Sony 15mm f1.4 vs Sigma 16mm f1.4 vs Viltrox 13mm f1.4 with the ZV-E10

[@syedarmaghanhassan4652]

Such a lovely job this guy is doing. so much useful info without shiny intro and other time-wasting stuff

I decided to get the Viltrox 13mm. I like my 23mm so much, so Viltrox definitely speaks to me. I have the Samyang 12mm af, and have decided to keep it too. I got it really cheap and no reason to let it go. Good comparison -- sure helps make buying decisions. Cheers ...

That Viltrox is outstanding. Might as well keep the Samyang because it's so small and light that I'm sure it will come in handy. Thanks, J.R.!!

Great video! I love my Sigma 16mm f1.4, but the wide angle of the Viltrox is enticing. The Sony seems great, but since I recently bought the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8, I can't justify the price right now. I do have an idea for you though, coming from you saying you don't time to talk to us individually. I had the same issue, so here's how I addressed it. I run a channel that focuses on helping those new to PCs navigate custom and prebuilt system integrators. Very early on, I had far to many DMs asking for one on one help, so I changed the theme of my Twitch streams. I now help people on an individual basis through a queue. They give me their budget, what they intend to use it for, etc. and I find a system that seems right for them. It led to an additional revenue stream for the channel and I just made partner on Twitch (though I'd suggest you do something like this on KZbin instead). I know you're a very busy guy, especially since you upload more often than I do, but it could be a great way to interact with your viewer base and also gauge interest in topics for future content. I understand streaming isn't for everyone though, so I understand if the concept isn't too appealing. As a fellow comedian though (former in my case), it really can be a ton of fun for guys like us. What do you think?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I may stream one of these days soon - and this is a good idea. thanks

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Sigma f/1.4 16mm, Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner. Great review and comparison. But, for me, I think the Sigma 16mm and I have a thing going on. While the Sigma 16mm doesn't have an aperture ring, I actually prefer using the dial on my A7iv to adjust the aperture. So, yet, another win for the Sigma. Gotta get me the Sigma for my ZV-E10. Cheers.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

It’s a great combo

[@markwiemels]

So incredibly well covered. I think the Sony’s biggest resistance will be the price, it’s a lot of money for an aps-c prime, the other two are so good for the price point.

Just got the Sony Alpha email with the three APC lenses and immediately was wondering about how the 15mm was going to stack up against the Sigma 16mmm. And then, here is your video.

Which lens do you mean - as you can see, if you shine the sun directly into the lens - they all have flare. In fact, these three lenses are very good as opposed to something like the Samyang 12mm or many other lenses. All lenses will flare when you shine a bright light directly into them.

very good reviews. I'm missing something though. Most reviews talk alot about vlogging but what about travel videos. are these too wide? Would I be better off with a 35mm or 50mm equivalent? thanks.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

If you are just filming the area and not yourself close to the camea - the wide lenses can still work, but if you wan to get something closer to what the human eye sees, you would want a sigma 30mm f1.4 for example which would get you to around 45mm. But I would actually recommend the Sigma 18-50 2.8 for travel. I did a video on it and it’s such a great lens that will cover you for everything travelling, and it’s tiny.

[@KevinNordstrom]

I own the sigma 1.4 trio for canon efm mount. For the price they are excellent lenses that compete well with higher quality glass for sure. Ill never part with them even though i have better and bigger glass for fullframe. For travel and street photography, they are hard to beat.

those manual lenses are great values, but without autofocus and without the ability to use catalyst browse (it doesn’t work with manual lenses) they won’t be suitable for a lot of people. But for those who don’t mind manually focusing and don’t need the gyrodata, hard to beat the price.

However I would like to see the extent in which my ZV-E10 on the Zhiyun Crane M3 can handle it’s weight. Yeah I’m aware that you balanced this pretty alright in a previous video about the Zhiyun Crane M3 but I do wonder if prolonged use of a heavier setup would affect or damage the motors. Would love to hear what you think about this. 😃

The Sigma 16 is great for wide and video where you are close to the camera. Its amazing. But my suggestion is to take that 18-105 - use it a bunch and then you will find out what focal length you like.

When comparing to the new Sony 10-20mm. How is that constant f4, is bokeh still good?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

you won’r get much blur back there at f4 on a wide apsc lens

[@BlueBomberTurbo]

I've owned the Sigma 16 and Viltrox 13, and the Viltrox is definitely the winner, based mostly on bokeh smoothness. Both lenses are very sharp and AF well. They're similar in size and probably weight (don't remember the 16's feel offhand). Not a fan of the Viltrox's aperture ring, though, and it does get knocked off of auto every now and then, probably when mounting. But it's absolutely a keeper as long as you don't mind 20mm vs 24mm. For me, anything wider than 28mm creates unwanted distortion, so it's all the same till you get below around 18mm, where the need for wideness takes over. Somewhat niche use cases, but having a reliably sharp, fast, wide lens in that focal length definitely makes you want to use it more. I tend to use it in place of my Tamron 15-30 lead ingot when I want to travel light.

[@45eno]

Hi Mark, I bought the Ulanzi WL-3 after watching your previous video to upgrade my kit lens. And after watching this video from you, im very tempting to buy another lens e.g. the sigma 16mm f1.4, would you recommend me to upgrade it now, i feel like ill be wasting the WL-3 if i switch it to sigma lens in a few days only. Quite frustrating haha

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

the WL-3 is much wider than the 16. the 16 is as wide as the regular kit lens, The sigma 16 is fantastic for photos and the studio - the WL3 is great for having a super wide accessory for in tight vlogging. They are very different and you will not regret getting the Sigma 16.

What millimeter lens do you want if you’re shooting “KZbin shorts” that are vertical?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

For apsc? Probably a 30-35 because you won’t get warping at the top or bottom of the frame like you would with a wider lens. Look at the sigma 30mm 1.4

I founded your comment about viltrox is best for lowlight 13mm but its 0.5kg Sony is more than half weight .Sony 13mm is 2nd after Viltrox for lowlight vlogg? Camera not pointed into face

I think I might trade off and grab the sony . There so much different from weight different when I am using on the dji ronin sc2
