BEST or WORST Lens for Street Photography?? Sony 24-70mm f/2.8

[@Pierretlambert]

What's your favorite lens!? How do you like zooms!? Price of the lens: amzn.to/2DFvE0v - all my gear: pierretlambert.com/gear Come say hi on Instagram! instagram.com/pierretlambert

[@manuma4446]

Does it have macro capability?

[@BlueHawk80]

Sigma 24-70 is better & lighter at half the price :)

[@frontsideboy]

personally i learned on prime lenses, which was amazing. i now have this lens and its great because i think in terms of focal lengths. my brain works 24, 35 and 50 to 70 and i think i pretend i have 3 primes and dont have to switch between them. my advice is learn and enjoy primes, then get this. its a stunning piece of kit. im broke and still bought it over the tamron because 24 MATTERS. enjoy

[@Pierretlambert]

Good point!

[@DaveSincere]

I love your comment. I been on the fence between this and tre Tamron.

[@mshinodapt]

im in the same way, batis 25, fe 50mm, vivitar 135m

[@Perrit1984]

I've got a 24-70 too, I love it and at the same time I don't really love it. It's very versatile and you can get great shots in the most situations. But I love wider and more tele too... I can never really choose. I prefer my 70-200. Great video! :)

[@Pierretlambert]

Thanks for sharing! I see what you mean yes!

[@apocryphal_man]

I lock myself to the prime focal length I want for my composition when shooting zooms and then zoom with my feet if necessary. I prefer primes and find 24 70s boring, BUT I’m done changing lenses in the streets all the time after a completely wasted guy sneezed right into the camera body when I was about to attach a lens.

[@Andy1076]

Your vlog is SO much fun to watch! I feel i can relate to you vs all the endless tech specs I hear about all the time. Thank you for this!

[@MJAdams-js7np]

24-70 gm is a beast. One of my favorites! Used to shoot primes, traded them all for the 24-70 and 70-200 GMasters.

[@Pierretlambert]

Nice!

[@brendantaylor2623]

Do you still have it and love it? I have the 70-200 but am considering the 24-70.

[@robertmcdaniel7788]

I have the 24-70 GM and this lens in on my a7iii 80% of the time. If I had only one lens to own, the 24-70GM is it. On three trips (France, Iceland and Germany) over 80% of the shots were done on the 24-70GM. Thank you for the vid. Great stuff, as always.

[@Pierretlambert]

Thanks Robert!

[@paulgrech5113]

I have the Sony A7RIII , and Sony lens 24-70mm GM , They are super amazing , together you feel the power of Sony

[@AndrewWilsonOz]

I have the Canon 24 - 70 L F4 lense. I love it. I do around 80% of my shots on it. It's so sharp, and versatile. About moving you feet to zoom, I still do that with the 24 - 70, it does a lot, but not all. That being said, it is the perfect middle ground lense. I would have liked to get the F2.8, but it cost too much for me.

[@Pierretlambert]

Yeah I can see why you love it!!

[@Glasslugger]

For street photography I prefer the Olympus E-M5II on a wrist strap for being inconspicuous and use both the 17/1.8 & 12-40/2.8 which are equivalent to FF 35 & 24-80. I adjust my style to suit either lens but the 24-80 range is easier to quickly compose an image but I do like the faster 35mm equivalent for more involvement with the community I am shooting. That Sony 24-80/2.8 is huge for street photography

[@MODESTYXO205]

I just purchased a sony a7iv. What would be your first prime lens for Documentary ,short films and vlogs

[@MODESTYXO205]

I just purchased a sony a7iv. What would be your first prime lens for Documentary ,short films and vlogs. I purchased the 20mm 1.8

[@jackoneil3933]

Thanks Pierre, it's about time someone with a penchant for street photography did this video! I agree with your observations but find 24-70mm on full-frame a bit bulky and heavy. My favourite street camera is the Panasonic LX100 with the Micro Four Thirds 22-75mm f/1.7 equivalent Leica Summilux lens, mainly for the unobtrusive and pocketable size, advanced instant focus and punchy Leica detail and colours. I love having an f-stop ring and shutter speed dial with 'Auto' modes rather than clumsy 'P.A.S.M.' modes, and it shoots GH4 like 4k video too.

