@@Nicofumatravel I had the Viltrox 13mm f1.4, but last week I'd decided to replace it with this lens. I made a video on my TH-cam channel with it and never regretted the replacement. You should get it too. The Viltrox is good looking and is much better for photography but it's too heavy for vlogging if you hold it in your hand for a prolonged period of time.
Thanks Mark for your reviews. I am looking for a lens for the zv-e10. I have watched a couple of your videos. You're quite entertaining. It was nice to see someone from Toronto, my former stomping grounds. I appreciate your honest reviews.
Those shots are so crisp! Great video, I particularly liked the info about shooting against sun light and still being so well lit in the frame. Also the ones done inside the car. Thanks for that video! 🎥🎬❤
Hey Mark, amazing review as always. A suggestion, if you could please mention on the bottom corner what lens, exposure settings, what type of stabilization etc. would be great for viewers to easily correlate the video with the specs. Thanks !
I watched this twice and you really convince me to get one soon lol! I actually been waiting for sony to make this for zv-e10 and finally…take care mark..man your channel grow so fast :) i haven’t vlog a new one yet cuz got busy at work…take care buddy :)
so low-light is determined by the cameras sensor and the fstop on the lens. The lower the fstop, the better in low light. So all of the f1.4 will be good for you. I’ll see if I can grow a test for things like autofocus though
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Yes I know but but maybe one will be better, for example a better Auto Focus. You can wait until it will be end of day ( more dark ) and then do the walking vlog test. Next test it in studio with low light. You can also do comparison APS-C vs Full Frame ( in APS-C mode ) base on this lenses.Create also the same test in good light condition - this will help people to decide what is right for them under what conditions. ps. Thank you for your all work with whole conent. You create a lot of very valuable content. God bess you Mark and all the best for you :)
@@Sebartus in my Sony 15 vs viltrox 13 vs sigma 16 I did a low light test. All of the Sony’s focus perfectly in lowlight. Shockingly good. So no worries about the 11 or 15 from Sony
I loved this video so much. (Because I hate the studio videos with that awful music) so thank you so much for a beautiful video. And for the beautiful music-free audio. I’m so refreshed. And blessed
After watching all of videos again regarding wide angle lenses, decided to purchase the Sony 11mm, simply because Amazon Germany currently offer an 100,- discount. Ordered it through your affiliate link - hope you will now get stupid rich :D
I went with the Younguo 11mm at around half price, same performance and medallic body. Looks epic with the camera too. Small pocket powerhouse weapon for video making.
Great review, as usual. As a narrative filmmaker, I always look at lenses as to how they could be used to help tell a story. A wide angle lens like this 11mm would have a specific use. Since it does distort the head quite dramatically, I would use it to convey a character's state of mind. Mostly, a disturbed state of mind or an altered reality. Either way, it's a really good lens. And seeing that it has literally no focus breathing makes it a no brainer in those altered state of mind scenarios. Looking forward to your comparison between these lenses. Good work.
Sony absolutely blew my lens acquisition pan (and budget) out of the window with this, the 15mm and the 10-20mm. What did surprise me was the affordability. Even at NZ prices, the sony three are justifiably affordable. I already have the Sigma trio plus their 18-50mm kit lens replacement, but the 11mm expands the potential field of view particularly for indoors video given the low light capability. I see the 10-20mm as a very practical purchase as well, given that the Tamron equivalent is close to the same price, while the 10-18mm Sony predecessor was a PoS lens in terms of QC and was very overpriced for what it delivered. I think the 15mm will be the more aspirational of the trio, as I already have the Sigma, but one huge factor is the size and weight advantages of the new Sony lenses. The Sigma 16mm is a humongous beast by comparison, which is fine on a tripod or a bigger gimbal like the Crane M3, but a lot of my projects involve top down shots so lighter and smaller is a major factor.
@@PeterSu If you've already got both - there's no question involved. :) that Combo works perfectly well, and offers more flexibility - I just made the decision to get the M2S because of a combination of budget and I've been able to retire the 200D to studio only work.
