continued to post and now it has become a thing so I thought I would ditch the weird name I initially gave it. I kept it in the logo though 🤣
