I bought the 24-105 f/4 a number of years back. I always thought it was second to the 24-70, but the price is right and the quality is superb. The OSS always astounds me and the minimum focus distance is great. All in all it is one of my favorite lenses as well.
I've been using the 90mm G Lens for so many different types of videos lately, and I honestly love everything about that one too. Great video! Definitely been wanting that 50mm 1.2!!! So buttery!
Excellent layout of the 24-105. I got that one due to its fantastic on-the-go versatility, cinematic performance and reasonable price. I can always switch to one of my older lenses for high aperture needs.
Had not realised the focus distance of the 24-105 is so short for getting some excellent shots. Will start using that this weekend already! Good video, thanks!
Love the shots with the sunset on the road! So epic. That new 24-70 is amazing.
It truly is an epic lens
Armando thank you! 🙏🏻
Stunningly clear explanations and comparisons that brings real value to any photographer.
THANK YOU!
Great lenses! And great video! I use canon and when I see this video I feel canon need to speed up their line up of alternative lenses to the most fancy ones. I use the equivalent to the Sony 24-104 f4 and it’s perfect for video. F4 on modern lenses is better than one might think. Applauds to Sony for doing such usable lenses.
As a videographer I’d say the linear manual focus on the g master is worth the extra price. That is so important when using my focus motor
I was looking for that kind of video! Thank you that much! Choosed the 24-105
How’s it been? I do a lot of videos for my high school basketball team was wanting to purchase that lens wanted some opinions
rocking my FX3 + FX6 with the 24-105 and 16-35 F4 PZ, will get that 50mm f1.2 soon!
I think you should check out the 35mm 1.8 by Sony as well. The focus on that lens is absolutely fantastic and the size is just lovely small. I believe Gerald Undone uses it pretty much all the time for his videos.
Great video! I'm pining for that 50mm GM. What I really want to know is how you approach lighting - I love the way you've crafted the image for your A-Roll.
Good call! Was happy to see the 50 1.2. I love it with fx3!!
Excellent review! Keep up the good work!
Love it, my 55mm Zeiss 1.8 is a B-Roll king as well!
I’d love to see more with the 24-105, if you don’t have it on the channel already. Most of the videos I’ve seen that utilize it are not flattering and make it seem pretty dull, but it looks much better than usual here. I had written it off, but might reconsider.
Nobody does it better. Love ya brother!
Thanks brother ❤️, loved it & want to use that 50mm 1.2 🔥
I love Armandos videos! One of my favourite TH-camrs, with very informative and beautiful videos!
Thanks man 🙏🏽
This was so useful! Thank you- just switched to Sony. Hoping I don't regret it...
You’re the man I just got my 24-105mm g yes in 2023 lol…progress 😅 thank you.
The best video i've seen in youtube SO Far !
This was really helpful, thanks!
Best explanation about the lenses 💯👏🏼
Heck of a list! Haven’t used the new 16-35PZ or the new 24-70, but I can vouch for the others! Sold my 24-105 to fund the 50GM and hot damn! That 1.2 is such a great lens.
Bro How Sony 24 - 70?
Thank you for doing this Armando.
Amazing video review as usual. Thank you so much, gonna buy that 24-105
It’s such an incredible lens
I keep the 20G, Sigma 24-70, and the 50GM in my bag and I feel I’m set for most situations. I would love to get my hands on the 16-35 or 24-105 to test out, but the next on the list is a telephoto or macro lens. I always appreciate videos of other videographers to see what they’re using.
but for cinema camera like fx3, 3rd party non cinema camera can destroy the sensor of the camera😅
@@joshuamichaelnainggolan What
Hey! Quick question. I was looking into getting the Sigma 24-70 because i keep hearing so many amazing things about it but I’m a little hesitant because it doesnt have any OSS. I have been using an old Contax/Zeiss 35mm lens on my a7iii but good handheld footage is almost impossible to get because of micro jitters. What’s your verdict on shooting handheld with the sigma 24-70mm? I would love to know. Thank you
@Lachsox none of the other 24-70s have OSS, so it won't be any different.
Nice summary. And I hope we will see 85GM II soon.
Very helpful , thank you ❤️
Great overview man! I have never been a huge 50mm guy but I really want to rent the 50mm 1.2 and it might take me there LOL Fantastic video!
Man the 50mm is the 🐐 you should definitely rent it and you’ll fall in love
Awesome vid! Very informative
I just love the image coming out of 50mm GM lens..
+1 on the unsung hero 24-105. A fab swiss knife lens!
I just bought the 20 105 thanks some much
Excellent video Armando!. Straight and clear way to showcase a product. There is an old lens that have seen going around in FX3 users, the FE 4 / PZ 28-135 G OSS. Have you used it with the FX3 and if so what do you think of it? Cheers!
bro, this is gold. i was struggling to find a good lens for my fx3. thanks for the insight.
which one u got?
Which lens did you choose?
Awesome Stuff!!
good call switching to sony
did the same
love it
Superb review. 👍
+1 on the versatility of the 24-105! OSS really helps. If only this was a PZ!
Great video Armando! And man, where's the PZ 28-105 F4. That's such a nice range, and if I'm not mistaken, it also barely have focus breathing.
Gracias Armando por este video ya se lo quiero
your handheld stuff is phenomenal, i'm still trying to nail it! Usinfg the R5C it has no IBIS...
The 50 1.2 is awesome 😎
Armando my good friend. I'm sold on the Sony Fx3 and its native lenses. I currently have a Blackmagic Pocket Pro 6k but it was a nightmare to set up autofocus with lidar on RS3 along with rigging everything together. It was one stressful road block after another that left me wanting to leave cinema. I thought to myself, there had to be a better solution and Sony was it with superior AF and compatibility of RS3 gimbal. Blackmagic really fell behind with a lack of AF feature. Just makes no sense that Sony was able to do it but they could not. Your video was immaculate quality with great video capture of subject and emotion. I am a recording artist that films my own videos and this Sony ecosystem is it.
Always have great videos! I agree with the 24-105mm lens, I sold it and I regret it now
Same! But I had bought a great condition PZ 28-135 and just couldn’t keep both (because I “needed” to buy the 50GM) Sold the 24-105 and do miss it at times
The 50mm 1.2 GM is amazing.
Awesome video, thanks! I’m between the 24-105 and 24-70. The biggest question I have is, how much better is the 24-70 in extreme low light at 12800 iso? The shot you have in your video with the 24-105 at 12800 iso looks like it already has a lot of practical lights around, but I’m trying to find out if it can hold up with a single led in pitch dark (or moon lit), or if it just won’t cut it compared to the 24-70 2.8.
I can’t find a single video comparing the two in super low light conditions. Thanks!
I am surprised you didn't include the 35 1.8. in my experience it has the best overall, it's fast, great quality, almost no focus breathing, never miss the focus, great price, very portable and light.
24-70 covers that focal length and IMO F1.8 vs 2.8 with Sony having incredible low light is not worth having a prime like the 50mm F1.2 which actually is super creamy
@@mondobytes but the price difference is so massive, if someone is just starting out or on a budget, it's a great option to get a 24-105 and a couple of cheaper primes than to get a 24-70 GM
Have g master 24-70 lens was thinking getting this 35 mm next but comments here are saying no sticking with my 24 lens now I know the 24 lens has better blur probably than my 24-70mm
Now I see some like the 50 lens - but I just watched the Sony g master 85 mm looked very special and added way more intimacy the 24-35
but all you professional shooters are what would you go with for shooting video? What would be your next lens? I want a lens where I can go even closer and tighter and being super sharp focus and I wanted to be a G master lens.. Thanks
@@donnas8408 85mm 1.8 is an excellent choice and sharper than the GM version and wayyyy less expensive.
@@mondobytes But the 50mm Sony has focus breathing issues yes?
Awesome video, i recently subscribed to your channel
I was debating between the Sigma 24-70 and the Sony 24-105, but eventually went with the 24-70 because of the f2.8 and very happy with the Sigma
I think the next one I want to get is the Sigma 14-24
Thanks for a great video. Would advise on where did you get the battery door with the cable slot to fit the Sony FX3?
Great videoand great lenses. Curious about the cage you have for your FX3. And with OSS and in camera stabilization your shots look super smooth especially in off speed. What cage are you using? Thanks very much.
thank you bro i.m watching you from iraq ❤
I own 3 GM lenses and love all of them, especcially the bokeh rendering with GM lenses is so nice and clean.
I am excited for the rumored 20-70mm f4 from sony. I mostly miss some mm on the wide end with my 24-70, if the IQ and AF is great this would be one of the best allrounder lenses on the market imo.
Hi! Did you try out the 20-70mm? If yes, can you tell me please your experiences with it?
@@999slawter Hi, unfortunatly i didn't get the chance to try it yet.
