What's your go to camera lens? Or what's a lens that you have your eye on?
I have the 28-70mm. I would say it’s my go to lens. I was debating if either I get the 24-70 or the 28-70.
Sigma DC 18-35mm f1.8 Art, but then I have the R7, not sure I would be happy with 24/28-70 on APS-C
Rocking R5 and RF 28-70 f2 L USM for almost 2 years now. Pre-ordered RF 135 f1.8 L IS USM
But RF 100-500 f4.5-7.1 L IS USM lives mostly on my R5
Fuji xf 16-55mm f2.8 its the same for full frame.
@@Wildlife__shorts The 100-500 telephoto lens is on my watch list. Very tempting.
My EF 24-105 f/4 L is on my camera 85%-90% of the time for my travel and landscape photography, and I love it.
Feel ya
I've been shooting with the RF 28-70 f2 for a couple of years now. It stays on my camera 90% of the time. So good!
The BIG lens! Such nice glass. 😋
Ima rent that thing for a Costa Rica wedding soon.
Very very heavy, but worth it in my opinion. I've stopped using my primes.
@@JonnyRay82 that’s a pretty serious statement to say you stopped using your primes
I have the RF 50 LRF 85L and I don’t use them now just keep the 28 to 70 on my camera at all times and on my other camera the 70 to 200 F2.0.
Tamron 35-150 f2-2.8 along with a 20mm 1.8.... The tamron is one of the most unique lenses ever and very versatile as well!!
I hope this will be release on Canon too.
I will pair it with RF 15-35mm f2.8 for the wider range or RF 16mm f2.8 if I need to save money.
I will surely buy this if ever release in Canon.
Last week I bought Canon R6 mark ii and RF 24-70mm F2.8 lens. I am happy with the product delivery and I am gonna explore this week. Thank you for your positive videos about lens. 💜
I agree. When I worked as a photographer back in the late 80s early 90s in the film age. I used a 35-70. It gave me the latitude I needed to get the job done. But I also had a few other prime lenses and zoom lenses in my bag. A 50mm 28 mm. 135mm for portraits I. Had another camera with a 28-200. And a 2x teleconverter. For the most part I used the 35-70.
I'd rather sacrifice the stop of light for the 24-105, I find the 24-70 a bit short, the 24-105 is my favourite walk-around lens, if I want fast, I forget about zooms.
With you 100%
Well . . . Tamron makes a 35-150 mm f2.0-f2.8. That is what I'm saving for.
f2.8 isn't a fast lens...
I'm sure the Tamron is a great walk around lens, it's not available for my camera, so there's no point thinking about it.
As an APS-C shooter, the Canon 17-55 f2.8 IS adapted onto my Nikon Z50 is what I always seem to gravitate toward
The one lens I have on my camera most of the time is RF 28-70 f/2. I still carry the EF 16-35mm f/2.8 and the RF 70-200mm F/4 with me when traveling and I pretty much got the trifecta. :D
While I agree that the 24-70 range is one of the most useful lenses, new photographers looking to instantly up the professional look of their images should also strongly consider the 70-200 range, especially at f/2.8.
I actually purchased a 70-200mm as my second RF lens, even before I purchased my 24-70mm. This goes against what I recommend in this video, but it was a choice I made intentionally, and one I explain in my lens video from last year: th-cam.com/video/xxsvRL34C4c/w-d-xo.html
@@AnthonyGugliotta When I made the switch to the R5 from my 5DMIV, the first lens I opted for was the 28-70mm F/2 simply because there was nothing else like it, and with the EF-RF adapter I was able to use my older lenses, including a long-in-the-tooth EF 70-200mm f/2.8, a lens that has been to Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. Every one of my EF lenses found new life on the R5. It was like having all new lenses and reinvigorated my love of photography. That being said, as I've phased them out and replaced them with RF equivalents, it must be said that the difference in clarity, speed, and usability is staggering.
