Merry Xmas Jason! Got myself the glorious Sigma 18-35 for my M50. Am loving the boost in quality of my photos (especially in low light) ! I dont feel the nagging need to upgrade to FF just yet anymore. (You almost got me pulling the trigger on the A7iii 😅) I’m looking at the Sigma 50-100 as my next lens
Hey Jason, can you do a review on the Sony ECM-B1M difference between analog and digital audio deferences. Cos I’m using an A7iii not the A7iv and don’t plan to upgrade as the high megapixel is too overkill for me.
I'm so hyped about this lens. I know the world lost its mind over the Tamron, but there was just so many compromises I never loved it. Yeah, for the price it was WAY better than the Sony GM, but other than that, I really didn't like using it that much. This fixes everything for me. All the pros of the GM, none of the cons of the Tamron, and not that insane high GM price. I fully expect that a LOT of people who recommended the Tamron will start recommending this. The Tamron is still a great lens, and if it's all you can afford then rock on, but this is just so much better overall
Awesome news Jason my audio mic input works now after resetting my camera. Apparently my MKE seinhiser mic was defective. Since it was defective it blew out the Mic input and it also did it on a new camera that I just bought a Sony FDR 700 camcorder.Let anyone know of this . Simple fix of just factory reset
I went to Yodobashi Camera in Japan in October...I almost fainted....and no tax. Actually, that entire building is a dream. So much stuff we cant get here in the states. Its like, Microcenter, BestBuy, B&H, Macys, and whatever else all in one store. Got Black rapid straps I didn't need, Lens hoods, Flashes..Headphones.
I’m so glad you got this lens, I’ve been waiting for you to try it out. Gerald, Chris and Vu have done a wonderful job at reviewing this lens and I was waiting for you before I finally make the decision. Definitely will be getting this lens when it’s available in February *cries in sigma* Unless you want to donate me your copy? ;)
Happy New Year, Jason. May you continue to be blessed & prosper in this New Year. And thank you for all you do to keep us well educated photographically. God Bless.....
Nice to see you Jason, and Vivienne was hilarious -she keeps you grounded but is also your enabler! At some point in the video I was distracted because it looked like you had piled on the pounds in Japan but I decided it was just the lens distortion for that segment - not too flattering! Looking forward to your continued adventures in 2020!
I have to agree I brought the 24-70mm F2.8 GM just 1 year ago and I've use it probable about half a dozen times. It's only for locations/shots that I'm not too familiar with and just want a versatile lens. These days I just mainly carry the 24 & 85mm GM lens with the A7RIII in my 10L peak design sling.
Jason - thank you for another great video. Question: You mention that you don't normally shoot with a lens like the 24-70. Can you tell me what are your "go to" Sony full frame lenses?
@@JasonVong all i ask is that when it happens to you please make a video of it. As someone who bought a Sony A7R3 because of your videos and your information I feel like Sony is letting down all the creators who push their products. This is a very big issue that has cost people lots of money and most of all has wrecked their footage.
Watching you hold the batis changing to the sigma, and knowing how slippy it is, i was like 'kung fu grip engage!' At least it has the rubber focus ring to hang on to. People complain about it but it does help. Have fun at CES.
Hello sir, I have a question that can we change A7III while recording a video ? Actually i don't have a camera so i can't test it and I'm thinking to buy it
Hi Jason! Is this lens good for event photography specifically?? Im gonna be taking pictures of a band and some gigs are at bars where the light is not the greatest. Would you suggest thins lens or a different one?
if you plan to buy lens in japan, you better buy parallel import goods in Hong Kong instead, you will find a big discount in Hong Kong and without any tax. The amount you saved may be even enough for you to buy a air ticket from Hong Kong to Japan.
It's true, in Hong kong I bought Sigma 30mm f1.4 for sony costs usd 250, in my Country (Indonesia) it costs around 450 usd, you can see the difference 😄
Jason, I’ll be interested to see what you think of the ECM-B1M. I’ve been using it now for the videos on my channel and I love the low noise floor and the convenience of the mic. No cables and is very compact both on the camera and for traveling.
Wonder how the new Sigma 24-70 will stack against Tamron 28-75. My Tamron 28-75, it's a fantastic piece of glass and I am not ready to trade any time soon.
This is exactly what I was waiting for and looking forward to your full review of the lens. Just a request - will you please test and comment on how good this lens would be for manual focusing for video. Excellent video.
Hi Jason, some say A7iii's new version 3.10 firmware deliberaly reduces autofocus functiaonilty of third-party lenses, especially the Tamron 28-75. Is this true?
I bought a used Sigma 35mm lens at Map Camera in Japan and it looks pretty much brand new and I also saved a ton of money. It cost half of what it would cost here in Canada (where I'm from)
love your reviews. i decided to get a Alpha a7iii and with the 35mm 1.4 from sigma. and this is going to be list on the list 👌👍 thank you for your videos
I got sucked into the yodabashi giant as well in Tokyo. I rather not say what I bought there cause my wife is still angry lol. BUT EVERYTHING I GOT WAS SUCH A GOOD DEAL!
Ughhh I can get the sony a6400 with the 18-135mm lense for 1050 bucks. I'm not a huge photographer, but love shots you can get. I'm going to live in cali in the next couple weeks and really want a camera. You guys' are probably buy it, but should I get it or take the 6100 instead.
I would sell the GM for more than you paid for the new Sigma. the Sigma is easier to balance on a gimbal for video. and from what I hear it also out resolves the GM on an A7r 4. and it also has an 11 blade aperture compared to the GM's 9. so people are saying it has smoother bokeh. I like that camera store, maybe I need to move to Japan
Hi Jason, cant you do a tour guide for Japan? Would like to go to there. Ok you are not a tour guide but lok from digitalrev back in the days did the same....
I would think that you would sell the more expensive lens (Sony 24-70) and keep the cheaper lens, since you don't use it as much anyway. Regardless, I REALLY like the new Sigma!!
I have the 85mm 1.8 on my A6500 and is the best lens by far on my body. Neither the Sigma 16 1.4 is sharp as the 85mm. Take into account is 130mm so is only for exteriors. Sigma 56mm is a good choice only if you don't have plans to go FF in near future.
Thanks all!! @@YariJaluff -- Do u have the sigma 56 too?? is the sony 85 sharper then it? The reason I am wondering about the 85 focal length is because I already have the 50 covered in kit lens
@@stantheman3674 I dont like the Kit, at 56mm Sigma Will be way better in bokeh and sharpeness, so if you are not planning an FF upgrade soon, Sigma 56 Is the way to go. If you think to get FF body Sony 85 is the way. I dont have the 56 but hace the 16mm and the Sony is sharper. I love the 128mm focal length!
I met Lukazs while I was in Tokyo, great guy and an excellent photographer. My gf have used some of his pics to do Tokyo based hyperrealistic drawings...
I am new to your channel and I like how you as a person present things. If there's one thing that bugs my eye, it's the wide open aperture shooting. it takes away too much of your surroundings.
Just what I need another 24-70 mm lens to keep my GM 24-70 and my 24-105 G and my 28-75 Tamron company.You spend more on lenses. than my wife spends on handbag.Did you get the new Sony A7S 4?

