Great job on the video Mark! Thanks for making it.

I still love the 1.4 on the Sigmas, but the price and quality of all these Yongnuos are crazy!

Oh my god, this video touch my heart.... I am considering to get this Yongnuo lens... Thank you so much for making this video, Riki from Taiwan

excellent video. Thanks for sharing!

I've been using the Sigma 16 with the M50 Mark II (Canon) for the past 3 years and absolutely love the overall quality for videos, as I use this combo for my KZfaq videos. Superb!

wow, I really need this video thanks for the comparison!

I love your videos. I'm so glad I found your channel. Thanks for all that you do! So funny and yet so informative! I appreciate all your hard work.

Best reviews on the tube for videos.. thanks

Your sound outside is sooo good! I've got the same mic and have been worried if using it just the way you did will affect the sound but it's perfect!

Man, the fact that the Yongnuo is THAT lightweight with that many features is an insta-win for me. If I didn't already have the Sigma 16mm, I would've probably picked it up, lol

Good video. Thanks.

I have been watching your videos for some time now and you helped me decide the ZV-E10 and Sigma 16mm. Great content, keep it up!

Great video as always! been seeing this lens for my ZV E10 but also looking at the YONGNUO YN11MM F1.8S at $298 they have as my new main angle lens, can't decide yet, already have the sigma 16mm for main angle and b-roll & 30mm for close up b-roll but for side angle its kind of to close for my liking. also was wondering if you plan on going over your new settings for the ZV E10? i know in the past you used HLG3 but seen you mention S-log & now Cine2 in this video so was interested in the new settings (i have the Paul Leeming LUT's as well), thank you!

Very nice comparison

Thank you Mark, how about you do a review of the new Sirui lenses for APS-C cameras?

I have the Sigma 16mm f1.4 on a Canon EF-M mount and while it produces some great images it's too large and heavy for my arthritic wrists' liking. Thanks Mark for highlighting the Yongnuo as an alternative for my ZV-E10.

Good, detail & value video, 1 like for him guys 👍

I just picked up the Yongnuo 11mm and so far it's working well. I have a couple of FX30s and a ZV-E10, so I've been buying some APSC glass to try out. I also got the TT Artisans 56mm and I'm really impressed with how cheap decent glass is for the E-mount system!

Wow, I actually prefer the image of the Yongnuo in the studio. Amazing. I purchased the Sigma after your initial review and I’m not disappointed. However, I like the size and features of the Yongnuo. Good review Mark. Thank you. Dave from down-under 🇦🇺

Woh! I haven’t shot Cine-2 in like 4-5 years. Blast from the past. Interesting choice man. That was my go to on the older Sony bodies (a7 iii, a99ii, a6600, etc) - and with the LeemingLUT no less. Classic.

Excellent review, Mark! I like my Sony 15mm f1.4 G lens paired with my Sony FX30. 😊

Fantastic review sir! I bought this Yongnuo 16mm two months ago and for the price it’s surprisingly good. I use this lens for most of my talking head indoor shots. I use this on my sony zv e10. No complaints so far. 😃

Want to see the 3-way review with these 2 and the Sirui 16mm 1.2 Sniper when it’s released

This video made me bite the bullet on the YN16, so thank you for that. I'd considered the Sigma for a year or so, but the YN's smaller size and price tag (£144!) was hard to ignore any longer, especially after your take. Suffice to say, HUGE improvement on the kit lens in every way. I've only started on my first video with it, but the results are spectacular. Cheers!

Hey do you have any video about the viltrox 13mm f1.4? I'd love a comparison against the sigma 16mm

Yess finally it is nice to see that you reviewed this lens Mark! I think for the price it is one of the best lenses I have ever purchased.

I have the sigma 16 with my A6300, it's the only lens that stays on all the time, just a gorgeous lens imo.

For me the king is the 15mm 1.4 Sony G, but for the price sigma and yongnuo are good options for tight budgets

I'm behind the times for real! I recently (and finally) picked up the Sigma 16mm for my Canon EF-M cameras: M50II & M6II. lol... Does Yongnuo have this lens for available for other mounts (Nikon/Fuji/Panasonic)?

