Wide angle lens for the Sony ZV1?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- In this video I test out a couple wide angle converters with the Sony ZV1 to see their effect on image quality and digital stabilization. In particular I look at a wide angle conversion lens by Panasonic intended for small point and shoot cameras as well as a wide angle adapter made by Sony for their handycams in the late 90s.

I'll bet a 3rd party will come up with a simple wide angle for the zv1, just like vendors came up with WA lenses for the Osmo Pocket and Action.
I hope so. Surprised no one ever did for the RX100 series.
@@benbjurstrom hi ben, i just sent you email and would like to invite you to test ULANZI one, check link: www.amazon.com/dp/B08H8N1R6C
I love this idea
best way to vlog w this camera:
sit your arse down
have a camera on a tripod
position yourself far enough to get a pleasing composition
wait for the next version?
This is awesome!! Camera Conspiracies get on this!
This. I’ve been spamming his comments since the ZV-1 release!
I was thinking the same thing!!
He stated in one of his videos that he prefers to use a small tripod and hold it out from the face and likes that view best with the ZV1
I agree lol! Camera Conspiracies let's go lol!
That was exactly my thought
We’ve found the perfect camera ! 🎼🎼
Alright Sony. You definitely know what we want for the next version of this. We need the built in lens to be wider!!!
Wow, what a genius solution! Awesome! Greetings from Japan!
Intelligently thought process, expertly researched and practical solutions offered. If nothing else, an exemplar of problem solving. I would agree with the other poster, & your good self that a third party wa lens accessory will materialise. Hopefully too, a company will manufacture a lighter, less expensive and better selfie/support/grip mount. Nevertheless, a well produced video which deserves many views. Stay safe.😀
Just subscribed to your channel because of this video. Exactly what I have been looking for to counter the narrowness of the ZV1 lens.
Good job with your ingenuity! I wish Sony releases a mark-II with wide-angle lens next year.
Awesome video! Do you considered Ulanzi or another one designed for ZV1?
That Panasonic adapter looks fantastic!!! Sony just needs to hone up and make their own adapter that is light weight and gets us down to 20mm with active stabilization on. Thanks for the great review!
Edit!!! That Panny is EXPENSIVE!!!!! I'm going to have to pass. Right now I have the Zomei x.45 52mm so I'll see how I like it first.
Hi bud! How is it working with the Zomei? Happy with it?
I love this video
That's pretty damn impressive
is it possible setup ND filter to this product ?
LOOKS GREAT!
SIDNEY I LOVE UR VIDS, please put out more zv-1 content (even stuff like this video)
Thank you for this. Very helpful
Good stuff and explanations! Do 1 month update on this please. Does the attachment reduce the original motors or not? If it doesn't then it's game changer.
Great video. Really liking my ZV1 so far. Thank you for the heads up on the ZV-1 Small Rig.
You just save that camera for vlog ! Hope Sony or a 3rd party release a proper solution as that Panasonic lens might be difficult to find for some.
The hax everyone has been waiting for!
Literally 😁😁😁
I bought the zv 1 2 weeks later monitor just turn off...🤦♂️
Next camara 6600 lets see what happen
Can you kindly test the Panasonic Wide-Angle Lens on the ZV-1 while using Defocus and Product Showcase features?
I was hoping to see those too in this video.
This is 1 of only 2 problems with this camera. The other being microUSB. Yuck
Agreed, definitely disappointing.
YOU ARE A GENIUS!! A GENIUS I SAY!! I just bought the ZV1 and I love it bcus I didn’t want to buy a external mic and changing of lens! Just when I thought I had no other options 🙌🏽❤️
This is awesome. Thanks for sharing this. I'm just rented the Z-V1 to see if it will be my next camera.
dude with the wide angle it looks so much better!!!
Great Video! I am glad you introduce this product. I will definitely buy the product to upgrade my ZV 1. I just purchased this camera to upgrade my YT footage. I am getting tired of using my phone and i feel like it time to transition. Hopefully this will make my car photography/videography better.
