Sara, check out Sigma 16-28mm f2.8. Small, lightweight, fantastic lens. If you do, let us know about it in a vid! Sigma also makes a lightweight 28-70 f2.8 lens, worth check it out.

Oh well, let it be, you talked about it near the end 😅
So do you introduce the 3rd party in the space - the 2nd Shooter? Is that Mark? Watching you, so often is like watching (to quote Alanis Morrissette) "another version of me" except that whilst we are both wives, I also have one. Also TH-cam business question what is the percentage do you get from Printful on every sale or perhaps what is their percentage if they do fulfillment or if you do fullfiment
BTW did you know that Zeiss also makes the lenses that are used in all the new Extreme UltraViole(n)t Chip manufacturing machines that for example TSMC use to make the main chips in your IPhone. The modern world could not exist without Zeiss
One thing I found interesting with the Sony vs Canon thing is that some people don't really know the difference they just want to complain about it. I got hired to film social media content for a few creators that use Canon only and I use Sony only, so there was about 2 month stretch where all their content was shot on Sony and the comments people left were "See this is why Canon is the best, content is looking great" and "Got to love those Canon Colors", etc.
I love watching all the comparison videos TH-camrs do. Watched one the other day - FX6 vs BMPCC 6K Pro - managed to guess the correct cameras, but dang... The TH-camr had used an awful BMPCC 6K LUT with green colour cast. Goes to show it doesn't really matter about gear, it is always 'how you use it' that counts really, and end consumers wouldn't really know the difference between an iPhone or and Arri... Sadly
What I don't get is the arguing over brands , All and I mean all cameras these days are great , loyalty is such a "mine is bigger than yours " mentality I have Nikon , Sony and Canon and each are equal now
I've used Nikon and Fuji , never used Canon, and now Sony FF, in my experience, you can take great pics with either one, I changed from Nikon to Fuji because of DSLR weight and , at the time, they were lagging in the mirrorless offering, got tired of Fuji JPEG oversaturated colors (RAW processing in LR is a known issue) and settled on Sony, and never even considered Canon because of their reluctance to let other third party lens vendors to let them in , Happy with Sony.....I also heard that canon glass is more expensive than Sony's ... I've seen some great photos from pros using canon .......and Nikon and Sony.....any other tribal arguments is just silly
Can listen to you talk AND SHOW camera stuff all day. Show and tell is so much better than people who just tell and don't show. Great video as always!! Also while I've never shot Sony, I regularly use regular image straight out of the camera and people love the look. And I only shoot with a cheap nifty 50
Great job on the video Sara! Thanks for making it. The lighting in this one is positively dancing in your hair when you're surrounded by the vicious greenery. What a great shot. Well done.
my huge problems with this videos is that for many many years people praised the 16-35 (or insert another sony lens here) and when the new one comes out, the flaws of the first one always became very apparent.. so that's why we shouldn't believe influencers in the first place, not now not ever.
@juventinos to be fair, she’s primarily comparing the 16-35 gm vs gmii, the newer model is usually always going to be an improvement over the old model. The newer model is going to have better features than can sometimes make the older model obsolete. So yea, when the 16-35 gm came out six years ago it was the shit, six years later… there’s a new kid on the block with more bells and whistles
@@SharpSh00terMedia you clearly missed my point. and no. a new lens doesn't ever make a good lens obsolete unless that lens sucked in the frist place ...
18:56 This is one reason I'm considering switching to Sony or maybe just adding Sony, easier to bring around and carry around vlogging than Canon full frame.
Jeez, I wish a skate company had someone like you shoot some of the videos. You really nail a quality level that I'm not used to seeing in skate videos.
I've been considering this one for my FX3. I only have a 24-70 GM II which I use for everything, so I guess do I really need that extra wide angle 😅 at events like CES I have to step back a bit far from things to get shots even at 24mm, so the answer might be yes!
