    You never answered your own question: is it really worth the extra money? Of course the sony GM is the better lens, but is it much better that you would pay more than double?

      100% agree with you! However I know people who do street photography/handheld shooting at night that would use the wide angle at 2.8.

      In my experience wide aperture lenses perform much better than their f/4 cousins stopped down. You are still paying for a superior optical design, and not just extra F Stops.

    Realising this is a random question… But wanted to ask your thoughts on which of these lenses would be best for videography? Or even if you thought these lenses should be used at all for videography? I am looking into acquiring a 24-70 Sony lens and have not been sure whether to go for the f4 or the F2.8 g master…

    • @GeorgesCamerasTV
      @GeorgesCamerasTV  2 года назад +1

      Hi Matt not random at all, great question! It all depends on what’s within your budget and if you need a lens that’s a little bit faster or not. Both have excellent autofocus, and perform really well, but of course, the GM is f2.8 provides more flexibility regarding better performance in lowlight as well as a much shallower depth of field. Our staff personally prefers the Sony 24-70 GM!

  • @seattlegrrlie
    @seattlegrrlie 3 года назад +11

    I think the f4 just won simply because of size. If I want to do low light street, I can grab my 35mm or 55mm.

    I prefer the F4 as I use primes when I want sharper and faster glass. The F4 is a good enough "jack of all trades" that covers a wide range and is portable.
    My go to camera bag kit is the 40-70 zeiss, the F4 70-200 g and whatever prime I think I will be using the most (usually the 50mm f1.2 GM).

    Why would you use 3200 ISO 1/8000 shutter? I'm confused. Wouldn't 1/1000 be plenty sufficient for shots of buildings and people walking at 800 ISO for better image quality? You would use 1/8000 to freeze a flying bird or something really fast right? Someone help a noob.

    Not looking to use this for portraits... Just for all around shooting. I have a 24-70mm f/4 Vario-Sonnar and I have just purchased a Sony A7iii.
    I hope to use the Vario-Sonnar (at least for a while) on my new camera. In your opinion will I be terribly disappointed with the image quality?

    • @anoophcl
      @anoophcl 4 года назад

      Hi I am also the same situation, using 24-105 canon l lens and bought tamron 28-75 but not happy, dont know pics are not sharp. Now looking to buy zeiss 24-70 , cant afford gmaster. Whatsbyour take kindly reply thanks

    • @richardpcrowe
      @richardpcrowe 4 года назад

      I am wondering if your copy of the Tamron lens might be off focus a bit. The earlier copies had some focusing problems which, I believe, were remedied by a firmware update. The 24-70mm f/4 Vario-Sonnar does not have a reputation for sharpness either; especially away from the center of the image. My copy bears that out - especially on my APSC cameras.
      I am waiting for the arrival of the A7iii which I have recently purchased and I will test the lens out on that camera.
      The lens that I will test it against is the Sony 70-200mm f/4 G OSS at 70mm. In reality, I don't expect the Vario-Sonnar to be much competition against the 70-200mm G lens but, that will be a good baseline.
      I'd be very happy if the Vario-Sonnar is usable on the A7iii...

    • @anoophcl

      Richard Crowe yes i am thinking to buy zeiss because tamron is not fine. Also i have updated version of tamron and people say that use 2.8 or 4!for sharp inages and if inhave tonuse f4 then why spend money on tamron its better to buy ziess 24-70 and use f4 on that

    • @philippeberl897
      @philippeberl897 4 года назад +2

      I own the Zeiss and I am using it on my Sony A7III. I am not that impressed with the image quality, especially when it comes to low-light conditions, you need to crank the ISO up to 12800 to get a brighter image, with loads on noise. At the moment it does the job, but I will definitely sell it in the near future.

    • @PPYTAO
      @PPYTAO 3 года назад +1

      Whatever you prefer, but generally portraiture of any kind people will prefer shallower depth of field to isolate their subject. So you could say 2.8, but f4 would do great as well.

    You forgot the price. Yes the G master is better but a price off 1200 or 2100 euro two times more one a lens. For a 1000 euro you can bay a good prime lens 24, 35 or 50 mm. The better than the G master.

    never owned a lens with so much distortion as the zeiss F4, it's clearly an adv. strategy to put Carl Zeiss's name on that piece of garbage. really good built quiality but really really poor image quality. it distorts not only on the sides of the image but really near the middle, did a whole shoot with to models and when i looked at the material they had a Quagmire face going on. real bummer

      Cristián Escobedo Del Castillo Thanks. I would not buy the GM, too heavy and expensive. I have a Gimbal, but for free hand movie shots on the go, I need OSS. The Zeiss delivers 24 mm, is compact and portable, not expensive and delivers a decent quality incl. OSS. As an option I think the G 24-105 is very close to the GM with less size+weight, better zoom range and great quality. The main point for the GM and Tamron is the 2.8 and even better sharpness. But the Sony G and Zeiss are in my opinion already good enough...
