This channel is way underrated. I haven't seen such a comprehensive and detailed explanation of this matter elsewhere. The video came up by keyword search as I'm about to buy the ZV E1 with a big crop when using dynamic active stabilization, that's why I'm looking for a lens that could compensate it. Thank you for making everything clear for me.

I did this video just before the release of the ZV E1 and thought the same thing about how well it would work with DAS.

As a bonus the ZV-E1 still has eye AF even with dynamic stabilization and clear image zoom on top of that. It's a great lens the problem for me is the focal length itself way too much distortion on faces and anything near the edges. Great video, lots of useful info.

Great video. Really appreciated the visual examples…made so much more sense to me. I found your page as I purchased the 11mm/f1.8 used, then realized it’s an APS-C, so feeling a little buyers remorse. To have the visuals and the instruction to make it more effective I am feeling much better about it! Subscribed and looking forward to learning so much more from your page. Thanks!!!

I like using the old sony pancake lenses on full frame mode such as the 16mm f2.8 or 20mm f2.8 and you can add the Wide angle converter or fisheye converter to go wider. its fun to use in tight spots such as cars, small rooms, vlogging, airplanes etc..

thanks for this really quality-made review. exactly helpful tests + recalculating real equivalents after active IS. and even no useless unpacking section for prolonging the video. much recpects for the effort

I'm trying to buy a wide-angle lens for aps-c with a full frame lens. So I watched various videos while searching, and this video did the best analysis. It has all the information I want. Thank you for showing and comparing various lenses. I hope this channel grows more!

love your tests, subscribed, all in fan

Thank you, , this is only one video without any marketing bullshit - just user experience. Thank you again, you helped me to make my mind clear about that lens.

Thanks, I appreciate that. It's always fun to do a video when you have no obligations or agenda.

Thanks you for the size camparision. Loved it. Super helpful.

it's also worth noting the minimum focus distance is also only 4.7" I was hoping you'd cover that a bit, but this still exceeded my expectations. thanks for the video.

Excellent! Cheers!

This is excellent!

Thanks for that review, you really put a lot of interesting details into this, and your diagram gave me all kinds of ideas. I use that lens on APCS 6700. The one unavoidable problem for me, is with group shots, its too easy to make everybody look terrible with the 11mm lens. I'd need a 16mm lens to get 24mm on my crop frame camera. I think so many movie directors use 24mm as their widest frame, because beyond that, stuff starts to distort in all kinds of nasty ways... People tell me to get a zoom, but I'm up on a mountain 6000 feet, serious low light every evening.

very helpful. my 10-18 recently died and i'm looking for something to help me replace it. it's not easy to find comparison videos when using apsc lens on full frame. thanks!

Thank you very much!

Sony autofocus in clearview zoom is still better than Panasonic.......

Do you know clear image zoom save position after turn off camera?

Hey Andrew! I really appreciate all the great information in your video. Im hoping you can lend some advice with regards to some of my needs and wants that i wish to achieve with a lens like this. As i'm on a budget, i'm trying to find something that could work for real estate videography/photography (in which i would be shooting 4k60 on the A7IV) and possibly some astrophotography for fun (i would probably aim for 16mm, which in theory would work in APS-C? (i don't know if this would be stupid to take away from the full sensor)) Thanks a lot!!!

The lens that has most recently caught my eye in the range you mention is the Viltrox 16mm F1.8. The reviews have been quite good and the price is hard to beat. I have no personal experience with it but it’s worth investigating.

Thx!

Great video, thanks. Sony 11mm looks just good enough for video on A7IV. Who is more into photography Laowa 12mm seems a better choice, and you already have all that so you're good. Cheers.

Great video! I appreciate the calm delivery! Based on your video, my assumption is that with the ZV-E1 and Dynamic Active stabilization (about 1.3x) it would be fine and a great 14-15mm AFTER the stabilization. Would you agree?

I don’t have any experience with that camera, but my expectation is that it would be perfect for that. I’ve actually wanted to try it for myself. Even if there is a bit of vignetting, you could still crop it out.

@AndrewVanBeekOttawa

I haven't actually compared side by side but I think the A7IV is cleaner because of the over-sampling and higher top clean ISO (3200 for the A7IV).