The Sony 14mm is such a cool lens, but a little niche due to how wide it is. I just picked up the Viltrox 16mm 1.8 and I love it!! I've only used it for photo so far, but would definitely recommend!!
I love Sony. Didn't think I would since I had Canon cameras up until then. But since I bought the a7ii in 2018 I have been really pleased with the colors Upgraded to the a7siii last year and now I really can appreciate the colors and flexibility of the camera. Would love a shorter lens, but for now I have a 24-105 G f4 and a 200-600 G telephoto for getting birds. I also have a 35mm Slr magic t1.3 that I rarely use anymore because it's manual focus. One day I'll sell it to put it towards a 14 or 16mm prime for Astro or just some fancy b-roll.
Omg thanks for that one, same decision here. Been hanging with my Zeiss 1635z f4 for years now since my A7II. After considering third Party lenses like Tamron as well, I think the 1635 2.8 GM II is my next Lens to go with…
Canon M6 mark II + Viltrox speed booster + Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM (F2.8 with speed booster). It's tiny, a hair shy of full frame and just fun. Plus portable external battery plugged in via dummy battery adapter means one battery that lasts all day.
I love this camera-nerd style of video! Why not make a second channel for the really 'deep-dive' gear talk videos and get the best of both worlds? I think you would be surprised at the number of people who would be interested in that! After years and years of 'enthusiast phone photography' 😅 and flip-flopping on whether to get a 'proper' camera setup, I decided on Sony. I got a budget oriented setup of a 2nd hand a6100 and a new Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 and OH MY GOD I love this combo already. I can honestly say it is more camera than I will be needing for a long long time but I love seeing the different looks you get from different lenses. I don't see myself getting a G-Master lens any time soon but I am definitely looking at a wider lens for my next one - potentially the Sigma 16mm prime (f/1.8 I think).
I started with a used Canon 5D Mark II. Then I upgraded to a used Canon 5D Mark III. Then I bought a used Canon Rebel T7. Today I use a new Canon R100. I have an EF 100mm macro lens and an EF 24-105mm zoom lens. I use an adapter to mount my EF lens to my R100, since the R100 is RF mount. I plan on saving to get the Canon RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM Lens for my R100 camera.
I've been rocking Canon for a minute now, but I'm definitely thinking heavily about switching to Sony. I've been leaning more into video lately and Sony is really investing in their cameras for video and social media stuff and that's basically what I do/need.
Yes, I want one and pretty sure I will eventually buy this new GM mkii. But I'm in no hurry so will wait for a half decent deal or maybe a Black Fri event. I had owned the Sony GM 16-35 f2.8 mk 1, but found it quite heavy, bulky and whilst OK it didn't really excel much beyond circa 24-28mm when compared with other lenses I tested. I kind of anticipated this release, so sold my mk 1 about 3 months ago (taking a reasonable loss). I then bought a neat, relatively compact, Sony 16-35mm f4 PZ - pretty good. I do like the uber compact PZ for video on my FX3, but less of a fan about f4 - especially for stills use. That's why I'm thinking of also buying this new version as well as keeping my PZ albeit that sounds profligate and a bit crazy! I like to shoot primes, when I can, for something specific (not travel, as it's too much heft and hassle). I currently own and plan to keep my GMs 14, 24 and 35mm primes and a G 20mm. I too have had a history of buying and trying wide zooms. Originally starting with a more affordable Zeiss 16-35 f4 bought when I first started using Sony, late 2018. I then compared to the excellent Tamron 17-28 f2.8 - super value and typically sharper than the Zeiss, but flawed as it didn't go beyond 28mm. At that time I didn't yet own a 24-70 f2.8 GM mk ii. Both wide zooms got sold when I compared them to a GM 16-35mm f2.8 mk 1. However if not for being limited at 28mm then, the Tamron might have been a keeper. It was an excellent lens optically, albeit it felt a little 'plastic' and lacked Sony's GM build quality.
