Dear Jamil, you look extra handsome in 24mm

[@aboynamedjamil]

You a real good dude. We should hang out bro. #NoDiddy.

Not the #nodiddy

Great video Jamil, thank you! Like you I own the 20mm G (Baby G Master in all honesty). I actually owned the 24mm and ended up returned it since my go to was the 20mm. I shoot a lot of street and in my bag I have this 20mm and then I jump up to 35mm and I have this gap I'm finding a lot of street shoots recently that the 24mm would fit perfect for. I'm heading to Asia in a few weeks of a month and waiting of this lens to go on sale. Might just have to take the plunge and pony up the funds before I leave..

dont have the 24mm but i do have the sigma 16 1.4 which is a 24mm equiv and i gotta say theres just something about that focal length and DOF that looks fantastic

[@rayshaunw26]

I own it! I bought with the 35mm 1.4 and they are absolutely amazing!

[@aboynamedjamil]

Totally agree!

[@snapjacksonphotography]

Looks great! I love my 24mm G Master.

[@griffinwoodbobandrobbin1032]

Just bought the 24mm myself (not for $650 I might add). I mostly use my A7siii for underwater video, but was recommend the 24mm for night sky photography. Went out to try it this past weekend and had poor viz - I’ll try again soon. Anyway, good video - love the content. I’ll be coming back.

[@xdanielpatrick]

I like it. I’m on Panasonic and use the 18mm F1.8 and the 35mm F1.8… may pick up the 24mm someday but as of right now I can always punch into APSC and get a 27mm-ish field of view.

[@Thejoeymireles]

I love your videos. I do get a lil triggered by the red rim light cause it makes me feel like I’m watching with focus peaking on 😅

[@aboynamedjamil]

That's good feed back. I'll turn it down a bit to be more orange. The incredible thing is that it was only on about 2% power! Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment.

[@aboynamedjamil]

Excellent rescue of the future wife btw!

I like this framing with the 24 mm versus 85 mm, it feels more personal. Curious why did you feel like you couldn't do it with the 20 mm?

[@aboynamedjamil]

1. I tried it, and I didn't like the look of it. 2. MOST people wouldn't be able to see the difference between 1.8 and 1.4, but I can for the look that I was going for. 3. I don't think people realize just how much wider the 20 is than the 24. Especially in the setting of a talking head video. I would have to have the 20 VERY close to achieve the same framing. That's a lot of nose in the frame. Lol 4. Did you me the 50mm when you said 85? I haven't shot talking heads on the 85mm in years. Thanks for watching. ✌🏾

[@PeterSu]

@@aboynamedjamil Thanks for sharing! Got it yeah that extra bokeh between 1.8 and 1.4 haha! I see, yeah the 20mm must bring in a lot of your room. Oh whatever lens it was when there was more compression. I do like this current look more.

[@stkuj]

This a really great lens, that said, I just sold mine because it have too many GM's LOL (sold my Sony 50 1.4 GM too). Actually, I have the Sigma 24-70 that covers this focal length and don't need a wide angle 1.4 (2.8 is enough for me for what I shoot). You got a great price on it (I sold mine for about 800).

[@dylannolan7454]

Sigma 24-70 produces lovely images. It’s the lens I shoot most on client work. I’m sure the Sony is great too, but I can tell you most users will be pleased with the image quality of the sigma.

[@TheBeats4ya]

I like the 24mm! I have a Tamron 24mm for my A7C, but never really use it unless I'm aiming for wide landscape shots. After seeing this video, I might pull that lens out again and shoot some vids. :) The Sony 24mm is still out of my budget for now, but maybe in the near future. Great video!

[@aboynamedjamil]

Thanks for watching man! I really appreciate it.

[@duvalpenny100]

The 20mm 1.8 is also the reason I don't own the 24GM. But at the price you got it for, I also would've bought it lol. That's a hell of a deal.

[@aboynamedjamil]

All facts! Thanks for watching. ✌🏾

[@Albert-11]

Hi, thanks for sharing, im using 1,4 24mm sigma for wedding

[@aboynamedjamil]

Good choice!

[@jennygarcia5227]

No not too tight. You look Great!!!🤗

[@TheFosseFilter]

I'm really tempted to get this lens too, my biggest hesitation is the age, does it stack up Vs more recent GM lenses?

[@aboynamedjamil]

Sir. I'm working on my full review now. But let me give you the inside scoop: I'M IN LOVE with it.

[@p.t.ngwolo1003]

You couldn't do this with the 20mm 1.8?

[@aboynamedjamil]

No

[@louinekay]

Hi, what app are you using when you edit your photos?

[@aboynamedjamil]

Hi. I use Lightroom and Snapseed.

[@louinekay]

@@aboynamedjamil is Snapseed also available for PC and Mac?

[@itsPhillipStaples]

Maybe I need to wear a hat because my head be shiny as a MF in my videos 😂😂

[@aboynamedjamil]

MAN! We gotta do what we gotta do don't we?!? Thanks for watching bro!

[@Thejoeymireles]

I’M TRIGGERED 😂 ☕️

Thanks for watching bro! Lol 🤣🤣
