Hey mark I just started out filming KZbin restoration videos(inside) and I bought the zv-e10 with the sigma 16mm 1.4 But now having it, I also wanna use it for photography like portrets etc and was thinking off buying the sigma 30 and 56mm 1.4 Now I came across your video made me think would this be a better option then the sigma’s it would cost practically the same but I wouldn’t have to switch lenses when I’m taking my camera on a trip I really wanna hear your insights on this

[@markwiemels]

@@Stridonjerome I would buy this one, you can see what you will get from the photos in this videos. It’s pretty spectacular.

[@Stridonjerome]

@@markwiemelsthanks for the fast response would you recommend the tamron 18 to 300? because I have the sigma 16 already, and now I’m thinking I bought the 16 for nothing if I buy the 17-70 ?

[@markwiemels]

@@Stridonjerome the 16mm gives you f1.4. I would take the 17-70 over the 18-300, for the image quality and the f2.8.

I own a ZV-E10 & an A7 MK IV and honestly the ZV-E10 is freaking GREAT! It's a little beast! If SONY make the next version have less rolling shutter, it would be perfect! Great video, by the way! What a great all-round lens! X

I managed to grab this lens in a sale for £500 ($640) and I see it’s as an absolute bargain as it’s basically 3 or 4 lenses in one with that focal range- absolute beast of a lens!

[@seanmartinflix]

I don't know about this particular lens i've never used it. But I'll tell you what I get amazing videos and photos out of my zv-e10 . The right lenses makes The difference. This lens looks very intriguing. I was one of those people that was very disappointed with the kit lens. Now After getting a few primes. So much better. Just putting this comment here in case somebody needs to read it for confirmation but they don't need to buy a new camera. Investing in lenses is really the best game plan in my opinion.

[@kingstonfilmsss]

Thanks I just bought the ZV-E10

[@riyamakeupandstyling]

What lens you bought?

[@riyamakeupandstyling]

Hi what prime lens you invested in?

[@ashleymalamute]

For me it was an expensive camera and kit lens, or a ZVE10 + kit lens + the Tamron. So I went with the Tamron option. It's a beast. At night it lights up the whole backyard like it's daytime. I'm a big guy so I can handle it, but little people with little hands could find the Tamron set up to be a little unwieldy.

[@MarkCupLee]

FE 24-105 mm F4 G OSS _IS_ the full frame equavilent of this lens. f/4 in FF will get you the same image as f/2.8 in APS-C

[@goestas]

Thank you for this recommendation. I do a lot of handheld shooting. The Sigma 18-50 is a fantastic lens for the money, but with the Ronin RS3 Mini I was getting micro-jitters. Traded it in for the Tamron and haven't regretted it, despite the added bulk and cost. The lens stabilization is worth it, and the added reach is a bonus. I can even get reasonably steady video without the gimbal if needed, without IBIS! Nothing, alas, can fix the dreadful shutter roll of the ZV-E10; it's the one thing that makes me regret this camera, sometimes, but then I remember what it cost. And I'll be able to use this great lens and the Sigma 14 f1.8 on the next body (6700?).

[@markwiemels]

Great insight. Yah, a6700 looks really good.

[@chryseass.5143]

I opted for the Sigma 18-50 f2.8 for my a6500 just because I wanted to keep it a small ,lightweight set up. I have ordered the Tamron 11-20 f2.8 to add a wide angle lens choice and also use my full frame Tamron 70-300 lens for the telephoto shots. I do wish the 17-70 was smaller as it really would make a fine travel lens, choice otherwise.

[@markwiemels]

From memory you put it "on", just not in the active mode with the huge crop. "on" or standard, should just use the lens IS, active turns on the Digital with the huge crop in.

[@CartyCantDance]

[@dingleberry1242]

@@markwiemels can we get an update on that? Do you think the Tamron is worth the extra over the Sigma?

[@CLVlogs05]

for me it is the same, soon as you remove the kit lense fromt he body all lenses are bit and not a pocket camera anyomore so it doesnt change much

[@CLVlogs05]

@@dingleberry1242 To provide more info on this part and this is coming from a techinal review, the sigma and tanrom are equivalent when it comes to sharpness, sigma does tend to have a quicker autofocus but not by much, people mentioned the tanrom not being as sharp at is long end, however this is past 60mm which in the end still make it better than the sigma due to is focal lenght coverage

[@CLVlogs05]

also do not forget sigma does not have any type of in lens stabilization , therefore is more dificult to take pics at low shutter speed or handheld videos

[@hardeepchahal6278]

What about the tamron 28-75mm VS 17-70mm? Both seem great but the latter would give better wide angle shots. I would've thought the 28-75 with the extra zoo functionality would be closer to a macro lens? Im kind of torn between two but ill be doing more videos/cinematography - any thoughts?