Nice review, Mark! Recently purchased the sigma 18-50 for my zve10 because of you😂 Now, i need to find gimbal for this combo.. any suggestion? Also, im planning on getting the a6700 in the future

Yongnuo should offer this 16mm and their 11mm f1.8 lens in m4/3 mount. I would definitely buy both.

I don't know if you've tried this or thought about it but I've found that putting that small rig cage on the zv e10 balances it out a little more to make it balance better on those small gimbals to let it handle bigger lenses

Wow thanks for showing and reviewing this one. $150 in China, a total no brainer to replace my Viltrox 13mm 1.4 with fluttering AF. And after watching your videos for more than 15 seconds, I remember that you're handsome 🤣 I had the Sigma on m43, nice but heavy ! Edit: actually the Yongnuo AF seems a little more confident than the Sigma, and contrast looks a little better on the YN in your studio side-by-sides. Shame about the loca but I guess just don't shoot high contrast😁

Can you test new sirui lineup at 1.2 for apsc?

I love my Sigma 16mm lens but this does look rather good

Oh Sigma should make 2nd generation lenses for the 16 and 30mm F1.4! Both smaller and sharper, and I'd go at least for the 30mm.

i love how yongnuo is giving sigma a run for its money

Still i'm in love with the Whole APC lineup from Sigma, got 3 of them and they just that good i not going to change it 😂

Mark, have a ZV-10 with a kit lens and am wanting to upgrade to a 16mm fixed lens. My main use will be shooting dance videos in an indoor studio. The light in the studio is not as bright as I would like thus why I liked the sigma 1.4. My first question is will I be able to actually use the 1.4 setting and raise the shudder speed to avoid blurred videos? I am not sure what shudder speed will be optimum forclear dance motion but I am concerned that using the sigma at 1.4 will not allow me to raise shudder speed high enough to avoid blurred video. If you think that the lower lighting in the studio will not allow me to use the F1.4 setting (without blur) then I should probably buy the Yongnuo at 1.8. Your thoughts please!

Hola Mark! Gracias por tus videos... here in Spain price is YN16MM F1.8S: 377 euros and Sigma 361 euros.

Like the way he reviews most ❤yongnuo 16 1.8 will a pair of sony zve10 instead of sigma 16 1.4 ( big & heavy )

I know the lens isn't in the same league, but the Sony 16mm 2.8 Pancake is my favorite 16mm lens. The autofocus is obviously older and probably slower than the other two, but it's just amazing how it merges into an unbeatable, compact combination on the ZV-E10 that makes photography extremely fun for me.

Mark, when we do vlogging on ZV-E10 using these lenses, should we turn on image stabilization in the camera and then use Catalyst Browse? Or can we skip Sony's internal image stabilization and use Catalyst Browse on its own? Thanks!

Pleaseee Mark, bring the 11mm 1.8 Yongnuo to the channel, that’s such a nice sharp fast lens, and it’s good to compare with Sony version

Word to Dougie.

The sigma has weather sealing👍🏼. I’m definitely sticking with my sigma 16mm but I’ll definitely recommend the yungnuo for anyone who’s looking for a 16mm lens!

You missed some camera reviews. I am waiting for your valuable review of the Lumix G9ii and GH7.

best content creator

A bit off topic: would love to see a “beginner photographer series.” I think you’d teach in a very digestible way. And if I missed it, pls point me in the right direction!

I bought this lens on sale for just $125. This is a gem

These lenses Yongnuo have been coming out with aren't helping my gear acquisition syndrome. Very curious to see if they expand their range to other focal lengths next or if they start working on other mounts. Their value and performance on Z mount or RF mount (if Canon fully opens the flood gates) would make even more cameras viable for more users too. I will say my Sigma 16mm has been my everyday lens on my ZV-E10 and I couldn't image retiring it at any point since it just does almost everything for me (sans vlogging but I have my Tokina 11-18 2.8 for that).

