THANK YOU for mentioning the 28-200 Tamron. Literally the best value lens IMO. It is so good for the money. I needed a long lens to take to Africa on a trip, picked this one up, and it is now my go-to lens for anything run and gun. Wide and fast when you need it. And 5.6 aperture at 200mm is not bad at all. And with great ISO performance with dual gain cameras these days, you can just set to F5.6 and then the aperture sticks through the range if that is a hang up for you. The versatility is through the roof with this lens. If you are walking into a situation where you can't plan, take your time, and control all your shots (public events, travel, docu work) and need range, this lens has what it takes to get you the shot. You can ALWAYS get the shot. It might not be the best the shot could be if you used a different lens, but you don't miss the shot because you need to change lenses. Or didn't have the money to get the "best" lens.
I second that opinion plus will mention that it has good close focusing ability so really is a great lens to have and has totally replaced my Tamron 28-75 in my camera bag as it weighs about the same. Hard to tell them apart side by side. I am happy with that lens purchase especially for travelling.
This summer, I bought it and imo, 28mm is wide enough for some photos. When travelling I visit a lot of churches and sometimes I'd have to use my phone's 0.5x camera to take wide photos. But I think when paired with an ultra wide zoom, it would be amazing.
This is the perfect video for everyone. Straight to the point, nicely explained, quick, informative, and entertaining. Thank you so much!
Always appreciate your advice. The Sigma 16-28mm f-2.8 DG DN Contemporary Lens you recommended in an older video is also a great choice.
Massive value here for both seasoned and new camera folk. Thanks Chris!! Killed it
Thank you soooo much for this video. I’d been looking at the a7siii lately and it was the lenses that were really making me hesitate. I’ve used this video to really get me started researching over the past few days and am taking your recommendations on the 24 and 50mm and am ordering this week. I also subscribed to Skillshare because of your promo here, so thanks to you for that and to them for sponsoring you on this video so I would see it.
Really good video! Probably one of the most informative video about lenses. You covered when/why/how, especially the practical how part, which is straight to the point and not like many other channels. One thing to mention is that you can do great work with almost any lens. I just watched a full video about massive ski jumps where the whole video is of very poor quality image wise, the snow is blown out and the sky is over saturated, you can't actually see the detail of what you want to see, but hey, they are in a Red Bull event doing massive stuff. The whole video is probably made from a GoPro so what does that matter??? It's always the content and the story that makes a great video. Just like if you produced this video in poor image quality, like in a quick podcast style phone video, I'd still say the same praise, because your information is great. So just go for that one which you can comfortably afford. That's my reaction of the last parts.
This was the absolute best lens breakdown and recommendation video I've ever seen. Masterpiece!
Thankyou 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 super kind words
Couldn't agree more with +Liam Moscrop
Great video man! Informative AND engaging. Love the editing.
Thanks a lot for this video.
I just started out in shooting sport videos professionally in Nigeria, and getting quality lens that can do the job has been a serious issue.
Watching this video just narrowed down what I need and at the same time save me a lot of money.
Thanks Chris
Great video, I can vouch for the 16-35 f4 and the 70-200 f4 for sure. The 50mm 1.8 is always on offer on Amazon and for the money it’s great. I almost moved to the 55 but gonna wait and just go with the 50mm GM(eventually). My next lens….a 135mm. I just love compression in a shot, for me it’s one of those things that really do distinguish’proper’ photos from the amazing stuff you can do on smart phones. Can’t fake that compression no sir.
This was an absolutely spectacular bit of scripting, filming and editing, with some fantastic info about lenses topping it all off ... and I loved the handheld mic as well! Ron Burgundy would have been proud!! 😆
Keep up the fantastic work dude!!
Appreciate you 🙏🏼
Top editing, top job. Well done, great vid!
Wow thanks so much for this, a huge help!
Great and useful breakdown of value alternatives - thanks! That’s why I love Sony… is the value lenses. My choices slightly different… Samyang 24mm 1.8, Samyang 45mm 1.8 and Tamron 35-150 (although not cheap - if you replace 24 to 70 and 70 to 200, it’s great value - and has all the features you mention at the end)
Thank you so much Chris, very informative. God bless you!
