The world is bizarre, this is a person who makes honest, professional, and unique videos content. He has less than 1M Subs in 13 years. And there are some dudes out there who make videos to say nonsense such as "how to make $10000 in 10 minutes by doing nothing", and they gain Millions of views and subs. You're just the best and most unique content creator I love to watch regarding cameras and lenses. Thanks for all day's help, Kaleb.
Yeah... I remember Caleb back in the days, when I've bought my Canon 550D (Rebel T2i) in 2010...
Facts 🔥
Honestly! Dude is a treasure
That’s how it is now unfortunately, the promotion of talentless people .... good job with your channel , we appreciate you!
I've had the pleasure of meeting him. He's as good in person as on the TH-cam!
All these lenses will now be out of stock 😂
I have the 30mm 1.4
The value in those videos is insane. Every time you release a video it seems like it influences the indie beginner trend. Thanks for the work you put in those.
The 16mm f/1.4 is probably the greatest lens I have ever owned. That 7Artisian line-up looks amazing too!!
would love to see an episode on using broadcast glass for cinema some time, the idea of being able to do super fast crash zooms with the parfocal constant sharpness would be really interesting, and the wide zoom ranges would be really convenient for people who prefer few high quality lenses over many cheaper lenses.
FX30 is my new cinema camera and I love it! Can't wait for more FX30 content. It's the most underrated camera right now! I am gonna pick up the 7artisans!
I just bought my FX30 yesterday and found your channel and video - so freaking helpful! Already scored a Sigma 16mm f1.4 and I'm checking in the MF lenses. Thank you for making the effort to put together a no-nonsense, easy to follow video that is clear, concise and valuable. L&S
It never fails, anytime I need info on something, you deliver.
I have the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 for my FX30, which works great. I also have the Viltrox 24mm f/1.8, which works perfectly with the A7iv and FX30. It seems the f/1.4 version is the one with problems. The 23mm f/1.8 has no focusing issues at all. In fact, very quick and accurate.
That Sigma 18-55mm f/2.8 looks like a winner. And the Viltrox Cine lenses look great.
Thanks for this video. It really helped me make some important decisions on lenses for my FX30.
You legend. Was literally doing up a list of lenses for the fx30 and you saved me the hassle with this phenomenal video. Great job
Caleb, I just really look forward to your content! It's hype-less, hyper-real, usable, actionable content that helps semi-newbies like myself each and every day. Thanks! While I'm pondering an FX30, I also own an A7IV. Have you produced a similar video for 'budget video lenses' for Sony full-frames? That T1.05 is SICK!!!! Thanks!
great collection of lenses to tell some stories with!
Much thanks for sharing!
Great compilation review of varieties of lenses. more power!!!!
So grateful for this quality and informative content ❤
Just got an fx30 and I can't wait for your guide. Great video as always
So grateful you covered the cine lenses, been considering the viltrox to ho with my a6400 cine rig upgrade 🙏
my favourite for the FX30 is the sigma 18-50mm as well. Can't beat that form factor and bang for your buck!
Hi, I love your work ! Don't you regret a full frame for your TH-cam head talk, especially wide shoot (for my channel i'm using a 20mm) ? I have an A7SIII, wich is great, but I've a trip this year and I may take a lot of photos and I'm bit afraid to be limited by the 12Mpx sensor. So I'm thinking about switching my A7SIII and A6400 for an FX30 + a dedicated photography camera. What's your opinion on that ? Thx !
@@random_dev Go for Fuji X-H2s or even X-H2 , they are both fantastic hybrid cams, all the Sigma , Tamron and Viltrox Apsc lenses are available for Fuji as well , If you are more in to Filmmaking X-H2s is the way to go (26 mp stacked sensor ,6.2 30 p , 4k 120 , great for Photography also ) and if you want a Photography first camera and amazing in filmmaking y , X-H2 is the way to go ( 8K 30 , 40 mp Sensor ) .
Wow! Thanks for such a detailed video!
Such a great review Caleb...thank you!!!
I really appreciated this video man thank you. I got tremendous value from it. Thanks from the Bahamas.
This video is absolutely amazing! Thankyou
Amazing video, you made my decision easy. I’m going with the viltrox set for my fx3
Excellent information for lenses I would've probably never found otherwise. Thank you!
Thanks for the nice video and overview. I think the new Sony 11mm f1.8 is also worth mentioning at around USD 500. Great little and sharp auto-focussing lens, and is compatible with the focus breathing compensation in the FX30 (as is the much more expensive Sony 15mm f1.4 G). For video, I also really like the Sony 35mm f1.8.
I JUST bought the sigma 18-50. Arrived Saturday. Haven't gotten to use it yet but im SUPER excited about it.
