Great video! Some great ideas here. So far my favorite “Bargain” lenses for Sony FF are the Sony 28mm F2, Samyang 45mm 1.8, Sony SEL 50mm 1.8 and the Sony 85mm 1.8. You can do so much with just these and find them cheap. I do have my eyes on the new Sony 40mm G lens though.

@richarddenise3886 2 года назад

Thanks! While I may be a Sony, maximum aperture snob, the Sony 85 f/1.8 is bitingly sharp as is the 24-105 f/4 G OSS lens.

@mmarashdeh 2 года назад

Nice to see what I got so far after moving to sony is featured in this video , i got a used 70-200 f4 as well as a used 55 1.8 and both are really amazing. Then I added sigma 90mm 2.8 which is a very nice lens with its own character. On the wide side I got sony 20mm 1.8 which is one of my favorite wide focal lengths. Thank you for another awesome video :)

These last two videos could have been made to order for me! After months of saving and deliberating, having sold all my Canon dslr and L zooms a couple of years ago recently took the plunge and bought a Sony A7riiia for $2298 yep should have waited for this sale ( sound of boot bouncing off buttocks ) and Sony 24-105 f4 G, FE 85mm f1.8 as well as FE 35mm f1.8. Struggling to learn the Sony menus after 20 + years of Canon but while a significant advance from my old pro gear they are all just tools even if learning how to get the best from ones tools is important. Always a pleasure to watch and listen to your calm thoughts 👍🏻

@NeilSnapePhotography 2 года назад

Sounds like me! I ordered the A7R IIIa and a Tamron 35-150. Coming from Canon DSLR, this is NOT going to be easy. Yet looking forward to the possibilities of the huge Sony E mount offerings.

@n.michaelh4726 2 года назад

Hi Hugh, Great video... I'm trying to decide between the Sony 40mm 2.5 and the Sigma 45mm 2.8 which is $100 cheaper. Which one would you buy? I have a Sony a7C camera. Thanks in advance!

@3BMEP 2 года назад

The Sony for AF, clinical sharpness across the field; industrial design matched to the a7C, and ultimate compactness; the Sigma for build, feel, joy - and a more muted kind of sharpness (it’s still there, it just doesn’t wear it on its sleeve) which you may or may not prefer. I really like my 45/2.8 for street, but I also really liked the 40 for street, preferring it to the G 50.

@Peter-ij7rn 2 года назад

The samyang 18mm is agreat wide angle, very small & light. So is the Samyang 45mm..the Sony 85 1.8 all in combination with the A7C keeps it very versatile and lightweight. No more big backpacks for me. Oh,and the Tamron 28-200 for travel and tele in landscapes..

@arnisbrown5848 2 года назад

@fwfeo 2 года назад

Tamron 28-75/2.8 was one of the reasons I switched to Sony 3 years ago! I got a 12-24/4 G for real estate and the Tamron was for events. Otherwise I would've never spent $2200 on a 24-70/2.8. most Sony lenses were really expensive, but now that Canon, Nikon and Panasonic are selling them for the same price, they look normal, but still expensive!

I tried to buy a Sony camera in Japan, but they stupidly require all their cameras to have Japanese language only, unless you can find a “tourist model” which of course don’t exist in the age of Covid. Sadly their choice made me become a Nikon customer instead, sayonara Sony.

The pull of the Hugh. Having left the Sony fold with the A7R2 being the last body I bought, I wonder why I watched this, but I did.

@davidgates3044 2 года назад

I recently got the Tamron 28-75 g2 zoom & agree the Hugh- it’s a great general purpose zoom. I also like the Sigma 45 f2.8 compact prime for street work. I’ll add one Hugh didn’t mention- the Tamron 70-180 f2.8. A great tele for landscapes.

@3BMEP 2 года назад

Very sharp sand relatively light weight, though I found the 70-180 to have more distortion than I like. Then again, my landscape work is in an urban setting where this characteristic is more likely to be obvious.

@dougfromsoanierana 2 года назад

I’ve been shooting with the Sony/Zeiss 55mm 1.8 on a Sony A7III and it’s gorgeous. The combination of sharpness and autofocus capabilities is first rate. Also just picked up a nice used Laowa 15mm 2.0 for Sony and I’m looking forward to trying it out.

Complete novice here, just taking my first steps in photography with an A7iii, I'm still a bit lost with these recommendations but can anyone recommend a decent lens for some landscape work to learn on? Love these vids btw, subbed!

@careylymanjones 2 месяца назад

If you're on a tight budget, Samyang/Rokinon have some good "starter" lenses. Their 35mm f/1.8 is pretty good. 35mm is a good all-around focal length. Just a bit wider than "normal" but not so wide that your subject gets lost. If you have a bit more to spend. Sigma's 35mm f/2 will give a bit better image quality, as will Sony's 35mm f/1.8. All three lenses are small and light enough that schlepping them into the boonies isn't a problem. A lot of landscape photographers like to have a tele in the bag, to home in on details, when it's not practical to get closer. Tamron's 70-180 f/2.8 is lightweight, compact and costs half what the Sony 70-200 f/2.8 runs. If you feel you NEED superwide, there are a lot of good choices. One of the best values is the new Viltrox 20mm f/2.8. Sigma, Tamron and Sony also have good 20s.

