Great video! But Jason....you forgot ONE thing. Throw this baby on your A7-IV and switch to FULL FRAME. Shoot in 16x9 video and change your Clear Image Zoom into a 1.2 sensor crop! Yup...you guessed it...you now have a perfect 13mm...full frame field of view at f1.8. Sick....just crazy sick. (You can of course read crop from 1.2 to 1.5 if you want too)
I got an A6700 and bought just the 11mm lens for it. I found no flaws in it, I can hardly believe how good it is. A Viltrox 23mm is on the way, since ultrawide isn't for everything...
Thanks for doing this Jason! I was first hooked-on the sony 15mm f/1.4, but you just sold me on getting the 11mm, as it can serve both as a main camera in the studio, and importantly, for vlogging.
This would go well with the Sony A74 when it's in the Super 35mm mode. My combination for the Sony A74 for filming would be. 10-20mm lens Tamron 17-70mm Sony 24-105
Thanks a lot for this review :) One thing that was not covered is stabilization. I don’t think this lens has any built in and to be honest you can really tell. I found everything beautiful but way too shaky. So I wonder what you can do in post to correct this (I hope you didn’t already 😅) I’m planning to use this on an a6700, very excited about the shakiness… Cheers from Munich
Hi Jason Tks for the video reviewing Sony Sel11F18 may I know is the ZV-E10 Caner have Stabilization, and if you don’t mind May I know the model of the microphone I saw attached on the camera. I am interested to purchase. Tks
Really love the way this looks on the ZV-e10. I’m on the hunt for the next lens for my ZV-e10 for video (especially this new YT channel) and this lens is moving up on my list! Love your content dude!
@@MichaelHeredia great choices. I heard sigma 16mm is a god tier. Im seeing good comments about Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 too, and a couple of youtube channel said that viltrox is better than sigma 16mm. So I am confuse lol
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema I guess that another thing to consider is weight. The 13mm is heavier, and would probably be on the edge to use with a Crane M3/M2S, while the 11mm would give you room to attach a mic, for vlog.
10-20 f4 or 11mm 1.8 after kit lens? What do you suggest for zv-e10 after kit lens? I think f4 is not enough for indoors and dark here in the north with reindeers at backyard.
Nice! I had to unfortunetly sell my Sony a7c w/ f1.8 G Lens 2 months ago due to the cost of living crisis in NZ and moving place. One of my goals is to get a Sony replacement nearer the end of this year (Sony ZV-E10) plus this Lens. Will use primarily for 4k video for night events (low light) like fireworks or indoor shows or anything in low light. Looking to get later this year as thats when retailers have better sales and gives me some time to save. It'll also be much lighter and less expensive than my Sony a7c kit I sold.
11mm 1.8 on a a7iv, can I use a nd filter size of 67mm step down to 55mm, will it cause any vignetting, I am shooting in 4k24fps with active stabilization, thanks a lot!
Hi Jason What about stability in regards to hand handled photography and videography?? Is this lens shaky? Since this is not having OSS. I am having A6400 hence asking
Hey. I recently ordered the Sony ZV E10 with kit lens 16-50 and got it for 533 USD. I have shot some videos using my S20 FE 5G. For content creation, do you think that the ZV E10 with kit lens will be much better? I dont have the time to color grade or do such editing. I have two soft boxes and a led panel for studio recording.
How about the compartison with the Viltrox 16mm f1.8 lens? Viltrox in fullframe mode Sony 11mm f1.8 in super 35 crop mode? How about the image quality at corners? Using Sony's 11mm lens in FF mode with active steady shot + 1.2x clear image zoom gives better result at 14,5mm than the noisy super 35 crop mode. If we use super 35 crop + act steady shot, it's ~18mm according. But this is the same when Viltrox's 16mm lens is used with act seady shot mode. I think the best way to use 11mm lens with act steady shot + breathing comp (so we don't lose eye tracking) and a little correction in Davinci.
Definitely looking to upgrade my lens after having my new Sony A6100 for a year! I want to use this lens for vlogging, podcasts and just creating content in general for TikTok and TH-cam shorts! I hope this lens will be amazing with it!
Could you tell me bro, which external mic are u using for your daily vlog with zv e10, which already u shown this video.? 🙏 Besides, well explained about lens, such as u delivered precisely every variety of traits.
Hi, I'm pretty new to APS-C cameras since I use Sony full frame A7riv camera. If I mount this lens on my camera, will the focal length stay the same, 11 mm, or it will in APS-C mode crop it and change the focal length?
Amazing.... The great photos that this lens take... and excellent combination with the new Sony zve10... But if you have Sony zve10 and Sony a6400, what is your preference? and why? And I know that this lens in comparative with G Master line had a great different in construction materials but to result in picture quality and sharpness, what lens do you like? or the picture quality depends of the construction materials?
Best video I’ve seen so far, I love the vlog it shows the quality, I’m on the fence between this setup and the nikon z30 with the viltrox 13 mm, do you have any advice? I’m looking for a light setup with good colors? Keep up the awesome work mate🤘🏽🔥!
i used this with a FF a7iii. dude that sells it doesn't recommend it. Was it a bad investment? If it is im probably gonna sell it as its still brand new. I love the lens though.
Hey. It will change the faces if i film closely a face with that lens (on the zve10) ?? I saw on the internet, when we film with a lens like this, if we film closely a face it will be horrible. True ? Because i really need to do close angles on faces, but also having a very wide angle indoors. (Sorry for my english)
I have a Canon M50 aps-c with the Laowa 9mm f2.8 = 13mm full frame equivalent. Which has proven to be very capable shooting real estate for about 8 months now. I had a Sigma 16mm f1.4 which is the sharpest and best lens I ever had shooting in very low light situations. But certainly not wide enough for real estate. This Sony 11mm f1.8 looks like it will do well shooting real estate but not as wide as the Laowa 9mm. My only gripe about this Laowa is it's not as sharp at the corners as I would like. Is this Sony 11mm sharp at the corners?
Probably the only thing holding me back from getting the ZVe10 is this no stabilization. For some of the no cut runs that i would like to do it’s just soooo shaky. Hope that release a V2 someday that has this feature (and 4k60)
Recently picked up the Sony 15mm 1.4, which is awesome. Considered the 11mm 1.8 but worried about distortion with portraits (yeah, it’s not a portrait lens, but the 15 gives me more flexibility for portraits).
Hi Jason Thanks for great video and information you have provided us as usual, I bought this lens (brand new) and when I use it on Sony ZV E10 it keeps focus changing from my face and background (I use ND filter and lowest aperture), it happens even when I use it with zhiyun crane 3 and sit down on a chair in park , is it something wrong with the lens or with my camera settings you think? Thanks for your help in advance 🙏
Looks great. I own the SEL16F28, and I think this would be a better setup for my vintage :) Alpha NEX-7. For sure better for video, and the avility to switch from AF to MF with the flip of a switch. I also own the SAL70300G, so I know how nice having that avility to just flip the switch is.
Cannot refute. I really dig this little guy. I have two setups. An fx3 upon which lives the 14mm GM. A ZV-E10 upon which lives this lens. The latter is just fun to walk around with, the former for more critical filming. I guess I just dig the wide angle look. Sony, if you are reading the comments, it's time for new crop bodies. It's really really time. Please do us a solid.
Your daughter seems like such a happy baby! Her humming and singing along in the background was so cute 🥹

