Which Sony 24-70mm lens should you buy for Full-Frame? Buying Guide 2018

[@brotherted]

My two cents: For your next lens comparison video, don’t tell us, show us (images). Good luck.

[@DennisLimCY]

very good two cents my friend, but you are at the wrong youtube channel if you want more show. this is a tell youtube channel, that is why while i watch it on and off, i cannot bring myself to subscribe. talking head videos are meant to be this way. since there is nothing to show, i usually use such videos to help me dose off. lovely voice.

[@Moghster]

disagree because a picture has a lot to do with 100 other factors that you would not account for, like time of the day, lighting, model, location, so you can have a shit picture taken in the g master and a better picture taken in the kit lens if you aren't perfect. So it'll only confuse you. But here you get the details in technology which shows you it's capacity.

[@fantomfoto]

Some good info here although I must say that with todays bodies an f/4 aperture really isn't that big of a setback anymore. 5-10 years ago losing a stop of light would have been a huge deal but now it's very easy to make that up with IBIS (slower shutter speed) or higher ISO that still produces incredible images. Bokeh would certainly be better at f/2.8 but if someone wants great bokeh they should be looking into primes.

[@FrenchieFries]

i just got the 24-70mm gmaster and i took a few test shots. The corners seem to be a bit weak at 24 and 70 but at 35mm it was sharp. The center is sharp though. So was that blur on your shots the center? Or at the corners?

[@Madmohawkfilms]

I bought an old Tamron from the 90’s in Minolta Maxxum Mount aka Sony A Mount, pop on my Sony LA-EA4 adaptor and it’s PARTY TIME $150 including 7 Tiffen Filters . Most of my A7 lenses are old Minolta lenses. The 70-210mm F4 Beercan is another steal!!! Minolta 90mm Prime. 50mm F1.8 like $40 Also a HUGE fan of Sigma’s Art lenses in E Mount.

[@edgejourney]

This was really helpful! I just purchases the a7 III and I’ve been researching the various zoom lenses quite a bit. The explanations and comparisons made here really helped me. Moving away from my original choice of FE 24-70mm Zeiss and getting the FE 24-105mm G.

[@OptimaMrL]

Sony owns a 12% share within Tamron. This probably explains why the 28-75 works like a native lens, with the ability to update the lens firmware via the camera body. Additionally, it gives me confidence that Tamron will address any issues that can be fixed via firmware updates- like they’ve done so far. I can’t wait for a 16-35 and 70-200 FE mount from Tamron - they’ve applied for the patents already!

[@ursa81]

That's an absolute no-brainer. You get the Tamron 28-75mm F2.8. Sharp and fast autofocus as the G-master for the price of the 24-70 F4.0

[@arminbreuer7968]

I have the 24-105, and I love it quite a bit.

[@maverickrodriguez7213]

Would love to see a similar idea for the apsc format. I love shooting nature and apsc gives me that extra range without breaking the bank of specialized lenses

[@KenanConvey]

I shoot w the 24-70 GM on my a7Sii and it’s a work horse! I’ve shot several concerts, filmed several interviews both using it as 30mm for A-cam and 70mm for B-cam, as well as a lot of event b-roll (paired on zhiyun crane v2 it maxes out the cranes weight). Save up enough to buy the GM you won’t need another lens for a while

[@livinit20]

Kenan Convey I’ve been looking up this lens the last couple days... I have been starting to do some weddings and was tired of switching lenses back and forth.. Would you recommend this lens...

[@KenanConvey]

Dvchavero I would! I’ve only shot one wedding on it but I use it for live events all the time. That medium 24-70 focal length is perfect for run and gun shooting where you don’t have time to swap lenses. And it’s just as sharp as my 28mm f/1.8.

[@livinit20]

Kenan Convey Awesome. And thank you for the quick feed back!!

[@Mrgunsngear]

great info

[@DejanMaleticDexter]

Put the variable aperture lens at f5.6 and you get fixed exposure through the whole range.

[@dangernba]

Very nice video, man. It's easy to move from the kit lens to the Tamron, however once you've experienced 24 mm at the wide end, it becomes very difficult to move to 28 mm. Greetings from Brazil.