Armando, buen noche, primero quiero felicitarte, realmente admiro tu trabajo. Segundo, me podrías recomendar un Camera Cage o jaula para una Sony 7SIII? Realmente necesito un Smallrig que me de comodidad de agarre, estabilización y versatilidad para colocar elementos externos. Se que hay filmaciones donde requiero movimientos más rápidos y bruscos en los cuales no se usa un Gimbal, por eso espero me recomiendes un Camera Cage bueno. Estaré atento, muchas gracias...
thank you so9 helpful
As much as I love Sony, and as much as I'd want to use the FX camera's, non of their E-mount lenses suit my ENG needs. What I would need is a lens that has at least 10x optical zoom, powered zoom and focus and if possible the ability to add a zoom grip and focus wheel. I would love to use the FX6 for ENG work but I couldn't do it simply because I'd probably be switching lenses all day. Which is not ideal when you're out and about with presenters and journalists and something can happen at any second. If you have any tips or recommendations, I'd love to hear it! Otherwise I'll have to stick with renting expensive ENG camera's like the PXW-Z750.
Thank You
"Stopping down" means the iris is smaller and the f stop number is numerically higher, "opening up" refers to the opposite, larger iris opening ie. lower numerical number. Love the review!
after buying the 24-105 I sold everything else I had. maybe someday we'll get an update with the updated focus motors and a bit smaller/lighter
Hi, big fan and you have helped me massively as I was starting out a couple of years ago. If you have time I have a question for you. I have an 85mm and 24mm G Master currently and considering trading in or selling the 24mm for the 24-70mm you demonstrated on this Video. My question is, apart from the aperture slight difference would I lose anything by moving to a zoom with the same starting 24mm? From what you had said here I would say no but just want an expert to confirm. I love my 24mm, but I’m torn on whether to get a 35mm which is that me area I’m missing or go for a zoom lens to give me all options. The 85mm is staying as for portraits it’s unbeatable. Advice would be appreciated thanks !! And man, did you really get messages saying you used a gimbal in that other video, it’s soooo obvious you had someone following you in the reflection :-) Happy new year
Using the best of the best cameras. I’d like to see this with like an a7iii. For those who can’t afford that beast of an fx3 or similar
Today I traded my 18-105 f4, viltrox 23mm f1.4 and the pancake 16-50 kits for the 85mm 1.4 gm lens and they gave me $75. I was shocked that they even traded me for that. Paired with my fs5 I'm slick in love 😂
Best quality I've found so far, for the Sony e-mount are the Zeis Loxia series... Really great glass! Sharp, good contrast and beautiful color... Haven't tried any of their cinema lenses though. Of course those are all manual lenses, without auto-focus, but at least from the tests I've seen, the Loxia look a little bit better than the Sony FE and G-master series, IMHO
Please explain if I take the 24 70 lens and use it at 24mm vs using the 24mm fixed at 24. Will the video using each be very, very similar . A 24 70 zoom seems way more useful vs the 24 fixed. What do I gain using the fixed 24. I only do video on an fx30, 4k60 for a model trains channel, shooting indoors, well lit.
I like to film with all you’ve mentioned!
but for my run and gun set up, 24.4gm stays on my rig.
24-105 for video all day long. So convenient. I have all other lenses but mostly reach to 24-105. Not fun changing lenses during the shoot.
Would love to start seeing film makers considered for these high end photography lenses by adding 0.8mm pitch gear teeth on the rings. Even just as an upgrade option from Sony, canon etc
my conditions are a little different than most filming. Norm its eve with a cam light and norm a lot of quick movements. What would you suggest. Currently I have the FE 3.5 - 5.6 /28-70
Hey there! I wondered what handle-microphone-adapter combination you are using. Can you link that?
What would you prefer for documentary filming? Solely the 24-70 G Master 2, or a combination of 24 1.4 G and 50 1.2 G?
For a user who is primarily into street, nature and portraits along with a shooting considerable amount of videos. Which lens do you suggest? 24-105 Sony or 24-70 2.8?
"Stopping down" means closing the iris (increasing the f-stop number)
Great video though :)
Hi Armando ! On a lower budget lens list, do you recommend the Rokinon 50mm f/1.4 for video on a Sony camera?
I've used pretty much 90% sony/tamron/sigma lens on my A73S. If I have to choose only one, I would definitely go with 24/1.4 G Master for video. Super compact for travel and small gimbal. Super good image quality. F1.4 for blurring background, low light and night photography. 24mm is also quite universal for outdoor, indoor and even vlog. I find myself barely use my 35mm 50mm 24-70, 16-35 24-105 for video since I hate exchanging lens and 24mm can do almost 80% of what they did when shooting video. I only carry an 100-400mm when I really need to shoot with telephoto lens.
Nice, 24 GM is indeed beautiful. My choice for the ultra wide is the cutie 20 1.8. It’s performing really well for both photo and video on A7RIV with a bit extra head room for cropping.
i dont have a7s3 , i have a7iv , so i need to shoot in aspc 1.5x crop for 4k 60 . İn my case would you consider 14mm gmaster instead of 24 ?
