Sony Made My Dream Lens

This one is intriguing. I have a rokinon full frame but hare manual focus.

[@pixxelpusher]

[@aminam8600]

Same

[@tenphan0n0]

I use the Tamron 11-20mm for real estate. Since I mostly shoot indoors, I could use more light, but I'd take the zoom feature over a faster lens when I'm trying to get in and out of shoots.

[@pixxelpusher]

@@tenphan0n0 I too like the versatility of a zoom lens especially after having lots of primes, and F2.8 isn't too bad. I've recently picked up the 17-70mm F2.8 and it's now my goto lens of choice for everyday shooting.

[@Trance88]

This lens seems super impressive. It has really intrigued my interest, as I do a lot of close range photography at events. It's always hard to get full body shots with anything higher than a 30mm lens when you're only 3-5 feet from a subject with a crop sensor camera. That aperture is soooo good at 1.8.

[@OttosTheName]

Going after? I don't know. It's a good alternative for those with pay double the price of the sigma or four times the price of the samyang, I bet they also perform much better, but they're not really targeting the same customers. And honestly with its lack of OSS I wouldn't even pick the 10-20 over the old 10-18 if they were the same price. But... it's good that Sony is áctually designing APS-C lenses again. I just wonder if this comeback is in time to convince people they are actually not abandoning APS-C after all.

I have the Laowa and it is great for building exteriors. No need for auto-focus! I'll keep the Laowa.

[@JeffCorcelius]

I'm right there with you on the 11mm. I think reliable auto focus is the key factor to buy over the Rokinon. The clarity of the Lowa 9mm is why I picked that up over the Roinon. I really need to get to a photo shop and test all these new sony lenses out before I'd choose one.

I bought this a few weeks ago because of your video. Even though I mainly shoot FF now, I wanted an inexpensive ultra wide lens for my secondary aps-c camera. Anyhow, on my recent beach trip, I ended up using my 6100/sony 11mm way more than my a7iii w/a sigma 70-200mm. I absolutely love this little lens. Thank you for recommending it!

After selling the Rokinon ages ago, I found I wanted it again. I just ordered another, but now I'm thinking I should have looked at Sony 11mm pre-order options. Oh well, I might try it out at some point.

[@ckdesignlab]

Me too. I was also looking at the Rokinon 12mm but I'll wait on this new lens from Sony. $250 for the Rokinon is just so tempting. I have the Sigma 16mm 1.4 and absolutely love it but a 11mm or 12mm may be worth it for wider shots.

[@networm64]

Sony is not only 1mm wider which is a big bonus but it is also 3rd of a stop brighter. Also not to mention it is smaller and lighter a bit. but the biggest issue of the rokinon which nobody emphasize as much as they should is its bad CA and flare control.

9mm and 11mm is big difference. Laowa is plenty sharp lol, nobody will see a difference. Otherwise there is something wrong with your copy. If you are making real estate photos, especially from tripod, laowa is much better. For real estate videos i would probably take 11mm sony. For general use i would take sony, altho even that depends.. if i would also own sony 15mm i would maybe still take laowa.

[@NeoRimeOnline]

Do you think it's worth keeping the Sigma 16mm f1.4 if you own this 11mm Sony?

[@preformingmonkey]

I feel the f1.8 is uncessesary because often you want a wide lens to focus to infinity due to the nature of the photos it takes. It's not often I find myself wanting a shallow DOF when taking ultra wide photos. The 15mm 1.4 on the other hand is interesting, would love to see a side by side with the sigma 16mm. I still probably won't buy it though. Would have loved for a 16-35 1.8

[@nothingtobeconcernedabout7477]

The 1.8 is probably tailored to people vlogging. If you headshot vlog you might actually want the bokeh quite often. I think the usefulness of 1.8 is highly dependent on use. I do regularly videos of my talking head for presentations and speeches. If it wasn't 1.8 I wouldn't even consider it.

[@preformingmonkey]

@@nothingtobeconcernedabout7477 that's fair dos I suppose. I use my laowa 9mm for real estate videos and even at 2.8 sometimes I feel it impedes on the minimum focus distance!

[@Pharesm]

1) SONY must have realized, that without one of these 3 new wide angle lenses, the SONY ZV-e10 wasn't really able to do its job properly! 2) Who is going to buy CANON's new APSC cameras, with SONY nicely exacerbating Canon's problems with a severe lack of native lens selection? 3) Your 9mm Laowa lens is not made obsolete! Auto-focus is more of a potential hindrance for Astro . . . 4) Put your Laowa in the closet for 3 months before you sell it.

[@lukazupie7220]

11mm apsc is 16,5mm equivalent, so that will be no wider. And 1.8 apsc aperture will act similar as 2.8 on FF. Only reason to buy 11mm is size and weight. Or if your camera crops in certain video modes maybe.

Hi Arthur (and internet in general). I'm a NOOOOB when it comes to camera gear. I have a small KZbin channel that focuses on mountain biking. I currently use a GoPro for both POV footage (which I'll continue to use) and selfie/vlog clips (which isn't ideal). But I'm looking to buy the Sony FX30 for three purposes: (1) hand-held outside vloging, (2) indoor office selfies (tripod) and (3) action filming people riding mountain bikes. All video, no stills. My question is about lenses. I'd like to keep my lenses down to two if possible (or could I get away with one?). My guess is one for the selfies and one for the action shooting? I like the idea of using Sony APS-C lenses. You clearly love the "E 11mm F1.8". Sounds like that would work for selfie/vlogs. Would that work for action shots? Should I get another for shooting mountain bikers (10-30 feet away)? My initial look are at: E 11mm F1.8 E 15mm F1.4 G E PZ 10-20mm F4 G Could I get away with just one of those? If not, do two stand out?

[@7784000]

I don't know if there is plenty of light where you are planning to film mountainbikers, bit assuming that you will record some slo mo footage (at higher shutter speeds) i would definetly choose the 11mm F1.8 or the 15mm F1.4 due to their higher aperture to keep the iso as low as possible. So it is more of a question of how far away to your subject you are and how big your captured scene should be. So for more extra wide-angle i would chose the 11 mm F1.8 and for the other purposes maybe the 10-20F4 if you still need it. 💁‍♂️ Unfortunately the sony 10-20 is just F4 but you may also have a look at the tamron 11-20 F2.8 which is one aperture brighter as a compromise. And maybe consider a gimbal for smooth camera panning.
