Is this combination of Sony's A7CII camera and 24-50mm f/2.8G lens the perfect combination for street photography? I think it just might be!

Would have been great to see actual photos taken with the combo.

once I shoot a little more I will do a more proper review with photos :)

@youuuuuuuuuuutube 2 месяца назад

Crazy how small that combo is. Also, the lens equivalent for Micro 4/3 would be a 12-25mm f1.4, and for APS-C: a 16-33mm f1.8.

The A7iv/A7cii sensor ticks all the boxes but one : fast readout. With 1/15s, it is one of the slowest on the market (R6ii and Z6iii : 1/60, S5ii : 1/40). As a result you get rolling shutter for video and stills with electronic shutter and struggling AF for fast moving subjects.

@PMRTV 2 месяца назад

as the frame rate for mechanical and silent shutter are the same at 10 fps, I don't have any issues with jello for shooting sports. Using silent is a train wreck for sure but I'd never use it for action stills. You are right about the video though... I use a1s' a9III, FX30's and FX6 for that use.

I recently bought an A6700 and some pancake primes to explore street photography. I think that while the 16-55 is a great zoom it's too big and conspicuous for me, but watching my photos I'm beginning to dream of a small, light 16-35mm zoom and wonder how wide an aperture would be possible without making it a big lump. f2? That would make it a real alternative to the 24-50 f2.8 at hopefully a much smaller size.

@marchonore 2 месяца назад

I have the 16-25mm G and the 24-50mm G. Tamrons approach with 20-40mm is a much more useful focal length range…if Sony had done that with their better execution I would agree. But 24mm is not wide enough on the street or for video shooting. 20mm is the new 24mm.

@PMRTV 2 месяца назад

lol, I love your slogan... the 16-25 has way too much distortion for me, even after the Sony bodies correct much of it. I'll stick to 24-50 ;)

@SlotCarNewsOfficial 3 месяца назад

Thanks again for this video. I don't know that when Sony released those small G lenses we could see what was coming. The broader picture is now more clear. Sony have made a system of small G glass with those 2 (for now, I fully expect an a7cs at some point... because, why not?) cameras a7cii and a7cr now make a VERY compelling ecosystem of "going small" without sacrificing any quality. In fact they may add that extra bit of "soul" that some people feel has been a bit lacking in Sony's design aesthetics... but I don't know, your mileage may vary :) thanks again Patrick. Dave K

Can you do a compasison video between the 20-70 f4 vs the 24-50 f2.8. I am torn between the two as well. I have the A7C2. Want to use it for interviews, travel, and my kid's recitals.

@PMRTV 2 месяца назад

having both solves that problem for me!!! I know what you mean though... both are so good and versitile!!!

@stevenwaldstein2249 3 месяца назад

So I have this lens now and my travel kit has in it both an A7CR and A7CII, with grips, in it. If I leave the 24-50/2.8 G on the C2 which lens do you think is best for the A7CR? I added the FE 70-200/4 MACRO G OSS II as well and I have many small, medium, and large size primes plus zooms. What lens would you choose to pair with the 24-50/2.8 and 70-200/4? Thank you for another video. Take care.

@PMRTV 2 месяца назад

probably the 20mm f/1.8G

I'm so close to ditching the RX1RII for this and an A7CR.

@PMRTV 2 месяца назад

that 35mm optic is perfect in the RX1RII but there are 52 FF lenses that await you if you pull the trigger on the A7CR ;)

@@PMRTV very tempting but it will have to wait. I watched one of your old videos and got a great deal on the Sigma 120-300mm Sports, updated the lens and MC-11 firmware, it's really decent with the A1

I’m vacillating between the 20-70 F4 or 24-50 F2.8 for travel photography on my a7C II. Any advice out there from those with experience with both or either? (I’m moving “up” from an a6600 & 16-55 F2.8 which was great.)

@paullafleur6112 2 месяца назад

Maybe the Tamron 20-40mm f2.8 is the sweet spot?

@PMRTV 2 месяца назад

the answer is yes. whichever you choose will give you benefit for sure. As you are moving from aps-c to FF, perhaps the added light gathering and low noise of the A7CII will lead you to 20-70G????

@diblaze77 2 месяца назад

@@PMRTV Yes, I've decided the 20-70mm is a nice travel option to minimize or eliminate lens changes and more quickly be ready for a shot. Plus, I don't have to weary my travel companions with slowing down the day for photography if I bring too many lenses. 🙂

I am thinking of selling my SONY A7RIII and getting a SONY A7CII or A7CR, what is your recommendation and why? Thank you

@bondgabebond4907 3 месяца назад

A7CII - 33mp. A7CR - 61mp. A7CR about $700 or $800 more. The images from the A7CR will be more crisp, and just a little bit better looking. You might test both cameras if you can. You can see the difference if you do a little pixel peeping. The biggest benefit of these new cameras is the focusing, borrowed from the A7R5 and that is what makes them special. You can focus and track anything from a person to an insect. It's that if you like to do macro work on bugs, flowers, little things, the A7CR will benefit you more. I love macro photography and love the megapixels of the A7CR.

@paul.barracuda 3 месяца назад

The II is a bit faster and needs less card space. For people, street, reportage style always the II. That’s clearly the better choice. The R lets you crop in more. For wildlife and macro I would prefer the R.

@benoittissier58 2 месяца назад

You'll be losing the mechanical shutter. Both cameras only have first curtain electronic shutter. This may impact the bokeh quality when using both large aperture and high shutter speed.

@PMRTV 2 месяца назад

A7III to A7CII is a huge upgrade because of the new sensor in the C body. you gain mp and low light capability too. if you think you really need 60mp+, then go for the R but 98% of shooters would be well served with A7CII. I've never regretted my choice for the A7CII.
