Great video, I used to shoot a ton of photo/video real estate stuff with a Sigma 10-20 and a D200. Looking to get back into it after a decade or so with my Sony A73, I was considering the 12-24 GM but this 14mm with 1.8 and at about half the price seems to make lot more sense.
I have the Sony 14mm 1.8 GM Lens. I use it for Landscape, Night sky, Nature, City/Street/Urban Photography. The Sony 14mm 1.8 GM is an excellent Lens, but it is not for everyone, it can be hard to handle such an ultra wide angle Lens. I would like a more compact fx 15mm 2.8 manual focusing Lens, then it would be packed more often into my bag !
Yeah, that's a steal. I definitely have my lazy days where I don't want to swap lenses, but yeah most of the time you want to change focal length for those detail shots
Yea it’s the nisi 100 filter holder for Sony 14mm www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1674997-REG/nisi_nip_100_sony14_100mm_filter_holder_for.html?ap=y&smp=y&msclkid=b3411390a65812d5369a76bdcd319217
What’s the use case? For real estate I’d personally go 12-24. I think you’d be happier with the versatliity of the 12-24. 14mm def is more of a niche/specialty lens
What made you choose this lens over one of the 12-24's? Since you're shooting indoors and have limited room to back up, do you ever feel like 12mm would be better for you?
Price was the biggest factor for me! I would love to use the 12-24 though :) I’ve found the 14mm has been wide enough for my real estate shooting, even super small spaces like hallway baths/closets have been easy to capture
What other lenses would you recommend other than the 16-35 pz? I want a 14 but not being able to use my screw on filter that I paid a lot for is turning me off it.
@@dclifton around the same price as the 16-35 I was looking at the Laowa 15 f2 but it's a manual lens then I saw the new viltrox 16 f1.8 but that's 16 and I'm worried it's not wide enough. I do own the voigtlander 15mm f4.5 and it's doing it's job for now( it also doesn't take filters) but it's also a manual lens and it's only good for architecture. 16 to 35 might be the best option as you said.
Yeah, I would personally sacrifice the extra 2mm to go with the convenience the 16-35 offers. It's plenty wide. I uploaded a video I shot with the 16-35 if you want to see how wide it can go for real estate. th-cam.com/video/mUCMMe_gYSc/w-d-xo.html @@thearabicdp
The Tamron 17-28 is great except from 17-20, where the distortion is really bad. I have it and it’s kinda become unusable for me, when I need a ultra wide I need 17-20 and it’s so weak n this area for photos from 19 to 28 it’s great, but it’s so easy to crank it all the way over to 17
A CV12 is a much lighter, much cheaper lens that's not as bright but ypu dont want shallow dof for this use case. That cheap kicker light to your right is doing nothing.

Thanks man. I needed this video. Just subbed. and just ordered this lens because of your review hitting all the points I needed.
Appreciate the comment, glad I could help! Comments like this make me want put more videos out
great and informative video!
I have no knowledge about Camera, but I like your video, subscribed it.
What lens are you using in this video to film yourself? THANK YOU!!!
I used the Sony 14mm to film this one!
Will you do a comparison video of best lenses for real estate video?
Definitely!! I’ll get that on my list of videos to make
Thank you!
Nice video (enjoyed the B-roll).
thank you! i appreciate it
picked one up new for $999, can't beat that deal imo, I have a ton more lenses to supplement it though, can't imagine only shooting this wide...
Yeah, that's a steal. I definitely have my lazy days where I don't want to swap lenses, but yeah most of the time you want to change focal length for those detail shots
I have another question for you, if what you looking for is the best quality, will you still use this lens?
Great vid. Loved it!
Thanks so much!
Nice and helpful! Could you tell me the product to rig up infront of this lens?!
Yea it’s the nisi 100 filter holder for Sony 14mm

Nice vid thanks! Subbed.
Thanks for the sub!
Would you get this lens (crop 1.5 to 21mm too) or Sony 12-24mm F4 to pair with Sony A7RV and Tamron 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 as everyday lens?

Do you feel you need a 12mm
Thank you for this video. What cheaper option would you recommend?
Sorry for super delay. you probably already have a lens but Sigma 16-28 / Tamron 17-28 are both solid choices. Those should be under $800
@@dclifton Oh, thank you so much! I was considering these

I think most full frame wides under 16mm are going to have the fixed lens hood that makes using filters annoying. What price range are you looking at?

might be worth renting the 16-35 for a few weeks to see if it's what you're looking for
Best choice..tamron 17;28,sigma 16 1.4,sony 20mm 1.8.😊
Tamron makes great lenses! Their 28-75 is one of my favorites
The Tamron 17-28 is great except from 17-20, where the distortion is really bad. I have it and it’s kinda become unusable for me, when I need a ultra wide I need 17-20 and it’s so weak n this area for photos from 19 to 28 it’s great, but it’s so easy to crank it all the way over to 17
I'm thinking about the sigma 16 1.4 for astro as well. Not decided yet
I meant ...I'm thinking about the sigma 14 f1.4 for astro as well. Not decided yet
If you end up getting it come back and let me know how you like it! That's a lens I've had my eyes on for a while now. @@friendlyfreddie

professionals use 2 bodies anyway