I've just added the video in my personal playlist. Thanks a lot!🤗
So helpful! Thank you!!! 🙌🏻
just found your channel and really loving it dude!
Wait a second. I know that profile Pic lmao
Thank you for the useful information. Love the color of your video in studio. What camera and lens did you use?
Just a tip for any beginners like me:
APS-C sensor cameras need a 35mm lens to get the same look/FOV as a 50mm on a full frame camera. The calculation, for Nikon at least, is x1.5 35x1.5=52.5, very close to a "Nifty Fifty".
This video makes me happy that most of my cameras have EF mount or can be adapted to work well with EF lenses.
Tamron is my favourite lens manufacturer at the moment. The picked up a brand new G2 150mm to 600mm for $1,000 (on sale). Fast aperture is always nice, but I don't really have an actual need for it on a big telephoto. I have one of their g2 70 -300mm and am going to pick up a 15mm-30mm. I can't say for sure how they work with other camera systems, but I almost can't believe the performance of those lenses, for the prices.
Very smooth video, with a constant flow of good information. 🙃
Sold several of these lenses and bought the 35-150 Tamron. Extremely happy with this lens. Still have the Tamron 17-28 and Sony nifty fifty.
What a masterpiece my friend! Great job and I totally agree with this options! As a videographer and photographer myself I love lenses and can be experience! Great job brooo! 🚀🚀🚀🔥
Great video, really appreciate the effort, want to get a 70-200/70-180 so will do some research 👍
Hi Chris. Awesome list :) Quick question. For the scene where you walk toward the camera, what AF settings (transition and sensitivity) you find work best? Thanks!
Superb Vid Mate! Thanks for that - now do this for aps-c users 😬
This will be a retention monster! Super pacing! Nice work Chris
Thankyou! Wel see 😁
0:12 What's the first lens you buy? No, it's not a 24/1.4 prime. The first lens you buy is a general zoom that encompasses the normal range. Think a 24-70mm or 24-105 lens.
Dude, you continue to step up your cuts and interactivity of your videos... it's so freakin' great now!
Thanks man I genuinely appreciate that, having a lot of fun with these edits even if they take forever haha
People kinda forgot about the 50mm f/1.4 Zeiss Planar. Since the GM is out, that premium optic can be found used for some outrageously low prices. I got mine for 700 bucks. That's almost the same price as what the 55 1.8 generally goes for.
The cut to "how 'bout no!" cracked me up. Really enjoying your videos, Chris! Keep it up!
Awesome video Chris as always! Big fan of the channel! Definitely helps to pick the right lenses... I just might be the dummy one, but I sold my Tamron 70-180 f2.8 and my Sigma Art 85 f1.4 to get the Sony 70-200 f2.8 GM ii 🤷♂ the main reason is because sometimes the 180mm is not enough in nature and I can get a teleconverter for the Sony I can't for the Tamron also I barely reached for the 85 prime for portraits I always used my Sony Gm 35 f1.4 or my Tamron 70-180 f2.8 before, now it's time for the Sony 70-200 GM ii to take over and do everything from portraits, sport, travel, wildlife (w/ 2x teleconverter) street and landscape photography!
Thank for the video 💪 It could be really useful for people building their system. It is easy to spend money for the G Masters and do NOT have expected results. Quite often it is much better to spend the reasonable amount of money and just use the gear - after some time, if you really now what you need/like you can invest into G Master for the one specific use case you are 110% sure about.
You have mentioned 24mm GM and 50 GM which sounds like a good options for videography and vlogs. If you are focusing more on photography and looking for the best bang for your bucks I would highly recommend the two lenses from Sony: 35mm 1.8 and 85mm 1.8 💣 Somehow these lenses are not G graded, but they offer weather sealing, focus hold button (I do not like that name) and AF/MF switch. The AF is fast and precise. Some of the cons compared to GM lenses are: only 1.8 vs 1.4 in GM, lack of aperture ring, more CA. Still amazing value ...