You are a mad genius! I’ve watched every review from Camera Conspiracies to Jared to Phillip Bloom- everyone said the same thing, and they were right! Your footage with the wide angle was fantastic, and the audio on this thing does not suck. You single handedly could save Sony’s ass and make this truly a vloggers delight. Excellent review- I hope the brass at Sony sends you a check!
Be careful of this unsupported lens add-on accessory. My experience with sony point and shoot years ago is they have sensitive zoom motor. Mine stopped working when a sand particle got trapped in the hinge of the zoom where it extends. Just make sure the adhesive stays where it is and doesnt attract sand , dirt or debris to any part of the hinges.
You sound like you know what your saying. I just wanted to know is the ZV1 for me? Good to know lens adapter . Thanks
I have used a generic wide angle adapter on the Canon 22mm f/2 lens.
Pretty much the same results, image trashed in the corners, but it looks like an exaggerated bokeh outside the focus area.
The weight of the adapter can be an issue though. The focus motor and gears have to move almost 4 ounces or 110 grams extra weight.
You should do a follow up videos comparison of various wide angle adapter for zv1 like ulanzi etc and see which is the best
Ben, I’m still trying to find a DMW-LWA52 to buy. What about the DMW-LW52 (sans “A”)? I did find one of those available though it is VERY pricey....
yeah this is clever
i got the ulanzi wide angle adapter but it is heavy AF and its suspicious to have all that mass torquing the front of lens
looking around for other 52mm wide angle adapters but on amazon there's pretty much only "0.43x", "0.45x", and "0.35x" units all look like they came out of the same factories and are rebrands of each other. sad there's not really a good solution that is light
Hi Ben, I have the Ulanzi wide lens attached on my Sony ZV1
I am looking to sell the ZV1 now to upgrade my camera and I want to sell the ZV1 without the wide lens fitted to a camera company.
As the Ulanzi wide lens is stick on, is it possible to remove the wide lens without damaging the camera?
Or will it damaged the lens or leave a mark on it from the sticker?
Thanks Charlie
When you walked out at the part, was it handheld? I am thinking of buying a Sony ZV1 plus a Joby Telepod in order to achieve a wider background instead of tinkering the camera, but boy that was exciting.
I own a Canon G7X Mark 2 and I needed the Lensmate adapter because the original eye lids for the camera failed. Had two pop out the entire assembly and remove the jammed iris lid (yes ouch operation). But now I have a nice dust cover for the camera.
Sadly, the camera itself is getting old.
i have a interview based documentary movie project. I decided before to buy a7 iii , but it is expensive, so professional n complicated. What do you think if i will buy zv1? I planning to shoot slog. This will be my 1st movie and i will participate in festivals.
great video! , i bought the Ulanzi wide angle that comes with a Macro lens as well. I'm getting the camera and the lens tomorrow! yesss! i know, 1yr later but I'm sure that what 'im buying is legit. I saw many reviews on the ZV1 and they all state that this is an excellent camera. To me is going to be a great secondary one, since I have my a7iii with a 24mm gmaster. its just that I don't want to carry that one everywhere I go. :) thanks for sharing!
I can't help thinking that putting the camera on a selfie stick would be a better option than sticking a heavy lens attachment to a delicate lens barrel. Let's face it, unless you need the tripod option of the GP-VPT2BT grip, it doesn't really offer that much other than the movie ''go'' button.
I use the Ulanzi WL-1. Definitely a plus for the Sony ZV1.
So, maybe I didn't watch enough, but how does the wide angle lens work WiTH the design of the normal lens to project out when the camera is on? You talked abuot stress on the motor.... I dont understand how the wide angle lens works ...on top of the normal lens? Does the normal lens NOT telescope out from the body somehow? Thanks
My ZV1 arrives tomorrow 👍
Is the Panasonic adapter you used the the one works the best? I couldn’t find the same converter available anywhere. However I’m reluctant to use wide converters made by small companies and manufacturers like those you would find on amazon. Is there another converter preferably from Panasonic that you know would work similarly well? Please help
I just recorded my sons first video on the Sony ZV1 for Goetz Vlogs and we used the Ulanzi wide angle and the product show case was amaaaaazing
Im looking for that 1st lens you used, but sadly, cannot find one available.
