Lmao, I see I spoke you up in this video! Great to see you in here. Keep up the dope content bro! 💪🏽

[@RichFuchsia]

haha this comment made my day...

[@TonyC0101]

When I first started doing weddings years ago, I used a 24-70 because that's what was taught to do. Years later when I switched to Sony, I traded my zooms for f/1.4 primes and two dual cameras. That kinda worked for a while, but then I got the Sigma 24-70 and used that for my weddings, and it's been such a relief! I forgot that I could cover 80% of the wedding day with just one camera and lens, and just switch to a 14-24 or 70-200 for the little bit of time that I would need them. The other advantage was that with that particular lens, the minimum autofocus distance is INSANELY close..like to the tip of the lens hood close, which makes it perfect for detail and pseudo-macro shots! Some say that primes are sharper than zooms, but that's relative. Some say that the bokeh is better on primes, but that's also relative, and dependent on personal preference. Sure, you'll get 2-stops of light difference for less noise, but the Sony files give lots of room for adjusting and noise reduction in editing. Regardless, it is always good to use the gear that works for YOU!

[@gregorybeale]

Wow you got a great deal on it! Did you consider the Sigma 24-70 2.8? Im looking at that for next year.

[@TonyC0101]

@@gregorybeale Yes, I mentioned it in my post. It's a must-have lens!

[@PiaJustynn]

Thank you for this comment. I currently own 2 prime lenses from the sigma trio for my APS-C and I will upgrade to a full frame in the future. I shoot families on occasion but I mainly use my camera for making contents, as that’s how I am learning. Even in a controlled environment like mine, I already find changing lenses to be a hassle especially when I use a gimbal. I can imagine that being more so for you on your wedding shoots. I am definitely considering the 24-70. Cheers.

[@keith-knittel]

The image of a prime vs the convenience of a zoom is a constant struggle. I think you made a good trade though!

[@TerryWarfield]

Right! I think I came out on the better end of this one tho. Thanks for watching!

[@kickfila]

Thats where im at with it all the time man, couldn't have said it better myself. Im just starting my youtube channel and im not in love with the image im getting from my 24-70 gmaster and been entertaining getting a 24mm 1.4 because i really want a sharp wide prime. I even tested out the 12-24 the other day in the store with my camera and the test footage is effin bananas!! Like i was mind blown. Anyways the struggle continues lol

[@clydealmeida]

I think the only logical sense from this trade is, you've got a much more expensive lens for a lot less. Other than that ...the rest of ur reasons don't make sense cos a prime has its place and a zoom lens has its place too. When shooting with a prime...ur mind shouldn't be even considering shots at other focal lengths. Also the decision to put on a prime lens on ur body in the first place is based on what you are about to shoot. If u r gonna be shooting a scene where u are the only photographer and the client is expecting a variety of photos, then u either have 2 bodies with primes on them or a single body with a zoom that covers the focal ranges of both the primes or have 2 photographers. So yea ...I think you need both..the prime and the zoom and use them as per requirement of the job. I think u know this and that the only real reason you went ahead with the deal is cos u were getting the better end of itl. With the money saved from the exchange, you are going to buy the 24mm 1.4 back in some time. Haha..only time will tell!

The thing i love about this is that you identified what your use case is and picked the right tools for that job. I've got the 24 GM with the tamron 28-75, and couldn't be happier with the pair. You've gotta have a normal range zoom in your kit!

[@ericphilpott9468]

Great video, Terry. Thank you! I can relate to the problem! My current combo is the 20mm f1.8 plus the 24-105mm F4.

@@TerryWarfield All I want is the perfect camuhruh....

[@ariels3890]

Damn, that is a huge come up! I’ve actually been considering selling a couple of my primes to slim down my kit and getting the Sigma 24-70 2.8.

[@TerryWarfield]

I think you would be happy with that!!

[@ahamedriyaz8657]

I'd suggest check the tamron out. IQ is incredible for the size and price. I would either pick the tamron on a budget or the gm for the absolute best. I've seen quite a few reviews comparing the tamron to the gm and I really couldn't tell a difference. I've had the tamron for more than a year now and it's my favourite

[@ahamedriyaz8657]

@Whatever Keeps You Calm true it also depends on what you do. I tend to shoot on gimbal and 28-70 is my most used. My arms are probably weak to constantly handle the sigma on a gimbal

[@esongun]

To me, 24mm has never been wide enough and 70mm never long enough. 24-70 is no doubt a range that I can do without. 16-35, 70-200 coupled with some primes was the way to go for me. Surely, this has been the case for me and my style of photography and might not be the best for many people out there.

