What's your favourite lens for the Sony A7cII?
For my A7Cii, I use the Viltrox 20 2.8, Sigma 35 2.0 and Sigma 65 2.0. (another good add would be the Yougnuo 85 1.8). All that said, I will be moving to the newly announced 16-25 2.8, 24-50 2.8 (plus the 65 or 85) for travel - both the new zooms are the same size as primes.
Sony 40mm f2.5 G. Also use Sigma 16-28 2.8, Sigma 24-70 2.8 .. but the 40mm for everyday carry.
I do not have a Sony A7c series Camera, the Sony A7RIV are compact enough to me, when I go compact it could fx be Zeiss Loxia Distagon 21mm 2.8 T*, Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar 35mm 2.8 T* ZA (or the Voigtländer APO-Lanthar 35mm 2.0 Aspherical) and Sony Zeiss Sonnar 55mm 1.8 T* ZA, often with an extra Sony A7RIVA, so I have a wide angle Lens on one Camera and the 55mm on the other Camera, when I go really lightweight I only carry one camera with one Lens in my hand. I have had many Macro Lenses, until 3 years ago my top favorite macro Lens was the excellent Leica Macro Elmarit R 60mm 2.8, then the Voigtländer Macro APO-Lanthar 65mm 2.0 Aspherical, now I most often use the Voigtländer Macro APO-Lanthar 110mm 2.5, macro Lenses can be used for all kind of photography.
I have an A7C and my lenses are Sigma, 24mm, f3.5, Dg dn; Sony, 50mm, f2.5, G; and Sigma, 90mm, f2.8, dg dn. All are small and compact, to fit the ethos of the A7C body and all super sharp. I also have a Sony, A7 IV that I share the lenses with. On my A7 IV I use a 24mm, f1.4, GM to cover the 24mm focal length and don’t typically by habit use that lens with my A7C because its a little large on the body. I had the Sony, 90mm, f2.8 macro and while it is a beautiful lens with spectacular macro capabilities it was way too big for how I like to shoot. I didn’t want to use it and it stayed in my closet. I returned it, knowing I’d be giving up the wonderful macro capability. In exchange I got the Sigma, 90mm, f2.8 and I am soooo much happier its great sharpness, beautiful rendering and compact size.
My "general" lens is the Tamron 28-200. Fantastic optics! If needed I take the 24mm 1.4 along but 90% of my use is the Tamron.
Thank you for the video. I tried the f/4 16-35mm PZ but fell back to the small Sigma 16-28/2.8 DG DN I already had. Not quite as small but I don’t shoot video so I prefer the faster aperture of the PZ and saves you quite a bit. I have the 40/2,5 G and like its size but also own several members of the Sigma I-Series primes at 24, 35, 50, and 65mm all t f/2 which I’ve been trying. Also still have my Zeiss Batis 40/2 CF which is not heavy but physically larger and it’s great as well. At the longer end still debating but my Zeiss Batis 85/1.8 is great. Take care.
Really nice set Steve, thanks for watching. I’m keen to look into the Sigma series of primes - they sound like a great option also. I used to have a Batis for an APSC Sony years ago. I remember loving it - can’t for the life of me remember the focal length though 🤦🏻♀️
@@HannahYoungPhotography Maybe your Zeiss APS-C was actually Touit which came in 12, 32, and 50mm. I used to own those for my Fuji and Sony bodies.
Cool video! Thanks for posting. The 16-35 pz f4 lives on my zve1 or fx3 most of the time. Amazing lens! I love the new(ish) Sony 20-70 f4 G lens for my a7cii. You might try that one sometime.
Thanks Chris, really appreciate it 🙌🏼 Glad you’re loving the 16-35PZ too. Must try that 2470 out too. Would you consider the new 24-50 f/2.8. Its peaked my interest a bit. So wish it was 20-50 though 😉
I’m really torn on the 24-50 2.8. Like you said it would be more appealing if it were 20-50. Although it’s tempting I’m probably going to pass on it since I have the 20-70
Great vid thanks! Subbed.
Thanks so much Chris ✌🏻
As i recently bought the 40mm, totaly agree with you brilliant lense .
It’s a beauty it’s it. Just heading into London with mine this afternoon ☀️📸🙌🏼
Love the 16-35. It is my workhorse and personal favorite! I'm hoping we'll get a G series shift lens someday.
