No thank you I do not like 50mm lenses, 45mm and shorter are ok, 55mm and longer are ok. Back in the 70´80´and 90´a 50mm was only a cheap kit lens that was parked back down in a dark corner and never used, I do not see all the modern fuss about the 50mm lens, stop it. But if you can get your hand on a Voigtländer Macro Apo-Lanthar 65mm 2.0 it will be very awsome :D
I bought the Sony A7III in 2019 with the 24-105 G F/4.0 lens. After a year of using that I was really noticing that most of my shots where at 24 mm or 105mm. I sold the lens and bought the 24 mm Gmaster F/1.4 and the 85mm F/1.8 from Sony. Best decision ever but to be honest, I hardly put the 85mm on. Once you get used to the 24mm on a Full Frame camera it becomes a second nature to take a closer step for portraits. Foodshots with the creamy Bokeh are amazing aswell :D. Ooh and BTW, your videos are amzing, keep them up! You are my GO to channel why I decided to go with Sony.
Had 7 lenses and when I fell in love with 24mm, I got the collection down to 3. 24mm 1.4 GM, Sigma 24-70 art, Somy 85mm 1.8. Less choices has given me so much more freedom
Good one! When I first tried a 24mm my reaction was, whoa, everything is so far away. But it only took a minute, and it has become my favorite lens for everything. With that one and a 50mm or slightly longer, I'm all set!
You inspired me to buy a 24/1.4G and yep, it's a great lens. I really like its versatility and uniqueness. We all fed up with standart portraits on 85-135 mm lenses with completely blurred backgrounds. 24 mill gives a bit different portraits - shallow DOF and wide angle in one frame look different and eyes-capturing, we aren't used to this frames coz it's not standart. The background is blurred but due to a wide angle and bigger DOF (in contrast with 50, 85 and so on) you can show there's the subject at the moment and simultaneously isolate it from background. Oh, i really found my all-time-favored lens now!
The 24mm GM did pair up very nicely with my both 50mm f1.4/55mm f1.8 for cosplay events. As the 24mm did allow some nice wide shoots and the 55mm did a solid job for portraits. I also paired those 2 for Italy. 24mm handled food. 50mm did a fair number of photos and portraits there also.
I'm gonna try my 24 1.8 prime for indoor for a while. I had my 35 1.8 at a gig a few days ago, it didn't do well, I had to be too far away from the subject to get the whole person in. My 16-70 F4 did really well on my A7lll at 16mm.
You have such FANTASTIC videos. You make me want to escape my desk, grab my Nikon, and GET OUT THERE! Thanks for fanning our flames for the love of photography.
Love this video. Killer travel shots too. I’m getting the a7c and have been debating what lens to get. I usually shoot wide or tight, very rare I’m in between. So I think this vid just helped me decide what first lens to get. I’d love to see a similar video on longer focal lengths.
I recently upgraded from a 24mm f/2.8 to the Sigma 24mm f/1.4 dg dn, and it's a fantastic lens. And when you mount it on an APS-C body, it shoots like a 36mm f/2.1, so I've got the 35mm look, when I want it.
@@mrwashur1991 Conceded that the cropped 24mm is not a headshot lens. I have other lenses for that. But for landscape/cityscape photography, it's fine. And for landscape, extra compression may not necessarily be beneficial. A 24mm will generally have better DOF than a 35mm, which for landscape work, is usually better. Finally, the APS-C body in my kit lets me get effectively 6 lenses out of 3. It's like having a teleconverter that works with ANY lens, not just teles. I carry an 85mm f/1.8, a 45mm f/1.8, and the 24mm f/1.4, which, with the two bodies will easialy fit in a 12"x8"x8" shoulder bag, with room for spare batteries and other accessories. I'm covered for 24, 36, 45, 67.5, 85, and 127.5mm. Trying to match that with 6 separate lenses would require a substantial backpack, would be significantly more expensive, and be a pain to carry around.
So what other benefits besides a lower aperture is there to a single zoom lens like FE 24mm F1.4 GM and FE 35 mm F1.4 GM vs the FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM? This one lens, I guess in theory, can do both in one lens, right? Clearly I am missing something and I am just really curious. I love the video, I have really learned a lot thanks to you and all your videos! Keep up the great work!
Such a great video. This is exactly why I subscribed such a long time ago. Love your videos on the 85mm just like this one on the 24mm. Hope there will be other focal lengths as well. Keep it up, Jason!
Don't know how much more of these i can make! Otherwise every lens is a lens i can HIGHLY recommend 😂 But i will dive deeper in a series on how to utilize each focal length
