Is the Sony 16-55mm F2.8 is the perfect APSC lens? 

Totally agree. 100% worth the premium. My images coming out of this lens compared to my sigma is consistently better.

Thanks so much man :)

Thank you so much!

That setup you have is perfect! I have the sigma 18-50 as well. Amazing lens. The reason why I prefer the Sony lens is exactly what you said. Plus I self vlog a lot and the 18mm is way too cropped in. I also love the physical feel of the Sony lens. It fits perfectly on the FX30 🥹. Price like you said is gross though 🤣

Thank you. I'm a huge fan of crash zooms haha. This lens is perfect for it.

I appreciate you Tim :) Thanks for noticing all the details. Not many people do. I’m curious about the same things you are. I wish I would have brought this lens with me to Japan actually :( not that I regret the lens I brought but this 16-55 would have been great to have at night.

Thank you so much man. I think this is the best APSC lens for the Sony system. I know that’s a bold statement but everything from the image quality to the very diverse focal distance to the over all build is perfect. It feels perfect on the FX30

Thanks man. I think you made the right choice though. The value to quality ratio is much better on the Tamron. Sony is a little overpriced but I find the quality of their lenses are a notch above third party lenses. Everything from build quality to performance is one touch above but at a cost.

@@noisackda2564 yea maybe a G lens can survive a 3ft fall on carpet lol

They just grab grab grab don’t they? 🤣🤣🤣 Yeah the sigma at its widest 18mm is a deal breaker for me 🥲 need a bit more for vlogging

Thank you! I quite like this vlog actually. I think I have a pretty good formula of life vlog plus camera gear review but I get really bored really quickly. I can't do the same thing over and over for too long. To answer your question about the FX30 vs ZV-E10's stability. I think they both have the same level of stability but because the sensor on the ZV-E10 is so old it can't handle rolling shutter thus giving that camera a visibly worse perceived stability. With the ZV-E10 I always have to run everything through catalyst but for the FX-30, I just shoot with active and I feel that it's good enough. Still shaky but I sort of like a bit of shake.

@@noisackda2564 Thanks for the clarification, I had a feeling there had to be something improved on the FX30 and you reminded me of how bad the rolling shutter is on the ZV-E10 :P I literally bought a gimbal just to avoid having to use catalyst! Maybe I'll just have to sell all my APS-C equipment eventually and dive into Sony ZV-E1 (or ZV-E2 if that comes out...I still have a way to go to gain knowledge on the mirrorless camera side) For now, I'm really happy with the Pocket 3 and the Action 4 combo. For me, since I don't have the camera knowledge (yet)...I should focus on the "Content"

@@TravelingAhn The pocket 3 is pretty much perfect for vloggers. I thought long and hard about it but there's something about the artifacting in low light that I feel isn't quite there yet. Plus I love color correcting so much and it still looks like the log files on dedicated cameras are still a cut above in that regard. It's getting damn close though. Maybe two years away. Then I can ditch my camera gear and roll with a small set up like a pocket 5 or something like that :P I can only dream haha.

@@noisackda2564 Well, I'll be purchasing the Pocket 5 too :P

You are welcome! Thanks for the kindness :)

I haven't, but I don' think it would out perform this lens because it's an F4 lens. Not great in low light.

Hey thanks for watching and commenting! I've owned a couple of Tamron lenses as well and have noticed that stability was an issue. I am using active stabe. It pretty much is the default. In regards to framerate. I shoot at 24p normally. When I shoot slo mo I'll use S&Q mode at 60fps.

@@noisackda2564 awesome, thanks! I set up my memory slots as M1-24p / M2-60p / M3-120p, might test out the s&q to see what difference is 🍻

@@justlivication Nice! S&Q is just simply higher frame rate but it previews in slow motion on the screen. I'll use that mode for all alow motion shots and 24p for vlogging essentially.

@@justlivicationso did buy the lens 16-55? how is it? i have the same camera and now saving to buy the 16-55 because tamron and sigma have lot of cons and not wide enough

I haven't - I'm still rounding out my current setup, so it's 2-3 lenses down the list. @@Slayseal

Hell yeah! Canada represent! I would return the Tamron haha. I had two tamrons in the past and they were both pretty bad with stability. This Sony lens is probably the best lens you can get IMO. Every time I use it it never misses. It's really good! Premium price but worth it.

@@noisackda2564 done and done. Sony 16-55 will arrive Monday. So excited!!

@@SlammedCanada Nice! Let's go!!! Sony lens on Sony body is the way to go if you have the budget. Have fun with it.

Yes it would be great for this. As with any product shot photography, just make sure you are properly lit but yes this lens is the do everything lens :) if you want something cheaper that’s similar I would go with the Sigma 18-50mm though.

@@noisackda2564 thanks for lookin out 🤙🏽🔥

I'm not sensitive at all to breathing compensation. The way I used it is in it's most authentic way. I don't cut and select clips I feel look good. If you feel the footage looks good in this video then I think you will be totally fine :)

@@noisackda2564 I bought it! so far so good. Got no complaints, well aside from the weight but that's a me and my weak arms' problem. LOL

Very small vignetting. You would need to do a small digital zoom. Maybe 5% I think. I can test it out later. 16mm is too wide so it might crop in naturally.

Thank you! This is SLOG3 with a phantom lut applied :)

@@noisackda2564FX30 or 6600 ?

@@kismat_rana FX30 all the way unless you love taking pictures. Even then, FX30 haha!

It should. 16mm is wide but not too wide with active we should punch right past the vignetting. If not then a 5% zoom would get rid of it I think.

Yes I did 🤣 My channel wasn’t supposed to be a serious channel. I was using it as a way to upload a video to show my brother in law. I just continued to post and now it has become a thing so I thought I would ditch the weird name I initially gave it. I kept it in the logo though 🤣