Keep deliverying this quality mate! This video went by and didn't even noticed it was almost 10 minutes long 😎
That's such a fast and nice video, thanks
First of all my congratulation on you 400th RUclips video! My ultimate best lens set will be: Sony 14mm F1.8 GM (or as an option Sony 12-24 2.8 GM, only if you have a boy to carry your lens lol) + Sony 35mm F1.8 + Tamron 35-150 F2-2.8 + Tamron 150-500 F5-6.7. If we go for "budget" then: Tamron 17-28 2.8 + still Sony 35mm F1.8 + Tamron 28-75mm 2.8 G2 + Tamron 70-300 F4.5-6.3 or maybe even coming new Tamron 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 (instead of both 28-75 and 70-300). If we go for budget then just Tamron 28-200 F2.8-5.6 + Helios 44-2 58mm F2.
really good video, SUPER INFORMATIVE.
Great alternatives. Another big money saver is also getting the sigma or metabones E to canon EF adapter and look at older canon L lenses on the used market.
This info is already a bit outdated. The new Sigma 24/1.4 DG DN ART is probably the best alternative to the 24mm GM, and when talking about 70-200 the new GM II definitely deserves being mentioned. The tamron 17-28/2.8 is about to be replaced with a G2 version. And in my opinion, the sony 50/1.8 is really terrible. :D
Also, with the money spent on the 55 1.8 you can almost get a samyang 50 1.4 mk2.
Wow, you ahead of time
Yeah I own the 50 1.8 and is crappy even with the latest update
@EmilWall why is the FE 50/1.8 bad? I was considering purchasing it
@@dystopian.mp4 Again, just my biased opinion, but I found it to have really poor autofocus, loud focucing motors and not very sharp at f/1.8. It is really cheap and lightweight though, perfect for low budget.
Alright. Even ignoring the subject, this was well filmed. The walk and talk was 🔥
Lens suggestions are NOTHING without sample footage that is real world.
nice video with alt versions listed there Chris. re the 70-200.. i went tamron myself but the 70-300 and have had some real nice shots with it.. as for the nifty.. i wasnt a fan of the Zeiss myself.. and ended up with the Sigma 56mm instead (although i do have the cheapo sony 50mm full frame prime which i use and like!!!) on my A6400 Sony
Another winner, Chris both for content and style . We are "living the dream" vicariously through you!
Thankyou!!
great info thanks!!!!!
Loving the new text that pops up gives a nice alternative of digesting the content in case you have a toddler screaming as you're trying to watch
Chris, I'm looking for a wide-angle lens for my Sony A7C that I will use to record workout videos at my small private gym and in a commercial gym. The two main things I need are a lens that will allow my tripod to be close to me while still capturing my entire body (when required) and blur the people in the background when I'm in the public gym. Lastly, I do love the idea of saving money. Therefore, I'm not looking to break the bank. I will shoot vertical (IG Reels) and horizontal for RUclips if that makes a difference in the selection. Thank you in advance for your input.
Great video. What do you think of the Tamron 35-150 vs sony 70-200 for weddings? I like the versatility of the 35-150, but the extra reach on the 200 is good to have. I have a 24,50,90 for my primes. Mid range zooms don’t interest me much. I find I can get great shots with my 50. I like the OSS on the 70-200 if I need to go handheld for other projects as well. I probably in the minority but long lenses are just more visually interesting to me.
1.8 is the sweet spot for me. They get crazy big and expensive beyond that for just a half stop.
Great video. How about for Sony apsc?
I bought the 55mm Zeiss a few months ago. Got it for round about 550€ and it is AMAZING. I don‘t understand what it does, but there is something special going on with it
The Zeiss magic. I have the 25 and 85 Batis. They just produce something special. Can't quantify it.
The zeiss 16-35 is really easy to work on. I have a video on how to fix it if you find yourself a broken one. I got one for 50 bucks and then it cost me like 350 to fix it. Saved some cash on it. Its really a great lens. However Sigma makes a 16-28 contemporary that you might want to look into as well.
What a timing i really needed this video 🔥🔥
Welcome 🙏🏼
thanks for the video. helpfull🙏👌
this options are great, but what do you think about manual lenses from analogic cameras? I have a couple of those and I think they are great.
dont forget the 50mm 1.4 zeiss, the image that it produced is stunning
Omg thank you soooooo much for this
Bro honestly this is one of the best yet the most simple video i’ve ever seen regarding camera lenses. Not even a sony shooter but i’m watching till the end lmao. Good job!
