      @TheBeardBringer 6 лет назад +3

      I regret buying a 70-300 tamron lens for my 80D. It was the cheapest one without stabilization, so now I'm stuck with both camera and zoom lens without stability. Super hard to film, even with a gimbal :)
      Love my 10-18mm and I use it all the time, as well as my nifty fifty. I have started using my 18-55 kit lens more and more tho, I kind of like it.

    Thank you so much for this. I just started my journey of owning my photography business. I bought a Nikon D7100 and for my first lens, I bought a 50mm 1.8. I am still learning about what I want for the next lens to buy and this video really helped. Looks like the 24-70 will be my next goal. Although I really liked the quote you said and I definitely post that around my desk to look at every day.

    If you are just starting out buy vintage film lenses and needed adaptors and you can have a huge focal range for a fraction of the cost! Not to mention old lenses have a nice look that new lenses dont have. Useful for filmmaking too! :)

    The 16-35mm is on top of my wish list for lenses, I hope I will get it soon

  • @sionglooi8170
    @sionglooi8170 5 лет назад +4

    The order in which I got my gear, working as a Geologist/Hobbyist Photographer:
    02-2018 - Sony a7RIII
    02-2018 - Sony 16-35mm GM - Most used/favourite lense, great for astrophotography too.
    05-2018 - Sony 70-200mm GM + Sony x1.4 converter - Great lense for outdoor or large area events, yeah awesome candid shots, photos from these were commented on Facebook the most.
    07-2018 - Sony 85mm 1.4 GM - Great in Low light environment especially when you can't/don't want to use a flash also the background separation is incredible, even vs my other GM lenses.
    12-2018 - Sony 24-70mm GM - Haven't used it that much yet, but only "just" got it.
    01-2019 - Sony 90mm 2.8 Macro - Least used lense so far, used it for photographing my rock/crystal collection, got it 2nd hand at a good price. Used focus stacking processing to get most of lense.
    02-2019 - Sony RX100 MkVA - Used it for work all the time, when I don't need carry the extra size or need the mega pixel.
    Next lenses will be probably 100-400mm GM &/or Sony 100mm 2.8 STF, but in no rush to get one. Thought about the 24mm GM, but got enough lenses which covers that focal range, but will get one if I do nightclub event photography.
    My Peak Design Everyday Sling 10L can fit: a7RIII; 16-35mm, 85mm and a Godox V860II-S Flash or another lense if I know I don't need a flash and the Vanguard VEO 2 264CB Carbon Fiber Tripod. It all fits if you pack it right. Have fitted the 70-200mm with body and 2 lense before, but was very tight fit with all my bubble wrap inside :)
    Has any RUclipsr/somebody gotten around to do a comparison Sony 16-35mm GM vs Sony 24mm GM pixel peeping, both are consider very sharp leases, but which is better? Next video idea!

    Awesome vid Chris! Recently upgraded my arsenal of lenses. So my friend who bought a new camera body to get into photography I've lent him the ones I no longer use. It may not be a f/1.4 but I did just get the 85mm f/1.8 for my birthday and it is A BEAST! Keep up the great work

    @CoreyAllen1 6 лет назад +1

    In the lens bag right now is the Sony 10-18 f4, Sony 55 f1.8, Sony 28-135PZ f4, Sony 100-400 with 1.4x teleconverter. I've been on the fence about adding the 24-70 f2.8 to replace some adapted Canon glass. This helps.

    Cool video Chris its reassuring to hear you talk about lending and hiring. I think a lot of people feel that they need to own every lens under the sun to get the job done but careful planning for your budget can really help you cater for any job. I find the sony 18-105mm f4 to be a super versatile lens on the crop sensor for a wide range of things. Its small and neat and pretty dam durable.

    It’s like you read my mind! I’ve had my eye on the 24-70 since you mentioned it in your MB shoot out on the frozen lake...
    Is there a time you would choose the 24-70 over the 16-35 as a first lense?

    If you're looking into the 24-70 2.8, I STRONGLY recommend the Tamron 25-78 2.8. It's nearly as sharp and significantly lighter and less expensive. I have the 16-35 2.8GM and the Tamron and I love the kit. Check it out!

