Wow this video is great! Thank you for making this. I’ve been using the a6500 for years and I’m glad more crop lenses are coming. I appreciate the amount of time you spent on making this. Very detailed.

The best part of this video is"not everybody is a blogger". Thank God someone says that! Great video 👏🏻👏🏻

I love my a6700+11mm sony ❤ APSC is still alive. I have a7rv a second body a6700. Great AF, great image quality, great video. An amazing combo for travelers and hikers.

This review has massive amount of useful information. You are generous and sincere with sharing your knowledge. Thank you for your time and effort.

Always great reviews. I'll try to get out and use my wide angle gear for some great shots!

I'm a A6500 user looking for a suitable wide angle lens for a while. Most of the reviews in my country focus on video's performance for vlogger, but as you said not everyone is a vlogger! So your review that provides sample photos really helps me a lot, thanks Mark!

Great stuff! I'm only 6 minutes in, but yours is already the ONLY video at launch that even compared the size of the 15mm and the 20mm G.

So much good information. Thanks Mark

Another good, and useful review. If we’re asking for features on a future APS-C body, I would like to add 1) Bird Eye AF, 2) 15-20 fps, 3) focus bracketing, 4) ~30MP sensor, 5) fast sensor readout to reduce tearing, and maybe 5) more programmable buttons.

… great als always, Mark. 👍🏻

I'm excited with that "Awesome Eight" Mark. I hope Sony will implement it. Thanks, great content as always!

thanks for the review of these very intriguing lenses, if I may add a couple of wishes for a new body is to have the panorama mode, which I use a lot, and possibly a built-in flash, maybe with some innovation which makes it orientable….

Thanks Mark, another excellent review clearly highlighting the potential in APS-C. These new lenses look superb. I started my Sony journey with the a6500 before eventually gravitating to full frame ... a7r3, a9, a7r4 and now down to just one a7iv body. I'm already spoilt for choice owning 12 Sony lenses. I retained my first 16-70mm f4 Zeiss for occasional crop use on full frame and against possibility of a superb new APS-C body. Maybe these new lenses with a FX30 body might make a great video combo, albeit compromised for stills given no shutter. As a long term stills photographer I'm trying to gain cinematographer credentials, so my a7iv was a natural compromise, but I do miss my a9 for sports. Maybe I have to splurge on an a1, but really want the 2D flippy screen on the new a7rv. I like compact so could eventually see me adding a really great APS-C too, not to replace full frame but to augment, when wanting smaller lighter less hefty optics. Probably off topic for APS-C, but I have a love/hate relationship with my GM zoom 16-35mm f2.8 as a for instance and was anyway thinking of switching that out for a PZ 16-35 given I also use G/GM primes in 14, 20, 24 and 35mm all full frame. Smaller lighter is IMO the way to go so kudos to Sony for matching or bettering Canon and Nikon in compact ff glass and nimble bodies. I used to swear by my old Nikons F4 and F5 back in the day, but tech moves onwards and upwards so I went Sony 4 years ago and didn't look back. New mkii glass for GMs 24-70 and 70-200mm proved to be the best and lightest in class demonstrating how Sony is just killing it nowadays. Same with ff primes which I love. Can't wait to see what Sony can engineer to make the world's best APS-C eco system. Heck it's probably the best now anyway, but still has so much more potential.

Great video Mark.

Wow your list of the wishes for the coming apsc body made me so excited Mark! Telling me it's finally coming soon! They were all nice but honestly we do need even more as the competition is leveling up with the newly released Canon apsc cameras. Over 20fps should be a must and also dual card slot on addition to a significantly better ibis. And why don't we have a real contender like Fuji HS2 and HS2s? Apsc is the way to go for sports and wildlife. Sony should not resist anymore. We do need a bunch of longer focal and tele primes and tele zoom too. The 3 years gap between the new apsc lens release was too underwhelming, wish they were releasing 1 every year at least.... Hopefully we get the new apsc bodies this year with a couple of GM level apsc lenses. Apsc needs a pro level body!

Very nice detailed and well presented review. The 11 f1.8 is on my list of primes to get. Sony has done really really well in recent years, especially for enthusiasts who still want to experiment with high quality gear despite non-pro budget. I’ve made the jump into the system recently specifically for the amazing 70-350. What a lens! I’m looking forward to the next apsc body though. I love my cute yet very well specd zv-e10. I will need an evf and similar ergonomics to the full frame bodies (especially a front dial). And coming from Canon, it’s a bit weird not to have a proper touchscreen.

Excelet man, thnx you a lot for this spectacular video ;)

Awesome information

You have the best youtube channel about sony gear and photography! You know your subject very well i really enjoy watching your videos. Great comparison of all the small compact lens for APS-C. Im going to chose between the 15mm f1.4 and the Sigma 10-18mm f2.8 it is a hard choice, do i really need the extra f1.4 ummm? lol I want the lightest lens possible but with a good or decent aperture for travel, landscape and street photography with occasional portrait and im only bringing 1 lens with me im not sure what is the best. It is hard to take portrait with wide angle lens but i have no choice if i only want to bring 1 lens with me.

Mark, Excellent video as usual. No mention if any of the new lenses have image stabilization. I have an A6400 which doesn't have IBS. Thanks

Thanks for your videos and great books. 👍 I have a question regarding max corner sharpness once closed down. Is the 10-20mm sharper than the 15mm ? Some say yes and others, no.

