Is the sony fe 16 25mm f 2 8 g good for video?

I think it's a good match for video, with one caveat. The 16-25mm range is wide, and on full frame it sits right in the 16-20mm zone the video guide recommends for vlogging at arm's length. It also has autofocus and an f/2.8 maximum aperture, which helps with shallow depth of field.

The catch is that this lens isn't stabilised, so handheld footage will shake more than it would with a stabilised lens. Pair it with a camera body that steadies the image, or use a gimbal. On an APS-C body the framing tightens to roughly 24-38mm, which is less wide for vlogging.

Audio matters as much as the lens, so plan for a microphone from the start. See the video page for options. The ZV-E1 and FX3 are both full-frame bodies that fit this lens.
