Yo Micah, huge congrats on getting monetized!!! I love the mentality around this. Something like the 10-18mm can fit your wide angle needs until you decide to upgrade (or not) in the future. There's always gear rentals if you need access to nicer glass! My A7IV shoots aps-c crop in 4k60p anyways, so I've been seriously considering getting APS-C crop lenses for specific applications where I know I'll want to use 4k60p. For web content IMO, the image quality still looks great, so as long as we're aware of the cons of the setup, I'd say why not?!

Congratulations on reaching monetization! This is my first time checking out your video, and I’m genuinely pleased I did. Your authenticity really stands out, and I enjoyed the content. You’ve gained a new subscriber!

Fantastic video! You’re the first person I’ve seen feature the 10-18 apsc on the full frame and explain its benefits and flaws for videography. Have been shooting with this lens on my a6500 for years now and eagerly waiting for my ZV E1 to arrive next week and happy to see I can still get away with using this lens when needing to go ultra wide.

This is a great hack. I ended up going with Sony 12-24 G F4. I just got it today. I see the inability to use filters mentioned as a drawback, but I can't imagine a situation where I'd want to use an ND with this lens. In wide shots I don't need or want shallow depth of field, so I'll just close down the iris in bright situations.

they're actually called ultrawide!

Rented this lens for a gig and ended up falling in love with it. Watched your video then went on eBay and got one for $450! ($400 + tax/shipping) You weren’t lying when you said you can find them for that cheap! haha excited to get it and start shooting! Great video my man 🤘🏾

Finally a great video about the 10-18mm thanks mate! Gonna order one straight away!

you can get rid of some of the vignetting by removing the rear baffle, like 3 screws or something

The best focal length for my copy is around 13mm. I have been using it with the original a7 since 2015. Nowadays, I have switched to a Laowa 9mm f/5.6.

love your microphone quality bro!

I’m confused a little bit. Truly curious. You said you didn’t want to use APSC cuz of no 4K but you’ve got an APSC lens? Aside from price what’s the benefit of this over Tamrons 11-20mm?

this is ridiculously helpful right now. just ordered from eBay and if I love it then you'll instantly have made a huge fan of me! 😃

Wow another amazing video! I love you

Yes! I bought it for $500 and I love it!

I haven't used this lens recently but if I remember correctly, setting the a7S III to APS-C mode doesn't downgrade the video resolution. After all, APS-C cameras are also capable of shooting in UHD

Great video Micah! How sharp are photos in the corners in that 13-16mm?

i don't see a lot of people talking about latosa 10-18 full frame, I know it is f4 or lower and fully manual but no vignetting and distortions it works absolutely perfect

anyways, love your online presence!!😍😍

I think the 16-35 f/4 is a much better option. I know it's a little more expensive (I've seen it as low as $500), but it's pretty close to a no-compromise full frame lens. It addresses every issue you mentioned here. That was my go-to lens when I shot real estate.

Hey man ! Love this content by far the best "10-18mm full frame Apsc lens" review ! By the way I gotta ask, if u are vlogging while walking with this lens, will the shake caused by walking gonna make the vignette show up at the corners from time to time ? Or we just have to zoom in close enough and this won't happen

Great content man!