Thank you for the very thorough video with a lot of valuable insights. To me the one area where full frame shines is wide angle lens. In general they tend to have less distortion and vignetting. While this isn’t an issue for portraits and vlogging (the stuff most KZfaq creators are interested in and vocal about), it is quite a big problem for architecture, interior and real estate photography. Correcting distortion and vignetting always result in noisier, softer corners with stretched pixels. Sadly, a lot of the newer ff mirrorless lens are under designed in that way and rely on in body corrections. Canon is a great example of that. When looking at distortion charts, my old 17-40 (often regarded as the worst L lens) is miles ahead in these areas, even if it is not as sharp in general. I would love to switch to apc-s for this type of work, as I don’t do it that often, but the quality just isn’t there and is getting worse.

Great overview. With Sony's full frame interests mainly being in the f1.4 primes rather than the f1.8/f2 primes, I think there's definitely room to introduce some more premium f1.4 aps-c primes. Photos look about the same as full frame f2 and clearly there's a size savings as well in the aps-c lenses. Always impressive how small Sony can make their lenses.

Great info, thanks. Gee, Australia?

So here is a question, as a Sony A7IV user and looking to add an FX30, what's the decision making process between this 10-20 and the FE PZ 16-35? Both F4 and essentially the same focal range on an A7IV?

What would you recommend for an ultra wide mainly for landscape stills? I am considering: sony 10-20, tamron 11-20 and the sony 11. I think that I normally will stop down to f/8 to f/11, however it does indeed seem nice to have the ability to open wide for the low light shots. Also while I focus on stills, I think it would be fun to experiment more with video in the future. I have the Sigma 16 1.4, so not considering the sony 15.

According to you sony 11 is good for low light ? Thanks for Your wonderful review !

Great video. Would like to see this range in Full Frame. Do you have a presentation of this too?

Hi I am using a Sony ZV-E10 camera with the kits lens of 16-50mm and 55-210mm. How can I get super awesome photos or videos and what setting should I put on the camera to get that? What lens from Sony do you recommend to buy to achieve that?

Thanks Mark, great video. My wishlist point would be stabilization that actually works, albeit some of electronic versions don’t do too badly (crop aside).

Been an armature photographer for a long time and seldom seen this amount of information in one video!

These new lenses give me hope for Sony APS-C. I've been tempted by Fuji for a long time but if Sony will release a full set of primes similar to these as well as an affordable body with IBIS (like the Fuji X-S10) I'd be a very happy photographer (no I don't blog and rarely ever record videos).

Does the rear element move during focus or zoom in the Sony E PZ 10-20mm F4 G lens?

Nice

FINALLY sony released a good aps-c lens (wide and fast). Waiting this since 2014.

I have a6500+16 55 mm f 2.8 and 35 mm f 1.8..i love to take the northern lights ,which lenses should i go for ,any advice.?

Now we have light weight APS-C wide-angle lenses, which is great. But light weight APS-C telephoto lens is seriously lacking. I mean telephoto lens at around 300-350g. I hope that Sony will upgrade the 55-210mm soon.

Just need to add IBIS to the APSC wishlist, since a lot don't have it yet

Did anyone make any wide or telephoto lense for sony A mount aps-c cameras?

The Sony 15mm 1.4 G looks great, so now Sony need to make A7000/A9000 Cameras with 5.8/9.5 mega dots EVF´s and it will be very nice if Zeiss modernize the Sonnar 55mm 1.8 with aperture ring and AF/MF button.

Sorry made loving aps c very hard with the a7c. I have the zve 10 and a7c. What I don’t like about aps c is the crop being that the a7c is very similar size, by the way the sony 20mm 1.8 is not big at all even attach to the zve 10

Which these ultra wide angle lenses do you suggest for indoor real estate videography in a low light noisy situation with the Sony ZV-E10 camera ? 👇 1. Sony 11mm f.1/8 2. Samyang 12mm 3. Rokinon 12mm 4. Tamron 11-20mm 5. Viltrox 13mm F1.4

IMO, you missed one big improvement most lower-end mirrorless cameras need: HIGHER EVF RESOLUTION! 2.35m "dots" is unacceptable. What's that, 0.9 mp? I'm surprised this is okay with most users. Move up to 3.69m "dots" at least, please. (And "dots"... stupid way to make it sound impressive.)

Is the quality of the 10-18 very variable? One american KZfaqr and a great fan of Sony APS-C, with 188k followers call it the worst lens Sony have ever released for E-mouth. Others like it a lot.

Funny how SONY dropped these lenses right on Canon's APSC camera debut with impeccable timing, making Canon's lack of desirable native lenses even worse by comparison. People buy into a camera system, if the lenses they want are available... Canon's wide lens roadmap is dismal. It'll be several camera generations before you have a decent selection of wide and bright lenses. Sounds like a complaint? It is.. I really wanted to buy the R5, until I checked the native lens selection...

1:00 I believe Sony launched the Sony E 35mm F1.8 OSS in 2013.

Mark - your weight spec on the 20G is wrong. The 20G weighs 373 grams, not 436 grams as you show.

ITS A PITY sony left the APSC action segment entirely to Canon. Action camera needs large lens, and Sony APSC offering simply don't have the ergonomics for large lens. No matter how you swing it, its TOTALLY OFF balance. I can see SONY easily can take on Canon R7 Unfortunately its too late now.