Really appreciate that!
Hi Chris , i opted for a Sigma 16mm f1.4 & 56mm f i.4 & for holidays & a little reach i have a sony 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 oss , all for my 6600 & never looked back. thanks for the tips :)
Tamron 70-180 f2.8 is a must have for wedding videos.
My biggest thing with prime lenses is just going for the F1.8 primes instead of the F1.4s and generally going used. 35mm F1.8 is an amazing option as is the 50mm F1.8. I did do the 55mm F1.8, but that was bought during the early days where the standard 50mm F1.8s autofocus was rubbish on the older bodies. The Sigma 24-70 F2.8 is a good lens - but it does zoom the wrong way which is very annoying.... I might have gone with the Tamron if I had known. I do like the sound of the Tamron 28-200.... if my Sony 24-240 ever dies (and it's been through a lot)... I think I will get that.
May I ask why you prefer 1.8 to 1.4?
@@therealmarcel a bunch of reasons really… firstly most people (even photographers) can’t tell whether you are at 1.8 or 1.4 unless they are seeing them side by side, and realistically most non photographers can’t tell at all. After that, you have lighter in weight, and definitely much cheaper (but that is not core to my decision - I have plenty of money and could easily go out and replace all my 1.8s with 1.4s tomorrow with no worries… I just don’t feel the need). Lastly most the time you want to have a wider DOF anyways - especially if there are more people in the frame. Choose what is good for you my friend! There are plenty of people that will choose different to me… but I definitely think there are a lot of people that think they need the 1.4 is going to be somehow make them a pro. I can take pictures with whatever gear I have and get great results. Friends who have got married have chosen to use my photos taken with an RX100 VI over the Pro Photographer primes on. If I made my living based on photography- I might buy F1.4s… but as non-pro… I don’t need to chase that extra 5% in performance that most people don’t notice and I can stay lighter and more nimble.. Hope this helps? Happy to answer more questions if you have them.
What lens do you recommend for low light action shots? I have an A7III with only the kit lens
I just bought a 50mm 1.8, covered a dance event and I have to say I'm mind blown! The quality for the price is INSANE
The new Sigma 24mm f1.4. Almost identical to the Sony GM.
Or, opt for the Sony 20mm f1.8 since Active stabilization crops that 20mm to a 24mm equivalent. You gain the extra stabilization while maintaining your 24mm framing. 👍
*Thanks for the great informative review 👍 ✨ ✨ ✨*
Great Video. But I have one question About the 50s. What do you think about the Viltrox FE 50mm f1.8 it’s around 400€ but you can get it for 250€.
Need a APS-C version of this
Just waiting on that 85mm 1.2 Gmaster
Solo shooter, filming vanlife and hiking videos. want a general do it all lens for sony zv 1e any suggestions?
I am using Sony ZVE-10 camera with 11mm F1.8 lens for landscape real estate videography please suggest a budget blurry backround effect lens for real estate agent house tour hosting video
I might get the Sony A7iii I am into wildlife filmmaking. Any advice on which lens
On a Lumix G85 what is best budget lens for shooting RUclips Videos at your desk? From roughly 2-3 feet away.
Great Video. I'll be using your links to pick up 2 of the lenses you recommended. Random Question... Is there a course you would recommend to learn real estate photography or videography?
Thanks for watching. I have a couple videos here in the channel covering it.
I am new to all of this I got an a7ii does this lens still work for all of the a7 lines
So I’m confused. If I’m on using the a6400 And get the 30mm That would actually be more of a 50 mm focal length correct?
Sigma 16-28 2.8 is the best value for wide angle zoom low light in my opinion.
"Not Røde But DJI" great plug for a new video upcoming? Good lens break down too, 'personal budget vs performance per dollar spent' is always great info!
Wel see haha
Can you use the lens on a Sony a7ii
Thanks so much for this. I not a photographer but simply looking to use a high qualiaty camera to make my reels look more professional - ive seen other people do it and it looks so good. Will need to be better than my iphone 11 camera. Anyone able to reccomend a budget camera lense combo that could do this?