So many lenses! Damn mate, good job reviewing! Worth every penny - video value is insane!
The sigma 18-50mm is all that I use. Believe the hype, it’s an absolute game changer
is a zoom lens really that ideal for film making... wouldn't primes be the best option
@@SEANLIGHTZTV not necessarily. It depends on what you’re making and your budget. That’s also why cine zooms exist, and why they have a constant aputure
I recently made my (older) black magic production 4k handheld rig using your rig guides. Thanks so much!
As someone whose new to cameras and considering the fx30 as a camera I really appreciate this video
This was a great video!!! Thank you for this info
Caleb is always bringing the heat. I never knew about that Viltrox 13mm. That's an interesting one. I own 17-70 tamron and love it, and I own all 3 Sigma primes and equally love those as well. I can't believe how inexpensive they are considering the quality. Also, I really like your set and how you film your product shots. Top Tier work as always.
Man, I am between sigma 18-50 and tamron 17-70, do you think the tamron is the way to go? Has there been any time when you think it is too heavy or big?
@@ElMeach im a little late but I'm gonna get the tamron for the stablization. I'm gonna use it to replace my a6400's kitlens. i have a canon 70-200 L that i use for wildlife and having no stablization makes it barely usable for handheld video.
So if you don't have IBIS get the tamron.If you're just doing photos, get the sigma since it's sharper all around.
For weight, I prefer big lenses because the a6400's tiny. Usually I bring the my Canon 70-200 L, the kit lens, and a 25 and 35 manual meike lens out on shoots. It's okay for me since i have a backpack.
@@alvin5122 thanks! Not late at all, I am waiting till May. I have 3 apsc e-mount cameras, just one with IBIS, I do photo and video so I think I will buy the tamron cause I'd rather be prepared than fall short at something.
Absolutely great video thank you very much Caleb
These reviews are amazing, thank you for that and all these great videos.
I know this channel is focused on all things video, but is there a chance of content like this about lenses for photos as well? That would also be incredibly useful.
What an awesome Video! Thank you a lot. Not even for FX30 but for my a7iii this Video is amazing
Nice low budget options here.
I'm studying all low budget options for my xt4 rig. I have a Mitakon 35mm .95 and my analog Pentax lenses + a very good Pentax zoom for APSC but I always come across tiny problems like small diameter, too compact or that extending barrel, all those could in the near future cause issues like the inability to mount a follow focus, or a matte box. So I think one needs to think about those points not to have to buy lenses twice because there is an issue down the line.
TTArtisan 17mm are my fav. so far!
love this lens
especially that clicky sfx!!!
Great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love your work keep them coming!!!!!!!!!!!
Genuinely an amazing video! Thank you so much for the insights! I know TTArtisan released some Auto Focus lenses now but I do still love their 35mm MF F.14 lens!
I have an FX30 with the sigma 18-50 and OMG is it ever a great combo !!!
Ohh man. You made the video I was looking for. I was so longing for something like this where someone covered all the lenses for the nice FX30 and they are cheap.
This is 👍!!
Brilliant info. Very helpful:)
Another line to consider is the Rokinon/Samyang Cine AF line. Kind of gives you the best of both worlds. The AF is great, and the focus pull on the lens is super smooth and long like a proper cine lens.
Nice set of options! Great job on the video. I'm also partial to the Sigma 16mm f/1.4. Actually editing a video right now where I used it for photos at a local Japanese garden. 😄 Though, in my case on Canon EF-M. At least on EF-M the Viltrox autofocus trio (23,33, & 56) were fixed of autofocus issues through firmware as far as I could tell, though they don't work well in auto-exposure situations.
Very informative video, thank you brother 🙏
Great video ❤love it
Thanks, that was great. I use some of these lenses on my FS-700R and ZV-E10
We need a Fx3 budget lens video !!!
Thanks for all your content
There can be a bit of gear gatekeeping in photography/cinematography. Mostly just out of buyer's remorse that modern budget $500 lenses can compete so closely with lenses costing 10x more.
Don't be afraid of budget lenses. They are often shockingly good. I've got an 85mm Rokinon cine that has absolutely no business being as tack sharp as it is.
Get a budget wide angle and 50mm (or zoom) and you're off to the races.with next-level production value.
Thanks a lot. Great selection.
Awesome comparison dude.
nice compact and budget lens!
Dang! Great video Caleb! Makes me want to switch from my A7siii and go Super35!
Thanks for the video. You seem to have left out the Sigma 18-35 1.8 with MC11 adaptor. Great AF performance in video mode and 1.8 constant aperture internal zoom lens (great for using on rigs with mattebox ) and with fantastic IQ.
