The Best Lens for Video A7IV- the 24mm GM F1.4

Today I talk about my favourite lens for the studio and for vloggin on the Sony A7iv - the Sony 24mm GM F1.4. This G-Master lives up to its name and is a joy to use. Affiliate links below to make me rich.

Dude, I love your content, the dry humor about apple juice, kids, parties etc, never minding that lens as a Lumix s5 user. You are the most hilarious reviewer!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Haha - thanks!! Love Panasonic - The S5 is one of the best cameras on the market. I still use my GH5 every week.

[@mustang2005]

Should I get this lens if I already have the 20mm 1.8 for my A7Cii? My issue is when I use the 20mm for photo its too wide and distorted with not much background separation. And my 35mm sometimes feels not wide enough. I feel like i need something more in-between and feel like I'm missing out by not having the 24mm. That or I have GAS 😂

[@kevinkrause5798]

Hey Mark! Do you get even more crop-in factor if you use both Focus breathing compensation and Active steady shot at the same time? What I mean is, do you get a tighter shot using both than you do if you only use breathing comp by itself? Thanks!

[@djoaniel]

hey Mark, I subscribed - because of the family content! love your vids!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Thanks!!

[@draxxicek]

Toneeh! By the way, camera oriented youtubers are currently Canada’s greatest export article

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I know, right?? I guess it's all the cold weather up here that keeps up in doors tinkering with cameras

[@draxxicek]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis also ideal conditions for Sony and Canon users - unlike MarkusPix, who gets average 30 seconds of recording out of them before they melt

[@shahedhasnat]

Please mention about the ND filter you were using. The footage looks great.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

inexpensive 67mm filter from K&F 👍 geni.us/BMh0

[@Donbros]

Probably you would like 20mm g even more from what I see you will use it. I just ordered to have one prime and it will be 20mm 1.8. I use 16-35 gm as my main for mid low light situation

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I’m sure I would like it. But really love the look of the 24. I’m sure I’ll end up with both 🤣

[@Donbros]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis hahaha 24mm is nice option too just that I have 16-35 gm and it fullfills my bokeh needs (when its af 35mm 2.8) and I wanted something lighter and more close focusing (as 20mm g is one of the closest focusing lenses). Probably it will have exact same bokeh at 20mm 1.8 as 16-35 at 35mm If my bokeh needs will even extend more I am looking to max it out with 85mm f1.2 gm (if rumours doesn't lie) which is almost out. That 50mm gm looks cool but having 50mm lens is like betraying 35mm focal length

[@cyrilimportante]

I really like your channel and the humor! I'm planning to get the Sony a7IV soon. Is it okay that the 24mm 1.4 will be my first lens and primary lens? or should I go to tamron 28-75?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The 24 is my favourite lens and my number one lens for video - but the tamron is my most useful lens for photography or if I need a big range

[@pianopotato]

I just got this lens and looking forward to using it on my A74 and also as a sort of 50mm lens with my Douggie (using the 1.44x active crop mode)! 🙂

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I use this lens literally everyday

[@SuperJoePardo]

It's all about Camera Conspiracies.

[@HafizDenali]

Nice review sir, you really convince me to buy this lens....is it worth it in 2023? If so, i would like to get this one

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

This is my favourite lens - I use it everyday. Sony is putting on sale $100 off on Nov 21. Might be a great time to buy

[@jeffhalebopp]

Don't forget about the clear image zoom for even more zooming reach if needed..

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Absolutely - I’m going to include that on my fav things about the A7iv vid 👍

[@jeffhalebopp]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I'm not sure if focus breathing comp works with clear image zoom? I guess we will find out.

[@kumoitojp]

Looks great!

[@rafaelharanaka6458]

Nice video! What about a comparison with the Samyang 24mm 1.8? Thats a good one 👍

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Trying to get Samyang in - having trouble getting a hold of a rep

[@fx77me]

Thanks Mark. Your videos are Awesome!🤘👍

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I appreciate that!

[@IntrovertAmateur]

Great video and thanks for sharing your experience. Loved the part when your son jumped up and down, trying to get this beautiful lens 😁 Since you have the GM 24 1.4 also on the ZV E10, does it breath a lot on it, since it does not have breathing compensation?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

It’s not noticeable in the situations I use it. but if you set it at 1.4, and you move around a bit, you will see some.

[@IntrovertAmateur]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Great, thx a lot for your time to reply!

[@lamadalton]

Fun video! Good practical review...well done.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Thanks!!