I am getting it in 3 days, Just ordered it, my wife has the zv-e10 and I have the a7rIV and the good thing is, even though it is for APSC, my A7RIV has super 35mm which will convert this into 16.5mm and still coughs up 27.11 Megapixels! so a win win!
the Tamron is so great for photos. More versatile, but bigger, heavier, trickier to balance on gimbals, if someone asked me to pick one I would choose the Tamron, but I like taking landscape photos a lot
I haven't owned a "real" camera since my Canon T3i back about 7 years ago. Just now getting back into cameras and I'm going to grab a Sony a6100. I'm just having a toss up between the Sony 11mm 1.4 and the TAMRON 12-20MM 2.8 (which I also watched your video on). I love the flexibility to zoom in with the TAMRON but that 1.8 on the Sony really has me torn. I want to use my choice for live streaming which would be great for low light and it'd likely not get moved at all. But also I want to use the lens for TH-cam so the TAMRON would be great for that 👀 It's a tough choice. Thank you for the great videos on both lenses! ♥
Mark, I'm torn between the Sony 11mm and the Viltrox 13mm for my ZV-E10. •11mm to 13mm isn't too big a deal for my needs. •the 13 is twice the bulk & weight •aside from the $100 price difference, my biggest hangup seems to be with f1.4 vs the f1.8. I've never owned a 1.8 or 1.4, and I am looking for a low-light wide angle lens to record indoor music stuff. I'm really torn 'cause they're so similar. Which do you like more if pressed to choose? Can I even use a gimble with the Viltrox?
if it was inside only on a tripod - I would say get the Viltrox. But if you plan to use gimbals and take it out and about - then I would do the Sony 11.
Hi , I can’t get such clear videos like yours even though I am using same equipments, please do you mind sharing with me camera settings in this video?
Hey Mark, I love your reviews! I would love to see a comparison between the Samyang 12mm f/2.0 and the new Sony 11mm f/1.8. In my experience the Samyang’s autofocus is quite disappointing even in daylight. I would also be curious to see how the active steady shot, barrel distortion, and vignetting compare on both lenses. Thanks!
I will be comparing the Sony 11, Samyang 12 and viltrox 13 very soon. but I can tell you the Samyang is far behind the Sony and viltrox. It’s not as good at autofocus, it has much more ghosting and flares, much worse contrast and is no where near as sharp.
The samyang right now is in sale for 285 eur at Amazon and I am still looking for a good vlogging lens. Right now I have the sigma 16 mm, but it is to heavy. You do not seem too fond of the samyang lens. Did you ever make the comparison video? I just can not find it on your great channel! By the way my favorite tv e-10 channel!
Mark which budget ND filters could you recommend for this lens? Have you tried to use it with ND and mist filters stacked on? I would like to buy ND filters (variable or fixed) and mist for this lens and avoid vignetting.
hey have you seen the wireless microphone that comes with dji pocket 2 combo? well, i was looking for something like that for cameras as well and ws wondering ift the microhphone that you are using, is it similar? also, the ghosting and flaring you talk about at about 4 mins- are we sure its due to the lens alone, and not your zve10? because i read that zve10 was designed with this feature as well, to always keep the face well lit no matter how bright or dark the background was. at around 7 minutes: why is your car shaking so much!!! you cant be that heavy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i am guessing its a side effect of catalyst browse or active steady shot?
ghosting and flaring is a different issue than exposing for the face. It is lens specific. the Sony lenses do a lot better than the Samyang 12mm for instance - all on the ZV-E10. you will see direct examples on an upcoming video
You’re funny man. Watching your videos I’m on the path to resolve my own camera crisis and picked up an a6400. Great video BTW. How is the minimum focus ? I shoot underwater and if I can get close to subjects, I could potentially do fish portraits and reefscapes with the same lens. Or would the sigma 16 be better suited you think? This plus the 50mm macro should have me sorted I hope.
Omg finally Sony released such a lens! I wanted to buy the SEL-1018, but it only has F4. This is a muuuch better choice. Glad I waited! The picture looks awesome.
Found your vid 1 year after the review. Tell me, anything better or you still suggest this lens? For the zve10 vlogging lens! Thanks Mark and thank you for the reviews!
I make vertical videos with my steadicam and my canon 10-18mm doing myself an adapter for that purpose, I like the way it looks, but sure, the problem is that 4.5, I was filming cosplayers at a local convention and I feel like the 3.5 from the 10-22 could be the least for a nicely brighter image, a full frame along a 16mm f2.8 would be ideal... but this lens in the very same context will be just perfect. I was going to use the widest side anyway, so that f1.8 at that darker stage, will be unstoppable. I have an older Sony E body and I was looking for the 16mm f2.8 just because its so small and quite wide, but I think that is no longer needed, this 11mm is my only option now.
Loved your review, this was really helpful! How heavy does that Gimbal get for vlogging? I have a huge and heavy camera setup currently for vlogging and I just can't do it anymore. I LOVE my Canon EOS R + 16-35 mm F1.8 lens - it takes gorgeous shots. But I get headaches from carrying it around. I need something lightweight and easy.