Also, Sonys clear image zoom makes it a 18-52mm f1.8! 😉
I love how the 17, 23, & 35 1.4 tt artisans lenses are consistent in color and flaring.
I have the Tamron 17-70 on my FX30. I personally like the larger size, however it’s still a fairly small lens. It just looks a lot bigger when it’s side by side with the Sigma. I think the Tamron is worth it for the extra reach, especially if you shoot interviews frequently. 70mm at 2.8 gives a very nice look. Another lens worth considering is the Tamron 11-20mm 2.8. It’s a great compliment to the 17-70. And of course, there’s the Tamron 70-180, which I’d like to get in order to cover the full range.
he has autofocus or you need to use it with manual focus? (maybe he has both btw idk can you tell me if this is the case)
You just sold me, Im buying the 17-70mm!!!
That is a GREAT video with really (finally) budget suggestions!
It would be great if you could do a similar video for Sony FF cameras and the Lumix FF cameras. I bet with the launch of S5ii many people (like me) are looking for such videos :P
I do like my vintage Canon FD's. Good to know about the 7artisans.
Really great guide! I think the Sigma18-50mm should get me going and i'll save the Viltrox lenses for later. 😁
GREAT VIDEO, THANKS
The Sony 18-105 f4 is amazing as well for consistent video shooting. That plus the Sigma 16mm are my go-to's
I agree. I’ve been pairing the 18-105mm f4 with the FX30 for the last month. It’s great.
@@ZulqarnainAidil is that one good for cinematic video´s?
@@Justin-ox9rq if you’re asking about the lens, it’s serviceable. Quite a bit of focus breathing so use that crop thing if you’ve got them. Not gonna recommend manual focusing though. Just remember this is a hybrid do it all lens optimised for auto focusing.
i just bought the viltrox 23 for my webcam a6000, with the lights in my background it looks really nice with the slight, smooth flaring, oh and they have metal lens hoods
THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING!!!!!!
I LOVE THIS!!!
honestly saved me some time with this video fr fr cause i'm still thinking bout upgrading too
Love this ... thanks so much ... So what do you think of the FX30? Would you use it for Pro Work?
I love your contents. 🤗❤
Any plans on creating a False Color LUT for the FX30? That would be a game changer ! Definitely would purchase it.
Great idea for a video, very helpful too! Have you done this for MFT I wonder?
Great video! I’d love to hear if you have any suggestions for budget full frame lenses adapted with speedbooster and pros/cons going that route vs apsc lenses
Right now I use my Tamron 11-20 f/2.8 on my FX30, I also have a Tamron 18-300 but never tried the 17-70. I own a Sigma 30 but never tried it on the FX30, I used it on the a6600 a couple of times but not for a while. I would like to pick up a couple more lenses soon. I might grab that Sigma 18-50 to use on one of my cameras.
Thank you so much for your good work 👏
Can you make a video of these lenses in real time video shoot please?
Thank you!
you're the best mate
love this camera. i've been using the viltrox 33mm f1.4 A LOT. I haven't had that AF flicker.. i wonder what that's about.
Interesting! Really wanted those primes to work because they are mad cheap but all 3 did that for me. Firmware update didn't do anything either. Regardless. FX30 is a special kind of happiness.
My viltrox 23 1.4 flickers like that on my newly acquired fx30, but it never did on the a6400. Used for a year on the a6400 with no issues, can't record 30 seconds on the fx30 with it without getting it. It's actually quite annoying as I love that little lens but it doesn't seem to play well with the fx30.
Nevermind, an update to the latest lens firmware fixed it.
@@kistovisback so is it working consistently good for you after the firmware update? Thinking about getting one of these but I want to make sure the issue was fixed
@@ozobuki Yes, no more focus flicker problems after that, all good now
For my FX30, I have the samyang 12 f2, the viltrox 23 1.4, the tamron 17-70 2.8 and the 7artisans 35 0.95
Love my 7artisans vision lenses. They’re a lot of fun. This morning I paired them with my Sirui 1.25 adapter and my oh my does it go bonkers on distortion and focus fall off
When it comes to Image quality, do you prefer the sigma 18-50 over the Tamron 17-70? Does the VC in the Tamron does team up with the IBIS or is there no difference?
I bought the 17-70 back in my a6400 days, as the camera doesn't have IBIS. I'm wondering if the 18-50 would be a good trade for my 17-70.
Great video... Have you notice you can't use the automatic mode for IRIS on the FX30 with de 13mm Viltrox.
