It would be interesting to compare the new 24mm 1.4 with the 16-35mm 2.8 lens. Each by themselves are apparently great lenses but how does the 16-35 GM 2.8 compare optically at the corresponding 24 mm focal length setting? Not in all cases are prime lenses actually better than zoom lenses, especially when we're dealing with high quality lenses such as the GM series. Obviously the 1.4 has a shallower depth of field than 2.8 but what happens when you shoot both lenses at 2.8 or slower? Does the 24mm 1.4 have superior image quality when compared to the 16-35, shooting at 24 mm?
I know exactly how you feel. It cost quite a bit of money but it is possible. I just purchased a sony a7iii after saving for many months. just put back 50 bucks a week if you can and youl'll have amassed so much money in no time. thats 200 a month. in 7 months youll have enough to get the lens . it takes time but it is doable my friend. I beleive in you!
This would be SO awesome to have if you already have the Sony G master 85mm F1.4, also with the 11 blade aperture. It would match if you were using 2 cameras, one with this 24mm F1.4, and one with the 85mm F1.4.
Wow! Finally! A Cheap GM.. when compared to other brands (except Sigma)... plus I love the circular bokeh balls with the GMs (plus lesser weight and better overall image quality.. something might be worth choosing over the Sigmal). Nice CG with the Sniff and Wind Tunnel Test.. :D
That "square of coloured lights" flare looks hilarious. It's actually light hitting the sensor, reflected back at the lens back-element and then reflected back at the sensor and becoming a part of the image. Lots of reflection going on there. Does make sense that this would be more of an issue with such a short flange distance. Looks like a hell of a 24/1.4 I'd pick this one regardless of the few funny issues.
JARED. Good review mate, always solid stuff, good delivery and well paced. The 24 is a nice option, be curious to see how this compares to the Sigma Art Series.
Great video as always Jared. This lens is a no brainer for me. I shot primarily with a Fuji 16mm f1.4 for late night handheld shots in the city, and I've really been missing that from my Sony. There isn't any good wide angles that are small enough to make me want to carry around for a day. Finally showing some mirrorless advantage here, instead of releasing huge glass.
Purchased this lens 5 days ago....traded in my Sigma 20 Art. Loved the Sigma, but I love the lens weight loss even more! Plus I don't miss having to adapted my lenses.
Please help me If you have to decide between this lenses the 20mm 1.8, the 24 GM, sigma 20mm 1.4 and 24mm for video purposes, not thinking in money, only in Quality for music videos. And I have already the 16-35 GM with Sony a7r iv.
Jared why haven't you dont you do any challenges anymore? Where you take an old ass camera and shoot something with lenses of that time period? I'd love to see what you can do with a d200..
Thank you very much for this video! could you please make more reviews about sony lenses? I 've just started with Sony, and I'm not sure which lenses to buy, I usually work with primes lenses, but for the Sony A7R III you have for example 3 different 50mm (one is 55mm) and I'm not sure about which one to buy if I just want to purchase a 50mm lens.... thank you for you help!!
Do you prefer a 24mm or a 35mm Focal Length for Environment Portrait Shooting? I'm considering buying the 24mm 1.4 GM and possibly using it in crop mode (36mm f1.8). is this a good idea?
The Sony E-mount version is way bigger (longer) than the Canon and Nikon mount versions. The picture shown in the video isn't the E-mount version! This is: sonyalpha.blog/2018/07/10/sigma-24mm-f-1-4-dg-hsm-art/
seems like you and steve are the only people around unable to work with a camera when the aperture ring is on the lens. The last 90 years it worked fine for other photographers.
Have to Agree with Jared here. The aperture ring is nice but it would be great if they had a lock as he suggested or a way to disable it in the menu system so that your aperture doesn't bump unexpectedly. Unfortunately this happens quiet often enough when I show some of the images to a model and she puts her hands on it...
Golden era for cameras :P Love my a7III, but Canon EOS R is good as well even if I would rather buy 5D mk iv...Fuji and Panasonic is getting there as well - for video they are great... Nikon D850 is beast, probably I would get that camera if price would be same as a7 iii.
Thank you for this review. I am looking at a 35 prime or 24, my wallet says I can only have one atm.... Rude.. Im leaning towards this particular lens. Thanks again for the review!
I actually saw the whole range of Sony's in my local Best Buy today on display. I played with a73 to see if anything has changed ergonomically since the previous gens. And holy shit NO, this cameras feel like utter shit in hand. How did they still not fixed their ergos? The brick is more comfortable to hold than that camera. Somehow the metal and all the switchea, including the on/off feel very cheap. Definitely try to hold one before buying online.
I would pre-order and keep on going to local camera stores. If you find one there you can always cancel the order. I would suggest also getting the vertical grip.
@ Stan Sid yes I agreed I also went to my local Best Buy they have one on display and it felt good in my hands in my opinion for the money I think it’s a great deal.
Hey Jared! When are you going to do the real world review of canon eos r and Nikon z6 and z7?. Also waiting for the comparison video of sony, canon, Nikon mirrorless camaras.
Hey Jared. I am watching your videos. You are good in what you're doing. You have personality. My question to you is why would someone spend so much money on fancy overrated lenses when I can do the same effect your £1000 lens will achieve (bokeh or whatever) in Photoshop? What is the point? Every photo those days is going from the camera straight to the Photoshop or any other photo editing software anyway.
Percy Pan Interesting. I wonder how much of an effect does it have not being perfectly in focus (as I guess the lens focused on the bridge and at F1.4 there could even be some depth of field going on). Otherwise Sony wouldn’t be promoting as hard this good Saggital flare performance thing. (In my experience with the Rokinon 14mm F2.8 if the focus was not perfect the stars turn into everything but sharp points).
Could this be why another youtuber with a large following recently made a video saying wide angle lens should be considered as a a go to for portraits? Conspiracy? Or was this an attempt to prime us for the release?
No, I did not mean you. I respect your opinion and believe you shoot straight. Keep up the good work. I was referring to another channel that seems to be shilling for Sony. I couldn't understand why push wide angles for portraits, but then the new Sony wide angle comes out....
So for landscapes do you think the G-Master 12-24mm f2.8 lens is better than the 24mm prime f1.4 ? Guys if you have an opinion, don't hesitate to help me out too ;)
Jared Polin I have invested heavily in the FX format from Nikon and shoot a d750. I’d really love a higher res camera. I’m torn between mirrorless or the d850. Furthermore, I’d be really excited if Nikon updates the d750 with maybe a 30 mega sensor or something.
Daniel S watch DPreview’s video on this lens. What Im talking about it is in the very beginning of the video, where Jared does come out like a bit of a dick.
So this is a review but when the Northrup’s did something similar with the Nikon mirrorless cameras that was just a first look and everyone gave them a hard time about it cause they didn’t have it long enough? Bit hypocritical. Jared don’t worry I’m just being an ass lol.
Jared you are my hero!