This is Sara in her true geek mode and we’re here for it 😂 I have a Canon and lenses currently but I will be swapping to Sony in my next upgrade. I also love a good wide lens, as you say it’s so helpful for VLOGs. Anyways great video as always! 👌
Hey Sara, As always VERY nice video! 🤩🤩⭐ I too am Sony shooter I recently purchased the 70-200 GM (II) which I think is great. I do have the 135 GM 1.8 which honestly I VERY like since the dept of field is lovely. I VERY much liked you going through all the wide lenses as you did, that was great, thank you!. I was considering these 2 lenses: 1. 14 GM 1.8 2. 12 - 24 GM (just not all in love with price or size) The 14 because of your video is probably out from my selection. I do have the 20 G 1.8 which i like but I do not love. The 24 GM 1.4 I like - first world issues to be clear. Maybe I just might grab the 🔴16-35 GM (II) and 🔴24-70 (II) and call it a day until the🔴Sony 300mm f/2.8 GM (they were testing it at the World Athletics Championship in Budapest, Hungary in August) maybe announced in May 2024. I do prefer Fuji color science though but not switching systems for many reasons. Thanks For you REVIEW!!
Great video. Thx for tthe honest opinions on the differences of the Sony 16-35 lenses, I have the Zeiss 16-35, very happy, but always want that more open aperture.
I'm using Canon through and through, since I've been using Canon for a long time. Was about to switch to Sony if Canon hadn't announced the R5. I think most things regarding the "too sharp" stuff or "too vibrant" stuff is just coming down to applying a LUT. Which is also, why I mostly think the colour as a main talking point is BS nowadays. You can create presets and LUTs so that your camera/lens combos match (almost) perfectly if using RAW or LOG which doesn't really take up more time 'cause realistically you're not changing gear too often. So, I feel like this has blown up into a topic which really isn't a big deal. I'm always happy if companies are innovating and improving gear.
Your beautiful green eyes look great in the green outdoors, or is it the lens🤔👀👍😍 Nothing against Sony but still can't beat the feel of a Canon in your hands. When it comes to images can anyone really tell the difference between images produced from high end Nikon, Sony or Canon cameras, there all so close, heck even Fuji does a great job, especially with those greens💚
I shot with Nikon "F" cameras in the 80's and 90's. Switched to Canon in 2003 with the 20d. Thought of moving to Sony. The whole sony photographic evolution has been amazing to watch. Shooting with a Canon 6d markii. I have relied on my creativity to make my images stand out not the equipment.
i shoot on a a7r2 and rokinon cine lenses and fx6 and the same lenses, The Mk 1 and 2, are not worth the upgrade BUT if you don't have it go for it. hehe. Also, Ms. Dietchy loves new tech, i enjoy the videos.
@@hi.imgonner5813 Sony has done a tremendous job of reinventing the mirrorless camera. I love seeing the lenses in action. Sony has mind blowing technology. I would love a Sony 645 camera. Much like the Mamiya 645.
I remember when you had that wide angle look and it was a unique look to your tech videos compared to the other tech youtubers. So while it may not have been "the most accurate" it was a stand out look.
I have the Mark 1 16-35 and love it and the 20mm 1.8, buuuuut I hope that Sony improves its 12-24mm 2.8 and please make sure we can add a ND filter on the front!!!! That would be awesome!
This is awesome video! I love it! I’m Canon fan but I also like Sony, Olympus and Nikon. At the moment I take pictures with old Canon DSLR and old mirrorless Olympus. If I had the money I’d get Canon R5.
Excellent lens review thanks Sara! I've been Canon since 2012, moving to Sony this year (currently just FX6 and 24-70 G Master). What you said about the novelty of certain wide angle focal lengths wearing off combined with the size/weight challenges are spot on. A contributing factor to shift from Canon was the outlook that my new RF mount lenses may be impractically HEAVY. The RF 24-105 on my Canon R6 is already making me wonder if I should pack an FX30 for next trip. I'm leaning towards the basic 3 standards as G Master lenses (16-35, 24-70, 70-200). Thanks again!
