[@aloveoutreach]

I'm the guy sitting in the small office space. I need a new camera badly. But the price of that reccomended 16mm f/1.4 sigma lens blows me out of the water! Close to the price of the camera. Ouch! Back to drawing board for me I guess!! Thanks for the video though!! Thumbs up!!

The lens got discontinued on the Sony mount. You can still grab it on deals ( labor day? Fathers day? ), but I bought mine 9 months ago for $300. Now I see it for $375. It's still widely available, but explaining what's driving the cost. Also this is a great channel.

thank you! I've been working with my canon 200D and kit lens for the last 5 years, and felt like it was time for an upgrade, but I felt like going up to the ZV-1 although cool, would be overkill, so I've been looking at sony gear for the first time and I have settled on the ZV E10, and was unsure what lenses would work best for me, but this video pretty much answered all my questions! Love filming, but I'm just not a tech head - so this is was super helpful!

[@hutchmills]

but one important thing to mention, since it aps c, the lens is always cropped and be messured by 1,5x. Means, 16 mm on aps c is like 24 mm

[@NicholasJamesJohnson]

Yep, but since this entire video was shot on APSC, if you only own an APSC camera, you don’t need to do any conversions, you just need to get used to what 16 mm looks like on APSC

[@ShamarShantel]

Thanks for this video . But I have the sigma 30mm for vlogging but I am really close up in frame and the camera has to be rally for a way to get a good wide shot . Is that normal ?

[@NicholasJamesJohnson]

Yeah with 30mm and the zve10 you probably need the camera about 6 feet away for a medium shot. Make sure you don’t have active steady shot turned on, that will zoom it in a little further still. If you need the camera super close to you, you might consider the 16mm f/1.4 lens instead.

Hey man - awesome video. I am considering purchasing this camera with the 50mm lense (option 3). I wanted to ask, how far away from the camera are you sat in option 3 at 2.29?

[@NYGOLD]

I have a crappy youtube channel about aquarium fish. Is there a lens that's good for portrait type talking head shots and macro? I need clear, in focus video of small moving fish. Thanks

[@NicholasJamesJohnson]

How much space dip you have in the room where you're doing the talking head shots? I LOVE my 105mm Sigma Macro lens. It can shoot VERY close up and is also a portrait lens. But you'd need quite a bit of space to shoot with that long of a lens on the portrait side. It looks like Sony makes a 35mm Macro lens also. Called SEL30M35

[@NYGOLD]

[@MyCineSpectrum]

[@thebase11]

One lens that's click good detailed pictures and shoots good quality pictures.... Please recommend

[@meemamakes]

What lens would you recommend for overhead filming? I do fairly zoomed in crochet tutorials, I’m new to cameras, and have just got the Sony zv e10 with the kit lens and I’m struggling to get the same quality shot as I got with my phone. Thankyou for a very informative video 😊

[@NicholasJamesJohnson]

Your situation comes with a few variables.. How will you mount the top down camera? How far away from your hands do you want it? Just how zoomed in are we talking, because they make some lenses where you could have the whole screen be just the tips of those needles and that would be super cool looking but also really hard to keep it in frame as you work.. Generally I would start with a 24-70 f/2.8 so that you can zoom through the range with it, and also if you’re struggling to get the quality you probably didn’t have enough light for the kit lens. (The kit lens requires a lot of light for a really clear picture, but can be television quality if you do it right)

[@meemamakes]

@@NicholasJamesJohnson wow Thankyou for such a detailed reply. This is very helpful. I have a tripod that has a bar that comes out to do top down but will be getting a C stand once we move and I have a bigger office. I need both my hands on the screen so not too zoomed into the tip of the hook. My current tutorials you can see my hands but not much from my wrist down but I do often bring my hands closer to the camera for detailed bits. I have invested in some better lights so looking forward to trying to see how that helps with the kit lens. Thanks again and happy Christmas (if you celebrate).

[@TherealFelo]

How bout the 35mm ?

[@feriak1975]

Hello Nickolas, Great and informative video, please I would really appreciate it if you read my comment and reply. I do cooking videos and I would like to find Sony camera lens that is able to take 4k image to a cooking pan from about a meter away to avoid the heat and the splashing oil but at the same time to be able to zoom very close to get a micro image to the ingredients. I would really appreciate your help.

[@NicholasJamesJohnson]

From a meter away, with the ZV-E10 camera, you'd want a Sony 50mm.. I actually just got the Sony 50mm f/1.4 from Sigma and it's SUPER SHARP. It would probably be more useful to get a zoom lens, though, in case you discover the camera is still in your way and you want to put it a little further away, in which case I would suggest the Sigma 50-100mm 1.8 (if youre on the ZVE10, but if youre on full frame get the 24-70mm f/2.8 instead)

[@garygray5040]

Excellent vid

Thanks

[@AleksandrBaryakh]

Great video!)

