Unbiased Review - Sony 24-50mm F2.8 G

Salvaged audio as much as i could

[@zenstoodi]

Thanks for this review;) I bought this lens to complement my 70-200 2.8 gm2 for situations where switching between 3 primers is not suitable. For now after couple days and hundreds of photos I am very happy. I was thinking about new sigma 24-70 but size / weight won

[@SilatShooter]

As always, great content and appreciate the effort to put this together. I was on the fence on this one, having the 20-70 and wishing it was an f2.8 (more for ego than anything else). But I think I've seen enough to stay with the 20-70. Thanks again!

The GAS always triggering 🤣

Honestly.. the review from the guy with camera I was waiting for.

I am curious how it compares to the 24 F1.4 GM since you mentioned it. The 24 GM is almost like F2.8 when cropped to 48mm~50mm, but you also still have that F1.4 at the wide end. Obviously sharpness would take a hit when digitally zooming but I am curious with an a7cR how much that would be. And for video that may be less of an issue?

[@CharlieVN]

Maybe i can do a brief video on it, will have to work fast, giving this back soon

Дыхание фокуса мне даже понравилось. Это добавляет какой-то можно сказать спецэффект. Типа долли зум. Да. Нафиг эту компенсацию дыхания автофокуса. Не нужна она вовсе. Ай какой вкусный ролик. Слюна побежала и я всё прослушал мимо ушей)))) Пришлось 3 раза пересматривать.

Would you recommend sony 16-25 2.8 G and sony 24-50 2.8 G combo over Sigma art dg dn 14-24mm 2.8 and 24-70mm 2.8 combo?

[@CharlieVN]

factor in price, if you can afford it, factor in what you shoot, any 14-24 with bulb element needs serious consideration for landscape use, for event photogs that simply need the most range........... they would be using sony oem gear..... for a hobbyist, I would stay away from the sigma combo unless cost was involved, it is a much bigger and heavier combo and filters are difficult to work with.

[@stefanusadrian8398]

would you switch from 24mm gm and 50mm f1.4 gm to this lens due to size and weight?

[@CharlieVN]

I am not the type to swith, usually add for a while, then after extensive use, I will remove. The 24GM is old faithful, I do enjoy it even though there are ups and downs, I'm keeping it no matter what. FYI, most these lenses, I already own, but if I absolutely must choose, I would go with the zoom, it would for sure zap the fun out of everything, but I could make them work in practically any scenario.

[@stefanusadrian8398]

@@CharlieVN does it worth to buy second hand 24-70 gm2 instead this lens? In my country it is around 400 usd more. The only thing i like with this lens is the size and weight. I dont like its extend or zoom out in 24mm since i like to use that focal length more.

[@RandumbTech]

Stick with the 20-70 since that focal range is so much more useful. Plus the bokeh on the 24-50 looks "nervous". I gave you a shout out in my most recent vid comparing APS-C vs FF lenses. Check it out!

[@CharlieVN]

will check it out! and you're probably right about the range

[@Pharesm]

I rather have a 24mm prime and a 40mm prime. These zoom clunkers are inconvenient, heavy and aren't bright enough. Silder beats Zoom! Legs beat Zoom

[@zenstoodi]

Good luck with legs when you have wall behind your back or fence in front of you;) it’s just for different purposes. I love primers especially small ones, but they also have some limitations;)