So I’m looking to get this lens because I just made a VR setup in my room. Not a ton of space, and the sigma 16 f1.4 crops in just a bit too much. Would you say this lens would be good for mixed reality VR? Probably a hard question to answer, but curious on your thoughts
You didn't talk much about the macro capability. I'm looking for a solution for my new Sony ZV-E10 for macro videos. My channel is about watches and I want to be able to shoot closeup on a watch face and movement. What would you suggest for either an adaptor or a real macro lens? Thanks
What gimbal? You said M2S then M3? Thx Oh ,and I have some nd and pl filters from my old Canon. 77mm. Can I put these on the Sony lenses? If so, how? Thank you.
the gimbal choice will depend on the size ion your rig. M2S fro very small - m3 for a bit bigger. you can put your filters on the Sony lenses yes. If the lens is 77mm it will fit perfectly, if the lens is smaller, you'll need step-up rings. They are very cheap
Do you think APSC images have more vibrant color than full frame? I noticed my cat’s green eyes seemed to stand out more on Sony A6600 with Sigma 18-50 2,8 than on Sony A7IV with Sigma 28-70 2.8. Wondering if more concentrated color on smaller sensor. Sort of favoring APSC, especially the lighter weight.
The 10-20 is not good for lowlight. the Sony 15 1.4 or Sigma 16 1.4 or Votrox 13mm 1.4 is best for that. the Tamron 11-20 2.8 would be a better zoom option in lowlight. The lower the f number - the better the lowlight
Nice review! Btw I think that widest non fisheye prime lens that you can get on apsc is laowa 9mm f2.8 however this lens is manual focus only. They also have 9mm for full frame but it's f5.6.
In your opinion, what's the better lens to purchase for a ZV-E10 when doing overall filming for TH-cam? I bought my daughter a ZV-E10 - Sirui 35mm Nightwalker lens, and I have the new Sirui 23mm Sniper on the way. But I feel like I made somewhat of a mistake and should have gotten her an all around good lens for everyday filming first. The included lens with the ZV-E10 (16mm-50mm) is not sufficient for her to do quality work, in my opinion. Anyway, I have watched both of your videos on the Sony 11mm and 15mm. Along with plenty of other videos you provide on your channel. Great work by the way. Are either of these a good choice, or is there another option you would recommend that I purchase? I am thinking $300-$650. Not sure if that's a decent amount to work with. Any information would help. You have reviewed so many lenses and done all the work, so I trust in your opinion and I appreciate all of your efforts and knowledge. If I don't hear from ya… "Good Afternoon, Good Evening and Good night" P.S If you have already answered this question, please forgive me.
the sigma 16 1.4 is the best value high quality lens. the Sony 15 is probably the best apsc lens available for video. it’s a wide field of view, but not too wide - the zv-e10’s stabilization works better with the 15 than 3rd party lenses. The 11 is pretty much the perfect vlogging lens.
@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thank you for taking the time to help. I think the Sigma is a decent lens and a good price. If I'm being honest, you keep making all the lenses look so good. I can't choose which one, but I'll think about it. Lol, Happy holidays.
I've got a ZV-E10 with a Sigma 16 mm 1.4 lens and two A6400 with kit lenses. I'm thinking of buying to more Sigma's. What do you think, good choice or should I buy two Sony 11mm's? I use the setup to film podcasts and kit lenses just don't weigh up to the colour and brightness of the Sigma.
Does it give you an “invalid with this lens” error? I have the 10-18 but every time I accidentally zoom, it keeps giving me that error. Really annoying since it’s too easy to accidentally zoom in.
that is the zv-e10 (and the FX3). Anytime a “power zoom” is not connected and you accidentally hit the zoom rocker it will display the message, I’ve asked Sony to give an option to turn it off in a firmware update, but so far no luck.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Man that sucks. I’ll definitely hold off on getting this now. Such a shame that this issue could be fixed through software, but doesn’t seem like Sony is listening. Thank you for answering my comment. I know you can enable optical zoom, still really annoying to see that your zoomed in since it’s too easy to accidentally hit the switch.
