This makes a ton of sense because you ended up with a lens that fits your needs better. Appreciate you sharing your process 👊🏻 still here
I think you made a great choice Terry! I started a business with a 24-105mm lens almost a decade ago. As much as I love fast primes, time is money - being able to walk into a client shoot and quickly capture wide / mid / tele shots on the fly as things are happening is what gets the shot most of the time.
I agree, I haven't got a zoom lens yet but when I'm on shoot and things are happening quickly I'm there faffing around with deciding what lens, swapping lens and missing epic shot opportunities
so im probs gunna get the sigma
Just want to boost your motivation by saying that i found myself watching your videos from start to finish without even skipping sponsor mentions. I actually noticed it. A the reason for that is the way you talk, your tone and pace, it's just pleasant to listen. And of course the picture quality. You rock man! I can definitely see you in top tier list of TH-camrs soon. Keep it up
Agreed!
Thank you Terry! This was definitely a helpful video for someone who is contemplating which lenses to kick off with in my doco kit - thank you..First time I have been on your channel - look forward to checking out the rest of your vids - mean!
“Gangsta mode G master” HAHA love your energy man! 💯✔️🔥

I love my 85 1.8 and will keep it forever for portraits, but a 2.8 zoom more than fits my needs (just got the Tamron 28-75), though I do want to get a wider prime for landscape to play with.
#fam, nice video, great insight! Your perspective on sharpness of zoom vs primes is enlightening. Please keep 'em coming and I wish you and yours the very best!
Your b-roll is fantastic, great camera presence, and great information right to the point. I'm looking forward to watching your channel blow up.
Picture quality and lighting looks great in your studio! I also shoot with an a7siii and and an a7iii as my b camera and I’ve been having trouble matching the cameras in post to look the same. What picture profile do you recommend to do that besides s-log3?
I got some cheap g1 zooms but I shoot prime tamron 35mm 1.8 and nifty 50. Im kinda thinking of getting the 70-200 2.8 then later a 15-30mm 2.8. It's really confusing cause there are so many ways to go with it I just wanna be well covered. I might just stay prime and grab a 85mm.
I can appreciate this. I have the sigma 24-70 2.8 art, the tamron 70-180 2.8 and a tokina 85 1.8 and I had been racking my brain trying to decide if 2.8 was good enough for portraiture in a street setting and if so which one to use.
You made the right call. Standard zoom lenses are the most practical option for run-and-gun work. I love my Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 and my Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8.
Still here! I just did a similar trade, 135mm 1.8 GM for the 24-70 straight up. So far no regrets, it's more practical and less stressful using zooms for paid work but I still prefer primes for personal use.
I just got the sony 24/70 2.8... I am impressed. I also have the 16/35 but this seems to be more what I need. I am happy but I do wish the zoom didnt barrel outward. makes it challenging on a gimbal for balancing purposes but still worth it. also, if they do make a mark2, I also will upgrade
You made a great trade based on value alone but I'd personally rather have two primes than one zoom.
Depends what zoom lens to compare with primes...
I think it deoends if you run n gun or not. If you do somethig with group of people who are all rushing zoom is better to have much more shots and save time than carefully changing lenses. Primes are fine in studio where you have to of time, tried as nice workflow as with zoom
really like your channel and specially this video! With what lens are you shooting this youtube video?
That barn door in the background is friggin’ epic. And… just found you. Killer stuff!
#fam watchin you grow is filling me with hope. Good luck man. With you all the way.
Love your videos man! your personality is even better! Much love!
With purchasing any camera gear, you first need to decide what you need the camera gear for, as far as what content you specifically create. And then obtain the gear for that particular NEED. Big difference between wants and needs. You made the right choice for your needs, the convenience of the zoom fits your needs better like you said "you're tired of the constant lens change
I’ve been shooting with the 24-70 GM since it came out, and love it. Yes the primes are awesome...I just bought the 20mm f1.8 G lens and love it. But for walking around I always go for the 24-70.
I have the Sigma 24 -70, and I’m highly considering the 20 mm. in your opinion does the 20mm make a huge difference compared to 24mm?
@Rosie Carr I use both, but prefer the 20mm when I can use it. It's just so sharp and lightweight. Much easier to carry. Since then I added the 14mm prime, which is a lot of fun!
Amazing video, this is exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to decide if I want to get the 24mm 1.4, or the 35mm 1.4 to pair with my 50mm 1.2 but the other option is this 24-70 to do it all. low light performance is super important for my hiking and backpacking videos, I'm so torn.
I have both the Sigma 24 Art + Sigma 24-70, I used them both on a recent video shoot and instantly could tell how much better the prime is. I feel like they both have a distinctive function in your bag. Paid vs Non Paid especially!
