What these focal lengths actually give you on the Sony ZV-E10 II
The Sony ZV-E10 II has an APS-C sensor, so it sees a 1.5× crop of what each lens projects. Every focal length below therefore frames 1.5× tighter than its marked number. That works against you here: the widest option, the Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D, frames like 14mm — not as wide as its marked number suggests. For a genuinely wide view on the Sony ZV-E10 II you want a lens marked around 16mm or shorter.

| Tamron 12-20mm F2.8 (A084) | 570g | Weather-sealed (Tamron's own term is "Moisture-Resistant Construction" — "leak-resistant seals throughout the lens barrel"; the maker does not use the words weather-sealed. Source page states "Length and weight are for Sony E-mount", so 570g is the Sony E figure (the nikon-z entry's 585g comes from a different source and is not in conflict).) |
| Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 DG DN Art | 795g | Weather-sealed |
| Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM | 847g | Weather-sealed |
Packing light? The lightest here is the Sony E 11mm f/1.8 at 181g. The lightest weather-sealed option is the Sony E 11mm f/1.8 at 181g — the same lens.
