Hey Jason, thank you so much for this video! I ordered the a7III. What full frame lenses would you buy for a travel (Japan) trip? The a7III has already eaten up a lot of my budget! Can you help me? Greetz from Germany!
Hey Jason, I’m getting the 16-35 f4 for my A7iii., I mostly do videos, do you have any advice about Nd filters? Should I get a fixed ND or a Variable Nd? If fixed ang advice is how many stops should I get? And the filter Size. Should I get a bigger ND or just buy the 72mm for the Lens? Hope to hear from you. Thanks
Whenever you release a video it’s an automatic watch! Never skip over those notifications of yours! Legend!
thanks Andre!
The Sony 10-18 f4 works on full frame from 12-16mm. It vignettes at 10mm and 18mm but 12-16 is totally usable and it’s small and light. Works great on my A7r
Thanks for the tips bud, really looking into getting this camera
I cannot speak enough on how much this video helps! You literally covered everything I needed help on. Thank you for your time!!
Got my preorder in within 5min of the preorder so hopefully I'll get mine at launch! Going to use the 10-18 for wide angle video needs for now, and going to pick up the 24-105. Then down the road hopefully pick up the 12-24 for ultra wide needs later down the road. Can't wait to get the camera next month!
12-24 is amazing...but costly:)
Hi jason
I preordered the sony a7III, and am still not sure about my choice of lenses
First i hv a limited budget and cannot go for G master lenses
I am an amateur who love to shoot everything and i may help my friend shooting weddings.
Well my choice is:
85mm f1.8 for portrait
28-70mm kit lens for travel
28mm f2 for video
Total for 1200$
Please let me know your thoughts
And btw i love your video, keep up the good work
Thank you in advance
Looks like you covered all topics before I buy a7iii :) Thanks SO mUch!
My most important accessory for the A6500 was a Smallrig cage with a wooden handle. It made the camera usable, since it was so small. Moving to the A7 series a cage is still key -- the Zeus cage is super cool and the handle on it makes for a super cool aesthetic. I hope the A7 III is a good fit in those cages, they add a lot of modularity to the system and make it easier to handle for sure.
A more affordable option for new sony user, are the rokinon/samyang AF lenses. I personally own the rokinon 14mm f2.8. I think these are a great option for the folks on budget but still want the advantages of a Mirrorless system. The rest of my lenes are all sony brand and love them!
Thanks for a great guide video on the essentials needed.
For now I'll get the 28-70mm kit lense camera bundle and essentials like the 2x batteries, screen protector, 3x SD cards and a camera bag.
Ok I was completely sure about get the 85 1.8 but I tried the GM and the 1.8 both at the same time and I changed all my mind about the 1.8. I mean, it’s a good lens if you want an affordable portrait lens, but the quality differences are there. It was too much for me. And I choose the GM. And about the 55 1.8, the 50 1.4 is better and the difference between both lenses are evident. About the other things I’m completely agree with you. The 16-35 GM is just a beast, and I would recommend the 35mm 1.4 my favorite lens by far.
I wouldn't actually recommend putting APS-C lenses on the A7iii. For exclusively video, maybe.... but for stills you're cropping your 24MP full-frame sensor down to about 10MP, which might be too low-resolution in some cases.
absolutely!
So my Canon mount Sigma 18-35 1.8 would be ok for video? which is why i brought it
I haven't tried it, but I think you are still downsampling a bigger image to 4k, so, yes it should still look good. But perhaps not quite as good as if you were downsampling the full-frame image to 4k.
I assume you're manual-focusing with that lens? I loved the images but rely on AF-C for video so couldn't use it myself!
A power bank with usb-c power delivery. Great for charging on the go!
doe! How did I miss that!!
Sony 85mm 1.8 is a must to this list, affordable and quality glass!
Agreed, one of my favourite and most used lenses
I've been using this on my 6500. Used it for indoor kids shops. Not to shabby
As a guy coming into the Sony world from Canon how would the Sony 85mm compare to Sigma's?
I just remembered the native Sony mount Sigma isn't out yet but either way for those who have experience would you still recommend the Sony 85mm over the Sigma?
For portraits I have my 90mm 2.8 macro since I do macro shoots too. Quite happy with the portraits, but still wondering if I should get the 85mm 1.8 also
Great topic, I am personally considering a switch from Nikon and was wondering what lenses and accessories I'd need. Thanks for the great video and appreciate your opinion.
You're welcome, Julian!
Julian Spring sony lenses will bankrupt you. Check out their cost before you switch. What if Nikon bring out a new mirrorless for your lenses? What and see what people think when they get these sony in their hands.