@@jpeltzphotodesign would you say the new rf lenses are as great as they seem or ef lenses could still stick around for a few more years
@@harlovedeepsamra4182 The EF glass, particularly the newer generation L series, are nearly as good as their RF counterparts. For example, the EF 16-35mm F/2.8L III and the 70-200mm F/2.8L IS III lenses and others releasing around the 2008-2015 timeframe nearly rival RF lenses in sharpness, workmanship, and overall image quality, but because the distance between their final element and the camera sensor is greater than their RF counterparts, their image quality will never quite match the newer glass. That said, Canon's new autofocus system literally breathes new life in to those older lenses and makes them feel brand new. Almost gone are the days of focus seeking wide open on lenses like the EF 50mm F/1.2L. You'll get fast, accurate photos that are so tack sharp you'd swear nothing could look better, but when compared with the RF 50mm F/1.2L, you'll see the RF lens is a whole new world of sharpness and richness... but you're paying almost double for the RF lens. To make a long story short, there is a LOT of life left in the EF mount, particularly in the 'L' lineup when used with the EF-RF adapters on the EOS R system cameras. The EF glass is nearly as good, less expensive, and works amazingly on the new platform, but they just don't hold up to their RF counterparts.
@@jpeltzphotodesign Hey there, just wanna ask you something. I got Canon M50 ii and Sigma 30mm f1.4 lens. It's good for me(I'm a beginner photographer) but I need a lens that can zoom and with sharp image. Do you have some suggestions for me? Thanks in advance.
As an enthusiast, I shot with a 24-70 f/2.8 zoom lens as part of the Holy Trinity since my Canon D30 in 2000. However, according to the EXIF analysis, the 40mm is my most frequently used focal length and now I'm back to what I started out over 45 years ago, a 50 mm prime. But this time it is a f/1.2 (Nikon Z 50 f/1.2 S on my Z9) instead of f/1.8, while the 24-70 f/2.8 (or 28-70 f/2 if I have the Canon R1) is in standby mode.
As far as the lens I have my eye on, it is the 200 f/2 or a NOCT. 🙂
My first Canon EF SLR lens I purchased was my EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM back in 2004. It was a full time workhorse with nearly twice the reach of the 24-70 and the only reason it's been benched more recently is because of a problem with a buzzing stabilizer unit.
I've been a working photographer without a midrange zoom for 7/8 years now, and surprisingly I don't miss it. I shoot most portraits with a 70-200, and some with a 50. Interiors are done with a 24mm t/s or 16-35. When I really need a mid-range zoom, I rent or borrow, and this works!
I’m a 45-yr pro. The mid zoom is stupid and suck. My first Canon DSLR lens was a 28-70 and probably the worst lens I ever used. Sold it immediately, kit was 16-35 2.8II, 50 1.2, 70-200 2.8II. Then I realized Canon couldn’t do a good wide, so I bought all the Zeiss primes: 15, 21, 25, 28, a few 50s.
New photographers SHOULD use primes! I taught photo and it helps students think and compose!
friend, thank you for taking good pictures, they convince even more along with your words that this is really a very cool lens
I own a old signs 24-70 2.8 EX DG macro but I rarely ever use it these days. My go to combo is the R5 with Canon 16-35 F4 and Sigma 85 1.4 art. I’ll occasionally use a TTArtisans 11 2.8 fisheye for creative shots
12-40 2.8 Zuiko (24-80mm equivalent in 35mm terms) handles 90% of my travel shooting needs. I love it! Great video. Cheers.
I've been really eyeing this one for myself as my first "pro" lens (albiet a much cheaper lens than the ones recommended on this video! lol).
I am currently shooting with a ragtag bunch of Canon EF adapted lenses ( plastic fantastic 50mm f1.8 [36mm f1.3 with speedbooster] and 75-300mm f4.0-5.6 [55-213mm f3.0 with speedbooster]) and Olympus kit lenses (14-42mm f3.5-5.6 and 40-150mm f4-5.6).
I haven't been able to get a proper professional grade lens out of my current financial situation, but I would love to be able to get a proper standard zoom and telephoto zoom as I do a lot of concert and event photography and want to get into the sports photography space as well.
