They have their 28-45/1.8 which is obviously similar. Slightly faster but less on the tele end.

Now am I right in assuming I'll be safe to sell my 50mm 1.2 for this? The versatility seems like a bigger plus than the 1.2 I rarely use anyway
@benjhaischАй бұрын
Oddly enough I think the 50/1.2 might be the only lens in that range that really compliments this one as the 1 1/3 extra light makes a big difference, but if you don’t use it at f/1.2 then definitely.
@ginoraasАй бұрын
@@benjhaisch Agree. It is very difficult to replace a 50 1.2, in particular if you work both in photo and video at 1.2/1.4. In photo is a perfect portrait and "people" lens, the one that sells the shooting itself, and in video is amazing almost in every situation in that range of aperture, mostly for Broll stuff. The "carry" factor is another story and type of variable.
@JusttJCАй бұрын
@@benjhaisch Yeah that makes sense! For most of the stuff I’m shooting and travelling with I just end up leaving it behind because it’s not as versatile to my 24-70 or my 35-150mm. I love the look it creates but it’s also hard to justify keeping it when I don’t use it anywhere near enough

I think I am gonna just stick to my Tamron 35-150 f2-2.8... since that lens is 35mm f2 / 55mm f2.2 / 75mm f2.5 so the amount of light you really lose is 1/3 or 2/3 for similar focal range, but then you have the ability to zoom out to 150mm also it has a 82mm filter thread not 86mm.

While for photography I just don’t enjoy shooting zoom lenses and I only do it when I absolutely have to, this thing would be AMAZING for video work. Good on Sony. If they’d managed to make it an all internal zoom, that would obviously be even better for gimbal use... maybe on the Mark II. :)

Want to compliment you on demonstrating the lens rather than sitting in your studio. I am turning off shills for most anything if all they do is talk in the studio. It's boring and really doesn't say much. I want to see how it works and where it is best positioned for someone. It's expensive so it's not a lens I want to take to the beach and shoot pictures of my kids in the sand. BTW, where are you shooting at? Canada? I see lots of trees and snow. I always like to know where people are shooting their stills and videos.

@@HelloAndyTung Yeah…but your RF has no onion rings built in, noticeably creamier bokeh, flare is less pronounced, ghosting less opaque and starburst happens sooner at f8 vs f22 for Sony. Vignetting and distortion can easily be fix via software, but no software fix for onion rings, opaque ghosting and pronounce(unartistic) flare. You have to be really pixel peeping to see corner to corner sharpness advantage. You go for canon for that “X factor 3d pop” in image quality. Sony is very clinical, in terms of IQ(less pop) IQ vs RF 28-70.
