I use the 24 - 105 for promotional style filming where I can zoom and reframe because of the stiff zoom, it has better handheld stabilisation and is more compact and has closer focus distance. I use the 28 - 135 for live theatre show style filming, smooth aperture and the zoom ring is always driven by a motor so all the zooms are ramped which means you can never mess up a zoom. The downside of that is that you can't do crash zooms. The minimum focus distance is bad but great for all live style filming jobs. The stabilisation is more sticky style so it's super steady when aimed at one point but not as floaty / flowing like the 24-105.
Just bought the 24 to 105 on your recommendation! You make great content with great energy. I’m excited to use my A7IV and my new lenses on my upcoming trip. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the amazing work!
You can also use a 95mm to 77mm step down ring and a 77mm variable ND filter and have no vignetting on the 28 - 135 even with the lens hood on if you choose (obviously with the hood on it's not easy to adjust the 77mm variable ND but just adding the note for anyone.)
Both great lenses for video, I definitely prefer the manual snappy zoom of the 24-105. There is just too much delay on zooming the 28-135 that it makes it slower to frame up new shots. Which if you are zooming in and out and reframing heaps in a day adds up to a lot of wasted time waiting on a slow zoom motor. Great for live events and corporate conferences though :)
24-105 is actually parfocal, or at least very likely. For this I just tested again and I can tell that's true. I personally think the biggest difference is the power zoom. If you need the power zoom, go 28-135. If you don't, 24-105 is actually almost better in every way (except for manual focus ring). One more thing, if 28-135 is considered for FS5 and FS7, then 24-105 is for FX6. The kit lens for FX6 is 24-105.
@Un1corn Sorry to say, the 24-105mm f4 is not parfocal in any way. I can say that with 100% certainty. To add to the confusion of the explanation the 28-135mm f4 PZ is also technically not "optically parfocal" either.... it just has programming wizardry in the lens that it knows the exact amount it's focus shifts by at any point of the zoom range, and it can do a parfocal correction on the fly itself (not with AF). So it works effectively as a parfocal lens, but only 'simulates' it, rather than having a parfocal optical design.
@@jamesandcamera thanks for clearing that up James! Makes sense because the zoom is power zoom so they can do firmware to make it seem parfocal. Power zoom certainly is the key factor here and I personally am not a fan hahaha

Hey Jason! Nice work with the video, I watching you for a long time now. Your videos are very informative and full of knowledge! Now, I have a question about 24-105 f4. It's gonna work for everyday private use? I mean like travel photography/video with my wife, maybe walks with the dogs, just run and gun lens for everything? I looking for glass for that type of photography. I wonder if f4 is enough for most of the situations and bokeh in portraits. Also I'm a event/weeding photographer, but for that case I use 35 f1.4 and 85 f1.8, so the sony 24-105 will be only for private use. What do you think? Will this lens will be good enough or maybe looking for something else like Tamron 28-75 G2?
Rent it (the 24-105) see if you like it. Pixel peepers don't like it. It (the design) is getting old, Sony could give it a refresh. I do own one, but am moving to smaller lighter lens (e.g., the newer 24-50 & 16-25).
Hi James, I have a problem with 24-105 and motor gimbal dji rsc2. The zoom lens is too discontinuous hard and motor gimbal not fluid for this. If a buy a 28 135, have a problem in photography mode? Have you a alternative for good video and photo with same focal length?
Great info here, that 24-105 looks extremely versatile. Do you think it better suits you than a 24-70 2.8 and a 70-200 2.8. ? Having one lens on run and gun , or like w kids , where they wouldn’t allow you to wait for the right focal length to switch In the moment.
F4 is really dark for interiors (if you love base iso or just a bit of iso like me). Its same like f2.8 can be a bit too dark for nighttime. But for outside its good. You have to answer yourself where you film the most
Yeah f4 is pretty slow but if you have a7iv or a7siii you have really great low light performing cameras. The OSS is a big winner for me when using my FX6
I don’t know what the hell im doing lmao I have the new Sony iv I need a new lens for picture/video. I make IG reels for my daughter competition she does jiujitsu so I need something to keep up. I need to shoot from 10-30 feet. Rarely 5ft any recommendations on lens? I want to shoot great pictures/ videos. The max I’ll pay for a lens is between $2,500-3,500

28-135 has some magic in its image..creamy & more cinematic

I’m surprised it keeps up if not beats the 28-135mm lens. 24-105 is a great choice
FYI: 95-95mm adapter ring is available for the mirage matte box. I am using it, working well with the 28-135.
yeeeeee
Do you mind sharing the link to this please? Would love to get one for my rig too.
Am I have the link too
can’t find it
I've had the 24-105 since it was released. My only issue is the jerkiness of the zoom when I use it for sports.
Yeah it isn’t as zoom as a powerzoom
You can also use a 95mm to 77mm step down ring and a 77mm variable ND filter and have no vignetting on the 28 - 135 even with the lens hood on if you choose (obviously with the hood on it's not easy to adjust the 77mm variable ND but just adding the note for anyone.)
Hey there! Absolutely none at any focal length!?
@@rafaeljimenez197 Correct because the lens is only 28mm on the wide end.
The video I was looking for. Thank you. Going to use the 28-135 on the Ronin 4d 8k when using the camera on sticks or handheld not using the gimbal.

Thanks James!! Yeah that delay got me too many times. Specially when I don’t have a backup lens
Great comparison Jason 👍🏻 I love my 28-135 mm f4 for my FX6 😍 really a great lens
Hey Jason , hows it going man, great stuff, where can we see the full fitness video with the 24-105 f4 lens?
Just brought the 24-105, stoked with it!

The 28-135 was way ahead of it's time. It pairs great with a fx3. It is a video lens. Not a photo lens like the 24-105
Certainly is good for certain use cases. I personally just love the 24-105
It's too big for FX3 and even FX6. A new PZ 24-105 is needed.

What I love about my 24-105 f4 it's it's focusing distance at 105mm.. it's around 38 cm 🤯🤯🤯 that's crazy

is Sony releasing a new 24105 this year?
24-105 f4 g this lens suitable this fx30 aps-c camera...?
For video purpose
Fascinating, i lust started looking for this lense
Such a good lens the 24-105
Did you go ahead and buy the FX three if so that’s awesome
Nah I didn’t. I don’t have a use for the FX3 because I have the FX6
Copy variation on the 24-105 is crazy. My corners are nowhere as bad as yours and dare I say near perfect.
Anybody know if theres a way of making a thumb rocker work with the 28-135 with an alpha camera? Specifically the a7 iv
I don’t know what the hell im doing lmao I have the new Sony iv I need a new lens for picture/video.

What’s the best video settings for Sony a6000 with 24-105 Sony lens? Pls do videos tutorials on it

I want the 28-135 mm or the 50 1.2, I can't decide
depends what you shoot. The 50mm F1.2 is incredible

You know too much about lenses lol Love your channel it makes me feel less dumb after learning from you.

Can I use focus puller on it ??
You can but it won’t work great

Merci 👍🏽
