Alright, a good review, but for next time when you are reviewing, I suggest, please make sure the objects are static to their location and position. Thanks.
@@JosephValenti Hardly a scientific test but it does highlight for me how good the kit lens actually is.If you look at Photozine or Optical Limits websites where they do more scientific tests the kit lens actually does really well regarding lines/millimetre. Christopher Frost actually states that his copy, as tested, was sharper than the Sony/Zeiss 24-70 f4 !!!
@@noelwilliams2741 oh that's really cool to know; yea 100% not a scientific test more of like a basic real world test sort of vibe I was going for. I kind of want to use it on my next trip as my only lens just to see the results.
The Sony kit lens is quite sharp, much better than most other cheap kit lenses. Its main shortcoming is the lacklustre aperture, especially at 70mm. But it's small and lightweight and with image stabilisation too. So it's a decent offering for many applications, less so with low light.
I hold onto for OSS for when I am doing video work where I plan on shooting in 28mm for personal stuff., using it told me off untill I get the 24-105 which I am really excited for
This lens is underrated. It's sharp, has OSS, and the build quality is acceptable. Most importantly is the price. I got mine with my a7II for an extra CAD $200. At today's exchange rate, that's USD $145. Why would anyone NOT get this lens for that price? It's the best bargain and value for money you could ever get.
This is my go to lens for my APSC camera. Great for filming my son's soccer games, the zoom is just the right amount to capture game play across the field and action close up.
I use the FE 28-70mm professionally. I have other lenses by sigma and I’ll tell you right now that unless you know what to look for the kits lens is beautiful. Has IBS, the photos are sharp for how cheap it is, and it’s light as a feather. Yeah, aperture is lackluster but can be made up for in post!
I had this lens in the past but sold it because I got the Tamron 28-75mm F2.8. I now rebought it for €100 because I’m tired of dragging along the heavy and big Tamron lens.
@@JosephValenti some more close up stuff. I do random content and often want to show things closer up. The kit lens seems to have no interest in anything closer than ten inches-ish
@@TheAdequateMedia so the minimum focus range on the kit lens is 11.81 inches. Your best bet is to zoom it all the way out to 70 mm and use that then crop in, in like lightroom. Other than that, looking into macro lenses is probably the way to go. Rokinon makes some pretty good budget macro lenses, but I don't believe they are auto focus, - but with macro you'd be wanting use manual focus anyways. Next, learning manual mode is extremely key, I have a video about the basic understandings of manual mode that I posted I think 2? weeks ago that might help there
@@JosephValenti awesome. As for the lens i'd made that leap internally already lol. gonna be pricy, but i don't mind. Ill definitely be watching that video sir. I've messed with video a little bit so far as well, My recent short titled "Wharncliffe wed" shows some of the focus issues we were just discussing i think too. Im down for the cause of learning for sure. thanks. Just subbed, and ill be sharing some of your stuff. (organically haha)
I got the Sony a7II with the kit lens, being on a budget it was convenient that it included a lens with the body, this being my first and still only mirrorless camera with interchangeable lens. I think it's a great starter lens with someone on a budget, I've sense gotten a Sony 20mm G Lens with 1.8 which takes much better photos, but that being said, the kit lens even got me some great astrophotography. For the price difference here and the minor differences I don't feel bad it's my first lens and still most used until I can get a good prime lens.
What makes the sony “kit” lens relevant in 2024 (and why I’m watching this video) is the new versions of the a7C. Having a much lighter option to the other 24-70 or 28-75 zooms to pair with the lightweight a7Cs allows for a camera/lens combo that delivers on the concept of a really lightweight full frame package. When you want to go light and use a zoom instead of a couple of primes, this lens may just make sense.
Thanks for doing this. I have a 28-70 kit lens for my Sony A7IV and I slipped on a wet tile and broke it along with my gimbal in a fall. My camera body was fortunately ok but I never knew if I should fix the kit lens or not. I think after this, I will just let it go and stick with my newer Gmaster. Many thanks man!
Oh if you have the Gmaster equivalent there is for sure no need for it ;) I wish I had a Gmaster equivalent, the only Gmaster I have is the 24 prime (which I absolutely love as my all around travel lens. )
I'll be really transparent about the GMaster, I bought it from a lens rental shop for $1,000. I think I am going to buy all my GM lenses that way if I can. @@JosephValenti
Honestly my biggest gripe with the 28-70 is how much quality you use when trying to use lens converters. Say a macro lens converters if you wanna sorta anamorphic look … it’ll look like damn 1080p 😂
Probably the mere fact that I'm watching this video speaks volumes, however, I'm kind of getting tired of looking for these kind of reviews as it only puts in evidence how biased, shallow and at some point even hypocritical the photographer's community can be sometimes. One one side you have the ones that are obsessed with shooting in film even with old cameras. Taking into account the capabilities and quality of the equipment back then now that we have come so far, makes it feel ridiculous to be obsessing about details like the ones we tend to see in this type of videos. In the end I have seen amazing photos taken with ASPC entry level 5 year old cameras than the ones taken by a rich dude with a high end Hasselblad just released. It comes to skill, talent and passion more tan gear.
