The Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 for portraits and the Sony FE 28 f/2 for travel photography are the best value for money Sony FE lenses. Very sharp, bright and not expensive full frame lenses.

@chunkitlee7364 4 года назад

Achilleas Labrou 55 1.8 is also a good choice

@AgnostosGnostos 4 года назад

ChunKit Lee ChunKit Lee The Sony 55mm f/1.8 is indeed a very sharp lens but it has double the price.

@greysuit17 Год назад

28mm for headshots is always really nice

I have several GM lens but also love this little gem of a lens in my kit. Thanks for the love you are giving it, so others will know too.

@ArunBarnard 5 лет назад

When I came across your channel I was impressed with the results you were getting from various lenses you were reviewing. But now I realise you're just an amazing photographer and whatever lens you put on your camera you make great photos with (as we all should be striving for).

@karn3094 5 лет назад

Thanks for sharing your experience with this “budget” sony lens - I purchased it with the Sony 85 1.8 when I bought my first new full frame sony, the A7rii. I still use it on my A7s for astrophotography, it’s a great little lens and a keeper. Cost is $449 US, I bought it for $425 when on sale.

@Giomamaearth91 5 лет назад

Actually just picked up this lens for my upcoming vacation for how light and portable it is. Compared to my go to 24-104 F4 lens, it's a dream lens to carry around for travel/landscape photography.

@digitaldavetech 5 лет назад

Just got this lens yesterday. Taking it out today and see your video by pure chance. Thanks for the video. 👍🏻

@icedude52895 5 лет назад

It doesn’t have a weather sealing gasket between the lens and the body but I do know that the lens is moisture and dust resistant. I have it too and I love it.

@iLLWiLL173 5 лет назад

Great review man..I'm considering this lens for my trip to Japan in a couple of weeks...I've initially ordered the 24mm GM but that thing is out of stock every where and Amazon seems like it's not shipping it until the end of June so I need an alternative solution for a wide angle street photography lens...this video definitely helped me decide on getting the 28mm ..my only concern is the sharpness of this lens but I might still get it...

@coreydbesmer 2 года назад

Just picked this lens up and already love it! Thanks for the recommendation.

@parmanduke 2 года назад

I love this lens and use it on an A7R iv. The APS C mode lets me use it as a 42mm lens too. Just a fantastic tack sharp lens. It's so versatile on an A7R iv due to its cropping ability from a 60mp image.

@SoCalPresa 2 года назад

Considering it for our ariv so we appreciate that information 💗

@markshirley01 3 года назад

Thanks Chris - I'm not a Sony shooter and Im going to buy a A7C so wanted a compact versatile lens for it. This seems to fit the bill. Although I will be using it for video - Im hoping the distortion isn't noticable

@marksummers5504 2 года назад

It’s a great street photography lens with the a7C. 28mm’s is my favorite focal length. I have the 35mm f1.4 but it’s a bit too big for what I like. Perhaps Sony will have either a mark II or a GM version soon. Nice review 👍

@Andrew-dz1zk 3 года назад

About to get one of these bad boys for $270 gently used. Always love watching your videos before dropping money on new gear. Great videos my guy.

@Subi_Vallejo 5 лет назад

Love it and couldn’t agree more! When 24 feels a bit too wide and 35 too short the 28 seems to hit a certain sweet spot imho. It’s just an enjoyable lens to use. And for the price!? I got this and the 55 for less than the 35mm 1.4 ;P

@kooky_nz 4 года назад

Would you recommend this lens for video? I just switched from canon and had a 28mm which I loved. I mainly do video, does this have auto focus

@jointspecialist 5 лет назад

Sometimes I don’t want to take the 24mm GM and wished I still had mine. Cheaper, lighter, faster and wider than the Zeiss 35mm f2.8, easier to balance on a gimbal. Yup, need to pick this lens up again. Congrats on 7k subscribers, Chris!

@ChrisTurnerPhotographer 5 лет назад

@AussieGuy14 3 года назад

Just purchased my first ever Full frame camera. The Sony A7iii today. Now looking for a lens to get going. I might get this!

@KGClassics91 3 года назад

Totally worth it. Def look into an 85mm as well

@stevenwaldstein2249 Месяц назад

Thank you. Picked this used recently and it’s a nice small and compact lens. Do wish this Sony would upgrade.this to match their G line like the 20/1.8 G. Big fan of 28mm FOV but we never seem to get a modern version. Take care.