    • @karankhosla3964
      @karankhosla3964 5 лет назад

      So i can either buy the exact kit you are recommending or get the 24-70 G-Master and the 16-35 F4
      Which one combination would you recommend?

    • @shehryarshaukat2393
      @shehryarshaukat2393 5 лет назад +1

      between those two combos, i would recommend the one he mentioned, the Tamron 28-75 plus the 16-35gm. honestly, even the tamron plus the 16-35 f4 would be fantastic kit.@@karankhosla3964

  • @AustinSchrock
    @AustinSchrock 5 лет назад

    Quick question, if I have a 50mm 1.4, how would that compare to a 24-70mm where you zoom into 50mm? Would the depth of field be much different, or pretty similar.

  • @donabedian
    @donabedian 5 лет назад

    Informative video thanks! This is the only lens I bought for my Sony a7III. It is really versatile indeed. You can turn it into a 105mm to get a bit closer to your subject by switching to APS-C mode (but then you get only 8MP). What would you recommend to buy next as a top priority? 70-200 ?

    Hey brother! I shoot with the 16-35 GM. The lens i am currently trying to get is the 85mm. Trying to decide between the GM 1.4 or the Sony/Zeiss 1.8. Not sure if the 0.4 aperture difference will make a huge deal or not. Need to also pick up the 90mm Macro as i do product reviews etc., so need a macro lens.

    Would you still recommend the 24-70mm f2.8 for an APS-C Canon 80d? Would you recommend it for video too?

  • @AronBagel
    @AronBagel 6 лет назад +1

    Chris, you should consider picking up the Sony 85mm f1.8! It's a lot more affordable than its 1.4 brother, but the bokeh difference is negligible and it's so much lighter and smaller! Picked it up recently and I'm in love!

  • @meanpicker
    @meanpicker 5 лет назад

    What do you think about using speedboosters with less expensive f4 lenses? I started with a 60D + 18-135mm, then a 50mm f1.4, then a 10-22mm f4, then I got an EOS M + EF-M adapter, then a 70-200mm f4 L, then a 5D2 + 24-105mm f4 and then a 24mm f4 TS-E. I also started with a low end Slik video tripod, then got a manfrotto video tripod with bowl and 501HDV fluid head, then a 055xprob with 3D photo head, then a CF version of the same video tripod + head, as well as a video monopod (older manfrotto before the feet were a thing). Also got a proaim spark slider and built a nice shoulder rig and a compact follow focus rig along the way...as well as got my drone license, a P3A and P4P. Much of it was bought used and it ALL was made to pay for itself many times over! 💪😎

  • @thomasrussell758

    Great topic! With as good as sensors are these days, do you think it’s necessary to get a 1.8 50 prime if you’re trying to replicate Brandon Woefel style dusk shots? Or can you make do with a 2.8 24-70?

  • @daniellele363

    Working with a Canon 80d, I have the 18-55mm & 55-250mm kit lenses. I just recently bought a 24mm pancake that I'm playing with. I also have a grip of vintage Pentax lenses (mix between eBay & thrifting) -- my favorite of those so far is a Rikenon 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 macro (this one is a push/pull zoom)

  • @TheNappyboy40
    @TheNappyboy40 4 года назад

    thanks for this chris! the three lenses im gna invest in next are the tamron 17-28, 28-75 and the sony 70-200 f4. this video may be quite a while ago, but since its my first time watching, it helps me know that i may be making the better decision now, especially since im into sports video & photo. next one after is likely to be an 85mm :)

    Hey Chris! What about those with crop sensor cameras?! Do you still recommend the 24-70 and the 16-35?

    Hi Chris! Would you still recommend the 24-70 and 16-35 for an aps-c body (sony a6500)? if not, what alternative lenses would you recommend for the a6500? :D I actually own a 10-18 f4 and a 50mm (tbh, I find the lens switching tedious, and the 50mm too limiting for far shots.) I was thinking about getting a 16mm f1.4 from sigma, and maybe switching the 10-18 for something else. What are your thoughts about this? By the way, I can see why the 24-70 and 16-35 are big investments, considering they're both at f2.8 so you still get a some bokkeh. Super awesome! Just not sure if there's an alternative for the aps-c line. :D Cheers! Super loved your video.

