Here is where the lens itself is important. For Sony the 85 (as one of their first GM lenses) focuses very slowly and is loud for video, where as the 135 is an amazing lens for motorsports (if you're on-track) and other fast movement with the new linear motors, in addition to being amazing for portraits.

I know this is not so realistic, but I would love to see a tier list of all full frame E-mount lenses. Including all available apertures and even 3rd party lenses like Sigma, Tamron and Samyang. That just sounds really cool and it's also impossible for a person to try all of them.

I fell in love with the 85mm, it was my first prime lens and I use it for street photography as well! I also use my 24-70mm a lot, especially for concert photography. At a show you can't move as much and you have to be quick so you don't always have time to switch lens if you want to. And I think that in this situation the 24-70mm really shines. Next lens I want to try is the 35mm, I've had my eye on it for a while and it is time to try it finally

Totally agree with your opinion about 24-70. It’s versatile but I never got a good vibe with the images over multiple cameras and lenses I used. For a versatile travel zoom I’d rather prefer 24-105 for the extra reach even though it’s F4 and as with the 24-70, I don’t really prefer it over primes.

To me a 50mm is the most versatile focal length for general photography. I feel that the 35mm and 85mm both are either to narrow or too wide. I have to add though, that the locations I have available to shoot at are usually not very pretty all over, so I find that the 35mm pulls in too much ugliness. If I were in a beautiful city somewhere, sure I would love the 35mm to pull in much more of the scenery but at this point, the 50 pulls in and excludes just enough. Also, I love the 50's very low perspective distortion, it just looks so honest and natural as if I were there where the photo was taken

I love this tier breakdown; I've never seen a lans comparison visually represented this way, and it's absolutely helpful. I've heard of the different use-cases for such lens or focal lengths, but seeing your thought process this way was great. My daily, on-me-at-all-times is a 35mm and 85mm. I've found that these 2 focal lengths are so versatile while at the same challenging me quite a bit. I do have a 24-70mm, which is my all-purpose, no-frills lens that I use if I can only have 1 lens to do everything, or on the road somewhere and I want to minimize my carry. I've also found that treating my zoom as "a prime" can help with practice and challenge; so in essence, locking it at a single focal length, and move around.

You can argue though that for Sony GM the 24-70mm right now is one of the weaker lenses in the line up and needs a rehash (just as the 85mm F1.4). A tier would be: 24mm, 50mm, 105mm OR 135mm (just because I wouldn't use both, but each of them has advantages) 16-35mm (though I do not own one myself), 100-400mm OR 200-600mm and depending on use case probably prime tele lenses >200mm as well as prime wide lenses

I use the 85mm 1.8 (80% of the time when I do photography) I own a 16-35mm however my clients gravitate towards the photos from the 85mm. So I keep the 16-35 for video. I recently got the 20mm 1.8 from sony. Extremely happy with it. It gives me the soft background that my F4 16-35mm couldn't give me, and I use it for both photo and 90% of my video work. In terms of telephoto, unless I am shooting concerts or shows, I never use them. (I have a cheap telephoto kit lens from sony which is sharp enough for my needs) however, when lockdown is completely lifted and I see enough event jobs, I'll look for a 70-300mm as you advised!

I own it, and because of the focal length I seldom require it at the moment, but when I do, I just love it.

ah that's great! super recommended. nope! the Sony cameras i use have such amazing autofocus that's so quick i don't find the need to use it; not that i didn't give it a go though!

I used to have the 24-105 canon, while it was an awesome lens (especially the rf version) I found myself just cranking it wide or zooming in all the way everything else was just kinda there felt a little lazy

Hi @patkay - came across your page today, loving your videos, very helpful! I earlier watched your video 'The Best Beginner Camera 2023' and took a lot from it - thanks for posting. Out of the 16-35mm and 35mm lenses you ranked as top, what would you recommend for a beginner? I mostly will use it for nature/music festivals, up close band/DJ gig shots and portrait type photos, so torn between the two you referred - either Sony SEL35F14GM or Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Hey pat! Another great video! I was looking for an excuse to buy another lens (not that we really need one right?😂) Also, i noticed you have ads now! Wow that was quick! Congrats man!

For me the perfect Setup is 35mm, 85mm and 70-200mm. If I ever need something wider than 35mm I can use my Phones ultrawide, as a shallow depth of field isnt that important anymore.

What you mention here is for full frame right? So i assume when you mean 35mm is good it is not like the 35mm on an APS-C camera, as it would be almost a 50mm for that.

Say man, what lens should i buy first if i want to do portrait photography, landscape as well and incorporate some video work as well. I own a 35 sigma dg hsm(the first sigma 35mm model) and a zeiss 55mm. Both on a Sony a7iv. Ive been interested in a sony 20mm 1.8, 24 gm 1.4, 35gm 1.4 to replace my current 35, Sigma 85mm 1.4, 24-70 dg dn. Stuck between all these on choosing which one to buy first. What would you recommend?

I shoot architecture, and I’m struggling to imagine where using a 10mm lens would be suitable...assuming you’re talking about full frame

Oh man, I sometimes feel like I'm the only person who isn't a fan of the 50mm. It's fine. For whatever reason, I find it neither here or there. 24, 35, and 85 are my personal A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi
