"The new Sony 10-20mm pz is what I would grab."
·
"The a7 IV is great for video projects with 10bit recording and 4k 60p."
·
"Lighter than GM, and f4 is better for a lot of vlogging situations."
·
"Works well on standard mode with Catalyst Prepare for stabilization."
·
"Great for active use, but can be shaky at times."
·
"Interested in using it for in-body Dynamic stabilization."
·
"The 24mm f1.4 GM is a super solid lens, but I've heard that the 20mm f1.8G actually performs better in video."
·
"The remote zoom control is very useful for vlogging."
·
"The a7 III is still a great option if you want to save money."
·
"The Dynamic Active stabilization is not effective for wide lens vlogging."

"The Tamron 17-28 f2.8 on my a7iii is my choice."

"Both the Tamron 20-40 and Viltrox 20 1.8 are great options."

"Does not stabilize as well as Sony lenses."

"You'll want the STM for the silent autofocus."
·
"The 50mm 1.8 USM is great for silent focusing, but the Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 is a solid choice for wide-angle photography."
