Anyone using a 24mm F1.4? If not, how about now lol! This was shot completely on the A7RIII with the 24mm F1.4 GM Check out all our gear: Our Photography gear: geni.us/myphotokit Our Video gear: geni.us/myfilmkit
A reversed lens hood will certainly help lens flare. Looks like a 'cool' kid wearing their baseball cap backwards and wondering why the sun is so bright.
Appreciate that Manny! You were rocking it on this trip. Can't wait to see more of those portraits you were taking. I might be stalking your insta for a little while lol
You guys make the best Sony videos! Keep up the great work. One thing I like most is that the video during the photo shoot doesn't feel like a BTS but more like a film/video portrait. SO GOOD
Great review as always guys! But, use the lens hood! You don’t get to say there’s too much flare when not using it - images are always better with a hood unless you desire that “creative flare” look. In general I like your reviews best!😊✌️
Haha, we often get called out for that. There are a few reasons we typically ditch the hood. We absolutely like natural creative flare and even go out of our way to capture it, we want to see how the lens handles flare WITHOUT the hood, and I think they are bulky and annoying lol.
I've watched a lot of review videos on Sony 24mm 1.4 and is definitely the best. Excellent product review, images & video footage. This is not easy and you make it look effortless. Great teamwork!
I just bought a Batis 25 f/2. Now I'm considering returning it to buy the GM. Not sure what I'm gonna do but I really like that aperture control ring and the focus hold button. The Batis is actually 110 grams lighter and can focus even closer. It is an f/2 though, not a 1.4.
hello Dan and Sally, This lens gives another reason to buy the Tamron 28/75 f2.8 over the GM, you can get this new 24 f1.4 for when you want 24mm. it has more background blur, better low light, and less distortion than the 24/70 GM at 24mm. and I'm sure at f2.8 it must be sharper also. and you can get this Sony 24 f1.4 and the Tamron for around the same price as just the 24/70 GM.
I need to know. Does your copy of this lens make any noise when focusing in single auto mode? When my copy of the lens is set to any aperture greater than 3.2 and in single autofocus mode it makes a slight grinding noise. This noise increases the smaller the aperture. I ordered a second copy with the intention of returning the first and the second does the same thing!! Did you notice this at all??
Great video. I’ve literally watch all of them on RU-vid. Kinda disappointed that all the videos where shot all in the same location (forest/ Ferris/ big hair) with the same models. Would be nice to see it used elsewhere. Or a live shoot
sgpork I couldn’t agree more. With only $100 dollar difference between the two and the difference in aperture I’m very curious to see an image comparison.
@@27777BigRedBarn Bokeh better on the GM (but bokeh is overrated so...). Focus for video is wayyyyyy better on the batis. Both are sharp and great image quality. photo go for gm video batis
Thank you for your reviews and informative videos. I am looking at this lense now, or the 35. My wallet says I can only have one atm.... Hard choice. I'm excited to get either. And I was over the top excited to see Sony release this.
Great review!!! I've watch all the 24mm G master videos from all my favorite youtubers like yourself. Can I ask where you got that zoom transition at 0:28? Thanks!!
Yes and I'm sorry to minimize the rest. Really beautiful video and I'm loving all the videos from all of the people on that boat. You're all featuring each other!! It's great!! So stoked about the Sony a7s III mention this week! Or I guess next week.
What lavalier mic did you guys use in this video? It's quality is pretty amazing! I was in the link on the description to read some of your equipments and saw that “Tascam DR 10L” was in the list. But I looked for some reviews here in RU-vid and the brightness and quality is a little different of yours! So... ?
So these are definitely the DR-10L hahaha. I do sometimes EQ things a bit in post so maybe that's it but I still use that mic. Can't say I love it but I haven't found anything much but I'm eyeing this new one that just came out! bhpho.to/35wBz6e
Just found your channel! Golden stuff going on here 👏👏. This lens seems to be awesome. But for gimbal which one you think better: 24GM1.4 or Tamron 17-28? Subbed!!
