I spend 80% of my life and daytime to watch what is the best camera gear 😅

@gilcarag274 Год назад

What a waste of time ! I know I do the same !! 😂

@jrc1156 Год назад

Actually felt a similar thing...many photographers are so fixated with bokeh that i think the practice becomes lazy in creative sense

@pasty_film_journey Год назад

I'm there right now. I have a shoot on Sunday, and I'll probably grab my old 24-70mm haha

@JD-eo6cp Год назад

24-70 or similar is a really useful zoom range (on full frame). I get so sick of reading or watching things on the internet about "that dreamy creamy bokeh!". I think good bokeh does improve an image (assuming part of it is it out focus) but it's a secondary factor. And so often people seem to treat now blur as better bokeh, but more blur doesn't not necessarily equal better bokeh. There is a place for images with a lot of background blur and with shallow depth of field, of course, but those things are very much overused, especially in portrait photography, in my opinion, and i think it comes at the cost of now interesting and engaging images.

@mxjaemov Год назад

this is so real, most of the time i feel like my favorite work i did was on my super old dslr with the kit lens cause i was using it as a tool and letting my creativity speak louder

@tristan_viney Год назад

the 4x3 is super fun! as a long-time prime shooter, i found myself immediately rejecting your perspecive on zoom lenses. but by the end of your video, you had me questioning why i felt so strongly towards my choice of gear. thank you.

@stew_redman Год назад

I use the Canon 28-70mm f/2 for 90% of my studio shots. It's just the most useful, versatile range for the type of photography I do. I've stopped chasing primes.

@timomuursepp3283 Год назад

If some day I have enough money to buy this lens then I know I can lose my prime lenses. Im holding into prime lenses now only for indoor shoots where there is not so much light. Though my Canon R6 Mark II iso capability is pretty good that 2.8 would work fine indoors as well. Idk :D

@JohnCarryOn Год назад

I sold my 24-70 to complete my Prime Set. It took me 4 weeks to regret that decision and bought it again. Its an amazing tool!

@timomuursepp3283 Год назад

I'm pretty much on the same boat with you. I used to hate 24-70 and mainly used 24mm or 50mm prime lens for my portrait/lifestyle shoots. But now I have landed more jobs in different areas where 24-70 is a must because I don't have time to switch lenses and I have started to love this lens because of versatility.

@svenyss 11 месяцев назад

Yeah I am thinking that way now as well, especially since I need to do more videos. I think there was a time when I was a bit too crazy about the 1.4 and the bokeh -and I won't sell these prime lenses now. But actually the 24-70 is mostly on my cam now.

@tomfries196 Год назад

@kylieelizabeth6522 Год назад

This video came at the craziest time, I just watched your old video yesterday, because I regret recently purchasing the sigma lens and was looking for people who felt the same. I didn't keep the original packaging so I can't return it and I was trying to think of the positive and this video just came up today when I decided I wanted to keep it. Before this lens, I only owned an ASP-C camera with a 10-18 and 50 mm lens. So I was basically shooting everything at either 15 mm or 80mm, which explains why I was so disappointed by the lens at first. It is still an adjustment but it comes in handy for photographing people, which is also my priority.

@andrewr_ Год назад

Love the photos here, they are absolutely stunning. I also own the Sigma 28-70 and it's great. A bit soft around 70mm but still good overall.

Hi Mitch! Can we get more detailed review to who is it good for is it good for saving space and weight etc samples with it maybe video sampels just focused on the lens? I enjoyed this video either way than you 😊😊

dude I really love the thumbnail, the title, the opening sequence is a VIBE - really clean video overall man!

@MitchLally 9 месяцев назад

Thanks Colin hope you’re doing well mate

@felixarm Год назад

Bokeh is great but the versatility of zooms is priceless in a lot of situations. Also, nowadays is really hard to but a zoom lens that falls “short” optically compared to zooms. So many great options out there. Hope that review on the 28-70 drops soon. Cheers bro!

@InaHorse333 Год назад

@GuyThomsonVideography Год назад

Not sure why people feel they need to choose between zooms or primes... Different tools for different jobs.

