    I use the Tamron 28-75 2.8 for weddings and love it. It´s only 100g heavier and about 400 € cheaper and for me it has the more versatile range.
    Still I think it´s great that Sony tries to offer affordable 2.8 zooms, not like Canon who make you spend 2500 € for the cheapest 2.8 zoom.

      Personally, I love my RF 24-70 f2.8. It’s got more quality from it than I even need. But it was expensive, and it’s large and heavy compared to third party competitors on E-mount. And, of course, this 24-50.

      What the hell are you talking about, dude? As far as I can see, this is the very first and only affordable first party Sony zoom. Their G/GM lens prices are on par with other manufacturers.

      I like Tamron, but starting at 28mm is a dealbreaker for me. Sony should have made it 24-50/2. Yes it would have been as heavy as 24-70/2.8, but it would have eliminated in many cases the need to have primes with you. I can't live with f/2.8 shooting at a restaurant at night, I have to carry at least one prime.

      @@hardywoodaway9912 I am speaking as a Sony shooter. I did purchase 2 sigma lenses a while back and both had less that satisfactory auto focus, so a pain in the ass with video (i do both stills and video). so I am no longer tempted to use a 3rd party lens when a first party lens exists. In fact I find that when I do look at Sigma or Tamron, I have to reacquaint myself with what their abbreviations mean.
      I am not in the market for this lens, but my son who has an a6000 is moving up to full frame and this will likely be his first lens (he does mostly landscape). I am not arguing with you, just pointing out that now the Sony has lots of lenses. sony shooters may not want to waste time on the 3rd party market.

    For me the most attractive feature is the compact size and still covering 24, 35, and 50mm focal length, which could replace the prime f2.5 lenses if the image quality was good enough. This could be a good alternative for street photographers that strives for compact and large enough aperture.

    More options is always good but I do think it's going to struggle a tad given it has three direct competitors (size and weight wise).
    Most similar - Tamron 20-40 2.8
    More versatile - 20-70 f4 or Sigma 28-70 2.8 (excluding tamron's 28-75 as its considerably bigger)
    Not for me but more options won't hurt.

    Most of us are looking to minimize the number of lenses we need to buy, so I think its a "dont bother with a kit zoom and a bunch of budget primes lens" , fast enough to soften backgrounds and better in low light than kit zooms, this AND a 150- 600 telle , OR a super wide or a macro and as a hobbyist depending on your interests thats going to cover a lot of situations.

    For Street Photography and Travel I think the Tamron 20-40mm makes more sense. I have an old Pentax-F 24-50mm F4 which I love for street/urban shooting on Pentax, but would love a modern version for my Sony as I would value a more compact zoom over the F2.8 aperture. I may go with the Tamron though

      Whenever you touch a Tamron, you can feel how cheap it was. Maybe if you’re a professional, you just care about results, you want to min-max cost/profit, but I, as a hobbyist, want to also feel good about using my gear. Just like with cars performance isn’t everything; you don’t want hard, scratchy plastics or cheap cloth on the seats, you want soft-touch materials, nicely damped switches, soft leather…
      Oh and besides feeling cheap, you don’t get a function button, aperture ring, breathing comp.

      Sure some Sony glass feels nice in the hand but honestly as long as it gets the job done, produces a great image, and doesn't feel uncomfortable to hold I don't really care if it feels like plastic.

  • @ZOB4
    @ZOB4 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    I think this is aimed to displace those three little G primes they came out with a few years back. I believe the fastest of those was f/2.5. This lens covers the range of all three at a similar aperture and not much more price or size. I think you’re right on with its use as a street/travel lens.

    • @ElementaryWatson-123
      @ElementaryWatson-123 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

      It has nothing in common with small G primes, other than focal range. People buy those primes for the reason they want small and light and this zoom is not. Moreover, people would choose one, not three of those primes, the one that fit their needs most.

    Not bad. I'm all in for compact, light lenses that don't break the bank. But in this case, I would prefer the wider focal range of the 20-70 f4. It's about the same weight, size and price, and if you can step back, it would give you almost the same shallowness of depth of field at 70mm at f4 as you would get with this lens at 50mm at f2.8. That all being said, I know there would be situations where the need of an extra stop would trump everything else.

