For my current video kit I have the Sony 10-20mm, 20-70mm and 70-200mm lenses. They're all 'G' series and are f4. Having the same 'G' series lenses means that lens characteristics are the same between all three lenses. No color shifts or other lens anomalies show up between these lenses. Having consistency with lenses is important for any project. On a typical video shoot my 𝛼6700 will be set up on the gimbal with the 10-20mm. My FX30 will be on sticks with either of the longer lenses. This set up works great for the doc style shoots I tend to do. Being able to quickly transition between the wide gimbal and the telephoto tripod helps insure that a "moment" is not lost. Anyway, all three lenses are great. The 20-70mm and 70-200mm lenses are super sharp and have great bokeh. The 70-200mm is also a macro. I've been blown away with being able to do precise focus rolls in macro using the awesome focus system on these Sony cameras. Needless to say, I've been very happy with these three lenses. I guess my clients have been happy with 'em as well...they keep hiring me back!
I have the Tamron 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 DI III-A VC VXD and it has so much versatility it is unbelievable. Low light at high shutter speeds are its only weakness, but that is why I have fast primes. If I could only have one lens paired with my a6700 it would be the 18-300mm Tamron.
I think further explanation is necessary especially for beginners. I for example switched from zooms to primes and couldn’t be happier. Maybe title it as the best zooms? 🤔
im tight budget and was looking at the sony 18-105mm f4 OSS since i use a sony a5100 for photography. I like to do wildlife and portrait but dont have the budget for 2 primes with OSS
There’s a very good chance you don’t need the stabilisation. As a general rule of thumb, take whatever the mm size of the lens is, double it and make that your shutter speed. Unless you have an especially unsteady grip that should give you good clear images without any need for IBIS or OSS.
I never used 3rd party primes until I purchased my Sigma 16mm f1.4. Effectively, a 24mm lens on a 2/3 APSC camera. For me, the perspective is perfect. I use it for family gatherings, parties, street photography, etc. I do need a mid-range zoom, so one of the lenses reviewed may be my next buy?
I own the sigma 18-50 f2.8 e mount which i use on my Sony A6600. It is a cracking little lens, and I like so much i am going to buy the RF mount version for my Canon R7 !
@David-o2l3z yes, I tried different combonations. The problem is when I walk, it shakes a lot. Gyroflow is able to stabilize video but crop is pretty big.
@@sosen22 yep, a gimbal is a must. With walking its the micro jitters that kills the footage, even with IBIS or lens stabilzation. This is where a gimbal is a must. Have a watch of this ua-cam.com/video/5_qgg8czh7Q/v-deo.htmlsi=2bblbnCcbgykZ4wq
Thank you for the video. While I mostly shoot full frame lenses and bodies I have these three lenses as my zooms on my APS-C A6700. The Sigma were chosen for their light weight and image quality. Then I have three primes I also use on my A6700. Very straight forward video and I like your video on the Sigma 10-18mm DC DN. Take care.
How about a video on APS-C primes for the A6700. Need a great prime in the 23-35mm range that will give me a 35-50mm focal full frame focal range. I already own the Sony E 15/1.4 G for the wider angles. Any recommendations?
Hi, I learned a lot from the videos on this channel, is there a significant difference in the perspective of a person's face for portraits, when we use a special APS-C lens compared to using a full-frame lens on the A6700?
Great question, and the simple answer is no. As long as you take into account the 1.5 crop ratio of an APSC lens in both the focal length and Aperture, then you will not notice hardly any difference. Hope this helps.
@@TheCameraManReviews thnks for the answer man, maybe one day I want to try the a7c2, so I can invest in choosing a full frame camera first to use on the 6700, tq so much 🙏🏻
@@balasbudi Think of the extraordinairy picture quality with the new generation of cell phones. That's mean the smaller will get better and better quality in APS-C or 4/3 format. They are already professional quality.
1:30 Hi, mind sharing where you got that lens hood? It doesn't look like the official hood that comes with the Sigma 18-50 and this one looks quite cool
Hi Yes, this one in the video is the Tilta cage for the Sony a6700. I have not reviewed this yet on the channel, but I have reviewed 2 others which can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/o_-Ly4HW5Gk/v-deo.htmlsi=xX6Ct6C6l0AKtihu ua-cam.com/video/yeN_N2n1BqE/v-deo.htmlsi=BJy6T53sRcroBgaE
very nice video. You don't talk shit like other youtubers, like "anamorphic is essential lens with this camera" or a lot of unusefull primes; becouse, the TRUE is (for videography) prime lens are usless and the 2.8 it's what you need. So, very usefull video, 3 lens and you can do everything !
@@TheCameraManReviews but i wanna ask you something. You huse this lens for professional work? the quality and the autofocus are good enoght compered to sony ones? i hafe the fx30 and i try to test a lot of lens, the sigma i'ts the last one but for quality and performance i really dont know.
I have both as well and the Sony is so much better than the Sigma in every way - sharpness, focal range, IBIS performance, etc. The only benefit to the Sigma is the size and weight, but it's not like the 16-55 is massive so it's well worth the trade-off. Sony cameras work best - especially in video mode - with Sony lenses.
If you have to say that you "think all the other cameras had 24mega pixel" then obviously your making stuff up. did you really own the a6500, how long did you own & use it for.....?????
and I like the Yongnuo 11mm f/1.8 - a gorgeous lens for ridiculous money, this video was shot on a 6700 + Yongnuo 11mm f/1.8: ua-cam.com/video/zFSAPjeZPw4/v-deo.html
I agree with the Sigma 10-18mm f2.8 and the Sony 70-350mm f4.5-6.3 G OSS but I disagree with the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 DC DN. The Sony 16-55M f2.8 G is a much more complete lens than the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 DC DN. better sharpness better focus, better construction, better sealing better focal range. The only advantage of the Sigma is the size/weight and price, which is obviously a very important reason for many colleagues.
Zoom lenses can never be the "best" ! I will say 3 of theses Lenses: Venus Optics Laowa 9mm 2.8 Zero-D, ZEISS Touit Distagon 12mm 2.8 T*, Sony 15mm 1.4 G, Sigma 23mm 1.4 DC DN Contemporary, ZEISS Touit 50mm 2.8 Macro, Sigma 56mm 1.4 DC DN Contemporary, Venus Optic Laowa 65mm 2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO, do not forget full frame Lenses, there are many very compact and light weight full frame Lenses, fx the excellent SONY ZEISS Sonnar 55mm 1.8 T’*ZA which can be found very cheap used !
Naw... list is way off. From widest to tightest FL, the best lenses would go... 1. Sony 11mm F1.8 (or Sigma 10-18mm f2.8 for zoom) 2. Tamron 17-70 f2.8 3. Sigma 70-200 f2.8 (or Sony 70-350 f4.5-6.3 for budget/range)
@@TheCameraManReviews Viltrox 27mm F1.2, or the cheap version: Viltrox 23mm f1.4 Sony 11mm for vloggers or 16mm for the standard cinema wide (24mm equiv) Sony 100mm OSS zoom lens, constant aperture, if you need a zoom, its nice..
My favorite lenses for my a6700 is the Tamron 17-70mm f2.8 and the Sony 15mm f1.4.
I agree on the Tamron. An excellent combination. I have the Samyang 12mm f2.0