Kaleb thanks for the vid brother. getting ready to grab your FX30 guide. I am currently running the tamron 17-70 and i love it. but i would like to get a cinema lens or two. Which cinema lens or lenses would you personally use for professional work? Curious for short films docs etc..
I have the FX30 the sigma trio 16,45,56 all work great. The Tamron 75-180 works great. However, focus breathing not supported. One of the Zoom features not supported...cant remember which. But the Digital Zoom works, I think it is the optical zoom that does not work but I would have to check.
excellent video
@@dslrvideoshooterofficial this is for real or a scam account ? what telegram ?
Such a travesty that no one seems to be talking about the Tokina 11-18 f/2.8 I canceled my sigma 18-50 order for it and I'm blown away..... It's excellent
I want them all 🤣. I have the sigma 30 and 16. The 30mm f1.4 is my go to lens
Great video, is there similar options for EF mount, thinking about the flexibility when adapting to more mounts
Was the firmware of all the Viltrox lenses the same? You said the ‘older’ lenses struggled with AF but I’m wondering if updating the firmware of the older lenses would bring the AF performance up to the newer 13mm level?
Wow this was so informative, I would love to see a video like this for full frame Sony lenses. I also wanted to confirm that all of these lenses could be compatible with the a7iv when it's in super 35 mode right?
Yes
Have you tested anything longer in zoom lenses? I really need something around 200, but cannot afford the Sony lenses and don’t have experience with many other affordable brands.
When I was looking for a test shots of an old DSLR on vimeo, Sony a77II, I came across with one of your videos there. You had hair. Oh, good old days...
I'm going to watch a good video!
thank you!
If you could only get one focal length cinema lens, which would you recommend? I do general videography so events, music videos, commercial etc. Thanks!
Caleb! I’m hoping to grab a. Video camera for travel, mini work docs for teaching and sports. Recommend this body?
Whats with the white Red and set pieces? They're very cool and always a great addition to your scenes
Nice! Might have to pick up that 13mm Viltrox. What’s the top rail? The spacing is so funky, I’ve had a hard time finding the right nato rail that doesn’t require grinding
It's a Falcam (Ulanzi) f22 5 position plate, you can get them on B&H now, Amazon has yet to carry them but the line is relatively new.
The Viltrox only struggles on very close objects. Updating to the a74 firmware helped
I would love to see some AF tests with the Viltrox in video mode and the focus speed set to slow. Showing a person walking toward and away from the camera slowly. Most lenses I’ve seen from Viltrox, while they may keep the subject relatively in focus, show noticeable pulsing in the out of focus areas.
@@antone9751 I have no issues with it. Bought it for 200€. It’s my main lens because is so sharp and has it’s own character. That scenario is not going to happen in real life. Autofocus is a tool. What makes it great on the Sony’s is that it is reliable, not that is perfect. You still need to be on top of things. Even with the best lenses, you need shortcuts to disengage It, to change it’s mode or speed etc. and need to be ready to go manually any time. Watch Philip Bloom talk about it. Of course it’s not going to be as good as a 1400€ GM lens.
hey..how much better in lower light is the Sigma 18-50mm f2,8 compared to a Sony 18-105mm f4? Will it make a HUGE difference or just a bit? worth buying it If I already own the 18-105mm f4? I have the Sigma 16mm and 30mm f1.4 but I would prefer NOT to change lenses in the middle of longer recording (like a wedding ceremony). I would love to own some cinema lenses! It would make my FX30 look great!
Hello Dslr videoshooter, thank you for making these videos. I recently brought a sony preowned a5100. Are affordable manual lenses worth it to start with? Im thinking of picking up a 24 or 35 mm ttartisan
Why oh why did you not talk about the Tamron 11-20? LOL I'm in trying to find information about that lens for video especially on the FX 30 which is what I'm shooting with. I'm really intrigued by a lot of the lenses you mentioned today. The big problem I'm having with the Sony aps-c line is that there isn't many options for any wide-angle zoom that is quite enough for vlogging with an aperture low enough for indoors. The 11 to 20 seems to be really the only option these days, but nobody's talking about it for video or fx30. As intriguing as all of these lenses are and that they have great prices. As far as I can see there's nothing any wider than that 16 mm sigma. And I have the 16-55 Sony which is a brilliant lens but not quite wide enough for many vlogging situations.
If you were going to start from scratch doing on-the-road podcast production with the FX30, what would be the go-to lenses you'd start with...I need two sets, possibly three (single, single, 2shot wide)?
I've ordered the tamron 17-70, replacing the sigma 24-70 art full frame lens.
I use the first 3 VILTROX primes on Fuji, but never had those issues with AF.
I'm thinking about getting the fx30. Should I get the sigma trio or sigma 18-50?
