It’s a good travel lens and funny enough, I got it for a Portugal trip. I didn’t get the vignetting issue, I did see that 2.8 is NOT to be used a lot for the architecture, clearly, as you stated.

That's awesome! Sounds like it served you well for your Portugal trip :) Yeah, architecture at f/2.8 can definitely be tricky-stopping down makes all the difference. Glad to hear you didn’t run into the vignetting issue though! Thanks for sharing your experience! 😊

I dont the negative comments here. For the price this lens is great!! other 24-70 are also heavy (except the GM2 which costs 2x). I have it on my S5 and I am really happy :) Got it for 780€ in mint condition

Well there is another 24-70mm f2.8 for sony which you missed. And that is the Samyang 24-70 f2.8 for sony. That lens is crazy sharp, very good autofocus performance but it's a very heavy lens.
@JacekSopotnicki8 ай бұрын
True! Samyang is one of my favourite brands! Haven't test their zoom yet but really hoping to do that soon!
@m-stat98 ай бұрын
the samyang is crap, not much cheaper, and much heavier (1050g)
@Kemstylebossy7 ай бұрын
Mine broke but i love the quality i wouldn’t recommend it tho, the zoom got stuck then it stop picking up on the camera maybe i got a bad one but would not recommend the samyang, i just bought the sigma which i should have done but was being cheap.
@UltiK5 ай бұрын
I don’t recommend the Samyang 24-70… heavy with plastic brackets that holds the metal ring. Broke easily due to the high weight… it is cheaper but not for good reason..

When you make the assumption that the Gm lens is better in every way like sharpness. There are many people who dont like how the gmll renders an image. Sharpest doesnt always mean the best. I wish Tamron would make a traditional 24/70 f2.8 like they used to make. I still have my old Canon mount that i adapt.
@JacekSopotnicki8 ай бұрын
You nailed it - I like Tamron the most (specifically 28-70 2.8 G2 - version II), but no 24mm :/ But I'm really hoping to see one in the future. BTW. I'm releasing 28-70 g2 review next month so stay tuned.

i thought lens breathing compensation only works on certain sony lenses?

It does, but the AF is so good on A7IV

There is a lot of distortion on this lens at both ends - 24 and 70. The 35-50 range is pretty good, but I think its a return unfortunately! This was my first l mount lens for the BMCC 6k full frame and it was a bit of a let down. However, I am a hard critique as my other 24-70 is the RF f2.8 which is very incredible.

One thing for sure II version fixed it :)
@Lathrop_Media4 ай бұрын
@JacekSopotnicki I think I actually like the distortion now haha, not for everything but overall I think the lens is fine, and 24mm on the cinema cam with no lens correction is gonna look wider than my crop sensor hybrid brain can handle!
@maciejryglewicz97752 ай бұрын
@@JacekSopotnicki mark II didnt fix it. There is still a lot of terrible distortion especially at 24mm.

Having a lens with a mustache effect is not what you want. Trust me, mustache effect is the worst. 〰️

:))) I love your moustache effect, but in lens it's a tragedy ;)

Biggest problem with this lens is that it zooms the wrong way.... honestly wish I had bought something different just because of that....

Yeah, totally know the feeling - you try to get used to it but it's like moving from PS5 controller to Switch controller - different layout always huts ;)

True - but it's not a lens that I would travel with. Tamron 28-75 is much better choice for travel
@m-stat98 ай бұрын
835g is not ‚ridiculous‘ you troll. And all you Tammy fanboys are annoyong. 28-75 has worse quality and lacks the 24mm.