I have the sigma 24-70 too. But not the 24 prime. Instead I have the sigma 20mm 1.4 for night time street film work and oh boy are the results clean
@@sidehustlers336 cant go wrong with that at all!
#FAM Great clip bruh! Always good to see evaluations of primes and zooms, as I own several. Yet, deciding on the 24-70 vs a 50 and 24.
nice work bro ... I went W the Sigma 24-70 & the 24 1.4 for close to the same price as the Sony 24-70 by itself
how you finding the 24-70 bro
You know this is a heavy-ass lens when I purchased the 16-35 GM lens and I thought it was "light". I do love my 24-70, wish it was lighter but sometimes it's just the lens I need.
As long as you are happy that’s all that matters. Very good trade. I started with the 24-70 and 70-200 f2.8’s and now I am mostly all primes, but hey that’s me. I have been thinking about the 24mm f1.4 gm but I don’t know how much I will use it seeing I do more portraits of seniors, and couples than I do weddings. So I am on the fence on getting the 24mm.
Still Here! Picking up a 24-70 G Master this evening! Thanks for making the video.
Nice!!! You are going to love it.
I've got the Sigma 24-70mm and I love it! That being said, down the road, I could see myself getting a 24mm 1.4 for specific uses like gimbal work as it's just a lighter setup.
Also are you able, if you haven't done so, to make a video about switching from Canon to Sony? I"ve been all canon for 4ish years. I'm getting my first sony tomorrow. (a7s3)
What up Terri, love your content. Question: your videos come out super sharp in TH-cam, what are your export settings in Final Cut Pro? Thanks!
The 24mm 1.4 fits my needs better than a 24-70. The weight and the 1.4 for astrophotography are perfect for backpacking and hiking. Curious what you think would be better for street photography, though. 24-70, 35mm, or the 50 1.2. One of these will be my next investment.
Still here, just picked up a Sony A7iii
Nice!!!!!
If I can have only one lens, it is 24-70 f2.8. But if I can but couple lenses, I definitely go primes. My opinion, people believes primes are harder to shoot with, but when you zooming, you should understand what are you doing. It's not about distance, it's different perspective. It's harder than you think. So you should choose focal distance first and then take a shot, but people like zooming in and out and just trying take some shots, without stepping back and forward.
I've been looking at the Sony 24mm F1.4 for astrophotography and car photography. What do you think of the Viltrox 24mm F1.8 compared to the Sony?
I love manual primes but for specific events and videos I gotta have zooms with autofocus. Just ordered the Sigma 28-70 and I have the Sigma 18-35 ... definitely want to add the Sony 24 to the collection one day 🙏🏾
Depends on your photographic interests - I go for landscape so clarity, then lighter weight of lens - For macro I go all out clarity adding bokeh when possible - Great Post, loved your video
Dope video brotha! Got me thinking about a 24GM for my channel haha.
#stillhere question I am debating between 24mm GM and Sigma 24-70. I do shoot a lot at night so leaning towards the 24mm f1.4. But the versatility of the 24-70 has me second guessing. But I do have a 50mm f1.4 prime and a 70-200 f2.8. Do you think the 24-70 would be enough of a benefit to pass on the 24mm prime?
Is that Titan chair? And if it is how do you like the comfort? I like fast zooms too. My dream set up is 24-70 2.8. 70-200 2.8. And a few super fast primes
Zackly what I needed! Thanks for making this video. ✊🏾
Killer video, you’re easy to listen to and you get to the point. You earned my subscribe!!
First-time viewer still here. Great vid - loved hearing your perspectives on these two lenses.
You could make a video about whether to have cornflakes for breakfast or rice crispies and find a way to make it entertaining. Still here. Love the content you put out.
Thanks so much for that!!!!
thanks for making this, was super infomative man 💪
Love this comparison. Great vid man!
Sigma 24-70/2.8 user here. I absolutely adore this lens and have put killer images through it. Would I prefer the native Sony? Absolutely. But I feel the Sigma has come really close, and no way I can justify the cost difference. However, I still am considering the 24/1.4 GM because that lens can do everything. It's the one lens you can slap on your camera on the way out the door, and just KNOW whatever you choose to shoot that day, it will be crisp and beautiful with the gorgeous bokeh. I also have found that (for me) primes FORCE you into being a more intelligent, creative photographer. Damn it -- I just talked myself into it. I'm gonna find a good used version of that lens!
Thanks man! Your video helped me make the decision between zoom and prime!
