Interesting.. 🤔 I use a number of Tamron lenses with my ZVE1, never once lost focus. Sticks to my eyes even in eyeglasses.

I'm looking for a good macro lens for my sony, any recommendations Vic?

[@VicBarry]

Hey Robbie, oooohhhh. Tough one. What are you looking at shooting? And what’s the budget? 😆

[@Premier_lawns_official]

@@VicBarry don't really want to go over 1k, stuff in the garden / lawn. Looking for some stuff that you don't usually see for the gram To go on the end of my A7 IV

[@ucpham-pc3ix]

@@Premier_lawns_official laowa is the best budget option out there. pick the laowa 90mm f2.8 apo macro and it will stay with u for a long time.

[@zeneox]

@@Premier_lawns_official I have had very good experiences with macro lenses from Laowa. Most of them are simply with manual focus.

Hola. Me compré una Sony FX3 y quiero comenzar con el cine (independiente) de ficción. No tengo lentes. Pienso comprarme el Sirui 85mm F1.4, más que todo por el enfoque automático. Y también quiero un lente angular, Sirui tiene unas lentes de cine que me llaman la atención, pero no son de enfoque automático. ¿Qué me recomendarías?

[@VicBarry]

Quite a lot of cine lenses across all brands don’t have autofocus at all as it would usually be a focus puller that would handle it on set. Granted you could just put on your own follow focus and do it manually (easier than having a focus puller) or alternatively get a follow focus with lidar and it’ll make the lens act as an autofocus lens. The 85 Sirui is definitely a good start though.

Para comenzar deja a un lado el auto foco cómprate un lente cinematográfico 35mm t1.05 es todo terreno

5:01 that wasn't so bad, Camera Raw or possibly even Lightroom could possibly fox this. If too bad I us Camera Raw in Photoshop anf use layer masks to fix spesific areas with spesific color of fringing to not effect areas with same color, just brush in corrected areas. In this scene it wasn't bad. But on picture doesn't tell the whole story. But looks promising. If it performs as well in many more scenerios, it might be the lens to go for. Which I have to do even with 24-70mm GMII lens. It's like morse code. But yellow, green, or age, magenta, blue, purple. Even color noise especially at window shades, vents on buildings, car grills. Not as bad on the fe 85mm 1.8. But I still has some. Still have to us photoshop on some pics. But don't use that lens anymore, but kept it anyway. But the Surui seems to beat this lens price is similar, but more features. Maybe I should get one as a replacement for my Sony FE 85mm 1.8. 🤔 If you can get your hands on one it would be interesting to how they compare. Cus the price is about the same new. I got mine used from a dealer. The weight isn't a bad thing if one want a portrait lens prime and shoot in slower shutter speeds, but with 1.4 one doesn't need to shoot as low. But the weight will make it easier to hold. The Sony fe 1.8 feels too light, unbalanced. So sucks for slow shutter speed, but it's 1.8 vs 1.4 her ei think it's might be an winner. But I Fone don't want the added dwieght it's not optimal.

[@TheNewArtSchool]

Great video! Is it better than the legendary Canon EF L 135mm f/2?

[@VicBarry]

😅 thank you and thanks for watching and dropping a comment. very different lens for a start so can’t really compare an 85 to that

[@axisproductionsltd]

Sounds great. Make this telephoto and it’s game over.

[@EddieInzauto]

That CA doesn’t look bad at all, and I’m a big CA hater. One of my biggest eyesores from lenses’ images.

[@VicBarry]

Hey Eddie, ha. Yep. Totally agree. Was pleasantly surprised

[@mrdamiansingh]

This is why canon does allow third party! lol

[@VicBarry]

😜

[@blindrocket]

Saving money is a good thing!

[@VicBarry]

Sure is 😅

[@sambal7504]

LV handbags will never "game over." Even if there are other bags are more practical or functional, there will always be a large group of people buying LV.

[@VicBarry]

Hey 👋 yeah. Totally fair point. And while I get it, you’re average Joe is probably a bit more aware of an LV bag than something that’s arguably a bit more niche like a Sony G master lens, especially at a distance. But fair point.