It's a bit wide for that I find. But if you use active stabilization on the zv-e10, it crops in a lot and makes the lens much more useable for talking head
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis okay thank you for your suggestions and detailed reply. I have sony fx30. I am considering sony 15mm f1.4 for talking head. please give your thoughts on that
Important question!! I have the Sigma 16mm that I use and enjoy as my ultra-wide angle lens and studio lens for talking head, but I want a smaller lens for vlogging (the Sigma is too heavy and it could be wider). I was offered a $190 trade-in value at a local camera store for it, would it be a good choice to trade it for the Sony 11mm f1.8? The only thing I'd be missing from it is a go-to studio lens with the really nice bokeh. Thanks Mark!
Besides VLogging, what other practical uses do you envision for this lens? Also why get this lens over the 10-18 mm Sony APSC F/4.0 lens, which has more options?
to me vlogging and wide shots under dim light are the main reasons for the 11. I think the 10-18 is going to more useful overall - but it is a lot more expensive.
Hi mate. Firstly I just really like your channel. Secondly I have the zve10 and I think to buy Sony e55mm 1.8 oss? Just for a portrait photography. What you think? Maybe any other? Thanks a lot.
I wonder if when active stabilization is enabled, what mm of lens would it effectively becomes? Because I am choosing between this and the SEL35F18 which has OSS, thanks!
Hi Mark! I was hoping I could get some advice. I have recently purchased my own “little Dougie” which I am planning to use for vlogging an upcoming trip. It’s my first interchangeable lens camera so brand new to the world of lenses. I love the wide angle look and was going to purchase the Sony 10-18mm but saw the new 10-20mm and decided to go for that. I have been testing the ZV E10 & 10-20mm lens for a few days and although it looks great I have a few concerns. I am having to put the footage through Catalyst to stabilise so filming with 1/200 shutter speed as you suggested, which is fine (in daylight) I took this out this evening and with the 1/200 it’s just so dark! (F4 & Auto ISO where I increased to max) I can hardly see myslef. I will be planning on vlogging days and nights so thinking this will be a problem. My question is. Do you think I should go for the Sony 11mm lens instead? It’s still wide but much better at handling low light…right? Or would the low light issue be the exact same as the 10-20 because I would still be filming with 1/200 shutter? (Hope i made sense 😅) thanks
The 11 will be much better - the 1.8 lets in almost 8 times the light as an F4. Also, catalyst works really well these days - so you can leave your shutter speed at 1/50 and still get very good results. If you are moving quickly - you may want to bump it to 1/100. But try the f1.8 and the shutter of 1/50 and your problems in lowlight should be solved
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis well your the gift that keeps on giving Mark! Great advice about the Catalyst update and I will definitely pick up the 11mm and tryout the lower shutter speeds with it. Much appreciated

Does it work with Catalyst Browse? If it has no in-lens stabilization, it also has no in-lens gyro+probably). I don't know what - in normal conditions - generates this gyro data for Catalyst Browse. Is it in-lens gyro chip or in- body gyro chip?
the gyro data is recorded by the camera. it does communicate with the lens, which is why you need a lens that autofocuses. But Catalyst Browse will work with any lens that has autofocus.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thankyouu Mark and one last thing..instead of a multicam setup if we just one Sony zv e10 with this lens..will it be able to focus on 2 person in one single frame if they are sitting besides each other ?

Please do the low light test comparison with all this lenses: Sony 11mm F1.8, 15mm F1.4, Viltrox 13mm F1.4, Sigma 16mm F1.4
was gonna say something similar!
Specially need low light test with the new Sony 11mm apsc...... planning to buy it but at first need some low light test

started in the park, and you hit this one out of the park! pretty sure that's a hockey idiom.
nailed it - slam dunk.
Do you have a video showing what the vignetting looks like with the step up rings? I have SO many 67mm thread filters and would love to grab this lens
Did you figure it out? i'm confused about what size filter to use on it.

Yes that is a HUGE advantage of the R series
can you do a video comparing this to the 15mm in low light?
Fantastic review!!. Congratulations.
Thank you kindly!
Looks like a great option ☺️
Thanks for the review.
Going to be a hard debate in my head between this and the 11-20 tamron.
the Tamron is so great for photos. More versatile, but bigger, heavier, trickier to balance on gimbals, if someone asked me to pick one I would choose the Tamron, but I like taking landscape photos a lot
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I'm leaning towards it. I'm more picky about my photos than my vids. And it's for photos I need the wider shots.
I like your this type of video presentation over the studio presentation. just saying, do this kind of videos more often
It depends on the camera and lens I’m using of course, but yeah - I like to get outside more these days 🤣
What gimbal again?
Just got the ZV-E10 and still learning. I really wish it were more stable….but I still love it.
