Hey Mark, amazing review as always. A suggestion, if you could please mention on the bottom corner what lens, exposure settings, what type of stabilization etc. would be great for viewers to easily correlate the video with the specs. Thanks !

Good suggestion. I usually write the lens and cam - but I’ll see if I can add those things

I loved this video so much. (Because I hate the studio videos with that awful music) so thank you so much for a beautiful video. And for the beautiful music-free audio. I’m so refreshed. And blessed

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Great review, as usual. As a narrative filmmaker, I always look at lenses as to how they could be used to help tell a story. A wide angle lens like this 11mm would have a specific use. Since it does distort the head quite dramatically, I would use it to convey a character's state of mind. Mostly, a disturbed state of mind or an altered reality. Either way, it's a really good lens. And seeing that it has literally no focus breathing makes it a no brainer in those altered state of mind scenarios. Looking forward to your comparison between these lenses. Good work.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

yes it would be great for that!!

[@TylerSchwartzDance]

Would love to see a comparison between this and the tamron 11-20!

[@YetAnotherRcChannel]

Looks like a great option ☺️ Thanks for the review. Going to be a hard debate in my head between this and the 11-20 tamron.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

the Tamron is so great for photos. More versatile, but bigger, heavier, trickier to balance on gimbals, if someone asked me to pick one I would choose the Tamron, but I like taking landscape photos a lot

[@YetAnotherRcChannel]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I'm leaning towards it. I'm more picky about my photos than my vids. And it's for photos I need the wider shots.

[@Jaxentdaniel]

Do you have a video showing what the vignetting looks like with the step up rings? I have SO many 67mm thread filters and would love to grab this lens

[@carlibeguerie]

Bought it yesterday, I LOVE IT

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

it’s so awesome

[@SilverVagabonds]

Just got the ZV-E10 and still learning. I really wish it were more stable….but I still love it.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I have a lot of views about catalyst browse. Look into those and you'll be able to get great stable footage.

[@panzerschreckpete]

Sony absolutely blew my lens acquisition pan (and budget) out of the window with this, the 15mm and the 10-20mm. What did surprise me was the affordability. Even at NZ prices, the sony three are justifiably affordable. I already have the Sigma trio plus their 18-50mm kit lens replacement, but the 11mm expands the potential field of view particularly for indoors video given the low light capability. I see the 10-20mm as a very practical purchase as well, given that the Tamron equivalent is close to the same price, while the 10-18mm Sony predecessor was a PoS lens in terms of QC and was very overpriced for what it delivered. I think the 15mm will be the more aspirational of the trio, as I already have the Sigma, but one huge factor is the size and weight advantages of the new Sony lenses. The Sigma 16mm is a humongous beast by comparison, which is fine on a tripod or a bigger gimbal like the Crane M3, but a lot of my projects involve top down shots so lighter and smaller is a major factor.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I know - they complicated things a lot 🤣🤣

[@panzerschreckpete]

@@PeterSu If you've already got both - there's no question involved. :) that Combo works perfectly well, and offers more flexibility - I just made the decision to get the M2S because of a combination of budget and I've been able to retire the 200D to studio only work.

[@major_miniatures]

Excellent content, easily digestible 🙏

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Much appreciated!

[@ArifKhan.]

Beauty! This is the exact combo I am planning for. Just Waiting for the lens to arrive!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Have fun!

[@gers709]

Nice review! Btw I think that widest non fisheye prime lens that you can get on apsc is laowa 9mm f2.8 however this lens is manual focus only. They also have 9mm for full frame but it's f5.6.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yes - should have clarified autofocus!! Stupid construction threw me off 🤣🤣

[@edurmissa]

I make vertical videos with my steadicam and my canon 10-18mm doing myself an adapter for that purpose, I like the way it looks, but sure, the problem is that 4.5, I was filming cosplayers at a local convention and I feel like the 3.5 from the 10-22 could be the least for a nicely brighter image, a full frame along a 16mm f2.8 would be ideal... but this lens in the very same context will be just perfect. I was going to use the widest side anyway, so that f1.8 at that darker stage, will be unstoppable. I have an older Sony E body and I was looking for the 16mm f2.8 just because its so small and quite wide, but I think that is no longer needed, this 11mm is my only option now.

[@MyMerryMessyGermanLife]

Loved your review, this was really helpful! How heavy does that Gimbal get for vlogging? I have a huge and heavy camera setup currently for vlogging and I just can't do it anymore. I LOVE my Canon EOS R + 16-35 mm F1.8 lens - it takes gorgeous shots. But I get headaches from carrying it around. I need something lightweight and easy.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

if you get this lens with the zv-e10 and the zhiyun crane m2s, you’ll be able to carry it around all day.

