Sony 15mm f1.4 vs Sigma 16mm f1.4 vs Viltrox 13mm f1.4 with the ZV-E10

Today I compare three of the best lenses available for the Sony APS-C system: The Sony 15mm f1.4, the Sigma 16mm f1.4 and the Viltrox 13mm f1.4.

You really can't go wrong with either of these lenses, but hopefully this video will help you decide which one is best for you.

Great video! I love my Sigma 16mm f1.4, but the wide angle of the Viltrox is enticing. The Sony seems great, but since I recently bought the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8, I can't justify the price right now.

I do have an idea for you though, coming from you saying you don't time to talk to us individually. I had the same issue, so here's how I addressed it.


I run a channel that focuses on helping those new to PCs navigate custom and prebuilt system integrators. Very early on, I had far to many DMs asking for one on one help, so I changed the theme of my Twitch streams. I now help people on an individual basis through a queue. They give me their budget, what they intend to use it for, etc. and I find a system that seems right for them. It led to an additional revenue stream for the channel and I just made partner on Twitch (though I'd suggest you do something like this on YouTube instead). I know you're a very busy guy, especially since you upload more often than I do, but it could be a great way to interact with your viewer base and also gauge interest in topics for future content. I understand streaming isn't for everyone though, so I understand if the concept isn't too appealing. As a fellow comedian though (former in my case), it really can be a ton of fun for guys like us. What do you think?

I love your videos! Very informative and helpful and best of all you have a great sense of humor.

Mark, I just want to say how much I appreciate you. Not just your wisdom and expertise, but your humor and down-to-earthness (is that a word)? I'm happy to be one of your subscribers!

Very usefull video. Helped me a lot! Thank you

Thanks for uploading- great review. Have just ordered a Viltrox

[TexpatOTG]

I decided to get the Viltrox 13mm. I like my 23mm so much, so Viltrox definitely speaks to me. I have the Samyang 12mm af, and have decided to keep it too. I got it really cheap and no reason to let it go. Good comparison -- sure helps make buying decisions. Cheers ...

[dweyn_wade]

Gladly I found your channel, before I am just watching your videos with camera comparison. Now that I have my zv-e10 for 6 months, I am now looking for a good lens. And here I am again.. 😁

Sigma f/1.4 16mm, Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner. Great review and comparison. But, for me, I think the Sigma 16mm and I have a thing going on. While the Sigma 16mm doesn't have an aperture ring, I actually prefer using the dial on my A7iv to adjust the aperture. So, yet, another win for the Sigma. Gotta get me the Sigma for my ZV-E10. Cheers.

[Haroratech]

Thanks for the video
Do you have any video tutorials for video editing as well
I really like the video quality and grading

[HristosInAfrica]

can't wait for the . vs samyang review
Btw, nice that you mentioned about the gimbal and Viltrox 13

[Chaelaz]

Just got the Sony Alpha email with the three APC lenses and immediately was wondering about how the 15mm was going to stack up against the Sigma 16mmm. And then, here is your video. I am still happy for all-around shooting vid or pics with my Tamron 17-70, but wanted that faster aperture and bit wider view, so all three you reviewed are of interest. Need to get a copy of them to test, but appreciate the review! Awesome stuff Mark. ***Edit to add, that Sony 11mm 1.8 is right in the mix.

[evasabzacami]

As usual the funniest reviews come from Mark 👏🏼

[Halumtube]

thanks man for this video, I was waiting for this ❤️ finally i decided to get the viltrox lense

[markwiemels]

So incredibly well covered. I think the Sony’s biggest resistance will be the price, it’s a lot of money for an aps-c prime, the other two are so good for the price point.

[princesslisa]

Thank you it's a very helpful video I'm getting the viltrox one for my sony zv e10

[DirtyBoots]

It's really valuable information and good reviews. Good reviews . Im new in vlogging fields and planning to buy camera and lens. I have questions which lens is good for video vlogging like city, village etc as sony APS-C Camera 11mm, 15mm, 10-20mm lens. Usually i do traveling vlogging Also I would like to know about 17- 50mm lens of Tamron. I'm doing vlogging with action camera coz I'm moto ridder too. Most of my vlogging as video shoots only can say roughly 95%. So which lens best for me for video shooting . Thanks