[@Pierretlambert]

Yeah it's big and bulky. Can't hide that!!! M4/3 is awesome for lens size!!!

[@BGaud]

i've always wanted this lens. I settled for the Tamron 28-75 2.8 and have been VERY happy with it.

[@Pierretlambert]

Oh nice! Heard good things!

[@BGaud]

@@Pierretlambert It's a great lens to upgrade to if you can't afford the GM and want a great upgrade from the Kit lens.

[@lifetimesofamultiplemediam1003]

I initially did a lot of street photography with a Canon 24-70mm f4; it's light, 600gm; it's small and compact (if you take the hood off); it has Image Stabilisation, which is good for night shots. The problem is as you mentioned, it made me lazy. I could stay in one position and get loads of shots, instead of moving around an being creative. I realised that I could get all kinds of shots; wide, long, tight, and would attempt to do so, which meant I would come home with way too many images, and this made my style haphazard. I didn't have any idea what my favourite focal length was, I didn't even think in terms of focal length, and this lens didn't help me with that. I switched to primes by trial and error, and this helped to hone my street photography skills and style. I now love the different focal lengths and understand what they bring, and why and when to use them. 16mm Ultra Wide, means I'm going to be shooting up close and personal. On mirrorless, on public transport it will more than likely be silent shutter, on the streets it will be mostly candid shooting from the hip. All the shots from that session will be about this close-up theme. I don't have to shoot haphazard any more. 35mm means standard streetscenes, as well as portraits with permission, which helps me engage with people. 35mm to me is the hardest to master, you have to be bold and your technique has to be honed. 85mm means candids portraits, you can stand back, and see the shots before they materialise, and when you shoot at f2.0 (something you can't do on a zoom) magic happens. 85mm is my favourite focal length when shot at 2.0. You cannot mess it up. It's crazy. 135mm means long range shooting from across the road. This focal length give amazing compression especially when you shoot at f2.0. I find it way more doable than using a 70-200mm, at 1300gm which would cause too much physical stress in the long run, and in any case you can only open the aperture to 2.8 on zooms. I use the Canon 135mm f2.0 L, it is a lightweight street-shooting master of a lens, again around 650gm. I just done a video about using this lens on the street, so you can check it out on my channel if you so wish. Excellent work. :0)

[@Pierretlambert]

Love your approach to learning those! Yes each focal lens has its own strength! I should make a video on that ;)

[@javiermendezphotography6937]

You're videos are so fun man. I like the jump transition.

[@Pierretlambert]

Thank you for this! Please keep going! I‘m shooting on an a6500, so this lense for me personally doesn‘t make much sense, but I love watching your videos. 😊

[@Pierretlambert]

Thank you Anja! Haha yes keeping it real!!

[@aristoioannidis7490]

Hi Anna, you summed it up pretty much.

[@thomasploner9424]

It sure is awesome, but I don't really like the focal range (sounds weird I know...) I simply prefer a 16-35 and a 70-200 with a small prime in between. Or a 24-105 if I don't want to swap lenses.

[@Pierretlambert]

I see what you mean

[@doplinger1]

I'm really leaning towards the Tamron 28-75, mainly because of cost, but I am concerned about the extra 4mm on the wide end it can make a difference.

[@guidecamera1868]

that's what she said.

[@Pierretlambert]

Try to get your hands on it and try it TBH. You'll know instantly!

[@DailyStreetPhotography]

Always excited when I get a notif from you

[@Pierretlambert]

Oh thank you!! 😊

[@georgeverdzadze7063]

I do weddings and street photography too,for some reason I dont like 24-70 picture quality, I see a huge sharpness and quality in prime lens 35,50,85 mms f1.4, so in last 3 weddings I stoped using this bulky 24-70 lens and now I realized to sale it and keep just a prime lenses + 70-200 g master. Maybe I am wrong but in my real experience I see the difference.