This lens' biggest issue is its soft off the center, even stepped down to f11, f16. Maybe good for portrait, but not good for landscape. In general not a sharp lens.
I'm sorry but.. should have placed the object.. take a pic.. swap lens.. take 2nd pic... and then go to the next object. That way the objects would have be exact same position, same distance, etc.. not a good comparison the way you did it.. but I appreciate the effort!
my feel on this lens is it has it's place. I own a A7c ii and it is perfect for travel as it is soo small and light. I also own the tamron equivalent of your sony, but it is much larger than the kit lens so not great for travel, or just to leave on the camera while it just sits in my car as a car camera
I am working on a follow up video to this and I agree; like every time I go to sell it, I reason "why should I?" I love it as a backpacking solution when I don't want to carry a lot of weight.
100% not 5 times better I agree - At the same time, you don't need a full frame a7iv in most cases either. If you're a hobbyist you can get by with a a6000 and an apsc lens if you know what you're doing for a fraction of the price. Most people who shoot full frames are doing it for professional reasons ( I.e. wedding photography) ' although even then , people still shoot apsc just fine in that case.' So it's kind of like, while i don't expect 5x, I wouldn't mind 0.5 x to get that slight upper edge
Off course not. But it`s a silly assumption that it has to be. My prime lens costs 1500 and it doesn`t even zoom. That`s 7 times more, but it take it every day over this zoom because it`s worth it to me. Because it`s magic.
Hi! Im about to buy A7III comes with this lens but wondering which other lens is good to take picture for small handmade crafts and could work for video (RUclips) as well! Hope you can help! Great video!!!🙌🏻

@@pattybastidas9099 so a lot will tell you here that you should probably upgrade from the kit lens - but a lot of photography is technique and lighting with product photography.

At a later date, for your vlogs especially shorts, I like to go "wide" to make it feel more engaging for the audience. I have a Sigma 14-24 that I absolutely love for this Welcome to the photography realm!
Coming from Nikon z6 I got the a7iv with the kit lense and I see the af is definitely better but this kit lense really looks like crap compared to the 24-70 kit lense I have with the z6. I'm getting a little worried, I even took it outside to try to get some sharp images but everything looked a little bit soft. Maybe I have to do a thoro look into the settings to make sure everything is ok.
Got a drive link so I can see the images from the kit lens? I’ll let ya know if I get similar results or not and maybe we can try and pin point the issue
@@JosephValenti Was at the park today and pictures were a little better. What do u have set in the "creative look" menu? I noticed my pictures look a little dull with no dynamic range.
The lens is really sharp and good for its price. Even though the aperature is kind of bad, you can still get nice bokeh, but in low light when filming, there is a lot of noise. Low light with pictures was never a problem though. And btw, my profile picture is shot using that lens.
Hey y'all, I just started photography class at my college. I'm thinking about buying the A7III with the 28-70 lens. While this video is informative I'm still very discouraged about what to get, it's very difficult making the first camera purchase. Any thoughts? I plan to do real estate photography once I graduate.
Think of the 28-70 as like a “hey I want a good camera but don’t have enough money for a top tier lens and a camera yet” you’re still in class and for all purposes, this lens will suit you just perfect. When you’re out, and actively trying to do real estate photography, buy your new lenses that year so you can use it as a write off for your new photography business. For real estate I use the 14-24 sigma :)
@@JosephValenti Your comment was extremely helpful and I took your advice. I now have the A7III with the 28-70 lens. Very happy with my purchase so far! Thank you very much! I feel honored to have a reply from the guy on the channel! Hah! 🤜💥🤛
Great video man! I have an new to photography and just purchased the 6400 to start street photography and occasionally landscape, would this lens be good to cover both as a start up lens or would there be something else you recommend paying a little more for?
Man if you can afford it get one of the new g series apsc lenses those things are wonderful. But yea as a beginner this lens will do great, but you do have really good apsc options that are budget friendly
I`ve seen a few foto`s from this lens. I think it`s bad. It lacks color and contrast and has a very uneasy rendering that boosts noice. It has no place anymore in the lineup from sony because it doesn`t cut it anymore, if it ever did. I`m not even talking about corner sharpness and speed...........

Lets be more frank where photography is I could kick yer arse The sony lens regardless of what other lens you are using.
I actually like the Sony better. Looks more natural. The Sigma looks over-sharpened by comparison. In any case, I think the differences are insignificant for general photography (as compared to pixel peeping)
@@JosephValenti Gmaster, actually I have 200-600mm for wildlife. But i need a lens for daily life. Thankyou for replying, i will be taking 28-70mm kitlens for now.
@@lemphaboham the main thing I don't like about the 28-70 is the variable Aperture value, everything else I like about it as a cheap throw around lens ;p
well I am buying this camera but the seller told me that they are out of stock the 28-60 and they told me that they have the 28-70 i am not sure if i should accept it
Hi . I have always used canon 6d mark ii. I am looking to buy the sony a7iii with this lens 28-70mm. I mainly need it for photography for my content creation. This is basically just pictures/portraits while I am travelling. I want a wide angle lens so that I am able to capture more of the background with me standing in the middle. Lol. Would you recommend this combo? Or should I just get a 24-70mm lens with canon 6d mark ii Any help would be appreciated.