[@artistjoh]

I prefer the 10-18 and 18-105 combination. Rarely need to change lenses, and when I do, it is to put on a f1.4 from the Sigma 16, 30, and 56 trio. That way I get power zoom, OSS, and low light performance with a smallish kit, and if I need to take just one lens, the 18-105 f4 PZ OSS is the most versatile lens for my kind of work.

[@markwiemels]

A few people have mentioned that 18-105, I will have to check it out.

[@artistjoh]

@@markwiemels It is a great lens, and f4 is only one stop slower than f2.8. The power zoom is really useful for this zoom range, and 105 is useful reach.

[@Nicksperiments]

@@artistjoh The 18-105 is a decent “do-it-all” lens but I’m a little disappointed in the sharpness (especially at the edges around 18mm) and the minimum focusing distance. It’s not terrible but I wish it was a little better in those areas for the price

[@artistjoh]

@@Nicksperiments As you say, it is a decent performer, that while not perfect, it is the compromiser that becomes a "do-it-all" lens. Perhaps for stills photography the sharpness can be complained about, but lets face it, this was designed for video, and buyers are buying it for video, and it is plenty sharp enough for video resolutions, especially for KZbin. I also remember writing a message to Sony support before I bought it asking if it is parfocal or not. They answered that they had asked the engineers and they said it is not optically parfocal but is designed to communicate with the camera AF to keep it in focus as zooming so it is effectively parfocal. That was plenty good enough for me. There are plenty of technically sharper lenses that are not parfocal, and behaving as parfocal is what is most important to me. And the optically parfocal ones tend to be expensive. It also has a focal range that is very useful, from wide enough to use it as an only lens, to excellent tele reach on APS-C. And the power zoom is worth its weight in gold. At its relatively lowish price point it has to have compromises, but when balancing price, size and weight, parfocal behavior, power zoom, and good enough sharpness for video, it is a great choice for video shooters with limited funds. There is good reason why it tends to be well liked by most of those who use it, and most of us agree with you that it is "decent" and "do-it-all." and are happy with that :)

Great lens review Mark! I'm from Tasmania and the highlight of your video was recognising some of our beautiful scenery in your photo's 😃

[@markwiemels]

Oh, that's cool! We love it there.

[@gigihanmandarin]

When you look at how much Sony 16-55G cost ($1200) and it comes without lens stabilization, Tamron 17-70 is an absolute bargain. It is not just for ZVE10, its size suits FX30 perfectly, and FX30 owners will be more happy to spend $800 on a lens hence I say Tamron 17-70 is the only lens you need for FX30.

[@markwiemels]

Yes. I may make that FX30 17-70 video, waiting to get the Sigma 18-50 to compare. I may make an FX30 17-70 and 18-50 video all in one. I can't recommend the 18-50 on the ZV-E10, due to the lack of lens IS.

[@gordon3988]

It has some great features/specs but as you noted it is so big for such a small camera, the challenge of having the equivalent of several lenses in one. Might even be a good fit for handheld video with the proposed Sony 6700 if it has decent IBIS as well! Great overview!

[@chasenicholson237]

I bought this lens and have been wanting to compare it to the sigma 18-50. The range and stabilization seem better on the Tamron but I live abroad and wonder how much the smaller form factor of the sigma would impact my usage vs the loss of range and stabilization. I love this lens and got it for 400 dollars barely used so worse case scenario I can sell it and buy the sigma. It’s a nice problem to have though having a lens this nice and versatile

[@JoeCastellon]

Truly a very versatile lens 😲

[@MrBywayofdeception]

When you factor in that the Sony 24-105 f4 full frame lens has the same reach (1mm wider actually), the same light gathering capacity (FF is at least one stop better compared to APS-C), optical image stabilisation, superior focusing, similar weight, then the only thing that stands for this lens is the price.