[@alexandrah.4244]

I love the Sony 2470 2.8 GM for ALL kinds of pictures....also the Sigma 14-24 2.8 for architecture and landscape and my Sony 70-200 for anything else 🤪👍😉

[@ColdCoffeePhotography]

for street and travel on the Sony use the Tamron 28-75 f2.8 & the Samyang 35mm f2.8 pancake

[@Pyroja]

Bought that pancake lens specifically for street photography. Heading to Europe next week and gonna really put it to the test! Can't wait :)

[@Pierretlambert]

Lmk how you like it!

[@djenuwine]

You have the choice: 42 megapixels and crop mode make this 24-70mm very versatile. BUT... Why don't you try the 24-105 mm f/4 ? With crop mode you have a 24- 160mm. And this is why I find zoom much better than fix focal lense now.

[@Smoothblue90]

The Olympus 9-18mm micro four thirds zoom lens is small and wide. It is a full frame equivalent of 18 to 36mm. Love mine.

[@slvcons7745]

Can't wait to buy this one

[@eviem70]

I have a Tamron 24-70 2.8 and I love it! It’s heavy, but I’m ok with it. Thanks again for your tutorials. I love all the places you travel to

[@Pierretlambert]

Thanks Eva!

[@jjccllgg]

For street phitography and being unnoticed, I can uses either or, or both: My GRii RIcoh, or my 70-300mm ( I can shoot people without them noticing). However, the compression factor with the tele, prevents you from getting a wider scene. However, I also have a 17-70 2.8 (C) Sigma which is a great walk-around lens. Thanks for your video!.

[@Pierretlambert]

Nice!! I wanna try that Ricoh!

[@geopatriot]

I thought that this would be a pointless clickbait video. I was really pleasantly surprised by the quality content and useful point of view. Thanks!

[@Pierretlambert]

Thanks man!! See you in the next episode ;)

[@ggn1]

My only lens right now is a Zeiss Batis 40mm f2. Not too wide not too narrow. It's an awkward focal length for someone awkward like me 🙇🏾‍♂️

[@vagoguy]

After a year with 16-35 2.8, 20-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8 - all GM. I'm loving the 70-200 and consider to sell one of the other two. Can't decide between keeping the wide one. As you have. Or having the boring but maybe more useful 20-70. WDYT? BTW, i mostly do portraits and concerts. That's why wide isn't something i use regularly.

[@AF8Images]

24-70 (f2.8 or f4) married with a 45MP sensor has an epic performance envelop. As you say with a DX/APS-C crop it becomes as 105mm and with image stitching it becomes a wider lens. If I'm restricted for any reason it's the combo I reach for! Great video as always Pierre

[@Pierretlambert]

Yes the combo is sick! Thanks!

[@aldeen1982]

I´ve done the best street shots with my 16-55 2.8 Fuji. Its so versatile and the IQ is top notch!

[@theSergeantGonzalez]

PIerre how are you? Look at something, I do not intend to go against it, in what you say of the Sony 24-70 G that if it is good or bad for the street, first from my point of view and because I use it Carl Zeiss is the best with 16 -35mm and if by chance, you want to use one with something else in millimeters, then 24-70, these lenses are 100% compatible with the Sony 7II and 7III Sony Zeiss Vario-Tessar T * FE 16-35mm f / 4 ZA OSS Sony Vario-Tessar T * FE 24-70mm f / 4 ZA OSS, Full Frame, E-Mount Lens

[@thesaint1517]

I prefer to use my 24-105 f4 since it gives me the extra reach while retaining he same wide angle of 24 mm. So far, excellent results with it.

[@Pierretlambert]

Oh nice!! Heard it's awesome! Never tried TBH!

[@jenniferhametbagnou9134]

Superbe vidéo, mais du coup tu me fais hésiter avec le 16-35mm f2.8.. as-tu fait une vidéo comparative ? Merci

[@angelov9976]

i now have a 18-55mm,a 55-200mm and a 70-300mm lens and i think that its not lazy if you use the zoom bc sometimes its just more practical to use a zoom lens instead of a prime

[@janvirtanen9110]

I prefer a small camera for street photography. So its always with you. I like a prime lens. When you practise street photography daily you learn the field of view of the lens. So you know whats In frame. I prefer 35mm lens. Shoot close. No need for telephotos. Street photography is very difficult genre. It takes years To be confident. I started street photography with 50mm 1.4, Canon eos50, then moved To leica m6 and 35mm. Also used the Fuji x100. I like the rangefinder experience. Hyperfocal focusing.