    I feel like one use for this lens is for someone who would be bringing the 24-70/2.8, but also some sort of a telephoto. This is cheaper and lighter than the 24-70, and if you also have a 70-200, you probably don’t need to fully cover the focal length gap. If you don’t need the 2.8, sure, the 20-70/4 makes sense, but if you do, I could easily see this having benefits over a 24-70 or 28-75.
    That said, the lens would probably be more special as a 22-45.

I know the Sony is a tiny bit smaller and shorter than the others and you get the extra Sony in-body features (focus breathing compensation, etc.), but you also lose 20ish extra mm of reach and it is a few hundred dollars more. Just wanting an extra opinion!

    Already have a 24-70 F2.8 GM II with a A7C ii, but suddenly feels like to have a lighter lens like this... But I'm worried about the focal length to be lost. Don't really like an F4 lens as I'm planning to go to Istanbul, maybe will visit a bazaar.

    Is it possible Sony is planning on releasing something like a 50-150 f2.8 to pair with this lens? That might make sense to have a light, fast, affordable kit with a smaller aperture range than the usual 24-70, 70-200 combo.

    I have the 20-70F4, and 24G, 40G, 50G lenses. This is an interesting lens for sure. If I didn't have the 20-70 I would strongly consider it. But it's easy to go down the fast aperture rabbit hole, with why stop at f2.8 get faster primes. And will say I do find I use the 20mm focal length a lot on the 20-70 f4. So yes, tempting but I think I will sit this one out.

    great decision by sony, as a compact lens, with very high quality, and the 70-200/2.8 is still a must have. Excellent also as a travel zoom.

  • @Crashentyre
    @Crashentyre หลายเดือนก่อน

    Not for me. Much more interested in the 20-70 f4. That covers all three of my favorites; 20, 35, and 60-65. If a zoom in the wide/standard realm doesn't cover at least two of those, it's not for me.
    Would love to see some more zoom options that start or end at 35mm. A 20-35 f2.8 and 35-70 f2.8 (or maybe 35-80 even?) would have been sweet.
    But the 16-25 and 24-50 don't do much for me.

    Does anyone else think it's time for an updated/upgraded 24-240mm? I'd love to see even 24-200mm at a constant f4 and hopefully a decent closeup capability... I'd pay up and deal with some weight for this.

  • @loldart
    @loldart 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It is a good option to pull people into full frame. It’s cheaper than Sony 16-55mm F2.8.
    You cut off the wide a bit. Yet you can then move to full frame in the near future and still have glass.

  • @chengong388
    @chengong388 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    My choice is still the 20-70, same size, WAY more range, even better macro capabilities. Definitely more important to get the shot, instead of getting it at f/2.8

  • @TheNitpicker
    @TheNitpicker 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    1/120 shutter for 60fps is wrong and too much. Just ask Gerald Undone but even without that it's obvious. The motion is jerky and there's no proper motion blur. Odd to see such a "rookie mistake" from Pros. The 180 rule simply isn't something you can rely on in all situations generally

    • @PetaPixel
      @PetaPixel  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Right, but I shot this format specifically because I didn’t have NDs and needed to cut the light down. 1/125 looks a lot better at 60P than 24P.

  • @juanm5907

    I don't quite understand the point of this lens either, especially in a world where the Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 and Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 lenses exist on E mount for less money.
    It doesn't seem to be optically exceptional.
    If Sony wanted to make a 24-50mm zoom lens, they could have made an f2 version that is like carrying three primes. But this one is neither fish nor fowl.

    • @MoonbearDiedHere

      The Sigma is really heavy this one and the 20-70mm f/4 g are much lighter and smaller

    If it was an f/2...then I'd be interested. And with the good but not elite autofocus speeds, I don't see a purchase for it unless you really need those 4mm at the wide over the additional 20-25mm you get with the Sigma or Tamron offerings.

  • @Daniel-o1l2e
    @Daniel-o1l2e 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Technical note: If the sharpness at 24 mm at the image egde would be limited by distortion correction, it would do so at F2.8 and F5.6.
    This lens is just badly corrected at the frame edges.
    Btw: It doesn't seem to be "compact" to me.

    It seems this focal range is proving popular among commenters here but honestly, I think I'd just find it frustrating. A 24 or 28 to 70 is more practical, and for specific applications like street (as mentioned by a few people here), I'm more comfortable with a single focal length. I haven't come away feeling like I'd benefit from this lens, but that's just me. I'm just pleased there's so much choice in FE mount lenses these days.
