Best Sony ZV-E10 Lenses APS-C & How They Work For Beginners

[@Jason_Hermann]

Hello, I just published a Full Frame E-Mount Lens version of this video with the new ZV-E1 in mind for those interested here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6rMfGV6bqyIsMU

[@Izzy4shizzy97]

What lens would be best for car photography/ videography and outdoor sports ?

[@Mallickproductions]

we all are the sponsor of the video this is the best line I have ever heard. I am flabbergasted.

[@crystalkewe]

Oh my goodness! This is by far the best review of the lineup of sony lenses to choose from for the ZVE10. Thank you so much Jason! I must have watched over 10 reviews on the lenses by now, but couldn't find anyone who provided such a visual rundown of how these lenses actually function in a real-life setting. I know how much time and effort is put into making such videos, so I just want to say, that you nailed this one off the park mate. I now know what lens to go with!

[@shaan5370]

And which lens u bought

[@grandscent]

I don't usually subscribe channels but I had to because you replied to almost all comments and queries. I got myself a new zv e10 and as a beginner, seeing you very helpful to other e10 owners is very encouraging for me to click the subscribe button!

[@Jason_Hermann]

Thank you :)

[@vulrax]

I want to shoot youtube videos at arms length in aps-c camera and i also want background blur because of messy room should i use kit lens or sony 16mm f2.8 and will 16mm be okay?? PLEASE HELP

[@Jason_Hermann]

Sigma 16mm f/1.4 Lens geni.us/Inpzgn or Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 lens geni.us/VFg9X would be my recommendations for that... The 16mm f/2.8 will work, and at arms length it will be mostly just your head and shoulders in view, but the f/1.4 lenses will provide a much blurrier background.

[@mickcoleman4704]

Jason, I’m just starting out as a vlogger. (I’m 62 😊). I have to say your videos are super helpful. You explain things so clearly. I bought the ZVE10, and a DJI RS3 Mini. For lens I’ve only got the kit lens right now, though I have been gifted an ef-se lens adaptor with auto focus. Do you have a video on recommended canon lens that I could use in differing situations whilst using the adapter? Many thanks. Ps - I unsubscribed other channels to focus on yours because quite simply yours are the simplest to understand.

[@Jason_Hermann]

Hey there, and I'm sorry but I don't have a video on which Canon EF lenses to get for adapting to Sony cameras.... However with that being said, any of the newer EF lenses should work great for photos all be it a bit slower to focus due to the adapting and all... As far as what lenses specifically? Hard to say, but I used to love my EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS Lens in particular for a do everything option. I also used the EF 17-40mm f/4 L Lens a lot for landscapes and stuff. For portraits I would use the EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS Lens and the EF 135mm f/2 L Lens for some reference. I hope that helps, Jay

[@JessMessSupply]

I've been watching lens videos for the last 3 hours and you clearly put a lot of work into this. Thank you... Great Job ❤

[@GondiZalvus]

Jason, you really impressed me. Your vlogs are really more educational and in depth. I am just going into photography after about a decade of not. In a very real sense, am a beginner again. Thank you, I just subscribed.

Jason I just watched every single video you made about the ZV-E10. You're doing an great job and you are a very good teacher. I'm new to videography and photography and your 1h30 video which includes theory and real life examples you shot yourself was immensely useful. Keep up the good work ! Free tip : With your expertise you could do more generalist and camera-agnostic videos about photo and/or video theory. I reckon such videos would bring a lot of long-term views to you channel, especially with you skills.

[@davidAllright]

Sigma 16mm is missing in this list... Awesome comparison... Thank for putting lot of efforts... 👏👏

[@Jason_Hermann]

Thanks David for the comments and kind words :) This one took me a while to put together.... To your point, the reason I did not include the Sigma 16mm in this list is because the New Sony 11mm f/1.8 Lens and the Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 lens are better options in my opinion. Before these two new lenses, the Sigma 16mm was king for sure ;) All the best, Jay

[@artistjoh]

@@Jason_Hermann The 16 Sigma is not replaced by eith the 13 or 11. It is a 24mm equivalent, the 13 is 20mm equivalent, and the 11 is 16.5mm equivalent all of which are valuable focal lengths, and each with pros and cons. I could make a case for collecting all three over time. I have the Sigma 16mm. I will get the Sony 11 next and when I win a lottery I will add the Viltrox 13. I don't care about the blurry backgrounds, but f1.4 is valuable for exposure in lower light.

