Answering the REAL questions we wanted to know! Some high value, practical insight here. I'd love a video comparing this to the 24mm/35mm/50mm 1.4 primes in terms of practical use cases and quality (if you have them on hand and have the time of course). A big thanks from someone considering investing in this or a combination of the primes mentioned above.

Renting it right now and I like the versatility that it brings. Yes it's 1.8 and based on my eyes the quality is very close to the GM primes. I find myself using 45 more often and "forget" that it's a zoom (internal zoom is awesome). What's great is that to me it feels like it's a 45mm prime that can "clear image zoom out" to 28mm. The size and weight isn't a problem. Most folks who say that a lens is too big or bulky are the same ones who rig up their cameras to the max.

I can tell you from my experience for the use case I need I'm mostly in 35mm and few times at 28mm and for some product shots 50mmm. I was at first like 28-45 not enuff until I realised 80% of my video shoots is at that range. Great explanation.

The way to look at this is a prime lens that can cover 28-45. Easily justified by its price and when you dont want to deal with readjusting yourself all the time. That range sounds bad in paper but good in practice.

@jamesjackson42646 ай бұрын
That’s is why I love that tamron 35-150 as a photographer. Weight be damn cause I got it on a z9. To zoom out to 35 and then zoom I to something like 75 and then 135 is crazy talk. Does it give me as man “magical” shots as the 50mm 1.2. I would argue almost with that close focus. 1.2 light never tho. I shot events with that thing with no flash which should not even be possible. As a black man my back has been use to the weight since around 12 years of age!!!

28 for places, 45 for faces: either way you're zooming with your feet, but you're getting two different looks. I'm a long way from buying this lens (it's probably number 4 on my to-buy list currently) but I can definitely see the use. Heck, just getting an extra stop of light for 120fps basketball filming would make this fun. Plus it's real and who knows if that mythical 24-70 F2 is ever going to be announced.

I do not have the mentality of just use a prime. I know there is differnece. My question would be how to choose this or 24-70 f2.8 if you are one man shooter and want use one lens for most of the day. That is hard descion. Personally I still lean toward 24-70 f2.8.

The f1.8 alone... Is enough for me. I usually need slightly wide than tighter. I like 50mm. So being able to have 1.8 50 but also go to 35 and 28 in a second. Works great. I'd love a 24 but I can def make do with 28

Another reason why this lens doesn't get its credit for being a f/1.8 short heavy zoom is because of a lot of cheaper and lighter FF alternatives on Sony: Tamron 17-50 f/4 (under $600 new; slow, slight, most versatile gimbal lens) Tamron 20-40 f/2.8 (under $600 new; fast, light, versatile) Sigma 24-35 f/2 (under $600 used; another ultra fast internal zoom) Sigma 28 f/1.4 (under $600 used; even faster on wide end and take advantages of the different crops modes on hi-res bodies, e.g. A1, a7R5, a7IV) ...
