Solid work. Thanks Chris!

I’ve always wondered why this lens doesn’t get more love.

This is the best and usefull review I've seen on this lens. You're asking the right questions... and giving the answers. Thanks a lot and congratulations

I just bought 35mm gm and couldn't be happier....I tend to shoot wide alot so naturally I have a lot of wide angle primes and zooms. So I wanted to get something not too wide but not to close and the 35 achieves that. I had the 24mm gm but felt it was too close to my 20mm g lens so I got rid of it now with a combo of 20mm 35mm and Sigma 10-18mm I feel I'm covered at the wide range. I do have the 40mm g lens which is great and compact but misses that pop only being a 2.5. I'm thinking I need the sony 55mm f1.8 to cover the last prime I need and feel the rest with the tampon 70-180 later on in the future.

Thanks for the awesome video. This does sound like a great lens. I'd still love to get the GM for lower light situations. Keep up the good work.

Good video brother. I just picked up this lens for my food videos and I'm excited to use it!

it's look like that Tammy lack's on micro-contrast?Am i wrong?Thanks!BTW great video!

Wow, your photos are so sharp !!

Do you think it would've shot this video as clean as the lens you used?

New sub, dude! New sub!

thank you l need your help please I bought a Sony A7III and am looking for a lens to shoot bridal, wedding and portrait sessions i need lens creates stunning images with a special character that competes with other photographers. In your opinion, is this lens suitable? Or i choose one of these options 1_ sigma 85 1.4 dg dn with sigma 24-70 g2 2_ sony 50mm 1.2 3- sigma 28-105. f 2.8

Nice video. I consider one benefit it has over the Tamron being its tripod collar and foot for shooting on a tripod. For stills it's handy for both landscape type shots with longer exposure times and potentially for some macro shots. I wouldn't want to put my A7Cii on a tripod with the Tamron 70-180/2,8 attached..even if it's probably fine mechanically it'll be more sensitive to wind and movement. The foot provides a better point of balance (even if it moves slightly with the zoom action extension). For all handheld photography I'd go with the Tamron, both for the fiscal savings as well as for the low light & blur capabilities of f/2,8 vs f/4.

Nice review. Thank you.

Great video thanks!

I'm not surprised the camera had trouble focussing on the toy at 4.03 in - when you reduced the focus area, you made it entirely black. Any camera would struggle if you do that.

I have the a9iii and it keeps up very well. I enjoy it and the half maro is very nice

what do you think about sigma 70-200mm f2.8? price range is around sony f4 ii lens.

Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 G2 or Sony 70-200mm f/4 Macro??????

im looking at picking this up paired with a 20-70 f/4 for my trip to thailand next year. pair it with an fx3 or zve1 & that f4 light problem is non existent

It’s like you knew I needed this video and made it for me! Love it! Thanks, Chris!

Great review! I personally own a Tamron 35-150 and was wondering if you feel like the 180 is too redundant with 150/what alternatives you would consider if I wanted more reach? I use an A7IV and mainly shoot sports/events btw

I don't think the biggest elephant is the 20mm but how much the stabilization might fight with your pans in video since it doesn't have a mode selector switch (which Tamron uses on lenses like the 50-400). I've seen video evidence that leads to contradictory conclusions -- both that it's fine and also that it's terrible and creates jerky pans at times -- so it might be helpful to weigh in there a bit more specifically (obviously the now discounted G1 version without stabilization is an option!). I can't really tell from your footage since there's a lot of motion blur (sports people crank our shutter speed up past the 180 degree rule; I film 120fps with 1/500 often). Buying a lens in this focal range is clearly the most complicated piece of the puzzle for most of us these days with so many options and tradeoffs.

You're such a professional. I just got mine too & had to make a review from a action perspective. Best audio upgrade.

Recently bought this lens when I upgraded to the Sony A7, it takes great photos and videos. Enjoyed your review.

I bought one to add to my travel kit and I’m using it on my compact C bodies like the A7CR and A7CII. I’ve always owned a f/2.8 70-200 and have the GM II since it came out but size, weight, and versatility convinced me to get the f/4 G and I found a mint used copy to save some money. Also can leave my FE 90/2.8 G MACRO at home now so it really lightens my load when low light is not a must. Thank you for your video and take care.

Great review, I got mine 2 weeks ago & it very quickly became 1 of my fav lenses, due to it's size, weight & versatility.

Good pictures

Thanks for the useful tips Chris.

Beautiful simulation! Thank you ! I did saved it on my xt30ii. Love it ! Although i have set the color +3. Just my personal taste. Greetings from Germany🧡

Nice talking points--I'm still waiting on my order from BH from launch day...living through everyone else.

Another good one, man. Love seeing the Oregon coast shots and the breakdown on what makes you enjoy that thing so much.

Great pics! Looks like a relaxing place

Классная природа, классная камера а половина фоток бездарных, чувак посмотри пару видосов как выстраивать композицию, и тогда твои видео будут набирать десятки тысяч просмотров.

One of the better reviews of this lens ... subscribed!

This got to be one of the best reviews of the A7IV that I had watched on you tube.

A classic clean, sharp, Sony news-footage-worthy, editorial gathering lens that, as long as you have your exposure correct, tells it like it is with no "character coloring": very important in news gathering. Any of the footage you got here could have been shown on any evening news channel. I admit, I might not have considered it before your review. Well done. PS: Keep plugging; I knew your channel would grow!

Great video, Chris. I like the integration of storytelling into the video, i.e. your sister-in-law’s marathon shots. You deserve more subscribers!

I bought this lens. It doesn’t take the most stunning images but it’s really good. It’s light and focuses so close for 70-200.

You would love the first version even more. Especially that internal zoom. Such a shame Sony didn't implement it on this lens.

Pros choose rather brighter lenses and that's nothing weird because they make a living from photography. But the f/4 like this one should be good enough for most shooters 👌If it's too expensive there are still great third party alternatives.

Excellent presentation of material. Success in the development of the channel.

I am thinking of going for the 70-200mm f2.8 GMII is there a huge difference or is the extra 1/3rd of an F Stop of light worth it?

You're totally right, Chris! Got it a few weeks ago and it kicks a$$... Love the versatility! 👌

i love mine ;) paired with a6700

Love the look of this thing. Excited to see if it becomes more popular than it has in the past.

Nice video man

Awesome video, thanks for posting. I have a question regarding the new 5th generation sensor. Are there any improvements besides the pixel count? Some youtubers mentioned that new sensor has more vivid and punchier colors versus 4th gen with more flat and muted output. I narrowed down to XS20 and XT50, but 26 megapixels is more than enough for me. On the other hand, if new sensor has batter output, I want it to get one. I plan to use Jpeg with film simulations.

Great video! I have been using both Sony and Fuji for a few years now (A74/XT-5/X100vi). I agree that the Fuji AF is not on the same level as Sony, but if you haven’t already, do make sure that you are putting the camera In “boost” mode (in Menu - wrench icon>power management>performance>boost). This allows the camera to use the full functionality of the AF system and for some reason is not on by default out of the box.
