Is the viltrox af 24mm f 1 8 good for video?

The Viltrox AF 24mm f/1.8 can work for video, but it's not a stabilised lens and it isn't my first pick for vlogging. On full frame it frames as a true 24mm, and that's a little tight for arm's-length shots, since the vlogging guide suggests around 16-20mm equivalent. If you mostly film yourself, the Viltrox AF 16mm f/1.8 is closer to that brief.

It fits full-frame bodies like the Sony ZV-E1, which has the flip-out screen vloggers want. On an APS-C body the framing tightens to about 36mm, so it suits interviews and b-roll better than selfie shots.

Whatever lens you pick, budget for sound. Read the audio notes before you buy.
