Question, how would you compare this 28mm to the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 @ 28mm?
I use this lens on my a7iii along with a 85 1.8 for weddings. I have 72 weddings to shoot this year. A good few came over from last year also but still. Something is working with this lens choice. This 28mm will be on my camera for a long time to come.
I’m considering this same setup, plus my 70-200 f4. How has it gone so far, any regrets not going with the 35 f1.8 instead?
Regarding the corner sharpness testing, as you can see by the file names at 3:07 and 3:14 those are two different shots, the first one is focused in the center and the second in the corner. I also always check lenses for decentering to be sure that the left corner is representative.
That is what I want to ask! Thanks a lot for your video and the comment.
A7iii with 28 vs A6500 with Sigma 16 - would be great to see a comparison. Still deciding if I should upgrade from the a6500
I picked up this lens and an a7SII. It makes a great vlogging setup! It's about as small a lens as you'll find to fit these cameras. Probably very similar to the a7III setup you've got going.
Good and helpful review, thanks for the video!
My copy was pretty sharp at the center at f2. Probably sharper than my Sony Zeiss 35 14.
Great video!
Thank you!
This is my current setup at the moment and it great for gimbal work in my opinion. Awesome vid! Are you having an issue with the tamron 28-70?
Thank you, it really is great for gimbal use. So far, I have no problems with Tamron 28-75 at all.
This is this first lens i bought along with the A7iii and i'm satisfied especially for video, tho im not a pro videographer. Sharpness is decent and fast AF.
It is a good choice for a fist lens for A7 III, I also bought it together with A7 III.
very nice, to the point and informative video. will make my choices easier. thx
You're welcome, thank you for watching!
Thanks very helpful - Im not a Sony shooter but Im buying a A7C and wanted a smaller li lens that is versatile to go with it.
I just bought this lens for my a7iii, love it how light it is, and i think it will be good for point and shoot fast photos.
I'm glad you like it!
What do you think about this lens vs the Rokinon 24mm 2.8 for video use
Thanks for the video. Just subbed. 😀
You're welcome, I appreciate your subscription!
is this full frame lens? also is it good for video?
Thanks for this review! New sub. Just purchased A7 iii, but having trouble getting good quality versions of 35mm 1.4 lens to achieve nice bokeh. Will use for both video and stills and your review seems to suggest that AF on both is excellent. Are you achieving good bokeh even at F2 and am I understanding you correctly that the AF that the A7 iii is known for is supported on this lens?
You're welcome, I appreciate your subscription. I unfortunately haven't tested any of the 35mm F1.4 lenses for FE E-mount, so I can't help you there, but at that wide angle you need aperture under F2 to blurr the background. Sony A7 III autofocus is supported on all Sony E-mount lenses.
Can you do a FE 28mm F2 vs Sigma 16mm 1.4 Crop Mode comparison on the A7iii???
I generally don't recommend using crop mode on A7 III unless you don't have any other lens around it is a waste of A7 III potential. 28mm F2 is much better on A7 III, the difference is huge.
Thanks for the review. I was looking for this lens for my A73 for a trip to Europe. I only have the Sony kit lens which is terrible but will do as a walk around lens. I was looking for a low light lens but I'm not sure how this compares to the 28-70 at 28mm focal length at f3.5 which is the largest aperture. Any other lens ideas for a small travel lens for the Sony FF. Going to Budapest, Austria and Romania. I'm heavily invested in Canon with L lenses but I wanted something small for the trip and leave the DSLR at home. Plus I like the 4K video option on the Sony.
Samyang AF 35mm F2.8 is great pancake lens with versatile focal lenght - amzn.to/2MrYLpU that one is very compact and travel friendly.
Nice review. I’d like to see a comparison of the Sigma 16mm 1.4 on A6500 vs this lens on the A7III. I get the feeling it would be a draw in low light capability and overall the sigma might have the edge in sharpness? It’s one of the reasons I think I’ll keep the A6500 and wait until Sony release a body with 4K 60
Thank you, it is possible that I will include it in some of my videos.
Can you please make a comparison between the a6500, a7iii and the Panasonic g9.
