Sony 24-50 G f2.8 First Experience.

I am swapping my 24-70 G Master for the new Sony f2.8 24-50 G Lens. My thinking about the swap is in last weeks video and my initial experience of using it for a few days is covered in this video.
In a street photography walkabout in London on the South Bank, I'll be talking about size and weight and how the lens feels on my Sony A1. I'll also talk about the resolution and the practicalities of the zoom range. There is some barrel distortion with this lens so I will talk about that as well.

With my a7c the weight would be only 949g. With my tamron 17-28 (420g) it is even less at 929g. I think these two lenses complement together very well and these share the same 67mm filter size. The 17-28 is very good on gimbal with its internal zoom that don’t change the balance. Th 24-50 would be nice to get the standard zoom 40/50 and the 35 for minimum distortion in wide lens. It provides the 24/28 for wide shot group and landscape. The 17-28 provides 17/20 good for vlogging and those that use active stabilization. I don’t care about AS, i use a gimbal for better result and no crop. My a7c has no AS anyway. It has gyro stabilization though. However i don’t need it with the superb weebill 3s gimbal.

That's a good option, and it's an f2.8 isn't it?

@@TheVideoDarkroom yes f2.8. i think a nice trio would be Tamron 17-28 f2.8 with Sony 24-50 f2.8 and Tamron 50-300 f4.5-6.3 (which have half macro capabilities). with that , we can do everything. And it is the most lightweight package full frame ever (420g + 440g + 545g = 1405g for 17-300mm fullframe lenses).

I would have bought this lens if it was 20-50/2.8, but as it is, Tamron 20-40/2.8 is just better.

I suppose it would have been hard to make it as small and light if it was 20-50. The Tamron 20-40 is a good range though.