Jason Vong I got the Zeiss Batis 18mm f2.8 👍🏼
NICE! Through the deal zone on BH?
hey did you had to pay the taxes when you got return from japan to us?
I CALL DIBS ON THAT LENS WHEN YOU SELL IT!!!
I bought mine one yesterday. Probably the last one in Australia in 2019. As soon as I placed my order, it went to pre-order on the website....
I would totally buy your lens when you're done with it.
Only 835 g ? Have to say Bigma disappoint me this time...
sy1238 expecting it to be 1kg minimum
Thank you very much for buying me the lens.
If we get over a plague, please come to Japan again.
Hey Jason, can you do a review on the Sony ECM-B1M difference between analog and digital audio deferences. Cos I’m using an A7iii not the A7iv and don’t plan to upgrade as the high megapixel is too overkill for me.
Man dude great video as always! Can't wait to see you hit a millie bro! Keep killing it!
“Jason vong bought another lens in japan.......”
Me: Ahh shit, here we go again..
I was planning to get a car, until I saw this video.
2020 na. Drive na
This is the year! Swerte kuno ang 2020 hehehehe.
Love the customer service and the politeness of the store staff in Japan!
Cheers from Japan!

soo glad they didnt have the new wide lenses for sony when i was in japan during summer

Since it was defective it blew out the Mic input and it also did it on a new camera that I just bought a Sony FDR 700 camcorder.Let anyone know of this . Simple fix of just factory reset
Vs tamron 28-75mm?
If you rarely use the 24-70.... then what lens DO you use the most???
I went to Yodobashi Camera in Japan in October...I almost fainted....and no tax. Actually, that entire building is a dream. So much stuff we cant get here in the states. Its like, Microcenter, BestBuy, B&H, Macys, and whatever else all in one store.
Got Black rapid straps I didn't need, Lens hoods, Flashes..Headphones.
Thank you for the review Jason! Yodobashi is my favorite store everytime I go to Japan it is a tech/nerd paradise! 😁
Just subscribed to your channel, total fan of your work and appreciate how direct and honest you are as well as being entertaining. Keep it up!
welcome to the channel!
I'm so tempted to sell my Tamron and take the loss for this one. Some are saying it's 95% of the G Master and actually superior in a few areas
I’m so glad you got this lens, I’ve been waiting for you to try it out. Gerald, Chris and Vu have done a wonderful job at reviewing this lens and I was waiting for you before I finally make the decision.

