I agree with everything you said. I use this lens on my FX30 on a Zhiyun Crane M3 and love the small form factor!

Thanks so much David! I'll check out your channel and sub!

This set up is so good

Great review Shane! I just purchased this one (used) at b&h and I’m looking forward to try it on Sony a6300 (which I also got used this year 2024) I’m also a fan of into the blues. Peace!

Well basically EVERYTHING you said and why you purchased that lens, are the same reasons I got it for my self when I preorder my FX30 at launch, it’s the best lens for my needs as well, I wanted the best feature rich wide prime from Sony with the best in class autofocus, and this is it, not too wide, it’s just wide enough, fantastic lens, I’ve had it for months now and have 0 regrets, great video as always Shane 👌🏻

Awesome, Andy. Thanks for the affirmation on this. It's a great little lens and it's a great match for the FX30 body. It's portable and enjoyable to use. Did you ever see it hunt a bit too much with the AF speed or sensitivity up too far? I found 4 and 4 to be about the sweet spot.

@@GeekyNerdyTechy my pleasure ! And to answer your question, actually no I haven’t seen it hunt actually, like you said at arms length is the best distance and that’s about how I use it, but I’ll test it out further and see the results.

How about lowlight

@AndyLSB

Жыл бұрын

​@@jaymills1720 I have no issues, Full frame users have contaminated the community with their high ISO need and their "low light" king cameras like the A7SIII, FX3, FX6, the truth is that if you need to use that high of an ISO in a camera, that means you're not lighting properly or not using the proper lens, I've shot up to 4000 ISO with my FX30 with no problem, by lighting properly you can't tell if there's noise in the Image (my lights are not that powerful that's why I've use up to 4000) but still, I'm a MFT user by choice, I've had no issue, so don't worry about youtube "filmmakers" when they say that the FX30 is not a good "lowlight" camera, its ridiculous (I'm not talking about Shane here) just remember that a couple of years ago, we didn't had cameras with this good ISO performance and filmmakers and videographers managed to work with their limitations, just learn to expose and you'll be fine with whatever camera you choose, that's my advice.

Ok youve sold me on the fx30 and this lens, now the waiting game.

It is also a great Lens for still photography !

Thank you!

Definitely a good and awesome lens

The 58mm filter with a step up ring won't reduce vignetting since the slightly bigger filter doesn't make up for the added distance from the lens introduced by the step up ring. You should step up to at least 62mm, rather 67mm.

I bought this lens yesterday so far amazing lens and it looks beautiful on my Sony A6700

Awesome mate, glad you dig it! :)

F stop is the ratio of the focal length to the aperture, it has nothing to do with sensor size. A crop sensor will give a narrower field of view for a particular lens, and will receive less light (and hence require a higher gain setting for a particular exposure) than a FF frame sensor, but the properties such as depth of field will be exactly the same. Depth of field does NOT change just because your sensor size has changed. Visually, it will look like you cropped in on the subject, but pixel for pixel everything else will be exactly the same. The 15mm F1.4 lens is a 15mm F1.4 lens irrespective of whether it is attached to a crop sensor or full frame sensor camera. An APS-C lens is smaller because the glass elements do not have to produce as big an image on the sensor but beyond that the optical qualities remain the same.

I'm talking equivalents so people know what to expect

Interesting. Ordered a Sigma, saw other comparisons which showed better flare, rounder bokeh which mattered more to me. But I can see the plus sides of the Sony.

Excellent video. Answers a lot of my questions ( especially comparing it with the 24mm f/1.4 ), I am planning to use the same combo of FX30 with 15mm f1/1.4). Would you recommend a 20mm f/1.8 as an addition to this setup ?

@GeekyNerdyTechy

Ай бұрын

I'd probably go something more like 35mm for a 50mm equivalent so you have two really unique fields of views.

Thank you for the video. Just curious what mic you use for the ZV-E10 because it sounds great in the video

Start at F5.6 and see how you go. It really depends on what you are shooting and how close you are to the subject. If nothing is close in the foreground that's a good starting point.

Here’s a question. If 1 already owns 14mm Gm does it make sense to purchase this aspc lens? Weigh savings being non factor?

It's probably not worth it unless you want to downsize the rig.

I have this lens for my a7iv is it worth it to buy the 24mm gm lens ? Or theres no visible difference

@GeekyNerdyTechy

Ай бұрын

There's a difference optically. The GM is a lot better with chromatic aberration, but otherwise it's pretty close colours and contrast-wise.

So FX30 or S52? Which one fits your workflow best?

@GeekyNerdyTechy

Жыл бұрын

The Lumix S5II is my favorite camera right now. I actually ended up getting two of them and moving some old gear off. The FX30 was a cheaper way for me to complete my Sony multi-camera setup for other projects so I didn't have a hodge-podge of different color science. They are both great in their own way. The Lumix gear has been my favorite for years but I love using all kinds of gear to see how it works out.

I'm less than 1/4 of the way through your video and I'm frustrated. You are great on camera and editing is solid, BUT there are way too many clips of you holding the camera and lens. I am looking at this combo (or maybe a6700) and this is the perfect subject, and you are really good at explaining it, but I want images FROM the camera/lens, not OF the camera/lens. Your images of you holding this setup are so good, it makes me want to know what you are shooting on. Rant over. If it makes you feel any better, I am liking and subscribing. Now I plan to go back and watch until the end. [Update] Lot's of great video from the camera and lens. I trust what you are saying and enjoyed your video.
