These lenses are what I have been looking for these days to make 360 video with my camera sony a6300 and sony a6500. This makes me very happy thanks 100000 thanks !!!!!!!!!!
Glad it helped!
im loving your cheap lens series! great job!
+Rony Beck thanks!
What's up Christopher? I've been looking at trying this lens for so long sitting on the fence. You're the first person I think, to do a proper review on TH-cam. I'm shooting micro 4/3, so I wonder if it being a little more zoomed out would not show the petals. I was looking for something to do landscapes with, but if as you say the edges are not to crisp it might be better to pass. Lenses are my favorite thing to review on my channel as well.
I think that with it being cropped in more on your MFT camera it should be good at F/8. But if you are planning on shooting low light or handheld you may want something a little sharper wide open. Its not a bad little lens.
Great review - good explanations and sample photos and video. Thanks for the review!
you do an awesome job with these random lens videos. really loved the telescope one but the cheap finds are super enjoyable to watch. if you're into it you should try random old minolta lenses, they're actually my favorite to shoot with on my a6500 :)
I have wanted to get into some of those classic lenses. I just haven't jumped in yet. Definitely coming at some point.
Great review and Good find. Shows it doesn't have to be expensive ;)
Would be cool to do lens review tests in public places, because that more of what people would be photographing and filming.
why aren't you famous yet?
+Yemeni Food Channel trying to get there! Lol
you will, I love your channel and watch all your videos. keep it up bro. maybe I can help get you branded (website).
The problem is practical vs "pro" stuff. Christopher shows the practical things we can do or buy without breaking the bank.
Thanks
Would be perfect for filming skate videos in old school style!
Does it only work on Sony cameras? Or does it work with other cameras?
Do more super cheapo cctv lens reviews, they're great!
I intend to! I really enjoy them.
please do a video review after you cut the lens hood petals!! I want to know if they still show in the image
love these videos
That's what I like to hear!
Thank you for your Video.
What lens did you take at 12:00? Is it a Cheap or Sony 10-18mm Lens?
Heck, yeah! I could use this out there on the river.
Interesting fisheye lens. It'd be fun to create some photos for Instagram with it. Thanks for the video.
I wish this was on the uk amazon, would have been bought straight away
Meike 6,5mm F2 one of the best 👍
Which is the adapter?
C to nex? I need it hahah
it looks like the perfect lens for instagram 1:1 ratio. It creates awesome fish-eye images for cheap. but I'd prefer the samyang/rokinon 8mm for APS-C.
Indeed those lenses would be a better choice for overall usability and quality, especially the f/2.8 from rokinon, but 70 bucks is hard to pass up.
We skaters have a rule: fisheye on, steadishot off.
Shaya Maddex and borders are even greater
You had Frank Doorhof reply to this vid. You are getting big time!
actually this lens rated for 4/3... thats why I hold back buying it... seems quite ok for the price... you can use hemi fisheye or other fisheye correction app..including one within acdsee ...and it quite good..
+Arie Lendra Putra that's why there is such heavy vignetting because it is deigned for a smaller sensor.
how do you monitor your video on the sony? I have the a6000 and it doesn't let me monitor from my phone on video mode.
+Yemeni Food Channel I don't know what limitations the a6000 might have but i used my phone for a while. I just recently got a 7 inch external monitor that I hook up with an hdmi cable.
Christopher Burress oh yea the external monitor will probably do the trick. I was tinkering with the play memories app and it allows you to mirror the screen but only for photos and only in certain photo modes.
+Yemeni Food Channel interesting, must be an a6000 limitation
does the lens work with the sony a6000
Hi cristopher ! Nice work u do !!! did u cut thoses petals finally?
+Loic Michel I did, I did a video about it too.
can u send it to me please ? i dindt find it !
It comes the adapter when you buy it right ? For emount
just subbed. keep it up man.
Hey do you know a good e mount to Nikon f mount adapter. I love the lenses you show off but I have a nikon
is that the lens with m4/3 markings on it? no vignetting?
Can I use it for 360 real estate photography ..photos that is
You would need a way to stitch them and get it to work with 360 viewers.
Interested in seeing the lens. Hood removal images!
Check out my latest video!
How do you keep the lens from rotating while focusing? I have a problem with a C-mount lens doing that. It's also really easy for it to come loose from the adapter. Any tips?
+Hal Avisado I just tightened it and it never came loose. I suggest some lok tight, the lightest strength stuff should work well enough
what software do you use on your tablet as a monitor, and is there lag for the video stream?
I use the play memories sony app. There is a slight delay, but it helps me keep things in frame and in focus.
I would rather have a flip screen or hdmi Monitor for sure though
Does focus peaking work with this lens?
can it use the fujian 35mm's mount?