I have a lot of views about catalyst browse. Look into those and you'll be able to get great stable footage.
Does it not let you zoom in ? I have the zve10 with 11MM and won’t let me zoom in
no this is a prime lens. Prime lenses don't zoom. But the zv-e10 has a feature called clear image zoom that lets you zoom in if you want.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thank you so much
Excellent content, easily digestible 🙏
Much appreciated!
I tired using ND filter but im getting some dark vignetting in the corners 😢
you need a slim one without setup rings. I have a 55mm one from KandF works well. Just published a video on it.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thank you so much , just watched the video today 😁 amazing!
it would be awesome to see a comparinson with the sony 13mm, viltrox 13mm and sigma 16mm 1.4. . cheers and thanks for the vid!
So I’m of tomorrow to buy this lens, just got the ZV E10 mk2 looks like a gimbal might be needed for video filming.
yes gimbal would be best unless you're very smooth. You can use catalyst browse or gyro flow as well
do you have a link to the gimble ?
I haven't owned a "real" camera since my Canon T3i back about 7 years ago. Just now getting back into cameras and I'm going to grab a Sony a6100. I'm just having a toss up between the Sony 11mm 1.4 and the TAMRON 12-20MM 2.8 (which I also watched your video on). I love the flexibility to zoom in with the TAMRON but that 1.8 on the Sony really has me torn. I want to use my choice for live streaming which would be great for low light and it'd likely not get moved at all. But also I want to use the lens for TH-cam so the TAMRON would be great for that 👀 It's a tough choice. Thank you for the great videos on both lenses! ♥
Great video. What lens would you recommend to shoot a wedding video using the Zv e10 and a Crane M3..
Mark, I'm torn between the Sony 11mm and the Viltrox 13mm for my ZV-E10.
•11mm to 13mm isn't too big a deal for my needs.
•the 13 is twice the bulk & weight
•aside from the $100 price difference, my biggest hangup seems to be with f1.4 vs the f1.8.
I've never owned a 1.8 or 1.4, and I am looking for a low-light wide angle lens to record indoor music stuff.
I'm really torn 'cause they're so similar. Which do you like more if pressed to choose?
Can I even use a gimble with the Viltrox?
if it was inside only on a tripod - I would say get the Viltrox. But if you plan to use gimbals and take it out and about - then I would do the Sony 11.
Turned on my steady shot but there was no crop. Is there something wrong with my settings?
activesteady shot will give you a big crop. regular steady shot is just lens stabilization and that will have no crop
Hi , I can’t get such clear videos like yours even though I am using same equipments, please do you mind sharing with me camera settings in this video?
Hey Mark, I love your reviews!
I would love to see a comparison between the Samyang 12mm f/2.0 and the new Sony 11mm f/1.8. In my experience the Samyang’s autofocus is quite disappointing even in daylight. I would also be curious to see how the active steady shot, barrel distortion, and vignetting compare on both lenses.
Thanks!
I will be comparing the Sony 11, Samyang 12 and viltrox 13 very soon. but I can tell you the Samyang is far behind the Sony and viltrox. It’s not as good at autofocus, it has much more ghosting and flares, much worse contrast and is no where near as sharp.
The samyang right now is in sale for 285 eur at Amazon and I am still looking for a good vlogging lens. Right now I have the sigma 16 mm, but it is to heavy. You do not seem too fond of the samyang lens. Did you ever make the comparison video? I just can not find it on your great channel! By the way my favorite tv e-10 channel!
Are there any like this for Full frame??
Mark which budget ND filters could you recommend for this lens? Have you tried to use it with ND and mist filters stacked on? I would like to buy ND filters (variable or fixed) and mist for this lens and avoid vignetting.
Did you figure out what vnd size would do good on this lens?
hey have you seen the wireless microphone that comes with dji pocket 2 combo? well, i was looking for something like that for cameras as well and ws wondering ift the microhphone that you are using, is it similar?
also, the ghosting and flaring you talk about at about 4 mins- are we sure its due to the lens alone, and not your zve10? because i read that zve10 was designed with this feature as well, to always keep the face well lit no matter how bright or dark the background was.
at around 7 minutes: why is your car shaking so much!!! you cant be that heavy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i am guessing its a side effect of catalyst browse or active steady shot?
ghosting and flaring is a different issue than exposing for the face. It is lens specific. the Sony lenses do a lot better than the Samyang 12mm for instance - all on the ZV-E10. you will see direct examples on an upcoming video
this mic is the Hollyland Lark 150. it’s a wireless mic not unlike the DJI
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis ooooih .. understood sir! Thanks! Superfast response... amazing 😊😊😊
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks! It's quite expensive though ☹️.
yes - look at the deity picket wireless - sounds great and is a good price
You’re funny man. Watching your videos I’m on the path to resolve my own camera crisis and picked up an a6400. Great video BTW.
