Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM II Review and Comparison VS Sony Zeiss 24-70 f4

[@NOlimitsON]

What would you pick? 24-70 GM II lens, or a different option? #Sony2470GM #Sony2470f28 #Sony2470f28GMII

[@piotrart]

I would prefer the Auto mode on the aperture ring to be on the 2.8 side, rather than 22 as is the case.

[@AZisk]

nicely done! I’ve been using the Sigma ART and love it

[@NOlimitsON]

Thanks mate) stay tuned!

[@nanding7401]

between sigma art vs sony GM gen 1, what do you prefer?

[@AZisk]

never used the sony gm v1, but i love the sigma. just bought their new 70-200 too and love it

Nice review, really insightfull, thanks a lot! I'm trying to choose between 24-70 f4 Zeiss and 24-70 f2.8 GM ii for camera B, that i'm going to use in combination with 16-35 f4 Zeiss on camera A indoors for video in totally controlled environment in terms of light. And the fact 24-70 f4 Zeiss has this greenish tint means that I'll have to color correct to compensate for it. This is not great. But if my 16-35 f4 Zeiss has the same greenish tint, that would mean that it's better to avoid getting 24-70 f2.8 GM ii for my particular case, because if there's no tint difference, there's no need in color correction. Do you have any experience with 16-35 f4 Zeiss, and maybe spotted some tint issues there?

[@NOlimitsON]

Thanks) I think for b-cam you’ll be more than fine with Zeiss 24-70 f4. I didn’t use the 16-35mm f4 Zeiss, so no idea to be honest 😅

[@vpfedosov]

@@NOlimitsON after asking, I thought, damn, I've been using 16-35 Zeiss for several years now, and why am I asking you about its tint. I just wanted to hear the opinion from an expert. And I got it. Thanks, appreciate it.

[@Bo_Hazem]

I think if budget is a bit tight then Samyang's new 24-70mm f/2.8 AF is the best choice. Also it cost nearly as much as the Zeiss.

[@NOlimitsON]

Not a bad choice)

[@rayhinto]

And weights a ton...

[@Bo_Hazem]

@@rayhinto But be mindful of the Samyang 24-70mm f2.8 as many have got faulty, broken ones.

[@rayhinto]

@@Bo_Hazem I will pick the sigma 28-70 f2,8 it is an high end product and only around 400g

[@Bo_Hazem]

@@rayhinto I have it, its focus breathing is perfect for video. Cons are the yellow tint and the focus isn't as fast as the GM. Would say 9/10.

[@guerejinbm]

what model of diapters did you use in the comparison with the zeiss lens? thanks

[@NOlimitsON]

Some cheap no name diopters from AliExpress

[@alysonmalik1650]

thanks man , I appreciate your excellent work

[@NOlimitsON]

Thank you!

[@AlecKinnear]

Looks like you mislabelled or mixed up the stabilisation tests as the labelled GM 2.8 is darker than the Z 4 and much more stable (where you said that the Z 4 is more stable). Could you check?

[@NOlimitsON]

it's actually correct) I've double checked it

[@AlecKinnear]

Thanks for checking. Still it's a bit strange, as you say that the 24-70 Zeiss f4 is more stable with its optical stabilisation, when in fact the video on the right is far more stable, at least to my eye. @@NOlimitsON

[@ConwayGritty73]

The zeiss is obviously not a night or low light lens. It's a great lens. It's not for bokeh and night shooting.I can use a 200$ F 1.2 prime for low light and easily compare to the 2.8 GM.. at f8 and what most people do...shoot in the day.. the zeiss is a great lens.

[@markrhodes5474]

Excellent review

[@NOlimitsON]

Thanks mate! Stay tuned!

[@adilahnaf]

Expect mobile camera composition in next video

[@StevanNetto-qg7gx]

After Sony released the 20-70 f4 G, the Zeiss will have to be much cheaper to make sense.

[@NOlimitsON]

20-70 is so awesome!

[@loboptlu]

could someone tell me what a comparison between 2300€ and 680€ lens is worth ? someone who can will buy the gm , but for most people on a budget that test is absolutely worthless, yes i learn that a much more expensive lens is better ,of course otherwise you could call it a scam. compare lenses of same price class.

[@Jaronimo_g]

Its a great review, but i think it doesn't makes sense that you are comparing the gm f2.8 to the zeiss f4.0... it would be a better comparison to do gm f4.0 vs zeiss f4.0
