Hey great review and video work thank you so much :) But I have a question about the lenses, I would like to buy 24 and 35 for my new A7 IV and I'd like to make vacation videos which is kind of vlogging. I saw on other reviews about focus breathing problem, have you ever had any experience about this?
Thanks for the compliment! For vlogging with the A7 IV, the 24mm and 35mm lenses are solid choices. Focus breathing can vary by lens, but it’s something to keep in mind, especially for video work. If you're planning to use them for vlogging, you might want to test them out first or look for lenses specifically designed to minimise that issue. Let us know if you have any more questions!
@@WexPhotoVideo many thanks for replying :) I guess I'll go with Sigma 24-70 F2.8 Art 2nd generation to get more flexibility. I might add V-AFs after that. Thank you so much again :)
It’s generally manageable in most situations. Using the clear image zoom feature can help minimise the effect. It's worth experimenting to see if it meets your needs. Thanks for watching!
Because this is an adapter that fits onto the end of the VAFs, it will work just fine with autofocus. FYI: In terms of native anamorphic glass, currently, the only company offering autofocus anamorphic lenses is Blazar with their Apex 1.33x Autofocus Anamorphic Lenses. Other anamorphic adapters, like the Samyang, typically require manual focus.
Unrelated, I wonder at what point native and 1st party got merged in everyone's mind. To me a native lens is a lens that fits natively with no adaption, and Sony lenses would be 1st party while say sigma lenses would be 3rd party. But it seems these days native seems to have become first party.
Hey! I also generally think of "native" lenses as those that fit the camera mount without any adapters, regardless of the manufacturer, and "First-party" lenses made by the same brand as the camera, like Sony lenses for Sony cameras. I think it depends on the person or brand.

I love the look of these lenses
Fantastic overview of the V-AF lenses George! Some lovely shots in this piece. KHJ
Thanks, guys - we had a blast reviewing them
These lenses offer a myriad of options
They sure do!

How bad is the vignetting/image circle on the 24mm? Perhaps clear image zoom could get rid of it.

informative review thanks Wex
Always a pleasure!
Can you use the anamorphic with autofocus?

no, this is a MF Anamorphic adapter
Nice ! Cheers for the review. I love they’re all the same weight .. this’ll be awesome with the a7siii
Definitely!
