This was perfect. Your photo examples with the zooms and etc were great at demonstrating real results. Made me realize that with these "cheaper" lenses, I can do all that I wanted do with photography in the first place.

This is exactly the information I needed, thank you!

So it's just after 8AM here, and my wife is still sleeping in the other room. As I'm watching this, with headphones, suddenly I hear my fire alarm blare from the other room catching me totally off guard, and making me nearly jump out of my skin... except it wasn't my fire alarm... it was a, "Are you awake yet?" test Scott placed at 7:50. You got me Scott, you got me... ;)

Hahaha, sorry about that! It's tricky to balance levels for both speakers and headphones haha. Glad to hear it woke you up though ;)

Was indecisive about purchasing until I saw your video, thanks! Buying tomorrow.

Thank you Scott!

Wainting for mine!

Do you shoot it on crop mode or full frame?

Great review - I'm looking for a 16mm equivalent for APSC without breaking the bank, this is a definite possibility.

This lens is ideal for skaters. Super wide, but affordable. Lots of risk getting that close to a skateboard!

thanks for this. i made the switch to sony from Canon about a year ago, and COMPLETELY overlooked skate photography/filming. i'm not a young buck anymore, but back in my young days i spent almost all day every day filming skateboarding and making videos. i don't get out in the trenches as much anymore, but i'd love the ability to shoot some skateboarding every now and again. so i was heartbroken to find out that Sony (and Canon, really) doesn't really offer much in the way of fisheyes for their mirrorless setups. Canon still has their very popular EF Fish-eye, and they have some weird dual lens fisheye, which i think is ONLY for VR? I'm not sure. I was legit planning on rigging out like an old Canon 6D or even maybe a 5D Mark II or something with their EF lens, but thankfully I found this one.

Good job I bought the lens!

Which sony camera did you used with ? I got a 6500, 22 millions pixels.

I am new to this channel. Nice seeing shots from Japan. Especially having to cancel my trip to Kyoto this year. Is it hard to defish this one?

Thanks for watching! It's too bad you had to cancel, hopefully you'll get the chance again! I love Kyoto and I'm dying to go back myself. At 11mm it does take a bit of effort to defish it depending on the lines in your photo (or lack of them)... with the APS-C crop, it's a bit easier. Honestly though, I generally like to just embrace it with a lens like this and haven't tried messing with defishing all that much.

Nice

How would you compare this lens to the samyang 12mm 2.8 Fisheye for IQ and build on the sony a7 riv

@ScottDumas

3 жыл бұрын

I used a Samyang fisheye a while ago, and it might not be the same as the one for E Mount (it was years ago and on a Nikon DSLR)... but I think it would be hard to beat this TTArtisan lens in either area both from my memory using that lens and just judging how well built and fairly strong performing this one is.

Can you do a comparison with the 7artisans Photoelectric 7.5mm f/2.8 for apsc? Which one is wider and which one is sharper? Thanks for the great video!

Hi there I see your using on a full frame and stating its a full frame lense, but obviously on sales it just e mount which is crop sensor, does this lense require you to turn your full frame sony camera to crop mode

For fisheye lens, you dont check the fov in distance, but rather the actual value in degrees. This one gets you 180°

can you use an nd filter?

Would this lens not be good for video?

@ScottDumas

It could, depending on the situation. As a fisheye, it will be a very unique style/look and one that you'd probably only use in certain situations. Also, since it's a manual focus lens you'll need to pay attention to that a little bit but since the depth of field is so deep at 11mm, it shouldn't be much of a problem. Size-wise, it's pretty small so could work well on a gimbal, and maybe if you use APS-C crop mode, the fisheye effect will be minimized and it'll just be a more standard ultra wide angle. Hope that helps.

is this lens full frame?