Nice info about how it actually looks on FF camera! I was in the similar position when I was trying to find an ultra-wide lens for a7r2. Unfortunately just like you said, most of the options are for APS-C, and FF options are just insanely expensive. The manual primes sounds good but just unusable for a daily driver. Finally I jumped the wagon on Tamron 17-28, which is very great. F2.8 and comparable optics performance with GM (at least from some of the review) didn't make it cheap, but at least makes it justifiable. IF I were to know that this one works kind of OK on Full Frame, I'd probably just go with it. It's cheap like a toy, with the new 10-20 it could only become cheaper and cheaper in the used market. An interesting thing is a7r2 is 42MP, the 4k actually works best when in the Crop/Super35/APS-C mode, the image quality is just insane. Clean like being washed by water (in a good way). BUT you lose the wide end, 17 on tamron becomes 24 again, which is "normal" but not "wide", 24 on things like 24-70 becomes 35, which is NARROW in most of the circumstance. For me the ultra-wide perspective definitely worth more than the marginal IQ improvement, so I ended up with 4k full-frame mode almost all time. I'm for most of the time a still shooter, so the tamron 17-28 makes sense to me. But later I think you probably should upgrade to something like an 61MP a7r4, r5, or the now cheaper 42MP r3, if the video specs meets the minimum of your demand. I can probably guess why you got the a7s at first place, because it's at all a full frame, and you did a lot of video. People said this is to be for the video and performs best in low light. All the checkboxes are ticked. And most importantly, the price for all these seems acceptable. Probably you may also thought it's "easier" to get "wider" at Full Frame, because 24 is finally a 24 not a 35, so theoretically it's easier to get a wide angle on a FF. There's just only one problem: you haven't checked the FF wide lens price yet. However just like you said yourself, you do a lot of real estate videos professionally, which doesn't involve a lot of critical lighting conditions -- nothing a tad increase of ISO could not fix, and no one's pixel peaking for that. After all most real estate does not involve a dungen. It has lights all over the place and when you want to showcase for it, you want to turn all those lights on. So in my view you just threw the biggest advantage of the a7s, in exchange for an unusable 1080P crop mode, which you might actually need. Full frame is not for you, at least professionally. So if I were you I'd either up my game to A7R to take full advantage of the FULL FRAME sensor size by having the ridiculously HIGH RESOLUTIONS -- which opens a whole new world for landscape and everything. Especially if you have a nice screen like the 5k iMac, you just can't go back. The is the correct way to take full advantage of your other expensive GM lens. The optics resolution can only go as sharp as the sensor resolution goes. Plus now you have a very usable 4k crop/super35 mode. The image is down sampled from 8k or 6k, it can just be as good as the a7s. Or I'll just back my game to something like a ZV-E10, which I'd bet it ticks every box you need when you do your profesional real estate shooting. Just don't forget to put it on a huge gimbal to look "pro" to your clients!

I’d love to see you do this same video with the Sony 11mm F1.8 in the future. Subbed!

Perfect for outdoor vlogging. My 17-28mm Tamron is not wide enough

İ like the vignette, creatively usable!

Man, thanks for this work! Il find the best price wide option for ff through the many years. Respect🤟

Hey Micah, I love your videos...great work buddy! I was wondering where you're getting your ambient music from? Super dramatic!

Hey, I have KZfaq premium and watch probably 40+ hrs / week while at work in background and I have to say; your production on this video with added effects .. 👌 I have this for my A7iii and just wanted to see some follow up input for what I'll be attempting in the future and stumbled on your video and had to drop this compliment.

This review might change my life. Thank you for this.

Great review man. You can check out the viltrox 16mm 1.8 . This lens is amazing for its price. And its FF

great stuff!

Hey brotha, great video! Was curious what’s your settings for vlogging? As someone who loves to vlog, I’m curious how would you have your settings for A7iii?

thanks for the vid! what about the sony 10-20 g master.. pretty amazing price too!

I have been looking at the new sigma 10-18 for using on my fullframe camera

Unfortunately, everywhere I look the 10-18mm is not available. Will look for them on the secondary market.

Another option is getting a Sony E to Canon EF adapter and then buying a used 11-24mm F4 lens. Since it's designed for Full Frame completely you can go to 11mm wide without vignetting. There's also now a 10mm F2.8 lens if you need even wider than that.

Amazing video my friend! Do you recomend for A7III? Salute from Argentina.

a 10-18mm f/4 behaves like 15-27 f/5.6 on full frame. I'd prefer to go with the native full frame 16-35mm f/4 then which is pretty close in price, at least where I live

pretty sure if u just use clear image zoom instead of apsc mode u dont lose any video quality. Also u could just crop in in post too

thanks bro! i see distortion to 18mm. this userful info!

Hi there ,absolutely loved it, Would really appreciate if u can answer my one question! Will it have any problems shooting in slog-3 in a7s3? Jus about to buy so thought of clearing this out

so beauty 😮

Wow, this sounds like making sense to me, thank you!

nice vid thanks! Subbed.

Thanks for the review! I'm looking to get this lens, I also have the A7siii which is a low-light beast. Would you say the F4 is not an issue when shooting in S-log 3 (12,800 iso) or even S-Cinetone (2000 iso)?

Thanx! That's Super cool! and super lens it seems!

hi ! great video i have a question : what is the best also budget camera that would go well with this lens ?

Great video man, subscribed, am thinking about this lens for underwater photos and video and might be the best based on ya info.

Wow thank you for this video…. Always wanted the wide lens but yeah not affordable….. so this is sick!

