    This was really helpful! I just purchases the a7 III and I’ve been researching the various zoom lenses quite a bit. The explanations and comparisons made here really helped me. Moving away from my original choice of FE 24-70mm Zeiss and getting the FE 24-105mm G.

  • @fantomfoto
    @fantomfoto 6 лет назад +42

    Some good info here although I must say that with todays bodies an f/4 aperture really isn't that big of a setback anymore. 5-10 years ago losing a stop of light would have been a huge deal but now it's very easy to make that up with IBIS (slower shutter speed) or higher ISO that still produces incredible images. Bokeh would certainly be better at f/2.8 but if someone wants great bokeh they should be looking into primes.

  • @jyfreeman9210
    @jyfreeman9210 6 лет назад

    Thank you Danny. Excellent choice of a review topic. It’s timely and very useful. Well done, too. I placed my order for the Sony 24-105mm after noodling all your good info. I use primes, Batis 25 f/2 and Sony’s 50 f/1.8 & 85f/1.8, for lowlight and bokeh. Tamron’s size and f/2.8 are indeed compelling reasons to own it as well.

  • @charmerci
    @charmerci 2 года назад +3

    I agree! For the super budget conscious, the kit Sony 24-70mm is a wonderful lens. I did get the Sony Zeiss 24-70 f4 and though it was a bit better, it wasn't worth the extra cost. I then went through a number of prime Rokinons until I got the Sony 24-105mm. I love it! Better color rendition and so much sharper than the other lenses I had bought.

  • @6gwilliams
    @6gwilliams 6 лет назад

  • @FrenchieFries
    @FrenchieFries 5 лет назад +5

    i just got the 24-70mm gmaster and i took a few test shots. The corners seem to be a bit weak at 24 and 70 but at 35mm it was sharp. The center is sharp though. So was that blur on your shots the center? Or at the corners?

  • @devilmaycry383
    @devilmaycry383 6 лет назад +15

    I got the kit lens and the 24-105mm which i am impressed with it's sharpness and overall quality. My next lens will either be the 90mm Macro or the 85mm 1.8. The 24-70 GM is out of my reach for now as I have other priorities for now.
    Great guide 👍

    • @HolyWater101
      @HolyWater101 6 лет назад

      StormRider2 you will love the 90mm macro. It is razor sharp. People rave about the 55 being sharp the 90 put resolves it. I have shit probably 10k portrait pictures with it! Also actual micro work it works great too!

    • @Lastknight0
      @Lastknight0 6 лет назад +3

      The 85 1.8 is my favorite lens currently. Can't go wrong with it!

    • @MeAMuse
      @MeAMuse 6 лет назад

      I can second the 90mm Macro as his next lens. It will depend on what he shoots, but it's amazing for macro, and produces super sharp portraits. The choice will be based on whether you value flexibility and sharpness over bokeh and low light performance.

    • @insomniacs0
      @insomniacs0 5 лет назад +1

      How do you find 24-105? It's f/4 isn't it? I've been considering giving it a shot as it's much more affordable than 24-70 f/2.8 which is twice as much.... How sharp is it? Do you think you can get away without extra f-stop?

    • @MeAMuse
      @MeAMuse 5 лет назад

      Kamil Glabik only you can decide whether you can get away without the extra stop. It all depends on what you shoot. As far as I have heard it’s a pretty sharp lens. Not used it personally tho.

    OMG I didn't get an alert for this posting! This was a great buying guide to help me to understand what I "need" vs what "I want". Thanks buddy, keeping my 24-105 and maybe add on the 12-24 f4 or get a 16-35 in f4 or f2.8.

    • @hongzewu5435
      @hongzewu5435 6 лет назад +3

    • @IMDABROWN
      @IMDABROWN 6 лет назад

      Hongze Wu I have used my 24-105 to shoot basketball and it nails it with the autofocus. Tracks really well, the only issues are when there’s a fast break and I plan ahead and it has to find what to put in focus. This is shooting 4K 30fps f8 and focus is set to wide.

    • @framefilmstudio

      thanks, what do you mean by "fast break and I plan ahead"" :D

    • @IMDABROWN
      @IMDABROWN 6 лет назад +1

      Fast break is the term for basketball when the player with the ball is ahead of everyone at a fast pace. Think of a runner in a sprint and trying to track them.

    Thanks for your help! I ended up buying the 24-105. It is a killer all-around lens for a first buy. Since i upgraded from a crop-body, the depth of field is very similar to a 2.8 on a crop body.

