Sony 10-20mm f4 G PZ - A Handsome Review with the ZV-E10

[@JohnDennery]

I did not notice this lens when it came out but I just discovered how tiny it is and that it’s all internal zoom. As a take everywhere lens, I prefer a tiny f4 over a bigger 2.8 any day. Looks like my ideal hiking setup. Thanks for the video!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

It’s so small and light

[@gunn1ng]

A very credible review. Much respect to you Mr Bennett! My take is that if you’re a videographer that deals in very well lit scenes, this is your lens.

[@kevincozby]

You are SUCH a cool dude and just a joy to watch regardless of the topic. Thank you for that. On a relevant note, can you have a side-by-side comparison between this lens and sigma 10-18 2.8? I am wondering if a shorter Sony gives you a wider image :)

@@sarahmcbeth9156 What? No what? Are you disagreeing with what I said about field of view depending only on focal length (and sensor size of course) and not the physical size of the lens?

[@andyb204]

I bought this for my a6700 to use for landscape and street/travel photography. My son steals it occasionally to use on his a7iv. He records video at 4k 60fps, which is a crop sensor mode on the a7iv, so the lens is great for that. What I found is this is a superb landscape lens. There are some minor issues when the light fades, but this can normally be compensated by increasing shutter time - tripods are useful things. The interesting thing is I often increase the shutter time anyway for many of my landscape photos, because I want that effect on the water and clouds. I almost never go faster than f5.6, normally f8-f11 to compensate for that, and of course that also keeps the whole frame in focus. If you like Astro pics with lots of white lines (yeah honestly, I was going for the star trail look on all my milky way photos) then it works for that too. I'm not an Astro photographer, I'm not a portrait photographer, and I have faster lenses for taking photos in low light. So this lens has turned out to be perfect for what I use it for. It's sharp, easy to use and is wide to awesomely wide.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Great uses for this lens. I’m sure a lot of people don’t think about using it like you do.

[@maximilianberbechelov]

You are my main source for this information for the last year and a half... I'm shooting gatherings for 6 people around a table and the closeups are extremely cool shot with f1.8. However, I need to have a wide shot that catches them all and can't seem to nail it. Tried the ZV-e10 kit lens on 16, tried some 18mm lenses... It's not very lit - it's perfect for the 1.8s. I need everything to be in focus for the wide shot, so I need a lens that can manage the not super bright wide shot, but still keep a lot in focus. I was looking at this lens because of the F4 and the 10mm, but you say it's bad in low light, so not sure if I should give it a try.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I would do the Sony 11 1.8. super wide and super bright

[@maximilianberbechelov]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Will go for it then and will report results 😄 Edit: Actually - in a studio enviroment will the 11mm at 1.8 have shallow depth of field or will it be able to keep everything in focus? I've never used such wide angle lense at such low f stop.

I am looking at the Sony 11mm, 10-20mm and possibly the older 10-18mm with OSS, mainly to compensate for the crop when the image stabilisation is on. But you just got me thinking, would the gimbal and the kit lens and image stabilisation on the ZV-E10 suffice? I’d be interested in your thoughts. Many thanks

Amazing review. I really wish Sony would care more about APSC. Seems like there is a huge gap between the a6600/zv-e10 and the fx30. They do not really have an equivalent of what is basically a7c/zv-e1 in the Super35 and it's killing me. I want something with top features in tracking, video, stabilization, object detection/AI but in a compact (non-cinema) size to pair with these amazing lenses.

Interesting lens, but the F4 is making it difficult for indoor use, and that’s also the point of wide angle lense for shooting nice pictures at family or friends meetings during the long autunm and winter months. I don’t mind the missing of OSS for wide angle.

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Now i have the the 13mm Viltrox which is absolutely amazing. Im thinking of another lens to buy.. that Tamron is very tempting!!!!😅

[@miguelasemprun]

Great review as always!, I was looking to buy an ultrawide zoom lens for my ZV e10, the Tamron 11-20mm was my first choice... but the size, weight, extra 1mm, internal zoom, faster AF, better control of focus breathing, the extra buttons, better compatibility, the "G" image quality and why not... the power zoom of the Sony 10-20mm made me forget about the f2.8 of the Tamron... i think i'm sold. I'll wait for the comparison video anyway to be sure before spending 850€. Btw, I also have the crane M3, its just better to get a gimbal tha can handel not only the camera and lens, but have room for a mic, small light or any other small accessory and is not sufering like the Crane M2 that i had. Spend the extra 100€ on the M3, it's worht it for an APSC system. Right now i'm using it with the ZV-e10 with the flip screen out mounted on a quick release plate, sigma 18-50mm, Rode Wireless GO II and it goes smooooth. Great thing is you can balance once at 35mm and then zoom in and out without having to rebalanced it again, it handles it like a champ. Thanks Mark, keep it up! no need to sleep :D

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

oh yeah - that M3 is the best and I prefer it. But these lenses are so small that I can flip out the screen, use an Nd filer and put a wireless pack on and still balance it. it’s such an insanely small setup that it’s fun. The M3 is much more useful though for many things. especially the scroll wheel to do quick roll axis adjustments

Hi Mark, quick question... have u tested on Full Frame camera for that "special" hack which could eliminate the vignetting still keeping the full frame mode. thanks G

[@arkphotog]

Not taking cost into consideration - purely looking/comparing based on the quality of video image and ability, which of the two would you suggest (and if able, why)? I'll be using these on the Sony ZVE10, and strictly for video - I have a Canon 5d3 with great lenses that I will continue to use for photography. So, I'm mainly concerned with video (for KZbin): - Tamron 11-20mm f2.8 - Sony 10-20mm f4 I will mainly be doing counter-top videos (crafts & how to), but not exclusively; I will do some outdoor filming of bike races - meaning I'm filming others on their bikes, preferably by hand, but I can do a tripod or gimbal if needed.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I would do the Tamron because of the 2.8 of light. That can make a really big difference.The 10-20 is smaller, lighter and better for gimbals, but the f4 will make it difficult at times to film inside

[@camplapidary]

A very handsome review! I too wish I had unlimited money, then I would get this lens and many others. The power zoom intrigues me, and I like the extra buttons Sony puts on their lenses.