[@MR.XYZ.]

You explain the best .

[@nevesnow]

it would be awesome to see a comparinson with the sony 13mm, viltrox 13mm and sigma 16mm 1.4. . cheers and thanks for the vid!

[@MarkAnderson-ip9iw]

Great video. What lens would you recommend to shoot a wedding video using the Zv e10 and a Crane M3..

[@kashabbas529]

Hi Mark, Great video and always fun to watch. Im currently thinking of buying a new lense, so question for you. Which one would you recommend out of the Sony 11mm 1.8 and the Sigma 16mm 1.4? I know you use the Sigma very often and have highly recommended it previously. Also as your using the M2s Gimbal, how did you find balancing this lense on the Gimbal? Another one just for interest, does the Sigma 16mm balance well with the Zv-E10 on the M2s Gimbal? Thanks in advance ❤️

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I will personally use the Sigma more because I like it as a studio len and I like that it’s not so wide that it distorts my face. but for a gimabal, the 11mm is much better. I can use that in the M2S with ease. the Sogma 16 does not fit in the M2S and barely balances on the M3.

[@AmitKumar-oq6qu]

I like your this type of video presentation over the studio presentation. just saying, do this kind of videos more often

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

It depends on the camera and lens I’m using of course, but yeah - I like to get outside more these days 🤣

[@kellycatrina2891]

Hey Mark, I love your reviews! I would love to see a comparison between the Samyang 12mm f/2.0 and the new Sony 11mm f/1.8. In my experience the Samyang’s autofocus is quite disappointing even in daylight. I would also be curious to see how the active steady shot, barrel distortion, and vignetting compare on both lenses. Thanks!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I will be comparing the Sony 11, Samyang 12 and viltrox 13 very soon. but I can tell you the Samyang is far behind the Sony and viltrox. It’s not as good at autofocus, it has much more ghosting and flares, much worse contrast and is no where near as sharp.

[@frankweigand6189]

The samyang right now is in sale for 285 eur at Amazon and I am still looking for a good vlogging lens. Right now I have the sigma 16 mm, but it is to heavy. You do not seem too fond of the samyang lens. Did you ever make the comparison video? I just can not find it on your great channel! By the way my favorite tv e-10 channel!

[@IntrovertAmateur]

After watching all of videos again regarding wide angle lenses, decided to purchase the Sony 11mm, simply because Amazon Germany currently offer an 100,- discount. Ordered it through your affiliate link - hope you will now get stupid rich :D

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Thanks for thinking of me. I’ll be a rich as Knight Rider is no time!!

[@eyeofthediver]

You’re funny man. Watching your videos I’m on the path to resolve my own camera crisis and picked up an a6400. Great video BTW. How is the minimum focus ? I shoot underwater and if I can get close to subjects, I could potentially do fish portraits and reefscapes with the same lens. Or would the sigma 16 be better suited you think? This plus the 50mm macro should have me sorted I hope.

[@DEFACTO9]

I went with the Younguo 11mm at around half price, same performance and medallic body. Looks epic with the camera too. Small pocket powerhouse weapon for video making.

[@Armin2208]

Omg finally Sony released such a lens! I wanted to buy the SEL-1018, but it only has F4. This is a muuuch better choice. Glad I waited! The picture looks awesome.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

it’s great. the Tamron 11-20 is also a better option if you need a zoom that can get you a 2.8

[@Dwoalin]

I haven't owned a "real" camera since my Canon T3i back about 7 years ago. Just now getting back into cameras and I'm going to grab a Sony a6100. I'm just having a toss up between the Sony 11mm 1.4 and the TAMRON 12-20MM 2.8 (which I also watched your video on). I love the flexibility to zoom in with the TAMRON but that 1.8 on the Sony really has me torn. I want to use my choice for live streaming which would be great for low light and it'd likely not get moved at all. But also I want to use the lens for KZbin so the TAMRON would be great for that 👀 It's a tough choice. Thank you for the great videos on both lenses! ♥

[@MrAjgoron]

Mark which budget ND filters could you recommend for this lens? Have you tried to use it with ND and mist filters stacked on? I would like to buy ND filters (variable or fixed) and mist for this lens and avoid vignetting.

[@NagaVlogz]

Ordered today 💫👍🏻

[@JephAraujo]

Which microphone is this? Love it!

