Just purchased a Sony a5100 w/kit lens for some live streaming at the recommendation of another KZreadr/Streamer, and it should be here this week. The search for the "right" lens for me, though, has had me stressed... feeling like a need a college degree in photography to understand anything. Your video here did a few great things for me: 1) you reinforced my decision to pay the extra $50 for the kit lens, 2) you convinced me of the value of using the kit lens for a bit to see what settings will be best for my streaming setup, and 3) you really helped me with a base understanding of the jargon in the naming/classification of these lenses. Seriously - I'm feeling much less intimidated and significantly more patient. I'll be able to wait on an upgraded lens purchase now, thanks to you, and I'm much less likely to waste money on the wrong fit for me. THANK YOU for this video. Have a sub/follow!!

@@Zuchii I ended up going with the kit lens for a bit and I liked it... it was a good quality lens and even though the bokeh effect was less than I wanted, it worked VERY well. After about a month, though, I switched it up and went with this one: Sigma 16mm F1.4 (like in his description above). I'm not really streaming at all, but I use this every day as my telework camera... so I'm the best-looking manager on the conference calls in Teams/Zoom. :D

This was SO helpful! Thank you!

Great video at explaining the lens options. Thank you!

Bro you're so well spoken, you get every detail out in a consistent way without umming and ooing. This is literally the most helpful video I've ever seen. Much appreciated

This video is flipping perfect! Answered all my niche weird questions perfectly! Thanks a heap for taking the time to create, man!

Best explanation of lenses for webcams / streaming I've found. Thanks for taking the time to help a newcomer figure out what to get!

This is the exact video I've been looking such a long time for! Thanks man!

9:40 dude wtf this looks so good I thought this was a completely different room and setup

One of the best streaming camera vids i've seen! Great job :)

I just bought an a6000 and for now the kit lens will be perfect until I can grab a lens to get that shallow depth of field!

This is, hands down, the most relevant and helpful video for how to choose a lens for streaming. I already had a 35mm sitting in my cart, but now I understand there's absolutely no way it can fit in my current setup. Thanks so much!

I can’t explain how much your video helped me. This explained everything I was asking myself about lenses! Thanks a lot!

Agreed, what a great video!

Great video man! This is exactly what I was looking for; Condensed, digestible information. ^^

thank you so much!!!! the clarifications on details we need for streaming is *chefs kiss

A fantastic video that accurately demonstrates everything a beginner streamer would need to know about a beginner lens. And the explanation about the kit lens was fantastic because it probably saved everyone so much money! Including myself!

This was the best lens tutorial I have seen so far. Thank you!

Outstanding demonstration....to a relatively complex presentation on various camera lenses. Your background setup is artistic in itself. Love the cap....you persuaded me to subscribe.

You freaking deserver 1 million subs... you are awesome! I've never saw someone explain things like you do and using great examples!

You just answered ALL my questions in this video. Thank you!!

Hey Steggy. Great, great video. So helpful- thank you!

Best video I’ve watched so far!! Thanks for saving me from buying a 30mm lens when I already have the 15mm-50mm lens!!

Dropped a sub and liked the video, you are the only person who has truly helped me and were very specific. I appreciate you taking the time to do this to help newer people in this category!

Grade A video my man. You just earned a sub from me, not because I'm interested in your regular content necessarily but because I think you deserve the success. Good job keep it going! Best of luck! 👏🏼

Thank you for the examples! This got you a new subscriber 🥳

This was extremely helpful. Thankyou.

Most informational video, on this topic, on youtube. Appreciate you!

This channel is amazing man! Great job!

I used to be a professional photographer (Canon) and I watched this to the end! Very well articulated and definitely helped me learn some things about how Sony cameras work for live-streaming. Cheers!

Nice video. Thanks for showing off the lenses and giving us an idea of what to look for.

Really helpful, the explanation was crystal clear.

Holy crap this clears so much up with real world concrete examples. Thanks!

Thank you for this video! Really helped me understand all these numbers when looking at lenses

This is one of the best lenses for streaming videos so far. Thanks a lot for all the great information you put out. 👍

Keep up those videos it really helped me a lot to decide what to buy from the other video and now after watching this I know a lot of lenses for streaming and I did order the Sigma 16mm 1.4 after watching the other videos it looks amazing.

Thank you for this video and video about best cameras for streaming. All information needed and clearly explained. Now I know not only which camera I should buy, but also what lense I’ll purchase in addition to the kit one. Thank you!