[@Sumer_Podcast]

What is the appropriate lens if I want to use this camera to shoot a podcast, three cameras.

[@NicholasJamesJohnson]

Youre saying youre using three of this same camera to shoot a podcast? The appropriate lens depends heavily not he space youre shooting in. If you have a large space with a lot of room behind there participants you'd want to shoot with a longer lens for a nicer look - but if its a tiny room and youre right against a wall then you'll have no choice but to choose a shorter lens. What's your space look like?

[@dorukyalcinsoy]

How about the kit lens? It has no use?

[@NicholasJamesJohnson]

It’s not that the kit lens has no use; but the kit lens will have a lot of limitations. It requires more light, so shooting indoors comes with more compensation. It has a limited aperture size, so in the case where you WANT the background blurred out, the kit lens can do that to a lesser degree, the footage will look more like sitcom footage. But certainly not everyone wants blurry backgrounds all the time so there is plenty of use for it.

[@dorukyalcinsoy]

@@NicholasJamesJohnson thanks for the response. Keep up the great content

[@michaelshurkin613]

Is the kit lens any good for in-studio talking head videos in a small space?

[@NicholasJamesJohnson]

@@michaelshurkin613 a kit lens will work just fine; basically the difference will be in the depth of field (how blurry you can get your background) and how much light you need for a low enough ISO setting to get a super clean looking picture.

[@jennywchan]

Do you have any recommendations for a macro lens? Like for showcasing arts and craft tutorials, or making mini clay figures? Thank you! :)

[@NicholasJamesJohnson]

Hmmm, it really depends on the particular project.. For REALLY small stuff - I would say get your hands on a Sigma 105mm 2.8 Macro. I really really like that lens for macro stuff; I helped shoot an artists work where she makes these little sculptures out of money that are meant to look like drugs and they're super small but I wanted to be able to shoot them totally full screen and that was perfect for it.. But if youre talking about arts and crafts that are bigger, like kitchen table top something or other - then you might be better off with a 70-200 2.8, since those can be stood back further but zoomed in further. The closer up you get in Macro, the thinner the plane of focus and the less things will be in focus at once. But it looks so good! I should really make a whole macro video, now that I think of it.

[@jennywchan]

@@NicholasJamesJohnson Wow, you are amazing, thank you for the thoughtful informative response. YES, make a whole macro video!! :D

[@juliereagan2788]

[@Adam-pd7lh]

Very helpful video. Could you please help me sir, I plan to make videos mostly outside, stationary, with slow movement (for moving and talking I have an action camera) occasionally in studio. When outside ideally would be if the camera was close to me(to not be steal by someone LOL) cause I have no cameraman yet. I also plan to make short movies, filming ambience etc. Is Sigma 30mm good option or is there something better for my uses. Thanks in advance.

[@thekfjbro14]

Damn i was finding the exact video !!!

[@JoshForet]

Man I love the look of the Sigma 56mm 1.4 but I only have about 10 feet to work with.. would it be crazy to try to pull off talking head with this or would I need a lot more space?

[@NicholasJamesJohnson]

If youre on an apsc camera, 10 feet will not be enough space.. I mean, unless you want to be like strictly your head and shoulders - In which case it would be so spectacularly clear and lovely, but also sooooooo close up.. yeah..

[@sion1885]

what recommendation would you have for doing over head filming? I mainly do scale model work and airbrushing. filming the air booth scenes is always hard to keep focus plus dealing with keeping the airbrush coming in frame and taking the focus off painting the object and I try to have as much light as I can because it's a even smaller area to work in. great video again.

[@NicholasJamesJohnson]

If the thing your airbrushing doesn’t move up or down, just side to side, I would set the focus from above and then switch your camera into manual mode so the focus doesn’t change from there. Otherwise shoot at like f5 or f8 and crank the iso up to compensate. That 10-20mm zoom would be a good lens choice so you can get nice and wide, but that all depends on how high up you have your camera mounted for the top down.

