You're the best Arthure, I paused your video halfway through the Viltrox 27mm 1.2 section can when off to order one. Happy holidays to you and your family!

[photoangelov]

Obviously, the 18-105mm F4 needs an update, but I'm not holding my breath. It's an internal zoom lens, but it has no weather sealing at all.

[lighthousephoto]

The amount of lens options for Sony is astounding ❤

[tjdultra]

I recently just switched to Sony a6700 and currently I have the Sigma 18-50 and jumped the gun on Viltrox 27mm f1.2 with its good reviews and I like the girth and 35-ish mm focal length. I'm debating if I should get a Sony 11mm 1.8 or a Tamron 70-150mm f2.8 G2. Happy birthday to you! I'm one of the grateful folks that found your APS-C focused channel!

Happy birthday Arthur!! For APS-C, I’d love Sigma to update their 1.8 zooms. They’ve got a nice compact DC DN Contemporary lineup, but we are ready for their Art line to hit modern APS-C mirrorless 😎

From Sony, I’d love more G prime lenses like their 15mm f1.4. Hoping for a 27/1.4 and a 56/1.4, I’ll even take a 90/2 ;) But I’d also love for a 16-55/2.8 G II, the original is getting pretty long in the tooth, it’s not even compatible with focus breathing compensation and could use a smaller form factor, more contrast and hopefully an aperture ring haha

[myblujl]

The old Sony Vario-Tessar 16-70MM F4 could use an update for sure. Would make a great travel lens. Or the old 18-200! APSC is ready made for travel, so why not focus on lenses that cater to its strong points?

Happy birthday Arthur and happy Thanksgiving 🎉

[net.zwerg]

Happy Birthday, Arthur 🥳!  
If I could wish for an APS-C lens update, I would certainly go for an 70–350 mm G OSS Mark 2 at constant 3.5 😊.

[maricel_ro]

I am waiting for the Sony E PZ 18-105mm f/4 G OSS and Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD lenses to be updated.

[afferist]

Laowa 10mm - wow, so beautiful, I didn’t even know they had autofocus, thank you

[dominodevelopment]

I got half of the lenses I use this year: Sony 70-350mm, Sigma 56mm, and Viltrox 27mm. Watched your reviews, among other videos, for all those purchases. I'm especially impressed by the Viltrox: it certainly produces images with a special pop!

[markbielick]

My favorite lens on MFT format is the Panasonic Leica 10-25mm f1.7. Unbelievably sharp, fast, and built like a tank. I bought the Viltrox 27mm f1.2 because it has similar features to the 10-25mm. Large, excellent build, exceptionally sharp. I was not disappointed. It is my favorite X mount lens.

[jhirse]

7:00 By now I have close to no hope that this lens will come. With recent Sigma pricing (65 to 80% of the same FF field of view, same F stop), it would be in the $1000 - $1200 range, and I guess sales would be therefore quite tough. But I'm open to a nice surprise from Sigma 😃🤞 Recently got the Sigma 85mm F1.4 DG DN Art for my a6700, to ease the pain 😆

[ShadowRider-j]

My favorite this year Tamron 90mm macro

Hi there,

Your channel was a game-changer for me when I decided to step into the world of videography with APS-C gear. I ended up choosing the Sigma 16mm, Sigma 56mm, and the Viltrox 75mm, paired with the Sony ZV-E10, and I quickly fell in love with this setup.

Fast forward a year, and I’m now taking on professional projects, thanks to the knowledge and inspiration I got from your content.

Now, I’m looking to upgrade my camera body. What would you recommend as the next step? Also, in your opinion, should I prioritize buying the Viltrox 27mm or upgrading the body first?

Thank you for creating such a valuable and practical channel that truly helps your audience make informed decisions. A big shoutout to your lovely partner, who adds so much charm and support to all your videos—it really makes the content shine.

You’re an amazing creator, and I wish you all the best!❤❤❤❤❤❤

I am probably going to shake up my camera bag and likely get the sigma 16mm 1.4 + 18-50mm 2.8 and either the sigma 56mm 1.4 or viltrox 75mm

[LZXun]

sony definitely need to release more pancake lens

[saganandroid]

I love this idea of an annual roundup, sorted by sensor size. How long have you been doing it? Would also like to see things like Best Manual lenses of the year for both sensor sizes, as well as things like "Best Wide Angles" of The Year for both sized sensors.

[holgerokorn]

Sigma 16, 30, 56 1.4 should be updated. At full frame the Sony 24-105 F4 and the Sony 28mm f2.