Best video on lenses for ZV E10 I am watching right now with excellent informations! Just 2 days before I purchased that camera with lenses, but now I am thinking why I couldn't see your video before because I am feeling these other lanses purchase separately can be a much better option than sony camera kit lense. Thank you so much for this information 😊

[@MollyFitzBrown]

Do you always shoot in 24fps? I always use 30 but would like to skip out on that extra crop in the zve10 when using 30, do you think I'd see a difference if I switched over to 24?

I would try 24 Molly!

[@KristianPage]

Love the MTB footage man. Thanks for the awesome video. I went for the Sony E 11mm.

[@Esturricado358]

First! After seeing a lot of videos explaining about photography, i believe you did the best job covering all the topics. I Just got my a6700 and really love the street photography, but i'm in a little doubt which lens to buy, i know people goes from 15mm to 50mm for street photo, but i want to choose one to start, what lens you considering to be the best for street photography? price and weight i know are important, but focusing in best at all even if it's very expensive. Thank you so much

[@Jason_Hermann]

For street photography I prefer using a fast prime lens, something like the Sigma 33mm, because it's very lite weight as well, however a versatile zoom like the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 lens would be a great option. I really like the f/1.4 lenses though and the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 lens is extra awesome, but so large and heavy compared to the Sigma 33mm it's a hard choice depending on how fat the walk is... Those are my thoughts, but it really depends on what you like to shoot and how you view things. A lot of people prefer a wide angle lens for street if there more into architecture for example, so if that is you the 11mm or 13mm lenses might be worth considering.

[@timgleaves9496]

Great information! I really appreciate it. What really helped was when you compared the video lenses all in a row to show the difference.

[@jonabad]

This was great, thanks! Hearing and seeing the numbers is one thing but seeing the differences in the images, is wonderful.

[@Jason_Hermann]

Glad you enjoyed it and I totally agree about seeing them demonstrated one after another. Very eye opening to people new to lenses and all their various focal lengths and aperture differences.

Hi, I recently bought the zv e10, I already own the Nikon d5200, should I sell the Nikon + Tamron 70-300 and invest in better lenses for the Sony?

[@eckofame]

Which is the best for photography

[@Jason_Hermann]

That is very hard to say and depends on your budget and shooting style. If you are unsure on which focal length to get, for a prime lens then I would go with one of the zoom lenses in your budget. The Sigma or Tamron zooms are great options and links in the description below video...

[@PattymacMakes]

Gosh this is thorough! Thank you! I'm so interested in the camera to use instead of the my Nikon Z6 for making videos for my youtube channel.

[@Blair332]

Great video! My question is, which budget lens is suitable for sports photography, indoors or outdoors?

[@Jason_Hermann]

Indoors requires a very fast aperture lens due to the horrible lighting, where as an outside requires way more zoom in general and the fast aperture is not as important. So there really is not one best for all in these cases.

[@ShobaSadler]

From 7:30 - 8.00 of this video we see you riding on your bicycle. May I ask how you took those action shots please? How you set up your camera to capture how you jump over humps and winding, bumpy paths amongst trees?

[@Jason_Hermann]

It was a time consuming process of setting the camera up on a mini tripod, setting the focus and the camera to HD/ 120p video format, then recording.. I would have to do the turns twice, because I only had the one camera. So coming into the turn I would get a clip, and then I would move the camera and go back so I can do the turn again and catch the exit for example. I would then go back again to get the camera and set-up for the next turn... I then cut all those separate clips together in final cut, and because I recorded in 120p frame rate, I can slow-motion any of the footage for effect... Here is a 120p slow-motion tutorial I made if you are interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmeUeoGaq659fas

ahhh yes, reptiles are so cool and a macro lens is perfect for those details. The FE 50mm geni.us/hDAV is an excellent option for a reasonable price point and the FE 90mm geni.us/47JRv0w is the really awesome option which will allow you to be further away from your subject and still get the killer detail plus the optics are insanely good.

[@kevlar1386]

Which lens is best for podcast interviews

[@Jason_Hermann]

Well that really depends how far people are from the camera and how much of the room you would like to show in relation to your subject. For me, I would like something like the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Lens (geni.us/Emr2pam), but the camera and lens would need to be about 4-6 feet away. If you want to show the desk and the person talking you will need something wider like the 16mm f/1.4 lens (geni.us/Inpzgn) Or you could go with a more versatile zoom lens which would give you a variety of ranges to chose from such as the Sigma 18-50mm (geni.us/OXPD6) or the Tamron 17-70mm (geni.us/d3s70B) for example...