If you know where else I can look, please let me know.
Thanks!
This video was super helpful! I also wanted to ask, what type of studio lighting are you using?
This Panasonic lens is no where to be found. I looked everywhere.
Why didn’t you buy the Ulanzi W-1 wide angle attachment as it looks a lot more compact.
This is a very weird thing to do. Adding so much weight. If you want to be wider might as well use a selfie stick?
a very good inspiration when in other must have lens only have one choice (ulanzi wide angle lens) which allow me to have a comparison.
Jist use selfie stick.
There is another light weight wide angle lens - I will try to find it again...
Right now lensmate have a set specific for zv-1
Hi so good job My Friend New
Nice and Like 947 to good video for you.
Dude awesome real pro lens thanks for the idea!
Interesting result. The video looks clear in the middle. If you're after a wider view of you, why not use a longer selfie stick (monopod).
You certainly could. But given the choice between packing a selfie stick or packing a wide angle converter I think I'd rather pack the lens.
@@benbjurstrom The problem I'd worry about is it may eventually damage the camera since it's heavy. I was thinking something like this little tripod:
www.amazon.com/ULANZI-Extension-Samsung-Smartphone-Vlogging/dp/B07ZPS47VC/ref=sr_1_16?dchild=1&keywords=mini+tripod+for+mirrorless+camera&qid=1593004796&sr=8-16
Great video.. very helpful
I love the idea of calling out rig manufacturers to create such mount and a tube. Cheers. great content. 😎
Why not just get a different camera?
Can you mount an extra nd-filter on this lens?
better buy selfiestick xd
I love your video but im gonna say something. This is not directed to you specifically but reviewers in general. I'm so annoyed by reviewers who always end up making simple and perfect cameras complicated by adding stuff to make them "more perfect". Like a lot of them keep complaining abt having more simple set ups, but when camera companies actually deliver that, they be like lets add stuff to them to make them bulkier! I'm a professional fashion photographer and let me say is Sony ZV-1 is perfect, all things considered. It ain't cinematic camera so lets stop trying to make it as such.
Definitely agree that there’s value in keeping things simple and it’s why I bought the ZV-1. With its improved microphone, digital stabilization, better colors, and built in ND I can grab quick clips without worrying about attaching an external microphone, a gimbal, ND filters, or needing to color grade in post. Just wish that lens was a little wider.
Hey fuzzy,
I understand where you are coming from remember that just because It's perfect for you doesn't mean it's perfect for everyone. Considering Sony geared it towards vloggers and they seem to be the ones who are primarily complaining about the focal length, it's safe to say they missed the mark in that area. With that as the backdrop, it's refreshing to see a reviewer offering a solution to the problem instead of just complaining.
Also remember that the alternative to finding a hack is Sony changes the entire camera... so from your perspective (being someone who has found their perfect camera) I would think that these DIY solutions would be good for you.
Does the product showcase feature work with the wide lens?
Hello Ray, I can not confirm it for the Panasonic model, but in my video on the Zomei’s sadly the product showcase mode didn’t work... I hope this helps. Cheers from London, C
The motor in this camera is not designed for excess weight ... it will certainly shorten its life .... not sure if it is a good idea to overload the motor with excess weight ... I think the camera manufacturer will agree with me.
That may be a reasonable conjecture, but nonetheless conjecture. Unless you were the engineer who picked that motor, you really don't know how much headroom there is.
Do you even know if its a motor or if its done by ultrasound, like many modern lens assemblies?
