in a scenario where I can only have two lenses the 24-70 makes more sense. Yes it's bigger but I'm also able to shoot a nice portrait spontaneously without changing the lens. Just the price tho..
AH yes this is the REAL choice. THB if I was considering a 24-70 F2.8 it would be the Sigma one based on price as the image seems about the same as the Sony GM one.
@@alphaandomega2709 I love the lens. It's better than expected.... sharp, small and compact. Covers the most important focal lengths for me 24, 35 and 50mm. Definitely recommend.
I wish they would zoom the same way as all cine zooms . This is an advantage of Sigma . If Sony is going after folk used to cine zooms they should change , but stills folk might get pissed off ? Their power zooms ,you can change it in the camera menu.
More like we are spoiled as Sony shooters. Once you shoot F2.8 and also can shoot F4 making it more versatile you won’t go back to F4 lenses. Overall a Win Win for Sony.
Great comparison. Thanks. For me, the main takeaway for the 24-50 is that you get two lenses in one, so to speak. A FF 24-50 F2.8, and with APSC-crop also a 50-75. What do you think about that use-case? Given that thought, I’m surprised you did not mention the Tamron 20-40 F2.8. Very neat little lens. You get the 20-23mm on the wide end and can still APSC-crop to 60mm. Would that be a good option for travel and walkabout photography? I’d say yes.
I legit want to replace my 24-70 Art with a 24-50 G Whenever I shoot with the 24-70 I always shoot between 24 and 50. If I go past 50 I'm always a little too short and would rather use an 85mm.
Thanks for the video. As of May 2024 I own both the 24-70/2.8 GM II and use it with my A1 and A7RV and the new 24-50/2.8 G and use it on my A7CR and A7CII that I bought for lighter/smaller travel. I have the 70/2.8 GM II for two years now and the original GM before that. All great lenses and for me size does matter. Take care.

Amazing review, i'm going to get 24-50 f2.8 next week!
I would love a comparison between the sigma 24-70 2.8 vs the sony 24-50mm 2.8
me too
Yes, seeing as they are priced about the same
AH yes this is the REAL choice. THB if I was considering a 24-70 F2.8 it would be the Sigma one based on price as the image seems about the same as the Sony GM one.
Me too plz
Love it. Speaking faster now? And how about the new rumor about a 24-70 f2.0 GM?? Greets from Berlin!
Great job on the video Chris! Thanks for making it.
As always, informative video Chris. Thank you for the consistent and practical videos 🤙
My pleasure!
Great video. man! I needed this very detailed comparison!
I will personally fight any person who VIEWS a Chris Brockhurst video but doesn’t SUB
Zach and I will fight each other if you don’t.
Gangsta Mode, all day, every day. 🎉
Rumors are that the Sony 24-70 f2.0 is coming!
par-focal is nice. extended lens barrel at 24mm is just......... like a cheap kit lens. thanks for the comparison!
The 16-35zf4 was the same.... didn't feel cheap, but it did feel counterintuitive
@@paulcollingridge8387 damn you´re right. I actually own that old zeiss 16-35. should´ve used it more. ^^
I prefer 50mm so the fact that 50mm is not the extended focal length is a lucky break... for me. I pre-ordered this lens and excited to get it.
Any updates?

@@CaptainRevs please post a video about your usage of that lens thanks
@@vincentsolon3216 not really my thing - there's so many videos on RUclips already for that lens.
If the 24mm was compacted and not extended on the 24-50 I probably would have moved from Canon to Sony. I want a small zoom.
I wish they would zoom the same way as all cine zooms . This is an advantage of Sigma . If Sony is going after folk used to cine zooms they should change , but stills folk might get pissed off ? Their power zooms ,you can change it in the camera menu.
Wait for the new 24-70 f2 😮 💰
Price will be 5000$
Or maybe future Sony 24-70mm f/2?
First
Third 🎉
My man
Get a Tamron instead.
Also an option
We have the 24-105 F4 and is much better and versatile.. for me, that lens is a big mistake..
Love the 24-205, it’s in need of an update though
@@chrisbrockhurst it will be released something better and more versatile than the current 24-105...
More like we are spoiled as Sony shooters. Once you shoot F2.8 and also can shoot F4 making it more versatile you won’t go back to F4 lenses. Overall a Win Win for Sony.
@@lewcehjitl3282 for small apertures we have lots of prime lenses, zoom is always about being versatile..
And now we will have the 24-70 f2 😂😂😂… another standard zoom… we have primes.. zoom is always about versatility… Sony 😵💫😵💫

hello, thanks for the video, what would you choose 20-70 f4 or 24-50 f2.8?
Answer...20mm reach? I'm just taking a guess btw.
Few others too

Why doesn’t anyone compare the Sony 24-50 to the sigma 24-70 mk ii? They both have the updated technology, they’re super close in price point

Which one I'd buy? Neither!
I pretty much stick to prime lenses and sliders
I don't own a single zoom, excepting the RX100v. There was no choice.
Thank you. This is the best and most complete comparison I have seen. I'm Subscribed and liked.
That's exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you!
Why are you suggesting people
Use in cam cropping?
Because it works very well
@@chrisbrockhurst do you get the full shot still in raw? If not, I don’t see why anyone would do this vs post crop. Thanks!