[@obayedh]

Ah! At last!! I was eagerly waiting just for this video mate - thanks much :)

[@rickyfrost8860]

I live by my copy of zeiss 55 1.8!

[@shawndean100]

If you need beautiful bokeh and like purple fringing, get Zeiss 50mm f 1.4 instead of 55mm. Otherwise DXOMARK score matters😃

[@BookerLeslie]

glad i found your channel, I am using the Kit Lens for now and prolly for a while, but I love the reviews for my planning on next items.

[@IMDABROWN]

OMG I didn't get an alert for this posting! This was a great buying guide to help me to understand what I "need" vs what "I want". Thanks buddy, keeping my 24-105 and maybe add on the 12-24 f4 or get a 16-35 in f4 or f2.8.

[@hongzewu5435]

i have read many reviews and most of them state that 24-105 f4 is an excellent lenses except its price.

[@IMDABROWN]

Hongze Wu I have used my 24-105 to shoot basketball and it nails it with the autofocus. Tracks really well, the only issues are when there’s a fast break and I plan ahead and it has to find what to put in focus. This is shooting 4K 30fps f8 and focus is set to wide.

[@framefilmstudio]

thanks, what do you mean by "fast break and I plan ahead"" :D

[@IMDABROWN]

Fast break is the term for basketball when the player with the ball is ahead of everyone at a fast pace. Think of a runner in a sprint and trying to track them.

[@Yartin]

I have the 16-35 F4. Wish I could have gotten the 2.8 but it was about double the price.

[@crisjansonpiers]

Fantastic review, clear precise and the best thing is it has made me sit back and reconsider a purchase I was going to make today! (That being the Sony 24-105mm 3.5-5.6 OSS ) I will perform a few more tests with what I have before I rush out and buy. I have the 24-70mm Sony kit lens for my Sony A7iii and a Nikon 14-24mm f2.8, the Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 and a adapter which allows most of the modes including Autofocus and the main features. The two Nikon lenses do struggle in low light with the adapter to focus, in that they sometimes search and I miss valuable images but other than that they are quick and VERY sharp. Thanks again!!!! ;-)

[@derekirons2615]

[@JessDemant]

[@sunj_av]

Great video, thanks for the info. Came in time for my A73 purchase and helped me make up my mind on the lens.

[@itsjohnzamora]

I've been ripping my hair out trying to figure out which one of these I should get. Thank you for the review!! With the new 24-70mm GM2 coming out, I may pull the trigger on a nice discount for the original version. Thanks again!

[@billbeto5207]

You stated at 14:29, that Tamron 28-75 has built in stabilization? I believe this is an incorrect statement.

[@oliverh8446]

Listen again; he says it doesn't have built-in stabilisation.

[@fayainz]

Nice comparison! Can you do the same for wide angle lenses? 16-35mm range would be amazing!

[@nyax4361]

I'm using the kit lens as a f5.6 constant. yeah it's much slower than f4 or 2.8, and f5.6 have deeper depth of field. but the thing is I don't like the more and more common bokeh/blurry background as there are more and more full frame sensors with f2.8 lenses. I came from micro four thirds world, Panasonic GH series, which unfortunately only got a f2.8 zoom to be the shallowest depth of field option. f5.6 isn't that bad, a bit of blurry background when closer and zoomed in, and almost no blurry background using the wildest end is actually pretty good. I would say it's very close to human eyes, with absolutely dramatic effects

[@nyax4361]

btw I'm using A7S II, which doesn't care that much of a stop slower. and as it only got 12MP to begin with, corner sharpness and many many down side from that kit lens became less of an issue.

[@charmerci]

I agree! For the super budget conscious, the kit Sony 24-70mm is a wonderful lens. I did get the Sony Zeiss 24-70 f4 and though it was a bit better, it wasn't worth the extra cost. I then went through a number of prime Rokinons until I got the Sony 24-105mm. I love it! Better color rendition and so much sharper than the other lenses I had bought.

[@devilmaycry383]

I got the kit lens and the 24-105mm which i am impressed with it's sharpness and overall quality. My next lens will either be the 90mm Macro or the 85mm 1.8. The 24-70 GM is out of my reach for now as I have other priorities for now. Great guide 👍

[@HolyWater101]

StormRider2 you will love the 90mm macro. It is razor sharp. People rave about the 55 being sharp the 90 put resolves it. I have shit probably 10k portrait pictures with it! Also actual micro work it works great too!

