The best lens for the Sony ZV-E1 - No gimbal required?

In this video I use the Samyang 12mm f2 for aps-c on the Sony ZV-E1. I demonstrate how the 30% crop works almost perfectly with this lens and how it compares to the Sony 11mm 1.8.

I got to pick this up. I’ve not clogged with the zv-e1 because it’s heavy with my other lenses but picking up the 12mm is a no brainer

[@Davidmccombs]

I got it used on BH photo. It’s a great deal and perfect for vlogging.

[@UncleJessy]

oh man i might have to consider grabbing this lens- I need something smaller & more compact for some upcoming events. I have the Sony F1.8 20mm but dont want to bring that out with me as its $$

[@Davidmccombs]

So true.

[@schoeferfilm]

My favorite lens for my ZVE1 is the Sony 20 mm 1.8 😅

[@Davidmccombs]

Yeah it’s pretty amazing. I should use mine more but I need ND filter.

[@analogFEEL]

Samyang 18 2.8 is also a good choice, and it's full frame

[@Davidmccombs]

Thanks. I considered that lens, but the crop for vlogging was to close when using dynamic active stabilization.

[@Maros_Mari]

Thanks for this video. I got this lens on my fuji xt4 and when I compared the footage to native fuji lenses, it seemed like samyang could not get as much dynamic range - not sure if it is also your own experience with sony - did you notice a bit lower dynamic range - compared to other lenses? thanks for reply.

[@Davidmccombs]

I didn't notice any difference with dynamic range. Just slightly less sharp then some other lenses

[@tennissir1986]

Well done. Does the active stabilization introduce line skipping (pixel binning) ?

[@Davidmccombs]

I don’t think so but I’m not sure

[@djrightonbeat]

Looks soft 🙃

[@georgschultz2582]

how about the 14mm 1.8 g master lense?

[@Davidmccombs]

Nice lens but too big for me. It will crap in to about 20mm which is fine but I’d rather use an 11 or 12mm for apsc. Much smaller.

[@BaldRavenHaired]

Try the viltrox 13 f1 4 , I think that's perfect

[@Davidmccombs]

I haven’t heard of that one. I’ll have to check it out

[@BaldRavenHaired]

@@Davidmccombs it's around 450-470usd , do check it out

[@nightdonutstudio]

That is a good one. But for dynamic ibis or even active ibis to work at the best. You need to use sony native lens. it perform slightly better. I would not use third party lens for this walking type usage.

[@mex5341]

The best is Sony 11 mm

[@frostgodx]

+1.5x additional crop

[@mex5341]

@@frostgodx nope , 1.2-1.3 clear image zoom

[@Davidmccombs]

I was considering it but it had too much distortion.

Makes no Sense. Tiny camera wiry heave ass lenses and overheats.