Quite the dick comment back..
Yup

Looks like a winner. Another fantastic lens I can never afford! Yes!
comrade7 lol same
me too :(

I had the Sigma for a bit, but returned it. Images were fine, but the weight and size were absurd.
Beautiful lens and awesome shots! I'm getting one! 😍 will come in handy for my music videos and just overall everything else I shoot.
Wow! Finally! A Cheap GM.. when compared to other brands (except Sigma)... plus I love the circular bokeh balls with the GMs (plus lesser weight and better overall image quality.. something might be worth choosing over the Sigmal).
Nice CG with the Sniff and Wind Tunnel Test.. :D

The sigma is shit for 🌌 milky-way shots wide open

Looks like a hell of a 24/1.4
I'd pick this one regardless of the few funny issues.
Since nobody buys me anything for Christmas I just ordered this 😊
whats the verdict? you like it?
JARED. Good review mate, always solid stuff, good delivery and well paced. The 24 is a nice option, be curious to see how this compares to the Sigma Art Series.
It's even better than the zeiss OTUS 28 1.4
Great video as always Jared. This lens is a no brainer for me. I shot primarily with a Fuji 16mm f1.4 for late night handheld shots in the city, and I've really been missing that from my Sony. There isn't any good wide angles that are small enough to make me want to carry around for a day. Finally showing some mirrorless advantage here, instead of releasing huge glass.
I want the 135 and 24, but I'd need a second full frame body, and my wallet ain't got money for that
I look forward to the sigma comparison.
B&H just shipped. Got mine today, 10-30-18.
Purchased this lens 5 days ago....traded in my Sigma 20 Art. Loved the Sigma, but I love the lens weight loss even more! Plus I don't miss having to adapted my lenses.
Love the real world photography commentary in your reviews.
Thanks for that Ken Rockwell sighting at the beginning if your video
Dear Jared, I remember you said that you weren't good at landscapes and I want to tell you that now you're wonderful at them
I use a slice of inner tube on the aperture ring, a bit ghetto but it doesn’t move
Please add metric system captions or just mention the weight in grams :) Best regards, rest of the world.
If only you had some sort of device that could quickly do the conversion..... 😴👍
Gosh these photos are os beautful. It is so versatile in so many different types of light. Thank you for sharing your review!
that's my BAY! nice shot..i will get one! thanks jared..
You answered every question I could think of, in words and visually - great video. Thanks
Hi, Jared. Thanks for the great review. I'm on the fence between this and the Zeiss 35mm distagon. Which do you think would be the better purchase?
Asa Elliott same here
Please help me If you have to decide between this lenses the 20mm 1.8, the 24 GM, sigma 20mm 1.4 and 24mm for video purposes, not thinking in money, only in Quality for music videos.
And I have already the 16-35 GM with Sony a7r iv.
Hmmm, this lens or a 16 to 35 for image quality :) choices choices!
16-35 is more practical if you dont have any wide angle lens but 1.4 will allow to shoot without tripod in low light in most cases.
Great review! Which external monitor were you using?
Jared why haven't you dont you do any challenges anymore? Where you take an old ass camera and shoot something with lenses of that time period? I'd love to see what you can do with a d200..
Nikon/Canon will have no choice but to produce less expensive great lenses.....Sigma/Tamron are knocking it out of the park.
CA is removed once you import into Lr, so is CA really something to point out here?
the smartphone buster lens ?
well close but we need 1 high resolutions lens in between 13-16 mm at a f-stop of f1.4
Sony eye AF is the shiz.....so good. I wish I could afford Sony FF with GM lenses.....in my dream world.
You need to take a look at the Sigma 16 mm f1.4 DC DN.
Tamron 17-28 or Sony 24 1.4 gm . Which one do you consider better in quality for photos and videos !
Thank you very much for this video! could you please make more reviews about sony lenses? I 've just started with Sony, and I'm not sure which lenses to buy, I usually work with primes lenses, but for the Sony A7R III you have for example 3 different 50mm (one is 55mm) and I'm not sure about which one to buy if I just want to purchase a 50mm lens.... thank you for you help!!
Hi Jared, thanks for the review, I am thinking to buy it or sigma one.. have you had the opportunity to use sigma one? Many thanks