I mean I am for sure a Sony fan boy so I am biased haha , but canon is just as good in all reality. If your are looking for wide, the sigma 14-24 f/2.8 is your best bang for its buck. Using the kit lens plus the addition of this lens, would cover a nice angle of focal length. That being said my travel photography kit is a Sony a7iv with a GMaster 24 prime, it’s my favorite because the quality is top tier, and the lens is very light. Makes it a perfect travel set up for me.
Changing to sony with this lens in mind seems utterly ridiculous to me. It`s the bottom of the barrel. Better buy a decent lens for your canon and save al lot, while getting a much better picture.
Honestly that 24-105 is pretty nifty even tho it.s a f4. But personally I don't like how a 85 looks, 50 is my go to for what you're looking for (But again that's just personal preference)
I'm going to be videoing and taking photos at, yep, child birth! I have to be at a distance a lot and just want to good one that can focus good enough from a distance. My Sony won't have this with it. That makes me want to learn more about it before buying one. I juuuuuuuust might get another kind now. Hmmmm 🤔
@@JosephValenti I'm still browsing but someone did say these are not really needed being the places are not THAT large you need that type lens for. I'd still like to get one, though.

@@lemphaboham the main thing I don't like about the 28-70 is the variable Aperture value, everything else I like about it as a cheap throw around lens ;p
well I am buying this camera but the
seller told me that they are out of stock
the 28-60 and they told me that they
have the 28-70 i am not sure if i should
accept it
Hey man, yea seems fishy to me, I have never heard of a 28-60 that seems weird
@@JosephValenti I believe the 28-60 was the kit lens that goes with the A7c! I heard it's not as good as the 28-70mm.
@@touayg1106 I never even knew there was a 28-60! Dang learned something today mate thanks!
I actually like the sony better for some weird reason.
Honestly sneakily good
Hi . I have always used canon 6d mark ii.
I am looking to buy the sony a7iii with this lens 28-70mm.
I mainly need it for photography for my content creation. This is basically just pictures/portraits while I am travelling. I want a wide angle lens so that I am able to capture more of the background with me standing in the middle. Lol.
Would you recommend this combo?
Or should I just get a 24-70mm lens with canon 6d mark ii
Any help would be appreciated.
I mean I am for sure a Sony fan boy so I am biased haha , but canon is just as good in all reality.
If your are looking for wide, the sigma 14-24 f/2.8 is your best bang for its buck. Using the kit lens plus the addition of this lens, would cover a nice angle of focal length.
That being said my travel photography kit is a Sony a7iv with a GMaster 24 prime, it’s my favorite because the quality is top tier, and the lens is very light. Makes it a perfect travel set up for me.
Changing to sony with this lens in mind seems utterly ridiculous to me.
It`s the bottom of the barrel.
Better buy a decent lens for your canon and save al lot, while getting a much better picture.
$225 vs $979 I take Sony 28-70mm anytime!
In most situation I agree I think
Does anyone know what the best lens for a zoomed in look, with the nice separation from the blur background/ cinematic? I was thinking 85mm
Honestly that 24-105 is pretty nifty even tho it.s a f4. But personally I don't like how a 85 looks, 50 is my go to for what you're looking for (But again that's just personal preference)
I'm going to be videoing and taking photos at, yep, child birth! I have to be at a distance a lot and just want to good one that can focus good enough from a distance.
My Sony won't have this with it. That makes me want to learn more about it before buying one. I juuuuuuuust might get another kind now. Hmmmm 🤔
Have you looked into any other lenses at the moment or still browsing ?
@@JosephValenti I'm still browsing but someone did say these are not really needed being the places are not THAT large you need that type lens for. I'd still like to get one, though.
@@mariannepetersen7537 what focal range are they suggesting , going wide?
To The Comment Section: So Does the quality of a picture come down to skill and talent over the gear? I’m trying to get my RUclips and IG booming.
I would say 60% Gear 40% Skill for best results - but when first starting off it's probably more like 80% skill 20% gear
@@JosephValenti I’m tryna buy a camera and simply be done with everything having to buy one. I’m thinking the Sony A7iv but I don’t know what lenses I should buy.
well what's your budget? I am sure I can help you figure out a perfect starting set for you if you give me a budget to work with :)@@Rahyse
@@Rahyse Feel free to send me an email if you don't want to put your budget here: josephvalentico@gmail.com
I want to say 3k and less for the body; 1k and less for the lense so 4k in all@@JosephValenti
Almost same... I think I prefer sony
oof honestly, coming back and re-watching the comparison I think it might be a bit more closer than I first expected
This is the worst comparison I've ever seen. You did'nt even used zoom!!!
Sorry friend I’ll get it better next time!
what a horrible lens to be used on full frame camera .
I really don’t think it’s horrible, I mean it’s a good starter lens if you have a used older gen camera that you gave to your kid or something
Sell me the lens lol
it's sooooo cheap pick that guy up on ebay my man
Such a bad comparison
I am sorry