This video is SO helpful, hope it gets a lot more views :)

Just came across this video after buying an A6600 w/kit (3.5-5.6 18-135mm) as well as the 18-50mm and the Sigma 18. Happy to know that my research matches mostly up to your recommendations. Planning on getting the 35mm once I get more money. Thank you for this well informed video. The demos were exactly what I needed.

This is the first video I saw of you. Don't even need a lense as of now but you explained it so nicely, so I stayed. Well done vid! Subscribed. :)

Helped a lot, thanks so much!

You did a great job making this simple.

Awesome video! Like how you broke it down simple and very good information thanks alot!

Thanks for this information. It really helped me figure out which lens I actually need for my camera

This is such an awesome video, Steggy youve done it again. The El Gato man

Great explanation- this was really helpful!

Thank you Brotha! After watching you vid I picked up the Sigma 16 mm 1.4 loves the comparison. It is freaking awesome!!!

I wish I could double link this. This video answered so many questions. It was funny Steggy said something and I thought "well what about this" and then he answers it right after. Spooky man :p thanks again! Great vid!

Great & helpful video, much appreciated man!

This was incredibly informative!!!!!

Awesome video! Would love to see a dive video into different dummy batteries for the Sony A5100!

This is an absolutely incredible video. Keep this up my friend.

Great simple to understand info which is perfect for a relatively new live streamer like me. Thanks!

Very informative man, thank you.

Very helpful content. Thank you from Germany

Thanks for the comparison. I just bought the sigma 16mm yesterday and have been looking for more videos talking about it

Very informative. You explained it in very great details. Thanks

Good info. Great job!

this is the best explanation of lenses for streamers on youtube. This deserves more views, bravo sir.

Thank you!! This video was the best

That was extremely helpful, thanks! 😀

Thank you for covering the basics for newbies like myself and going into detail with real-world scenarios. I now understand 16mm is wider than 20mm for example.

Thank you so much! This video taught me a lot!

Best video I’ve seen yet, makes sense now! Thx

Very well done - helped me make my decision.

This is insanely useful. Thank you man

Thanks... That was a very good summary of various lens and their behavior...

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Actually this is the best informative video on the subject !

Thanks, this was some great information.

Thanks from spain, this video is what I was looking for.

Thank you so much! This is an amazing explanation 👌🏻

Finally bit the bullet and bought some stuff to take it to the next level. Thankfully, my little sister is a photographer and she gave me some cameras and lenses to try out. Your video was very helpful. Thank you

This was the best lens video i have found for beginners and i have been digging. Thank you so much. Especially telling me to get kit lens on a5100.

This video was great thank you!

Thanks again for great content, please do more.

Im currently buying a second lense. Your video was the 6th video i watched on lenses but it was the most informative. Thanks Steggy.

Hi Steggy! What do you think of the Sony a6000? I saw that wasn't listed. Not sure if I missed it in the video - thank you!

Super helpful! Thanks!

Very informative. appreciated Steggy.

Absolutely amazing explanation!!

thanks dude, your video really gave me some knowledge on how lenses work. I just bought a Sony Alpha 6000

Nice video, and great advice! Liked and subscribed!

You just got another subscriber, you’ve really helped me.

Nice video!! I got the 5100 with the sigma 16mm f1 4 and i m in love with it. 🥰

Helpful vid. Thanks!

Really helpful tips and ironically I needed this yesterday before I bought a new lens lol

Thank you. It's all I wanted to know in regards to lenses focal length and aps-c sensor in Sony cameras. Good job!

Amazing video!! Thank you :D

Hey, there Steggy I'm a new follower to your channel and I liked the review. Even thou I'm a Panasonic fanboy, I was recently turned on to the Sony A6400 and Sigma 16mm lens for live streaming. I appreciate your commentary and I'm looking forward to more from you.

Suppppper helpful. Give thanks bro!

This is a fantastic video I learned a lot. should have wayyy more views!

Dude, great video!

Lots of good information. Great video!

Fantastic video very helpful.

Wow! super knowledgeable! Thank you

Great video, thanks!

Thanks dude for the info!

Great video dude. I just got an A5100 and am using with the kit lens as a top down art camera.. The kit lens almost seems like the best option because I like to be able to set the zoom level based on the project. I still need to get better with the configuration.

Thank you, i learned a lot.