Do you have any negatives about the lens or would you absolutely recommend getting it as my first professional grade lens if I am looking to do so?
When I got the R5 I got the RF50mm f/1.8 as a freebie, I only had EF lenses and I was glad tp play with the camera without the adapter. Recently I visited Adelaide and took that 50mm lens as I was conscious about the weight and got my feet to do the zooming.
Cartier-Bresson did his street photography with the nifty fifty but I wondered if that was all he could afford, rather than use the 50mm as the first choice.
I have a Sigma 50mm f1.4 and I love it. I also have a RF24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM that came with my R6, and it is so great for traveling/easy snapshots. I love the huge range of focal length. Aperture could be a little better but it is good enough for most shots that I do.
Also: Canon now has a 24-105mm f2.8. I am very interested in that one.
RF 24-105 F4 is a really good and sharp lens. If you're on a budget, just buy 24-105 f4 and RF 35 1.8 and you are good to go :D RF 35mm is really sharp too.
That's a great combo!
This is the lens I take on trips
I first discovered this in 2018 visiting Ireland. After a while I found I always had on my 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. Even though I was lugging around my 70-200mm f/2.8. While in Scotland recently I always had my 24-70 attached and rarely put on the 70-200 or my wide angle. Sometimes you find out by experience.
This is a great video for those new to the scene. For reference, I explain to newbies that a typical smartphone (unzoomed) provides a ~35mm range. That simple comparison helps them understand what to expect with their new lense purchase.
No, the x1 camera phone is around 26-28mm
I have the 35-150 2-2.8 now and it’s a blessing and a curse. Blessing as it’s so damn versatile. A curse as I don’t use my Sony 35mm 1.4 GM and sigma 85 1.4 DG DN nearly as much now.
i feel you!
I actually own multiple vintage lenses because they give you great results for very little money. They tend to have some issues (my 80-200 f4 has a light leak at a certain level of zoom) which you will have to work around, but for their low price (20€ in case of that 80-200) it's totally worth it. You will just have to get used to manual focus and manual aperture setting and on some cameras just manual settings in general.
RF 24-105mm is my go-to lens. I use it almost every time when shooting with my EOS RP.
i bought a 24-70 2.8 lens and i absolutely love it.
RF 24-70 2.8L was my first purchase when picking up the R5. It's the focal range I used most on DSLR. So it was a no brainer.
Love my RF 24-70, besides birding, it is on my R6 about 80% of the time 😊
The Canon 24-70mm lens is definitely one of the best in my collection. It is a somewhat heavy lens, so I mostly use it for project work.
As someone who primarily shoots nature and landscapes and travel and occasionally shoots people, I opted for the 24-105. Would I like brighter f/2.8 aperture? Yes. But the 24-105 f/4 is pricey. I use the 105 end more than I do f/2.8. I find it handles portraits just fine.
Love your videos Anthony, I agree that a zoom lens is perfect for beginners. Im still on my starter camera a6400 with my 18-135 so with the APS-C censor it’s slightly zoomed in by 1.5. I have made an additional lens purchase the Sigma 16mm f1.4 to go wider and I love the wider aperture. Shooting handled at twilight is possible. Even though my camera censor isn’t as good as the A73 I’ve taken some wkd shots.
lol, you got exactly my firts kit year ago, when you commented. now i bought the sigma 24-70 2.8 and works realy well
i have been shooting on the Sony 24-70 f2.8 GM it is AMAZING! love it
My go to lens is a Sony 18-105 F4. It does absolutely everything.
I mostly shoot landscapes and wildlife so my go to's have been my 15-35 f2.8, 24-105 F4, 100-500 F4.5-7.1 and 800 f11 depending on the situation, but I want to get into more portraiture and product photography so I'm looking at an 85 f1.2, 28-70 f2 or a 70-200 F2.8 next
Very good video. I actually agree with everything you say in it. I own a 24-70 and 4 prime lenses: 16, 85, 135 and 200
Nice video! I’m rocking the 24-70 sigma on the Sony 7IV. The next one I’m looking at either 85 or 70-200.