I love shooting at 24mm on my 16-36GM, I can't justify the price of a prime right now, but definitely something I'll be thinking about down the road. Have a few other things I want yet, and some more saving to do again.
Hi Jason, such a great video. So helpful in our quest to find the perfect vlogging camera. What size lens would you suggest is best for vlogging? We know you said here 24mm isn't too bad. We are looking for the best for wide angle. I may have to save up more money between the camera itself and a lens $$$$$....LOL. But seeing your videos and picture taking, I know we want to go with a Sony this time. I think we also need a gimble for stability when vlogging. Our channel is little subscriber wise, but I still want our videos to be great quality, and right now our Canon just isnt cutting it wide angle wise and it's pretty poor quality in the dark on rides. I aspire to be the pro that you are.....hee hee. Of course my mom thinks I do pretty good.......but she has to say that!
You are really convincing me to get the 24 mm prime. I have a 35 mm f2.8 so I'm still a bit on the fence, but I definitely can't vlog with it and I would like something versatile for when I finally get to travel again! :) Thanks for sharing your opinion- it means a lot to us!
When you take a big landscape pic like the ones in Japan and the one at the boardwalk in LA what focus area do you use? Wide? To get everything in focus like that
Hey Jason, been following your channel for a wild and learning from you. I just got my first good camera fresh from the store lol, and with the camera I got 3 prime lenses, 18mm f1.8, 35mm f1.8, 85mm f1.8, the idea was 18 for landscape, 35 for everyday shooting and 85mm for landscape and portrait. The problem is that I am feeling like it is missing something on my line up, something that I can take with me for some wildlife photography and everything else lol. Like a really good zoom lens that can cover a good amount of focal length. Wold love to have some input from you, keep up the amazing work brother
iPhone is like 26mm though how come it doesn’t look distorted? Is it being processed in real time or something? I’m trying to get a similar field of view as my iPhone 13 Pro
I been thinking about this lens for automotive photography. What do u think about it in that field?? From stills to rollers. I been using sigma 35 1.4 with my Sony a7iii. And also have the nifty fifty
I got 24 mm Gmaster lens a couple of weeks ago... LOVE IT.. until i got the highly talked about 85 mm Sigma DG DN this week... wow... i think 85mm is my new fave. Havent tried a 50mm yet tho... 100-400 zoom next on my list
Jason Vong what lens would you recommend next I have the A6100 and it came with 16-50mm and E 55-210mm I’m new to photography but want another option for a lens?
Hello.. Thanks for this great video! I'm new to the camera world. I just bought a Sony A7III & now it's time to get a Gmaster lens. Question: I would like to film myself up close playing the electric guitar in low light. Would the 24mm GMaster F1.4 be better so that I can get the whole guitar in the shot? Thank you so much!
Loving your Videos. It's always a nice flow and vide. Hey Jason, is it possible to make a review about the new Samyang 24mm f1.8? Would love to hear ur opinions on that lense.
I'd love to know how you pack for an international trip...like your current one, where you're away from home for weeks on end! How do you combat "bring-everything!" syndrome?
Quick question.. I've just got into videography, and going to upgrade my camera to a A7c inc a tamron 28-75mm but which other lens (budget) would you recommend for night street photography?? Grtz Tony
@@JasonVong yeah but it’s easing in a couple of weeks. First opening back up essential shops, then pub beer gardens, then hopefully all back to normal end of June 😷
Hey man. Great video. So I already own all of the other primes in this line up. But I haven’t bought this one yet, as I normally shoot video at 50fps. I obviously get an aps-c crop on that, so is it still worth buying with that in mind? Would be interested in your thoughts
Awesome video! I have a full frame camera that allows me to set it to APS-C crop mode. With a 24 mm lens I could potentially cover around a 35 mm viewpoint in crop mode as well - does anyone do this and if so, is it a bad idea? Thanks!
How do you feel about shooting with this lenses with a Sony A7siii Thinking about picking up this combo but hopping the images are not too bad. Won't post anything higher than Instagram quality and maybe simple web pages. Not being being blown up
Thinking I'm gonna talk about the 50mm next, what you guys think? 😃
😂😂😂😂😂 why & How nxt video
How about primes vs zoom quality comparison?
yes do the 50mm, something to watch while impatiently waiting for that 1.2 GM to ship!!! 😬
yes!
No thank you I do not like 50mm lenses, 45mm and shorter are ok, 55mm and longer are ok.

