I have to admit i fell for the Leica buzz and bought a Q3…sold other older cameras to get it. While i enjoyed it, it was nothing special. Additionally the small amount of video i took with it was filled with rolling shutter effects. The autofocus is not all that good and even though there is a softness to the photos i enjoyed, but overall, was not worth keeping. I have sold it and am purchasing the a7cr (i have an A7iv that i use for more “professional” work and think its baby sibling will work well. And since i already own the 24G and 40G i think my kit will be complete. And my bank account will be several thousand dollars to the good.
my travel/vacation setup is ths 40mm 2.5 with the A7CR it’s certainly not perfect but probably best compromise for me as far as compactness and performance with Sony gears great review
I love my Q2 Reporter, but I'm selling it and replacing it with an A7CR. Originally I was going to go with the 24mm GM (and tbh, I still snagged it because it's an amazing lens), but this video has convinced me to get the 40mm 2.5 + that hood for every day carry since I absolutely love the Q2 aesthetic and have zero concerns about poser status. I went Gordy's for the strap though, since i prefer the thin and light approach.
yea the buckle is a major turn off.. especially the quick release one. i rather thy switch it for a conventional type.. you'd really feel the buckle when wearing thin clothings during summer.
Sony A7iii, although slightly larger and heavier, has a far better sensor. Shooting at high ISO is virtually unbeatable. Forget autofocus for street photography, get light and small Voightlander lens, or a cheaper option one, Ttartisans or Light Lens Lab, 23, 28, 35 or 50mm, your choice. The lenses are small if you pick the right ones, the weight between your option and what I have suggested will come to near enough the same as camera and lens combination. I am writing this having given this very thing a lot of time.
You go out shooting at night and you don't have any ammo in your bag? I carry on body but I carry extra rounds in my sling too. No concealed carry options on this either . . .
may be itys my fault for believing in too much in youtubers ..but peak design sling is shit , yeah it has better build quality ..but it does not have any space inside ..it very uncomformatble to put in and out a camera with zoom lens attached
I got mine used last year knowing the II was coming. I was upgrading from a a7ii. I love the size of the body. The sensor in the body is arguably one of the best. For the photography that I do, the amount of tweaking I need to do in post is not as much as I used to. The colors on this sensor coming out of the camera are really good. Also 24MP is more than enough for normal people
Enjoyed the video🙌 Btw I'm not really sure if it is the best time to ask but, I was wondering if I can create better distribution through your videos by making them more subtle and also make highly engaging shorts out of them?
Good Video, I agree on the lens hood. It's metal and keeps the lens more discrete and compact. Hoping Sony brings a few more focal lengths to this compact G series.
Hi Matt, I have a very silly question for you. I have this lens and love it very much, particularly how sharp it is. I have it paired with my A7RV and love all the detail it can capture. But there is a part of me that wonders is the 35 mm GM significantly sharper? I know that is both bright brighter and has fewer optical flaws, but is it also significantly sharper? Sharpness is my number one priority. Appreciate any and all detailed feedback you might be able to give. Regardless, thank you for your incredible content.
@@MattYamamoto100 Yes, I like to wear lower. Plus I found out that when it's packed (interior and water bottle pocket), it's doesn't lay right because the straps are so far away from you body. It flips to the back pocket is not against your back and the front pocket now faces up.
Focus breathing on these new small prime Sony G lenses is very visible…too bad i was interested by 40mm f2.5 for video on the gimbal but my 17-28 Tamron is better in video without focus breathing , no CA , very sharp and also in photo. In apsc mode i can get 42mm 2.8 in video. But for photo these 40mm and 50mm f2.5 are impressive. I wait a updated 35mm f1.8 gen 2 with the aperture ring and no focus breathing for video/photo
@@MattYamamoto100 Sony a7c. I don’t have this feature and don’t want it.I don’t like the trend Sony is doing. Jason Polin made the same opinion during the lens review of latest Sony. They are making lenses with flaw and release new camera that can blur the flaw with digital or trick crop. But that’s not right. When you bought a 17mm you want to use it. You don’t want to finally get a refined 20mm because the lens have flaws. That’s not correct. To my opinion, Sony has badly designed their two linear motor focus. Tamron and old Sony (35f1.8 and 24-105f4) use only one motor and have no focus breathing and are highly love by Sony community. The problem is the new two linear motor in all new Sony lenses. I was a high skill developper and i foresee a difficulty to combine the result of the two motor into one blurry result. I bet they will refine the design in the future or come back to one faster single motor like Tamron or their old designs.
I have my eye on this bag, but I'm wondering, would the camera or something with such thickness fit in the main compartment with a bottle in the bottle compartment?
Ive used the leica q2 and the m11 both are amazing, but i went with the Sony a7c2 with a Zeiss 35mm f2.8 and the Zeiss loxia 50mm my street photography is just as good as using leica
There is 0 chance my D850 is fitting in the Hex. I think the 3L peak design is really pushing it. Especially with a mid sized 135mm lens, I might just have to go with the 6L. Thanks for the video 😊
I have the TOMTOC and love it. The one thing I'm looking for is an external place to put a water bottle. With TOMTOC is has to go inside the bag and I always worry about a leak.
Dude: you got the bag for FREE. Money already exchanged hands. However love the review. Thank you!! I’ve been shopping for a new bag to replace one of my twelve others for my Leica kit.
Hey! Thanks for the kind words! Regarding the statement about money not changing hands…it’s meant to make a distinction between a video like this where I’m free to say whatever I want VS getting paid to do an ad for the company where I’m given strict guidelines on what I can and can’t say. Wotoncraft had zero input and didn’t get to preview the video before it went live. I hope that clears some things up!
Thanks for such a detailed overview Just a few questions: !Were all the test shots filmmed with the Sony 24-70 f2.8 v1 lens? Did you have a filter on the lens? Was the footage slowed down and stabilized at all in post?
All of the B-roll was shot using a Sony 85mm f1.8 with a Polar Pro VND. No other filters (I forgot my black pro mist lol). The shots were a mix of 24p and 60p (slowed down). I did stabilize the first clip of the sea lions in post, only because I ruined the shot myself by being on uneven ground. It was such a cool moment that I didn't want to leave it out because of my own mistake...
The Cinepeer Weebill 3E will be on sale for $199 at launch! 🤯 Get it at that price while you can. At $199 this gimbal is hands down THE BEST ENTRY LEVEL GIMBAL! Thanks for watching