I have alredy made a comparison between A7 III and G9: bit.ly/A7IIIvsG9 comparison between A7 III and A6500 will be available this week.
hi,tnx for your great videos,i have a question,i need a sharp 4k camera,whats your opinion about olympous omd em10 mark 3?my budget is low
I would prefer Panasonic G85, here is my review: bit.ly/g851year
Would you think this would be a good walk around lens for street and toddler chasing?
For street yes, for toddler chasing, probably not, but I don't have any experiences with that 🙂
Hello I ask you a good tip is this lens for the wedding event photo
Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 Di III RXD
I just bought an a7iii and I'm having trouble deciding between the soon to be released Sigma 20mm 1.4 or the 24mm 1.4... I really want wide angle but the 20mm has no thread for filters and has a fixed lens hoods, and also weighs 2.09lb.
But the 24mm can use filters and weighs 1.46lb.
My question is, is the 4mm focal difference worth getting the 20mm for having a wide lens? I'm looking to use it for vlog purpose/gimbal work and don't want anything too close.
That depends purely on your preferences, there is not much that can be recommended there. I would personally prefer 24mm.
Korrze have shot with both lengths quite often, the wideness difference is quite noticeable to the point you'd have to find out for yourself what purpose you want the lens for. I can say the 20mm is sharper than the 24mm but theyre both so sharp it doesn't even matter, especially if its just for video.
20mm enters the "ultra wide" zone where things get some perspective distortion rolling and can get some dramatic looks, especially for fast gimbal movement. 24mm however is a bit more standard so you dont need to be as careful with the corners and peoples head.
Best way to find out though is to rent them out and try for yourself, or rent out a cheap 16-35 f4 and play with the two focal lengths in different scenarios to see which is more suitable. Maybe even ask or borrow a friends camera/lens/setup with the same field of views available.
Your sharpness test doesn't make sense to me. You get a landscape shot with the lens wide open and then you check corners too?... You should be using something flat where you can actually get the picture in focus. I'm not trying to be rude, I've watched many of your videos and I'm a sub.
As you can see by the file names at 3:07 and 3:14 those are two different shots, the first one is focused in the center and the second in the corner. I also always check lenses for decentering to be sure that the left corner is representative.
The Hybrid Shooter better, but personally I'd use something flat. Thank you for clarifying that.
Has anyone used this and the tamron 24mm f2.8? What one should I get?
Hey))) do you think x2.3 times the price is worth for 25 2.0 zeiss? In comparison with this 28).
I have never used Zeiss 25mm F2, so I unfortunately don't know.
Damn... you have my dream watch 🥺
How is this lens in dark situations on the sony a73 and on a gimbal?
It is good, AF still works very well.
I have the sony a7 3 and a sony 28mm F2 , and not sure if the lens is supposed to click when you put the sony lens on?....It will not click and I am getting a lens warning that it is not on correctly, but I can only turn it so much before its too tight, but no click.
Also, when I turn on the a7 3, the camera has a small jolt to it and when I pick it up from the desk, it also has the same small jolt, is it supposed to do this!??
Thanks for the review! What do you think about this lens compared to the Sony/Zeiss 25mm F2? Do you think the 25mm is worth the extra money? Or that the extra 3mm makes that much of a difference?
You're welcome, I have never used either of Zeiss 25mm lenses, so I can't compare those to this lens, 3mm on the wide make quite significant difference, 25mm is a bit too wide for all-round use IMO.
Shon Myles there's the new Samyang 24mm F2.8 arriving soon - it's almost like a pancake lens.
Mark Shirley I will try to make a review of that one as well.
Good review. Do you still own and/or recommend this lens?
I don't have it anymore. It is optically average lens, so it depends on what you are looking for.
What would you recommend in or around that focal range? What did you replace it with, if anything? I'm looking for something roughly 28mm, but could go 35mm if the lens was much more compelling.
I use Sony FE 24mm F1.4 GM instead, which is outstanding lens, but quite expensive. Sony FE 35mm F1.8 is also a good lens, but nowhere near as good as 24mm GM.
Great lens, out of my price range right now. Thanks for the info however!
