I have 20mm f/1.8G, 35mm f/1.4 GM, and 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art in my prime kit. As for the zoom, I picked up a Tamron 50-400mm recently, an insane super zoom.
@@DylanBlackburn no need to be jealous! Yes it`s an awesome lense, but at the end it`s "just" a lense :-) you are an absolutely blessed and gifted guy!
@@sincosy you’re right! I’ve just had that “itch” to get a telephoto lens since I’ve never shot anything beyond 105mm.. thinking about picking up the Sigma 100-400!
@@DylanBlackburn I had a chance to get it 200 bucks "cheaper" and thought, ok why not! in times of inflation is a 70-200gm II a lense with low loss of value. I assumed to shoot some wildlife with it, but 200mm is too short for this in many situations. thinking about a converter or something like the sigma you mentioned. But for indoor events the 70-200 is awesome even in low light.
@@sincosy don’t blame you at all in that case! It’s hard for me to imagine 200mm not being enough but I’m not too surprised. Could always easily sell the 70-200 and have more than enough for the Sony 100-400!
Love the 35GM, it’s on my camera all the time. I have both the 24-70GM and the 24-105G, much prefer the 24-105 for it’s lighter weight and greater versatility. I use a Zeiss Batis 85 for portraits, but don’t typically carry it around. Also have the Sigma 100-400 which is great if you want to shoot wildlife or other scenics. And it’s half the price of the Sony. I have several others but I don’t use them enough to say they’re an active part of my kit.
Great lenses. I currently have the 20mm 1.8, 35 GM and 135 GM. While the prime lenses are optically superior, sometimes having a zoom lens is so convenient. Specially when you are travelling and want only one lens to carry. Also, I find changing lenses so annoying. I would rather prefer carrying a second camera. I will try to grab a 24-70 GM II as soon as I find a good deal. As versatile as the 35mm is, I do sometimes wish it was a bit tight. Like a 50mm. 24,50,135, a dream trio for me. Having said that, I'm not parting ways with the 35 GM.
I have been loving the combo as 20 1.8 G and 35 1.4 GM. These cover a lot of type of city/architectural shots I want to take, as I mostly shoot from within the city vs. outside the city from afar where a telephoto lens would be advantageous. I am shooting on a a7Riv which gives me the option of cropping and I also mapped Super 35 to my C1 button giving me ~52.5mm f2.1 at 27 megapixels with a single lens.
Shot with the A7iii for years. Loved the 85mm Sigma Art lens (for portraits). 35mm is definitely a must as well (great for street). For wide angle, for homes and interiors, I used a Zeiss (I think the 24mm, but it's been a while). Love Sony stuff but the lenses aren't cheap.
Just picked up the 24-105 and looking for a wide angle. I had the 20mm f1.8 G lens and now I’m contemplating the Tamron 20-40 f2.8, but that prime sharpness is pretty solid. Definitely going to look at the 35 GM now, Thanks for your video!
Always great hearing your perspective and was reassuring to know you use the exact same kit as me minus the 24-105, considering the Tamron 20-40 for video instead due to the size & 67mm thread although I don’t know if i can justify this and the 20mm G. Especially as the lure of an FX30 and a kit of equivalent but tiny lenses (Sony15 1.4, Viltrox 23 1.4 & sigma 18-50 2.8) for travel. As I love the idea of having a compact kit. Even there’d be a compromise on photography. Looking forward to your 35mm comparison
I can’t wait to get my hands on the 24-105. I’ve always thought the 24-70 GM was my dream lens, but I’d rather have the extra reach over the speedier aperture.
Currently I have Sigma 24mm 1.4 Art Lens for videos and landscapes Zeiss 55mm 1.8 lens for portraits Sigma 28-70 f2.8 Mostly using this for photowalks and night events Planning to buy 16-35 f4 pz for landscapes in photowalks
I’m pretty torn. I’m interested in the 24-105mm but I’ve been rocking that same style on my a6300 and I’m upgrading to the A7 IV soon. I’ve been tempted to get the 24-70 GM Mk II but not sure. I could get the 24-105mm and the new Sony 50mm f1.4 but it’s such a hard decision!
I'm hoping to get the new A7R5 and the new Tamron 20 - 40. The rear screen and the new auto white balance and exposure metering, are the features that finally tilted me towards Sony.
Honestly, I would probably recommend a 24-70 2.8 if you’re looking for a great lens that can do both. But out of these three I would say the 35mm 1.4 because 35mm is a versatile focal length.
I have a Nikon D3100 from my grandpa and it has a 18-270mm lens. And I really love the wide range, so I can do a wide mountain picture and also a really zoomed in for other stuff. But I just can't find a good (also not that expensive) lens for the Sony a7iv, because I want to buy the a7iv in the future. Is there a lens with such big range for the a7iv under 1000€? Or do I need more money 😅
Also a great lens! I prefer a 35mm as an “all around lens” but 24mm is especially great for video and landscape and street photography. Not as portraits but you can definitely make it work
I have the A7IV And I use the sigma art lens 24-70 And is soooo ducking heavy Can someone tell me a light / good / cheap lens it can be fixed range or not It can be tiny lens too Any recommendations??????