[@Lastknight0]

The 85 1.8 is my favorite lens currently. Can't go wrong with it!

[@MeAMuse]

I can second the 90mm Macro as his next lens. It will depend on what he shoots, but it's amazing for macro, and produces super sharp portraits. The choice will be based on whether you value flexibility and sharpness over bokeh and low light performance.

[@insomniacs0]

How do you find 24-105? It's f/4 isn't it? I've been considering giving it a shot as it's much more affordable than 24-70 f/2.8 which is twice as much.... How sharp is it? Do you think you can get away without extra f-stop?

[@MeAMuse]

Kamil Glabik only you can decide whether you can get away without the extra stop. It all depends on what you shoot. As far as I have heard it’s a pretty sharp lens. Not used it personally tho.

[@normski4ash]

Good vlog apart from one thing ! You harped on "Get the kit lens", "Get the kit lens" ! Then later said "Don't get the Tamron it's 28mm and doesn't go as wide as the 24mm" ! Correct me if I'm wrong, but the kit lens is 28mm ! So why bang on about getting a 28mm kit lens, then dis the Tamron because it's 28mm ! The IQ of the kit lens is pants compared to the Tamron ! Farr better suggestion would of been buy a Body only, then get the best lens you can for your budget. I gave it a thumbs up because apart from that it was very informative, Thnx

[@enochcastleberry5197]

[@trevorwarner6196]

I bought the 24-70 f4 several years ago, it is lightweight and the images I get are very nice 2:12

[@michaelianmanlangit6920]

Excellent and detailed review 👊🏻

[@AllenFreemanMediaGuru]

24-70 f/2.8 G Master is my go-to workhorse. Have never been disappointed with images with it. Next is the 85 f/1.4 G Master. Creamy backgrounds! For super sharpness go with Sony 28 f/2 and 55 f/1.8. The 28 also has two awesome adapters making it a 21 f/2.8 or 16 f/3.5 fisheye! My travel lens is the 24-240 f/3.5-6.3. Never ceases to impress me. The 35 f/2.8 is best for street photography. It's the lightest, smallest lens of the bunch. Last but not least the 90 macro f/2.8 is great for extreme close-ups and good for portraits! All of these lenses are very sharp in my experience. (I have been shooting Sony A7Rii and A7RIII for 3 years, switching from Nikon full frame after 10 years-D4, Df, D700 and best Nikon glass).

[@AllenFreemanMediaGuru]

For extreme zooming I tried the 70-200 but its large and bulky. Right now I’m using the Sony RX10IV (24-600mm) with excellent results). Shoots great video also.

[@fideoioioi]

You should update this video including the Sigma 24-70 2.8

[@BRCPres1]

Thanks for the great overview!!

[@HenryDelRosario]

This was so helpful! Interesting that Tony and Chelsea Northrup also use the A7III with a MC-11 and the canon 24-70! I have the canon 24-70 mark 1 and I am stuck trying to decide to let go of it or use it on the sony A7III. I might just get an MC-11 now! I'm worried about the auto focus a little but glad you guys found it useful!

[@ccbphoto]

Thanks for the informative video!

[@bautistap8515]

Tamron 28-75 f2for video as my first and only lens for A7iii, good choice? Or should I go with Sony 24-70 f4, which has OSS, and 24mm, but sacrifice the f2.8.?

[@TAGxT]

Rented the G Master 24-70 2.8 to shoot EDC Las Vegas on an A7II. Absolutely a beast of a lens, but man lugging that around for 10 hours a night for 3 nights was a lot to handle. Im considering the Tamron for price and size. I absoultely loved shooting with the G Master lens but the price point is a little high for me.

[@artmaltman]

Well done! Do you know whether optical steady shot works with non-Sony lenses? I have the impression that you have to manually set the focal length to use OSS with a non-Sony prime, and so zooms might be unworkable. But perhaps the newer adapters communicate the focal length?

