Sony ZV-E10: The ONE Accessory You Need to Know About

[@WorksIRL]

Man, you have taught me so much about Sony, Canon and Fuji cameras but more importantly, I’ve struggled with understanding aperture, ISO and shutter speed after watching so many other channels try to explain it but you have some strange power to finally help me understand the relationship of those three…FINALLY! I’ve been binge-watching your videos and just wanted to finally leave you a comment saying thank you for your consistent delivery to those of us who aspire to become better photographers and videographers. Your camera and product reviews are so helpful and your reinforcing basic knowledge throughout your videos in such a personal direct way like we’re hanging out with you in your studio is extremely unique and welcoming to view. Please keep it up! 👍👏

[@markwiemels]

Wow, what an incredibly kind and thoughtful message. Thank you for taking the time to share this, it means a lot.

[@MelodyHC]

@markwiemels what accessory I need to buy if I would like to use my alpha lens on my ZV E10?

[@Faithfinder232]

I subbed to this guy just because of your comment, hope its not a bot :D

[@WorksIRL]

@@Faithfinder232 I’m not a “bot”…at least I don’t think I am…maybe we’re all in a simulation and just don’t realize it and if we are it can’t be all that bad since we’re still interested in learning more about photography from Mark! 🤣

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Great info. This will help a lot of people with Canon EF glass grab a little ZV-E10!!

[@gigihanmandarin]

hi mark

[@chowhar]

Please get and test against native lenses!

[@markwiemels]

It's shocking how well it works.

[@chowhar]

@@markwiemels I don't understand! Adapters always have focus issues. How did they do this to be like native?!

[@markwiemels]

@@chowhar I have no idea, I’m only sharing what I’m experiencing. This one is a new release, so maybe the technology has improved.

[@seanchen9265]

Owner of Sony ZVE10 here, yea stay with the kits lens until got the money to buy better lens for my vlogging & studio. It will take time but I agree with you. Will buy the adapter.

[@raynbow6]

Total game changer seeing this 😀 This has opened up so many more affordable options. Great video!!

[@natecody5445]

I am 100% going to buy this. I am currently taking a filmmaking course at a local technical school. I bought a zve10 a while back and have been meaning to buy more lenses. And i ran into the problem of them all being expensive. But my school is a canon school. So i was looking into getting an adapter and all I found where mechanical adapters that didn't include autofocus. I am now going to go buy this and have access to my schools lenses and be able to use them on my personal camera

[@InGusWeTrust810]

I'm starting school Sep 3rd for Videography basically and so I'm gonna see if my school will let me use their lenses because the prices are crazy, I need to run up a KZbin check first lol

[@LauraElisabet]

Thank you so much for the great tutorials, please do more videos for Sony ZVE 10, im so grateful for video like this!

[@lewcehjitl3282]

Just got a zv-e10 such an awesome little hybrid camera! The Sony 11mm f1.8 is my next buy.

[@markwiemels]

I think the Viltrox 13mm is better than the Sony 11, just my opinion, it also goes to 1.4 and had less distortion, being 13 instead of 11.

[@walkseeworld888]

great idea thx u. i just brought ZVE10 and looking for a lens.💖

[@m4verick6666]

i´ve tried 2 adapters on my sony a6000 for ef lenses. both for around 90 bucks and with both i couldnt use continuous autofocus when shooting video. in the end spent 600 bucks and bought the tamron 17-70 2.8 as an amazing alrounder.

[@saladin_r]

I have the zve-10, 18-35, and the mc-11 adapter. Maybe the 7artisans is better than the sigma adapter, but mine does not function as well as a native Sony lens or a native e Mount sigma lens. If you are pulling focus manually, then the issues don't matter and this lens is just beautiful to shoot both photo and video. While it does have continuous autofocus in video, it hunts like crazy past the 30mm focal length and at 35 the hunting occurs 50% of the time becoming essentially too unreliable to use. The hunting issue goes up considerably when using active stabilization to try and squeeze out additional reach There are a few other quirks I have noticed, like the focus assist magnification in DMF doesn't work, and the only way to put it in manual focus is with the switch on the side, and because of that I can't pull focus manually on my weebill s gimbal through a usb connection. Again, if you are focusing manually, or are behind the camera and can run your scene again if you experience hunting issues, then this lens is in a class of it's own. Really too bad sigma hasn't re-released this for e Mount, it would be the best selling aps-c lens by a mile. Fyi my lens and adapter are fully updated with the latest firmware.