What do you suggest for a nikon d5600 for a low light, wide-angle lense for vehicle/nature non-moving photos? I currently have my eye on sigmas 23mm f/1.8 aspherical but the zoom of a 24-55mm or a 24-70mm is very tempting.
RF 24-70mm is my main lens. I will use a 85mm and a 70-200 f2.8 but the 24-70 is on the camera 80% of the time
I use a Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 on my ageing 50D. Have a couple of others including 35mm and 50mm 1.8, but the 17-70 is pretty much all I use. I just wish I could choose the stop regardless of zoom, i like the F2.8 but don't want to be fixed on F2.8, but would like the option to use upto 70mm at F2.8...
The first L lens I bought was a 24-70 2.8. Found that I needed the zoom range more than I needed 2.8. So I sold it and bought a 35 1.4 and a 24-105 F4L. Would wanna go back! I love both of them! And they do exactly what I need them to do!
35 is next on my list, have u ever owned a 50mm?
@@harjas268 I just got the RF 50 1.8. It hits SOOO far above its price point!
So for a family shooter of kids would you get 24 to 105 or 24 to 70?
Nice video Anthony! Question: You suggested the 24-105 as a viable alternative to the 24-70. Is the aperture difference (f4 vs. f2.8) really a big deal? Which one do you think is more value for money?
Hi, I’ve had the EF version of the 24-105 4L (from very early on) and more recently the RF version (on an R5) and unless portraits are your thing the 24 - 105 is the one I’d recommend for travel having taken mine all over China twice, over North America twice as well as Australia multiple times and of course all over NZ. Its not the only lens I have by a mile but the RF 24-70 2.8 L is double the price of the 24-105 which buys you a lot of other glass. 😀 I think of the 24-105 as my Swiss Army knife of lens.
i have the canon RF L IS f4 24-105. having the extra range is great, If I really need the extra stops i can break out a newly rebuilt ef L 24-70 f2.8
Great video, as I am watching this, I look over at my Z9 and yeap a 24-70 however I do like my 85 and 105. I do miss my 16-35 FX that I had on a D850. Beautiful Calico cat.
Thank you for making this video 😊😊😊
Of all my lenses, the one I use the most is my Tamron 70-300mm (on a crop-sensor camera) but sometimes I feel frustrated because it isn't quite long enough at the long end.
I have a 28-75mm but it doesn't get much use, in fact my 10-24mm gets more use.
24-70mm lenses (or 28-75mm in my case) always seem to be stuck in that area of never wide enough or never long enough.
Very new photographer, current have a 50 1.8 and a 55-250 hoping to get a 16-35 next, definitely interested in a 24-70 after this though !
If you're shooting APS-C, the closest equivalent to a 24-70mm lens will be a 16-50mm lens. But beware "kit" lenses. They have too small apertures, and they usually have poor image quality. A better choice is the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN lens. Good image quality, larger aperture, and only a little narrower on the wide end.
interested to know in your vlogging shots, which lens is this at mm? is it 24mm or wider??
I use a 24-105 f4L with my Rp for everyday, the 70-200 f2.8 with the 5DII for portraits and the 7dmk2 with the tamron 150-600 g2 for wildlife.
I like fast primes: 24mm f/1.4, 50mm f/1.4, 85mm f/1.8. But I double them up by taking both a full frame and an APS-C body with me, and use the APS-C body like a teleconverter. My 24mm f/1.4 shoots like a 36mm f/2.1. My 50mm f/1.4 shoots like a 75mm f/2.1, and my 85mm f/1.8 shoots like a 127.5mm f/2.7. Both bodies are 24MP, so I don't lose much by switching to the APS-C.