[@SoundKillerOfficial]

I had a 17-70 and for some reason it got ruined with just a year of purchase and is filled with humidity in the front element. It is by far the worst lens i've had. I had this lens stored in the same place as a sigma 30mm 1.4 which doesn't have weather sealing and 0 humidity. The humidity fully ruined the lens and all pictures look dirty and hassy and warranty doesn't cover the damages and is expensive to repair, maybe i had a defective weather seal, but it is a big issue that made mine useless

[@markwiemels]

I have both, and have been meaning to do a comparison video. Very hard, both are great. The small size of the Sigma is pretty great. Image quality is just as good in both, Sigma gives your a better price and smaller size, Tamron gives you more range and image stabilisation. If you are big into portraits, then the Tamron is a clear winner with 70mm, but the portability of the Sigma is so good for travel and be far more inconspicuous.

I have this lens on the Sony FX30. I like it over all, but I don't like the Bokeh. It is not a dreamy blur, it has the image doubling effect. and it has a strange effect where you can have things close to the camera and the distant images has the same amount of out of focus blur. And the Stabilization is wonky on Tamron. It locks and jerks weirdly. Common to Tamron. But beyond that it is a great lens for the price.

Hello marks! Thanks for the great video, it's just what I needed.

7:46... No, not exactly. The "f" number is not a unit and does not represent "how big the opening is in the back of the lens". This number is the result of a ratio, between the diameter of the front lens element and the actual focal lens of the item. It is a relative value, as opposed to the "T" number, more common in the cinema industry, which is the actual light transmittance capability of the item. It is crucial to be accurate when speaking about iris and all things related to, otherwise it creates this whole huge misunderstanding we see all around us about lenses, apertures, intensity of light reaching a sensitive surface (film or digital sensor).

[@whippedcreampictures]

when you factor in the crop factor the f2.8 is like f4.2 on full frame? then the full frame 24-105mm f4 has more range and is a tiny bit brighter at the same time?

[@gordon3988]

2.8 on APSC is 2.8 on FF (or MFT for that matter) as far as the amount of light let in. The difference you referenced relates to depth of field.

[@markwiemels]

From a light gathering standpoint, f2.8 is the same on crop or full frame, so that's the point I was referencing. when it come to DOF it does get a bit more complicated, and the f2.8 on FF is better than APS-C.

I have ordered the 18-50, just so I can compare them and make recommendations. The lens is on backorder, so not sure how long until I get it in.

[@ShaunWaldron-x2e]

Which gimbal would balance the ZV-E10 and that Tamron lens? Thanks

[@markwiemels]

WeeBill 3s might be your best best. None of the really small gimbals will do it.

[@ZakeBell]

How is the auto focus with this lens ?

[@DissertationshelpforU]

can anyone tell me about this lens - tamron 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD (Model B061) is an all-in-one zoom lens for Sony E for SONY ZV E 10?

[@ariyanhejazi]

Hi, I have Sony zve10 but I really can’t decide best lens for my camera. Are you sure this lens has best for photography and video? Specially for night mode?!

[@GuntasSingh]

Yes

[@andreotti.cycling]

Very useful video, thanks a lot! Quick question, does the image stabilisation on this camera crop in like t he Sony steady shot? Thank you

[@markwiemels]

No, the lens based IS does not crop.

[@FAMBAM_AUS]

have you compared this to the Sigma 15 - 50mm for the Sony?? I am really struggling to choose between the two... Primarily used for video but I also want to do a little more photography.. I also already have the Sony e11 ultra wide lens already but with that I am really missing the ability to ZOOM into some a little further away when filming. thanks

[@markwiemels]

I just go it, but have not used it yet. If your camera has ibis, then the sigma is a viable option, if not, the lens IS in the Tamron is a huge advantage.

[@FAMBAM_AUS]

@@markwiemels I have a Sony ZV-E10 thanks for your reply :)

[@ismapierre]

How many frames you use, Or do you use a high shutter speed?

[@markwiemels]

For Video do you mean? I shoot 25 fps for video.

[@KostisMoutsopoulos]

actually is a 24-105 f4 in fullframe numbers

[@markwiemels]

This is actually a common misconception. The argument could be made that the performance is similar, but f2.8 on aps-c is the same as f2.8 on full frame, same size opening, same amount of light.

[@epicarno6943]

Does anyone know if this lens has a matte box that fits it?

[@bobapatt2204]

Great video as always. Keep up the good work.

[@markwiemels]

Thanks again!

[@Miguel-fm8xh]

This point you make at 2:49 is kinda false information 17-70mm equals 25.5-105 on Sony APS-C F2.8 equals F4.2 on Sony Fullframe. So basically this is like the famous 24-105 F4 from Canon, just this one is only 200g more, got more features and is a full frame lens

[@markwiemels]

f2.8 on APS-C is the same size opening and light throughput as it is on full frame. So while we can debate some equivalency to full frame, the 1.5 times thing is oversimplified, not exactly true.

