@robertpayne8762 2 жыл бұрын
My Sony ZV-E10 shows up tomorrow (with the kit lens). I will be using it for mostly video and lightweight travel. I thought I would start with the 16-50 and just do some videos, walk around and take some photos as "normal" and then come back to look at everything in the computer and see what mm lenses would work for me. Currently, before I do this test, I am thinking about the Samyang 12mm f2, the 30mm f1.4, and the Sigma 56mm f1.4 (the 16 will be heavier than I want to deal with and I think the 12mm will be better for vlogging).

I own the 16 and 56 f/1.4, still I don't want to buy a 30 mm. Sigma also managed to give all tree different filter thread. The 16 use 67 mm, the 56 use 55 and the 30 use 52,. Tamron do a great job using 67 mm on almost all E-mouth lenses.
@TVe200 3 жыл бұрын
@@JakeMasseyFilms The 56 f/1.4 is a nice lens and very small. Since 56 on APS.C is like 85 on full frame It is more like a portrait lens. I use mine very seldom since I own the Sony 16-55 f/2.8 and I very seldom need bigger aperture than f/2.8.

I don’t understand how you stated you don’t want to buy a 30mm because the 30mm uses 52mm what does that mean? Isn’t it just focused as a prime at 30mm and not any other focal length?
