Sony 16-50mm Kit Lens is Awesome! [ZV-E10]

[@henryascension8702]

Especially as a beginner it is easy to distract yourself with thinking you need better gear to be able to create the content you want to create. This is completely bs and only a way of distracting yourself from stepping into the own creative power. Thanks for triggering this inside of me to get to awareness again.

[@roydavid5761]

You can even use clear image zoom to extend it even further. My tip is that you can lock the aperture at 5.6 and that will get rid of the variable aperture at all focal lengths.

[@TexpatOTG]

I have 4 of these because one came with every camera I've purchased. I only use one. It was made in Thailand and is noticeable better than the other three. But agree with you it is a very useful lens. I use my lens for video only .. and it, and my 18-105mm PZ are always on a body and ready to go. 16mm is ok for vlogging too. Good review Cheers.

[@skepsys]

hi. where were the other three made? i've searched a bit and all i see is made in thailand.. and what did tou find better in the one made in thailand?

[@TexpatOTG]

@@skepsys I used color and focus charts to test these lenses in as controlled environment as possible. The one lens had significantly better corner sharpness trhought the zoom range and its color and contrast is better than the others. Not sure why but don't feel country of origin has much to do with it. Probably is some kind of build and QC issue. The other three varied significantly in quality. All were usable, but the one lens was definitely best. Thanks for watching my video. Cheers

Your color grading is top tier!

[@Romafedorov]

Thanks!

[@benjaminpjr.1621]

Thaks for this video sir Roma. Using the kit lens as well for my ZV E10 and it gets the job done! 🙌🏻

[@Romafedorov]

Great 👍

[@merccciii]

yup I agree. I’ve used this lens and it pleasantly surprised me! Very tempted to pick it up

[@speakerscoach]

I shoot *interviews* indoors with my Sony ZVe10 and this same 16-50mm kit lens. To keep costs down and reduce carrying heavy weight on jobs, I added the *Ulanzi* WL-3 Wide Angle Adapter and now its perfect. The most useful accessory Ive purchased is the Sony Bluetooth GP-VPT2BT. It can be used as a tripod or a remote; or both. Plus the Sony Bluetooth ECM-W1M microphone is super clear and extends over a long range. You need to be careful using off-market accessories with Sony cameras - but I can recommend the AC-PW20 dummy battery. It means I can shoot all day without ever worrying about power. My *studio settings* are File Format XAVC S 4K Record Setting 24p 100M Steady Shot Off Zoom Range ClearImage Zoom Focus Mode Continuous AF Focus Area Wide See You On Set

Kool. thanks for the tip. 👍

[@tt__shin]

I was looking at this lens for shooting me play guitar and this video came in clutch! EXACTLY what I wanted to see but didn't expect it, thank you so much!

[@Romafedorov]

Glad I could help!

[@officialyashvirgaming]

@@Romafedorov which camera did you use though for your video intro Was that ZCE10 or Sony 7R4

[@mikesrandomchannel]

GREAT video. Just starting my ZVE-10 journey and have this in the package. Can’t wait to get making content. And the point about learning my ideal focal length is 100% that. People rushing to buy a prime in 50 or 35 or whatever need to wait and see…

[@afnanayaseh7811]

Hey! Sorry for bothering.. I just wanna ask you, I purchased the ZV e10 with kit Lense 16-50 and I want to be a photographer, should I bring either 35 or 50mm? Or no need as a biggner

[@JWL216]

Yeah. It’s a great lens. Not the best but does a good job. First lens I went out after I got mine was a 11mm f1.8. Much better in low light and a nice wide aspect for video.

[@tuguldurariunbold]

Thank you! That's what i was searching for!

[@RiffsRhythm]

great video. Can you remember how far away your camera was away in your guitar shots? I'm guessing this was at 16mm? How big is your room in the guitar shots. Thanks

[@nanomiya790]

i wanna ask. i have a ulanzi teleprompter comes with an adapter. so if im using that sony 16-50 mm lens, i have to use 58mm adapter. am i correct?

[@alexeytretina]

Nice review, Roma. Thank you! You helped me to decide.

[@Romafedorov]

Glad to hear it!

[@TheThaiLife]

Awesome video and information man. I really want something like this for my A7IV. My 28mm is too tight for vlogging.

[@muzlee7479]

There is a 16-35 or a 14mm gm.

[@TheThaiLife]

@@muzlee7479 I'll go check out both. the 16-35 sounds great though. Thank you

[@lewcehjitl3282]

Try the Sony 11mm f1.8 for Sony apsc lens.

[@harishhari-lh6ub]

Decided me to purchase zv10. But one confusion..i will be purchasing sigma 30mm f1.4 with zve10..is it required to buy with kit lense? Or sigma 30mm is enough...i will be mostly using cinematic and photoshoot..so what will be your suggestion? Shall i buy only zve10 body only?

[@clopmusica]

Hola hermano, gracias por tu video. Quisiera preguntarte como lograr la calidad que tienes para youtube. Tengo la zv e 10, compro tu lut para la camara, me podrías decir como exportar para que no pierda calidad a la hora de subir a youtube o redes sociales? Gracias hermano.

