I’ve always wanted a 16-35 but for more TH-cam content but I definitely see the value at a wedding as well. That would be perfect in tighter spaces and for a wider perspective.
The 50mm prime is my go-to on a wedding day! Off topic but speaking of gear, how long does you monitor last? I just bought my first one and I havn't used it on a wedding day yet. I'm nervous I'll be swapping batteries constantly...do you find that it's bothersome on a long day or do you just swap batteries when you change camera batteries? I get nervous to use new gear at weddings! Thanks for all you do brother!
Hey man! Depends on which monitor you got. The Atomos ninja V eats batteries. But the FeelWorld monitors do pretty good and I only find myself swapping one of these batteries at an 8-9 hour wedding day.
Short answer, yes it works just not as well. If your Tamron, Sigma or Samyang have optical stabilization features, you are going to get beautiful results. But with third party glass on Sony, the active stabilization doesn't work AS WELL as its designed and with Native Sony Lenses.
I always have my Samyang 24-70 on my cam for wedding films or videos and my 35mm f1.4. I’ve seen a lot of very good reviews about the Tamron 35-150 tho 😊, might just break my bank 😂
Thanks for your video !!! I can't live without my Tamron 35-150 !! I had the sigma 24-70 before, love it as well ! I will use it on my B cam when I will be able to !
@@dheepakhrajaram5346 that’s a beautiful lens as well. I would use a 35 on my APSC/S35 cameras and it was perfect since the crop factor generally turned it into a 50/55 but even on full frame it’s an amazing portrait lens
@@WaywardNorth Yeah I would Choose that. But in my country every photographer is leaning towards the zoom lens for versatility so I am terribly confused.
@@dheepakhrajaram5346 I mean a zoom lens has become a sought after lens because of the versatility in focal ranges. I think don’t over think it. If it were me I’d go with the zoom lens for now something that has a 2.8 aperture like the 24-70 or Tamron 35-150. And then get a 50mm prime to swap out every once in awhile.
@@WaywardNorth Thank you so much for the suggestion. There is a New Sigma Lens in the market it is the art lens 28 to 105 mm F2.8 aperture. Hope most wedding photographers will choose this in the future instead of the 24 - 70 mm f 2.8. But we lose 4mm on the wide end and gain almost 35 mm. Have recently seen some people taking macro shots with the 105mm range with this lens. It is quite crazy but the weight is 995 grams which is almost 150 grams heavier than the 24 - 70mm lens of sigma.
35 and 50 are solid focal lengths! I love telephoto for the intimacy, compression, and fly on the wall filming approach. The more I can stay hidden the better the reaction in most cases!
Great recommendations! I'm curious to hear if those of you who shoot with mist/cinebloom filters have one on each lens for consistency, or if you have one and switch it from lens to lens as you change lenses? TIA, and greetings from Wales, UK!
85mm is such a good lens! It just depends on the location and style your going for. An 85 is perfect for your second shooter to help you get those complimentary shots. Great for Ceremonies and even speeches! Even better on a crop sensor camera to get extra depth in the frame.
35 1.4 its a bit wider that the 50 so you can capture more of the background. you can get close to the subject. you can punch in and get a 50 mm if you need. with a 50 and 35 you can do a hole wedding
For the opening dance I tempt to go with a 24mm because there's is often not much free space too move between (in Belgium, the crowd is around the couple).
@@WaywardNorththanks do the sigma lenses have some stability as well? I know when I turn my OSS off on my Sony lens it shakes like crazy when it is off. Figured all lenses that don’t have OSS would be that shaky
F4 can be tough for an all day lens and might not be the best to help you achieve depth, bokeh, and separation within your image. I try to avoid F4 lenses and stay within 1.8 -2.8 lenses. I know they are more expensive but worth it to create a cinematic image
Oh for sure! it is definitely an investment. Sigma makes some really great options for less than $1000 and even Tamron. Still an investment but better than the higher end range@@coffeewithdamian
Because I have a problem. No, these lenses are compliments of each other. The 35-150 while has the versatility of functioning in an all day environment isn’t quite wide enough in some situations but is perfect for a second shooter. I do still want that 24mm focal range for scene building. And it’s good to have 150mm for ceremony/speeches/cocktail hour where as 70mm doesn’t always reach the desired framing for those moments
@@WaywardNorth if the 24-70 is a backup, that would be viable but I think something like a 16-35 or 20-40 would fill that space a little more efficiently.. Or even the 20mm 1.8 could work. Is there a reason you haven't leaned towards one of those options? Appreciate all of your insight btw!!
Your "uncut gem" song was truly a gem (no pun intended). You are talented. 😄🙌
24-70 GM II, 70-200 GM II for the doku
24. 1.4 for night & 50 1.2 GM couple shoots
Beautiful collection right there!
24-70 all the way!!! Love that focal range and how versatile it is.
Agreed!
I really like the tamron 17-28 .. because of the crop in 4k 60 on the a7iv
Oh yeah, utilize that crop factor to your advantage. I love that!
I’m shooting with a Sigma 24-70 Art on my A cam and a 24-105 on my B cam. I also bring my 16-35 f/2.8 for establishing shots and some dancing shots.
I’ve always wanted a 16-35 but for more TH-cam content but I definitely see the value at a wedding as well. That would be perfect in tighter spaces and for a wider perspective.
@@WaywardNorth agreed. I rarely use the 16-35 though, but it is handy when I need it.
DUDE! That voice! OMG, love it! 😊
Haha thanks friend! Felt like being a little silly but appreciate you!
A 24-70mm + 50mm is the perfect combo for a majority of wedding days!
Great video, dude!
Yes sir!! It is a lethal combo. Appreciate you man!