    • @dangernba

  • @crisjansonpiers

    Fantastic review, clear precise and the best thing is it has made me sit back and reconsider a purchase I was going to make today! (That being the Sony 24-105mm 3.5-5.6 OSS ) I will perform a few more tests with what I have before I rush out and buy. I have the 24-70mm Sony kit lens for my Sony A7iii and a Nikon 14-24mm f2.8, the Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 and a adapter which allows most of the modes including Autofocus and the main features. The two Nikon lenses do struggle in low light with the adapter to focus, in that they sometimes search and I miss valuable images but other than that they are quick and VERY sharp. Thanks again!!!! ;-)

  • @KenanConvey
    @KenanConvey 6 лет назад +3

    I shoot w the 24-70 GM on my a7Sii and it’s a work horse! I’ve shot several concerts, filmed several interviews both using it as 30mm for A-cam and 70mm for B-cam, as well as a lot of event b-roll (paired on zhiyun crane v2 it maxes out the cranes weight). Save up enough to buy the GM you won’t need another lens for a while

    • @livinit20
      @livinit20 6 лет назад

      Kenan Convey I’ve been looking up this lens the last couple days... I have been starting to do some weddings and was tired of switching lenses back and forth.. Would you recommend this lens...

    • @KenanConvey
      @KenanConvey 6 лет назад

      Dvchavero I would! I’ve only shot one wedding on it but I use it for live events all the time. That medium 24-70 focal length is perfect for run and gun shooting where you don’t have time to swap lenses. And it’s just as sharp as my 28mm f/1.8.

    • @livinit20
      @livinit20 6 лет назад

      Kenan Convey Awesome. And thank you for the quick feed back!!

    Put the variable aperture lens at f5.6 and you get fixed exposure through the whole range.

    I am fortunate that I have not had any focusing issues with Tamron 28-70mm f2.8. I have the Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 Art lens which I have adapted to my a7rii. The weight makes the camera very front heavy. Great video!

    • @schatzor
      @schatzor 6 лет назад +1

      I had the Tamron on my a7rii as well but it ended up with the Canon 24-70 2.8 II, also a great second value.
      And now I’m on the a7iii and works perfect.

    • @bnguyen112
      @bnguyen112 6 лет назад

      Mikael Schatz did you return the lens? I'm going to use it for a another photo shoot and see if it works. My last session made me guess if it was in focus. The color saturation was a bit too much and the constant uncertainty of it grabbing focus made it frustrating. I know I can fix the saturation in post but being able to present sooc would be nice.
      I'll be sending the lens back if this upcoming session doesn't give me the results I'm hoping for.

    • @schatzor
      @schatzor 6 лет назад +1

      Bao Nguyen ofc man, these things a ridiculously expensive!
      I don’t know if I did the right choice but so far I’m satisfied , it’s more expensive but after all, it’s Canon.
      Another thing for me was that the Tamron has Vc and that’s probably why the weight is about 100g more then the Canon.
      Those grams are important for me when I put it on the gimbal.
      I had it for 48h before I returned it so I don’t think I can say that I have fully tested it.

    • @Moghster
      @Moghster 5 лет назад +15

      disagree because a picture has a lot to do with 100 other factors that you would not account for, like time of the day, lighting, model, location, so you can have a shit picture taken in the g master and a better picture taken in the kit lens if you aren't perfect. So it'll only confuse you. But here you get the details in technology which shows you it's capacity.

    I've had the Tamron 28-75 for almost 2 weeks now. Took it with me to a 2 day photo workshop last week and have not had the reported focus issue yet. However, I'm not using it for video. So if the issue is only in video, it wouldn't have been a problem.

    @Deminimis2 6 лет назад +13

    If I started over again I would probably get the 24-105mm for my first lens. I didn’t have too many options when I chose to go with Sony but I think that the zoom lens would be a good place to start. I would get the body and the zoom lens and just shoot and keep track of my exif data. Especially the focal lengths. After a while the data would give me a pretty good idea of what focal lengths I had been using the most. This would aid me later in deciding what lens to get and add to my kit.

    • @denyxrunner
      @denyxrunner 6 лет назад

      littlerayblue That's true but I would instead use the kit lens and buy some prime soon after. The 24-105 is completely no sense price for a f4. It should be a 600/700

    • @jalexanderevans
      @jalexanderevans 5 лет назад

    • @dangarcia5198
      @dangarcia5198 5 лет назад

    • @denyxrunner
      @denyxrunner 5 лет назад

      yeah but also paying 1.3k for a f4 is unacceptable... I would so like to switch to sony but the lens price are just no sense and stop me doing that swith... pretty sad because sony body are the best and the most affordable

    • @ietekoeke
      @ietekoeke 5 лет назад

  • @TheDougSpot

  • @OptimaMrL
    @OptimaMrL 5 лет назад +2

    Sony owns a 12% share within Tamron. This probably explains why the 28-75 works like a native lens, with the ability to update the lens firmware via the camera body. Additionally, it gives me confidence that Tamron will address any issues that can be fixed via firmware updates- like they’ve done so far. I can’t wait for a 16-35 and 70-200 FE mount from Tamron - they’ve applied for the patents already!