Yes a fantastic and versatile lens! The only reason it never made the list was the variable aperture.
I think further explanation is necessary especially for beginners. I for example switched from zooms to primes and couldn’t be happier. Maybe title it as the best zooms? 🤔

Most helpful! New to the Sony landscape coming from Nikon...
Greatly appreciated!!!😊
Glad it was helpful!
I have the two Sigmas on my 6700 and they are excellent.
I went with Tamron Lenses. 11-20, 17-70, & 70-180 full frame. Great for photos and videos.
That is a nice set-up^

Perfect for photography, the Sigma 18-50 is a no-go for video on the A6700 due to its lack of stabilisation. Built-in IBIS doesn't work well with it.
Have you tried turning on Active Steady Shot in addition to having IBIS on?
@David-o2l3z yes, I tried different combonations. The problem is when I walk, it shakes a lot. Gyroflow is able to stabilize video but crop is pretty big.
Yeah walking, you will need a gimbal
@@TheCameraManReviews is it the same for the Sony KIT lenses with a built in stabilisation?

The 70-350 is insanely sharp for a telephoto zoom....almost prime lens level sharpness
Thanks for comment…this is one lens I have my eye on… after your comment, I guess I will buy this… when it’s on special again.

Sony 16 -55mm 2.8 best 😊
I love the 70-350 and the Viltrox 75 1.2, for wide angle 1 use the Sony 11 1.8 and the Viltrox 13 1.4 (astro)
