The Sign one the Camera top view, looks like this -0- shows where the sensor is located in the body. From that line, you have to measure the centimeters to the subject. Btw i like the Photo through the fence! Awsome shot
Came here to add this. Correct. Honestly. I stopped the video to post this. When reviewing a lens, if you don't know the basics, like where the focal plane is measured from, you've lost credibility to me. It calls into question any other technical observations immediately. Also, show me a matte box that can cover 117 degrees of FOV. Filters won't work on this. Don't tell me to get a matte box on an 11mm if I want filters. That isn't how its done...
Minimal focal distance is measured from the sensor not the end of the lens. Look at the top of your camera you will see a circle with a line through it. That is where the sensor is and where the minimal focus distance is measure from.
Nice video Jason - I just bought one of these bad boys. Moved over from M4/3 to Sony FF recently. I had a couple of ultra wides over there and always had fun shooting with them. Mainly landscape here but also great to capture large events like Short Track Oval NASCAR races too!
Hey Jason love the video, being in Brisy where did you pick this lens up from?? Want to grab one for my Sony a7 full frame camera. Been trying to find a true fish eye lens and this looks ideal. Steve
Wooo excellent, my friend talks to me using this lens on the sony a6400, inside a waterproof case, to photograph surfing, I know that it is manual focus, adjusting the ring to infinity, would I have the photos in focus, or would such a task be impossible?
uhh... you CAN use an ND filter, even with fisheye lenses, you just have to use a clip ND filter that goes over your sensor instead of the lens. STC Optics makes some and I forget the other brand I've seen.
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Got it! And how is the lens at work? Are you using it now? Are you satisfied with the quality of the photos you receive after a long period of use?
@@Fishoscope because I'm mainly a video shooter I rarely use it. If I was into more photography I certainly would use it more often. I've only used it twice since this video
Which these ultra wide angle lenses do you suggest for indoor real estate videography in a low light noisy situation with Sony ZV-E10 camera ? 1. Sony 11mm f.1/8 2. Samyang 12mm 3. Rokinon 12mm 4. Tamron 11-20mm 5. Viltrox 13mm F1.4
@@giuliannomoroni4869 it's compatible but you'll have a dramatically smaller angle of view. If he wants a GoPro-type look he will want a fisheye that's specifically designed for an APS-C sensor, like the one I suggested.
Hi Jason , hope this finds you well , quick question . I have been shooting dark interiors (theaters ) and neon ( marquees )with my osmo and I have tried every exposure setting possible and cant quite get the quality I need ...any suggestions ? This question is of course open also to anyone who would like to pitch in as well ...Thanks to all !! Cheers
Hi. The problem here would be dark interiors. The osmo pocket is not great under low light conditions. You would have better luck with a mirrorless camera and a fast lens. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do unless you add more light
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema With some further research I found the YONGNUO YN300 Air Pro LED Video Light for DV . those are highly recommended by a noted still Photographer. Those are both small & affordable . I am gonna give it a try and see how those perform then get back to you . Any suggestions on how best to shoot Neon at dusk or night with the Osmo ? .Many Thanks for the response,!!
I'm considering getting my first fisheye. But I fail to see the point in getting a 2.8 lens, if it's not tack sharp at 2.8. Guess the search continues!
I have had alot of fisheye lenses and there is no fisheye that is tack sharp in the corners soft corners are the nature of the beast with fisheye you mostly want the middle of the frame sharp as for me a 2.8 is what I need for concert photography Tokina Canon Rokinon Nikon Pentex Samyang Sigma Tamron None are tack sharp in corners
There is something called a curve or bulb with fisheye lenses. Corners are not going to be sharp at big aperture because of this. That’s the shape of the glass. To get corners as sharp at center you have to have a flat lens. Flat field macros. Yes usually macros are sharp at corners and center because they are used today shoot flat work like paintings or let’s say text on a book. That’s specialized lens. People who think every Lens should be sharp at corners and center at biggest aperture have no clue how lenses are constructed
Mate congrats on the 20k mate and sorry your videos don’t get the views they deserve honestly it’s not you it’s just people have subscribed to way to many channels and just can’t keep up.. Great job
I am pretty sure that the minimum focus distance is measured from the camera sensor not from the front of the lens. Nice video!
Correct
if that is the case the minimum focus distance is even worse then. It measures at 21cm from the sensor rather than 17cm

minimum focus distance is calculated by the distance from the focal plane (sensor), not the front of the lens element.

If you liked the style you should try the laowa 12mm zero d. Gets rid of the fish eye look but still ultra wide
Top shelf review mate. Subbed.
Nice brisbane shots😀😀
Focusing distance measures from the sensor , or the drawingnof the sensor on the body
Amazing work again Jason...
Which lens distortion correction did you use in LR ??
I have this lens and I will try to do some milky way photography with it
i just bought it and i think the samyang 12mm is the better choice ... have you tried that one ?
Samyang 12 mm is a crop sensor lens
@@charruaporelmundo no it's not. The normal 12mm is, but not the fisheye
Wooo excellent, my friend talks to me using this lens on the sony a6400, inside a waterproof case, to photograph surfing, I know that it is manual focus, adjusting the ring to infinity, would I have the photos in focus, or would such a task be impossible?
Kind of pointless to use a full frame fisheye on an APSC body, you would be better off with the Samyang 8mm fisheye for APSC cameras.
uhh... you CAN use an ND filter, even with fisheye lenses, you just have to use a clip ND filter that goes over your sensor instead of the lens. STC Optics makes some and I forget the other brand I've seen.
love this lens, use it for dj work.
I'd still like one of those 14mm F1,8 GM lenses first...
Jason, hello! What profile did you choose to correct distortion in Lightroom? Which one is the best for this lens?
I chose anything similar to this focal length and tried the one that looks the best. Actually just trial and error
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Got it! And how is the lens at work? Are you using it now? Are you satisfied with the quality of the photos you receive after a long period of use?

This VS Samyang?? I've used samyang for years, but kinda hate it. The focus ring is horrible.
Is this a manual lens?
nice shots bro ! I do have one 7artisan but for crop sensor - I just bought this one for my 7R3
Which these ultra wide angle lenses do you suggest for indoor real estate videography in a low light noisy situation with Sony ZV-E10 camera ?
1. Sony 11mm f.1/8
2. Samyang 12mm
3. Rokinon 12mm
4. Tamron 11-20mm
5. Viltrox 13mm F1.4
Viltrox for sure
Great video! Does the lens communicate with the auto focus?
Disregard. You answered the question in the video lol 🤓🤝
hehe
What do you think the best lens profile correction we must use in lightroom?
Parrot
Would this be a good addition to an a6000? It seems like an extreme version of the superview on my GoPro 8.
Thanks for your videos!
No, as this is for a full-frame sensor. For similar results on a mirrorless APS-C, get the Samyang/Rokinon 8mm f2.8.
@@aldolega It is clear and evident that it is compatible with APS-C, Kevin Cox, serves my friend.

None are tack sharp in corners
Even if it was sharp at 2.8 it usually has dark corners until f4

low light performance ?? i am using for night club photography
That’s relative to your cameras performance
Can u flattern it out in post

Is this an auto focus lens. I don't do manual focus.
sweeeeeeeeet lens
i wish i had one DSLR or mirrorless camera one day
You need to learn some basics and color grading.
No me gusta. Fisheye lenses are definitely not for me. Goodness gracious do the images and video from it look weird.
It is not weather sealed at all so it is trash
Most cinema glass isn't weather sealed. Lots of great lenses aren't weather sealed.
What 11mm lens do you recommend instead ? What 11mm lens do you use ?