[@njrtech]

Interesting. I liked the 24-70GM...but once I got the 16-35gm I stopped using it as often. I ended up selling the 2470gm and grabbing the 24-105 as my general purpose shoot anything lense and im very impressed by it. The 2470gm is indeed a great lense...but I think it's for different purposes like weddings vs. what I do (mainly nature,landscapes, cars). In the end both are fantastic lenses

[@nelsonkskim]

[@nelsonkskim]

i realized that i dont use anything more than 85mm focal length. So i'm ok w/ either 24-105 or 24-70. I'm scared to use 16-35 because it's so wide. I'm leaning toward 24-70... What do you think?

i have the 28-70 kit lens and it is only o.k., it do not fit really to a high end camera like the Sony A7 range IMO, but for family or casual shooting it is......... o.k. if money is a concern i would better go for a prime lens as a starting point, even a vintage manual lens like a minolta MC 58mm 1.4 will make you more happy, then the 28-70 kit lens IMO and.... yes...... thanks for this great video

[@dangernba]

The problem is many people spend all their money on a top notch camera (like A7III) leaving no money for good lenses. Three or five years later they upgrade their obsolete camera, keeping their bad lenses. Image quality is a combination of brain, sensor and lens. The sensor alone is unable to produce good results.

[@RiccardoGabarriniKazeatari]

But what about a comparison between the sony 24-105 and the tamron 28-75? You've compared the tamron to the GM, that means it's way better than the 24-105 even if almost half the price? Please respond, I can't decide what should I get! Thx!

[@cemtokgoz]

When ı bought A7 ii,i didn't like image quality since beginning,after than a friend of mine brought 50 MM F1.8 from usa and i noticed significant image quality.This kit lens is horrible which you shouldn't waste your money buying as a kit.Go for Body and buy any of lenses depending on your preference (Portrait,street,travel vs vs). I sold my kit lens already and now decided to buy Tamron which is great price / performance lens for users who are not professional like me.

[@richardpcrowe]

I am extremely happy with the 28-75mm f/2.8 Tamron on my A7iii camera. I shoot with an A6400 in tandem and will use a 12mm f/2 Rokinon lens (188 equivalent focal length) when I need wider coverage...

[@davidwamback9000]

Currently own and use my older 24-70 2.8 Canon L with metabones adapter on a7R3 with great results across all focal lengths. The GMaster might give me better AF, but hardly worth the investment for me. Considering the Sony Zeiss 50 1.5 and 85 1.8 for additional spread and IQ. Probably a better investment for me. Thoughts?

Thank you, but more pictures to compare so we can evaluate the pro's and con's. Is it really worth dropping the money on a walk around lens you are going to bin all results anyway? I bought my first zoom in the 1980's and first roll was absolutely horrible, soft, low contrast, all the rolls was just to bin and I quickly went all primes. I know the zooms, but not ALL zooms, are better today, but I can adapt some really good ol' glass with the LA-EA4 and save my buck if this lens is a bomb.

[@JustMeChris]

Switched from Canon (5DMKIII) to Sony (A7III) and have used an adapted (MC11) 24-70 f2.8L II lens and my experience has been mixed. Focussing does work and images are beautifully rendered and sharp when focus is nailed. However, when focus hunts, it doesn't just hunt, it goes on a little safari and for no good reason as light and contrast within the focus area is more than adequate. In addition, not all focussing modes are available when adapted on the MC11. Lastly, the the weight...oh boy, Although the A7III is a little lighter than the Canon, the weight distribution with this lens adapted makes this combo perceptually heavier than when mounted on my 5D.

Have the 24-105 Sony and at f8 and f11 when I shoot outdoors I've been getting a lot of vignetting (and not a big fan of it). Wondering if this is normal? Thinking of trading it in for a 24-70mm. Hear good things about the Sigma art lense. And curious to hear anyone's thoughts on this -- have the Zeiss 16-35 and the Sony 85mm (which I LOVE). Thanks so much.

[@Deminimis2]

If I started over again I would probably get the 24-105mm for my first lens. I didn’t have too many options when I chose to go with Sony but I think that the zoom lens would be a good place to start. I would get the body and the zoom lens and just shoot and keep track of my exif data. Especially the focal lengths. After a while the data would give me a pretty good idea of what focal lengths I had been using the most. This would aid me later in deciding what lens to get and add to my kit.