[@Pierretlambert]

Nice!

[@kevinsim1514]

I love it when an actual Frenchman says, "ooh la la!" 😎

[@ferdiyansurya]

I bought the xf16-55 f2.8 (24-82 mm equivalent) for my fuji system. It’s way massive compared to the standard 18-55 that came with the camera, but you can’t beat it’s versatility. Size is a bit off putting for street photography in areas where ‘security’ and where privacy is a high concern.

[@Pierretlambert]

Oh nice never tried that!

[@yacbln]

Dumped my 28 and 35mm after getting this one - it's just so sharp too. The weight wasn't really an issue, you get used to it rather quickly, and I found it focused way quicker than the 35 pancake or the 28f2 which lent itself way more to a rapid fire hip shooting style.

[@Pierretlambert]

Awesome! Yes it rules those two for sure!

[@ices2318]

That's so true. The weight isn't really an issue at all. Glad I didn't believe the whiny users online saying that it's heavy. I'm so happy that I went ahead and bought it because it's freaking sharp and contrasty! Also, I saw a couple of petite photographers who rocked a Sony 24-70mm F2.8 at a wedding all day like it was nothing.

[@Fretice]

In my opinion 35mm prime is best for street while 2470 is best for events. There are usually tons of people during events and you generally do not have to chance to move around freely, so a wide range from 24 to 70 mm would dominate the situation of all kinds of events. While on the street, even in downtown of big cities, it is not as crowd as during events, so mount a prime and use you legs to zoom XD. (Guess the reason why reporters love using 2470 for work, you got it, same reason as for events)

[@Pierretlambert]

I see what you mean!!!

[@1957PLATO]

For street photography you need a small body and small lens. People will see you coming from a mile.

[@lakkot.b8695]

It's been really on my mind lately, and also the reason why I switched form Sony to Fuji - to have a more compact body so I don't stand out. And I do feel more comfortable shooting smaller, but to be honest, I don't know if it matters from a perspective of a passer by. If they don't want to be in photos they don't care how large they are in your frame, and for most people bigger lens means bigger zoom. So people probably don't care, although I have to say I do car quite a bit

[@Pierretlambert]

Yeah it's something to try and see what style is best for you 😊

[@Webtrekker1]

LOL, true.

[@obi-wankenobi2833]

@1957PLATO Depends on the style man. I use a 70-200 f2.8 for my street work like Pierre does a lot and I love it. With this lens people don't see you because you're too far away. And the effect is amazing. Definitely worth sacrificing "compactness" for me.

I half expected this video to end with the dude getting robbed in the street. He's walking around Guatemala with about $5k worth of equipment.

I'm more worried when I'm in Paris haha

[@Noealz]

As long as it works! : )

[@Pierretlambert]

Yeap!!!

Nice video! I already have the lens for a couple of months but I was curious about other's opinions. Question though, what do you use to attach the camera to your chest?

[@RaginWhormone]

Do you think a 70-300 is to much for City/Street photography?

[@Pierretlambert]

No it can be great!!

[@glenconverse1327]

That back pack has to be killing you! No?

[@Webtrekker1]

Street's like the one you photographed in this video. :). I love my 24mm-70mm, it's not a Sony, it's a Nikon.

[@kefkapalazzo1]

I might tru to rent it. I don’t like zions lenses so far

[@harissatheartist]

For an introvert photographer is the best lens haha

Hello Pierre, one doubt, what is the carrying system you have attached to your shoulder straps? It looks really practical and secure. Anyone knows and recommends this system? Thank you, Pierre. Your videos are awesome and have saved me thousands of dollars in decision making!

No thanks. It's way too large. I shoot with a DSLR and with a physically small lenses and still feel like I gather too much attention to myself. I guess it depends on the environment you shoot in; how well you can blend in and whether people care. I am looking to reduce to either the X100F or the GRiii. I am surprise you didn't tape over the Sony logo.

[@Pierretlambert]

Heard good things about that Ricoh! Ha yeah that a rental body so I didn't dare taping it :p
