10 Lenses that Make APS-C Better than Full Frame

I'm thinking of getting my first camera within the next year or so. I have my eyes on the Sony A6700 as I want to be prepared for both photo and video capture. I would like to be versatile with priority for music events which may be indoors and require good low-light performance. Let's say my budged allows me to get two of those lenses in the video, which ones would you recommend?

Get a Tamron, Get a Sigma Prime. That will do most of the things.

Sigma

guessing sigma 23mm 1.4

18-35 1.8 is heaaavy

Here are the 10 prime lenses I use on my Fuji mirrorless:

12mm f/2 Rokinon
16mm f/1.4 Fuji
23mm f/1.4 Fuji
55mm f/3.5 adapted Nikkor macro
56mm f/1.2 Fuji
105mm f/2.8 adapted Nikkor macro
135mm f/2 adapted Zeiss
400mm f/5.6 adapted Nikkor
500mm f/4 adapted Nikkor
1000mm f/11 adapted Nikkor mirror

I now have a better understanding of a metamorphic lens and how it relates to the sensor size. Definitely in my wish list. Excellent video!!!

Lens 3 really blew my mind 🤯

Viltrox 75mm 1.2?

I admit my ignorance... I own a Canon R7 and the Sigma 18-35mm, but I did not realize that lens was designed for cropped sensor; I assumed (wrongly) that because it was advertised as an EF mount (not EF-S), it was designed for FF. This is an amazing lens though. Mark's other video on "Debunking the crop sensor myths" describes my situation very well. I thought that buying a FF camera would be an upgrade, but the more I think about it, the more buying the R7 was the right choice for me.

sony 11mm f/1.8, viltrox 27mm f/1.2 pro, sigma 56mm f/1.4, viltrox 75 f/1.2 pro. With two Sony a6700.

Hi Mark, I really tried to like your reviews. You’re a good presenter, and I like your enthusiasm. But not saying the name of the products, then not naming them in the video description, just to force us to click in your link so you earn some $? Cmon. I’m unsubscribing

I'm confused as to why you wouldn't consider the Canon 17-35 f2.8L?

I'll guess 22mm? Lens 10

What adapters are best for my Sony FS5mii.... Thanks!

Just for the contrarian’s sake, the Canon Rf 24-105mm F2.8 has even greater range on full frame cameras than the Tamron 17-70mm on APS-C cameras. Don’t compare the bulk, weight and the price though.

Needless to say, the Canon lens only works on Canon R serious cameras, not as universally compatible as the Tamron.

Nothing wrong with APS-C. But Full Frame is better.
And no lens has anything to do with the worthiness of a format. In effect, a particular lens can't improve a format.

Great video. Please add the equivalent focal length when used on MFT sensor. It really helps if you add lens name and focal length when you talk about that lens.

👍

Mark Wiemels, thanks for this. Your exposures are always so perfect. Is it true the aps-c offers more depth of field than full-frame? Or is it the other way around?

Very interesting & informative channel

Pl. tell something on tamron 15-30 mm f2.8

Sigma

Lens 10 is Sigma 16 f1.4. I have 2 of them 😂

I see you're a fellow Melbournian. I've got an A6700 + Sony 24-105mm F4 & Sigma 35mm 1.4. I'm wanting to do some more street photography (ideally at night). Do you think these are suitable, or should I save up for the 18-35mm?

Have you found a reliable AF-capable EF/EF-S to Z adapter at all?

Чувак ты просто богачка

Before watching this video, I had plans to purchase two of the lenses you covered here. The Tamron 17-70mm F2.8 and the Astrhori 18mm F8 were going to be my first two lens purchases to go with the FX-30. I intend to do a lot of smallish product type shots primarily with a small home studio setup.

Bei Objektiv 9 von seinen Lieblingslinsen weiss er gar nicht wie Lichtstark sie ist . 😊

In China, Sigma's 16mm.1.4, 30mm.1.4 and 56mm.14 lenses are known as the Sigma Three Musketeers. Doesn't that sound cool.

Not seen one review, let alone a reference, to the Meike brand or their 10mm UWA lens before. Your review as a whole is bang on. Will trawl through your vids for the Best Zooms/Telephoto lenses now. Nice work.

I can't decide.. Fuji xt5 or canon r7..

I got the focal length correct but not the manufacturer (thought it might have been the Viltrox version - though the "premium of 3rd party" should have given it away)

Sigma art lenses are about as good as it gets. Smallrig makes a cage for the zv -e10.

Im looking for a zoom telephoto that gives me reach on a budget, i have many lenses that are great however in my aps fuji i dont have a long reach one!

The lense n2 it has an equivalent … I have it … it is the Tamron 2.8 27-70 its very good, you loose a bit of wide but is as crisp as the APSC brother

Sigma 18-50 F2.8 is king. I am surprised it wasn’t mentioned.

The Sigma 18-35mm F/1.8 was the first super sharp lens that I’ve bought back in 2018 for my Canon 80D back then. Using it on the Canon 90D it was still sharp edge to edge on its 32MP APS-C sensor, which has the same pixel density as an 83MP full frame one. So on the R5 which switches to just about 17MP in APS-C mode it’s just as sharp as it gets.

Wouldn't touch Canon with a 10 foot pole...

Oh man i saw the probe lens on ebay for cheap. Shoulda got it

Can you recommend Canon lenses for wildlife? Thank you.

For example full frame version of 17-70 f/2.8 is 24-120 f/4. It is exact equivalent of APS-C 16-80 f/2,66, so technically better range and even faster. I also thought that there is nothing like Sigma 50-100 f/1.8, but actually now I have Nikkor 70-180 f2.8 which is way lighter and on FX is equivalent of 47-120 f/1,86 on APS-C, faster focusing and even less color fringes. There is also no 45mpix APS-C camera.

Great video thank you. The Tamron 17--70mm has an equivalent in the several 24-105mm lenses that are not so uncommon.

Speaking of Sigma lenses on a Sony 6400 I've had nothing but focus problems with the 16mm F1.4.

Siriu is af?

Sigma 16mm F1.4