Yo yo Terry really liked your opinion piece on the lens swap. My rap on the deal is if you have a Sony A7m3 for video the Sony and sigma lenses are probably best because of the crop factor @ 30p. But, the tamron zooms are definitely much more walk around friendly and for 2nd cam work it's great. Cj
20 1.8G is better than the 24GM IMO and I've owned both for some time! Now I use the 20G, 24-70Art, and 85GM, dream team
For documentaries and some vlogs would you recommend 16-35 gm or 24-70 gm
I love the 24-70mm gm...my arm gets a workout with it, but the image quality plus versatility makes it all worth it.
Still Here!
I am the same as you. I LOVE the look of primes, but the versatility of a zoom is my goto. I have the Sony FE 24-240 f3.5-6.3. It's been my goto for about 6 years now. Would love a faster zoom, but the range is so insane it makes up for it most of the time.
I appreciate the comment about sharpness on the 24-70. Cameras now like the A7siii/fx3 really are so clinically sharp that it wouldn’t hurt to ease up on the clarity.
I think the Sony is out of my price range but def keen on the sigma. Thanks for the great video mate, love your work! 🤘🏻
Yes...no yes..maybe no? yes? They are such different lenses that open up such different doors! I struggled with getting an 24mm, decided to get the 20mm instead...why? its quieter. after f4 the 24mm gm starts making aperture noises which mess up video.
This is helpful, I was deciding between a 50 1.2 GM vs a 24-70 2.8 GM and want the sharpest possible lens with 61mp, youve hinted this zoom isnt quite as sharp as primes which is all I needed thank!
How was the quality of the 50 1.2gm? I am in same boat
Obviously still here brother - also running the a7SIII and the 24-70mm G-Master and totally sharing your opinion about the sharpness and that it rather looks more „filmic“. All the best, keep up the good work!
Good to hear of the sharpness from the 24-70.
Great video, #Fam! I have the 24mm GM and just got my Sigma 24-70 f2.8. Worth it!
A huge reason for why I love my Lumix 12-35mm f2.8 is its compactness. However, the Sony 24-70mm is so so good.
I agree with you; you should most definitely NOT regret your decision. The advantages are worth more with a zoom that good.
Still here bro, great video! What do you think about the sony 20mm G? 500€ between 24mm GM and the 20mm G. I want a lens for product photos and maybe some travel pics, street photography etc. I think the 20mm G is a good option aye?
great info. subscribed today.
Dope as hell Bro!! Im a Canon Guy, but you got me wanting to get a Sony like my life depends on it!! Good shat!!
YOUR CAMERA QUALITY IS AMAZING!!!!!
I just recently got a prime for my A7riii. All my other glass is Tamron zooms. I may pick up another prime at some point, but for right now zooms fit me and my style much better
Same here. The versatility is great
I've got the whole Tamron trinity zoom line up. I do eventually want to sell the 17-28 and get the Sony 16-35 2.8.
I love Primes but for weddings I have to use zoom specially in tight places! For photo-shoots the 50mm f1.4 prime is perfect!
Bro, the fact that you call the GM “gangsta mode” insta sub.
You nailed it down, it depends on your needs. One size doesn't fit all. I wanted the 24GM first and then decided to get the 24-70GM. Never regreted it because it has a way wider flexibility of use. Anyhow I wanted the 24GM mainly to shoot at night and do some video on a gimbal whereas the 24-70GM is way to heavy and I got it finally some weeks ago. That said your decision makes perfectly sense.
I had this dilemma in the shop when I bough the 𝞪7s iii, I too settled on the Gangsta Mode FE 24-70 f2.8 and think it can handle 99% of what I need it for
As much as I love a prime - if I could only have 1 lens it would be a 24-70; and by the way - the Sigma 24-70 DG DN Art for Sony is amazing; some days you only want to take 1 lens with you and on those days - the extra weight is offset by what you are not carrying in your bag!
Fam! Still here! I stay anticipating your videos!
Just got the 24-70 but managed to hold on to my 24mm. Love both these lenses. That 1.4 makes a huge difference and is a tool in itself. Love it so much. But Love the utility of the 24-70. So happy with both lenses. If I could only have one though, yeah I'd have to do the 24-70 just for the utility but that shallow depth of field is such a unique creative tool.
Also, love the video - transparent and straight to the point.
Hey Cameron, I'd like to get your input on my shooting situation. It's stationary. An a7s iii pointed at me as I teach drumset for youtube videos. It will be as close as I can get it so the students can see exactly what I'm doing. But the focus needs to be broad enough to take in the upper parts of the drumset where my sticks will be hittinf (cymbals and heads). And I rock back and forth etc while I"m playing, if that helps your choice LOL.
Would the 24-70mm be better for vlogging than the 16-35mm G Master?
Just got the 24-70 can’t wait to test it.
