You're welcome! Yeah it certainly is something that should be mentioned in the manual somwehere. For me it's now a habit of plugging it into the charger the day before the shoot, even when I'm sure 70% will last me as long as I need to shoot. Just to avoid getting it into sleep mode the day of shooting.

Thank you! From a carrying perspective, it doesn't make a big difference in my opinion. It packs better for carry-on luggage, but that's it. If you have the budget, I'd go for the new one. It just offers the better package. However, the first version is still a very good lens though. If you're only worried about the size, and don't need any of the new features, go ahead and buy the first version, you won't regret it. For most usecases, the first version is still completely viable. I also still use it, since I only had the second one for testing, and didn't see a need for a switch.

@@torbenmayer The universe was looking out for me , I got blessed with a 2.8 G master version ii . I’m gonna try it out with a friend and decide if it’s worth the extra weight of carrying or go with the version ii f4

@MoonbearDiedHere love to hear it! Let me know what you go for, interested in hearing that! I didn’t have the chance to test the 2.8 versions unfortunately. If you’d like to help me out so I can check out new lenses in the future, consider subscribing, thank you :)

Your welcome! Unfortunately no. The USB Port is only for charging mobile devices like your phone, tablet or GoPro. You can charge the battery itself only with the P-Tap (D-Tap) ports and charger.

@@torbenmayerhow long does it take to charge?

@@aidanwilliams1607 Roughly around 2 1/2 - 3 hours, I never checked the exact time though. When I charge it fully next time I will take the exact time and post it here.

Thank you! I wouldn't worry to much about rain to be fair. I've used my 24-70 GM 2, which also has the extending zoom, in quite a bit of rain last year and it was totally fine. Just dried it up no problem. But I get your point, it's just one possible point of entry more. I think the way to go if you don't need the macro function will be the upcoming sigma. If I had to guess it will cost at most as much as the 70-200 G 2 and therefore will be the way better option due to it being a 2.8 lens for the same price - or probably less.

Thank you for your feedback! You're welcome!

Yeah that's correct. It was shot under quite difficult conditions, so having no lens flare from the beginning is hard for any lens. But I think considering I didn't reduce it at all in post (since I do like a little flare), it's not too bad after all.

Thank you so much, much love from Germany! :)

You're welcome!

You're welcome and thanks for the feedback! I actually don't know unfortunately. I would think that it only would work as a pass through while using it, but not charging. Since all three ports on the Titon Base can be used for charging as well as powering devices, I would think that both batteries than would just start looping (or more likely do nothing), since they won't know which one is charging and which one is being charged. I think it would only work if it had a clear input/charge only connector. However, I'm about to reach out to Anton Bauer in the next days for something different anyways, and I will ask them about it while I'm at it. I'll get back to you asap!

Thats kind of you Torben @@torbenmayer Right now i've put my AB's on charge so hopefully all will be harmony once they have charged up. Thanks again. Always good to know that i don't have to buy even more batteries. 👍

Thanks so much for your feedback! I know the struggle, it's basically why I choose to get this lens, to avoid changing it all the time. It depends. I haven't had the chance to use any of those two, but here are my thoughts from just the specs and experiences I had over the last year: For the 20-70: I feel the 24mm is wide enough for most pictures in cities. In New York and London I rarely used my 14mm because the 24mm was wide enough; thinking about it I probably only used the 14mm for skyline timelapse shots. And I think the better aperture makes it more versatile, especially in low light conditions, which can appear real fast in cites, even at day. I'd personally favor this over a slightly wider angle. So I think the G-Master is the better choice in 95% of the time. For the Tamron: What's a little bit annoying is that the G-Master only goes to 70mm. I took a few pics with my 85mm prime and these were amazing in New York and among my favorites from the whole trip. The Tamron seems like a very solid choice, since you get a halfway decent angle for wider shots, but can go a lot deeper with the 150mm. And it also has a nice aperture. I'd love to have a bigger zoom, but at the same time I would carry an additional wide angle lens with me as well, since 35mm isn't going to cut it for me. It's hard to say. I think it's a question of what focal lengths you mostly use in street and urban. If you rarely ever use something over 85mm, I'd go with the G-Master and just crop it from 70mm if needed and call it a day. If it's the opposite and you mostly shoot with 85/105/135 etc. the Tamron would be the obvious choice, however, you would need a second lens if you ever need a wide angle. I guess the conclusion would be: If you're currently primarily shooting with primes 105mm or higher get the Tamron. In any other case I'd get the G-Master. You can alway upscale in Lightroom and crop in just a little bit further if absolutely needed. With the Tamron you can never crop out to get a wider angle. I think the G-Master is the safer bet. And from my personal experience: I've never felt like I made a mistake taking just the 24-70 around the city. It would've been nice to have a higher zoom for some pictures, but the amount of pictures I took at 24mm is a lot bigger. If you have any further questions or comments feel free to let me know!