My 16-35 gm ii is on preorder, can't wait to get it. My only gripe is that Sony lenses and cameras can have a 'plasticy' feel to them. Other than that, Sony is awesome. I like the images coming out of the Sigma lenses better than Sony though, but Sony colors have come a long way.
Dear Sara: Great videos and lively energy! Two words, though ~ • Slower • Enunciate With a scintilla of effort managing your pace and diction, you could be a bigger YT star. B
My travel kit has the original 16-35mm GM and primes at going up to 135mm. I can't see upgrading since I don't have an issue size, weight or minimum focus distance. Looking forward to Sara's take on the new A7c2 and A7cR.
I always enjoy your videos, Sarah, and while I am very interested in this new 16-35, what really struck me was your comments about Sony’s images looking “clinical”. I’m a stills shooter, and I’ve seen a number of videos lately that relate to the “clinical” look of photographs, talking about applying negative dehaze and negative clarity to make images look, what?, better? I find the whole concept a little absurd. These current cameras from Sony or elsewhere, along with the lenses that are available today are capable of creating unbelievably sharp and highly detailed videos and photographs. Isn’t that what we all are expecting from this current imaging technology? So to complain that a camera’s image is too good or so precise that it’s boring or needs to be dialed back somehow seems crazy. Don’t we want to capture absolutely the best image possible in camera instead of expecting a camera to capture an image that is “soft” or “creamy” or looking like it was shot with Velvia or whatever? If you have captured the highest quality image data, you can always do whatever you want to it in post. Software today is so sophisticated that you can make your image look like whatever you want, but don’t you want to start that process with the best possible image data? I want the images coming off my camera to look “clinical” because then I know that this incredible piece of camera technology is doing what I’m expecting it to do.
Re Canon lens sizes, yep. But an added benefit of size...people get out of my way, esp. when I break out the RF 28-70mm f/2L USM (and I don't need to carry 2 extra lenses) 🙂
Tough decision for me, I have the excellent 12-24 2.8 GM, but the 16-35 GM2 with its smaller size and compatibility with circular filters is compelling. If it’s as good as the 24-70 2.8 GM II, I might have to buy it. Thanks.
I’m torn between the 16-35 f4 PZ for my FX30 and the new GM. The word salad focusing will be very nice in certain situations. Thank you for having me! Battling nature with you was a blast 😂
Great comparison video. I didn't bother waiting for the new GM ii since I couldn't justify the price (it costs $3,100 here in Canada before taxes) so just grabbed the 16-35 PZ recently to complement the 24-105mm that I have had since 2019. Here's hoping that Sony is working on a second version of that 100-400 GM because I would save up to get it (got a chance to use the 100-400 from Sigma for a week and I just didn't like it, so won't get it even though it's less expensive).
Hmmm.... Surprising, is there a reason you choose not to talk about the the 12-24mm f2.8 GM? Frankly, that is one of the best Sony GM's period-since it's release, that's the lens that I've always used for wide angle ranges. Though I guess is size/weight is a primary concern, you might count it out. Still the three lenses I always have in my bag: 12-24 f2.8 GM, 24-70 f2.8 GMII, 70-200 f2.8 GMII. Then I'll add primes on top if I need faster glass: 20mm f1.8G, 35mm f1.4 GM, 50mm f1.2 GM, 85mm f1.4 GM, 90mm Macro G OSS, 135mm f1.4 GM.
I have the original 16-35 gm and it almost lives on my camera. Just wondering if I should plan to upgrade to the new one to make it easier to use on a gimbal and also the close focusing might be better for food shots at restaurants. However it's a expensive upgrade and the original is already very good.