The 24 G Master is my favorite lens so far. Perfect for video and great for dynamic portraits.
I want to get one

Amen to that!
Exact same setup
@@22s22a so happy I made that decision, hope it is working well for you too
DUDE I HAVE THE EXACT SAME SETUP!
I love choices. The trick is though to bring only 3 lenses with you
Good one! When I first tried a 24mm my reaction was, whoa, everything is so far away. But it only took a minute, and it has become my favorite lens for everything. With that one and a 50mm or slightly longer, I'm all set!
The comparison between the 24, 35 and 50 was exactly what I needed to see!
I swear Jason whenever I watch your 24mm videos it makes me fall in love with my f1.4 gm again!

Agree with you and 24GM is my most favorite lens so far.

I've got 24mm samyang and that's superrb, silent , great focus , light, and love it so far.
You always provide such a high quality content! Showing that many pictures is so helpful, thanks!
I always have a tough time explaining things so having ample amount of photos to supplement my talking points really helps! Glad you think so too! 😁
I'm gonna try my 24 1.8 prime for indoor for a while. I had my 35 1.8 at a gig a few days ago, it didn't do well, I had to be too far away from the subject to get the whole person in. My 16-70 F4 did really well on my A7lll at 16mm.
I just ordered a 24mm f/1.4 GM yesterday because of your video about it! Should be coming in tomorrow!
Enjoy it!!
I'm so excited! I'm just getting into photography when my sister gave me her old camera. I just purchased a 24mm lense and I'm so keen to try it out
Very good video. Im totally hesitating between the 24 1.4, a 35mm or a 24-70 (already have a 20mm 1.8) tell me what to buy !!😂
Just got a 16 for my apsc Fuji, thanks for so many great examples!
The 24mm GM is the only lens I have for the FX3.
🔥🔥🔥
Is there any noticeable difference between the 24mm 2.8 prime vs the 24-70mm 2.8 zoom? Given they both open up at 2.8?
You have such FANTASTIC videos. You make me want to escape my desk, grab my Nikon, and GET OUT THERE! Thanks for fanning our flames for the love of photography.
Awesome! I’m happy to hear that! Get out there and create something you love! 😎
@jasonVong the GM or the Zeiss 25mm f/2.0 Batis ?? Mahalo For any advice
Love this video. Killer travel shots too. I’m getting the a7c and have been debating what lens to get. I usually shoot wide or tight, very rare I’m in between. So I think this vid just helped me decide what first lens to get. I’d love to see a similar video on longer focal lengths.
And this is why the Sigma 16mm is so awesome for APS-C. Great video as always.
Got the 24 f1.4....soooo nice,great close focus.A review on 50mm would be helpful.😃👍🏻
Got my 24mm 1.4 GM and 85mm 1.8 and I'm so happy with this combo. Having sooo much fun!
Hey buying both today, what ND filter do you use to shoot 1.4 and 1.8 during bright days?
I recently upgraded from a 24mm f/2.8 to the Sigma 24mm f/1.4 dg dn, and it's a fantastic lens. And when you mount it on an APS-C body, it shoots like a 36mm f/2.1, so I've got the 35mm look, when I want it.
No you don’t lol. You have the compression and distortion of a 24mm and fov of a 36mm. Cropping in does not make a lens longer..
@@mrwashur1991 Conceded that the cropped 24mm is not a headshot lens. I have other lenses for that. But for landscape/cityscape photography, it's fine. And for landscape, extra compression may not necessarily be beneficial. A 24mm will generally have better DOF than a 35mm, which for landscape work, is usually better.