Sony 10-18 apsc is also a good cheap wide angle. with active steady shot you can set it to 12mm on FF cameras and you essentially have a 12-18mm with OSS and minimal distortion. Sharpness is okay.
I have seen photos with this lens and they look awefully soft
I can HIGHLY recommend the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 and the Sigma 16mm f/1.4. These come in at ~$300 and ~$400. The autofocus is amazing, tack sharp images and great bokeh. These both are in sigmas contemporary line of lenses but are outstanding lenses. The 30mm is one of my favorites of all time!
for anyone looking into buying these, they are APS-C lenses so keep that in mind
Add sigma 56/1.4. Best portrait lens for this money.
@@Stuntman2128 I thought lenses don't care if you're FF or APSC? Won't any E-mount lenses work on any sony mirrorless?
@@kquan96 they will but if people have FF camera then they would want FF lens for the FF benefits
@@Stuntman2128 suggest some FF lenses for my 1st camera? A7s2
I have a Sony A7II (EMount) and I’ve recently started shooting sports. Mostly American Football, but I need a better lens, as my current isn’t the best at shooting across the field. What lens would you recommend for me? There’s so many options, what would you, or any commenters recommend? Budget is about mid-range, can’t afford anything super expensive like 2-3k. If anyone could help, thanks!!
Hi, what 35mm lens would you recommend?
I was expecting $20 lenses, max $80.
😂
Welcome to photography
Then you’ll be looking for a long long time
Did you find anything?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂……………….😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What you think of sigma 2.8 18-55mm for product photography?
idk if anyone will see this but will lenses like sigma or tamron work with the sonys autofocus tracking system???
In a world of Mirrorless cameras, that easily lend themselves to be used with a converter you can use dSLR glass. And a lot of photographers scrambling to get new lenses, pro grade lenes are up for graps
for the rest of us. I jusst saw a Canon EF 70-200 F2.8 IS USM for sale for 500$ here in Norway. I.e of you could not afford pro level glass before (like me) , now is the time!
Will the 50mm 1.8 still work well with the Sony A7III?
Can you post the microphone you using ? Is it wireless ? Thx
Can you tell me what’s the best inexpensive lens that I buy for video vlogging? Because I had just got a used like new Sony NEX 7 digital camera also can you please let me know what brand & GB size memory card or memory stick that I should get that will bring out the best quality for my camera so I can transfer the video files to My MacBook Pro Mid 2012? I am a new beginner & I want to vlog on RUclips.
What about the Viltrox 50mm? Is it good?
Thank you, you did the homework for us.
I am running 2 lenses, Tamron 17-28 and the 35-150, on a7IV so I can hit the crop mode and get out to 225.
What do you think about the Tamron 20-40mm 2.8?
That Tamron 70-180 is worth the money. Get it. It's an outstanding lens that has served me oh so well from hockey to race cars.
I've had the 55 1.8 since 2016, (when I got my a6100); that lens is a WORKHORSE for video and stills. Now, it gets mounted to my a7RIV and it is still sharp and full of beautiful character on 120mb raw files!
Best all in one is obviously the 24-105 f4, best video lens for Sony before going to cine glass, incredibly sharp for stills, and has stabilization. This is a complete no brainer answer.
Great video! Agree with another commenter, the pacing was great, content was actually useful (not just a low effort tier list) and I think you covered all bases. Been thinking about a 24mm prime for a while! Between 16-35 PZ and 24-70 GM have been using 24mm a lot.
Seems especially interesting for video to be honest!
Thankyou!
0:58 - Samyang 24mm F1.8
For fitness reels, would the Sony FE 50mm be a great one to have as a starter lens? I bought the A7RIII body but I’m stuck with what lens to get.
Best Camera Lens for Fitness Reels?
Can you do this for Sony APS- C?
Sony 16-35 F4, Samyang AF 24 F1.8, Sigma 24-70 F2.8 ART, Samyang AF 35 F1.4, Sony 85 F1.8, Tamron 70-180 F2.8. Theese glasses are almost same optical quality as the most expensive glasses (a lot of time with trying, comparing). On my a7rIII or A7IV really don´t need OSS. And specialy one in love - vintage Helios 44-2 58 F2 🙂