Kevin Swan I have been shooting with Nikon since the early 90’s and will not jump ship that quick. I am following the rumors about a new mirrorless Nikon and waiting as long as possible. The huge focus area and eye auto focus sound amazing on the Sony. This is the first non-Nikon model that has caught my interest.
I bought the $35 Takstar shotgun mic off of Amazon a few months ago for use with my DSLR. It's cheap, but the audio is good quality. I used it to film audio for a lot of video projects I did this year and had no complaints over sound quality. Look it up if you want to save a bit of money as opposed to buying Rode.
It should work fine with the a7iii, but I have no idea as I haven't gotten my a7iii yet.
Thank you for the video. I've been shooting Canon since 1998 and I've just pre-ordered the Sony A7 III. I also order the strap and will look into the other accessories. Thanks again...
Already got my 85 1.8, SD cards, and extra battery!
NICE!!
Thanks Jason, my A7III is on the way. Cheers
Dope video, thanks bought like 3 things you mentioned. The strap look like a life saver but what’s up with the hat where we get one they dope!
I confirm. *55mm/F1.8* is amazing ★★★★★
Returned *85mm/F1.8* which was more than great but for me 55mm is this sweet spot for all-around prime (FF and cropped) Worth every ¢
Between *55mm/f1.8* & *24-70mm/f2.8 GM* I have all I need ...for now 😄
Awesome!
Did you find yourself missing the custom button on the 85mm? or was this just a choice of preferred photo quality?
Why you didn't suggest the g master 24-70mm? cause its expensive? I watch a lot of your videos and you suggest that can be the best first lens to have.
The Sony a7iii was my first camera after shooting Nikon for over 30 years, about 6 months ago I also bought the Sony a7Riii.
My prime lens are Sony 85mm & 50mm, then I bought the Sigma 24mm,
Excited to get this camera
honestly you're just making me throw my canon gear away. I didn't wanted to believe that Sony owns the game, but you had turned into a fact! thank you for sharing your knowledge with us
Sony has been coming up in the mirrorless world. They stuck with it long enough even when nobody believed in it and then BAM! Here we are today
The Peak strap is so expensive, you can get the miggo Speed Strap with Quick-Release for less than half of the price of the Peak and it works great.
I was even looking at the Joby straps too.
You forgot to recommend the cool sony hat you are wearing. Good job with videos keep them coming.
I was wondering about the Sigma 16mm 1.4... thanks for sharing about the ability to use the a7III in crop mode!!
Don't forget, using the Sigma 16mm crop mode is the same as using a 24mm full frame.
I must say, you ‘ve nailed it. Thanks.
I love the 85mm Sony f/1.8 and the 70-200mm f/4 G OSS lenses but, for a mid-range zoom, I chose the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 which is arriving tomorrow...
For adapting Canon L glass, the Metabones V has been the best adapter so far when testing on my A7RIII. You do lose some AF speed and functionality, but overall works very well.
How about lens protector? Like hoya uv filter?
That was so smooth,that you don't need background music. 👍
Well, the sigma new 9 lens for e mount, I am interesting the most in 2018.
Wait for Sigma Art E-mounts to be released. Get 24-35 f2, and 85mm f1.4.
The quality the 85mm Art gives rivals the 85mm G-master at a fraction of the price.
I've got that lens on a Nikon camera right now and the sharpness & DoF is intense!
Straps i'd recommend the Sling: www.kickstarter.com/projects/restrap/sling-magnetic-camera-strap-and-lens-cap-holder-by?ref=user_menu
It was a Kickstarter project but they do retail now. It has a magnetic locking system, is sturdy, and yet easy to detach.
I have a few Peak Design products and I swear by their quality, but their camera slings a little too lackluster for me.
Love your videos man! I bought the SOKANI just because of you. Cheers!
thanks man! I enjoy using mine every day!
that Sony FE 50mm f1.8 is actually better considering the Money ... its a true 50mm and as sharp ... AF ist e bit louder but that is totally ok ... use it all the time ... its great
Yup, your missing something. I'd say buy an *Aputure M9* light. Phenomenal light, super affordable on Amazon for $45 bucks, comes with a clip on case and two gel filters to change the light temperature and it's super bright! It's the perfect on the go light for situations you might need to add a bit of light to a situation. Worth every penny and I recommend getting two. Mounts to a hotshoe mount on the camera and also can be put on anything that can clamp on a cell phone. Target sells super affordable cellphone holders so couple that with the light and you got a good thing going!
I moved to the 50 1.4 zeiss Jason! It is AWESOME you gotta try it
so BIG!!!
That's what she said.