How is the minimum focus ? I shoot underwater and if I can get close to subjects, I could potentially do fish portraits and reefscapes with the same lens. Or would the sigma 16 be better suited you think?
This plus the 50mm macro should have me sorted I hope.
Omg finally Sony released such a lens! I wanted to buy the SEL-1018, but it only has F4. This is a muuuch better choice. Glad I waited!
The picture looks awesome.
it’s great. the Tamron 11-20 is also a better option if you need a zoom that can get you a 2.8
Yes yes yes. Comparison with the competition please!
Which microphone is this? Love it!
Is there any other lens similar to this nowadays?
I have the viltrox 13mm 1.4 but it weights alot and trembles while walking.
the Yongnuo 11mm is out now Sony 11mm f1.8 vs Yongnuo 11mm F1.8 - Best Wide Angle and Vlogging Lens
th-cam.com/video/kjeyplKmkvQ/w-d-xo.html
hi Mark, have you heard about the yongnuo 11mm f1.8? if ever, would you consider doing a comparisson with the sony 11mm? thanks
Found your vid 1 year after the review. Tell me, anything better or you still suggest this lens? For the zve10 vlogging lens!
Thanks Mark and thank you for the reviews!
yes - absolutely the best vlogging lens. Still have mine!!
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thank you for the quick reply!💥🙏🏼
Hi buddy at what aperrture where you in the pask? and in the car 1.8 right? You rock!
I make vertical videos with my steadicam and my canon 10-18mm doing myself an adapter for that purpose, I like the way it looks, but sure, the problem is that 4.5, I was filming cosplayers at a local convention and I feel like the 3.5 from the 10-22 could be the least for a nicely brighter image, a full frame along a 16mm f2.8 would be ideal... but this lens in the very same context will be just perfect. I was going to use the widest side anyway, so that f1.8 at that darker stage, will be unstoppable.
I have an older Sony E body and I was looking for the 16mm f2.8 just because its so small and quite wide, but I think that is no longer needed, this 11mm is my only option now.
Loved your review, this was really helpful! How heavy does that Gimbal get for vlogging? I have a huge and heavy camera setup currently for vlogging and I just can't do it anymore. I LOVE my Canon EOS R + 16-35 mm F1.8 lens - it takes gorgeous shots. But I get headaches from carrying it around. I need something lightweight and easy.
if you get this lens with the zv-e10 and the zhiyun crane m2s, you’ll be able to carry it around all day.
So I’m looking to get this lens because I just made a VR setup in my room. Not a ton of space, and the sigma 16 f1.4 crops in just a bit too much. Would you say this lens would be good for mixed reality VR? Probably a hard question to answer, but curious on your thoughts
Hello, how does this lens compare to the Sony 10-20 mm F4 lens? Thank you.
Ordered today 💫👍🏻
MARKKKKKKKKKK, what's your camera settings, how is it so clear?????
If you have to choose from this or sigma 16 . 1.4 ?
How are you holding your camera when walking ?
which vND filter can you recommend for daily vlog on 11mm f1.8 lens?
Did you figure out which VND to use with this lens?
Is there an adapter that exists that lets you use this lens with Fujifilm X series cameras, like the X-T4?
You didn't talk much about the macro capability. I'm looking for a solution for my new Sony ZV-E10 for macro videos. My channel is about watches and I want to be able to shoot closeup on a watch face and movement. What would you suggest for either an adaptor or a real macro lens? Thanks
Missed this comment - but. areal macro lens would be best. Look at the Sony 90mm Macro
What gimbal? You said M2S then M3? Thx Oh ,and I have some nd and pl filters from my old Canon. 77mm. Can I put these on the Sony lenses? If so, how? Thank you.
the gimbal choice will depend on the size ion your rig. M2S fro very small - m3 for a bit bigger. you can put your filters on the Sony lenses yes. If the lens is 77mm it will fit perfectly, if the lens is smaller, you'll need step-up rings. They are very cheap
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I'm looking into it. Getting the camera body first, then I'll look at a lense. It'll be for youtube vlogs. Thanks.
So what lens? Still looks like I should be getting body only, then the 11mm?
