Is the sony vario tessar t fe 16 35mm f 4 za oss good for vlogging?
Mostly yes, with one catch. The 16mm end is the right width for vlogging. My vlogging guide suggests roughly 16-20mm full-frame equivalent at arm's length, and this lens gives you that on a full-frame body. It's also stabilised, which helps handheld walking shots.
The catch is the crop. On APS-C this lens frames like 24-52mm, and the guide warns that 24mm already looks tight for vlogging. So pair it with a full-frame body. Good options from the fitting list:
- Sony ZV-E1, a full-frame camera built for video
- Sony a7 III, a full-frame body that's easy to find
If you want a smaller setup, a wider APS-C lens will suit you better than this one.
