    Yes, very late. I sold all my aps-c gear because of the lackluster offerings back then. I convinced myself to go entry level full-frame. It's nice to see how things change as I reconsider my options.

    • @KyurekiHana
      @KyurekiHana Před rokem +1

      Crop still provides plenty of resolution on most of the full frame lineup, and would allow you to use APS-C lenses with your current camera.

    • @frankfeng2701
      @frankfeng2701 Před rokem +1

      I agree. UWA is the biggest strength of full frame, e.g. one if my favorite 380g PZ 16-35 f/4 lens would be 11-24 f/2.8 on apsc that just doesn't exist on any apsc platform.

    Sony 11mm you are using the distortion makes a footage look weird. Is there any lens in wide prime, zoom prime and zoom lens which looks straight?

    Great review!
    Been looking at variable wide angle lenses for my a6000 and really like the tamron 11-20 but its the priciest and doesnt have VXD. . The sony 10-18 has OSS but tends to be a little less clear than tamron. This tokina 11-18 has no OSS but is pretty sharp. I wonder if the sony with oss might perform better than tamron or tokina without built in image stabilization?
    Then i would like a lens with weather sealing. They all are great options yet are relatively priced the same. I am also leaning with the rokinon 12mm prime. Still undecided. Im looking to replace the sony 16 2.8 prime. I currently use a tamron 17-70 so perhaps a gap down to the samyang/rokinon 12mm prime wouldnt be bad? I just dont think over the past decade more than 10% of my shots were with the sony 16mm 2.8 with fisheye.

      Interesting opinion. In which regard other than being a bit shorter do you find it to be the best lens?
      Id take the Tamron 11-20 over it any day:
      - same weight
      - 2mm more focal length
      - bit sharper
      - ! weather sealing !

      Once i've tried a croped ultra wide lens (tamron 11-16mm) on a fullframe body and it worked without vignetting only at 16mm. On night shots I could go wider because it as dark at all. But all wide lenses made for crop sensors should be the same on fullframe. The advantage is that you can turn on the crop mode on your FF body. So yes this lens is interesting for FF users.

    • @RobertPeakDesign
      @RobertPeakDesign Před rokem

      @@arquivo225 The Sony 10-18 works great on the FF. The range is not the same as other APC lenses. Effectively, I use the 10-18 at 12.5-18mm, so I loose the 11, but 12 is wide enough for me. The only reason to look at other lenses is to try and get the f2.8. However, I must say, I only shoot video with this lens.

    It is strange that Sony has not been really aggressive with it’s updates. The 10-20 f4 was long overdue and a 16-70 f4 is overdue. The Sony 11 replaced my Sigma 16 (Love the trio). The C sensor cameras are the great travel set up. Now, how about a Sony 7000 with 32 megapixel. I own the Sony a7 iv which is great, but sometimes, I use my wife’s a6600 (same battery) hiking and travel.

      @anonymousl5150 Před rokem

      Sony already has very strong zoom lenses in that range. What they need is to replace their outdated 18-90 mm range primes because currently everyone has to use a Sigma prime for optimal results.

    At this wide of an angle, I don't see why one would want a zoom over a prime lens with better clarity. I'd rather it just be 11mm - would probably be cheaper too.

      The new 10-20 PZ is a lot better, just expensive. If you want the widest image thats still sharp, the Laowa 9mm manual is a good option. If you want AF, the Sony 10-20 PZ would be my 2nd choice.
