One of the best 20-70 GM II reviews I’ve seen, varied focal length examples, varied footage types and lighting condition, great job bud thanks for sharing 👍🏽

Awesome lens, but I don’t think it’s worth the price. Great video though!

@barlassahinoglu7832 2 года назад

Amazing review! I'm curious if this was with the latest 2.10 software for the camera - as in the release notes it says it improves eye detection even more!

@MarcTaraz 2 года назад

It was!

@Roy-zl2bw 2 года назад

I had the lens and returned it. Just way to expensive. The sigma 24-70 is just as good for more then half the price.

@lewcehjitl3282 2 года назад

The sigma is super heavy can’t film facing down. The gm ii is the perfect lens ever made to date. Price tag is fair

@SarkarKalyanjit Год назад

I just received my Sony GM2 24-70. Are the internal elements in free state and rattle when camera not connected? Is that Normal? Will it not damage anything inside during travel?

They change depending on the situation, photo, video, action, stationary. Really depends!

@MulliganAl Год назад

Bought this lens used but returned it because it didn’t seem any sharper than my 24-105 f4, but it may have been a bad copy hence the reasons it was sold used. So I’m going to give it another try since I loved everything else about the lens (weight, hit rate, AF) and it will be perfect for travel with my a7rv and a few primes.

@gencag0385 Год назад

Perdón pero no sé inglés. Me gustaría saber si hay una gran diferencia entre la versión II y la versión I, con respecto a rapidez de enfoque y nitidez ya que me gustaría comprar alguno pero no se si valga la pena invertir el extra por la versión II. Gracias. Excelente video

@MarcTaraz Год назад

The mark II is slightly faster, and does have better optical quality, but in the real world, the differences are barely noticeable. The big difference is the size and weight. If you can get a good deal on the mark I, there isn’t a huge difference. I hope that helped!

@rafikz77 2 года назад

Photography equipment is so expensive. Do you pay the whole amount upfront or with a financing plan?

@MarcTaraz 2 года назад

I personally only buy things if I can pay the full amount, I never do financing or payment plans. But that's just me, everyone is different

@rafikz77 2 года назад

@@MarcTaraz Thank; I prefer to avoid financing/payment plans as well, but photography equipment is so expensive lol

@Xetenor 9 месяцев назад

Great review :) Lenses like this are what made me switch to sony; especially because of the AF speed and accuracy. Ever since I got this lens it's been literally glued to my a7rv. It shouldn't be possible to get such prime like sharpness in a zoom but somehow sony did such an amazing job with this it left me almost speechless. I will say though that I did have to go through at least 2 copies to get a golden one which is the one gamble we play with sample variation unfortunately. My copy from Adorama was amazing. I switched from the sigma 24-70 mainly due to the AF aspect. Can rely on it. Still I think for most people the sigma 24-70 is absolutely incredible value that also has beautiful rendering and lens itself is just so pretty. Makes me almost want to buy it again just to have it!

@christiangrajeda Год назад

Can this lens work with jewerly on model photography?

@MarcTaraz Год назад

I think it depends on the kind of shots you want to get, but I think this lens is definitely capable. Some might choose to pickup a macro lens. It all just depends on the shots you want to achieve

@christiangrajeda Год назад

@@MarcTaraz thanks for the reply Marc! So which would be a good macro lens for Sony?

@MarcTaraz Год назад

The best one right now would be the 90mm macro, but there are decent third party alternatives that are cheaper

I am thinking to buy 24 to 70 vs 16 to 35 for talking head videos..........what will you suggest ?

@MarcTaraz 2 года назад

I'd personally say 24-70, as I tbink it is more versatile. But everyone has their preferences, and space limitations. Maybe you really like the ultra wide look. But I would reccomend the 24-70