Do you think APSC images have more vibrant color than full frame? I noticed my cat’s green eyes seemed to stand out more on Sony A6600 with Sigma 18-50 2,8 than on Sony A7IV with Sigma 28-70 2.8. Wondering if more concentrated color on smaller sensor. Sort of favoring APSC, especially the lighter weight.
It’s probably just the difference between the sensors and colour science. but the smaller sensors with more megapixels do tend to look pretty sharp
do u have any video for your camera settings?
The way you review is wonderful and useful . Sony 10-20 can shoot lowlight ? Thanks
The 10-20 is not good for lowlight. the Sony 15 1.4 or Sigma 16 1.4 or Votrox 13mm 1.4 is best for that. the Tamron 11-20 2.8 would be a better zoom option in lowlight. The lower the f number - the better the lowlight
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thanks
Hey Mark! what gimbal do you use to vlog?
Nevermind you said it! I was already looking at the M2s so this is my sign :D
z-e10 with the 11 is definitely the m2s
What are they building in the middle of the park?
Can you tell me what your Zve10 settings are in this video?
Hi Mark, I'm big fan from Bangkok 😊 Just bought this lens and I was wondering which nd filter is the best for this lens. Thank you in advance.
Should be a video on that tomorrow if all goes well
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis awesome thanks Mark
Nice review! Btw I think that widest non fisheye prime lens that you can get on apsc is laowa 9mm f2.8 however this lens is manual focus only. They also have 9mm for full frame but it's f5.6.
Yes - should have clarified autofocus!! Stupid construction threw me off 🤣🤣
So I'm buying an E10, best to skip the E10 bundled with kit lens & buy one of these?
I usually get a kit lens for a a backup lens and higher resale value - but once you buy other lenses - you won't be using it much
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks - makes sense 👍
In your opinion, what's the better lens to purchase for a ZV-E10 when doing overall filming for TH-cam? I bought my daughter a ZV-E10 - Sirui 35mm Nightwalker lens, and I have the new Sirui 23mm Sniper on the way. But I feel like I made somewhat of a mistake and should have gotten her an all around good lens for everyday filming first. The included lens with the ZV-E10 (16mm-50mm) is not sufficient for her to do quality work, in my opinion. Anyway, I have watched both of your videos on the Sony 11mm and 15mm. Along with plenty of other videos you provide on your channel. Great work by the way. Are either of these a good choice, or is there another option you would recommend that I purchase? I am thinking $300-$650. Not sure if that's a decent amount to work with. Any information would help. You have reviewed so many lenses and done all the work, so I trust in your opinion and I appreciate all of your efforts and knowledge. If I don't hear from ya… "Good Afternoon, Good Evening and Good night" P.S If you have already answered this question, please forgive me.
the sigma 16 1.4 is the best value high quality lens. the Sony 15 is probably the best apsc lens available for video. it’s a wide field of view, but not too wide - the zv-e10’s stabilization works better with the 15 than 3rd party lenses. The 11 is pretty much the perfect vlogging lens.
@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thank you for taking the time to help. I think the Sigma is a decent lens and a good price. If I'm being honest, you keep making all the lenses look so good. I can't choose which one, but I'll think about it. Lol, Happy holidays.
I've got a ZV-E10 with a Sigma 16 mm 1.4 lens and two A6400 with kit lenses. I'm thinking of buying to more Sigma's. What do you think, good choice or should I buy two Sony 11mm's? I use the setup to film podcasts and kit lenses just don't weigh up to the colour and brightness of the Sigma.
If you like the Sigma - stick with it. It's cheaper and I like the focal length more for faces - less distortion. I'm definitely keeping mine.
Does it give you an “invalid with this lens” error? I have the 10-18 but every time I accidentally zoom, it keeps giving me that error. Really annoying since it’s too easy to accidentally zoom in.
that is the zv-e10 (and the FX3). Anytime a “power zoom” is not connected and you accidentally hit the zoom rocker it will display the message, I’ve asked Sony to give an option to turn it off in a firmware update, but so far no luck.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Man that sucks. I’ll definitely hold off on getting this now. Such a shame that this issue could be fixed through software, but doesn’t seem like Sony is listening. Thank you for answering my comment. I know you can enable optical zoom, still really annoying to see that your zoomed in since it’s too easy to accidentally hit the switch.
Would you recommend it for a real estate photo of the laowa 2.8?