[@gigihanmandarin]

Yes yes yes. Comparison with the competition please!

[@phil.vision]

Hey Mark! You mentioned that the lens didn't have image stabil. Is just your crane good enough or does that explain the slight movement on screen here?

[@TheOFWProjectWorld]

I am getting it in 3 days, Just ordered it, my wife has the zv-e10 and I have the a7rIV and the good thing is, even though it is for APSC, my A7RIV has super 35mm which will convert this into 16.5mm and still coughs up 27.11 Megapixels! so a win win!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yes that is a HUGE advantage of the R series

[@jeccarreon]

hi Mark, have you heard about the yongnuo 11mm f1.8? if ever, would you consider doing a comparisson with the sony 11mm? thanks

[@syedarmaghanhassan4652]

Hi Mark, thanks for sharing. Do you also shoot short films?

[@joejeonghyeon]

which vND filter can you recommend for daily vlog on 11mm f1.8 lens?

[@studiodsr]

Is there an adapter that exists that lets you use this lens with Fujifilm X series cameras, like the X-T4?

[@Kodyssey]

So I’m looking to get this lens because I just made a VR setup in my room. Not a ton of space, and the sigma 16 f1.4 crops in just a bit too much. Would you say this lens would be good for mixed reality VR? Probably a hard question to answer, but curious on your thoughts

[@ferdysgdumel]

Hi Mark, thank you ever so much for all your ZV E-10 info, you've talked me into it. One question though, which Matte Box fits this 11mm?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

the filter thread on the 11 is 55mm. so if you want an nd filter, get one with 55mm. you can also get a mattebox that has rings for 55mm - but I’m assuming you’re actually looking for a screw on filter? amzn.to/3MB3B4n

[@ferdysgdumel]

Ta! I'm going for the Smallrig Matte 2660, I guess - based on what you;ve told us in another of your videos )@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis

[@walkfree8282]

Hi , I can’t get such clear videos like yours even though I am using same equipments, please do you mind sharing with me camera settings in this video?

[@Sebartus]

Please do the low light test comparison with all this lenses: Sony 11mm F1.8, 15mm F1.4, Viltrox 13mm F1.4, Sigma 16mm F1.4

[@verma.shaurya]

was gonna say something similar!

[@masum_rezaa]

Specially need low light test with the new Sony 11mm apsc...... planning to buy it but at first need some low light test

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

so low-light is determined by the cameras sensor and the fstop on the lens. The lower the fstop, the better in low light. So all of the f1.4 will be good for you. I’ll see if I can grow a test for things like autofocus though

[@Sebartus]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Yes I know but but maybe one will be better, for example a better Auto Focus. You can wait until it will be end of day ( more dark ) and then do the walking vlog test. Next test it in studio with low light. You can also do comparison APS-C vs Full Frame ( in APS-C mode ) base on this lenses.Create also the same test in good light condition - this will help people to decide what is right for them under what conditions. ps. Thank you for your all work with whole conent. You create a lot of very valuable content. God bess you Mark and all the best for you :)

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

@@Sebartus in my Sony 15 vs viltrox 13 vs sigma 16 I did a low light test. All of the Sony’s focus perfectly in lowlight. Shockingly good. So no worries about the 11 or 15 from Sony

[@bigstreetguns6619]

Hey Mark, have you tried using 2 filters on the 11mm? I'm contemplating combining a VND and a pro mist filter, but will there be a heavy vignette if I buy both filters in a 55mm size? Or maybe I should buy them in 62 or 67mm size and a step-up filter?

[@WilliamPo98]

i have 55mm UV + step up 67mm then mist and vnd and there is slight vignette

Hello, how does this lens compare to the Sony 10-20 mm F4 lens? Thank you.

[@letran-kz7pw]

The way you review is wonderful and useful . Sony 10-20 can shoot lowlight ? Thanks

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The 10-20 is not good for lowlight. the Sony 15 1.4 or Sigma 16 1.4 or Votrox 13mm 1.4 is best for that. the Tamron 11-20 2.8 would be a better zoom option in lowlight. The lower the f number - the better the lowlight

[@letran-kz7pw]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thanks

[@fraudcasters]

Hi Mark. Love your content and humour and thanks for sharing your knowledge with all things ZV-E10. I've just bought this lens and note that in your vid, you have it working with active steadyshot. I've tried to activate SteadyShot but I am getting an "invalid with this lens" message on the ZV-E10. Is my lens faulty or am I missing something?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

you need to use active steadyshot. regular steadyshot is just for lenses that have internal stabilization.