Hello Andrew, thank you for this video, I learned a lot from it. I am looking for a cheap ultra-wide FAST lens for my sony a7iii. I am shooting events, and would use it mostly for stills and from time to time for video. My first question is: I learned that there is some degradation in its low-light capabilities when used in FF mode? Like...how could you measure its results? Around F2 or even 2.8? My second question is: Is it worth it, to save some bucks and go for this lens in comparison to the Sony 20mm 1.8? I understood that you gain some space (it is equivalent to 14mm in stills, not 16mm, right?) but then you lose some resolution because you have to crop? Some mm's more are always great, but is it worth the loss of resolution? What is your opinion? Thanks :)

@AndrewVanBeekOttawa

Жыл бұрын

You will definitely see a degradation in low light quality but it depends on what ISO you’re using. With your A7III you’re cropping from 24Mp to 16Mp and expanding that noise. You can test this out by running some cropping tests at various ISOs. I personally never use anything slower than F1.8 indoors. I have both the 11mm and the 20mm for video and love them both. The 20mm gets used the most because I rarely need much wider but when I do need it, it’s worth having a tiny, not-so-crazy-expensive lens that requires a little extra effort to make work. I do enjoy editing though.

Very informative, thank you! I wanted you to ask about an nd for this lens, what filter size it should be? Can I just slap 2 slim 55mm filters one being nd and second being glimmerglass, for example? Would it introduce vignetting? I saw from video that you have used step up rings and a bigger filter size nd. Is that what you recommend? I have 3 lenses all being 55mm filter thread I do I have to buy additional nd for this lens if I consider it to buy? thanks!

That’s a good question but one I can’t answer since I don’t have a 55mm VND to try. I would be hopeful that the crop that is introduced by using the methods that I mention, would eliminate that but I can’t say for certain.

​@@dzheyd9609Hey! I just recived my Sony ZV E10 and this 11 mm lens. It is my first camera 😁 Not sure what ND filter to choose for this wide angle to avoid vignetting... someone told me is better to buy fixed ND filters, not variable. And also use a big stepup ring. Can you recommend me a brand? Maybe you can tell me exactly what you use for your 11 mm? Thanks!

@dzheyd9609

​@@claudiubanu8438 Hi, regarding ND I use K&F variable nd filters, and do recommend them. If you are just starting its the best and easiest way to get familiar with this tool. Dont buy the cheapest K&F nd but only those who have hard stops at the ends. I recommend K&F 2-5 stop or 3-8 stop nds from this brand. Those which are 2-400 or 2-2000 are almost trash. Fixed NDs are more for professionals and big heavy rigged setups. And 11mm 1,8 is not that kind of lens. If you put both 55mm nd and mist filter you may encounter a vignetting, so I recommend using bigger filter with step up ring. I recommend to buy a step up ring from 55mm(which Sony 11mm uses) to 67mm. Use 67mm variable ND filter because it is most versatile filter thread for Sony lenses(especially all Tamron lenses are 67mm).

According to this video super 35 crop mode uneccessary because in this mode we get much more noise. If we use full frame mode with active steady shot + 1.2 clear image zoom we get enough crop to avoid vigneting. I see better this option than using super 35 crop mode and this wa we get 14,5mm opopsite 16,5mm. But. instead of clear imahge zoom did you think about act steady shot + breathing compensation? It is also a crop and with breathing compensation it should work every focus function. It could be a solution not to lose the eye tracking. I don't have this lens yet so I can't try it but I'd liket to buy one, because this is the cheapest way to get 14-15mm wideangle lens with filter possibility. Thanks for this video!

thank you for the honest review, makes my decision clear not to get the lens

Great video! In your oppinion, for real estate video, which one would be the best? Laowa 9 mm or Sony 11 mm? Thanks!❤

No, it’s actually using a cropped portion of the sensor. It’s not taking the full frame, 7K image and squeezing into APSC size.

Does gyro data is still collecting? I think no, so no Good for vlogging. Besides it does not use eye focus. Its super yummy but not for vlogging unfortunatly. Thanks for Good review!
