    Today, I want to answer the question of "Do you need a 24-70mm lens?" For me, the Sony 24-70 f/2.8 GM has been the lens I use the most, that's made me the most money, and the one I've owned the longest. But is it right for you? We'll also be reviewing the brand new GM II to see whether newer (and more expensive) is the way to go!

    YES OR NO POLL! Do you own a 24-70?

      no, i own the tamron 28-75mm which also 2.8, and waaay cheaper than this. and image quality is near identical

      I do own one ☝️ the Sigma 24-70 f2.8 DG DN Art for my ZV-E1
      And I also own the Tamron 17-70 f2.8 for my ZV-E10

      Tamron makes some great lenses, the price point really makes them unmatched if you’re trying to keep the budget down!

    I got it together with my first full frame camera. The only lens i have right now. Never regret. But wish to get 70-200mm gm ii in future.

    I've been trying to decide between this and the Sigma, but obviously if money wasn't an issue, I'd already have the GM2 because of the size! Great vid!!

      Tough choice, but budget will always be the deciding factor haha, but the GM II is definitely worth the money-and thanks!!

    Yeah, I owned that focal length on a C100ii. Functional and useful for sure, but not exciting. I'll never buy one with my own money as I'd rather have a good 18/35/85mm for the same money and less weight. If I did more run & gun type shooting, I'd probably consider it, but I manage just fine with a good 35mm in even those situations.

    24-70 f2 is coming for Sony Woo Hooooo and f2 will make 24-70 more exciting I think ❤

      I think if they do come out with the 24-70 f2, it might become my “everything” lens honestly 👀

    Can I use this on a6700 - I mostly do landscape and product photography - and I’d love one of these but my sensor is crop

    • @DavidZhou
      @DavidZhou  3 месяца назад +1

      Yes you can! It would still be a great pairing, just keep in mind your effective focal length would be 36-105. Though, depending on how wide of a lens you like for landscapes it might not be wide enough and keep in mind that the camera will definitely be front heavy. But if that’s ok with you, it’ll result in some really sharp images!

      @@DavidZhou thank you! Unfortunately I stupidly left my beloved camera outside and it rained here… idk why I did that I have never ever left my camera anywhere! Anyway.. it’s toast. I cried. Maybe I’ll get a full frame in a few years and pair it with this lens

      @lukekaps 2 месяца назад

      yea be careful this was a mistake I made early on thinking since its built so well and so expensive that this was going to be " the best ". It is still a very nice lens, but there are so many more options that are so budget friendly. I know thats so repetitive on here but it's so true. hope you find something you enjoy

  • @PaulFeinberg

    GM II is well worth the price difference…..even though I have seen GM 1’s on facebook marketplace for like $900-$1K some good deals on the used market. I have been eyeing a used GM II for $1,800. I wish lol 😂

    Can one go with sigma or tamron?

      Absolutely! Both great options, I presume sigmas going to be sharper but the Tamron will be more affordable!

    For most (including myself), the 24-70 will be the only lens they need. The GM ii is worth the extra expense.