[@denyxrunner]

littlerayblue That's true but I would instead use the kit lens and buy some prime soon after. The 24-105 is completely no sense price for a f4. It should be a 600/700

[@jalexanderevans]

You should do some trending analysis to see what focal lengths you might be headed toward as well.

[@dangarcia5198]

I just returned the 24-105 as it struggled to focus during two important photoshoots. I love the focal range, but unreliable focus is unacceptable.

[@denyxrunner]

yeah but also paying 1.3k for a f4 is unacceptable... I would so like to switch to sony but the lens price are just no sense and stop me doing that swith... pretty sad because sony body are the best and the most affordable

[@ietekoeke]

I bought the 24 - 105 f4 and although the lens is very expensive, the performance is truly superb, but your right, 800 / 900 would have been more acceptable

[@friartuckfriartuck]

dude you rock!!!

[@BlizzardTerrak]

Will you also be making / linking to videos about Sony Pro support? I'm coming in from Nikon (D750 specifically) and looking into Sony due to.... Well you know. (currently on a6300 but drooling at a7iii)

[@RayBrennanrookwoodproductions]

thats what camera ive just bought, but here the kit lens is ok, but looking for a better all rounder lens. not costing in the £1000

[@Pharesm]

Just a note: this is shot for beginners full of step one explanations and foregoes any real lens comparisons...

[@kaera1291]

According to Sony lens compatibility site the Sony 24-70mm f/4 Zeiss needs to be put on [Lens Comp.: Distortion] "Auto". Any idea what this means?

[@FKfilmphotography]

Jesus sharpness sharpness sharpness that's all I hear. All these lenses are MORE THAN SHARP ENOUGH for everyone taking pictures and viewing them on their phones!

[@dukedarlington629]

which does what people do these days

[@andreanis100]

Is the 24-70mm f/4 a good deal for 500$?

[@paduchiu]

Excellent review comparison; I wish someone reviews Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 lens with Sigma MC11 on a Sony A7III..

[@k8wxq0]

I assume you use Capture One? How about a tutorial?

[@dangernba]

I found the available tutorial on You Tube very confusing and superficial. The workflow is very complicated, I would love to see a tutorial explaining the workflow step by step. Greetings from Brazil.

[@alfredtolentino8614]

Really enjoyed your video. I’m really considering the 24-70mm f4 due to the size, weight and price( able to get one new for $599) but the review have not been so favorable. I do shoot with primes: 28m f2 & 55m f1.8. Considering a light zoom for traveling and also have a baby 👶. Zoom is convenient. With all that said (especially the $599 New) is it still worth considering? Or even favoring in all that the 24-105 is till your #1 pick?

[@ryantyler2122]

Did you get the zeiss 24-70? I have the 24-104 G but im resenting its size and weight more and more, my whole purpose of going over to e mount was to go compact. How does it perform?

[@MannyScoot]

The lens Main Board Processor fails often on the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM ......... Specially if used on Video ..... $120 plus labor $250 The Commlite auto focus adapter EF-Nex works super fast with most Canon L and EF glass .......

[@swifted]

I own a Sony a6600 with a 16-55 f2.8, will it be redundant to get the 24-70GM for an a7iii?

[@LangstonBall]

Yeah seriously the 105 is sold out everywhere. Too bad im not a pro... would love the GM

[@fabricebouvart3374]

I own the CZ 24-70/4, I am quitte happy with it Maybe a good luck with my copy

[@cliflowry9433]

I've had the Tamron 28-75 for almost 2 weeks now. Took it with me to a 2 day photo workshop last week and have not had the reported focus issue yet. However, I'm not using it for video. So if the issue is only in video, it wouldn't have been a problem.

[@DavisInDuval]

The canon glass SUCKS for video on the A7 III. For photos it's fine.

[@alrestauro]

Thank you for that in depth review on all the lenses! I am so "WOWED" by the amount of information.

[@indygranitethiracharthamro958]

Any idea about the sigma 24-70 f2.8 DG DN art on a7iii ???

[@EFFTEEZEE]

Just buy Sigma 24-70 F2.8 DG DN.. From 2021