@malibuman6160 2 года назад

Absolutely love the Laowa 105mm F2 STM for portraits… it’s manual but worth the extra work on focusing. Also the Laowa 15mm F2 Zero D.

I'm gonna give that 24mm 2.8 a go. I'm in need of a wider angle lenses. I only own a 35mm 2.8 Zeiss and a Sony 85mm 1.8 prime right now and want to have a wider angle lenses in my kit. I want a wider view for my streaming and as another option for street photography

@zyban99 2 года назад

Go for the 20mm g 1.8. Half the price, optically as good and so versatile.

@OliverFacey 2 года назад

I've now got two Laowa lenses and have enjoyed the results from both. The first was the 5.6/9 which I found to be an improvement over the Voigtländer 5.6/10 and I'm not just talking about the extra 5° of FOV. The recently released 0.95/35 was an instant purchase from me as I love very low light shots and I was sure it would outperform the Mitakon Speedmaster 0.95/50 that I sold earlier in the year. I was not disappointed, although the click on the aperture is a little wet and the switch to de-click it is even wetter. I'm tempted to tape the ring in place as I almost always use it wide open.

@Peter-ij7rn 2 года назад

Very interesting, rented the Laowa 10-18 awesome manual lens too. The 9mm is on my list.😊

@francisschweitzer8431 2 года назад

I also have BOTH… I seem to be leaning in the Voighländer 10mm more then the Laowa 9mm … I think it’s because of the chip in the Voighländer but BOTH produce enjoyable results …NOTE: The Laowa needs to be stopped down to get cleaner frame edges … but I crop deeply in post so I tend to not worry too much.

@francisschweitzer8431 2 года назад

@@Peter-ij7rn the Laowa 9mm f/5.6 Dreamer is fun…. Pretty much everything is always in focus. The F Stop ring is a bit easy to move accidentally…so there that. The edges at 5.6 are WONKY… so stop down. BUT…. It’s a fun lens, can get up close and will give a decent shot…. And like any wide lens… if you play with the angles… you can get a creative photo. NOTE: since the Laowa is not chipped, it will not AUTO ZOOM the EVF in Focus Assist as you must manually do that with whatever Button you assigned.

@careylymanjones 8 месяцев назад

A recently-released lens that is a SUPERB value, is the new Viltrox 20mm f/2.8. Image quality is decent, the lens is tiny and light weight, and it may be the best $158 you'll ever spend on camera gear. It's become the wide leg of my three-lens prime kit. The other two lenses in the bag, are the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN (not HSM), which I found on sale for $720 (missed out on an even better deal, at $689), and my Sony 85mm f/1.8, which ran about $598. Three quite good lenses, for under $1,500 plus shipping and tax. They, along with my caged A7III and accessories, fit in a bag about the size of the Peak Design 6L sling.

@JACKnJESUS Год назад

Great video... I decided going forward into FF with Sony a few years ago to buy less glass but the highest quality. I ended up with three primes and one zoom. Sony and Voigtlander only...winced at the pricing...but ponied up and have not been disappointed. So...just a few months ago, I ran across some testing on the Tamron 24mm f/2.8 ... what? Pretty much perfect optics. No bells...no whistles...no anything but electronics and tack sharp glass. It was on sale for $150. I bought it. Did I need it...heck no...but sometimes...you cannot ignore inverse price/quality relationships. There are gems out there...on the cheap... a few. Edit: I have that Sony 135mm f/1.8 ...and while I am sure I have not shot with near as many lenses as you folks have...I concur. It's the best lens I have ever seen...ever.

@domvssapientiam665 2 года назад

I shoot 2 systems, Fujifilm for the out of body analog exposure triangle controls & film simulations, Sony full frame for vintage manual lens shooting. Since I had the full frame body anyway, I decided to get a handful of relatively cheap primes to play around with. Looking to spend as little as possible, but not sacrificing much optical quality, I chose Samyang/Rokinon..... quite satisfied.

@zyban99 2 года назад

The Sony 20mm 1.8g is a fantastic lens for landscape and possibly even better than the 24mm g master for wide field astrophotography. Great rendition and a steal compared to the 24mm. Compact and light it is also a great gimble lens for videography.

@evenatienzaart 2 года назад

It is remarkable for its quality and. versatility, especially for landscapes while hiking or backpacking. On an A7R 2, the images are sumptuous and if when I have had to be very weight-conscious or want to be discrete for street and travel, I put it on my A6000. I look forward to using it on an A7C or A7C II when one comes.

Actually Tokona 85mm f1,8 is much better than Viltrox and has better autofocus, bokeh, and Is sharper in corners also contrast is slightly better.