[@markwiemels]

I will have some tests of this adapter, with that lens, on the channel soon.

[@Giorginho]

This would work on any Sony camera, right? Sony A6700, for example.

[@backpacksash4866]

I love my Sigma Art Series 24-105 F4 or my 85mm f1.8 with the speed booster adapter on my ZVE10. Bought it for 120 bucks and it is a bang for the buck. The speed booster is even better than a normal adapter, brings in more light and you get one full fstop better (f4 becomes f2.8 on the ZV-E10 and its reducing also the focal length with factor x0.71) etc. The ZV-E10 is a great second camera I always carry with me and also use it as a webcam.

[@ScottRoofwalker]

Ordered this Tuesday with your link. It’s supposed to be here today. I’m super excited and I think I found the sigma lens for $400 on marketplace

[@ChrisBrogan]

So, I didn't know this. But I also have a question that MIGHT sound dumb. I have a Sony A6000. Is everything you said for the ZV-E10 true for the A6000 as well?

[@aprnb249]

yes!

[@Guitarstic]

I have a problem with the weight of the Sigma 18-35mm - The Zve10 is made of plastic and only has 4 screws on the mount, that means that over time the weight can break the mount

[@ExploringAndMe]

Why the 50 mm has better lowlight as the kit lens? Also does the 40 mm have better lowlight too? Lowlight is important to me

[@bartomalatesta5652]

The lower the aperture the more light hits the sensor, therefore better in now light

[@xuchenglin6256]

I think you should mention "AUTO FOCUS WORKS WITH ADAPTOR!" in the beginning of the video. For a long time we have an impression that yeah adaptor works, you can put any lens on it, but you lost that AF, which is a deal-breaker. Until 4:55 finally I know OK, AF works, this can work. Because AF is important for most people, so it should be mentioned right at the beginning. I think you should even change that video cover picture to some big bold red font of "AF Works!". That will be encouraging. Video is informative, keep it up!

[@sssdeecee]

I was surprised to learn that AF works with the adaptor. This is not the case with the Pentax PK to Sony EF adaptor.

[@NajiOnTop]

Auto focus is the reason why I choosed Sony zv e10

Many thanks Mark for the heads up.

[@KNAPPAID]

You forgot one specific thing - it depends on the focus motor . Usm and stm lenses work better , most non L or Stm lenses uses micromotor and they are slow , unreliable and painful to use.

True.

I'll try this 7Artisans adapter. I have Canon 100mm F2.8 Macro and Viltrox Adapter but the focus doesn't work great. I hunts like crazy and never focus perfectly/ I don't know that could be the problem and not really sure if the Viltrox adapter is compatible with my ZV-E10

Awesome, I think you will enjoy it. Just as an additional tip, that I should have included in the video. It can be a bit of a 2 in 1 lens, with the look you can get, it has a really interesting vintage look at f0.95, but stop it down to f1.4 or f2.0 and the image starts to look more like a modern lens, with higher contrast.

[@fastman454]

Mark, does using this adapter change anything regarding the focal length since the sensor is further from the lens using this adapter? might seem like a silly question but considering how focal length determines the viewing angle, i would think we are adding a crop factor ontop of the already 1.5 crop factor an APSC camera already has. thanks, and good video otherwise

[@markwiemels]

No, no change.

[@HKBian]

If one relies on eye-detect AF absolutely nailing focus in video, then one wouldn't take any risk with adapted solutions. It's cheaper if you shoot non-demanding stills or if you manual focus your video. However, if one manual focuses for video, there are so many other choices out there.

[@markwiemels]

In my testing of this specific adapter, this is no difference between a native Sony lens and the canon lenses I have tested with this adapter.