@@torbenmayer Thanks! This is very much a first world problem, with all these amazing lenses to consider. I also have the 14/1.8, 24/1.8, 40/2.5 and 85/1.4, so this zoom is really there for the convenience of having a do-it-all lens when I’m on the move. It sounds like I can’t go wrong with either the Sony 24-70/2.8 GMII or 20-70/4, which ultimately comes down to aperture / slightly better optics vs wider range / price saving. From what I’ve read online about image quality, 24-70/2.8GMII seems to be a hair sharper than 20-70/4 at f4, plus the full stop advantage of f2.8 which will no doubt come in handy as a low light handheld zoom option without needing to push ISO / rely on a tripod. The T35-150 sounds tempting, especially because the extra reach of 70-150mm does fit my shooting style more so than the 20-35mm range. But you’re absolutely on point too, as I’ll ultimately carry another zoom to cover the wider end of the zoom range. Carrying two lenses in this case more or lens negates the point of using the much heavier T35-150 as an all-purpose lens (especially on full-day city walks). But again, a very very good problem to have and I’m sure whatever I ended up going with will make a great shooting experience! Thanks for the above :)

@@Sparky_oto depending on your style and how long you shoot in a given period, the extra pound of the 35-150 will be very noticeable to the gmii. It's a VERY chonky lens.

@@summonedfist I totally see that happening! I’m surprised tamron didn’t think to add a tripod mount to the lens - it’s heavier than Sony’s 70-200/2.8 GM2! 🤦🏻

@oliverthompson4048 Happy to help! I unfortunately can't help you with RAW files from the 20-70/4 to peak into them, but if you find some you can compare them to the ones I uploaded in the description from the 24-70/2.8 GMII. Or you can try to ask in a camera store to use the lenses for a bit. Usually they are willing to let you shoot some pictures around the store or on the street in front of it, if you leave your ID or something like that. At least in Germany this works fine. Just make sure to bring a camera and your SD card and compare the pictures at home on your computer. The extra aperture stop helps a lot. I've only been using my tripod for shooting one timelapse in New York, everything else I shot was handheld. At least New York and London have been bright enough to get away with a max ISO 1000. And if you are at the river shooting the skyline, there is always a wall or pillar to set your camera up. For New York it was basically useless bringing it, for London I was confident enough to only bring a Gorillapod (I didn't end up using) for emergencies. Feel free to keep me updated on what you got when you made your decision! Also, the point brought up by @summonedfist is a valid one. On of the biggest wins of the GM II is the weight. I haven't had issues carrying it with a strap across my chest the whole day. And yes, not having a tripod mount on the lens feels a little bit odd, especially since Sony already showed how you can make one that you can easily remove if you don't need it. What also just came to my mind for your city trips: If you bring a backpack for food and snacks, you might want to take a look into PeakDesign's Capture Clip, if you haven't already. I have two (on on each strap), and they are amazing to carry around cameras while having quick access. I've mostly used them when I didn't want to carry a heavy lens across my chest or in a crowded area, to secure the camera to more than just a strap. They are available with two base plates (normal with Arca compability, dual with Arca and Manfrotto) and these work on quite a lot of standard tripod mounts. I'm about to make a video about everything I have from PeakDesign soon-ish. But to cut it short: Everything they make is not cheap, but it's great quality and really useful.

Thank you so much for your feedback and the time to write a comment! Happy to hear you liked the video :)

Thank you!

I know, right?! Saw them when I rented some G-Master lenses and since then I knew that I would just put them in some shelf, but probably never actually use them, except maybe for some holiday when I need to put them somewhere safe haha!

@@torbenmayer i think they are a bit too big, but also feels so quality. On the other hand if they were even larger it could be used to store camera - i think you could actually store something like zve10 in the existing ones haha

Yeah, I absolutely agree!

You will not regret buying it! So far it's a fantastic lens.

Thanks for your comment! Unfortunately no, they didn't answer my mail(s) up until now.

Update FYI: They read the comments and reached out to me, all information is in the pinned comment and in an upcoming update video. Thanks!

Thanks for your comment and your suggestion! :) I guess besides all I still would recommend this battery as the go to. Overall the pros outweigh the cons, and If you know what to look for (LCD going to sleep), it's still excellent to work with. I basically use it all the time, since I found a better way to mount it to my gimbal as well. I got some offers from different brands after this video, who wanted me to test out their products, but I didn't feel that any of them were as good as this one, but I have not tested them, because I have a long list of videos prepared that I want to get finished like 2 months ago. I already have plans for an out in the field microphone video, but I need to understand everything regarding sound a little bit better first, right now it's my biggest weakness. There will be a video at some point in the future, but probably not for the next 1-2 months. However, for outdoor shoots I either use the Rode Videomic Pro (the old one from 10 years ago) when I want to capture some overall scene, ambient, cars, etc. or the Rodelink Filmmaker Kit for a lavalier mic to capture myself. That being said, I'm trying to implement a direct comparison for that video, with the wireless go II and maybe some other alternatives. We'll see soon(-ish).

You're welcome and thank you for your feedback! It's a real shame since you can't rely on the product with this flaw, otherwise it would be really great. What product did you choose now? Maybe I'll take a look at it some day :)

Thanks man!

Ich hoffe das ich bald nochmal hinkomme! Leider hat meine Hauptdrohne ja den Geist aufgegeben als ich da war, also muss ich nochmal hin (als ob ich einen Grund dafür bräuchte) :D
