Sony 11mm vs Viltrox 13mm - Photo & Video Test | Which one is good for vlogging?

[@ridewithabdullah]

Got the Sony 11mm F1.8 lens 8 months back, and it's been a game-changer for my travel vlogs. The F1.8 aperture excels in low light, while an ND filter helps maintain it in daylight. Love the results!

[@silverandblackentertainment]

Nice video man! I got the viltrox 13mm and the sigma 30mm for my zve10

[@parkertechsavvy]

Great work man thanks I’ll choose the Viltrox F1.4 as well

[@robertgarica]

Superb content! How would you compare the viltrox 13 mm f1.4 against the sony 15 mm f1.4? Which provides better/sharper image quality? What is your preference and why?

[@jeremyg9305]

At about @9:40, you are comparing 11mm F1.8 and 13mm F1.4 for DOF and Bokeh and state they are not that far off, but in practice because both focal length and aperture effect the bokeh in a squared manner (4x bokeh for 2x focal length), you end up with light disks around 85% larger on the viltrox than on the Sony when keeping all else equal.

[@NickedOff]

Very good comparison video! Appreciate the various video scenarios!

[@altynnazar]

Good video, exactly what i was looking for

[@Pharesm]

I have both of those lenses. The Sony is great for blogging, but often, I'd prefer the Viltrox 13mm 13mm for reduced distortions, and it can produce great bokeh! The Sony is super light and compact, so it lends itself very well for blogging and real estate...

[@kojivisuals]

which one do you use more often? does the viltrox size bother you? Sometimes, i felt the viltrox is too big for an apsc lens

[@Pharesm]

@@kojivisuals I can't say that overall, but for vlogging the Sony is just better, lighter and great with gimbal - I turn on active stab, just to reduce the wide angle. The 13mm is hands down my preference for photography. My favorite Viltrox is still the 23mmf1.4. its not "pro", but well, it makes a really great 30mm with excellent quality, bright enough for camp fires and astro. Sure, its not f1.2, but it does great and its not heavy inspite of its metal construction. 1 drawback: no weather seals.

[@kojivisuals]

Thanks brother. I havent tried 23mm yet; but I have the viltrox 24mm f1.8. It looks good with soft bokeh; but the issue is overtime i find the jpg sooc color not natural

[@canucklehead28]

Great video! Keep it up!

[@kojivisuals]

thanks！！

[@timoohlsen]

Great review, subscribed! 😊

[@andybelii]

Ohhh! Good review, Man. Thank you. What you think about viltrox 75 mm? And sigma 16-50? Do you like zoom lens ?

[@kojivisuals]

Hi andy thanks! Viltrox 75mm is a superv portrait lens , but video is slow on autofocus. For sigma 18-50, i like this zoom lens. But, I just like F1.4 and F1.8 more 😋😋 Bokeh and Low Light is very nice

[@andybelii]

@@kojivisuals good , thank you… I think what to buy … full frame like Sony a7iv or Sony a7rv or just but lens for my zve10… I understand that ff cost more money, but…

[@kojivisuals]

@@andybelii Full frame is a really good, but the full frame lenses can be big and expensive. If you do service for commercial/wedding. It is good. If u do content creation, sigma 18-50 and zv-e10 is good enough. The image quality is great on apsc camera. We only lose out on Bokeh and Low Light compared to Full Frame. Also, we can always sell the body & lens at a good price to others. Sony camera has good value.

[@andybelii]

@@kojivisuals maybe, you know, if I want for future buy full frame )) what will be recommended a7rv or a7iv for video and photo for know… ? Or just buy a7c ii , but price like a7rv ))))

[@teresitorabaya6401]

The catalyst browse stabilization is awesome...better than a gimbal stabilization I think

[@kojivisuals]

Yeah the catalyst browse is awesome! But the gimbal shld be more smooth, i have tried to speed ramp both catalyst browse and gimbal footage; gimbal is more smooth. I think I nid to make a video abt zve10 stabilisation on gimbal vs active/catalyst browse stabilised

[@jeremyg9305]

What's interesting is after dealing with the fairly heavy distortion on the Sony 11mm, you actually end up with am image that seems slightly more zoomed in than the viltrox, meanwhile, doing corrections like this isn't free, pixels are in a grid and as soon as you have to bend them out of order, you are throwing away a large number of them and rearranging the rest.. Major degradation.