Trying to match that with 6 separate lenses would require a substantial backpack, would be significantly more expensive, and be a pain to carry around.
@JasonVong do you recommend the Samyang 24 1.8 or sony g 24 2.8 thanks for your reply! 🙏
I like GM 24mm f1.4. It’s wide, good in Low light, sharp and crispy
My list of gear to buy in order: a7SIII, 24mm GM, DJI RS2, and then 85mm GM.
You’ll be better off getting 85mm 1.8. Better value compared to 1.4
It’s something about taking an interest in photography that makes watching videos like these a lot more entertaining and relaxing at the same time :))
Had mine for over a year now and it's still my favorite.
You can tell Jason used his quarantine time really well. Thoroughly enjoyed this!!
I really like these focal length comparisons, for myself a beginner Thank you!
Where is that place at 1:35 ?
Quality, Presentation and script, Well done, Jason! I'm a Nikon Shooter but enjoy your videos, they're so good.
“SLURPIN ON SOME GOOD NOODS!” If this isn’t on a shirt soon I riot!
😂😂😂
Still deciding between a 20mm and the 24mm, is the focal length difference negligible enough?
So what other benefits besides a lower aperture is there to a single zoom lens like FE 24mm F1.4 GM and FE 35 mm F1.4 GM vs the FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM? This one lens, I guess in theory, can do both in one lens, right? Clearly I am missing something and I am just really curious. I love the video, I have really learned a lot thanks to you and all your videos! Keep up the great work!
I love to use my 24mm f/2 in a 24/50/105mm three-lens combo.
However, my personal favorite three-lens combo is a 21/35/90mm combo.
Such a great video. This is exactly why I subscribed such a long time ago. Love your videos on the 85mm just like this one on the 24mm. Hope there will be other focal lengths as well. Keep it up, Jason!
Don't know how much more of these i can make! Otherwise every lens is a lens i can HIGHLY recommend 😂 But i will dive deeper in a series on how to utilize each focal length
@@JasonVong Sounds good! Really excited for the upcoming videos. The quality of your videos increases like mad. Has to be a lot of work.
I went with a wider combo: 20mm1.8 & 55mm1.8
I would love to see a comparison between the 24mm and the 20mm 🙏🙏
I was just thinking the same thing
I love shooting at 24mm on my 16-36GM, I can't justify the price of a prime right now, but definitely something I'll be thinking about down the road. Have a few other things I want yet, and some more saving to do again.

Watching this makes me convinced and feel greatfull that I choose 24mm over 85mm. 😁 I'm just short in budget.
But honestly loving it's versatility 😊
mutiny. 85mm is the ONLY way of life!
How about the 20mm vs 24? Say for travel landscape and architecture. Thanks
I have the 20mm and 90mm. I love the 20mm cause of how close you can get to the subject( Toy photographer)
close focusing on the 20mm is insane!!
@@JasonVong yeah it was your review that made me want to buy it. such a good lens.
Would you recommend the sigma 24-70mm as a starter lense for an a7riv or get the this 24mm and later the 80mm?
Just picked up a sony 24mm 1.4 GM i love it ill never get rid of it’
You are really convincing me to get the 24 mm prime. I have a 35 mm f2.8 so I'm still a bit on the fence, but I definitely can't vlog with it and I would like something versatile for when I finally get to travel again! :) Thanks for sharing your opinion- it means a lot to us!
This is the video I needed to remind me why I got the 24mm GM.
When you take a big landscape pic like the ones in Japan and the one at the boardwalk in LA what focus area do you use? Wide? To get everything in focus like that
Would you have the same feelings about the 20mm f/1.8 it is that too wide?
I have a 50Mm Gm 1.4 . Been debating over a 24 and 14mm 😭 idk if the 14 will be tooooo wide 😂

Great content! If you could only have one or two primes, which ones 24mm, 35mm, 50mm or 85mm? For travel or street or night time?
I been thinking about this lens for automotive photography. What do u think about it in that field?? From stills to rollers. I been using sigma 35 1.4 with my Sony a7iii. And also have the nifty fifty
Is it good for close up product shots for video?

