If you could only pick one, would it be the 24mm f/1.4 GM, or the 85mm f/1.4 GM, or would you get the Sony 24mm GM and then a Samyang 85mm f/1.4? I don't have enough money for everything. :)

Trevor M Honestly, all of it. I prefer a wider focal length and 24mm is about perfect for me. Usually I prefer a 35mm but I have an a7riii, so I can easily crop in. I love its fast aperture, it’s weight and size, and just the general feel of it in my hands. For me, it’s just a lens that really makes me want to use it.

J J That’s kind of a tough one. Obviously zooms are more versatile but I prefer primes. And if I could only pick one prime to travel with, it’d be this one. I typically shoot wider shots and like I said, 24mm is pretty great for most of the styles I enjoy (landscape, astro, street). Plus I also have an a7riii, so I feel comfortable cropping in a good bit. Usually, my kit is just my 24mm, 55mm, and 70-180mm, so I feel weird if I don’t have it with me.

Pierre the first prime lens I bought for my A7II was the Zeiss Batis 85mm f1.4 and the second was the Sony Zeiss 16-35mm f4. Going through my files I found the vast majority of the photos I took with the 16-35 were right around 24mm, and so I decided to pull the trigger on the 24mm f1.4. Since I got my A7RIII the 24mm pretty much lives on it, except when I want the compression/look of a longer focal length and voila the 85mm is there. So happy to hear your go to lens combo is what I landed on myself. I love love love the 24mm for its performance but also its size. Can’t say enough good things about this lens. Walking around, close ups of people and my dogs, wide shots in the Shenandoah National Park - it just does a great job. Super follow up to the previous video, which factored heavily into my decision to buy the 24mm in he first place.

Great video. I used the 24-70 GM as my main lens for years but a few months ago went 16-35 G Master and it became my favorite lens. I could see where the 24mm which is smaller, and 1.4 vs 2.8 could definitely be worth trying. I have the Sony 28 f2, which is a super sharp lens though the G Master lenses have proven superior.

i absolutely agree with you. 24mm Prime is the most versatile lens you can choose. You can do nearly everything with it. And especially with 1.4 and close focus distance, you can shoot indoor, you can do environmental portraits, you can do close up photography with nice bokeh and so on. If only one lens, i would choose the 24mm. I loved my 16mm 1.4 Fujinon (=24mm on FF). And i sold all my Fuji gear and go with FF in the Future (because of dynamic range and shadow recovery). Maybe Sony and 24mm 1.4 or the Nikon Z6 and 24mm 1.8. But will go with only a 24mm lens. Less is more. Do Photography since 35 years, and meanwhile i can say, 24mm is the most versatile lens ever, you just have to learn, what you can do with it, and it´s a lot

I have 4 Sony and 2 Tamron lenses for my A7M3 and the 24mm GM was my first and still is the most used lens. 24mm just works on so many occasions for me. Just to name a few points, low light shooting is epic with this lens, the bokeh has the quality of the 85mm GM, the lens is so small and light that just like Pierre says it's much less intrusive in street photography than the usual full frame lenses and one of the best things is also that I know no other wide angle lens where distortion is such an absolute non-issue. My second most used lens is the 100mm STF GM, so I actually use my 2 prime lenses more often than my 4 zooms ;) PS Using prime lenses is actually very normal for all the Smartphone shooters out there, so I don't know why it shouldn't be normal on full frame cameras as well. Prime lenses are superior in many ways to zooms and the only disadvantage is actually the obvious ... the missing zoom.

I just discovered your video by chance and it's really great and well explained. Thank you!

But I feel 35 is a bit tight so I will get 24+85 when I upgrade to SONY FF by the end of the yr when a7 iv is released. I personally have my eye on a7 iv with 24GM and Sigma 85 Art DG DN.

Pierre, I think you have done a fantastic job showcasing the low light capabilities of the new Sony 24mm F.14 GM. I liked the video and subscribed to your channel. Do you think the low light capabilities of the 24mm F.14 GM outweigh the 16-35mm F2.8 GM for outdoor low light video conditions drastically? I do a lot of low light virtual walk tours with the 16-35mm F2.8 GM right now (Using A7iii body + Zhiyun Crane 2 Stabilizer). I usually set the focal length to around 17mm or 18mm to compensate for the Sony 4K video crop and Adobe Premiere software stabilization crop while still providing a true virtual wide angle experience. Despite being absolutely blown away by the 24mm F1.4, I am concerned it is simply not wide enough for my style of videos. I definitely welcome your opinion if you know any better alternative. Anyway I would greatly appreciate if you could check out my recent videos and provide HONEST feedback. Subscribe if you enjoy :)

Hi Pierre thanks for all your videos is really cool, I have this 3 lens your are talking about, my felling in night street photography is I love the 85mm f1.4 GM because you catch good composition with amazing boken without afraid the people some country people are afraid to take photo so near than them, and to take wide pic in street during day or sunset I préfère the 16/35 f2.8GM but at night really like the 24 mm the information we got at night is really amazing, For the video I love the 24 mm f1,4 GM is really crazy at night in the city or in astronomy. I will like to mention for new photographer is really good exercise to do street night shoot with 85mm and 24 mm is really different composition you need to move to find the right one and both will take amazing result if you let your creativity going up. See you soon merci continue comme sa on adore.

