Just jumped in the LOXIA rabbit hole with the 21 and 35mm lenses. Zeiss knew what they were doing, after years of lugging around monster weight fast glass it is a joy using their light weight strong performing lenses!

How do you keep focus using a manual lens to video a whole building walking through the building

Just got one for $320 and scouring reviews after 😂

Thanks for the great video. Would you suggest it also today in 2024?

The audio on this video is freaking me out man. 😳

Hi Matt, Great video. I can barely hear what you are saying though

Excellent.

Looking forward to more SHN

You have a phase issue with your audio.

Can’t heard you

Why hasn't this video gotten more views? Matt has done a really good job here.

Know this is an older video but I bought the Batis in 2015 which was two years ahead of the Sony 85/1.8. As simple as that. Bought the Sony 85/1.4 GM in late 2016. Again before the f/1.8 was available since 85mm was a key focal length to me after owning the Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 L II. Now also own the Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L. Waiting on Sony for an f/1.2 as well. Thank you and take care.

Very useful video thankyou , as a sony A1 shooter I am looking at purchasing this bit of kit . I currently use a RODE external mic in the hotshoe of the camera when recording . If I buy the Ninga five would the rode mic go into the Ninja or still in the camera for best results ? secondly can you recommend any cold shoe adaptors to connect both the Ninja and the External Mic ?

Hi, I am considering the 12mm Laowa or the laowa14mm for both photography and videography. Which one would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

The 3D pop on the Zeiss is just insane. I don't get why people aren't aware of this phenomenon. We should all be demanding the big manufacturers (but Sony at the very least) to take notes from Zeiss and prioritize this over clinical sharpness. But it won't happen because very few talk about this and so it's not the metric manufacturers optimize for anymore save for Zeiss, sigh.

Just found this video , hoping you come back

Rode is better.

I dont get why peeps need MF on the lens when we have so many custom buttons these days, its not like they are hard to find even when looking thru the lens.

If you want to impress your friends with spec sheets, buy gm master, if you want to impress them with photos, choose the Batis. Preferred the Bohka on the Batis and the contrast range. I used to hunger the low F numbers once, until I realised most of my shots were somewhere in the middle of the range anyway, rarely do you have a subject that looks better with a low depth of field. For new guys, save your money and avoid the F1.2, F1.4 etc, nothing wrong with going F2 lens or above with a decent modern camera. Boy, that GM lens to me looks ugly as sin next to the Batis, looks like forest gumps light saber.

Right now the A7S III with Atomos Ninja V used are WAY cheaper than the FX3. Good luck finding a cheap FX3 or FX30. B&H Photo is your best bet. We need more cameras like the Sigma FP that can record directly to USB drives. The big brands like Sony are trying to protect their cinema camera lines.when they should be pivoting their business to what customers need, not protecting a dying line of overpriced cinema cameras. Sometimes you have to stop trying to maximize profits to be competitive.

LOVE this. Amazing video. This might be cheeky but what font are your titles?

fantastic quality !! Really enjoyed this presentation, well done!

Little bit after a year purchasing a brand new smallrig VB99, USB-C connector has some slack, which causes loss of electrical signal, leading to power interruptions during charging through this port. I believe it requires opening up the VB99 and soldering a new USB-C port. How should I proceed? Have you ever had to open a VB99?

i use the Samyang 14mm F2.8 and is amazing, I will say is better like the loawa 12 mm

What a terrible sound I want to watch the video I can’t this sound sounds like World War II speaking microphones 😂 I think you need to make a video how to make better sound video 😂

Informative, nicely done, thank you!

Whether it's the best is debatable. The problem with this lens (and more so with the new 10mm) is that it produces an image that makes the space look too... spacious. Wouldn't your work be better served with a 17 and 24 TS-E?

How do you use a cpl filter with this lens?

Best video on YT about this lens, amazing work!

What the hell with the music? I just can’t watch this! Please take this as constructive criticism.

GM is almost double the price. For the extra Bokeh it's not worth it. The deep Bokeh looks stupid to me coz people can't tell where you were, especially when traveling.

I like your style, keeps someone watching.

Zeiss just render everything much better.

4 years later and I just picked up this lens, just short of mint, today for $650. Not too shabby.m Nice review, amigo.

I have been using it for a year now. Great battery.

Oh my god I'm so happy I found this video. I mean it took a while to start that intro.... And is that really your voice? Great voice! But yeah I have that v99 and I'm like what the f*** is this power button for? It bugged me so much the other day I put it down and walked away and didn't come back to it for a few days until today and now I'm like still scratching my head. It's the most perplexing thing. I'm so happy to hear I'm not the only one confused about this power button.😂

Have you ever had clients complain that it is too wide and looks unrealistic? Currently use 16-35 and prefer the look of the 12mm. Just don't want to give the wrong impressions of a property! Thanks!

1. The Batis (on my Sony A7) contrast isn't quite enough, but women feel it is "kind." 2. Wish it had on-barrel control. 3. I find myself thinking about my Nikon 85 AF-S on my D750...a lot.

3:35 declicked aperture is good for video if you want to change aperture mid shot so it's smooth

thanks so much for the video

Team Zeiss Batis 85mm ❤

I think they are both great for different case uses especially if you’re able to have both. Zeiss being more of a travel friendly lens great for street/documentary photography and landscape work while the g master is better for studio work, portraiture as well as landscapes for those who do it professionally

Awesome job!!! Great explanatory video, I wonder what's the mound adapter for the vintage lenses like the one you pointed (Pentax Super Tacumar 135mmm) thanks in advance! Already subscribed to your channel God Bless You!

So glad i stumbled upon this review. I'm currently building my real esrate photography business and have been looking into the sony 12-24mm f4 and f2.8. Although they seem like great options, the f4 just dodgy get me excited, and the f2.8 made my wallet cringe. This seems like a good option to go with and now makes it so i can go w with the Sony PZ 16-35mm f4 I've been wanting instead. Thanks again

Such a great video, Thanks Man!

💯

Sharpness for portraits… 😂😂😂

Are you using a pirate copy of windows for your reviews? 🫣🤣

Despite the Spiderman image, I liked the FE images more.

VERY BAD sound !!!