One of Galen Rowell's favorite lenses.
Jason Vong what lens would you recommend next I have the A6100 and it came with 16-50mm and E 55-210mm I’m new to photography but want another option for a lens?
What’s better for portraits, a7c with 85mm or 24 mm
Or a6600 with an overall best lens ?
I got a Zeiss 24mm/1.8 for $400 and loving it as my first lens ☺️
Jason, if you’ve still got the 24mm and 14mm GM please compare them. 🙏

Great stuff as always Jason. I love the 24mm look as well.
What camera you're using mate?
Looking at picking up the 24mm. Do you find yourself shooting with anything wider very often?
unless I'm doing gimbal video stuff, I'm likely on a 24mm for photos
Jason thanks for the content, I just got a a7siii and I bought an 85 1.8 and was wondering what I could pair with it. I’m going for the 1.4 XD.
24+85 you know how much i love that combo!
Newbie here. What lens do you use to record yourself in this video? And aren't you too close and getting too much distortion on your face?
My favourite combo there: the 24mm GM & 85mm Batis!
Why would i use 24mm instead of 17-28mm f/2.8 tamron/ 16-35 f/4 sony zeiss or 16-35mm f/2.8 sony ?
Hmm, what about the even smaller Sigma 24mm F3.5? Is F3.5 still ok for low light / night photography?
this is why i love me a 24 and 85 lens combi.
Love your colors! Which preset do you use for editing photos?
Loving your Videos. It's always a nice flow and vide. Hey Jason, is it possible to make a review about the new Samyang 24mm f1.8? Would love to hear ur opinions on that lense.

Thank you for this... i believe now you cant go wrong with vong...
jason, your opinion on the zeiss batis 25mm and gmaster 24mm. i had the 85mm batis. i currently have the 135 batis and 24 gmaster
What camera are you using
I use my 24mm GM for so much of my work. I love that lens!
I’ve been trying to justify my 24GM purchase as I already own a super sharp copy of Sony 28f2. This vid helped Mr Vong 🤙 cheers from UK
are you guys still under lockdown?
@@JasonVong yeah but it’s easing in a couple of weeks. First opening back up essential shops, then pub beer gardens, then hopefully all back to normal end of June 😷
I’m trying to decide between the 28mm f2 and the 24mm 1.4 gm. Any thoughts now that you own both, Chris?
@3:46 you can like videos with the Apple TV 4th gen and up. I got you covered bro!
Say whaaaa?! I’m gonna check this out
Sigma 16mm and 56mm for my a6600. Perfect.
I enjoy this. I have a great 24mm lens but struggle to get the most out of it. It’s not the lens - it’s me, for sure.
I want to know is this lent is useful to Sony A7iii my friend
Hey man. Great video. So I already own all of the other primes in this line up. But I haven’t bought this one yet, as I normally shoot video at 50fps. I obviously get an aps-c crop on that, so is it still worth buying with that in mind? Would be interested in your thoughts
Wow! Amazing portrait with the 25mm at 1:29.
0:47 I recognize her from auxout 😆 2:26 woot?! You stopped by Korea huh?
Awesome video! I have a full frame camera that allows me to set it to APS-C crop mode. With a 24 mm lens I could potentially cover around a 35 mm viewpoint in crop mode as well - does anyone do this and if so, is it a bad idea? Thanks!
I have that lens. Replaced my 35mm with that😂i had regrets but it made me love it.
I also bought the batis 85 cause you and prof haha
I thought I love the 35mm but the more I shoot with the 24mm, it went from "Love" to "Like" the 35mm. lol
@@JasonVong I some times use the Sony 24mm 1.4 GM on my Sony A7RIV in crop mode as a 35mm with 26 megapixel, many times good enough :D
The 24mm GM is always faithful ;)
I'm thinking about it ... would you sell the Sony GM 24-70 2.8 to get this SONY GM 24 MM 1.4?
What is your choice between 20mm F1.8G vs 24mm F1.4GM?
How do you feel about shooting with this lenses with a Sony A7siii
Thinking about picking up this combo but hopping the images are not too bad. Won't post anything higher than Instagram quality and maybe simple web pages. Not being being blown up
it will be fine! in fact a handful of photos in this video were off the a7s III particularly the LA night scape ones