Wow!!
haha yep. I have already done that but I wanted this video to be for the APS-C users
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Yup…very much the “hidden secret” that I have not seen mentioned about this lens yet. Pretty spectacular secret!
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema I would love to see that! 🥹🥹
Amazing! What if you turned on active stabilization? Would we be able to crop less in Clear Image Zoom
Sony 11/1.8 is amazing lens for apsc. I have it on my a6700, autofocus is great.
Have you done Landscape Stills. I'm interested to see some examples.
If u hv any videos captured with can u share??
Just bought one for my FX30, largely in part to your review! I do a lot of action comedy shorts and love wides so I’m stoked for this thing!
Guys, don’t buy any new gadgets until you can afford. Credit card bills are not worth.
Amen
Always the case with anything in life
Learned the hard way 😢
Depends , some of us like to get cash back and points on cards .
@@lucrativestance I understand. I was one of you.
Your kid is so sweet! Brilliant video, definitely going to be saving up to upgrade to this lens.
Thank you for that beautiful, however brief, glimpse of New Zealand! Your daughter is absolutely adorable and you are clearly very loving parents.❤️
Thanks Jason, got one of these babies just yesterday and I'm so excited to use it on an imminent project!
I just bought this for an upcoming Alaska trip. I'm even more pumped now! Great video, and your daughter is adorable!
Would like to see the photos
What setup you use in the last of this video, thats video quality is amazing plz share lens and camera model
I got an A6700 and bought just the 11mm lens for it.
I found no flaws in it, I can hardly believe how good it is.
A Viltrox 23mm is on the way, since ultrawide isn't for everything...
Do you think this would be a good lens to buy together with the new a6700? For everyday use, but for some nightlife work, clubs, events, etc?
Me too, I pre-ordered the A6700 and this is what I ordered.
Ordered! What a great vlog lens this will make!
Thank you bro. I consider it to pair with my a6600. Is it any good too?
Thanks for doing this Jason! I was first hooked-on the sony 15mm f/1.4, but you just sold me on getting the 11mm, as it can serve both as a main camera in the studio, and importantly, for vlogging.
If the price doesn't matter, Sony 11mm or Sony 15mm? I need it for my travel videos and vlogging.
love this video! i just ordered my zv-e10 and the 11mm lens! super excited! beautiful family by the way!
Have you put this on a full frame? If so, how does it perform and how much crop?
Can you compare it with the sigma 10-18 f2.8?
for northern lights, would 11mm f1.8 be better or 15mm f1.4G ?
How do you feel about using this lens for gym content ? Im in between this or the sel16f28
Amazing quality and sooo small and light. I MUST HAVE IT.
Which lens and camera was you using at the end by the mountain bro 🔥
This would go well with the Sony A74 when it's in the Super 35mm mode.
My combination for the Sony A74 for filming would be.
10-20mm lens
Tamron 17-70mm
Sony 24-105
Absolutely
Yup. My fleet consists of an fx30 and 2 A7IV bodies with premium apsc glass for filming
As always, such a great video and so helpful. Jason, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience!
Have you tried the Laowa 9mm? I’m between the 9mm and Sony 11mm for real estate
Great review excited about this lens! Thankx boss
Thanks a lot for this review :)