15:13 interesting thing about this is that Sony owns a big part of Tamron. Tamron have exclusive access to Sony's AF algorithms and stuff. They should have 1st party level autofocus but they dont
I'd personally rather get a Hasselblad, Leica, or Fuji GFX medium format system with 2 or 3 stellar medium format lenses if I had your money.. thats just me though
I like gear, I especially camera gear. I don’t personally make my living using a camera so I have other priorities than most professionals. I don’t really care for sharpness in my lenses. I am much more interested in size and the lack of chromatic aberration and purple fringing. Sony E-mount has the best offering of lenses. The bodies have great specs but rather disappointing industrial design. Since I am shallow for the looks of my camera I will stick with Fujifilm. Fujifilm also have the bennefit of great JPEG options.
At 3:35 I should have said 10% smaller, 20% lighter
NOT the other way around got it flipped sorry :) IT'S SMOLLER OKAY.
Thanks for the correction @ben_chao

Maybe I just might grab the 🔴16-35 GM (II) and 🔴24-70 (II) and call it a day until the🔴Sony 300mm f/2.8 GM (they were testing it at the World Athletics Championship in Budapest, Hungary in August) maybe announced in May 2024.
I do prefer Fuji color science though but not switching systems for many reasons.
Thanks For you REVIEW!!
Correction at 3:35, the 16-35 GM II is 10% smaller and 20% lighter, not 20% smaller and 10% lighter (when compared to its predecessor)
Had to hear the Peachy take on this lens! the weight reduction looks soooo nice!
Great video. Thx for tthe honest opinions on the differences of the Sony 16-35 lenses, I have the Zeiss 16-35, very happy, but always want that more open aperture.
I just love the look of your videos man. Perfect aesthetic
I'm using Canon through and through, since I've been using Canon for a long time. Was about to switch to Sony if Canon hadn't announced the R5.
I think most things regarding the "too sharp" stuff or "too vibrant" stuff is just coming down to applying a LUT. Which is also, why I mostly think the colour as a main talking point is BS nowadays. You can create presets and LUTs so that your camera/lens combos match (almost) perfectly if using RAW or LOG which doesn't really take up more time 'cause realistically you're not changing gear too often.
So, I feel like this has blown up into a topic which really isn't a big deal. I'm always happy if companies are innovating and improving gear.
Linear focus means to set the bounds of point A and B and then pull focus to these two places
Really love the outdoor parts of the video!
Family visit. Absolute max, 1 body, 2 lens
Thanks for the video, Sara. Enjoy the trip!
Still rocking the 20mm 1.8 G. You can find them used for $600+. Best bang for the buckaroos imo
Your beautiful green eyes look great in the green outdoors, or is it the lens🤔👀👍😍 Nothing against Sony but still can't beat the feel of a Canon in your hands. When it comes to images can anyone really tell the difference between images produced from high end Nikon, Sony or Canon cameras, there all so close, heck even Fuji does a great job, especially with those greens💚
This is my dream lens. And I will get it, sooner or later. :)
ahhhh I wish there was a brand-a-thon for the updated brand :( love those
I shot with Nikon "F" cameras in the 80's and 90's. Switched to Canon in 2003 with the 20d. Thought of moving to Sony. The whole sony photographic evolution has been amazing to watch. Shooting with a Canon 6d markii. I have relied on my creativity to make my images stand out not the equipment.
i shoot on a a7r2 and rokinon cine lenses and fx6 and the same lenses, The Mk 1 and 2, are not worth the upgrade BUT if you don't have it go for it. hehe. Also, Ms. Dietchy loves new tech, i enjoy the videos.
@@hi.imgonner5813 Sony has done a tremendous job of reinventing the mirrorless camera. I love seeing the lenses in action. Sony has mind blowing technology. I would love a Sony 645 camera. Much like the Mamiya 645.
I remember when you had that wide angle look and it was a unique look to your tech videos compared to the other tech youtubers. So while it may not have been "the most accurate" it was a stand out look.
I have the Mark 1 16-35 and love it and the 20mm 1.8, buuuuut I hope that Sony improves its 12-24mm 2.8 and please make sure we can add a ND filter on the front!!!! That would be awesome!