I have a canon rebel eos (t7i). Which lens would be better, 24-70mm or the 24-105mm? I can’t decide on which on would be best for both studio & wedding photography
RF 24-70 I’d the most used lens I own. However I wonder if that would change if I got the 15-35 RF
Hi , can I ask you, where do you usually get your stuff? Like lenses and other stuff , Best Buy?B&H? Henry’s? Thanks
I started with a zoom but despite what others may feel I think I should have started with a prime. A prime forces you to learn how to frame your image using your eyes and your feet. Also prime lenses frequently with lower f-stops have more light passing through. I still use all my EF L lenses. Optically they are near identical in optical quality. Canon's EF-RF adapter work almost as if the EF lenses are native.
Hello Anthony i have a panasonic gh4 camera but without a lense. What kind of lense is compatible with it? I would like some suggestions!!! Thankyou.
Love your videos ❤️
Might have missed it, but this vid was obviously referring to full frame. The majority of the time my 17-55 2.8 is on my DX camera and 24-70 2.8 on my FX. I've been itching for a 1.4 lens though. Was set on a 85 1.4 for a bit, but thinking I should just get a 50 1.4 as its a bit more versatile of a length. I have a 50 1.8 so I would just replace it in my kit.
How’s your Canon 24-70 2.8, I find my zoom ring “sticky” compared to my other Canon RF zooms, it really grinds my gears that the QC on it is so bad.
I think, it is a most used lens, absolutely fav.
Currently running a 35mm F1.8 on a APS-C (52~mm), which gives me a useful lens with a lower apeture. But there are instances on my digital shoot I wish to have a more versatile lens. At the time, those lenses just werent available, and yes, more expensive then my prime lens. But I have used and is still in the hopes to get a F4 18-105mm for my APS-C.
I’m running the same setup on my a6400. The 18 - 105 lives in my camera for general use and I mainly use the 35 for shooting models
@@richardcousinsmedia3814 there is a sigma 18-50mm F2.8 that do also have my radar on.
what about the 24-105 f4 2.8 is great for a narrow depth of field but how many times do you narrow down to 2.8
I’ve been shooting over 25 years. I use the 24-70 RF 90% of the time now. It’s the Swiss army but the best 24-70 I’ve ever used. I will say, seeing the CanonRumors of a 24-105mm 2.8 coming out is going to be an instant preorder. The current 24-105 is a great lens but I’m just not impressed with the quality when compared to the 24-70.
I got a 18-50mm sigma on my sony a6400 which is basically a 24-70mm f2.8 on the aps-c. And it was only about $400. Really happy with the versatile lens
18mm on APS-C is closer to 27mm equivalent than 24mm, but I agree, it's a nice lens.
Do you recommend RF 15 35 mm f2. 8 for vlogging and selfies?
Is it good for landscape? I wanted a lens that is good fore shooting Cars, makes good portrait and is capebal of shooting Plants close up an farther away, but i also want to shoot landscapes from time to time so it should have a good depth of field i guess. For my Wildlife i use a 100-400 so i dont need it for that.
Would you say that the 24-70 is good for my goals? Or should i look fore an other or maybe 2 lenses to cover my shooting styles i described to you?
Sry for the bad english btw.
My go to lens is a Tamron 28-75 mm f2.8. I shoot people mostly, and I am a former press photographer and wedding photograph.
My most used lens is the canon 70-200mm f2.8 mark ii, I just like chilling a bit farther back and the f2.8 is fast enough for me.
Thats why I got the 17-50mm for the crop sensor camera
Bought a Sigma 30mm (for full-frame it's 50mm) f/1,4 for my Canon M6 mark ii phenomenal lens perfect for everything a nd when I'm shooting at night it's azing how low I can go with the ISO (500 to 1600 max) would recomend to every photographer that has camera with APS-C sensor
Just bought one for myself after shooting with a true first gen Nifty Fifty on my EOS 90D. Such an improvement in all ways from how loud it is to even optical quality.
What camera & lens did you use for this vid and did you color grade this vid?
If I could only keep one lens, it would be my EF 24-105. The best walkaround lens I've ever had, and using Canon's EF > RF adapter, it works as well on my new R6 Mk II as it does on my 1DX Mk III and 7D Mk II.
