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.
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.
Im a big fan of your channel and have so far bought 3 lenses based on your reviews! Im now torn between this tokina and the new Sigma 10-18 and would love to see how you compare these two. Please make it happen!
Thanks for the review. You and your families are always awesome. 😊About this len, I got mine in an exhibition event in a special sale. Its range is a good match to my 18-105mm f4 G. It is approx. US$155 no tax. That I can not find a reason not to it home.😊
I had purchased a used 11mm f1.8 Sony before. I am not taking video but still, after 2 weeks, I found that it cannot be my walk around lens, it seems taken by the cell phone. While I am using a6000. On the other hand, 11-18mm zoom is more flexible to me. 😅
Hi there, I have seen your tokina 11-18 and the sigma 10-18 and your thoughts on the Tamron 11-20. How does the Tokina compare to the Sigma? I am in the market for a ultrawide zoom and would love to know how those three compare. Thanks
Hello Arthur, nice review! Form other reviews I noticed that in-camera distortion correction works incorrectly with this lens. Did you notice if EXIF data is fine? Just wonder how Sony works with 3rd parties apart of officially supported Tamrons and Sigmas
Great review! Thanks. I just bought a used one and am looking to do some astro photo work. Looking forward to more reviews! Oh, this lens will be used on an R7 with the adapter. I'm looking forward to some cool shots!
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 !
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.
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.
@@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.
Bro my budget is 650-700$ and I want to purchase a camera for both photography and videography. I love sony but can't find good deals. Please suggest me something good.
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.
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.
Neither this lens nor the Tamron have any optical stabilization. For catalyst browse you dont need the lens to have stabilization, it works better without it.
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.
