I purchased this lens for my Sony FX30 and I couldn’t be happier with the quality of it. The whole rig is super compact and lightweight. I shoot primarily real estate videos and this is what I’ve been looking for!
I haven’t used it a ton yet so I’ll update this later when I have more stuff shot on it
Edit: It is now 1/23/2024 and I have been shooting 1 video a week and this lens is pretty darn good with a low to medium amount of light. At the base ISO of 2500 in Cine-EI mode on my FX30, it does pretty darn well. Not a whole lot of noise and it's able to focus quickly in those situations. I do find if it is in an all white room it will lose focus occasionally, the last house I filmed was like walking in a hospital. Every, single, room. White. Everything, white. But in the end that is my fault for not having a decent monitor yet haha
I have used it to shoot some photos and since I recently upgraded my editing/gaming rig, here are those photos from the Sony FX30 and Tamron 11-20mm F2.8 lens
I believe the settings were:
1/10 to 1/30, ISO 125, f2.8, and no color filter. Edited on DaVinci Resolve and RawTherapee
I used a LumeCube LED light and this cheapo panel light I bought
Edit: 3/4/2024
I have redone my entire color management and filmed a bonfire my friend had
It was so flipping hot I had to be over 50 feet away at first, in some shots I splashed water all over my face and arms and sent it
10/10 camera, even in extreme low light situations
I believe this was f2.8 locked, ISO 800, and 59.94fps at 1/125 as I'm now shooting in XAVC-HS 10-bit 4:2:0 as Nvidia is capable of natively decoding that codec and it tremendously speeds up the timeline and exporting.
Exported in 4K 23.976fps