[@Miguel-fm8xh]

So does this mean F1.4 on phones equals F1.4 on real cameras in terms of light?@@markwiemels

[@markwiemels]

@@Miguel-fm8xh if they are actually using the same scale as all photography lenses then yes. I suspect they are the same, but I think the focal lengths they quote are not the same (I think they are doing the equivalency calculation). So they may call it a 28mm when it’s actually a 4mm or something crazy, but I’m not really a phone camera expert, so not entirely sure.

[@ravicholachagudda5912]

You have royal Enfield bike ?

[@gabrielmarin4973]

Thanks for the review! I'm starting in nightclub photography, do you think this lense would be a good option? Thanks!

[@markwiemels]

It depends on how much light you have. You might also need an f1.4 fixed focal length lens too, like a 23 or 35mm.

[@alexgoriatchenkov]

You forgot to mention the kit lens is 7 times cheaper than this nice lens. And 2,8 not super bright too for night shots. But yes, lens is great ! Kit lens perfect beginner lens with nice practical results. Looks reviews.

[@ergocardinal9585]

Enter Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8

[@whippedcreampictures]

hi. what do you think about the tamron 18-300mm?

[@markwiemels]

Have not tested that one, but I have been impressed with every Tamron that I have used.

[@steele.t]

You look like the guy at the camera store that sold me on this camera lol

[@markwiemels]

Thanks for buying the camera from me. It’s nice to hear from you again.

[@steele.t]

@@markwiemels oh wait are you the guy!? You work at the camera store in Wisconsin right? Also I haven’t bought the camera yet, but really looking forward to getting it

[@markwiemels]

@@steele.t no, I was just kidding. It’s a good camera though, can’t go wrong.

[@YAZEED87m]

I just wish the aperture was a F1.4.. it will be the best lens on the world

[@tusharpuri835]

i think this lens not for gimble users ?

[@markwiemels]

You would need a mid-sized gimbal or bigger.

[@ariririririririririri]

Damn I wanted to order Sigma 18-50mm for my Fuji but now after seeing your review on that Tamron (which is also available on x mount) I feel like I should shell out a bit more money and buy this beast. Great review as always Mark.

[@markwiemels]

The extra range is huge, and you get IS. I have ordered the Sigma 18-50, and plan to do a comparison video. It was on back order so not sure how long it will be before I get it and make the video.

[@aabeen1]

I decided the Tamron was too big, heavy and expensive for my ZV-E10. You won't regret buying the Sigma eiher. My opinion is that the choice is not that easy. If you are used too a heavier camera the choice for a Tamron becomes more obvious.

[@ariririririririririri]

@@markwiemels I will wait for the video then, very curious about them. Will probably end up just getting both eventually but seems like Tamron offers more for just a bit more. Sigma main advantage is definetly size.

[@DCCUSTOMSANDFABRICATION]

I couldn’t vlog with this tho ?

[@markwiemels]

17mm is right on the cusp of wide enough, you can.

[@DCCUSTOMSANDFABRICATION]

I ended up getting 18-300

[@serbza]

Hey Mark! Great video as always! (Keep it up) I have a question. I'm studying to be a filmaker and I need a camera. I'm searching for a cheap one but that can last me a long time. I don't need 4K for now so it's not a problem. I want a camera that looks like film, not for vlogging and that stuff. If you have any suggestions please tell me! Thanks in advace!

[@markwiemels]

I would get a used mirrorless and adapt vintage lenses. Maybe a Canon EOS RP or an M6 Mark II. For even less, I would look at an old Panasonic, like the GH3.

[@serbza]

@@markwiemels Thanks a lot!

[@cybermorph]

I've been binge-watching a number of your videos and they're great, your presentation is amazing and you got a great presence. But dude what does it take to find out what freaking lens you're talking about? Consistently and almost every video it's ridiculous LOL. It's not in any chapter if you have a chapter, it's not on the screen you don't show it anywhere and someone that might want to let you know scroll through quickly can't find anything until what a microsecond maybe even near the end. You got to do something about that it's very frustrating. Otherwise you're great.

[@DansEarway]

👏👏👏

[@markwiemels]

Thanks.

[@harishkiran3663]

Only after the sigma prime trio.