Hey I have the same setup but I noticed a lot of grain at 12,800 with the 10 18 mm doing real estate videos what's your recommending settings for shooting real estate video

Omeizin' video! Thank You Bro 👍

Hello Thank you for this information. Does it affect video quality while using aps-c lenses on full frame cameras???? Can you kale detail video on it sir

I've heard what you said about the 10-18 before from some reviewers and found the same in my case. I decided to check out which of my other apsc lenses still worked on the full frame body and it turns out that the pancake 20mm lens is pretty similar. the coverage is juuuust a smidge under full frame size. it looses the ibis but gains a stop in the aperture while also being very compact. its a little tight for self-vloging but a nice focal length for filming friends during hikes and such I might try and find a copy of the 16 mm pancake

3:24 the ambient music in the background..

why not go with the irix 11mm f4?

I have an a7iii and I zoomed out all the way, but don’t see the vignetting… I don’t understand why??? 😭

Thanks man 😊

Hii nice vdo , and now the 11mm 1.8 released should i buy 10 18 mm or 11mm lens for my a7m4 , my use is for real estate and some vlogs

The vignetting has a vibe though.

I've used the 10-18mm on APS-C cameras a lot and i haven't considered using it on my full frame bodies. I'll check it out. I wouldn't call it "super sharp", it's one of the worst lenses I've owned for sharpness, but it's fine on video (4k)

Can Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD also be used the same way ? What about Sony's new 10-20 f4 power zoom ? Your video just opened a lot new possibilities !!

peter parker got the rub and tug music going on in the background

Hey man. Just letting you know that the background music is too loud. Keep up the good work. ;)

i m wondering is the newer 10-20 power zoom better than this? its a bit more expensive but anyone used it?

A lot of uses for this lens

The rokinon 14mm full frame lens is a way better option … it’s on Amazon used for 138$ right now it’s not autofocus but it’s a ultra wide doesn’t need to be but another downside is no filters … but I made a filter out of window tinting paper for a nd

Or could just buy a laowa 10-18mm for full frame Sony. I use that on my Sony A7R3 . It’s a 100 percent manual lens but the sharpness and quality is excellent. Going for like $500 now or less

Thanks!

I got tired carrying full frame cameras and lenses around. Switched to a Sony A6700. small bag. 11mm lives there...

Do u use it for a crop mode?

On a7r4 60mp photos, will the sharpness be same using 12-24 f4 fe lens and this lens ? Please make a comparison video if possible.

Hi. I am new in photography and videography. Can I use that lens for Sony zv-e10? If not, can you recommend a budget friendly lens for real estate photography? Thank you

I bet this would be a dope lens on the a7siii plus RS3 Mini

Sick video, easy to resonate with you and your channel. Not many creators do that nowadays, I feel like they are very "generic" Supporting from Greece! -Alexander S.

Can i see somewhere your real estate video made with this?

A good option is the laowa 9mm lens with the Sony A74.

Why would you put full frame in the title if its an APSC lens......

nice video. where'd you find the background audio?

As budget goes you can probably pick up a Sigma 10-20mm for sub 100$ if you realy need a zoom. Otherwise just grabb a MF or AF 14mm f/2.8 Samyang. Funny thing, there actualy IS a full frame 10-18mm at a similar price. The Laowa 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 FE

Good nacho

Samyang 18 mm is great lens for it's value

Very nice.

Brother it is not cheap in malaysia. Its subjective which country you buy

Also rokinon has a 14mm

hey! what’s your mic setup? looks very portable

Does this have an image istabalization? Or Auto Focus?

How do u get so much dynamic range when shooting against the sun

I'm going through the same problems looking for a wide lens for my a7iii as everything is so expensive! One question, if I use this lens on my a7iii with the APS C mode ON, how would that convert in terms of focal lenght? will it become a 12mm? Or should i just turn the apsc mode OFF and zoom to 12mm like u did here?

Try viltrox 16 1.8

The background music is kinda high

Megawide

I wish canon had one of these guys

Last year when I bought this lens， it costed over $480. Ridiculous how fast price has dropped on this.

So, you are telling me these companies could be making wide angle lens for full frame for such cheap price…..but they don’t.

💯🔥🔥🔥

the sigma 10-18 would be better if buying new

damn everything seems so good until the MFD

get r hands on sigma 10-18 f2.8 dc dn

The back ground music is way to loud

Poor move😢
