Congratz on having the lens sent out to you! Dope vid bro, loved the vibes, super interesting lens! I got the 24-70 GMII as my main workhorse lens and even tho it's probably a bit heavier, it's still surprisingly light for such a versatile lens. Other than that, the 24 & 35mm f2.8 primes are my street photo lenses!

That bus should be a Pixar character! I’m waiting for my A7C II to arrive and have been binge-watching your content in the meantime.This is definitely an interesting option. I’m used to 24-70 but I can’t think of many scenarios where the 50-70 range was really essential for me. Thanks for the review and congrats on ‘making it’ 😂👍🏻

@DylanBlackburn 6 месяцев назад

That bus was so sick! Surprised I’ve never come across it before. Agreed completely. Might as well just put the camera in APSC mode if you really want 70mm 🤷🏻‍♂️

@samuel_d 6 месяцев назад

I’ve been digging short zooms starting at 24 mm since the Panasonic LX3 of 2008 (24-60 mm). People don’t realise how useful they are. This new lens looks great. The f/2.8 speed accentuates the full-frame look. It’s not gonna look like an iPhone snap. For me personally, I think I might like an f/4 24-50 mm even better, because that could be properly small - maybe 300 grams or something. But then you’d def need a fast prime in the bag. This f/2.8 zoom can really replace primes in many cases. Sony is killing it with the lenses though. The old optical giants like Nikon and Canon just aren’t hitting the same notes.

@rickbiessman6084 6 месяцев назад

I’m a bit of a prime snob, so super biased. I haven’t even owned a zoom lens in a long time. But I have the suspicion I’d enjoy using a compact zoom with a decent aperture. I’m just not wowed by f/2.8 on the wide end - I either use something much wider or stop down to f/4 or more; don’t have much use for the look that 2.8. gives you. Also... aaaagh, it’s just a little bigger than I’d like. Sure, it’s small. It’s probably as small as Sony could get away with. But simply in terms of handling and feel I’d probably prefer a prime over this zoom, even though obviously only a zoom is truly flexible and limitation isn’t always what you need for being creative. I’ve become so extreme when it comes to lens size that I got the Sony Zeiss 35mm f/2.8 even though I explained why the aperture doesn’t seem all that useful to me. But the size makes it fit in the pocket of a jacket and to me, that’s what the A7C is all about in the first place. I love it so much for that!

@edwardlee4029 3 месяца назад

I just bought a A7CR and I mainly take travel and street photos. At the moment, I am using my old APSC Sony 16-55 2.8 in APSC mode and I wish to buy some full frame lenses. I am interested in this lens and the new Sony 16-25 2.8. It will be a nice travel photography combo. I have tried them both in Sony showroom and I like them both. Then, an idea suddenly come up in my mind, i.e. if I get the 16-35 2.8 GMII instead, then the only focal range difference between the GMII and the two G lenses is 35-50mm. I can use APSC mode or the clear image zoom function on the GMII to reach the 50mm. That will cover the entire16-50mm range provided by these two G lenses. If I need to take portrait photo, I can add a 50mm 1.4(use APSC mode or the clear image zoom can achieve a 85mm 1.8) lens or a 85 1.8 to my combo and I can have a true potrait lens instead of using the long end of the 24-50 2.8. Wouldn't it be more flexible and useful than the two G lenses combo?

@stevenwaldstein2249 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for the video. While I have many lenses including the 24-70/2.8 GM II that I think is better for events I’m attracted to this for my Compact “C” bodies. Currently trying the small G primes but this now covers 24, 28, 35, and 50mm focal lengths. And as Mark Galers video shows it’s actually lighter than those three primes in the bag. I think I will consider getting one.

@applehelpproductions 3 месяца назад

I have the a7C II and it is soo hard to choose between this and the upcoming Sigma 24-70 Art II. I mean, logically this 24-50 is probably the better option because of the size and weight on the C II but they are the same price where I live and it is soo tempting to go for the Sigma. I will probably be using the wide-end more than the tele end and the thing is, with the 24-50 being fully extended at 24mm, it is basically the same size as the Sigma.

@joost3732 6 месяцев назад

The 2.8 is nice, but range is a bit limited. Very happy with the 20-70 f4, few millimeters longer than this but nice to go so wide on a standard zoom

@rickbiessman6084 6 месяцев назад

And that’s how different a photographer’s needs can be. To me, f/4 is just a bewildering concept and I’d opt for a wider aperture over zoom range any day of the week. But I’m glad manufacturers make such different lenses so that there’s something for pretty much everybody!

@Vantrakter 4 месяца назад

Nice review that focuses on what you find important rather than test charts. I don't know how LR works as I've never tried it but Darktable can either use an existing user-created correction profile (lensfun) or use the profile built into the raw image. I'm guessing either that LR can't or that pre-production lenses don't supply a built-in correction profile.

So I can relate to you with finding this interesting, even when I’m also usually not a zoomlens guy 😂. By the way, if people want something a bit wider, they can also have a look at the 20-40mm F/2.8 from Tamron. Greetings from a Dutch, cap wearing, fellow A7C fan haha

This or the Tamron 20-40mm f2.8? I guess if one was more into nature landscapes, probably that one or the Sony 20-70mm f/4 G might be slightly better. On a different note, are you going to get the Fujifilm X100VI??? That camera seems like it might be your cup of tea.

@TaylorTeets 6 месяцев назад

Since I have both the 24 and 50 G lenses, I don't think I would buy this lens, however if I was starting out it would be a good first lens,.

I'm evaluating Sigma 28-70, Sigma 28-200, this Sony 24-50 (would love the extra 20mm) or the Sony 24-70 GM II (this may be too heavy and clunky?) and bring 1 prime lens I have, either 20/1.8 or 80/1.8. Would love to hear suggestions from the sub here.

@DylanBlackburn 4 месяца назад

Well if you take a moment to look at my channel you’ll see most of my videos are centered around the A7C line of cameras so that’s why I did. As for everyone else’s reason, I can’t speak for them. Sony does not tell us what to say nor have any control over what we say. I only shoot with the A7C cameras for Photography so that’s the perspective I try to bring to the table. I’m not apart of a secret discord where we all decided this lens is only good for the A7CII & A7CR. I also have an FX3 and I admit this lens would be quite fantastic on it. Quite similar focal range to the iconic Sigma 18-35, but I’m a photographer, not videographer so I didn’t care to bring it up.