We don't know and Sony won't likely tell us. And this 'not-wide-enough' lens may just work in Sony's favor, giving people reason to upgrade to the RX100VIII, when it comes out. Maybe they'll actually spend the money to change this lens from 24-70 mm to 18-55 mm or some such.
Thank you so much for sharing sir
Still not wide enough
The ulanzi kit is much easier
Wow! This is cool 👌👍
I have been watching videos about this wide angle lens options all day! I'm glad I found your video. The only issue is I have a very small recording space. Do you think if the Sony ZV1 can capture a 145 inch wide shot from 63 inches away with the wide angle lens?
This was so thorough. Your suggestion for the cage is top notch and I'd 100% buy that. Got my ZV1 yesterday and its truly the procrastinators dream. No excuses, just filming. The wide angle lens will be a definite addition.
Great review. I tried it with the wide angle lens and didn’t find it any good. The original lens and the camera ergonomics it self are a great piece of kit for vlogging straight away
Thanks for the video! Results still are quite good. Only wish you also showed native 24mm view without IS to compare. How much are the accessories you mentioned?
after watching your video on the panasonic adapter I found another one online. only able to purchase on ebay or alibaba express which is the Zomei "ultra thin" wide angle 0.43x. Roughly $25 and is has a slimmer profile as it's just 1 glass element that looks like a simple glass magnifier.
is this also work on g7x Mark ii?
Ha! Might try the wide-angle adapter for the Ricoh GR II or III. They are made for 28mm equ. (= active stabilization) and an APS-C sensor. They would be sharp as hell.
love your comments and experiments! it's so true and straight forward
Really helpful. I have the Panasonic LX-3 and the lens adapter. Am considering the ZV-1 but was apprehensive about the wide end. This is a good compromise.
Use a longer selfie stick, or a gimble, or wait just for the ZV1 ii LOL
I love the camera !!!😍 hope i can buy this soon .i want to use for my vlogs 😪
What camera do you use ?
Thanks for doing this video. It is an interesting idea. (Now all of those Panasonic conversion lenses are going to be instantly snatched up off of Ebay 😉). Not being snarky: wouldn’t simply using a selfie stick be easier?
Unfortunately, this item (Panasonic Wide Angle Conversion Lens) is no longer available on Amazon.
Thanks for effort and sharing it with us. If enough people complain about it, Sony will probably replace the lens to 20mm or even wider on the next iteration.
By the way, what brand is that wrist strap?
wondering if you can use the vlog handhold...and a wireless mic at the same time. i bought the vlog accessories and also bought the picomic and was hoping to use them both if possible.
great video a MUST HAVE!!!! quality is great! thanks
@ben bjurstrom does the autofocus work when zoomed into 70mm? I purchased a different wide angle and noticed focus will zoom doesn't work at all.
Top notch video...👍👍👍... There’s hope yet for this camera.... You did a brilliant job with this video..... Great content 👍👍👍
Resourceful video and clever. Unfortunately none of the items you linked are on Amazon any more. Can you update the links with sites where we can purchase items.
Interesting, but it's kind of hassle. Why don't you use just long selfie stick.that cheaper option.
Very cool stuff, thanks for researching this!
Nice, and I thought the one I reviewed was decent. Your mode is much better
I wish u get more subs dude! Nice video. Im from indonesia, fyi😁
Great job, seriously it's innovators like you that solve problems for us/me. Stoked!
Please price of lens
Look great but £300. 😱I’m sure third parties will add some for it ASAP
Amazon is sold out of the wide angle lens. Do you have any idea where else we might find this? Great idea if we can get it to work.
clever man so this camera can be made to my liking i think. Im using a go pro 8 wanting one for non motorcycle related content
Thanks for the video. I have the LX-3 and a similar adapter which I used with UV and ND filters for outdoor shots.
Hopefully they make lenses for the ZV-1 similar to the ones they made for the DJI Osmo Pocket. The lens on the ZV-1 is small anyway and isn't round similar to the Osmo Pocket.
Im surprised you mentioned the LX5. I wanted to own that but glad I waited for the LX7.