It would be good for really small spaces like closets - but it will probably make regular rooms look deceptively big
If we shoot video while traveling inside from car in 4k do we get bad rolling shutter in zve10?
yes, most cameras will show noticeable rolling shutter if you are filming things whipping by a window and the ZV-E10 will do quite poorly
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks lot
hi , how does it perform indoor studio for talking head videos?
It's a bit wide for that I find. But if you use active stabilization on the zv-e10, it crops in a lot and makes the lens much more useable for talking head
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis okay thank you for your suggestions and detailed reply. I have sony fx30. I am considering sony 15mm f1.4 for talking head. please give your thoughts on that
Important question!! I have the Sigma 16mm that I use and enjoy as my ultra-wide angle lens and studio lens for talking head, but I want a smaller lens for vlogging (the Sigma is too heavy and it could be wider). I was offered a $190 trade-in value at a local camera store for it, would it be a good choice to trade it for the Sony 11mm f1.8? The only thing I'd be missing from it is a go-to studio lens with the really nice bokeh. Thanks Mark!
the 11 is my favourite vlogging lens for sure
Besides VLogging, what other practical uses do you envision for this lens?
Also why get this lens over the 10-18 mm Sony APSC F/4.0 lens, which has more options?
to me vlogging and wide shots under dim light are the main reasons for the 11. I think the 10-18 is going to more useful overall - but it is a lot more expensive.
Hey Mark, do you think this lens would work well for interior real estate photography?. I’m thinking it will but want your input.
it would be great for sure
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thank you 🙏🏼
¿Soy yo o la estabilización de esta cámara es lamentable incluso cuando estás usando el estabilizador activo y la lente 11mm?
Hi mate. Firstly I just really like your channel. Secondly I have the zve10 and I think to buy Sony e55mm 1.8 oss? Just for a portrait photography. What you think? Maybe any other? Thanks a lot.
Yes - great lens - or the Sigma 56mm 1.4 is another (that's my go to)
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thank you ☺️
I wonder if when active stabilization is enabled, what mm of lens would it effectively becomes? Because I am choosing between this and the SEL35F18 which has OSS, thanks!
this will be much wider than the 35 even on active stabilization. the 11 will become basically a 16. 16 Vs 35 is not very close
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I will pick this lens then, so much versatile! Thanks!😘
Hi Mark! I was hoping I could get some advice. I have recently purchased my own “little Dougie” which I am planning to use for vlogging an upcoming trip. It’s my first interchangeable lens camera so brand new to the world of lenses. I love the wide angle look and was going to purchase the Sony 10-18mm but saw the new 10-20mm and decided to go for that. I have been testing the ZV E10 & 10-20mm lens for a few days and although it looks great I have a few concerns. I am having to put the footage through Catalyst to stabilise so filming with 1/200 shutter speed as you suggested, which is fine (in daylight) I took this out this evening and with the 1/200 it’s just so dark! (F4 & Auto ISO where I increased to max) I can hardly see myslef. I will be planning on vlogging days and nights so thinking this will be a problem. My question is. Do you think I should go for the Sony 11mm lens instead? It’s still wide but much better at handling low light…right? Or would the low light issue be the exact same as the 10-20 because I would still be filming with 1/200 shutter? (Hope i made sense 😅) thanks
The 11 will be much better - the 1.8 lets in almost 8 times the light as an F4. Also, catalyst works really well these days - so you can leave your shutter speed at 1/50 and still get very good results. If you are moving quickly - you may want to bump it to 1/100. But try the f1.8 and the shutter of 1/50 and your problems in lowlight should be solved
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis well your the gift that keeps on giving Mark! Great advice about the Catalyst update and I will definitely pick up the 11mm and tryout the lower shutter speeds with it. Much appreciated
Hey Mark, great video! I have budget for 1 lens only, the Sony 11mm, or the Sigma 10-18mm...which one to get?
what are you shooting?
Piano tutorials (top-down shots) and a bit of street photography@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis
Does it work with Catalyst Browse? If it has no in-lens stabilization, it also has no in-lens gyro+probably). I don't know what - in normal conditions - generates this gyro data for Catalyst Browse. Is it in-lens gyro chip or in- body gyro chip?
the gyro data is recorded by the camera. it does communicate with the lens, which is why you need a lens that autofocuses. But Catalyst Browse will work with any lens that has autofocus.
Is it good to pair it up with a Sony zv e 10 for a multi cam podcast ?
for sure!!
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thankyouu Mark and one last thing..instead of a multicam setup if we just one Sony zv e10 with this lens..will it be able to focus on 2 person in one single frame if they are sitting besides each other ?