[@ayhancapan]

This focus performance is unbelievable... In Turkish tv serials, sometimes focus puller miss the focus... In This combination, autofocus is way better than many focus puller's performance i think :)) But in some situations of course...

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yes - I was never an autofocus guy, but when I got this and the ZV-E10, it just does a better job then me 95% of the time 🤣

[@ayhancapan]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis :))))))))))))))))

[@bryanbuff]

If you have FB compensation enabled, does it disengage in APS-C mode because of the inherent crop? Or does it crop in a bit more still?

[@ZamoraChristian]

This is super usefull, I am in a dilema to get the 20 or the 24, I dont vlog but I do shoot a lot in 50fps. So 32mm vs 40mm equivalent ? 🤔

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I would probably go for the 20 if you shoot a lot in 50. I just did a review on that one a few days ago.kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIa7loaJgMmKqtE

[@ZamoraChristian]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis yes I saw it it was so good

[@markshirley01]

Mark - can I ask a question about catalyst browse. Camera Conspiracies says it degrades the footage so 4K looks worse than 1080p, do you find that's the case.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I do not find that at all. I saw that episode - he may have not had the right settings or maybe just cropped too far. I crop at 10 percent and use optimal settings and I don’t see any degradation.

[@capics6779]

"When i want people to desire me physically" 😂😂 yeah Tom Brady 😂 thank you for making my day better!!!! 🤗

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Haha!!

[@rishabhpurohit8333]

Super stuff- can you suggest best n adorable wide angle lense for zv e10

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The cheapest solution is a wide angle accessory by ulanzi: amzn.to/3GpoIDY in terms of actual lenses, an affordable wide angle is the Samyang 12mm amzn.to/3GjZDtX

[@rishabhpurohit8333]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks bro for your recommendation, you ll make it big... I wish you tons of good times

[@KPGuitarStudios]

Non-fan of the channel here, man, based on the last video, I've really been thinking about the idea of a very high end APS-C, that would just make a lot of sense. Interestingly, Kasey has been suggesting the same thing. Perhaps you and I are just clairvoyant? Off to California next week! New videos coming to ideally both channels. Really looking forward to some travel and being around 100,000 people at a trade show :P

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

🤣🤣

[@ItsWhatIDo]

And back to the lens. For me I found that the outside shots had too much Bokeh. Why did we change from saying a shallow depth of field to Bokeh or Toneh? I don't mind a bit of blur but that was a bit much.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Oh yeah - it was - like I said - it was too much - that why I stopped down to f2. But it is useful in lowlight and specific circumstances. You can blame Kasey from Camera Conspiracies for Toneh 😂

[@SGOVisions]

You’re dope my guy

[@Ed-davies]

I love my 24mm GM, it’s an awesome lens! Volume Toneh 🤣

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

So much Toneh

[@ItsWhatIDo]

You know the $90 isn't for the sushi at bachelorette party's..... it's for the plate they use... I'll let you think about that one lol

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

🤣

[@neilwheel]

Would it eliminate jellywobbles if used with an A7C?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Then lens itself doesn’t have wobbly corners, but the overall jello effect is the result of the readout speed of the sensor in the A7C, so that rolling shutter will remain regardless of the lens. However, Catalyst browse eliminates most of the rolling shutter

[@MonsieurOlive]

Watching this video Just waiting for my sushis

[@zenphotocraftmedia8326]

Hey could kinda make a review for this lens SZ 33mm F1.2 E

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I’ll see if I can get one in

[@AlexPadronS]

Can i use this lens with the zve10?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

For sure - I do it all the time - but it will have the appearance of a 36mm lens

[@TheDIYFilmmaker]

I am thinking about buying this lens. We should meet to drink some beers ;)

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

It’s so great

[@adhardino9781]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis what about the beer?

[@CinePals]

I own both the 24mm g master and the 20mm g. I think I grab the 24mm more often, but I'm also not run and gun vlogging that often. Maybe I grab the 24mm more often because I know it's the more expensive, higher quality one and it's a subconscious thing. They're both fantastic lenses. But at times, even the 20mm can be too tight for hand held vlogging. There is an 18mm by Samyang, no where near the quality of the Sony 20mm, but man is it light. I tested it out here on my tertiary channel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJOWgqeFfLWMgKs

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I’ll check out - thanks!!

[@workingwiththelight3119]

In vlogging, for me too much toneh! I like to see the environment especially if the vlogger is not very interesting or beautiful! Not that is the case of you of course 😉

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Definitely- it’s great for lowlight, but way too much for blur for vlogging. I stop down to F2 usually