I was sad for you to lose your 24GM prime. I love mine and I also love my Tamron 28-75 f2.8.
Thank you very much for the review.
Still here. I got a Sigma 35m 1.4 but I'm debating getting a 24-70 to replace it. Mainly doing automotive photography
Bruh, I feel ya'! I picked up the Sony 24-70mm G ('Gangsta' Mode) for a steal at Lens Authority. This lens is razor sharp wide open. Amazing! No regrets, and I gave up a few primes to get it!
Good to hear you're enjoying the 24-70, and that it's razor sharp! Deciding on the 24-70 vs a 50 and 24.
Dig my prime 20mm, but my 16mm 35mm G master is awesome
Thanks for Sharing Terry Always good
Content!
#still here! Ugh, the age old trade off between primes and zooms. It's awesome to see their quality getting closer, now if they could just solve the size problem. For me, the size is a real drawback. It's such a hassle to carry around all day. #fam
Size and weight
Still here. At the moment I use the tamron 28-75 2.8, and a couple of primes 14mm 2.8 and 85 1.4. I will say that since I only have one camera, its very practical to have a zoom lens. However I think that when I get another body and the 24 1.4 or the new 35 1.4, I might use more primes than the zoom. But time will tell. At the moment due to budget reasons and the practical reasons you talk about, I prefer to have a zoom on most of the time.
That's the video with practical view I needed to decide: Sony 2470 GM vs Sony 35 GM.
Thx!
Still here! I went with the Sigma 24 AND the Sigma 24-70. Sometimes I hope there isn’t a lag in quality over Sony... but overall no issues for me as a hobbyist.
Excellent choices!! There is really no noticeable difference in them vs their Sony competitors for hobbyists.
Ha, ha, yes the GM 24-70 is heavy but a really great lens for event photography. The 24 mm comes in handy in tight spaces.
Looks like the mkii will be announced soon. Will you still get the mkii or do you think the mki is good enough. I have just traded my 135gm for the 70-200 gm mkii and was thinking of trading my 24gm for the 24-70gm, but now waiting to see if the mkii comes out. Would be good if they could make it internal zoom as well. #fam
In my canon days 24-70 was one of my fav all purpose lens. Just got a Sony A74 yesterday and today I’m picking up the sigma 24-70.
Sigma makes some great lenses for Sony. I also have the sigma 20-70.
I have a bad habit of never getting rid of gear until its obsolete or of no value. The pro, once I own something I never regret not having it. The con, I sit on stuff I never use and never get any compensation for selling/trading it.
I hear ya man
@IMDABROWN, you’re talking about me. Hahaha!
Makes me feel better when I do hand me downs to my nephews so that’s an option. And then gives you a reason to buy more with no regrets!
@@nomad0714 yeah I was doing hand me downs to my nephew, but the next day it was in the pawn shop.
Plus 70mm 2.8 is damn nice for some portraits!
Switched to Fujifilm from the Sony recently but always look forward to your videos.
Still here, and I do prefer primes. :) For landscapes, the beautiful colors, ultra sharpness and contrast of the 24mm GM are fantastic, and for street, the smaller lighter size of the 24 wins.
Same. I LOVE primes but the 24-70 GM is on my camera 90% of the time because it does everything
As much as I love my primes, 99% of the time I just keep my sigma 24-70 and tamron 70-180 in my backpack. They're both ridiculously sharp, great contrast/resolution and for the vast majority of what I do f2.8 is more than enough. If I could go back to when I started my lens collection, I'd have held off buying the primes (I was led to believe that primes are always going to be better than zooms) A 24-70 is an absolute workhorse of a lens.
have you ever considered the tamron 28-75 2.8 or the new one from sigma? or is 28mm not wide enough for you?
Not wide enough for me. Had it for 2 years
I feel you. The versatility outweighs the... well weight ha
Still here! #FAM I prefer Prime lenses for photos, and Zoom lenses for video. Great Vid. Later.🔥
Still here.
I like both prime and zoom lenses; it depends on the situation. If I'm travelling and I bring only one lens, it'll probably be a zoom lens. In some cases I might dual wield two camera bodies each with their own prime, with a zoom lens to maybe use as a backup in case one body breaks.
#FAM - I prefer primes when I can but the Sigma 14-24 DGDN F2.8 and Sony 24-105 F4 are my go-to travel lenses.
I own a Sony 24 70mm GM too and it's absolutely my favourite lens because the zoom versatility.
Hi Terry. I shot amovie, avtually, with the SONY 28-135, and that was with the SONY fx9, and that cam is a little bit shaprper than f. ex FX6(a7s II).....do you know, if the24-70 is any shaper than 28-135 ?
