    My primary set of lenses is now Sony 24mm 1.4 GM, Sony Zeiss Sonnar 55mm
    1.8 and Sony 135mm 1.8 GM, exellennt set of lenses, highly recommended !
    Although I will like to see a better new version of the 55mm, a 60mm
    allround macro lens will be very nice !

    6:02 - is that Ken Rockwell? :) I can see on his page he was there as well. I rind it really amazing that Sony invites him to their events. He's kind of a legend (the Chuck Norris of Photography) and he was always known as a Nikon guy, but Nikon never really invited him and he was there at A7III release as well. This makes me just love Sony even more as it really shows me how much they are connected to the community :)

      Not only did he emphasise 0.24 inches in his commentary, it’s also in his slide. Any photographer worth their salt would have definitely paused and checked their facts on such clearly outrageous claim (which is obviously a mistake). Does he really understand what any of the other stuff means?

  • @christianvolkner2028
    @christianvolkner2028 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    24 is such a wonderful underrated focal length! I own a 25 Milvus and everytime I shoot with this lens I‘m blown away by its quality! However manual focus on an 1.4 is harder to focus as with an 85, so that a plus for the gmaster with its af🙂

  • @robwill9261
    @robwill9261 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      1008asad do you have any existing fujifilm lenses? For me it came down to if I needed to change focal lengths especially to anything greater than 50mm. Then go X-E3. But if you want the least amount of gear to lug around, then go X100F. You can get a wide and Tele converter but that's it. If you're okay with that, then you got a nice light package in X100F. I wonder how far we are to new iterations of both tho.

      @Phil Jones65 I actually want this as my main lens! I currently have an A7r ii with the 55mm and a 16-35 f4. Since I mainly shoot in the dark, I really need a fast lens. My thoughts were, that with the crop mode on the A7R ii, you can have 55mm and ~85mm (cropped) with the Zeiss lens and 24mm and 35mm (cropped) with this sweet lens.
      I am currently trying to sell my zoom, because I dont ever saw myself using 16mm, actually, I had it first on a crop camera which gave me 24mm as standard. Add crop and you get the 35mm that I am so craving right now ^^ 55mm is still too narrow for my everyday life but when I tested this lens in a local camera store, I knew this was the one within 10 seconds. Literally, i have never been convinced so quickly in my entire life :D Just peeked through the viewfinder, didn't even take a photo. It's lighter than the zoom, a little smaller and especially creates the nicest image i ever saw... sold! Lukily you can buy it for 1650 dollars equivalent in Switzerland, so at least some savings....

      Well considering most were predicting it to be $2k, and the price is much less than the Nikon and Canon, while being smaller, lighter, faster in focus AND better in all areas of quality I feel they priced it better than right. The 16-35 will never ever give you any shallow DOF that this lens will, nor can the 16-35 deliver in low light like this can. It's priced amazingly well and much lower than everyone thought. It's a G Master, weather sealed, two XA elements, etc.

    My primary set of lenses is now Sony 24mm 1.4 GM, Sony Zeiss Sonnar 55mm
    1.8 and Sony 135mm 1.8 GM, exellennt set of lenses, highly recommended !
    Although I will like to see a better new version of the 55mm, a 60mm
    allround macro lens will be very nice !