Comparison between sigma 24-70 vs tamron 28 -75 , is a must , please do comparison video sir!
I hope they make a 70-200!
Their 14-24 and the 24-70 are so good (especially the price ahah)
Sigma is working on it now.
5:41 - Most satisfying part of the video.
3:25 why does it look like the guys glasses are upside down but they aren't lmao
omg i didnt even notice
@@JasonVong :D it looks cool
Thank you for praising my glasses.
Glasses with the good design I bought 15 years ago.
Unfortunately it has broken before half year.
Need Help, can you please know me which 30mm lens is batter for Sony A6500 , actual 30mm no crop.
Love from india ❤️
sorry if dumb but why not use the lens hood when you were shooting in the rain to reduce droplets on it?
I already have the tamron 28-75 so I decided to add the sony 24-105 instead of this
Nice to see you Jason, and Vivienne was hilarious -she keeps you grounded but is also your enabler! At some point in the video I was distracted because it looked like you had piled on the pounds in Japan but I decided it was just the lens distortion for that segment - not too flattering! Looking forward to your continued adventures in 2020!
oh i ate well in Japan alright! 😅😅😅 Time go to the gym. New Year's Resolution!
4:30 golden reaction.

Love ur videos & energy. Not only r u very informative, u bring great energy and clarity. You also get straight to the point. ++
That exact MAP Camera is where I got my GM24 F1.4🎉
And where i got my 24mm F1.8ZA

Jason - thank you for another great video. Question: You mention that you don't normally shoot with a lens like the 24-70. Can you tell me what are your "go to" Sony full frame lenses?
I love yodobashi, we dont have such a thing in Belgium.
Happy New Year to you both..another awesome video!! Thank you..
Another awesome video from Jason Vong!
But did you talk about the input jack that keeps breaking on all A7r3 series cameras?
I know a few people who have this problem but I haven't personally ran into it myself.
@@JasonVong all i ask is that when it happens to you please make a video of it. As someone who bought a Sony A7R3 because of your videos and your information I feel like Sony is letting down all the creators who push their products.

Love your channel Jason. Been watching you for a couple of years and love the content.
Very nice video Jason. This or 24-105 or prime lens maybe 40mm should I buy. Already have 24mm gm and 85mm Zeiss.
Watching you hold the batis changing to the sigma, and knowing how slippy it is, i was like 'kung fu grip engage!' At least it has the rubber focus ring to hang on to. People complain about it but it does help. Have fun at CES.
The camera addiction never ends 🙏🏻
I went to the EXACTLY same store of MAP Camera in Shinjuku in Oct. 2019 and I bought a 85mm 1.8, I love it!
What is the autofocus speed of the Sigma Lens image? Tamlon killer lens?
Can you, Jason or anyone tell me if I should get that Sigma or keep using my Canon 24-70 2.8L II with MC11? Not trying to spend GM glass money.
Hello sir,
I have a question that can we change A7III while recording a video ?
Actually i don't have a camera so i can't test it and I'm thinking to buy it
Hi Jason, do you think the new Sigma 24-70mm is at the same level as the Batis primes in terms of image quality and rendering ?
Hi Jason! Is this lens good for event photography specifically?? Im gonna be taking pictures of a band and some gigs are at bars where the light is not the greatest. Would you suggest thins lens or a different one?

Thanks for the video. Even though it's not exactly the same, but I wonder how big the differences are between the Sigma 24-70 and the sigma trio.
If you have the GM, would you trade it for the Sigma?
I have the 2470 Gm and i‘m happy with this Lens ....so i don‘t need it… but i bought the Sigma 14-24 2.8 🥰
Wonder how the new Sigma 24-70 will stack against Tamron 28-75. My Tamron 28-75, it's a fantastic piece of glass and I am not ready to trade any time soon.
Welp. Guess I'm signing up for B&H Payboo this month...Thanks a lot, Jason.

Hi Jason,
Where can you check sigma lenses price in Japan online? Im trying to save budget for next year trip 😂
Thanks in advance 🙏
Nah I stumbled onto this video because I'm a subscriber LOL. Just got this lens too! Can't wait to use it for the new year festivities.
i think if professor hines is batis professor you are sigma professor, Jason!!!
i admire your sigma love now i might get this lens
Hello, is this okay for vlogging? Indoor-selfie shots?
This is the vid I've been waiting on!!! Thank you!!!
haha!
@@JasonVong
Now I just want to hear your honest opinion of it.
Love mapcamara, purchased a used near mint Sony 85 1.4 GM for $1800 canadian, duty free!!
Hope you have a wonderful 2020. Would really love to see you comparing the Tamron 28-75 to the sigma. I am really on the fence between these two.
love your reviews. i decided to get a Alpha a7iii and with the 35mm 1.4 from sigma. and this is going to be list on the list 👌👍 thank you for your videos
I was in Japan too at the time! Heavily considered this lens but ended up buying the 135 GM!
I got sucked into the yodabashi giant as well in Tokyo. I rather not say what I bought there cause my wife is still angry lol. BUT EVERYTHING I GOT WAS SUCH A GOOD DEAL!
Spending the end of the year in Shinjuku, and now seriously thinking of using my Yodobashi points to help me buy this lens. lol
Can this lens be paired with Sony a6400?
Happy new year Jason :)
What lenses do you use the most?
Good video I just ordered my 24mm gmaster thanks to you
Ughhh I can get the sony a6400 with the 18-135mm lense for 1050 bucks. I'm not a huge photographer, but love shots you can get. I'm going to live in cali in the next couple weeks and really want a camera. You guys' are probably buy it, but should I get it or take the 6100 instead.