@idontwantacallsign 2 года назад

Maybe the Tamron 35 f/2.8 is a bargain but the one I bought is ok sharp on the right side of the frame but very blurry on the whole left side almost til the center of the frame. So I returned it. Do your self a favor and check the lens before you decide to keep it.

@rphandler 2 года назад

You missed one: the Tamron 2.8/70-180 which is lighter and more portable than any 70-200. It almost lives on my a7Riv where its images can be cropped to the equivalent of 270 mm fov still with 26 mp. And at 70mm focused manually it functions as a decent macro. It's a no-brainer for the 70-200 range.

@geuskoeman721 6 месяцев назад

@jasonblackman 2 года назад

This is a wonderful roundup of lenses and comparisons of them. Well done! When it comes to the Sony 200-600mm, the main aspects that sold me on it is that it's an internal zoom and its focusing capabilities. Being of similar length and weight as the competition, once at the long end, it's much more manageable than the others. Also, without the camera body attached, it will fit in one side of a Peak Design Everyday backpack 30 L. It does take up the entire side and you will have to play Tetris to make other lenses fit with it inside. The Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 nearly lives on one of my bodies. It's an incredible lens, but large and heavy. The Sony 55mm f/1/8 is another one that I won't leave home without. That is one of the sharpest, most versatile lenses I own. The focusing is quick and the contrast is lovely.

The one Sony lens I own was not mentioned. A mistake I think, because it is a really good lens. 24-105 f4 G. It is chunky, and hefty, and pricy at 1200$ new, $750 used. But it does more than a 28-70, sharp, good colors, and even a bit of macro to boot. IMHO, the ONE to have.

@3BMEP 2 года назад

The first 24-105 we ever had in hand was terrific, but that was a pre-production unit. The one we actually bought was not nearly the same. A good friend of ours lives his, however, so I chalk it to lens variability - something I just don’t want to have to deal with. We sold ours.

Hugh, thank you for a very valuable introduction to what is available in the Sony FE mount landscape. I just purchased an A7Rii on your recommendation. I’ll let you know how that works out. I use Fuji and m43 Panasonic bodies. From that perspective the FE glass seems expensive. Yes it is full frame so the lenses require more glass. I have the Sony 50mm f1.8. Inexpensive and adequate for street photography. As I’m not committed to full frame yet, I don’t want to spend upwards of $500 for glass I may be Craigslisting soon. If I stay with Sony, you know I’ll be revisiting and taking notes from this video. This is a great companion to your A7Riiia price alert a couple days ago. Season’s greetings. Mask on Nurse Marty

The Samyang lenses mentioned at the beginning of the video are wonderful. Light, fast, low chroma, low flare and generally nice sunstars. The 24/1.8 is superb but the tiny 18mm and 45mm are good too. The 85/1.4 is stellar and goes head to head with the Sony GM.

I think the Sigma 24-70 f2.8 is optically superior to the GM.

@3BMEP 2 года назад

I agree with you (optically - the GM has better AF).

I have absolutely fallen in love with the Sony 50mm f/2.5. I've been all over DC with it for my street and landscape photography. It's pretty much replaced my 24-70 DG DN for most applications. I definitely have grown into more of a primes guy than zooms over the last several years. That all said... had I to do it all over again, I think I'd buy the Sigma versions instead of buying the 24, 135 and 100-400 GM's... well I lie. Not the 135 GM. You'll pry that lens out of my cold, dead hands...

Interesting video. I agree with some of the points but not all. I own the Sony 85mm f1.8 and it's a fine lens but from what I've read the bokeh is better on the Viltrox. Many state that actually the Tokina is the best all round 85mm f1.8. I also own the Sony 70-200 f4. It's ok without being spectacular. I've been looking at extreme telephoto lenses. The 150-500 Tamron is too much of a compromise. Yes probably well made and fairly compact but here in UK more expensive than the sigma 150-600. Price isn't the only negative either, I find the 6.7 maximum aperture and only 7 aperture blades unforgivable. I own both the Tamron 17-28 and 28-75. Both decent lenses at fair prices. However I'm still keen on a fast prime in the 50mm region..... maybe the new Samyang will fill that need. I love bokeh lenses which is why I can't justify 2.8 primes, even though they are probably lovely lenses. Bang for buck is important to most of us. However I think it's worth splurging if there is a 'magic' lens in a focal length you use a lot. For me that was the Sony 135mm f1.8 which I love and was my most recent lens purchase. It's spoilt me though as I now want that magic in every lens I buy from this point forward but at better prices. It's the reason I just can't justify the 50mm f1.2

I saw in many videos that the Sigma 24-70 has some dust accumulating issue

@3BMEP 2 года назад

Haven't had that experience, but my experience is only one data point. Would be a shame if a significant issue. Can you point to a couple of specific videos with minute markers?

@xWood4000 2 года назад

I've heard the same, and that they added new seals in early 2021 so it may be better now. My sigma 24-70 is indeed pretty dusty (used) but I have never noticed it in pictures
