Great video. Did I hear you say that you should not use this lens for food photography? I was hoping to use this lens for landscape and food photography since the focusing distance is good to take pictures of dishes of food. I was told by b&h photo that it would be great to use this lens for that purpose
Hi there, you can use it also for food, however it's not ideal for food photography, since you'll have a lot of background, due to it's wide angle. Daniel
@@the_daniel_life thank you. Understand. When I take food photos, I usually use my Sony phone and able to zoom in to take the entire plate just cutting the side off on purpose
Hi there, Thanks for great video and information you have provided us as usual, I bought this lens (brand new) and when I use it on Sony ZV E10 it keeps focus changing from my face and background (I use ND filter and lowest aperture), it happens even when I use it with zhiyun crane 3 and sit down on a chair in park , is it something wrong with the lens or with my camera settings you think? Thanks for your help in advance 🙏
Hello! I'm glad to hear that you found the video helpful. If you're experiencing focus shifting issues with the Sony ZV-E10 and the lens, there are a few things you can check and adjust to troubleshoot the problem: 1. **Autofocus Settings:** - Make sure that your camera's autofocus settings are configured correctly. Check if you're using continuous autofocus (AF-C) and if there are any specific focus tracking settings that might be affecting the behavior. 2. **Face Detection:** - If you're using face detection autofocus, ensure that it's properly detecting and tracking your face. Sometimes, environmental factors or specific conditions can affect face detection performance. 3. **Manual Focus:** - Consider trying manual focus to see if the issue persists. If the lens maintains focus in manual mode, it could indicate that there might be a challenge for the autofocus system in the specific shooting conditions. 4. **Firmware Updates:** - Check if there are any firmware updates available for both your camera and the lens. Manufacturers often release updates to improve compatibility and address performance issues. 5. **ND Filter Issues:** - While using an ND filter, be aware that extremely dark filters may reduce the amount of available light for the autofocus system, especially in lower light conditions. Try shooting without the ND filter to see if the issue persists. 6. **Check Lens Contacts:** - Ensure that the contacts on both the lens and the camera are clean. Dirty or damaged contacts can sometimes cause communication issues between the lens and the camera. 7. **Lens Calibration:** - Some lenses allow for autofocus micro-adjustments. Check your camera menu to see if there's an option for autofocus calibration. This might help if there's a slight misalignment. 8. **Environment and Lighting:** - Consider whether the shooting environment or lighting conditions are affecting the autofocus performance. Low light, complex backgrounds, or high-contrast scenes can sometimes challenge autofocus systems. 9. **Reset Camera Settings:** - If you've made extensive customizations to your camera settings, try resetting the camera to its default settings and see if the issue persists. If, after checking these aspects, the problem persists, it's advisable to contact Sony customer support or the retailer from which you purchased the lens. They may be able to provide further assistance or advice based on the specific combination of your camera and lens.
What I was looking for! Thank you for that! 🔥
Great that you got one now
Can we use nd filters for this lens and if so, do you think a 67mm step down to 55mm nd will be okay?
of course, you can use ND filters. Just get the one with the correct size. Daniel
What lens would you use for food photography and filming I shoot at restaurants
35mm is a good choice. Daniel
@@the_daniel_lifethank you 🤙🏽
What picture profile/creative style settings do you use on the zv-e10?
Hi, neutral, I shot in RAW, edited in Adobe Lightroom. Daniel

Nice Video my friend, Which is the best for Low light Real Estate video shoots Sony 11mm f1.8 or Viltrox 13mm f1.4 with Sony ZV-E10?
Hey, I would go for the Sony lens.
I used once a Viltrox on my Canon EOS R. Canon released a firmware-update, since then I can't use the lens anymore. Daniel

Is this lens recommended for full frame cameras
You may use it, but you can only use a small portion of the 11mm. Since it will crop.
Daniel
which size of the VNDfilter for sony 11mm lens will be perfect? bc there will be too much vignetting if I use just same size with the sony 11mm lens!
Hi, I use a NiSi filter.
1:03 So there's no way to get the full potential of the lens while recording video?
well, you have 4K in full resolution, but not as a 4:3 format.
Daniel
What light are you using @ 4:44?
That a one from ULANZI
Stark🎉
Danke dir.
Das deutsche Video folgt am Sonntag.
Liebe Grüße,
Daniel