[@rogerserra3711]

Sometime versatility is KING. You do you. Great job.

[@TerryWarfield]

For sure! Thanks man!

[@ghas4151]

Get yourself a second body and rock two prime lenses. Ideal set up with no compromise on image quality.

[@sniperv]

That’s exactly my thoughts as soon as I heard his complaints.

[@holdmyown32]

Agreed.

[@Altai22]

Pretty sure most pros carry at least 6 or maybe 7 cameras with different lenses on their bodies at all times.

[@Istdochallesnurgeklauteyo]

@@Altai22 how and why would a "pro" need to carry 6 or 7 cameras with mounted lenses on? As if more is better and someone likes to carry like 20 kg of gear.2-3 lenses for event photography maybe if you need the low-light capability of a 1.4 prime or something.New modern zoom lenses are incredibly sharp and i´d say if you compare a excellent zoom with a mediocre prime with high aperture - i´d take the zoom. It all depends on ur needs and what genre you are specialised in. Landscape photographs mostly carry 2-3 lenses i´d say because if you travel and hike around areas - every pound you can save starts to count and you have the time to change lenses and arent in need of multiple bodies.

[@EduardoValadez3]

@@Istdochallesnurgeklauteyo woosh

[@ktroopa]

what a deal! The 24-70/2.8 used is just about the same price of a 24mm so I'm not too surprised he did a straight trade.

[@TerryWarfield]

Yeah I found that out today lol

[@Самсебепсихолог-п6г]

😆

[@HGQjazz]

But the 24mm was also used.

[@TheLDunn1]

The other option would have been to have kept the 24/1.4 & I think you mentioned in a prior video that you had a 85GM already, so just to have bought a second body. This way, you’d have instant access to both 24 & 85 and both at 1.4, and if you are doing paid work, it also gives you the safety net of a back up body should something go wrong.

[@MarioSoMedia]

Totally second your decision as a zoom lens dude myself! Having shot weddings for 6 years now I can't tell you enough how zoom lenses have saved my life in those moments when you have a split second to capture the shot. I would like to get the 24-70GM but it's too $ so currently stuck with the Tamron 28-75 f2.8.

[@TerryWarfield]

Yeah this zoom is clutch. And why not shoot for the sigma 24-70? It’s literally just as good as the Gm for a thousand bucks cheaper

[@MarioSoMedia]

@@TerryWarfield might look into that. Thanks!

[@thepinnacle6199]

Thats why I like the combo of 24, 55 & 24-105 - can break out the zoom if you get sick of changing lenses. But if I was doing paid work I’d go for two bodies - stick the 24 on one and a 55 or 85 on the other. That’s a no compromise setup that’s easier to use.

[@ladavidt]

I would have done the same, the versatility is unbeatable and shoot, can't beat that trade deal. That's a come up! Dope video my guy.

[@TerryWarfield]

Thank you man!

[@kentao4]

Hell of a deal. I have the 24-105 for now but I’m eyeing that one for the future. I thought you were going to say the 20mm from the beginning. I’m loving mine so far.

[@TerryWarfield]

Haha. I love the 20mm too. I’m going to end up buying one or either another 24mm once I have some more money saved up

[@biohazard2030]

You’re not crazy. I bought a Sigma 24-70 when I bought my A7C and it’s literally the only lens I own and I use it for everything! However now that I have the A7IV I wish I had Sony G master so I could have better active stabilization on top of that new focus breathing compensation feature that added

[@techdathoward]

Saw the 16-35GM at Best Buy and it’s not as big as I expected. Loved the compactness of that zoom. But then again I have the 24-70GM so anything is going to be small for me lol.

[@TerryWarfield]

Man this bad boy is MASSIVE lol

[@NatyMidnight]

oh same, I was about to say cause I own the 24-70 GM and it’s a work out but you get used to it 😅 it’s heavier than the 16-35 GM so now I’m Like oh that’s LIGHT work 🤣

[@mertmehmed6696]

That's why I use 2 bodies with 2 primes. But still sometimes I feel like a 24-70 could be much better. However if I have the time or want to get creative, primes are a joy to use.

[@DamienTalksMoney]

Got me sold mate. Subscribed to this great content and just added a 24 1.4 to my shopping basket because I do talking head and I also love that look.