[@osricvale]

One question tho. I have sony fx30 and i dont have any lens right now. I am in between to get sigma 1.4 16mm plus tamron 28-75 g2 or i can get only this lens and call the day! I am looking for video shooting mostly(like ancient ruins, zoo, jungle, hiking, church, streets animals) and some photos here and there. I am also going to shoot talking head videos in door. I am also planning to use 4k 120fps option in Fx30 which has 1.5 more crop on top of apsc crop! I need to know 3 important aspects about these lenses! 1- f1.8 vs f.1.4 How big of the difference especially for low light in door recordings with my fx30! I am bit worried about sensor being apsc and underperforms in low light. So should i really prioritize 1.4 over 1.8? I have done some research and find out 1.4 lets almost 2 times amount light than 1.8! 2- I am really worried about distortion that sony 11mm has. I know we can use in camera corrections on fx30 body! But for me while shooting talking head i dont want my face to look weird because of extreme wide angle and distortion! Is it a problem with sony lens? Also while shooting some historical places i would not want to see curved lines! 3- I am a bit worried about viltrox 13mm image quality! Sony looks way better, much punchier, much sharper and it is also a native lens for fx30! Also both lenses are same price in my country! Should i value that sony is native, have better focusing performance and same price with viltrox or should i go for viltrox and give up from that 2 mm but get brighter aperture and less distorted but less punchy and less sharp image quality with viltrox! Thanks for reply in advance!

[@DavidMiller-rt7ld]

The 16mm Sigma is the most comfortable lens of all time, your choice is right. The 16mm x 1.5mm = 24mm focalleght is the best wide with no slight distortion, I guarantee there will be no regrets

[@diesolit]

I didn't see no face distortion from the sony 11m. somebody please explain

[@SyafiqIkhwan]

how far viltrox 13mm can zoom? is it same to zve10 kit lens?

[@martinezq1]

no, can not zoom

[@arumichannel12]

Fix lens bro

[@JirolBikes]

great content

[@kojivisuals]

Thanks jirol

[@techrj3006]

Love your review bro

[@kojivisuals]

Very much appreciate it !

[@Ntthaibk]

bro why you not making a night footage to compare them. I really want to see what different 1.4 can make in low light situation

[@kojivisuals]

Nice idea 👍👍

[@balkangetaway]

The viltrox background while vlogging looks much better in the trees. On the 11 it looks very sharp and mechanical.

[@educationforall5458]

Would love to get viltrox

[@randomname931]

Viltrox for me

[@benderamyadventure]

thank for tutor and inform

[@kojivisuals]

You are welcome !

[@Weedeogram]

11mm is super small & light. at F1.8, it's good enough for low light.

[@kojivisuals]

What abt the 13mm ? Do u like it?

[@Weedeogram]

@@kojivisuals yup, more advantage on low light.

[@NinPossible]

The Sony one is cheaper now (according to your links). 😳

[@jimrocky]

I love Sony's lens design and build. Small & compact. Thing is, too pricey compared to 3rd party lenses.

[@kojivisuals]

The sony 11mm build is simple and rock solid, doesn’t collect much fingerprint too. Yup, the price of it… can buy full frame lense

[@michaelwhiles5282]

Viltrox by a country mile 😀

[@fredfred9758]

The viltrox makes skin tones look horrible also noticeably warmer

[@themarauder8006]

You can still fix that in the photoshop.

[@emiit3]

​@@themarauder8006 But how can u fix this in videos?
