Sony 24-50 F2.8 vs Sony 24-70 F2.8 // Which should you buy?

[@Snidel]

I would love a comparison between the sigma 24-70 2.8 vs the sony 24-50mm 2.8

[@ibra.production]

me too

[@juliel7522]

Yes, seeing as they are priced about the same

[@VynZography]

AH yes this is the REAL choice. THB if I was considering a 24-70 F2.8 it would be the Sigma one based on price as the image seems about the same as the Sony GM one.

[@vijayanandramalingam2746]

Me too plz

[@AWAShowme]

That's what I searched for, but found this. I'm still glad I watched.

[@paullafleur6112]

Great comparison. Thanks. For me, the main takeaway for the 24-50 is that you get two lenses in one, so to speak. A FF 24-50 F2.8, and with APSC-crop also a 50-75. What do you think about that use-case? Given that thought, I’m surprised you did not mention the Tamron 20-40 F2.8. Very neat little lens. You get the 20-23mm on the wide end and can still APSC-crop to 60mm. Would that be a good option for travel and walkabout photography? I’d say yes.

[@Hobbies4Hire]

Great job on the video Chris! Thanks for making it.

[@pedroluis412]

Thank you. This is the best and most complete comparison I have seen. I'm Subscribed and liked.

[@vonwolfersdorff]

Love it. Speaking faster now? And how about the new rumor about a 24-70 f2.0 GM?? Greets from Berlin!

[@ocerodboomerbox397]

Amazing review, i'm going to get 24-50 f2.8 next week!

[@GlassfilmWeddings]

Rumors are that the Sony 24-70 f2.0 is coming!

[@GroschiLP]

in a scenario where I can only have two lenses the 24-70 makes more sense. Yes it's bigger but I'm also able to shoot a nice portrait spontaneously without changing the lens. Just the price tho..

[@VynZography]

Great video. man! I needed this very detailed comparison!

[@parptarf]

I legit want to replace my 24-70 Art with a 24-50 G Whenever I shoot with the 24-70 I always shoot between 24 and 50. If I go past 50 I'm always a little too short and would rather use an 85mm.

[@rrs6509]

hello, thanks for the video, what would you choose 20-70 f4 or 24-50 f2.8?

[@Marcus_Visbal]

As always, informative video Chris. Thank you for the consistent and practical videos 🤙

[@chrisbrockhurst]

My pleasure!

[@editor0range]

par-focal is nice. extended lens barrel at 24mm is just......... like a cheap kit lens. thanks for the comparison!

[@paulcollingridge8387]

The 16-35zf4 was the same.... didn't feel cheap, but it did feel counterintuitive

[@editor0range]

@@paulcollingridge8387 damn you´re right. I actually own that old zeiss 16-35. should´ve used it more. ^^

[@0x6679]

That's exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you!

[@CaptainRevs]

I prefer 50mm so the fact that 50mm is not the extended focal length is a lucky break... for me. I pre-ordered this lens and excited to get it.

[@alphaandomega2709]

Any updates?

[@CaptainRevs]

@@alphaandomega2709 I love the lens. It's better than expected.... sharp, small and compact. Covers the most important focal lengths for me 24, 35 and 50mm. Definitely recommend.

[@vincentsolon3216]

​@@CaptainRevs please post a video about your usage of that lens thanks

[@CaptainRevs]

@@vincentsolon3216 not really my thing - there's so many videos on KZbin already for that lens.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Zach and I will fight each other if you don’t.

[@stevenwaldstein2249]

Thanks for the video. As of May 2024 I own both the 24-70/2.8 GM II and use it with my A1 and A7RV and the new 24-50/2.8 G and use it on my A7CR and A7CII that I bought for lighter/smaller travel. I have the 70/2.8 GM II for two years now and the original GM before that. All great lenses and for me size does matter. Take care.

[@ambition2959]

Why doesn’t anyone compare the Sony 24-50 to the sigma 24-70 mk ii? They both have the updated technology, they’re super close in price point

[@superstringsbro]

If the 24mm was compacted and not extended on the 24-50 I probably would have moved from Canon to Sony. I want a small zoom.

[@__RAFAL__]

Or maybe future Sony 24-70mm f/2?

[@LeeAxonisDigifin]

Answer...20mm reach? I'm just taking a guess btw.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Few others too

[@dkmchui]

I can only see 24-50 f2.8 useful as a travel lens when I visit Asian cities. For other places 24-105 f4 is fine.

[@robinprobyn1971]

I wish they would zoom the same way as all cine zooms . This is an advantage of Sigma . If Sony is going after folk used to cine zooms they should change , but stills folk might get pissed off ? Their power zooms ,you can change it in the camera menu.

[@ourhouseuk]

Why are you suggesting people Use in cam cropping?

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Because it works very well

[@ourhouseuk]

@@chrisbrockhurst do you get the full shot still in raw? If not, I don’t see why anyone would do this vs post crop. Thanks!

[@SPDTDL]

Wait for the new 24-70 f2 😮 💰

[@nilanjanbiswas4416]

Price will be 5000$

[@Pharesm]

Which one I'd buy? Neither! I pretty much stick to prime lenses and sliders I don't own a single zoom, excepting the RX100v. There was no choice.

Get a Tamron instead.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Also an option

[@wilsonsilva6226]

We have the 24-105 F4 and is much better and versatile.. for me, that lens is a big mistake..

[@lewcehjitl3282]

More like we are spoiled as Sony shooters. Once you shoot F2.8 and also can shoot F4 making it more versatile you won’t go back to F4 lenses. Overall a Win Win for Sony.

Tamron 20-40 F/2.8 or Sony 24-50 F/2.8 ?
