What are the best budget lenses for the ZV-E10 II for handheld vlogging?
I keep seeing the Sigma 16mm recommended online but it looks really bulky and heavy, while the Sony 11mm is way over my $300 limit. I'm starting my travel channel in two weeks and need something light that wont break the bank...

TL;DR: Snag a used Samyang 12mm or just use the tiny kit lens! Been thinking about your post for a bit and honestly... I totally feel you on the weight thing! When I first started vlogging, I lugged around a huge rig and my arm was basically dead by noon lol. It was a total nightmare. You should seriously look at the Sony E PZ 16-50mm f3.5-5.6 OSS II. People bash kit lenses but its actually fantastic for travel because its so light and the power zoom is amazing for vlogging! Another fantastic option is the Samyang AF 12mm f2.0 E. I love it because its super light and way wider than 16mm. If you hunt for a used one, you can definitely snag it for under $300 before your trip. Its a total game changer for handheld stuff!

> need something light that wont break the bank... Just caught this, but honestly im super happy with the TTArtisan 10mm f/2.0 ASPH Sony E-mount. Its manual focus but vlogging is easy since everything stays sharp. No complaints tho!