  • @benpearce2044
    @benpearce2044 6 лет назад +1

    Tactile buttons are also really useful for those of us coming from SLRs I think lol.
    I think I'm sticking with my gut and waiting on the 24-105 f/4....I loved my Canon 24-105 f/4L on film.. and will give up the stop of speed for another 35mm on the long end (I've shot crop since I moved to digital. I'm waiting on my A7iii to get here, currently I'm a 7D Mark II user with a 15-85 for the same role and I already grabbed a 55 f/1.8 and 90mm f/2.8) I also prefer 24 to 28 on the wide end (I was SOL for years on Canon because of that)

      24-105 is just as sharp. If you don’t need 2.8 then 24-105 is the way to go.

    Hey you do great videos all day and contents are really good... I just wanted an opinion as i am starting on landscape photography and plan to get sony a6000 woth kit and samyang 12mm . Do you suggest sony a6000 in 2019 and also to get 18-105 f4 lens ?

  • @rsilvers129
    @rsilvers129 6 лет назад

    I bought the kit lens because that was in stock and the body-only was not. Now I need to decide if I should keep it just because it is so much lighter than my pro lenses, or sell it. Seems to be a good walk-around lens for when my 24-105 is heavier than I would like.

    Currently own and use my older 24-70 2.8 Canon L with metabones adapter on a7R3 with great results across all focal lengths. The GMaster might give me better AF, but hardly worth the investment for me. Considering the Sony Zeiss 50 1.5 and 85 1.8 for additional spread and IQ. Probably a better investment for me. Thoughts?

  • @artmaltman
    @artmaltman 6 лет назад

    Well done! Do you know whether optical steady shot works with non-Sony lenses? I have the impression that you have to manually set the focal length to use OSS with a non-Sony prime, and so zooms might be unworkable. But perhaps the newer adapters communicate the focal length?

    @tomass7952 5 лет назад

    Thanks for a very good overview. I am considering going from a6500 to a7III. I am mostly using the Sigma 18-35 f1.8 for my landscape photography. So I would probably go for the Tamron or the G master.

    Thank you, but more pictures to compare so we can evaluate the pro's and con's.
    Is it really worth dropping the money on a walk around lens you are going to bin all results anyway?
    I bought my first zoom in the 1980's and first roll was absolutely horrible, soft, low contrast, all the rolls was just to bin and I quickly went all primes.
    I know the zooms, but not ALL zooms, are better today, but I can adapt some really good ol' glass with the LA-EA4 and save my buck if this lens is a bomb.

    Switched from Canon (5DMKIII) to Sony (A7III) and have used an adapted (MC11) 24-70 f2.8L II lens and my experience has been mixed. Focussing does work and images are beautifully rendered and sharp when focus is nailed. However, when focus hunts, it doesn't just hunt, it goes on a little safari and for no good reason as light and contrast within the focus area is more than adequate. In addition, not all focussing modes are available when adapted on the MC11. Lastly, the the weight...oh boy, Although the A7III is a little lighter than the Canon, the weight distribution with this lens adapted makes this combo perceptually heavier than when mounted on my 5D.

    I came into the FE (A7II) with no FE lenses, but from the a6000 with many lenses. Decided to ditch the kit lens and pay about 125 more (225 technically) and get the nifty fifty. Don’t regret it one bit (though I don’t do video work).

    24-70 f/2.8 G Master is my go-to workhorse. Have never been disappointed with images with it. Next is the 85 f/1.4 G Master. Creamy backgrounds! For super sharpness go with Sony 28 f/2 and 55 f/1.8. The 28 also has two awesome adapters making it a 21 f/2.8 or 16 f/3.5 fisheye! My travel lens is the 24-240 f/3.5-6.3. Never ceases to impress me. The 35 f/2.8 is best for street photography. It's the lightest, smallest lens of the bunch. Last but not least the 90 macro f/2.8 is great for extreme close-ups and good for portraits! All of these lenses are very sharp in my experience. (I have been shooting Sony A7Rii and A7RIII for 3 years, switching from Nikon full frame after 10 years-D4, Df, D700 and best Nikon glass).

    • @AllenFreemanMediaGuru

    Considering a light zoom for traveling and also have a baby 👶. Zoom is convenient.
    With all that said (especially the $599 New) is it still worth considering? Or even favoring in all that the 24-105 is till your #1 pick?