Thanks so much Ale!!! So I prefer not to shoot too wide with a gimbal because it distorts on the edges so I'd use the 24GM and I actually would have no problem using the APSC crop mode to turn it in to a 35mm. The only exception would be if you are shooting a ton of building interiors in which case the wider 17-28 would be better
Thanks! So I own the Tamron and love it, but it's tough to blur the background at F2.8 when shooting wide and I miss having 24mm. What I like about the 24mm is the Sharpness in the corners and wider aperture. But if you end up shooting at F8 in the studio, the difference is minimal
Sony should have done a wider proposition : 20mm for example. The Sigma Art 14mm f1.8 is great and I like it, but is too bulky and still has no competition... :/
Thanks! This was actually shot using the FeiyuTech a1000 gimbal although all the boat shots were handheld. The a1000 is my favorite for traveling since it's small and lightweight. I still use the Crane 2 as my main gimbal. The Ronin-S didn't work for me yet since I need a dual handle setup so I might upgrade to it soon... Or the Moza Air 2 looks awesome
I have seeing more than a dozen o videos about this magnificent lens but I still can’t finde it anywhere. My obvious question is: where can I buy it??? Only for pre-order on B&H
It says Pre-order but that is what B&H does for new items when stock is limited. Your best bet is to use the Preorder from B&H: bhpho.to/2CbCR6Y They get copies in ever couple weeks and you will get yours sooner. They have been selling like crazy though so you can't find them in stock anywhere. Given how low stock levels have been, it will be just about impossible to find them listed as "in stock" anywhere since a store won't do that until they have full-filled preorders and have significant stock levels.
I really like your videos. This one was amazing too. Just a question about the flare. Was the large flare with the lens hood on? Some flare is good, but too much is too much.
It was with the lens hood off but with wide angle lenses like this, the hood will only get rid of flare in the extreme corners so you will see it with the hood on in most cases
REALLY tough call. I liked that it had little distortion, a wider aperture, and better quality in many areas so for portraits and for night photography, I could see a big benefit. But most of the time I pull out the 16-35, it's for landscapes and I'm using it in the 16-20mm range which obviously you would give up so it depends.
1:51 this LENS come with this model? Evry video i saw about 24mm f1.4 GM from youtube use this girl as model. Why? all of you use the same lens or no any model in New york?
This was from a Sony event. Sony hosted an event with the 24mm F1.4 when it first came out to allow a few people to get a few days hands on time with the lens long before it became available. There were probably about 20 people at this event so any content from September 2018 will probably have the same model. Any videos with different subjects would have taken place much later after the lens started getting shipped out
What a beautiful lens. Too bad I'm broke, lol. Seems like it would be good for vlogging and landscapes/astrotog. Maybe not vlogging, I don't think it's wide enough, besides, seems like a waste.
Awesome lens. Saw that the lens distortion is almost non existence, but I might be wrong since my judgement is purely based on this video. Nevertheless, very good review. Enjoy the cinematic take as well.
Thanks! I didn't shoot a brick wall or anything but certainly I'm barely seeing any distortion either. Especially great if you want to use a 24mm for portraits as this never corrects well in post while I can usually correct distortion in my landscapes in post.
Why are we seeing the same photos that were shot at the Sony event over and over again..I want to see photos that aren’t staged...I also fill the images I see on this lens are always a little dark..I wanted to buy this lens but I don’t see any customers reviews on Amazon site considering how difficult this lens was to get..Nothing to do with you reviews which are always clear and concise..
So unfortunately Sony only allows us to use new gear in set environments and almost never allow us to take them off site or home with us to test. However, this event was not very controlled and mostly natural light so the results are pretty true to normal use. Some of the other camera brands are better at allowing us to use the gear ourselves rather than only at these press events
Need a 35mm like this, not sure if I should wait or just buy this 24mm. Sony is so stupid that they can’t make a decent 35mm f1.4, the Zeiss one is just huge. The small one is 2.8, wtf Sony
@@learningcameras Can't believe I didn't think of that! Lol Thank you very much! I already have a 85mm 1.8 prime. I feel like the 24-70 will be a perfect addition.
@@learningcameras Awesome! I love my kit.my Sony A7III just came in yesterday evening. So excited to shoot with it. One last thing! What filters do you use for your 85m 1.8? Should I just reference your video on filters? Or are there others you've been using?
I have a sony 85 mm and the kit lens and I can probably afford 1 more lens for now... which lens would you recommend for weddings and for general purpose? 85 and a ??? 24, 35, 24-70, something else?
I would update the kit lens for now. Check out the Tamron 28-75mm F2.8: bhpho.to/2klEbf5 It really is amazing for the price. If you can afford it, you might consider the Sony 24-70 F2.8 instead but at over $2000, it's an expensive lens
Still Canon color space is the best so far, I am not Canon fanboy, just saying like it is. That’s only one thing keeps me from switching to Sony, Sony please improve color space.