I think most people who do video choose the 24mm F1.4 as their fav, and those that only do photography choose the 35mm F1.8. I agree either paired with the 85mm is ideal. Although if you have the 35mm, you will need something else for astrophotography (I use 16-35mm F2.8). Great Video! I would love to see you do a video on lens strategies. To me I am always balancing flexibility, portability and image quality (obvious price too), but how I chose to do that definitely had some mistakes in the journey, and definitely has compromises. Anyways interested in what you think.

I use the Zeiss Loxia 21mm f2.8 on my a7r3. It is tack sharp and has very little distortion, but of course it is a manual lens. And whilst it’s great for architecture and 50% of my landscapes, is too wide for most street photography. As I have the 135mm GM f1.8 (fabulous lens), I am considering the 55mm or the 85mm GM.

I use a CHEAP old adapted 24mm 2.8 lens on my a7iii... it cost me $100 rather than $1400. my rationale is I'm generally not as worried about background blur with a wide angle, the whole point is to get perspective / scene in addition to your subject. So I can get away with manual focus and f2.8... mainly because I can "run and gun" with it using zone focus (set to 5.6 and choose a critical focus range of 3 to 15 feet and you can pretty much ignore focus for a lot of things). Also the size of the 24mm 2.8 is MUCH more of a lightweight, small prime lens feel than the f1.4 which is still huge by prime lens on mirrorless camera standards. I will however spend good money on an 85mm 1.8 autofocus to accompany it... The point of that lens is background separation and thin DOF.. meaning autofocus is a MUST and worth spending the extra money. Luckly sony makes a decent one at under $600, so no need to throw your money away on a GM lens (I suspect Pierre got his 24 GM for free, but I could be wrong). Just my 2c !

Did you do it? How you liking it? I just sold my 80d w/sigma 35mm 1.4 and upgraded to a sony a7iii. I gotta decide if I should get the 24mm or 35mm for my only lens to shoot with for a while.

Would you prefer a Sony a7 iii with kit lenses or the Sony a7 ii with this lens? I found a used Sony a7 ii for a great price and I was thinking about getting an a7 iii, but I'm not a professional and I think my money would be better spent getting some amazing lenses before I splurge for a newer camera. Any advice is appreciated. I only have about $2000 to spend for now. For $2000, I could have the Sony A7 ii, the kit 24-70, kit 50mm and this amazing lens Sony 24mm F/1.4. I'm interested in mostly astrophotography, landscapes and taking better pictures of my family when we travel. I figure I can always upgrade the body down the road if I get more serious into photography. I'm upgrading from the Nikon d7000, so quite a big upgrade with whatever I choose.

I own this lens and I find myself using it the least of all, even though 24mm is my favorite focal length. I primarily shoot photos and videos of my family. I purchased it expecting massive improvement over the Tamron 17-28mm, but actually it is holding up well against the 24 GM. For video I find the 24 GM useless. The focus breathing is really bad and my camera keeps hunting for focus. Also AF is much slower than the 35mm which I also own and is an excellent lens. I just think it is a bit too narrow for certain situations. I was hoping the 24mm I have is a bad copy and I returned it to Sony, but they checked and returned it saying that it functions as intended. I couldn’t get a refund as I had already destroyed the packaging as required for cashback. Yes it does give me good photos at times, it is my only lens purchase that I regret. I really don’t understand all the raving comments about how good and versatile it is.

I’m considering this lens or the Tamron 17-28 f2.8 right now. The price of the Tamron is better but everyone seems to love the 24mm GM. I love doing landscape photography but have found myself more and more interested in street. My current setup is a7riii + Tamron 28-75 f2.8.

Thank you for your reviews! I just got my Sony a7iii and can’t decide between the Sony GM 24-70 mm or the 24mm 1.4 or the 85mm 1.4?!? I do mostly portraits, newborn, maternity and family photos and of course the occasional personal travel photos. What would you recommend? Thank you!

This is a great lens: small, large aperture and a very useful focal length! I don't mind the price if this is only lens I am going to use in the years to come. The only reason I may not like is the distortion from a such a wide focal length. How do you feel about the distortion for portraits?

My only problem with this lens is color saturation, my other Sony and sigma lenses gives me more color saturation then this 24mm GM. It's like the colors are compressed a bit. I have to push the colors more in my photo & videos in post when using this lens.

super vidéo. J'ai une question. J'ai un nikon z6 avec un 50mm1.8. Je souhaite acheter un 24mm 1.8 en plus du 50. Mais je commence à me demander si il ne serait plus judicieux de prendre le 24 70 f2.8 au lieu de 2 optiques fixes en 1.8!! Je souhaiterais avoir ton avis si tu as 5mn à me consacrer. merci. A bientôt pour une prochaine vidéo (en français!!). Micka Lambert

If you shoot people more and don't always want to distort them, then you will not use the 24mm more than the 35mm.