Also I prefer as a strap the think tank and the domke thin ones that have a grippy rubbery surface that prevent slipping when wearing rain or windproof jackets. Op tech sells quick release clips that can be used with most straps.
Do you know if Sony works with Sigma to make the lenses focus as fast and accurately as native lenses? Or... Should we just wait for the reviews? Thanks for all the time you spend experimenting and letting us know what the results are. RP
Sweet review content Jason 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It might not have the time lapse in app, but if you set it on 1fps, it does the job.
6:33 screen actually already has laminate and those scratches are on the laminate not on the screen. That laminate can be removed easily - revealing a shiny screen. Put on another laminate or a glass protector afterward is still a good idea.
Alpine Labs Spark as remote/intervalometer is awesome
Thanks for the suggestion, I will check it out!
thank you so much for you video , what about an affordable tripod?
Sigma recently came out with a 19mm 2.8 wide angle for $199. I'm considering it.
Great video as usual! Keep up the awesome work 👍
Jason, really enjoy your videos. You’re my go to Sony guy. BTW, what mic did you use in this video? Are you an Adobe editor? Curious if you stray away to othe options. Would like to see a video on how you manage your videos.... setup, software and tips? Keep up the great work.
Great info Jason! Thanks! Wish I would have seen this last night so I could have gone to the demo day in LA. Well, back to listing my Canon gear on eBay!
I appreciate the time and effort you put in your vids!!!
Selling my Canon and buying this! Now picking a lens... 50 or 85? decisions, decisions...Thanks always for the helpful info!
Another option for timelapse. The Meike grip (fits A7III, A7RIII, A9) comes with a wireless control that works as an intervalomter, timer, and bulb control. An exact copy of the Sony grip, but the Meike costs $120US vs Sony's $348US (though sale price right now for the Sony grip is $298 at B&H and Adorama) Meike grip: www.dpreview.com/news/1283463527/meike-s-new-battery-grip-for-the-sony-a9-and-a7r-lll-comes-with-a-wireless-remote
Sony 70-200 f4 will be even better on this camera because of the better ISO performance.
Sorry to bother you but I am actually looking around to find a video camcorder that can fit an external wireless microphone to film pranks with. Or if you have something better in mind then please dont hesitate to let me know. I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks again
Perfect video for me. Great videos, thanks Jason!
UV Filters? you mention protecting the LCD glass, but not the actual glass lol
thanks for the video. i fired canon.. i pre ordered mine with the 50mm 1.8 instead of the kit lens. the 50 has good reviews and is good as a start up to sony line. and its cheaper lol. also for a start up zoom lens im getting the 18-105mm aps c lens. basically this will be a budget set up...
The only thing I would add is that a 16mm apsc lens is the equivalent of 24mm full frame.
Any news about the lack of play Memory apps? Will it be fixed?
What do you think about the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 that’s coming out Jason? Do you think it’ll be a formidable budget alternative to the 24-70 for professional work?
his guess is as good as yours
chuck90504 considering that Jason is good at gathering insider knowledge about Sony mirrorless products, and that he possibly could have talked to Tamron peeps while at WPPI, I believe that his best guess is actually better than mine :)
It was behind the glass when I saw it in person haha. Will report back if I hear anything
You didn’t mention the 12-24 f4 for vlogging. Any opinions on it?
Oops! Great one as well
Useful，Already order A7III
If you are using Canon native EF lenses then the Metabones V EF-E adapter would be best for AF performance and features. If you have Sigma glass in Canon mount then the MC-11 adapter is the best one to get for AF speed and feature set.
You missed... if I insist... a compact flash light with trigger units and a link for that LCD screen protector sheet made by Sony. Also no link for flashlight "in" the video. Otherwise, another excellent video. Thanks Jason.
Thanks! I fixed it!
As for the light, I linked the guide instead of the product
need to know lenses for event and wedding photography plus flashes for sony a7 r3
dude love the HAT!
Jason, do you not recommend the 12-24 g lens as a wide angle zoom altenative?
Syd the point if this video was to advise people new to Sony or at least new to Sony full frame. If course the 12-24 is great if you’re looking for a more advanced Sony users wide angle lens.
I love your videos - I just picked up the A73 from a local bestbuy (Openbox $1,499) Couldn't believe the discount!! Now, all I need to do is get some lenses. Is the sony 16-35mm f4 going to be the best investment?
amazing! very helpful
Love your videos! What lens would you suggest for video? You have talked me into leaving Nikon and buying the A7III, so now I'm looking for a lens to go with this camera. I will be using this for about 95% wedding video and 5% photography. I really like a versatile lens that does not require a lot of changing, but Is still able to do some artsy shots for the details/pre wedding, and can zoom when needed. Go easy on me though, the wife already is not too happy with another camera purchase! PS. Hit me up if you ever need a 2nd or 3rd shooter, been looking for a reason to visit the West Coast! Thanks again for all you do!