Does it work with Sony A6000?
this is pretty cool.. but for me, if i need to get that much wider i will just stitch an image together using lightroom. :)
so what's the deal with the a6500 cropping in at 4K? Don't most cameras do the opposite - crop in for HD? Also I thought they said there was "no pixel binning" so you were actually shooting a 6K image across the whole sensor and downsizing that to 4K. This video has me confused in my understanding now. Can you please explain? Thanks!
I believe that the "No pixel binning" thing is probably only for 4k 24p. because there is no crop when you shoot at 4k 24p. I think that full 6k image at 30fps must have just been a little too much for the processor.
Hey thanks for the reply! So if you shoot at 4K 24p it will look the same as HD as far as crop goes? Why wouldn't you always be shooting in that? seems like it would be a much better image!
Ever since this video i started shooting in 24p for that very reason! All of my ireland trip vlogs were shot in 24p to make the most of the 10-18mm lens.
Nice! I like the look of 24p better than 30 myself or 60 for slowmo. I've been shooting on the a6000 for years and I'm excited because it's almost broken now so need to upgrade!! While I got your attention I noticed you don't have any ads before your videos - seems like you'd make some more cash if you did that and I for one wouldn't mind it... best of luck.
All of my videos are monetized, the ads come and go as google sees fit. Thanks for the concern!
Can u get it in a Canon
will this work on a6400??
does it works on a canon eos m10
is this good as a first fisheye for sony a6000?
It's definitely a cheap way to try it out to see if you like it.
thanks! might buy one especially for urbex/rooftopping!
I’m confused, did you try this with 4k 24p? You say it crops in but it doesn’t at 24p and that’s all I shoot...does this lens show the Lens Hood at 4k 24p?
At the time I didn't shoot in 24p and didn't realize that it didn't crop in that mode. Your 4k 24p should look just like the 1080p example in this video.
Which one of them will fit The Sony A6000 (I read all the comments and still don't understand which one of them will fit) ? any recommendation for fisheye lens that will fit the Sony A6000 are welcome! Thanks!!
would this work on the a5100?
Yes
Isn't the lens hood detachable? Thanks.
Unfortunately its glued into place.
image looks decent but that FOV in 1080p with petals in frame not good, glad i didn't buy it haha, i would like you to review the oshiro 8mm which i've used in the A6000
+LKFX Quality Media Yeah it was a little too much cropping for my liking. It's still really stinking wide.
Hey what app are you use on your tablet for viewing?
+Burd Video and Photo it's the playmemories app from Sony
Christopher Burress how are you viewing it live?
+Burd Video and Photo it connects to the camera via Bluetooth and let's you control it and monitor it live.
what's the song name at the end of video? )
which camera did you used in this video??
The a6500
Is that good for startup photography rather then 80d canon?
They are really very similar. I prefer the a6500 because I can adapt any lens to it and enjoy vintage glass as well as it being smaller and more video capabilities. The 80d will have better battery life and canon has some great lenses.
What if i buy a sony hx400v for initial stage?
That won't be a bad choice and will definitely be cheaper. I think the crazy super zoom point and shoots are a little ridiculous and I would rather have a larger sensor, even a micro 4/3 sensor is huge compared to what's in the point and shoot. I think that the sensor in the galaxy S8 is actually bigger than what's in it as well....
why dont you shoot your 4k on a6500 at 25p instead of 30p, you wont have this 1.23 crop and you get a better image as the 4k@25p is downsampled from 6k - other point comparison with gopro was very interesting, thanks - but for a for a fair comparison of field of vierw, on gopro you have a wider superview mode that should be as wide as this 8mm on your aps-c.
I thought the superview on gopro just stretched the edges and gave it a different look for forward moving action.
well from what i read, go pro 1/2.3" sensor is 5.5x crop and the lens is 2.5mm so it should be around 8mm equivalent on aps-c (here is the data i got : Ultrawide = 170° = ~12mm in 35mm equivalent Medium = 120° = ~17mm in 35mm equivalent Narrow = 85° = ~24mm in 35mm equivalent) - thanks again for this aps-c/gopro comparison for fisheye, it is rare to see this kind of usefull comparison.
No problem for the comparison! It was just the only other fisheye I had. But I just tested out the superview and it looks like it got about 15% of the way closer to as wide as this little 8mm, but still was a ways away from being just as wide. So it was indeed wider, but not wide enough to call it the same. (for reference I would say that superview would get 2/3rds of the first window in frame, if compared to my test in the video)
Hehe, I think you missed half a second of the cut a 1:33 :D
Can i put this on my Nikon D7100? Please someone answer ! :)
Doesn't work on DSLR
Nice 🐟👁
F3.8 wtf. How could you build such a small lens and block that much light...
I think you got ripped off, if you paid $60 for that lens. I bought the exact same one for $25.
I couldn't find it anywhere cheaper. Maybe I didn't look hard enough....
Christopher Burress maybe it's where you live. I bought mine at a camera shop while I was in Taiwan.
buuuut. the 9mm f8 bodycap lens. tried that?
curvature of the earth? wtf are you talking about.. earth is kinda flat, learn about perspektive