I pre-ordered, looking forward to using. Question: if I turned off the AF and blogged with lens on manual mode (Panasonic Leica 10-18), will I still get focus breathing? Thank you... great video as always...

[@kistovisback]

nope, focus breathing only occurs (to whatever degree that lens suffers from it) during the act of focusing, either automatically or manually. If you turn the AF off and you also don't change focus manually during filming, but instead set it once and leave it like that, there won't be any focus breathing

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Andrei is right. if your focus is set, you won’t see a change in your frame.

For strictly landscape - I would do the Sony - it’s a bit sharper and has no focus breathing. Plus it’s smaller, lighter and has a power zoom. But it won’t perform well as well as the Tamron in lower light or for astrophotography with that f4 of course.

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis in regards to the filters, if I have 6 lenses with 67mm pattern and pick up one of these, should I just get a cheap ND for 62mm or a 62 to 67 adapter for the ones I have? Would the 10mm wide be too wide to hide the adapter edges?

I’ve seen some things - but I never believe anything until I see it 🤣. I don’t care what they call it - if it has good ibis and 10-bit and 4k120 I will buy it if they call it MarkBennettSucks

Dear Mark, I have been using Canon 7D Mark 2 for a long time. Now I want to shift to Sony. But my budget is not high (maximum $1500). That's why I want to take Sony ZVE-10 for product photography. I want your opinion on this. Or please suggest something else at this budget. Thanks.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I would do the a6100 or a6400 for product photography- same sensor but has an EVF

[@kmhaque7619]

Why would Sony not put OSS in this lens?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

They aren’t putting in very many lenses at all these days

[@eazyasyoulike]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks, I see quite a few people saying the OSS feature is not that effective which might be a reason.

[@VacMaster1991]

I just got the ZV-E10 and using active actualization I am only seeing a small crop. Maybe 1.1x or 1.2x. Is that a new firmware or something.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

there’s a small crop in 30p from 24p, but if you are actually using active stabilization on video mode, the crop will be much greater. check you settings to make sure. There’s active and standard, standard is just lens stabilization so there’s no crop, Active has a noticeable 40% crop

[@VacMaster1991]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis definitely not 40%. Its about 15. That's in 4k30. 1.2x crop for 4k30, another 15% or so for active stabilization. 40% definitely not.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

not sure what settings are using, but going from 24 fps to active stabilization is 1.44x crop.

[@VacMaster1991]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis strange. I measured the crop on my pc. It's about 1.2x. Maybe sony decreased it in newly produced models.

[@SSPGaming]

Amazing how something so small can be so impressive. :P

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

True that!

[@DawahLand]

Is it good for vlogging?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Absolutely

[@adhardino9781]

Mark, i am not sure whether all Sony meetings are aboutyou but maybe 50%!?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

At least 50

[@kean4582]

My honest opinion: if people are considering wide angle F4 and above lens for vlogging (or maybe even photo), they'd be better of using an iphone/pixel. At this point, the background blur/separation is what's making the biggest difference between apsc and phones. Without it being obvious, there's almost no advantage in using apsc.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Background blur is not the only reason vlogs look on cameras - the larger sensor captures so much more data - the difference is very big when I switch to my iPhone 13 pro and my ZV-E10 at any F-stop. I have some vids comparing the iphone on the channel if you'd like to check them out. Many Hollywood films have been shot on a APS-C sensor at f4 or f6. But I encourage you to do some tests for yourself and I'm sure you will see a big difference, especially if you are not using the "auto" settings on the mirrorless camera.

[@ManuelParodiRamos]

So interesting to keep hearing about the three lenses, but only mention one 😂

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I have covered all three extensively on the channel.

[@ManuelParodiRamos]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I know. I have watched extensively your channel and I guess the other two lenses are the sony 11 and the sony 15? What I meant is that if you watch this video out of the blue (as I did yesterday) there is nowhere to be found which ones are those 3 lenses you keep referring to throughout the video! So you either know it from before or you feel baffled watching the video. That´s what I meant.

[@vassilk]

boy, what do you edit video in? Share;)

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Just some basic Final Cut editing. Nothing fancy

[@KPGuitarStudios]

Super dumb comment incoming! 😛 Seems really sharp. The Tamron probably does best it out in practical terms but you could be on to something... New lenses = new cameras. As we've been saying, a high end APSC, typical pro photo style body instead over ultra compact, that would be great! Fingers crossed their meetings take your viewpoint into consideration 🤘

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I approve this dumb comment 🤣🤣

[@KPGuitarStudios]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Sony Reptilian Overlords be put on notice.... Mark is speaking smart and should definitely be included in all your meeting discussions 😛

[@vassilk]

Good. F4 a little much

[@SeanHuangRealEstate]

It's really 15-30 mm F/5.6 not F/4

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

only in terms of full frame field of view and background separation equivalence. The 10-20 f4 are physical calculations on the lens. The brightness is f4 or an f4 APS-C lens will be the same brightness as an f4 full frame lens as well.

[@TW-iu9zy]

… of cause you want it. 😄 Me too …