That’s all the lenses you could ever need! I’ve been looking at the Sigma 100-400. Never owned a proper telephoto lens before!
I have the exact the same prime lenses! I have a sigma 28-70 2.8 zoom for the days I feel I don’t have time to change lenses (events, etc)
@@MarkStCyr either zoom lens.. you can’t go wrong with this trio of lenses!

20mm f1.4 Sigma, 35mm f1.4 GM, 50mm f1.2 GM, 85mm f1.4 Sigma. Plus some apps-c lenses. Thinking about the Tamron 35-150 or Sony 70-200 GMII as a zoom

I can’t wait to get my hands on the 24-105. I’ve always thought the 24-70 GM was my dream lens, but I’d rather have the extra reach over the speedier aperture.
Currently I have
Sigma 24mm 1.4 Art Lens for videos and landscapes
Zeiss 55mm 1.8 lens for portraits
Sigma 28-70 f2.8 Mostly using this for photowalks and night events
Planning to buy 16-35 f4 pz for landscapes in photowalks
Now that’s a solid lineup that has all of your bases covered!
I started off with the 20mm g, 35mm GM, and Tamron 35-150mm. Recently swapped out the 20mm and 35mm for the Sigma 24mm art and the Zeiss 55mm 1.8
Also great, solid lenses! Glad you found what lenses work best for you!
Don't overlook the Tamron 35-150 f2.0-2.8. It is bigger, heavier and pricier...but oh so worth it!!!!
Also a great lens! Haven’t gotten to try one out but would love to get my hands on one.
Love my 24-105 and 35!

Detailed video. Thanks bro🔥
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Waiting for the 35mm GM 1.4 vs 35mm 1.8 comparison👀
I promise it’s coming one day!!
What lens do you use for videos on your channel?
Mostly the 24-105!
I'm hoping to get the new A7R5 and the new Tamron 20 - 40.
The rear screen and the new auto white balance and exposure metering, are the features that finally tilted me towards Sony.
Very good choices! I would love to pick up an A7RV eventually!
You’re the best man ❤️
Thanks dude ❤
Hey! Good video. I have the A7 IV. I want to film and take pictures while traveling. Do you have an all-rounder lens recommendation?
So good!!❤
Thank you!!
Which of these lenses would you recommend for portraits AND cinematography?

Heads up, those are US prices. Here in Australia they are $2000, $2000, and $1500.

The Tamron 28-200 is probably your best option! Only $729 as well!
@@DylanBlackburn oh, very nice! Thank you so much👍
What about the 24mm Gm? I’m thinking either the 35mm Gm or the 24 how would u compare those
Also a great lens! I prefer a 35mm as an “all around lens” but 24mm is especially great for video and landscape and street photography. Not as portraits but you can definitely make it work
I have a Sony a7iv and going on a trip next month do you recommend the tamron 28-75? Or any small compact lenses?
The Tamron 28-75 is a great all around lens for trip! Try and make sure you get the recent version II that came out recently!
is the Sony FE 20-70mm f/4 G Lens a good sub for the 24-105?
Yes for sure if you don't have the 20mm 1.8!
I have the A7IV
And I use the sigma art lens 24-70
And is soooo ducking heavy
Can someone tell me a light / good / cheap lens
it can be fixed range or not
It can be tiny lens too
Any recommendations??????
Tamron 28-75 is a sleeper lense

how about any alternatives
Samyang/Rokinon lenses are great affordable alternatives!