Good video
Thank you!
Should I get this for A7III or keep my Sigma 16mm f 1.4?
If you have A7 III, I recommend this one, since you can only use Sigma 16mm in Super 35 mode.
I sold my sigma 16mm because i wanted a light prime. Just got this 28mm.
Does the camera correct distortion when shooting video?
Yes, it does.
The Hybrid Shooter Thank you. That’s pretty cool!
you are from Bratislava?
How does the 28mm f2 compare to the tamron 28-75mm f2.8?
Optical qualities are very similar at 28mm, but keep 28mm F2 because of the size.
The Hybrid Shooter I‘ve ordered the Tamron 28-75mm already. I don‘t want to switch so many lenses. Thanks for your answer!
You're welcome!
Sony FE 28mm F2 or sony zeiss 35mm 2.8?
I haven't tested 35mm Zeiss, so I unfortunately don't know.
If you are interested, can you please review the new Samyang 24mm F2.8 FE pancake lens? Thanks.
Yes, I will probably make a review of that lens.
The Hybrid Shooter Thanks!
In my experience, Sony usually installs a metal vanity shell on their $400+ and up lenses. The Sony 85mm 1.8 also has this shell. Other than the metal shell, the entire lense is plastic. I really wish sony would use metal construction in some of these lenses. Even the 50mm and 35mm 1.4 ZA are full of plastic,
Thanks for letting me know, I have never seen inside of Sony lens.
The Hybrid Shooter lensrental.com has a tear down page, they have already done the 55 1.8, 70-200GM, 50mm 1.4 and the 35 1.4. Check it out if your interested.
www.lensrentals.com/blog/category/technical-discussion/teardown/
Jason Elmore true, my 55mm broke. The metal mount in the lens is connected with the plastic inside of the lens. Really bad construction. I almost would think Sony does this on purpose.
Vsetko super, ale nechces tie testy robit aj po slovensky :D inak super
Ďakujem, na Slovensku na tento formát nie je publikum, ale plánujem širšie zameraný technologický kanál, kde bude aj niečo takéto.
Considering you were already using it on your a6500, the Sony FE 28mm F2 seems like a pretty good value indeed! (sony lenses are still a bit expensive imo though.)
I bought this one to use it primarily with A7 III, but if you have both FF and APS-C Sony camera it is kind of like buying two lenses for the price of one.
Image stabilizer isn’t needed on the lens because the A7iii hold that feature.
I'm not sure about that, there is IBIS in A7 III, but it is not very effective.
Sony 28 f2 or Samyang 24 f2.8?
I haven't tested the Samyang yet, so I don't know. 28mm is more universal focal length though.
plus its f/2, a whole stop brighter and bokehier.
Guys I have one Sony A6000 that brings the lens 16-50mm , I want to know and learn more about photography and I want to know if this one is good enough for portraits and also landscapes. Can someone recommend or not ? Thanks!
On APS-C camera I would no, portrait lens is basically the opposite of landscape lens. Sigma 16mm F1.4 is the best APS-C lens for landscapes, for portraits Sony 50mm F1.8 OSS is very good.
Thank you sir. So in this camera here Sony FE 28mm f/2 its good for what ? sorry about the ignorance :)
It is explained in the beginning of this video.
I like the review and I´m gettin the lense, but I´m here for another reason... I can´t open arw files from my a7iii on LR as you did.
I´m using LR CC 6 and 5, I have allready update the plugins and any stuf on my computer and I get nothing, can you tell me if there is any thing I need to do to get my arw files open on my Lightroom please?
It´s very frustating, I have change from Canon 6D to Sony A7iii about 4 weeks a go and the best I can get from arw its a convertion to dng... but it´s not the same.
Thanks a lot for your time.
For some cameras you need to have newer LR version even though you have installed the plugins.
I love your accent mate 😬
Thank you!
I want to use the Sony 28mm F2 on a gimbal for video. Do you recommend me selling the kit lens to buy this? Thank you
It is very suitable for gimbal use. It is a wide angle prime lens so will loose the zoom range.
