Loved hearing your thoughts on this! Thank youuuuu
Such a Detailed Review that I ever seen recent times 👌, thank you 😊
Thank you so much!
One of the best 20-70 GM II reviews I’ve seen, varied focal length examples, varied footage types and lighting condition, great job bud thanks for sharing 👍🏽
Thank you so much! I strive to give the best reviews possible! I’m glad you enjoyed!
Damn epic bro, that pan from tram to your friend was insane!
Nice review. Your channel is pretty underrated.
Thabk you so much!
Great review!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed!
Amazing review! I'm curious if this was with the latest 2.10 software for the camera - as in the release notes it says it improves eye detection even more!
It was!
Thank you for so much info!!!
And your hair looks great!
great review.. tks
Great review :) Lenses like this are what made me switch to sony; especially because of the AF speed and accuracy. Ever since I got this lens it's been literally glued to my a7rv. It shouldn't be possible to get such prime like sharpness in a zoom but somehow sony did such an amazing job with this it left me almost speechless. I will say though that I did have to go through at least 2 copies to get a golden one which is the one gamble we play with sample variation unfortunately. My copy from Adorama was amazing. I switched from the sigma 24-70 mainly due to the AF aspect. Can rely on it. Still I think for most people the sigma 24-70 is absolutely incredible value that also has beautiful rendering and lens itself is just so pretty. Makes me almost want to buy it again just to have it!
The tram shot 👌🏾
Yessss!
Focus and bokeh is just amazing 🤩
Awesome video please
Please what camera did you use? What picture profile did you use ? Do you sell kits for your videos ? Thanks
This was shot on both the a7siii and a7IV, slog 3
I just received my Sony GM2 24-70. Are the internal elements in free state and rattle when camera not connected? Is that Normal? Will it not damage anything inside during travel?
Very thorough. Enjoyed your video tremendously.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed!
@@MarcTaraz Just curious, do you live and work in HK? It was unusual to see a footage of the tram.
Bought this lens used but returned it because it didn’t seem any sharper than my 24-105 f4, but it may have been a bad copy hence the reasons it was sold used. So I’m going to give it another try since I loved everything else about the lens (weight, hit rate, AF) and it will be perfect for travel with my a7rv and a few primes.
hi bro, so did you got this lens second time, if yes what are your thughts now, thanks
Perdón pero no sé inglés. Me gustaría saber si hay una gran diferencia entre la versión II y la versión I, con respecto a rapidez de enfoque y nitidez ya que me gustaría comprar alguno pero no se si valga la pena invertir el extra por la versión II. Gracias. Excelente video
The mark II is slightly faster, and does have better optical quality, but in the real world, the differences are barely noticeable. The big difference is the size and weight. If you can get a good deal on the mark I, there isn’t a huge difference. I hope that helped!
Look at them moves at 3:32. Speedwaaagooooon.
😏😏😏
I bought the 24-70gm2 & the 70-200gm2 the best investment i've made hands down. LOVE THEM
You're set!
Me 2!! My future lens is the GM II 16-35 to complete the holy trinity
Nice! What have your AF settings been?
They change depending on the situation, photo, video, action, stationary. Really depends!
Intro too fire
Thank you 🥺
Photography equipment is so expensive. Do you pay the whole amount upfront or with a financing plan?
I personally only buy things if I can pay the full amount, I never do financing or payment plans. But that's just me, everyone is different
@@MarcTaraz Thank; I prefer to avoid financing/payment plans as well, but photography equipment is so expensive lol
Is it better than the sigma 24-70 art, image wise?
It is, slightly sharper, and better edge performance, but nothing CRAZY
Bought the sigma very happy with that
What is your go to prime lens? TIA
Aw man that’s tough. It’s a tie between my 35 1.4 GM and my 85 1.8. Love ‘em both so much
@@MarcTaraz great coverage. I went for the 27-70 gmii for my a6400. 35-105 coverage i guess. Hahaha torn with a 35&85 or 24&50 combo
Awesome lens, but I don’t think it’s worth the price. Great video though!
Can this lens work with jewerly on model photography?
I think it depends on the kind of shots you want to get, but I think this lens is definitely capable. Some might choose to pickup a macro lens. It all just depends on the shots you want to achieve
@@MarcTaraz thanks for the reply Marc! So which would be a good macro lens for Sony?
The best one right now would be the 90mm macro, but there are decent third party alternatives that are cheaper
I had the lens and returned it. Just way to expensive. The sigma 24-70 is just as good for more then half the price.
The sigma is super heavy can’t film facing down. The gm ii is the perfect lens ever made to date. Price tag is fair
I am thinking to buy 24 to 70 vs 16 to 35 for talking head videos..........what will you suggest ?
I'd personally say 24-70, as I tbink it is more versatile. But everyone has their preferences, and space limitations. Maybe you really like the ultra wide look. But I would reccomend the 24-70
new subscriber here and nice review bro btw i want to learn photography and videography do u think 24-70 gm ii will be my first lens hope u can help me thanks BTW I also lived in hk
This lens is absolutely amazing, and I’ve been using it more than my primes. If you want only 1 lens, this is def the way to go.
@@MarcTaraz thank you so much bro btw if u don't mind do u hve any apprentice learning about camera
