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

Today I compare three of the best lenses available for the Sony APS-C system: The Sony 15mm f1.4, the Sigma 16mm f1.4 and the Viltrox 13mm f1.4.
You really can't go wrong with either of these lenses, but hopefully this video will help you decide which one is best for you.

[@braethorn]

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?

Hi, I want to upgrade my kit lens from the zv-e10. My main use will be toy reviews and toy photography. Right now I could afford just one.

Thanks in advance, you reviews are awesome.

[@arjumandvillagecooking]

Great video From GB

[@coltric4693]

Thinking about getting the Sigma 16mm f1.4 lens mostly due to its affordability compared to the other two. 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. 😃

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The M3 motors are really strong and once it’s balanced, it won’t ever have an issue. It can handle far more weight than the zv-e10 and sigma when balanced.

[@steveloudon7491]

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.

[@kashyew]

I might get the Viltrox 13 for my lil' dougie to do vlog-style shooting and the studio just because it's cheaper than buying two separate lenses for both purposes. But if I had my way, I would get the Sigma 16 for studio/talking-head and the Sony 11 for vlog-style projects.

types the 11 and 16 is a great combo. but the viltrox does do it all

Good info on this one, Mark. Just out of curiosity, any word on Sigma putting out a wider lens than the 16mm with the f1.4? I think the Viltrox 13mm f1.4 is wide enough for my stuff, but wider would give me more options.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

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.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

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. Once you know that - you can go pick up a sharp low aperture lens like the Sigma 16, 30, 56 for example.

you shouldn’t see any noticeable vignetting with step up rings, but the filter I recommend is the KandF - and since it’s only $70 - you might as well get the proper size so you don’t have to mess with step up rings. the 55mm filter will keep the lens nice and compact amzn.to/3uMIB39

@RielMarqz the 16 is a wide angle which a lot of people prefer for landscapes and cityscapes and you’ll be able to film yourself. the 30 will give you a field of view that the human eye sees. The 30 will be too tight to film yourself unless you are pretty far from the camera. It’s good to emulate what you see walking around so it’s a good street photography and general shooting is good with the 30

Where could I find the Viltrox 13mm 1.4 for the Sony Emount? I just had found for Fuji Or can I use Fuji for Sony Emount too?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

It has to be emount www.indiegogo.com/projects/viltrox-13mm-f1-4-lens-ultra-wide-angle-vlog-beast?ref=l3uul5m3dc#/

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Cool, thanks

What Would Be Your Recommendation For An a7IV. For "Horror Nights Maze Walk-Around". Do You Think It Would Be Worth It, To Invest In An "FE"? I'm No PRO, Yet ;) Thanks For Sharing!!!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I’m would choose the Viltrox 16 - check out my review on it kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4enm4Nte9yYZ7csi=SYm1esTvjxvbcMBg

Gotta say the 15mm on ZV-E10 looks ok framing using Active Steady Shot and very good using Catalyst Browse. Were you hand holding the camera or was it on a stick?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

on a little ulanzi tripod

[@bradl2636]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I think I get it... yes it looks not bad to me TBH not too tight with the framing.

[@bradl2636]

Have you compared the 15mm f1.4 to the newish 10-20mm f4 @15mm in image quality terms? I have the 11mm f1.8 and 20mm f1.8 and I’m debating if the 15mm prime vs the zoom might be better option for 80% photography vs 20% video use case (bias to nefarious nocturnal activities but not always)… your thoughts?

[@OliWinchester]

Mark you need to help me out. In one of your earlier videos you were talking about a "grainy-looking egypt pyramid documentary". Any chance you can remember the title? I think my basement is haunted and I'm looking for some spooky atmosphere inspiration to film those sort of things.... I'm asking for a friend of course...

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

It was actually about the recent Egypt revolution not the pyramids - Tahir Square I think it’s called on Netflix. So probably not the spooky thing you’re looking for 🤣

Hi Mark, You mentioned that the Sony 15mm is good to balance on the gimbal and the viltrox isnt. How about the Sigma 16mm, will it balance on the M2s or M3?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The sigma is the same as the Viltrox - works on the M3 but not the m2s

[@saikat8451]

Please recommend a lens for Sony Alpha 6000.Mostly for sharp nature and portrait photography.Note: very much beginner

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

the sigma 56mm 1.4 is definitely the best for that.
