I can relate. I currently own the following lens lineup (I’ve owned a few others that I’ve sold since): Sony 14mm f1.8 GM Sony 24mm f1.4 GM Sony 35mm f1.8 GM Sigma 85mm f1.4 DG DN Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM II Sony 70-200mm f2.8 GM II I mainly use either the 85mm and compliment it with the 24mm or 35mm for client work. But for personal trips and whatnot, I use the 14mm, 24-70, and 70-200. Those are the ones I brought to a recent trip to Sedona. My favorite are lenses are the 85mm and the 14mm, though. I really wish Sony can drop the 85mm GM II already, though. I’ll likely keep the Sigma, but even if I don’t, the 85mm is my bread and butter, and I’ve got to have the best of the best. 😄🤭
That’s great collection of lenses. Glad to hear that you can relate. Also, Sedona is a great place to shoot. I live in the Phoenix area, so I’ve been fortunate to go to Sedona often. Beautiful.
Agreed the 24-70 f2.8 GM II would be my first choice but that price ouch!!...so I went with the 20-70 f4 G. And love having the extra 4mm on the wide end. Allows me to leave my 16-35 at home many times.
I'm currently considering a 40 mm lens to be my first prime.. hoping that it would be a nice balance between 35 & 50 mm🤞 Either the Sony 40mm f/2.5 G or the Zeiss Batis 40mm f/2.
Fellow lens hoarder over here as well 🤣 Solid choices. Despite their shortcomings, I tend to prefer Sigma because of their more filmic "look". Sony lenses are just too sharp for my taste. I don't mind a little lens breathing. I've also recently discovered Gyroflow which works amazingly well as long as you turn all stabilization off.
@storybabble I'm enjoying your videos. Keep it up.
Thanks, will do! Appreciate the encouragement.

That sounds like a great option. I need to check that lens out. Thanks for the tip.

I’m sure that you can get great results with either of those lenses. Thanks for watching.

I can respect your choice. I’ll have to try Gyroflow. Sounds interesting. Thanks for sharing your experience.