Just seen this on the 11m lens on yongnuo site Suit for Sony FX30，ZV-E10 II，ZV-E10，a6700，a6600，a6500，a6400，what do they know about a zv-e10 II

in Russian marketplaces the Chinese sell Yongnuo 16 mm for $140-180, I ordered it for $140 and am waiting for it to arrive from China, thanks for the video

Just want to share my experience using yongnuo brand. I have 4 yongnuo lenses in total when i was still shooting dslr (nikon specifically) after some years of usage, 3 of them wont work anymore . AF not functioning but can be detected by camera. I didnt dropped or abused them, took care of them very well. Now im shooting mirorless (sony) and so afraid to try out 3rd party lenses exept from sigmas and tamrons. I have a bunch of sigma and tamrons some were abused and still no issues. I dont know now if yongnuo quality can last for more years to come. Maybe they improved.

Good Comparison Mark...is it me or is the Yongnuo more like 15mm? Seems a hint wider.

Great video. Small correction. The Sigma 16mm is indeed weather sealed :-) 04:11

i am an expat in china, and it costs half the price here (YN16MM). thanks for the review, adding it to the cart.

There are so many alternatives out there. The Sigma is a little bulky. I might take a second look at these other brands. I

This is why i love apsc so many damn options!

Being in my in situation with a terminal illness, I don't want to break the bank and the Yongnuo will work on my M2S gimbal, I'm saying the Yongnuo for me. I've been looking for a vlogging lens and believe I found it. Unless you know of a 10,11,12mm for our ZV E-10's in that price range? Maybe that could be a video for you? What is the best budget lens for vlogging with the M2S gimbal with the ZV E10? Signed Austin Crawford MSA.

You gonna grab that new Sirui 16mm f1.2 autofocus? 👀indiegogo backer price under $350 USD

I still prefer the Sigma. Have you any news on the ZV-E 10 mark 2?

I hope they make 23mm version

Now they just need to come out with a 23mm

Have you changed the sound at your studio?!

The sigma 16 was the first lens I got for Sony when I got my first Sony camera the great zve10

yognou 11 mm f1/8 is my go to lens

Somebody stop this man. He’s too handsome

Just realized they also have 11mm for APS-C :o

Don't kill me, but I use the kit lens a lot, and only take out the Sigma lens, if I want it to look "professional", because oh boy, does the good ol' Sigma look sharp and good

Mark I am trying to save money man sheesh.

I never liked the size of the Sigma, and never tried it. The Yongnuo is the right size and price.

You're totally right to call out the ZV-E10. That combo with the Sigma 16 has always treated me well. The colors are amazing, AF on point, image quality fantastic.

While Yongnuo has some advantages for vlogging, it's not as sharp for other uses, and astrophotography in particular demands every bit of light, so 2/3 of a stop makes the difference. I'm afraid its price is too close to Sigma's at the moment - for something like $250 it'd be a killer. Hehe, 16mm at that distance in studio makes your herculean hands bigger than your head!

Engagement!

I have been waiting on your review about Lumix S9

On thing or switch I'd like to see on every lens is a AF/MF switch. It could be the only one, but that is one that will make life a little easier. I do like that the Yongnuo lens has the focal length clearly printed on the barrel like Sony's 24/40/50 trio of compact FF lenses. No more guessing. Where is the ZV-E10 mk. 2?????? Not listening to rumors anymore.

Right now you can get the Sigma used for the price of the Youngnuo, so the Youngnuo to me is not a practical option. I think 6 months down the road when the Youngnuo becomes available below 200(150 ish) used that it is a good value. Used market is real option when your purchasing lenses in the hundreds of dollars.

Small lenses should be the norm on APS-C. The Sigma 16mm is gigantic in comparison, as popular as it is. It's design is extremely outdated in 2024.

The sigma is clearer, faster and sharper from what i see. Keep the sigma lol

👀👀👀👀👀👀

Lenses like this really make me regret selling the zv-e10 and going a7c 😭

I got the 45.2mm in the mail, it looked faker, but to be honest, you never have that much lighting. You try the 16-40mm on a pack Crayola, looks like a pocket camera because there's nowhere you use Crayola where the papers gonna blow away.

For me Sigma still takes a Cup🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

The Sigma is noticeably sharper.

The sigma is no longer the sigma

I've watched your channel for 16 seconds

Are you shitting me, I bought sigma two weeks ago 😂

Stick with the Sigma 16mm. Overall, better lens. You get what you pay for.....