    Great video Chris, thank you.
    I have a question: Nowadays, would you bought the 24 70 GM over the tamron 28 75 f2.8? Mostly for profesional video works (weddings, promovids...).
    I have the a7III & zhiyun crane 2, also im planning to buy the 16 35GM for video, maybe with all the GM lenses you probably have more color correspondence but the price...

    Great video.. I am in the same boat, after visiting Horse Shoe bend in Arizona realized I need the 12-24. Purchased it back in March but haven’t used it yet.. I own the 24-105 and also own the 18mm batis. Love the size of the batis but miss the 16-35 range that I use to get with my 16-35 f4.
    Already selling my 12-24 but thinking also about selling my batis for the 16-35 2.8
    Do you think the 24-105 and 16-35 gm is a lot to travel/hike with? I would have good range and low light covered

  • @paulm8157

    Interesting. I like the Zeiss Batis 1.8/85mm. Are you averse to adapted manual vintage prime lenses - no mention in the vid? Also, “take your photography to the next level” I’ve heard many times. Just how many levels are there?😀

    Totally agree with your choices. I don’t like swapping lenses when out shooting so on model/portrait shoots I have a double camera strap with A7Rii and the 85mm f/1.4 G Master and the A7Riii with the 24-70 f/2.8 G Master. When traveling I was using the 24-240 f/3.5-6.3 but on a recent trip overseas I tried the A7Riii with the 28mm f/2.0 and the new RX10M4 24-600 f/2.4-4.0. Using the 28mm in all the low light situations. Just got back so still deciding if that was the best travel choices.

  • @mattleaabroad7403
    @mattleaabroad7403 6 лет назад

    Thanks for this Chris! Been itching to add a new lense to my kit. Currently using the Canon EOS M100 with the 15-45mm kit lense and then also have a nifty 50mm.
    I’m going to look at the 24-70mm that you recommended. Thanks again!

    I'm looking at a 15-30 2.8 tamron lens as its the best I can find for Nikon F-mount to my tastes. Do you think the loss of 5 mm between 30 and 35 is a big deal? My other two lenses in a 50mm prime and a 90mm macro lol. I personally actually really like the macro I have many uses for in in product shots and in nature photography of flowers and it serves well for portraits too. I've used it for other things too but I think it kills in those categories. Depends on what you shoot.

  • @NicolasLegros

    I use the 18-105 f/4 is my main lense, and I think that its a very versatile lense. You think its a good one? Because its not on tour lenses kit, and maybe if another is better I can think to change it to another one, but I’m very proud of this lense.

    Vintage primes are my thing. SMC takumars are my fav, 85 1.8 and 50 1.4 now. 35 F2 inbound from Japan so we’ll see how she compares.

    I have a Canon 6D Mark II with a 16-35mm f/4, 24-105mm f/4 and a Sigma 24mm f/1.4 (I also have the Nifty Fifty but don't use it as much). Pretty happy with my gear overall but may upgrade to the 24-70mm f/2.8 next year.

  • @PhilipLon7
    @PhilipLon7 6 лет назад +2

    If beginners shoot APS-C (like me and some others in this comments section) the lineup would be a bit different, right?
    For me, my Canon 17-55, 2.8 is a good allround lens and similar to the 24-70 on full frame.

    So big question, looking at upping my kit. Set on 24-70 f2.8, but then undecided. Do I just go one of 16-35mm or 70-200mm GM, or get f4 versions of both?

  • @614Lyfe

    Love the video! Thanks for the opinion. I have a question, I want to buy a SIGMA 18-35 / f 1.4 because my camera has crop sensor, but all the reviews I see about What Lens to buy recomend lenses in 2.8. I would like opinion and advice about if is good in 1.4 or if it would be better in 2.8, Thanks!

  • @abrown1297
    @abrown1297 6 лет назад

    These would all be full frame cameras correct? If we’re using a crop sensor (canon 1.6) should I be doing the math to get a get a lens that meets the focal lengths you mentioned after the crop?
    Thanks Chris, keep up the great work!

    The reason why people buy gear is sometimes just fun. I love buying als lenses and figure out what they are capable. That help me to become a better photographer. Because it is a cheap and easy way of finding out what I like and what works best for me and I get to know a lot of different ways of photography.
