TTArtisan 10mm F2: Exploring Ultra Wide Angle on APS-C Cameras

[@K268H]

Nice. Love the shots of 101 and the local streets. Makes me miss walking around the area

[@ConstantineSPhotography]

@@K268H thank you 😊 it’s indeed a great place for hiking!

[@Mandelrot]

I see this a as a great option for real estate photos; thank you for this interesting review.

[@ConstantineSPhotography]

Indeed it would be great for real estate, and it has f2 so no need to worry about low light.

[@poche660]

Excellent review. All your points were right on.

[@ConstantineSPhotography]

Thanks for supporting! Really glad to hear that!

Im very new to photography I need a little guidance I have: Sony A7R3 Sony A6000 Lens 55-210 4.5-6.3 Sony Lens 16-50 3.5-5.6 Sony Lens 10mm the lens in the video I got a steal on both cameras one came with the Sony lens kit I got the 10mm bc I felt like I wasn’t getting enough landscape. I’m currently in Japan for the next 4yrs and want to capture its beauty but I can’t get the 10mm to work correctly for me I have adjusted the setting a few times but can seem to get it “perfect”(good enough for myself). I’m shooting mainly mountain scapes and islands from afar do you know what would be the ideal adjustments for the 10mm. I feel like eventually I’ll get it but any suggestions and guidance are welcome! hopefully this isn’t to bothersome.

[@ConstantineSPhotography]

Hi, can you be more specific what you mean by "can’t get the 10mm to work correctly"? Do you mean it's not wide enough for you? Or is there other issues?

[@CaboSteveJ]

I need an ultrawide lens for use with subject at 1meter but changing to .7m and 1.5m indoor use so widest aperture. Will manual focus work setting it at 1m and not adjusting focus as subject comes closer or moves away without readjusting cous with this lens?

[@ConstantineSPhotography]

No matter you use a manual lens or an af lens, you'll have to adjust focus distance if your subject stand at different distance away from the camera. Unless you use a super small aperture to create deep depth of field, but that way the image quality won't be good.

Love from india Please suggest me best ultra wide angel lens for professional vlogging

[@ConstantineSPhotography]

For apsc cameras, Sony 10-20 F4, for full frame, Viltrox 20 f2.8 is my recommendation.

[@ConstantineSPhotography]

I have review videos for both, feel free to check them out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIWTiKOOgbSai8U kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmXXg6N7jZaqeKc

[@navikYT]

Thanks for the video. Does adding a filter cause any vignetting at the corners. Have you also tried a polarizer on it and noticed any uneven polarizing effects due to how wide the fov is?

[@ConstantineSPhotography]

I don't have a polarizer to test, but I just tried putting on a uv filter and unfortunately there's very obvious vignetting.

[@ConstantineSPhotography]

Not sure whether it depends on the thickness of the filter or not, the one I tried is the contax 72mmL39(UV)MC.

[@navikYT]

Thanks for testing. That's what I was afraid of, the wider fov will make it hard to use any filter and ND filters are pretty useful for landscapes

[@ConstantineSPhotography]

It's a pity, they designed a filter holder for the lens but missed this.

[@kiliansalomon507]

it appears quite quickly but it's not unusable. i bought a 72-82 step up ring and I'm able to use either my mist or nd filter with pretty much no vignetting. when stacking both there is a bit but with active stabilisation it gets cropped out too.

I love all your videos very informative I want to do real estate videos and I have Sony Ze V10 camera with kit lens, which doesn't cover much areas while shooting properties. This lens which you are talking about will help me for shooting videos... because it's manual lens will it work for shooting videos please help and reply

[@ConstantineSPhotography]

Yes you can still use a manual lens for video shooting, try using a smaller aperture (bigger F number) and use focus peaking to check which area is in focus. I would also recommend turning on active steadyshot for better stabilization

[@satishkarotia1378]

@@ConstantineSPhotography thanks

[@salvomichielli]

Hey! Thanks a ton for the video! It’s majestic :) at 3:24 when you said “due to its manual focus nature, no gyro info would be recorded for Catalyst Browser”. The Gyro info are recorded from the camera Gyro, not from the lens itself in this case. Why then the file wouldn’t include the gyro info?

[@ConstantineSPhotography]

Thanks for supporting! I think it also has something to do with the lens. It doesn't have metal contact, so the camera can't recognize there's a lens on it.

[@salvomichielli]

@@ConstantineSPhotography oh that’s weird! So even if I turn off any steady shot stabilisation in the camera menu, the file won’t contain any gyro metadata? Is it correct?!

[@ConstantineSPhotography]

I suppose so. Maybe unless you put on an adapter with metal contact.

[@salvomichielli]

@@ConstantineSPhotography I can confirm that it’s like how you’re saying. No gyro info on manual focus lenses. I tried that using a Sirui anamorphic APSC lens, which it has a metal connector. So.. this lack of gyro metadata issue doesn’t come from the lack of metal contact.. and it’s pretty annoying.

[@ConstantineSPhotography]

So no gyro data for all manual lenses, interesting. Yeah that's annoying, and if you use Sony's active steadyshot on a manual lens, usually it'll look even more shaky because of the narrower perspective.

just Good.. 7 from 10.. f2 like a trash, very bad.. f2.8-5.6 better.. f8-11 good.. im try on MFT..

[@ConstantineSPhotography]

Really? F2 looks alright to me

[@DuniaKita19]

@@ConstantineSPhotography f2 just for video or milkyway (if needed). Im not use f2 to photography.. Zoom in and really bad for me.. Better f2.8-f11.. I use e-pl9 and omd 5ii

[@DuniaKita19]

@@ConstantineSPhotography in real test yesterday and today i see new problem in this lens.. This lens is a failure.. a huge failure 1. f2 very bad for me.. 2. when use f8-f11, there is an image point around the middle, which is not clear, like watercolor and blurry.. so bad that you can't use f8-f11.. Some photographers also experience the same thing even though they have replaced the item (warranty) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qomllYCsfs6rosk problem at 7:40

To me it’s pretty good for landscape

@@ConstantineSPhotography yes im agree.. Im used too.. Just f2, f8, and f11 im disappointed.. Just only use f4 and f5.6. 😭