Love the DR3 helmet in the background 😍
This is awesome video! I love it! I’m Canon fan but I also like Sony, Olympus and Nikon. At the moment I take pictures with old Canon DSLR and old mirrorless Olympus. If I had the money I’d get Canon R5.
My fav wide lens of all time : 20mm 1.8
Oh thanks I’ve really been thinking about doing some Murch so thank you for this also don’t stay gone so long I miss your videos they are so positive
Printful is the best!!! Sign up using that link in my description 😊
Thanks for watching!
Sigma 14-24 IMO is a bit sharper and cheaper so went with it. I know theres no front filter thread but I have a matte box so hey!
I've always had Nikon, but I'd love to test this, just need a Sony DSLR. Thanks for your videos, as always ❤
The g12-24 is goated for wide angle wide lenses
Coming from Panasonic, I think the Sony cameras have a way to go with colour… and overall user experience
I agree, color isn’t the best.
Really appreciate the break down .
Interesting no 12 to 24 ?
Dream lens for sure.... one day!
glad you found the one...
Got the A7Cii & A7CR ahead of release - nice
Now I just need to find $2300… 😬
Excellent video, Sara! Love Breckenridge, I need to get there in the summer sometime. We’ve only been in the winter.
You Rocked this! Thanks so much ❤️
Excellent lens review thanks Sara! I've been Canon since 2012, moving to Sony this year (currently just FX6 and 24-70 G Master). What you said about the novelty of certain wide angle focal lengths wearing off combined with the size/weight challenges are spot on. A contributing factor to shift from Canon was the outlook that my new RF mount lenses may be impractically HEAVY. The RF 24-105 on my Canon R6 is already making me wonder if I should pack an FX30 for next trip. I'm leaning towards the basic 3 standards as G Master lenses (16-35, 24-70, 70-200). Thanks again!
My 16-35 gm ii is on preorder, can't wait to get it. My only gripe is that Sony lenses and cameras can have a 'plasticy' feel to them. Other than that, Sony is awesome. I like the images coming out of the Sigma lenses better than Sony though, but Sony colors have come a long way.
Sony element to be a popular product and a new camera to affording a lot of people with equipment and fliming in the skatepark!
I love when Sara is among green things😂😂
Currently owning the 14 1.8 GM. Its great but you cant always zoom with your feet. So the 16 - 35 2.8 mk2 is on my list. A perfect lens for me :)
Dear Sara:
Great videos and lively energy!
Two words, though ~
• Slower
• Enunciate
With a scintilla of effort managing your pace and diction, you could be a bigger YT star.

*I'll eventually get a G Master Lens for my FX30 but I just got my first cinema Lens*
Great run down👌 Thank you ! 😎
My travel kit has the original 16-35mm GM and primes at going up to 135mm. I can't see upgrading since I don't have an issue size, weight or minimum focus distance. Looking forward to Sara's take on the new A7c2 and A7cR.
yes
I always enjoy your videos, Sarah, and while I am very interested in this new 16-35, what really struck me was your comments about Sony’s images looking “clinical”. I’m a stills shooter, and I’ve seen a number of videos lately that relate to the “clinical” look of photographs, talking about applying negative dehaze and negative clarity to make images look, what?, better? I find the whole concept a little absurd. These current cameras from Sony or elsewhere, along with the lenses that are available today are capable of creating unbelievably sharp and highly detailed videos and photographs. Isn’t that what we all are expecting from this current imaging technology? So to complain that a camera’s image is too good or so precise that it’s boring or needs to be dialed back somehow seems crazy. Don’t we want to capture absolutely the best image possible in camera instead of expecting a camera to capture an image that is “soft” or “creamy” or looking like it was shot with Velvia or whatever? If you have captured the highest quality image data, you can always do whatever you want to it in post. Software today is so sophisticated that you can make your image look like whatever you want, but don’t you want to start that process with the best possible image data? I want the images coming off my camera to look “clinical” because then I know that this incredible piece of camera technology is doing what I’m expecting it to do.
i live in co and have a lot of photos from breckinridge in the spots you have been to.