[@danpk1977]

My wife and I just went the opposite direction. A big reason we can do that is that we have 2 camera bodies. So we will be using the 24mm f/1.4 and the 85mm f/1.4. We shoot a lot of low light type of situations and having the extra stop was important to us. That being said the 24-70mm is an amazing lens and it makes perfect sense for the trade.

[@BrianTheCameraGuy]

Dude that is not crazy. The zoom makes a lot of sense. I just picked up the Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 after watching Gerald Undones video. Sony 20mm is great for vlogging. Rumors that a 16mm are coming in the spring. Might be a good combo with that GM.

[@TerryWarfield]

That would be sickkkk

[@DanielSilva-te1ww]

My first lense was a sony 16-35 GM. Wish I would have went with the 24-70 GM. Much more versatile. I almost never shoot at 16mm. Mostly, 24-85mm. I did just pick up the 24mm GM. Havent got a chance to use it much. Hoping to over winter break. Thanks for the video. Watch out for those Zoom haters...!

[@TerryWarfield]

Same. I really wanted the 16-35 at first but now that I have the 24-70, I think it’s a much better fit for my usage

[@AbrahamTario]

I can’t wait for my 16-35 2.8 Gansta Mode!

[@atomikmaster1]

Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 8 is my go to for this. Light weight and f2.8 cost at near half price 👍🏿 Also I have the 17-28mm Twin peaks right there 👍🏿

[@keystonebrotherb]

I compared this to the Tamron 17-70 2.8 on aps-s. The sharpness is so good on the Tamron. I can get an 18mp grab on my riii and I’m happy. I have the Sigma 24-70 and it’s stellar. For a backup, the 6400 w/Tamron is just great.

[@sadeqsegaraga8766]

Which one is better tho? The Tamron or Sigma(outside the different focal lenght)?

[@keystonebrotherb]

@@sadeqsegaraga8766 Both are stellar.

[@MitchSummers]

You got a sweet deal! Now tell me the 16mm sigma, how much vignetting are you getting and how much cropping do you have to do?

[@TerryWarfield]

Actually making an entire video on this. But had to crop in about 15-20% to get rid of the vignette and back to a 24mm equivalent FOV

[@forwardfilms1627]

I have the tamron 28-75 2.8 it’s a hell of a lens

[@TerryWarfield]

😂😂😂😂

[@ForrestWest]

I thought you were going to say you went with the 35mm gm Sony lens so you could crop in to 50mm. I already have the 85mm 1.8 so that 35mm 1.4 GM will be my next lens. Good luck and happy shooting!

[@mixxinmel]

Nice choice but i love the 28-75. 2.8 Tamron.

[@KoelAnderson]

I’m with you on this bro. So tired of swapping lenses and risking dust on the sensor etc. I just want to have one lens on my camera for 90% of what I’m shooting. I copped a brand new 28-70 kit lens from a local listing for $150 and haven’t taken it off my a7siii yet. Not the BEST lens but still usable for almost everything...for $150 im laughing

[@TerryWarfield]

Yeah man. Convenience is king. Also, make the best out of what you have! You can make some killer stuff with that combo. Obviously your results will only get better with better glass!

[@slurp3194]

For such an expensive camera you need better glass mate. Glass> camera. Always

[@ajjwaterreus3045]

I also shoot with the 24 & 85mm, and I love the 24 mm! That lens is really magical. And thats the reason why I own 2 camera so I don't have to switch between the 2 lenses.

[@HGQjazz]

Or you could do all your 24mm shooting, then do your 85mm and only change lenses once.

[@johnzimm]

17-28 usually never leaves my a7siii but I do use sigma 16 and 30 1.4 on a7iii for certain shots and no one would probably notice. Ain't no shame in my game

[@TerryWarfield]

There shouldn’t be! Great combo

[@DelDelap]

Having the same predicament, although don’t want sell my 24mm gm - unsure to either go for the 24-70gm or the Sigma 24-70! Only thing pointing me to the gm is that I saw a comment on Facebook that the sigma is prone to dust, not sure how true this is thou! Good review by the way I’m new to your channel!

[@SubyTV]

I heard this too. Sand gets in and you can’t get it out. The gm is better weather proofed. I’m torn between the gm or the sigma, £500 difference where I am.. which to go for!!!

[@thomastuorto9929]

Entertaining vid. Most use full lens out for most people. The best solution for working commercially would of been to have 2 pro bodies with the 2 different lens. But hey , I can't afford ( really that means justify $$$ ) that anyway.