@ayrtons1572 4 года назад

Awesome proud kiwi Churr. Cool seeing more kiwi camera lens reviews especially for Sony 😁

@chriss2254 4 года назад

How quick is the AF when paired up with the A7II? This set up would be replacing my Contact G2 + 28mm. Would the AF be as fast?

@sirena3700 2 года назад

@_rhapsodist 5 лет назад

Sony should really make a 35mm brother to this one F2 or F1.8 would be awesome. And keep it cheap as this one

@6gwilliams 5 лет назад

Yes a 35mm f1.8 has been rumored, please hurry Sony and make it.

@ChrisTurnerPhotographer 5 лет назад

Oh dude. If they made a 35mm f2 that was a pancake lens. I’d buy it in a flash

@0xwadee 5 лет назад

@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer did you ever tried the 35mm 2.8 zeiss btw ?

@deanwalliss8739 5 лет назад

@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer I'd seriously be having a panic attack if they made a 35mm f/2 pancake. My perfect going-out-to-dinner-lens in my Canon days has been their 40mm f/2.8 pancake. It's face-smackingly sharp, super lightweight, and super fast to focus. Having one of similar dimensions in Sony land, but a bit faster would be awesome. I'd love a Sony equivalent.

@str8poisintv131 5 лет назад

How does it compare to the sony 35mm 1.8 apsc lens. Ive been using the 35mm 1.8 apsc on my a7iii and although its a crop lens the 4k video from it is amazing. I wounder if i sould sell my 35mm and grab the 28mm any thoughts or opinions

@ChrisTurnerPhotographer 5 лет назад

Well I mean it’ll be totally different. Because on your camera the 35 is more like a 50, and 50 2.8 (in terms of angle and depth of field) vs 28mm f2 is totally different.

@michaelgordon2860 5 лет назад

It dropped to $450 on BH Photo now so the question is if you want to use a lens like this for Vlogging then would you choose this one or the Zeiss Battis 25mm F2? I'm ok with getting a Battis used if it's much better than the Sony 28mm. Thoughts?

@ChrisTurnerPhotographer 5 лет назад

I love the Batis. I had it for ages. I think it’s to close in price to the 24mm GM though. And it has real bad CA, not that it really matters but yeah. Great lens anyway

@aerofart 4 года назад

@6:27 I don't think one or the other (with or without polarizer) is better. There are certain elements I like the rendering of in each shot (filtered/unfiltered). I think it would be a good idea to blend the preferred elements of each image into a final composition - and get the best of both worlds, so to speak.

@AstroHBF 5 лет назад

It’s a brilliant lens for the money!

@jonathansecret6054 2 года назад

can you tell me is distortion is also corrected on video ? I shoot with sony a7 IV

@fotosvond_ 4 дня назад

If I got this right, you use it on a 7R III body? I had the 50/1.8 and I always felt like it couldn't really keep up with the sensor potential of this camera. I like lenses of this form factor and weight. My favourite is Tamron's 35/2.8 which has a proper rubber gasket and performs really well with these 43 MP. Unfortunately, it has got this old, noisy AF. On the other hand, it gives you very close shooting abilities. You always lose on one end. =)

@robertocordero4682 5 лет назад

What about the 35mm 2.8 Sony Carl Zeiss. I got for my a7r3, what you think about it?

@ChrisTurnerPhotographer 5 лет назад

It’s actually sitting on my desk right now haha they gave it to me to review also (on loan) it’s a lens I’ve always looked at buying but just can’t get my head around the 2.8 stupidly. But honestly it’s pretty awesome, super sharp and has a nice look to it

@robertocordero4682 5 лет назад

Chris Turner I got it because I wanted a small walk around lens that wasn’t too noticeable in public. I’ve taken to cityscape shots I do at night but I don’t recommend it for that genrè

@mmF-uj7pg 5 лет назад

If I am remembering the exchange rate right 700 is a lot for that lens, I got one for way less

@ethanlowryphotography8309 5 лет назад

So here’s the math. In NZ it’s 709 including 15% tax. Converted to USD, it’s 462.50 including that 15% tax. Without tax (to properly compare to Amazon), it sits right at $400 USD. In the States, the lens sells on amazon for 450 USD plus tax, whatever that may be. So somehow it actually works out cheaper to buy it in NZ, as long as shipping isn’t involved.