[@fraudcasters]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Hi Mark. Thank you for taking the time to respond. You are of course correct (was that ever in doubt?) :) I have set it to Active Steadyshot and it is cropping in as it should. Do you set it manually to the 11mm setting with this Lens or leave it in auto? Again thanks for taking the time to respond. I'm new to photography and videography but I'm starting a course at the local college next week to get up to speed with everything. I've left it late in life to take up the hobby but it's something I always wanted to get into. Your vids have been an enormous help to me so thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us lesser mortals. You have a very unique style and are fully deserving of far more subscribers than you have currently. You sort of remind me of a funnier Saul Goodman at times. Wishing you every success for the future and the very best of health and happiness.

[@benfitzpatrick1571]

Hi Mark! I was hoping I could get some advice. I have recently purchased my own “little Dougie” which I am planning to use for vlogging an upcoming trip. It’s my first interchangeable lens camera so brand new to the world of lenses. I love the wide angle look and was going to purchase the Sony 10-18mm but saw the new 10-20mm and decided to go for that. I have been testing the ZV E10 & 10-20mm lens for a few days and although it looks great I have a few concerns. I am having to put the footage through Catalyst to stabilise so filming with 1/200 shutter speed as you suggested, which is fine (in daylight) I took this out this evening and with the 1/200 it’s just so dark! (F4 & Auto ISO where I increased to max) I can hardly see myslef. I will be planning on vlogging days and nights so thinking this will be a problem. My question is. Do you think I should go for the Sony 11mm lens instead? It’s still wide but much better at handling low light…right? Or would the low light issue be the exact same as the 10-20 because I would still be filming with 1/200 shutter? (Hope i made sense 😅) thanks

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The 11 will be much better - the 1.8 lets in almost 8 times the light as an F4. Also, catalyst works really well these days - so you can leave your shutter speed at 1/50 and still get very good results. If you are moving quickly - you may want to bump it to 1/100. But try the f1.8 and the shutter of 1/50 and your problems in lowlight should be solved

[@benfitzpatrick1571]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis well your the gift that keeps on giving Mark! Great advice about the Catalyst update and I will definitely pick up the 11mm and tryout the lower shutter speeds with it. Much appreciated

[@adventureswithtime]

You didn't talk much about the macro capability. I'm looking for a solution for my new Sony ZV-E10 for macro videos. My channel is about watches and I want to be able to shoot closeup on a watch face and movement. What would you suggest for either an adaptor or a real macro lens? Thanks

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Missed this comment - but. areal macro lens would be best. Look at the Sony 90mm Macro

[@arfmf]

I wish there were some b-roll of that vignetting with the step-up ring I use my A6600 with IBIS and some stabilization on Davinci on post... my Freewell mist Variable ND is 67mm and there's no chance I'll be buying a smaller one, but I really want this lens

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

My nd was 67 - and it was a lot of vignetting. I’ll see if I can find the footage

[@thelawnrenaissance]

Mark, I'm torn between the Sony 11mm and the Viltrox 13mm for my ZV-E10. •11mm to 13mm isn't too big a deal for my needs. •the 13 is twice the bulk & weight •aside from the $100 price difference, my biggest hangup seems to be with f1.4 vs the f1.8. I've never owned a 1.8 or 1.4, and I am looking for a low-light wide angle lens to record indoor music stuff. I'm really torn 'cause they're so similar. Which do you like more if pressed to choose? Can I even use a gimble with the Viltrox?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

if it was inside only on a tripod - I would say get the Viltrox. But if you plan to use gimbals and take it out and about - then I would do the Sony 11.

[@louielondonmedia4819]

Besides VLogging, what other practical uses do you envision for this lens? Also why get this lens over the 10-18 mm Sony APSC F/4.0 lens, which has more options?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

to me vlogging and wide shots under dim light are the main reasons for the 11. I think the 10-18 is going to more useful overall - but it is a lot more expensive.

[@seth_andal]

Important question!! I have the Sigma 16mm that I use and enjoy as my ultra-wide angle lens and studio lens for talking head, but I want a smaller lens for vlogging (the Sigma is too heavy and it could be wider). I was offered a $190 trade-in value at a local camera store for it, would it be a good choice to trade it for the Sony 11mm f1.8? The only thing I'd be missing from it is a go-to studio lens with the really nice bokeh. Thanks Mark!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

the 11 is my favourite vlogging lens for sure

I have a really silly question, but even though it's cheap relatively I can't justify it yet SO... could you slap a wide angle adapter(like the WL-3, but I dont think ulanzi has one in 55) and get like 8mm? >.>;;

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I they don’t have a wide angle adapter for that, even if you did there would be some crazy distortion that would make it unusable. there are actually some really wide manual lenses that are cheap. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWG7aK1nn56dgLc

[@WhosJohn]

can you do a video comparing this to the 15mm in low light?