[@TerryWarfield]

I have a second body (a7iii) I just hate lugging two cameras unless I have to lol

[@chryseass.5143]

Hey Terry, you make that 24-70 GM look good! I am weakling so I have the 24f1.4GM plus the Tamron 28-75. I am very happy with this combo but since I purchased those lenses the 20 f1.8G lens and now the new Sigma 24-70 have come out and that is a tempting combo. Don't overlook the Tamron 17-28 lens - super sharp but I wish it went to 35mm for versatility. You made a great trade!

[@ridhish.devani]

I've been primarily using the 28-75 Tamron for all my freelance work (A mixture of theatre/corporate/b-roll segments for small businesses) and I'm looking to either get a 24mm or a 85mm... Not sure which one will help to add more versatility to my filming. I 95% of the time do video and feel that the 24mm (Thinking samyang or viltrox 1.8 oppose to the 1.4 purely cause of the price tag) may add that versatility of getting some wide shots + I could use it for my talking head videos I do on youtube. Do you have any advice for me? The 85mm 1.8 looks so tempting as well, but that would be more for my enjoyment in photography and not directly for my videography. Thanks in advanced!

[@chryseass.5143]

@@ridhish.devani The 24 f1.4 GM is a lovely lens and would probably give you much more versatility . Save up for it! 85f1.8 is nice but I rarely reach for it since I own zoom telephoto lenses that work just as well for portrait work and don't forget that you can always crop in with the Tamron - hope that helps!

That's a real lucky swap man, value wise. But since I ain't jacked like you, I went with the Sigma 28-70 + Sony 20 1.8. That's all my puny arms can handle! 😂 Tell you what though, that combo punches way above its weight class (and price tag). Keep up the good work!

[@manuelpolitis7123]

The swap worked in your favor. Now that you are here take my advice- (I have been doing this stuff since the early 70s) I don’t know everything but I will tell you never sell quality. Don’t be afraid to acquire quality. If you had bought into a cheaper lens you could not have made your awesome swap. You still have around $1,000 equity in your deal - save for a 70-200 or cash in for the 20mm or the 35 1.8. Great job on the piece - your killing it - keep working hard

I remember when you got that and I remember a *very* hyped man. You must mean what you say about that 24-70. I own the Canon L (their high end line, red ring around the front) versions of both their 24mm f1.4 and 24-70 f/2.8 and have experienced the same results. Sharp af and versatile. These days I only use the prime in the club. I do lots of party/crowd/on the dance floor shoots for a DJ company and it reigns supreme in that setting, but for everything else it’s the 24-70 or my 70-200L big grey lady. Zoom FTW if we’re talking high end copies like the G-Master and the L Series. Man your videos are getting better each time you release. Production on point. (One critique: Yo. Got to your fonts folder on your computer and delete the following fonts: Arial, Comic Sans, and Papyrus. You’ll thank me later. They’re a punchline in the design world for a reason. Overuse, and by all the wrong people. I caught a whiff of Papyrus at the beginning. Said this out of love. Get a second opinion, ask any designer friend about those three fonts)

[@heyjakers]

Back in college when I shot weddings I had two old 5D bodies so I could have one with the 85 and one with the 35. I love one body with a zoom but nothing beats two bodies with primes.

[@nightcoder5k]

4:38 Probably you need a second camera, one with a specialized lens?

[@jakejamesdougal]

Yeah, as much as I love primes, the versatility of zooms is hard to say no to. I use the 24-70 2.8 Sigma Art on my a7RIII and it’s just an absolute beast and workhorse, built like a tank with just beautiful results. I loved the Sigma APS-C primes on my a6300 but for travel and every day usage, it’s gotta be the 24-70

[@TerryWarfield]

I bounce back and forth between HLG3 and Slog3 on the a7siii. On the A7iii I still use HLG3

[@Rednyc1979]

TerryWarfield ah thanks for the reply. I bought your luts and have been using your settings. My IG is rednyc_ I would love your feed back on some of my recent videos. I love the look you pull out of the A7iii

[@techdathoward]

Team 24-70 GM & 20 G!!! Let’s gooooo! Do it bro lol.

[@TerryWarfield]

Let’s go!

[@DocBoA]

Top Notch Content homie. I'm deciding between these 2 lenses for my a7c. Salut

[@garfieldmtify]

Very nice video too!! I would love to see a bit more footage since at the end of the day for me that is the main reason unless of course you say we are going to talk lots about a lens. You information is great. I am going to wait however for an update of 24-70 since it has not been updated for a very long time and pair it with A1. Since 135 - 1.8 is a much newer lens I am curious to see what happens. Have you tried to the 135 1.8 GM? If not when will you? That should be cool I would think. Keep crushing it!

