Is this lens worth $1,400? It has a lot of competition from other companies at this focal length, what do you think? 0:00 Sony 24mm f/1.4 G Master Lens Review Intro 0:49 Aperture Ring and Focus Ring 1:47 Focus Hold Button 2:10 AF / MF Switch 2:35 Locking Lens Cap 2:57 F/1.4 is a pro and a con 4:08 F/1.4 is too much? 5:11 Perfect for getting your master shot 5:40 The RU-vidr B-Roll Video Lens 7:21 How is the Auto Focus on the Sony 24mm f1.4? 9:16 How is 24mm f1.4 in low light? 10:38 Why 24mm Prime makes you get creative 11:14 Does the 24mm the Optical Steady Shot? 12:00 One benefit no one talks about with f1.4 13:04 Is the Sony 24mm f1.4 worth $1,400? 14:42 Conclusion
I have some pretty good lenses but the 24mm G Master is the one I use most, especially on a gimbal or when shooting most video. It is well worth the money and the 1.4 is a very handy tool to have. Night shooting with it is incomparable with any other lense I have used.
Dang man, labeling the sections within the video for scrolling directly to what people need is next-level tutorial goodness! Why doesn't everyone do that!?
Best video for this lens hands down, so clear and straight to the point! I would totally watch if you have Sony camera setups for video and photos. Thank you! Instant subscriber!
Noticed you used the lens on A6400. Would you recommend using it on A6400 (or APS-C camera), given that the equivalent focal length is actually 34mm? Do you notice any quality differences when used with A6400?
Awesome video man! - new subscriber here 👍. I just brought this lens super excited to use it. You mentioned the possible need to have another len like the 50mm for different visual compression. How does this lens work with the aps-c mode that the A7iii offers? Could that be a quick fix if you didn’t want to swap out lenses and wanted a slightly different look? Hope that makes sense hah
For video sometimes manual focus is preferred, I.e. if there is linear manual focusing. In your experience is the manual focus linear and easily repeatable, or focus by wire and not repeatable?
Great review - I enjoyed it a ton 👍💯 From my perspective, the Zeiss Batis 25 mm 2.0 could be an interesting alternative. I own both and their characteristics are very different.
You would have to get the camera pretty close to fill the frame with small toys. It would be great for if you are on camera interacting with toy during a talking head though.
Is this entire review is entirely shot with a a6500? So everything you're referring and as seen in the footage to as a "24mm" is actually a 36mm equivalent? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Nope all the footage is my a7iii + the 24mm , full frame. You just see in the talking head me holding my a6400 because I wanted to put it on a camera while I showcase some of the physical features.
@@JavierMercedes now this clears everything out. Now i'm curious to see how would the 24mm performs on a a6000 series body as a "35mm f1.4 G master" equivalent. 😂
My dude! Kudos for this review. Hearing both the technical aspects and your subjective experiences was really interesting and the labelled parts of the video is super helpful. Well done. I subbed.
Hello Brother, thanks for this awesome review! I would like to ask if it’s okay to have 24mm as only lens for starter? I’m planning to buy a7iv and still undecided weather to get 24mm or tamron 28-70.
Hi 👋🏼 javier, do you recommend this lens or maybe the 35 1.8 , mi and my wife want to film videos for our office and we’ll be filming in our living room.
Hi Javier! Which lens can you recommend for video filming (b-roll, commercial) Sony 24mm f/1.4 G Master or Tamron 17-28mm f2.8? I'm really worried about GM auto focus (it seems to be slow to adjust / react on focus) and missing optical zoom to, but GM seems to be better at blury background and colors.
So I have a Sony A6000 and a Sony A6400. Love the lens on the A6000. Just got it today. Haven’t tried it on the A6400. Though am I missing out not having a full frame Sony Camera in conjunction with this awesome lens?
Hi I loved everything that I saw very clear and nice to the eyes What type of camera did you use for these videos? I want to buy this lens but I know the type of camera is important too. Thank you very much, I hope you can read my message.
I think it has more to do with the camera than the lens. I point this out in the section at 7:21 . The lens won’t breath if you know how to setup the autofocus. Setting up a zone or using the eye tracking on the new a7siii will give you great focus all the time.
I recently purchased this lense, and to date, it's one of the most advantageous primes I've ever uses. Also, this is the best video on this lense that I have seen. Thank you!
50mm, best budget for what you get. Then I’d look at the 24mm depends on what you shoot though, think if you need tight shots or wider ones more and go from there
This is such a great video, thanks very much for the reviews!!! I have been struggling due to the price but I think im really gonna get this lens now after watching your video!
Thank you so much for the review. Ive been eyeing on this one and couldnt decide with 20 or the 24mm. I’m defo getting this one! Also what ND filter is best shooting day time?
Depends on budget, if I we’re vlogging I would go with the 16-35 first because it gives you more flexibility. But definitely not pointless at all, you will use them both for certain situations
Great video! I’m seriously considering getting the 35mm gm 1.4 for video, but I’m concerned with the focus breathing that you and many others have pointed out. How difficult has that been long term? I’ve read sony released a focus compensation update with the a4, but not sure if the a7s3/fx3 will get that update.
I haven’t had too much of an issue, all of the talking head shots in my recent video are from this lens and didn’t seem to be a problem. Especially with eye focus.
Just on the a6400 while I’m holding it during my talking head because I couldn’t use my a7iii to hold while demonstrating. What you see in the examples was shot on my full frame
It’s a prime lens so it does not zoom in and out. The only way you could kind of achieve this is switching a camera from full frame to aps-c , but if that we’re the case then I would just zoom in post
I have to first say how awesome you did in this video! Big ups for sure 🙏 Quick question. I like to film my fitness videos and am wondering if I use my stand and start recording before I’m in front of the camera, will it auto focus to me once I get in front? Is there a way I can make that happen? Thanks Instagram @dariushollinshed for health and fitness content!