Worth every penny,love this lens.Great for video on a gimble as well.
Sony 24 mm 1,4 vs ZEISS Batis 25mm 2,0 Any thoughts ?
So another win for Sony.
Lighter, faster, sharper, and cheaper than its competition (not sigma cause nobody owns their cameras)
Let the denials begin!
Do you prefer a 24mm or a 35mm Focal Length for Environment Portrait Shooting?
I'm considering buying the 24mm 1.4 GM and possibly using it in crop mode (36mm f1.8). is this a good idea?
How does it perform compared to the Canon 24mm 1.4 L?
beauty thanks for sharing bud!
Hoping to pick this up cheap on Black Friday 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
Nice job Jared!
I'm thinking about it ... would you sell the Sony GM 24-70 2.8 to get this SONY GM 24 MM 1.4?
fantastic sharpness wide open :)
Great review!
It's such a shame that the Sigma E-mount lenses are so massive, because they just have an adapter glued onto it.
Gotta remember they're a lens company. Makes more sense for them to make a lense and have it fit multiple mounts a specific lens for one brand.
That’s not actually the case. Plus, those massive lenses will be massive because most of them are faster lenses and they need those huge elements.
The Sony E-mount version is way bigger (longer) than the Canon and Nikon mount versions. The picture shown in the video isn't the E-mount version! This is:
sonyalpha.blog/2018/07/10/sigma-24mm-f-1-4-dg-hsm-art/
The unicorn lens
Can’t make up my mind, I have one prime lens 85 1.8 and the zoom trinity, which one would pair with the prime better, the 35mm 1.8 or the 24mm 1.4?
Are there any new cameras with focus guides in the viewfinders?
I wonder how compares image-quality-wise to the Zeiss 25 f/2 which has similar measurements but is, of course, a couple of stops slower.
Solarflares : only one stop slower, to be exact.
seems like you and steve are the only people around unable to work with a camera when the aperture ring is on the lens.
The last 90 years it worked fine for other photographers.
And guess what, there’s no need for aperture rings for photos. Or make a fucking lock so it doesn’t turn by accident.
It finally happened :D After years of writing good comments Jared finally answered my trolling on him
Have to Agree with Jared here. The aperture ring is nice but it would be great if they had a lock as he suggested or a way to disable it in the menu system so that your aperture doesn't bump unexpectedly. Unfortunately this happens quiet often enough when I show some of the images to a model and she puts her hands on it...
My old Nikon lenses all Had locks.
I Gaffer tape mine on my 85gm
How is it for astrophotography?
Errr english is not my native language but did you answer the question in the title of this video? "Better than Nikon, Canon & Sigma?"
Bing Beukhoven it’s called click bait. It poisons the Internet.
Golden era for cameras :P Love my a7III, but Canon EOS R is good as well even if I would rather buy 5D mk iv...Fuji and Panasonic is getting there as well - for video they are great... Nikon D850 is beast, probably I would get that camera if price would be same as a7 iii.
I wish they did the sigma 16mm 1.4 like they do for apsc- love that lens but moving upto full-frame there doesnt seem to be much in this range
Don't forget about the crop factor...
Why does Adorama list it as Zeiss?
Now I dont know if I should get the sony zeiss 35mm f1.4 or the 24mm f1.4 for portraits and weddings
Sony 24 with batis 40, 85mm gm/batis and 135 batis, sounds lovely.
Awesome
The Sun is the most epic of light sources.
So funny to review a Sniff test and wind tunnel
Do you have a used G master 35mm lens with f1.5.
Thank you for this review. I am looking at a 35 prime or 24, my wallet says I can only have one atm.... Rude..
Im leaning towards this particular lens. Thanks again for the review!
First Name Last Name same here. Did you end up buying the 24mm GM?
I love the review Jared. From South Korea :D
Batis25 killer?
There NEED to be aperture ring on a good Lens !
Peccato che abbia un problema enorme che nessuno segnala. In pratica in AFC con aperture superiori a 4/5.6 tende a sfocheggiare/pulsare
Can anyone tell me where can I buy Sony a7 lll camera?
amazon it's cheap
@ Victor SCHULTZE backorder or 2-5 weeks before it ship fam!
I actually saw the whole range of Sony's in my local Best Buy today on display. I played with a73 to see if anything has changed ergonomically since the previous gens.

