Great video. I have to agree with you on the kit lenses and the FE 50mm f1.8. Lens snobs will disparage these, but for me they are perfectly adequate. The 28-70mm came with my a7II and cost CAD $100 more than the body only option. I use it all the time for outdoor landscape photos and it's excellent. It's also a good option on my a6000 which gives me an effective range of 42-105mm. Same with the FE 50 f1.8 which works great on the APS-C body.

There is a firmware update for the 18-55 OSS that adds phase-detect support. There are also Hasselblad branded copies.

I jsut bought my first camera! I got the ZVE-10 w/ the kit lens and the sigma 16mm 1.4 for $800. Cam and kit lens were slightly used and the Sigma was open box. They look brand new to me 😂 I’m a broke fool so this was great for me!

[DanFrullani]

Thanks for the vid! I’m about to buy a Sony camera and this helps a lot. I already have a canon R6, R7 and R8….now adding Sony for new videos for my channels.

[esppics]

my 18-55mm is really good for a kit lens. I don't hesitate in using it. Photos are sharp at most focal lengths.

[rhern]

Thanks for making this! You don’t make me feel dumb for considering affordable lenses!

[gabithemagyar]

The NEX-5 with the 18-55mm OSS lens was my first digital ILC digital. I still have it and, truth be told, as a carry around camera in good light for photos it's still pretty good and is super compact with a small prime or the newer kit lens !!!! I don't use it much any more because I have an a6000, a6300 and a6700 and I prefer a viewfinder but the NEX-5 served me well for quite a few years.

Best vid ive seen on this subject so far! Easy sub!!

[jaymasterflash]

I had the viltrox 20mm 2.8 but returned to Amazon because I decided to get the tamron 11-20mm 2.8 for 400. Did I make the right choice?

[creativeguyty]

what lights are those in the back and what is standing them up

[BrandonDoyleMN]

I’ve never heard of Viltrox before, but do love Sony & Sigma

[woslwilliam]

I still own 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 OSS, it is still in good condition.

[Jeffasaurases]

This is why i like vintage lens, i got a Sigma Mini Wide 28mm F2.8 (pk fit) for £7

[axplade]

The 50mm lens is so soft that i thought i wasn't in focus. Should have had a mark ii to fix that issue

[TheSavageGoose]

WHat about great macro lens for good product shots? That is what I am looking for currently for my Sony ZV-E10. Budget lens specifically.

[stevenraz]

Hello very interesting, Viltrox 20mm full frame on Sony ZVE10, will it work? and 20mm full frame is 14mm for APSC, thanks

[verts_tv]

I have a a6400, how bad is it getting lens that are for full frames? I'll most likely end up upgrading to full frame next year but no idea how far into next year.

[DigiDriftZone]

The Sony 28-60mm is nicer for it's collapsible size, it's insanely small, way smaller than anything for APS-C.

[andystiller]

Thank you that's a great video. I currently use the excellent Tamron 28-200mm and the less good 50mm f1.8. The 50mm struggles to focus in low light and has noisy focusing.
I'm considering changing to the Viltrox 40mm when it comes to England. Do you think it would be an improvement?