Nice… definitely become mine too 😄
I am on the same set up a7cii and 16-35pz (what a lens!), zeiss 55 1.8 and either the 85 1.8 Sony or the 90 macro.
But I am travelling with a 24-70 gmii and a viltrox 20mm f2.8
The 16-35 PZ has really surprised me. All around win. I’ve been researching some Viltrox lenses and would love a 20mm prime for video. Would you recommend?
@@HannahYoungPhotography I think if you could look past the focusing motor noise then it’s one of the best lens for $160 usd. Best walk around lens and for vlogging. Also need to accept the plastic build which I would say it’s close feel to tamron lenses, and no weather sealing so have to be aware when to use it.
Great Video. just have the FE 35mm 1.8 and I love it but I'm curious about the 40mm
Nice. Thanks for watching 🙌🏼 I really love the 40mm. Obviously you lose a fair bit in aperture compared to the 1.8 but I’d imagine the size/weight is fairly drastically different also. It’s so tiny and fun to use…
I’m thinking of buying the a7cii and sony 35mm 1.8 to use on gimbal work and as a second camera since my a7r line of camera is big and heavy with 24-70gm even if i do like that combo.
I think you’d find it so good on a gimbal - will be so much lighter. With the bonus of still getting the full frame goodness. Enjoy ✌🏻
I don’t user 16-20 so I went with 20-70/4 G, 35/1.4GM which also gives me 26MP 50/2 in crop mode and 70-200GMII which is my fav 😊
Very nice line up ✌🏻 I haven’t had a 70-200 for so long… used to love it. Don’t be tempting me 😉
Never used a power zoom .... is it noisy and how easy is to control the stop/start when zooming if that makes sense ? 🤣 Loving your videos by the way.
Me neither. This was my first go. I was a little apprehensive. I haven’t noticed much of any n significant noise from it. The stop/start and method of adjusting the zoom does take a little getting used to - certainly different to a ‘hard stop’. But have got used to it 🙌🏼
I use a7c ii with sony 50 f 1.4 GM
Beautiful lens. I’ve had a go on one but yet to own 🙌🏼
pls specify the dimensions and wt
Agree with first and third but have three Samyang compacts instead of 40mm. Excellent, compact and the total cost for three same as Sony. Flexible depending on location. 18mm for markets, tight spaces, 24mm and 35mm for street. Easy to put all three in small pouch.
Nice - they sound great. Handy to have the three as well. Will check them out ✌🏻
Love the 35, 75 1.8 combo
I own the Sony 90 Macro G OSS (amazing lens)..., it´s a little bit gib, but not heavy!
Me to. Love the images I get with it. Always 🙌🏼
I’m quite torn between the Sony 40mm G or the Sony 35mm 1.8. Did you consider this lens? If so, why did you choose the 40 over it?
That 35mm is quite an old lens, and not quite as fast to focus. Nor does it have an aperture ring
Go the 40mm. No brainer
how about sigma 35mm f2?
I have the 40G, 35 1.8, and the 35GM
I think the 35GM and the 40G make for a great pair, but if I only owned 1 it would be the 35 1.8
Not sure what the guy above is talking about, the 35 1.8 focuses really fast. It still has linear motors. It's not that old.
The image quality of the 40G is a touch better than the 35 1.8, but the better low light performance of the 1.8 would push me in that direction. It's also still very small and compact.
Also note: the 40G lens hood is not reversible while the 35 1.8 does have a reversible hood. So when stowed, their footprint is very similar.
@@duvalpenny100 so if I wanted the GM you’d recommend the 40 G to pair with it?
😊
🙏🏻
I want the new 16-24 2.8 g but so damn expensive
Lovely lens. Also… not so keen to drop so much £ on it!
Either the 40mm f2.5 Tamron 20-40mm f2.8
Ooo. Like the sound of the 20-40 f/2.8. Joss the size/weight?
@@HannahYoungPhotography not much bigger than the Sony 40mm.

Nice! Studying for my implant CDT right now
@@nicholassmith7723 ah. That’s awesome. Where are you doing that? Were lucky to have a lab onsite so love getting up there to learn bits and pieces - especially about digital planning for implants 🤓