@gilcarag274 Год назад

That’s funny ! I also hate people who says: « your pictures are great » and then look at your camera « ah yes you have a very expensive camera » or « ah yes but it’s retouched ! ». I took my best pictures with a Fuji XT2 which is not a very expensive camera. I’m looking forward to taking this to the next level with my a7R5 but it’s more because I’ll continue working on my skills and style rather than because I have now a more expensive camera.

@acoCHR Год назад

Just bought 24-70 dg dn for sony a7R2 paired with 105 1.4 sigma. Sold all other lenses. Best of the best zoom.

@williamsolis1 Год назад

I remember the last video against the 24-70mm and I disagreed and thought different strokes different folks. The best bokeh from a 24-70mm is the samyang but it's just heavy so these smaller lenses are a better balance

@blaynespires 7 месяцев назад

I want a 24-70 so bad but the price keeps me from it while just starting out... Would it be wise to buy a 35 & 85 to get started until I build up enough constant rev to purchase a 24-70? I'm currently shooting on the 50mm and really wanting to have wide shots for portraits... Thoughts anyone?

@MitchLally 7 месяцев назад

I would honestly buy a cheap 24mm prime. I’ve been shooting on two lenses recently, 24 and 50 and I’ve really been digging it a lot. It is sort of a pain to continually switch lenses but if you use a shoulder bag you can get pretty quick at it.

@thedesignux 10 месяцев назад

Man, I agree with you about the bokeh. I've been shooting with an A6300 and have recently moved to the A6700 paired with a Sigma 24 mm 1.4 art dg dn, and the results are excellent. Imagine that with the a6300, I mainly was shooting with the Sigma 16 mm 1.4, and that was the only lens I learned for five years how to use composition as I couldn't get too close to my subject in portraits, and I had a lot of great photos showing the places and not only a blurry background. Most people say that you only have to shoot with a full-frame camera to get professional results, but I can say that is not true. Sam Elkins is a great photographer, and his photos now are more composition and feelings, not only blurry backgrounds. I feel that most people shooting with 85 mm 1.4 and full-frame cameras are becoming lazy and not using their creativity.

@svenyss 11 месяцев назад

I had the 24-105 and made great portraits even with 105mm and f4 - then I bought the GM 85mm 1.4 and the 35mm Sigma Art 1.4 - yes great lenses- but now I use mostly the 24-70 because it's a no brainer. With the 35mm of course I'm flexible but with a 24-70mm even more and a 85mm is sometimes to long especially inside!

Cool :D So do you own (and use more) the 24-70 or 28-70. Thanks so much :)

@MitchLally Год назад

@@Whaever_1981 the story from the last video was that I’ve owned 24-70 in the past and I didn’t like it. Now I use a 28-70 - it’s mainly to do with the size and weight over the 24-70 and i don’t need the extra wide angle

@Whaever_1981 Год назад

@@MitchLally Oh, ok. Thanks for being patient and clarifying that point! I have the 24-70 DG DN, but mostly just use it for video because of the amazing focus breathing. Best wishes :D

Perhaps we should stop thinking that the equipment we have today is "exponentially better" than past gear. We may be deluding ourselves into our own importance with ideas like that.

@truthseeker6804 Год назад

24-70 is overrated. 16-35 one mid prime at 1.2 and 70-200. Is perfect combo.

@YanFries Год назад

Perfect for you, sure

@katbrask Год назад

I get where you’re coming from but I have a 12-24 f/4 for work (real estate) and use a Canon 16-35 f/4 with a Sigma adapter for exteriors but I’d really love to add a 24-70 f/2something to build onto that. I also have a 35mm f/2.8 which is great. And eventually I’d love to replace my Canon cropped 70-200 with a Sony ff 70-200 which would give me a full range of 12-200. But I get what you’re saying 16-35 is really great

@truthseeker6804 Год назад

@@katbrask 12-24 with a 35prime and 70 to 200 is also a good combo. anytime i use a 24-70 i was always wishing i could go wider or more telephoto. that range would probably be good for small events photography.