[@muleyg]

The 24-70mm f2.8 GM is going be to way too heavy for me. I'm going for the 24mm GM mainly because of the weight.

[@A1Bokeh]

When I first started all I had was primes. Not gonna lie when I got a zoom it was fun and the convenience so now days I am picky lol but when the situation varies I'll keep that zoom on

[@jayhovanec]

Great review! You just got a new sub! I'm on the CLE as well. I'd love to meet up sometime and compare notes or maybe do some KZbin collabs. 🤘😎

[@TylerCave]

Sounds like you are missing the 24 1.4. You will be back

[@kenloyd]

Content was great, lighting too -- but the thing I enjoyed most about this video was your personal style. Talk about keepin' it real...? Hell yeah.

[@adriantxu]

I was expecting something different, I actually agree.

[@TerryWarfield]

💯💯

[@Anonymous99997]

I love my 24-105 and 16-35.

[@Donbros]

I am also for the zooms just that they are expensive especially hm. And then maybe buy primes for favorite or rare focal lengths - for studio stuff. Outside run n gun situstion its annoying to change lenses yes. Though you can do so much iwth 20mm or 24mm

[@PiaJustynn]

Wow! What a lucky trade! Great lens!

[@go4acro]

Thanks for sharing, happy to know I am not the onlyone scanning for lenses.

[@sbove]

2 bodies for sure w/ killer 24 and 85 primes. and you have a backup if one fails.

[@kyra_james]

Great video! I’m on Canon and I loooooove the 24 1.4 but the versatility of 24-70 2.8 is huge and I’m not made of money so can’t really do both and I love a simple kit. Gonna make the switch. 🥂

[@segrad1]

Stumbled across your video by accident. Dope video, entertaining, and you in the gym. Had to sub. I'll check out more of your videos this week. PEACE from ATL ✊🏾📸

[@TerryWarfield]

WhAt up my guy! Thanks for joining the squad!

[@KofiYeboah]

Had my sub at “gangsta mode” 😂

[@TerryWarfield]

Haha my guy

[@sodobson]

Learning alot. Thanks for the great info pal. Appreciate the time.

[@GoodGuysMedia]

I struggle between my 24 to 70 vs my sigma 35mm 1.4....shooting video, the look I achieve with 35mm 1.4 separates me from the pack of other sony shooters in my area. It's like my secret sauce😆. Although I love my 24 to 70, the 1.4 gives me the edge. However that 1.4 on a wide lens like the 24mm isn't so important in my opinion, so I think you made the right choice. I hate swapping lenses bro

[@Staygold31]

U saved my money right now cuz i was looking into the 24mm & I already had the 24-70 GM...and you’ve reminded me that I NEED TO USE IT MORE OFTEN lol Thanks man!

[@KittyCow]

Lol, I always recommend to everyone for anyone's first lens to get a 24-70mm f2.8 no matter what camera you on. Then you can build primes after that

[@ridhish.devani]

I have a 28-75mm Tamron lens, which is BEAUTIFUL - its so versatile, sharp and has been amazing to learn with and start my freelancing journey on. Now I'm looking to invest in a prime lens. I'm edging towards a 24mm as I think the ability to shoot wide would help my talking head segments for youtube + help with establishing shots when I'm out shooting projects. I WANT an 85mm but I feel that is more for my enjoyment in photography as a hobbiest. I primarily shoot videos and feel that the 28mm on the tamron isn't wide enough at times, but hasn't been an issue so far... Any thoughts? Thanks in advanced!

[@KittyCow]

@@ridhish.devani You couldn't go wrong with either of them since both very popular lens, although I don't do video. I do have a 14-24 f 2.8 Sigma that is super good for video because of the versatility/wide and built in lens stabilization., they also have a 14mm 1.4 that couldn't go wrong with either.

[@realJonSpringer]

Bro, your videos are a breath of fresh air compared to the rest of KZbin photographers out there. Keep it up - love your stuff! - J

[@figo007tv]

My dream lens. Gad damn. 2+ stacks Yo, good looking out for me in regards to the Sony 85mm 1.8 a couple months ago. Real talk. Salute on that 24-70 mm 1.4 beast.

[@TerryWarfield]

No doubt bro!

[@burtonphoto]

Man…this is exactly where I’m at right now. Been looking at the Tamron 24-70 g2 for my EOS R. I just can’t make up my mind. My preferred photography is urban style portraits.