[@AprilClayton]

Do you think APSC images have more vibrant color than full frame? I noticed my cat’s green eyes seemed to stand out more on Sony A6600 with Sigma 18-50 2,8 than on Sony A7IV with Sigma 28-70 2.8. Wondering if more concentrated color on smaller sensor. Sort of favoring APSC, especially the lighter weight.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

It’s probably just the difference between the sensors and colour science. but the smaller sensors with more megapixels do tend to look pretty sharp

If you have to choose from this or sigma 16 . 1.4 ?

Does it work with Catalyst Browse? If it has no in-lens stabilization, it also has no in-lens gyro+probably). I don't know what - in normal conditions - generates this gyro data for Catalyst Browse. Is it in-lens gyro chip or in- body gyro chip?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

the gyro data is recorded by the camera. it does communicate with the lens, which is why you need a lens that autofocuses. But Catalyst Browse will work with any lens that has autofocus.

Hey Marky gorgeous, if i pair this with Deity D4 Mini Microphone does the mic visible tru lens?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

it’s possible you’ll see the windmuff if it’s big enough - but I’m not sure

[@vipbotfree]

Hey, what variable nd filter to use with this lens? 55mm or some 82mm with some step-up ring's?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

definitely the 55. On a wide lens like this you will see the step up rings in the image

[@woutermonden]

I've got a ZV-E10 with a Sigma 16 mm 1.4 lens and two A6400 with kit lenses. I'm thinking of buying to more Sigma's. What do you think, good choice or should I buy two Sony 11mm's? I use the setup to film podcasts and kit lenses just don't weigh up to the colour and brightness of the Sigma.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

If you like the Sigma - stick with it. It's cheaper and I like the focal length more for faces - less distortion. I'm definitely keeping mine.

Found your vid 1 year after the review. Tell me, anything better or you still suggest this lens? For the zve10 vlogging lens! Thanks Mark and thank you for the reviews!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

yes - absolutely the best vlogging lens. Still have mine!!

[@Betheother]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thank you for the quick reply!💥🙏🏼

[@koblongata]

I wonder if when active stabilization is enabled, what mm of lens would it effectively becomes? Because I am choosing between this and the SEL35F18 which has OSS, thanks!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

this will be much wider than the 35 even on active stabilization. the 11 will become basically a 16. 16 Vs 35 is not very close

[@koblongata]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I will pick this lens then, so much versatile! Thanks!😘

[@frombehindthechair1558]

Thanks for video, do you think this lens would be good on the Sony A7C? I’d be using it to do talking head videos for KZbin and creating content on barbering, tutorials and photos of haircuts.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

this will work on the A7C yes. On full frame, I would heavily consider the Sony 20mm 1.8. it’s not as wide as the 11 (which is equivalent to a 16), but there’ll be less distortion and warping and people will look more like they do in real life

Hi Mark, Mark here. You got me into buying the ZV-E10, now fine with my great Sigma 18-50mm f2.8. My goal is to make videos of my and other bands, just close by and usually in not too much light (rehearsals and small gigs), so the 11mm would be great. But I am really bothered by that barrel distortion and the need to always correct this..? Did you (have to) correct all in this video? Or is the barreling not always present? And for my purpose, would you expect (less/more) issues? You mentioned that you hoped for a firmware update to correct this. Is there already such an update (for camera or lens)?? Thx

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

It’s only an issue when you stand really close to the lens. And for the most part - it’s just the physics of standing close to a wide lens. You won’t have an issue if you’re putting your subjects more than a couple of feet away from the lens

[@markvandrogen1342]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis ah great. No problem for my situation then! What about the corrections if you do encounter the distortion? In camera correction sufficient (firmware updated?) or do you need to correct in post?

[@alaminserifsarkar02]

Did you recorded all this video with 11mm 1.8 ? Aps-c or full frame ?

[@iamtheonetheoneandonlyTHEA]

For a beginner who loves to shoot streetphotography during the night or dawn time. Will you recommend this or the new viltrox 27mm f/1.2 for zv e10? HELP Pls :D Thanks!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The viltrox 27 would be better for that.