@@zweiche Keep in mind that the 14mm gm has no conventional filter thread which is damn annoying for vnd filters for video. Dropin filters or gigantic 100mm nisi filters in the front are not quite as nice to use. Just get the 20mm 1.8g if you use apsc.
@@andreas7278 that was my main concern about 14mm. yeah I sometimes shoot at 60 fps for slow motions so I have to use asp on a7iv , other times just 24 - 30 fps so no crop. I guess my best option is 20mm as u said
@Blue Zither
any issues with focus pulling or breathing?
Great ever Sony lenses..... What about PP8 setting??
Great video Armando! Has anyone received any updates from Sony on the availability on the FX6? I've had one on order for months and haven't seen any units move. Was considering trying out the A7SIII If it was available.
I too was waiting for a FX6 to be available.
But… it looks like they won’t be available to purchase until December this year.
Ok My dear friend I bought the fx30 last week I have a few Sony lenses what do you think the best lens for now to buy ? Since I am in a budget trying to save for fx6 to buy . You posted a few lenses I want your honest opinion on the lens to start with ! Thx in advance
Amanzing Video :) Would you be able to tell me what do use on lease? Is it ND filter or bloomy filter? I can see the ring on it. thank you
Hola Armando y el formato APSC yo uso una a6600, que me recomendarías ?
Waiting for your thoughts about the new firmware for the fx3! Now it should be Netflix approved right??
The new sigma 28-70 is phenomenal…
My fav is the 16-35GM. I’ve tried tamron and sigma versions but they just can’t perform like the GM. Over priced but absolutely superb
Vouch !
Sigma hasn’t released a 16-35. No doubt when they do it’ll be on par with the GM - as we’ve seen with the 24-70
@@kazlepek6552 I agree. And half the price
@@pudsboi5203 Sigma 16-28 2.8
@@coreymach_ never tried that but I like the 35 on the Sony
The 24-105 is so underrated. I only wish the 16-35 G came with OSS like the 24-105.
Power zoom and size is probably why. With Warp Stabilization any footage shot with 16-35 should clean up easily since it’s wide
right? I'm sure they wanted to keep the weight down and also not compete with their zeiss lens
Nice.
Can you do the same video with none Sony lenses? Something with the Sigma prime lenses orTamron vs Sony?
Would love to combine the Sony 24-105 with the Sony A74
im so amzed about the sample videos is there any tutorial on coloring those video ?
After many TH-cam videos, reviews, and my own thoughts and needs I settled on the 24-105mm f/4 and 20mm f/1.8. Mostly run and gun and wanted that range the 24-105 gives along with a wide prime lens that also gives me a better low light option. To add to that the prime is light and more compact. I’m becoming a minimalist when it comes to gear and these two lens is more than enough for my needs. So I say right now! Haha.
Hey man I have 20mm 1.8 thinking of adding the 24 to 105. How’s this combo going for you ?
@@AbelandVictoria Hey! Sorry, I haven’t used them much at all, yet, and not in tandem 🤦🏻♂️ Wish I could provide you some good feedback! I mean I still feel good about them? Lol. Happy searching.
I’m Ukrainian military press officer I’ll have A7 IV and I I'm trying to decide on a lens.
Sony 24-70 GMII or Sony 24-105 F4 OSS? Both lenses are not too heavy and have weather protection. The advantages of the 24-105 are optical stabilization and longer range. But GM2 has 2.8, a ring aperture and when I see how sharp and high quality the GM2 image is, I don't even know if it makes sense to buy the older 24-105. What do you think? I shoot both photos and videos mostly on a go. How’s a quality and sharpness of 25-105 image compare to 24-70 2.8 gm2? What would you recommend?
I have sony Alpha a6600 camera which i use for cinematic videography and music videos and I'm a little confused which lens to buy whether to buy 24-105mm F4 or the 24-70mm F2.8 GM II?
What lens did you use for this video in your studio and what distance is it set at? Thanks. 6:13
For my a7s3 best prime lense sony 35 1.8 for video)
in the video 3:35, you are using a manual focus gear on the Sony lens, may I ask which brand makes the focus gear?
That’s downtown riverside 🥹🎥🔥
Do you have the link for the music videos you shot? Would love to check them out.
Sir, can i zoom using zoom rocker with 24-105 f4 oss lens without loosing quality
Armando ❤️❤️❤️ 35 mm 1.2 or 50 mm 1.2 for cars video and some landscapes pls i need your advice
Hi does the Sony fx3 have focus assist or focus peaking? Thanks 🙏
Hi! The filter size on 1635PZ is 72mm, but I cannot find 72mm polarpro Peter Mckinnon II. What size are u using and how?
