    the audio goes really loud and quiet in loads of scenes , for example skip to 5:14 and listen

      At least in Final Cut, the levels are about the same, but I think the effect is caused by me switching to a different mic. I think one is more bass-heavy than the other, so if you have bass-heavy speakers, one mic might sound louder.

      If sounds like some doubling of FCP audio filters at places… it’s fine, but not to your usual standards… I always appreciate you and Chelsea work hard to get things done and overlook small things like this… I think for these types of videos getting it done and out is more important than a perfection in production that no one really cares too much about.

      If Final Cut can't indicate heavily clipping audio, you should use something else! It stopped me watching halfway through the video@@TonyAndChelsea

    I know a couple of people have already chimed in, but the audio levels are all over the place. Heavy clipping in some sections and barely audible in others. Have you considered a switch to Davinci Resolve? The fairlight audio tools are incredible and the cut page with speed editor saves a TON of time.

    It's not really talked about anywhere, but this lens has two "specifically optimized" Linear Motors, not the XD Linear motors. That said, I haven't ever seen AF side-by-side between the two types of linear motors. They do say this is compatible for the A9 III at 120fps, so I'm a bit confused. Does "specifically optimized" mean better than XD or worse?

  • @stevenwaldstein2249
    @stevenwaldstein2249 10 месяцев назад +1

    Thanks for the video. I’m not comparing the new 24-50/2.8 G to the 24-70/2.8 GM II I already own but to the 24/2.8, 40/2.5, and 50/2.5 G small trinity. I think I would rather the single small zoom that also includes 28, 35, and 40mm which will cost about the same or a little more. What are your thoughts here. Any you wish to share? Also see that the Zeiss Batis 25/2, 40/2, 85/1.8 are great and each is lighter, but not smaller, than this lens. If I get this in my travel kit I might use the 24-50/2.8 G with the 20/1.8 G and Batis 85/1.8. This would all be on my A7CR. Take care.

    For travel on the a7c bodies what do you think of the Tamron 28-200 F/2.8-5.6 Di III? It’s 4.6” long and starts at 2.8. I find in landscape the mountain vista or rock formations might be too far for a 50mm.

    • @kilianortmann9979
      @kilianortmann9979 10 месяцев назад +1

      I got one on a A7III and I think it is the lens for travel. Sharp out to 200mm and f2.8 at 28mm is really usable for a lot of evening/indoors low light situations.
      Realistically speaking, when traveling I am not hunting for the biggest bokeh, I want to get safe, sharp, shots at the right focal length, without annoying my family because I walk all over the place to get the right framing.

      I'll do it for them: Tamron has 4mm on the wider end, which is great for architecture. The Tamron costs less. The Sony has additional 10mm on the tele end, which can be useful for portraits. The Sony is probably a little sharper and probably focuses a little bit faster. Done.

    As a painter, I am looking to upgrade my camera & lens combo to photograph my art for prints. Prints are 90% of my revenue. I usually stitch together 75+ images to create my high resolution art prints but the images are soft. To document 1 painting it takes 2+ days of stitching. Binge watching your videos - it looks like the Sony a7rc with a Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II will give me superb detail in my painting photos for prints. And since my other use for a camera is shooting in the rainforest, will give me the best durability/weatherproof for foggy forest & sunshine photos. The price tag really hurts... but it is exactly what my needs are. Each time I try to find a cheaper lens combo - the price tag adds up to the 24-70 GM II. 🤔🤔 This video shows the incredible detail captured by this lens in the print example. Am I missing an option?

  • @peterstrachan1794
    @peterstrachan1794 10 месяцев назад

    I wish Sony would stop mucking about. 24-50mm is a useless range for video work. Meanwhile, the 24-70mm GM II isn't parfocal so is useless for filming actuality or observationally. The 20-70mm is parfocal but it's f4 so harder to match up in multi camera set ups with f2.8 lenses and being able to reduce the depth or field as much as possible is really helpful. So, come on Sony, please give us a full frame zoom with a good range like 20-70...20-100 (ish) would be better...that is F2.8, or even F2.0, and parfocal!

    So disappointed that this isn’t 20-50! It’s a great kit lens, but it doesn’t fit into the ecosystem for pros IMO. If that’s unfair, at minimum, it doesn’t add anything to the ecosystem besides a budget friendly option; the issue is the 20-40 Tamron, and other 3rd party options that have more value in that they are still cheaper with more range.