What audio setup do you have? The clarity on some or the shots are incredible.
Hi Jason Tks for the video reviewing Sony Sel11F18
may I know is the ZV-E10 Caner have Stabilization, and if you don’t mind May I know the model of the microphone
I saw attached on the camera. I am interested to purchase. Tks
Hey! Would this lense be suitable for real estate videography on A7IV? Thanks!
Hey, what variable nd filter to use with this lens? 55mm or some 82mm with some step-up ring's?
hi jason, witch one would you consider for real estate vidéo between this one or the 10-20 F4 on a6600? thx
Certainly completes the Sony APSC lens line up. Makes the ZVE10 now a great little setup
absolutely. Glad sony are looking after APS-C users
What if I have the a6100
@@CLVlogs05 still good because glass is what matters. You could be taking bangers with 6100 meanwhile people might suck with zv e 10 or A7 line up
Is the Sony E 11mm a better choice for Astro and landscape photography compared to the 15mm, Jason?
Most likely yes due to the extra width
That mhmm at 4:48 was very cute 🤣
Ya
Really love the way this looks on the ZV-e10. I’m on the hunt for the next lens for my ZV-e10 for video (especially this new YT channel) and this lens is moving up on my list! Love your content dude!
Hey man, were you able to buy and test this lens to zv e10? I am interested to know. Thanks.
@@maryaiky not yet! It’s next on the list for me.
I ended up going with some Sigmas:
16mm f1.4
56mm f1.4
And the 18-500mm f2.8
@@MichaelHeredia great choices. I heard sigma 16mm is a god tier. Im seeing good comments about Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 too, and a couple of youtube channel said that viltrox is better than sigma 16mm. So I am confuse lol
Almost fisheye to me. Maybe too wide?
If you compare this lens with sigma 16.mm, wich one sharper?
Would you rather use this or viltrox 13mm 1.4
Well depends on the job but the sony is more expensive but also wider. If you really need that width, the 11mm is the winner

If you had to choose one:
Would you oick the Sony 11mm 1.8 or the Tamron 11-20mm 2.8 ?
Depends what it is needed for but I do prefer primes. That is just my opinion
11mm 1.8 on a a7iv, can I use a nd filter size of 67mm step down to 55mm, will it cause any vignetting, I am shooting in 4k24fps with active stabilization, thanks a lot!
Hi Jason
What about stability in regards to hand handled photography and videography?? Is this lens shaky? Since this is not having OSS. I am having A6400 hence asking
I love the a6400 for photography but the downside for video is no ibis.
Is this suitable for interior photography?

What filter you are using on the 11mm lens?
I want to buy this Lens and the Sony zv-e10 for vlogging but neither the camera or lens has image stabilisation, is that a dealbreaker?
Hello Jason!!! Really like your videos!!! Just want to ask what picture profile did you use for zv-E10,The skin colour looks great!!!!!
1:41 "It has a wide aperture of 11 millimeters" 😂
That lens look amazing! What you think about using on sony a7iv to get some wide shot in 4k 60? .
That would be my reason to get it
@@sidehustlers336 yes! I buyed recently the a7iv but sometimes I need that wide view maybe it's a cheap option with great AF.

In search of a lens for astrophotography, this lens looks great.
Very good for that

Its an apsc camera lens so it means, 1.5x crop of APSC sensor so 11x1.5 so it gives an output of 16.5 mm look? Am I right?