You did a great job! I already have the Sony Zeiss 55m f1.8 and it is great for portraits. But I'm looking for an excellent lens for video shoots... basically sit-down interviews. Can you recommend a killer lens for that (and one I can use with my new Sony A& III???)
I've that 55mm f1.8 darn Sharp
Hi Jason. Congratulations on your channel.
I wanted to ask you something. When you use the gimbal and you have to record a wedding that objective recommend to use? I would like a lens that was angular and can zoom up to 50mm to capture moments with more detail. But when the focus shifted, the gimbal would no longer be balanced and I would have to turn it off and calibrate it again.
How do you do it to not lose a lot of time with these settings?
Is there an objective that changes the focal distance without modifying the balance point of the gimbal?
I do not know if I explained well. I am Spanish and my English is not very good.
Thank you very much Jason, I hope you can help me.
Doin' the Lord's work here, thanks brutha.
Just the video is was finding for sooo long !! new sub :)
awesome! welcome!
should i just stick with the kit or buy the tamron 28-75 f/2.8. Already such a tough decision to make because it keeps getting more and more expensive.
Would you get the Sony 24-105 f4 or the new Tamron 28-75 f2.8? These would be used as my everyday lens for an upcoming trip to Peru.
No reviews on the Tamron yet so hard to say. Specs wise, Tamron is more appealing
Hey man love the videos! This is my first Sony and my main question is whats up with time-lapse can you do a video how to do time-lapse on A7iii maybe using both the sony intervalometer and that Alpine labs Spark accessory supposedly good for time lapses... I know S/Q mode but looking for some real time-lapse goodies with a Slider one Pro for backpacking John Muir Wilderness with the A7iii Thanks for all the informative videos and i'll def check out that even in LA Cheers!
Just the video I was looking for
Could you do the same video when the Sony A7siii is released hopefully now in April?
I've had the same 34Gb Sandisk SD Card since I first started with a Canon t3 I think it's been 5-6 years now
My 3 lenses for the A7iii:
1. Sigma 16mm 1.4 (Crop Mode)
2. Ziess 55m 1.8
3. Sony FE 85 1.8
Unless those new Sigma Art Lenses turn out well I don't see the point in spending more money or buying more lenses.
jason, when will tamron come out with a 70-200mm f2.8 for sony?
Great video
I need some advice. I have nikon d5300 with 50mm 1.8 lens (80 mm on crop sensor) and kit lenses. Now i want to upgrade and do events and portraits. I want to switch to sony a7iii and have nikon as my backup camera. What lenses should i get for wedding and portrait shoots, should i invest in one good lens and rent the 2nd one? Or buy couple of lenses
My budget is $ 5000 CAD (maybe $ 5500).
Why dont Sony do a FE35mm F1.8 ? .... good list of lenses Jason ... Ive just upgraded from a6500 to a7r3 ... & have the Sony 85 1.8 & the samyang 50mm F1.4 for model/portrait work
hey, love the video! recently my A7iii broke down because of using it in the rain, I got a raincoat on it while shooting all day, but it breaks down in the end because the temperature suddenly climb up too high when I put the camera in the car, my question is how do you protect your a7iii while shooting in a bad weather? thank you.
Wait, the A7III don’t have a built in intervalometer? I can’t remember the last camera I’ve had without that feature. Weird!
55 1.8 Zeiss or 85 1.8 FE? Gonna pick up one in a month
So would the zeiss 1670 lens not work on this camera?
Love the video. Great overview.
Great advice
How about the M mount adaptors Jason?? Thanks for your videos!!
I'm not familiar with that
The Sony 28-70mm is subsidized with the purchase with a Sony a7 series camera.
I subscribed and nearly watched every single video since i bought the A7III. Thank you very much for that!
Can you tell me if the PIXIE tripod will carry the A7III with the 24-70GM?
You forgot mentioning about on camera flash....
Swamy Dayanand he didn’t forget. On camera flash isn’t something he uses so he’s not going to give advice about it.
there is no on camera flash on this camera.
thanks for the like. Your content is awesome. By the way any suggestions on a good speedlight to get? I plan to get the Flashpoint Xplor600/Godox AD600.

is this what you use jeremy?
ND filters are missing in this video. :)
Appreciate your vids man.
jason...watching your channel will make me homeless....hehe
I'm there with you man!