Apparently 163 people don’t take Jared’s sniff test serious enough.
Hey Jared! When are you going to do the real world review of canon eos r and Nikon z6 and z7?. Also waiting for the comparison video of sony, canon, Nikon mirrorless camaras.
Waiting on the new firmware for eps r. And no bodies out of z6 or 7 yet
Were the RAW photos taken with the A7III or A7RII? Greetings from Argentina, Jared!
Martin Valenzuela both. Look at the metadata & you’ll see which was shot with which
Stephen Eckert Oh! Thank you steven!
I sir am a fan of aperture rings
PureNupe1 filmmaker eh?

faster then the notification!!1
Would be cool if you won something. :)
I saw the COMA in the edge of the bridge photo around 7:00

I got mine
This was on the A7III body?
Both the r and 3
Bro are you recording your audio in a tin can😂😂
Tempting 👍
Ted Forbes gets to model and a mention but ken Rockwell scurrying out of the road doesn't.
Could this be why another youtuber with a large following recently made a video saying wide angle lens should be considered as a a go to for portraits? Conspiracy? Or was this an attempt to prime us for the release?
FUCK NO. I said environmental portraits. Not a portrait lens. I always talk about the wides, mediums, tights and details.
No, I did not mean you. I respect your opinion and believe you shoot straight. Keep up the good work. I was referring to another channel that seems to be shilling for Sony. I couldn't understand why push wide angles for portraits, but then the new Sony wide angle comes out....
Nice... so Sony must have had a nice ambassadorrrroooo event. I.e...Jason Vong
Jared - You need to try stand-up comedy. Hilarious. (And I am not being ironic.)
Josh Nova yea he’s stepped it up quite a bit. 👏🏾
If its better than the Sigma 1.4 I'll be really impressed
it is !
Ted Forbes! :)
So for landscapes do you think the G-Master 12-24mm f2.8 lens is better than the 24mm prime f1.4 ? Guys if you have an opinion, don't hesitate to help me out too ;)
the prime will be sharper.
12mm anytime
there is no 12-24 2.8 gmaster. there's a Sony 12-24 f4
Victor SCHULTZE do you have an apsc or ff system?
No.Get the 16-35/2.8 gmaster instead. Sharper and weather sealed.
Hey Jared, do you still find yourself shooting your D850 over your a7 iii?
steven uses the sony for run and gun and we use nikons in the studio.
Jared Polin I have invested heavily in the FX format from Nikon and shoot a d750. I’d really love a higher res camera. I’m torn between mirrorless or the d850. Furthermore, I’d be really excited if Nikon updates the d750 with maybe a 30 mega sensor or something.
Never shoot a model with pleated jeans!
No A mount version 😡
Idk if you can recover from that Chris Niccolls burn..
What are you talking about?
Daniel S watch DPreview’s video on this lens. What Im talking about it is in the very beginning of the video, where Jared does come out like a bit of a dick.
That is a sexy lens
San Francisco is ma hood
If I only had the money 😞 I need a wide angle lens that’s fast for Sony e that’s not very expensive🙏🏽 help me

I did download the files. It's present in them also.
Stan S which raw file are you talking about? I’ll take a look
Which recorder u r using on top of camera???
Gaming GUM atomos ninja star
So this is a review but when the Northrup’s did something similar with the Nikon mirrorless cameras that was just a first look and everyone gave them a hard time about it cause they didn’t have it long enough? Bit hypocritical.
Jared don’t worry I’m just being an ass lol.
Ones a lens that does one thing..... the other is a body with hundreds of different functions to look at. So yea, there’s that.
I would love to have this lens, but damn, 1300$...
Why are you yelling all the time???