[@tonymoore1671]

I am a beginner and love using the ZV e10 with the kit lens. Its hard to shoot in the bright sun I am finding. 2 questions - what filters do you suggest for the kit lens and id there a decent free photo editing software I can experiment with?

[@ankitraii_136]

Thank you so much for this information

[@Bombgamiing]

Which camera will you suggest for KZbin video if we have a good budget. ( not that heavy setup )

[@Romafedorov]

Probably Sony ZV-E1. Canon R8 also seems great.

[@wiama]

Can you put filter on the kit lens?

[@nimeshluhana4796]

Hey. I recently ordered the Sony ZV E10 with kit lens 16-50 and got it for 533 USD. I have shot some videos using my S20 FE 5G. For content creation, do you think that the ZV E10 with kit lens will be much better? I dont have the time to color grade or do such editing. I have two soft boxes and a led panel for studio recording.

[@probro7827]

Im have the camera sony a6400 with this lens and I’m so confused about what to do, upgrade first to lens that doesn’t have oss like the sigma line 16/30mm (lens with oss have no good low light performance)or first buy an stabiliser and not be sure if the kit lens is enough, can you help?

[@ionutsabo]

I've learned from another video that the e10 has this 4gb splitting the videos. I plan on using the e10 for video podcasting. For videos that would normally take around 7gb for 50 min at 1080p or around 24gb at 4k. What would be the pain points of the e10 is a scenario like mine? How do the video splits work back in premiere Pro for example? Would there be any noticeable cut?

[@jossfotucca]

gran video¡ congratulations

[@Mohammadparvazi]

Thanks

[@TRUEFFEL321]

If i want to shoot a landscape. on what F stop is the kit lens at its sharpest? around f8?

[@Romafedorov]

Yeah, probably F8. You should experiment and test it out.

[@junwah]

the microphone straight from the sony zv-E10 ? or you use external mic?

[@Romafedorov]

External mic. I used the RODE VideoMic GO II.

I just bought a used one I just bought a used one pz 16-50mm. I realise that the image always shake when zoom in and out, at a few certain focal lengthes. Also, I can’t change the speed of zooming by changing the zooming speed number at manual. Can't change the ring function into manual zoom too. Is this normal to this model, or my lens have problem?

[@muzlee7479]

Used it on a sony 6400. It's gargbage for photography. For video it's okay if you don't have literally anything else but you can get cheap sigma lenses that will look a million times better.

[@Romafedorov]

It's not garbage. I've got some great pictures with this lens. It's not the best, but it's not garbage.

[@matthieuzglurg6015]

@@Romafedorov saying "it's not the best" really is understating this lens. it is THE WORST kit lens out of any camera / lens maker that is currently being sold 15-45 Canon EF-M ? it blows this out of the water in terms of image quality 16-50 Nikon Z? Same deal. And it's just as compact without relying on a powerzoom Fuji 15-45? It's cheaper and way sharper Fuji 16-50 is just not even in the same league let's just not even talk about the Fuji 18-55 Even panasonic 14-42 lenses or 12-32 are just plain better for sharpness. The Sony 16-50 kitlens is not just "not great". It's the worst out of all the standard range crop sensor kitlenses on the market. So if being the worst lens out of the worst category of lenses doesn't make it a piece of hot garbage, I don't know what does.

[@muzlee7479]

@@Romafedorov at its price point it really is garbage. The images need a lot of post processing and the aperture is way too high. For photography there is no excuse to use this lens. Get a 50mm f1.2 for half the price with the drawback of being full manual, but that's not a problem for a 50mm. Or pay a little bit more and you can get some great sigma primes on the second hand market. I thought something was wrong with me for not liking the range it provides but after switching to ff and getting a 28-70 (same range) I realized it was the glass I hated. Cheap feeling with crappy power coom and bad image quality.

[@daddyswatchdouglas2666]

@Muz Lee I see the point of this entire video at the end. The camera is designed for beginners so there is a place to use this lens for 3-6 months and then go out and buy better glass after one has sorted out the basics of photography/ videography and determined what their needs are. Glass is expensive and one should know exactly what they need Also giving a negative comment without a solution is almost a crime against humanity. Have a great day

@@daddyswatchdouglas2666 I gave solution and this isn't a beginner camera. It's advertised as a vlog camera and compact video camera.

Sony ZV1. If you'll like the experience, you can then sell it and upgrade to the ZV-E10. The ZV-E10 is the better camera in every way, but you must pair it with a good lens for best experience.

[@tor2919]

Well a skilled person can make good work with anything. It’s not the gear that matters. But calling this lens “fantastic” doesn’t make any sense. In this price class of lenses I’d rate the Nikon Z 16-50 as the best one, it’s insanely good for the money Granted I’ve only tested this Sony lens briefly but could immediately see that it is not a good lens.

[@livejames9374]

I disagree haha. More like decent.