[@sion1885]

@@NicholasJamesJohnson Yea The only lens I was using is the kit lens that came with the 10. I bought from a brother the Sony 55-210/ f4.5-f6.3 it works really well I have it on a tripod about 4 to 5 feet extended out over me.

this was extremely helpful! And I can't believe how timely. I've been researching cameras and lenses non-stop since yesterday. I'm a total beginner. I had settled on getting the Sony ZV E10, but couldn't decide which lens and then I saw your video! I'm thinking about either the first one you showed or the last one. I saw your other video about which lenses to use for talking head videos. (which was also SO EXTREMELY helpful!! It was exactly the type of video I'd been wanting to see). I'm trying to relate the information I learned in both these videos and my other research. The 16mm f1.4 lens that you showed - would that be akin to 24mm after the 1.5 crop in the Sony ZV E10? And so it would be similar to Peter McKinnon's field of view? And the 10-18mm f4 lens that you showed - would that be the most similar to Casey Neistat's videos' field of view? I like that really personal, inviting the viewer into your space - type of feel in my videos, so I've been trying to hone in on lenses that do that. Thank you so much for all your information. it's been so informative! I've absolutely subscribed! :)

[@NicholasJamesJohnson]

Yep! Both of those assumptions are correct about the field of view of the 16mm and 10-18mm. Sigma JUST announced their own 10-18mm at 2.8 (better) for less money (also better) for Sony cameras. You can find it on B&H website if you go that route! And thank you so much for the compliments!! I love making these, and it’s great to see positive feedback from people in the search for their look!

Hey Nicholas, the 11mm 1.8 or the 16mm for small rooms , when i want nice bokeh and show a little from the room background?

[@NicholasJamesJohnson]

It depends on what you’re doing in the video, but I would go with the 16mm. 11mm is so wide that it can distort your face IF you’re shooting where your head and upper body fill up most of the frame. But if you’re back a ways and demonstrating something where you need to see like a whole wall in the room, that 11mm would be the better choice.

[@Explorewithomoh]

Hi I do sit down videos and outdoor walking vlogs .. which lens is the absolute best for me

[@Explorewithomoh]

I use a Sony zve10

[@IMPACTRATED]

How does the zv-10 do for photographs? I been doing mostly videos but im getting more into photography, im wondering if this camera can do both equally good?

[@NicholasJamesJohnson]

The quality of the photographs you can get through the ZvE10 can be flawless. It has no inbody stabilization so you’d be best off with a stabilized lens, but even without one, the photos from that camera are extremely good!

[@jenniferhalliwell416]

Wow thank you for this. I don't understand camera lingo so the examples you gave helped out a ton! All I know is that I have a very tight space with a green screen. So, I am confined to the green screen so that the edges of it don't show, but I still wanted to film from my breasts up because they are big, and I wanted to show them off! I wasn't sure what lense to use but this helped me out a ton!

[@clevelandsfinestentertainment]

What lens do you think would be good for music videos

[@kayteekon]

Sony 24mm f/1.8 for prime and for zoom is Sigma 18-50mm F2.8

[@Quietlybuildingwealth]

Hi there, which lens would you recommend for gym video. I would like to have a blurred backround(people in the background) and can’t decide which one would be the best

[@NicholasJamesJohnson]

It’s tough because I’ll bet you want to show your whole body, and when you’re that wide, you won’t be able to blur the background so much that people back there are unidentifiable. Notice when I’m holding that heavy bag you can still see most of the stuff behind me. But for ease of shooting you’ll want something like the 16mm so that you don’t have to have the camera 8 feet away from you. 35 or 50mm would look a bit better but the camera will have to be really far back to get your whole body. For the super blurry background you’ll need to have a closeup, so if you’re just showing one part of your body that you’re working or just your face talking, that’s where you’ll get the real nice looking blurry background with a 50mm or 85mm. It’s a tough choice…

[@Quietlybuildingwealth]

It is okay if people are visible, I just don’t want their faces to be very clear because of the GDPR thing. Then I can just explain to people that they are blurred in the background. I’ve been researching lenses for the past 2-3 months and still feel unsure haha😅 I will probably get something like 16 mm then and try it out

[@Quietlybuildingwealth]

Thank you for your reply though, I appreciate it!

[@JesseNovak-c4n]

I was told 11mm is best for fitness videos. Would you agree or do you stand by 24 or 30?

[@NicholasJamesJohnson]

Well it depends a lot on the space you’re in. 11mm is SUPER wide, so if you have a really small space you’d need something like that. But if you are able to set your camera up maybe 10 feet or so away from you, a 24mm will end up looking a lot better. Basically they produce a really different look. Those super wides will do a fisheye effect like an old skate video. WHICH can look awesome under certain circumstances! There is a pretty nice 10-20mm zoom that would give you options with a single lens.

[@tambay2005]

recommemd lens for sports videography?? ty

[@NicholasJamesJohnson]

I would have to recommend the 70-200mm f/2.8 from Sony. It’s got stabilization and incredible optical quality. But without knowing your budget it could easily be way too much lens!:)

[@tech_pbi]

If I get a 10-18mm then I do not need 16mm prime I guess?

To me sigma 30 f1.4 or sigma 18-50 f2.8 . 16 is good cause you can crop but less bokeh than 30 mil . 💋