Loved the song 😂 you're great singer
Haha appreciate that!
Stop the song was actually 🔥 haha
You are too kind haha appreciate you!
Wow, so active stabilization does not work with e.g Tamron, Sigma or Samyang?
Short answer, yes it works just not as well. If your Tamron, Sigma or Samyang have optical stabilization features, you are going to get beautiful results. But with third party glass on Sony, the active stabilization doesn't work AS WELL as its designed and with Native Sony Lenses.
Goal this year is 16-35, 50, and 35-150!
Love this goal!
Sadly I only have 24-70 f4
But hoping to save up and upgrade to 2.8
Plus grab a sigma 50mm
I usually have the Sigma 24-70 on my main camera 90%+ of the day. It's just such a solid general option.
So hard to pass up! So convenient and a perfect all day carry.
Me too
I always have my Samyang 24-70 on my cam for wedding films or videos and my 35mm f1.4. I’ve seen a lot of very good reviews about the Tamron 35-150 tho 😊, might just break my bank 😂
I do love me a good 35mm. Haha yeah the 35-150 is an investment for sure. But I forsee me holding onto for several years so it was worth it for me!
Did you shoot these examples in log 2/3?
@@watermelonsugarfilmevents-5353 Yes all example footage was shot in SLog 3
Thanks for your video !!!
I can't live without my Tamron 35-150 !!
I had the sigma 24-70 before, love it as well !
I will use it on my B cam when I will be able to !
best
No youre the best!
what about 35mm prime F1.4??
@@dheepakhrajaram5346 that’s a beautiful lens as well. I would use a 35 on my APSC/S35 cameras and it was perfect since the crop factor generally turned it into a 50/55 but even on full frame it’s an amazing portrait lens

@@dheepakhrajaram5346 Yes, just ordered this lens for review. Can't wait to test it out.
That 35-150 is perfect. I've never used it, but I don't ever really go under 50mm - sometimes I shoot at 35mm, but prefer telephoto shots.
35 and 50 are solid focal lengths! I love telephoto for the intimacy, compression, and fly on the wall filming approach. The more I can stay hidden the better the reaction in most cases!

Thanks friend! I have a filter for each lens! Makes it easier when swapping back and forth.
Fancy! :) @@WaywardNorth
Love using the Tamron 35-150 👏
Same! Worth the investment :)
Would you ever suggest an 85mm for a wedding day?
85mm is such a good lens! It just depends on the location and style your going for. An 85 is perfect for your second shooter to help you get those complimentary shots. Great for Ceremonies and even speeches! Even better on a crop sensor camera to get extra depth in the frame.

Absolutely! I used to have the Sigma 35 and loved it but kept gravitating more towards the 50mm for most cases. Can’t go wrong with either one!
For the opening dance I tempt to go with a 24mm because there's is often not much free space too move between (in Belgium, the crowd is around the couple).
Hard for me to leave Sony’s OSS lenses. How do you keep your footage so stable handheld without a gimbal if it doesn’t have OSS?
I hold my breath when recording. lol jk, It still has Stabilization, it just doesn't function AS good as it does with native glass.
@@WaywardNorththanks do the sigma lenses have some stability as well? I know when I turn my OSS off on my Sony lens it shakes like crazy when it is off. Figured all lenses that don’t have OSS would be that shaky
my combo
24mm GM
35-150mm Tamron
Solid combo right there!
Great video! Would you recommend sony 20-70mm f/4 for wedding videos and main lens?
F4 can be tough for an all day lens and might not be the best to help you achieve depth, bokeh, and separation within your image. I try to avoid F4 lenses and stay within 1.8 -2.8 lenses. I know they are more expensive but worth it to create a cinematic image
@@WaywardNorth I see, make sense, have to think about it, doubling cost for a lens is a lot.
Oh for sure! it is definitely an investment. Sigma makes some really great options for less than $1000 and even Tamron. Still an investment but better than the higher end range@@coffeewithdamian
@@WaywardNorth very true, I very much like sony 20-70 f/4 so sharp and light etc. I will see!
Why have the 35 - 150 and 24 - 70mm
Because I have a problem. No, these lenses are compliments of each other. The 35-150 while has the versatility of functioning in an all day environment isn’t quite wide enough in some situations but is perfect for a second shooter.

How heavy is the Tamron 35-150? Is it good for gimbal?
It is 2.6 pounds so I’m not sure about a gimbal, just depends on what gimbal