RF 15-35 24-105 and 70-200, my next will be the 24-70 for sure.
Tamron 16-300mm!!! with that, I've won numerous photojournalism awards and got a "Top 10 Finalist" in The Smithsonian's annual photo competition (with >400,000 entries). I've worked for the UN and lived/worked in 15 countries, and travel A LOT, and this is THE BEST travel lens, for shooting inside temples to outside animals. I don't like changing lenses (to prevent exposing the sensitive inside electronics to humidity and dust), so the 16-300 is the perfect workhorse for me!
So far I just have 2 lenses. The 16-55 that came with my Sony and a 55-210. Looking to upgrade to a full frame before buying more. Thinking a 35 f1.8 to start.
Been thinking about getting that lens but I gotta save up for it haha right now I’m pretty happy with my 15-35 rf f2.8
What lens should I get for my eos r7?! 😅
My second lent was a 18-135 F3.5 - 5.6 and I love it. It has a little bit of fish-eye but I can took some details. I just hate the difference between 3.5 and 5.6 😭
Witch Canon lens is good for wild life photography, waiting for your reply, Thank you
Can you make a video on full-frame lens on a crop sensor and compare it with full-frame sensor.
This is the one I want!
I'm looking to get into real-estate photography, and a common requirement is a 16-35mm lens. Could I get away by using your recommended lens, 24-70mm, and add a couple of prime lenses to cover the 16-23mm range?
My R3 and R6 MKII always travels with my RF 24 to 70 f2.8 the GOAT 🐐
Hi, just bought the canon r5c. Currently have the rf35mm and ef50mm. Also have an r6.
I’m looking to invest in an RF L glass to get the best out of both cameras. My plan is to have a two camera video setting for church, weddings and events.
I’m deciding between RF 24-70, 70-200 f2.8 or 70-200 f4. Because I have a 35 and 50 lens, don’t know if it’s smart to get the 24-70. That’s why I’m looking on to the 70-200s as well. I know everyone is different and the final decision is up to what I need. But if it were you, which route you’ll take.
Appreciate your opinion on the matter. Love your videos, you are killing it!
For static cam during ceremonies and reception we almost always use the 70-200 for the added reach. This allows you to place the camera off to one side and out of the way of guests!
That said for gimbal work throughout the day the 24-70 lives on my camera all day
@@AnthonyGugliotta Thanks!! ✌️
I got a R6 recently and I still have my EF 18-55 from my old 550d, do you recommend upgrading to a 24-70? Is that a big deal? (I mean, in terms of quality, sharpness of the lens, not the focal length range)
For an R6 a 24-70 or 24-105 is a great pairing. The 24-205 was the first lens I got for my R6
Get the 24-70/105. With the ef-rf adapter and a kit lens, you would not be getting the full capability of the r6. A better option would be to go with the EF 24-70 f2.8. It’s cheaper, but will get you closer to the sharpness of the high end rf glass
I still have my mind set on the 28-70 RF. The weight and girth of the lens doesn’t bother me. I have big muscles and am used to lugging around a big lens (70-200 2.8) Especially with the f2
I have this lens for years, it's very versatile, tack sharp and fast sadly it dies. If I can raise a budget for it I will still buy. In most of my portrait shoot nowadays I only bring two lenses - 85mm 1.4 and 80-200 f2.8. As I progress, I kind of lean towards image creation rather than gear.
tamron 17-70 at 2.8, just ordered it
Using a EF 24-70mm f2.8 on my EOS 5D mk1, There are times I shoot the EF 135mm f2 for headshot portraits.
I shoot mostly with my Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 EX DC in my R7 as my "goto" and I'll run the Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary for wildlife and birding. I also have the nifty fifty, that I'm wondering if I should get the Sigma 15-35 mm F1.8 Art instead for portraits. And I also have the Sigma 18-300mm f3.5-6.3 that I was using for mid-range birding, wildlife, and all-purpose.
Great collection of lenses!
What about the tamron 28-75 g2? It’s available here in Japan for pretty good price .
