    18-105? That's equivalent of a 24-150, i think you mean 18-55 similar to the sigma 18-55 f2.8 for apsc... Probably simply a mistake, but just in case any ones wondering

    Love watching your stuff, especially as a Sony A7 shooter myself. Have you tried the Samyang 85mm f1.4? Super sharp and can isolate a subject perfectly at 1.4. Do you usually shoot RAW for more pay in editing or keep it to jpeg with small tweaks?

    • @MulliganAl
      @MulliganAl Рік тому +1

      I sure wouldn’t enjoy shooting street photography throughout the day with the Samyang or Tamron 35-150 since it’s heavy and very unbalanced. I just did two months in SE Asia and for me the 24-70 GM II at under 700g was a pleasure to shoot with single handed and to carry throughout the day ~ but that’s just me.

      If you don't mind the little extra weight, Samyang 24-70 f2.8 is your best bet.
      I have it myself. Great lens, just a bit heavier than Sigma & this Sony GM.

  • @aklivn49
    @aklivn49 8 місяців тому

    If you want a great easy to carry lens? The best walk about lens is the Sony FE 24-105mm f4 OSS. Smaller. lighter, half the price of the 2.8, and you can buy excellent used ones for about $675.00! (why buy new?) And you get OSS on top of that. And don't believe the hype with the Tamron's, the 28-75 & 28-200mm. Over priced plastic. Had them both, sold them as fast as I bought them. Yah the Tamron 28-75mm is a bit better than the Sony kit 28-70mm. But not $800.00 dollars better. I mean, if your a professional, and have to have the 2.8, yah, that makes sense. But for 99.9% of the ppl, NO. Great video btw.

    • @Opticalwander
      @Opticalwander  Рік тому

      I would say so! It means when you get darker situations you can open up that aperture to get a brighter image. It just gives you a more versatile lens. Obviously you can still shoot at 28mm f2.8 but it’s limiting and I would personally be looking at getting a f2.8 all the way through.

  • @armaanhirani4422
    @armaanhirani4422 Рік тому

    Why not always use f2.8? I assumed the point in investing in a lens like this was for the wide aperture. Example, at 7:36 you use f16, why couldn't someone use f2.8 and a slower shutter speed? Don't mean to demean/diminish your skills, awesome video! I always learn a lot watching these!

    • @Opticalwander
      @Opticalwander  Рік тому +2

      Because when you open the shutter for a longer period of time you need to keep the exposure at the right exposure so you don’t over expose if I left it at 2.8 the photo would be to bright. The reason I had a longer shutter was due to me wanting to have the tram blurry for the photo and the subject in focus. Hope this explains your question.