Ah thank you. With Zoom range I can zoom a bit with the Super 35 mode and also using clear image zoom to get a bit more so I think the zoom range will be okay. In terms of lens quality is it much better than the kit lens.
Thank you
Depends on what camera you will be using it on and whether you intended to shoot stills as well or just the video.
It is the A7 III and I want to do both video and stills. Last question. For video where I am going into a dark room to the bright outdoors do you recommend that I use auto ISO so that the light changes smoothly or should I change the aperture and leave it on manual ISO. Thanks
10 megapixels for stills in Super 35 mode on A7 III is not that great, you might want to get some other lens. Whether you should auto ISO depends purely on your style, I persoanlly use auto ISO most of the time.
🔥Brother how did you get so much money to buy all the lenses🔥✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
By running relatively successful business.
Nowadays you can rent gear for reasonable prices.
Not in this country.
The Hybrid Shooter well deserved
I can't believe how underrated this lens is compared to the price and the quality. Absolutely awesome in my opinion.
Not really, it is optically one of the worst E-mount FF lenses, but it is cheap and small.
@@TheHybridShooter really? My copy was a little bit less than excellent. I guess the quality control is not that good with the cheaper FE lenses.
I don't think so, the optical design is just compromised by the size and aperture, it is not a quality control issue.
Bratislava yeeeeeeh!!!
That's right!
I studied there for 5 years and i consider it my second home...thanks for the amazing video and the memories...take care my friend :)
You're welcome, what did you study here BTW?
Pharmacy
UK? I studied Management in the same building 😀
Im using it for a little bit that 1 year and i dont like that lens. I bought it specifically for mountains.
Dude, you've gone all Sony. You've lost we Panasonic users...shame, it was good while it lasted.
No, I haven't gone all Sony, I still have a lot of Panasonic equipment and videos coming up soon. At the moment I am building Sony FE system, so there will be more videos about Sony on this channel for a while. It was the opposite when I got the G9 in January.
The Hybrid Shooter it’s a balancing act. A lot of us save and invest in something like the GH5/G9 and cannot afford to buy an Aiii ‘upgrade’ when it comes out. We are invested in our system. But I understand the needs of building a channel and covering the latest gear. It’s a funny thing though, when you have what you thought was the best camera, and something new comes out you suddenly feel like the poor relation. Hey ho! I still love my GH5.
The Building Sheriff, the Hybrid Shooter said 'there will be no winner this time' and that was appropriate. This was not a horse race. Regarding the G9 what he failed to point out is that the 4k 60p video provides a hugely smoother product in and of itself, not just for slo-mo, which for many, myself included, given the subject matter, is critical. Right there for that reason the A7 III is simply not an option. He also did not point out for wildlife shooters, especially those venturing off the beaten trail, who need mega-zoom lenses going with the A7 III is hugely heavier on the wallet and the back. Still, a useful comparison very well presented. I would like to view more clips of what he actually shoots.
The Building Sheriff I understand that, but the primary purpose of this channel is to provide people with information, that they might need to make a right choice if they intend to buy something, if the equipment that you have suits your needs well, there is no reason not to be happy with it just because there is something new on the market.
MultiJohnish I didn't fail to point that out. Regarding the 4K60p, if the footage is not interpreted to 24 /25p it does not provide smooth "product" just the opposite. 16 min. long comparison of two cameras is really no palce to explain what 4K60p does.
The prices of telephoto lenses are not a secret, so anybody can take a look at them, but FF and MFT telephoto lenses that are on the market, have completely different light gathering capabilities which is why they are not directly comparable.
I have compiled the tests and scores for 100 Sony E-Mount lenses from many different sites. The Sony FE 28mm F2 scores amongst the lowest scores of any lenses ever tested, with the worst chromatic aberration and the worst distortion. However, sharpness is good.
Thanks to the in-camera corrections those test fortunately don't matter.
The CA matters a lot. I got rid of the lens cause I could not remove the CA from video footage.
What camera did you use it on? There is no CA at all after correction with A7 III as you can see in the video.
Zangeef Fangsteen I have the lens and the distortion and chromatic aberration are not to much of a problem as is the bokeh quality (terrible for some scenarios).