The new king for me is the RF 24-105 f/2.8 for overall general use, but the 85mm is still a great lens for portrait use.
Is the EF version of the lens also an good option? I have a canon eos 200D body. And everyone keeps talking about the RF 24-70mm.
Yes. The EF-version is what you'd go for on a canon DSLR like your 200D/SL2. It's also a fantastic lens and made popular (along with the 17-40 F4L) long before the mirrorless mess came about. :) You're better off getting a used version of the 24-70 EF L for your SL2 than changing bodies for this RF lens.
Where does the USM line come into play as 1k for an upgrade from a kit lens is too much for me at this time, or is the USM line obsolete at this point in time? I would love to own a L lens but the cost is way out of my budget.
How do you like the 28-70 f2? 😬
I’m shooting on Sony 24-105mm it’s f4 but on a A7iv it’s goooood
Can you suggest if I should go for Sony A6400(apsc) or Sony A7c(full frame)
Not considering A7iii because of the screen
Depends on your budget.
I think I can give you some insight and maybe help with your decision. :) (I'm from Germany, so prices might be different in your Country, but you will get an idea how much i spent)
In 2020 I got a used A6300 in an okay-condition with an Sony f4 18-105mm with a Cage and extra batteries for 800€. I bought also a used Sigma f1.4 30mm for around 300€.
All in all i was pretty happy with the lenses, but I shot a lot in dark enviroments (Festivals and a student night club) which brought the A6300 to its limits.
In late 2021 I got my Hands on a nearly new Sony A7c (1.400€). I could borrowed a Sigma f2.8 24-70mm for free for a few months and test it out.
Great lense and very impressive minimal focus distance. I shot a whole Lego-Stop-Motion film with it for an Uni Project. So if you are more into close-up photography or vlogging this is a great combo!
In Spring 2022 I Bought the Tamron f2-2.8 35-150mm and been shooting most of my pictures and videos with it. (for some rare projects I borrow the sigma)
The Tamron pretty heavy (1,1 kg) tho. But it's range is insane. I always wanted more than the 70mm on the sigma and I really liked the versatility of my old 18-105mm (APS-C) lens. Since there aren't many "Super-Zoom" lenses out there it was kinda no-brainer. I bought it new for 1.800€, but prices are going up. Most of the time I see it at 2.000€.
It kinda an odd combo because the A7c is so small, but with a smallrig cage the erconomics are a lot better and I really wanted a flip out screen again, after shooting with the A6300. (coming from an Lumix G70/G7)
I don't know if you will read it all, so here is a short version.
TLDR
If you have the money the A7c is a great camera. with its update firmware you get also animal eye autofocus in Video & foto.
With a cage you can increase the erconimcs a lot and use bigger lenses mor comfortably.
If you are more of an mainly video focused shooter, you should look into the FX30. With its APS-C Sensor it would be a great upgrade from an A6400 and you can even keep using your APS-C lenses with it!
As I don't own the FX30 I can't tell you anything about user experience, but I wanted to bring it up nonetheless.
If you have any further question, just ask. :D
I am happy with Tamron 35-150 f2-2.8 and I think I don't need something else it's the combo lens.
I think I need the 24-105 USM. I hope they come out with a II
My man left out the tamron G2 series! Absolute bangers for the price
Would buying a few prime lenses not gain both quality and still be less expensive (for those who can't afford lenses of several thousands dollars)?
I have canon ef24-70mm 2.8l ii, 35mm 1.4l ii ,85mm f1.2l ii ,100mm f2.8l is usm
,135mm f2l .sigma 20 f1 4 art and for travel canon 50mm f1.8 stm and tamron 28-300mm pzd vc.
Would the 24-70 be a wise choice to use on a Canon R7?
Because the R7 is an APSC or cropped sensor, a 24-70 would function more like a 35-100mm (it would be slightly more zoomed in) It's still a great choice for the R7 or R10, but if you do need a slightly wider angle lens for the types of photos you want to take, you might want to consider the 15-35mm