Great video, looks like a very good lens !
Love the bags!
Full HDMI is nice as well... Canon ... I love my Sony and e mount. However Lumix is definitely tempting me. But I'm already so invested in Sony.
I love this video, and I hav not seen video from you before. So I hit the subscribe button and look forward to the next video. Thanks🙏
Re Canon lens sizes, yep. But an added benefit of size...people get out of my way, esp. when I break out the RF 28-70mm f/2L USM (and I don't need to carry 2 extra lenses) 🙂
Hey great filming outside instead of your room. You should do some fujifilm gear and lenses and comment on their colour and film simulations.
Hej Sara! what mic did you use for this video? thank you
Tough decision for me, I have the excellent 12-24 2.8 GM, but the 16-35 GM2 with its smaller size and compatibility with circular filters is compelling. If it’s as good as the 24-70 2.8 GM II, I might have to buy it.
Thanks.
Loved the video❤
Holy quality content
Buckaroos is a great word. Like the hit film, Buckaroo Bonzai
I’m torn between the 16-35 f4 PZ for my FX30 and the new GM. The word salad focusing will be very nice in certain situations.
Thank you for having me! Battling nature with you was a blast 😂
why not get an aspc lens? (genuinely curious)
I plan to get fx3 at some point.
GLORIOUS!!!
Great comparison video. I didn't bother waiting for the new GM ii since I couldn't justify the price (it costs $3,100 here in Canada before taxes) so just grabbed the 16-35 PZ recently to complement the 24-105mm that I have had since 2019. Here's hoping that Sony is working on a second version of that 100-400 GM because I would save up to get it (got a chance to use the 100-400 from Sigma for a week and I just didn't like it, so won't get it even though it's less expensive).
Hmmm.... Surprising, is there a reason you choose not to talk about the the 12-24mm f2.8 GM? Frankly, that is one of the best Sony GM's period-since it's release, that's the lens that I've always used for wide angle ranges. Though I guess is size/weight is a primary concern, you might count it out.
Still the three lenses I always have in my bag: 12-24 f2.8 GM, 24-70 f2.8 GMII, 70-200 f2.8 GMII. Then I'll add primes on top if I need faster glass: 20mm f1.8G, 35mm f1.4 GM, 50mm f1.2 GM, 85mm f1.4 GM, 90mm Macro G OSS, 135mm f1.4 GM.
I’ve been getting into cameras lately and love the videos! Make a second channel to fuel our gear acquisition syndrome!! Haha
I would've liked seeing Sigma, Samyang and Vlitrox lenses as well ;)
usually aspherical lenses help correct abherations
I have the original 16-35 gm and it almost lives on my camera. Just wondering if I should plan to upgrade to the new one to make it easier to use on a gimbal and also the close focusing might be better for food shots at restaurants. However it's a expensive upgrade and the original is already very good.
nice skating!
I wish Panasonic would make another MFT 1.7 that would cover 75-100mm. But i must say no other brand beats Sony E- mount in lens inventory.
15:13 interesting thing about this is that Sony owns a big part of Tamron. Tamron have exclusive access to Sony's AF algorithms and stuff. They should have 1st party level autofocus but they dont
WHOA. I had no idea!!!!
I'd personally rather get a Hasselblad, Leica, or Fuji GFX medium format system with 2 or 3 stellar medium format lenses if I had your money.. thats just me though
I like gear, I especially camera gear. I don’t personally make my living using a camera so I have other priorities than most professionals. I don’t really care for sharpness in my lenses. I am much more interested in size and the lack of chromatic aberration and purple fringing. Sony E-mount has the best offering of lenses. The bodies have great specs but rather disappointing industrial design. Since I am shallow for the looks of my camera I will stick with Fujifilm. Fujifilm also have the bennefit of great JPEG options.
I love sony from a6500 untill now with a7r5 ..
2:55 12-24 GM?
Sara i love your videos
