I have all the interest in the world but I miss the money, so i look at reviews to hopefully discourage me and calm myself, and i ended up after the review even more into it... Damn!
This thing looks like a beast! Might have to pick one up for those super-wide landscape shots. Thanks for the consistently high quality reviews Gerald! Cool to see Jared Polin in this too!
A year ago I would've been drooling over this lens. I purchased the Sigma 14-24 f/2.8 and the Voigtlander 15mm f/4.5 Heliar earlier this year, and if they did anything, they taught me that I really don't need anything that wide. (The sunstars on that Voigtlander, tho... ) Turns out, I rarely find myself shooting wider than 24mm and the Sigma 24-70 or the Sony 24GM are in my bag way more than anything wider than that.
I'm really glad to have found Sony is lending you all of these new lenses to review. You're reviews are awesome, and I think Sony has really stepped it up with their latest lenses.
Fun to have a guest! I’m also in southern Ontario and am suffering from the grey days and lack of interesting subjects in lockdown! Keep up the great content! 👍
Hey man, just wanted to thank you for your great reviews. Your demeanor and attention to detail is really refreshing, and I’m stoked everyone time I see a new review of yours pop up in the feed. Blessings from Seattle!
Hi Gerald … the shadows on your videos look lifted … is it purposely so or is it because of how resolve renders videos and after you upload … there is a shift in contrast
I normally film at 20mm since I always film people in my videos, I find it's a nice balance of wide view + distortion free video. However this lens at 14mm oddly looks like it may be usable for this purpose as well as it doesn't seem to have the crazy distortion I usually see from ultra wide lenses.
As always awesome info and review! I think you could also compare these two lenses with the Rokinon/Samyang 14mm f2.8 even though it's not a 1.8 it's a much cheaper option, and they recently released the Rokinon 14mm f2.8 mark ii, and I'm really liking it, would be nice to see how it stands against these much more expensive lenses.
I shoot a lot of Milky Way and wide landscape and really want to see Milky Way shots, particularly against the Venus Laowa 15mm f/2, which I own and have loved so far.
There's also the Samyang 14mm f2.8 native for E-Mount, I have it and use it for real estate video, bought it 2 months ago, but I wish this sony f1.8 was available back then, for the darker rooms, because at 14mm everything is almost always in focus
Good info! On the Sigma lenses, it could bear repeating what Art vs Classic vs Whatever means in their lineup. Same with Sony... G vs GMaster. When reviewing one marked as such, I could use the refresher on what it means. If this is minimal breathing, I was surprised. When focusing on and off the cube, the neon tubes in the background get translated what looks to be a long distance as their blur changes. Is that translation movement the breathing you're talking about? There's a lot!
This lens definitely has some breathing, just not as bad as the recent G Master releases. The breathing isn't so much about objects blurring out of focus, but more about when your field of view changes as you focus. If the shot gets a bit tighter or wider, that's focus breathing.
You are hands-down the best Sony reviewer on UA-cam. Which makes it fun to pick nits: that's a "caster" not a "wheel" that is distorted at the extreme edge. Keep up the great work!
Gerald, could you please compare this with the Samyang 14mm 2.8? Bought before I knew the Sony was being released and am curious whether switching is worth it.
16:05 that difference, in contrast levels between videos, made me think that you Gerald didn't colorgrade your footage at all. Jared has full blacks while you have slightly flatter blacks. But I like both :)
I shoot in S-Log3. So yeah, I do grade my footage. I keep higher blacks to make it easier to see the details on camera equipment, which is usually black. However, I don't adjust my guest's footage, because I want it to look how it looks on their channel.
@@geraldundone Yes, I noticed that. It's just a matter of personal taste and what your scenario looks like. If you had full blacks then everything would be very dark. I don't say your footage looks bad but after looking for more than a 1 minute of Jared video my eyes adapted to the contrast levels, saturated colours and overall brightness, so that made this huge difference. Anyway thanks for the video :)
Your vid's are so professional. The sound qualitys within are also awesome. Listening to it with beoplay H4 by B&O seen on an S.Galaxy S10. You're great man. Great review and compare. Will stay and focus ;)
amazing as always! thx for the video! can u please revie the new rf 100mm f2.8 macro lens? this lens seems to be the best lens ever made!, hope u do, cuz ur reviews are the best! alot of love! thx
Your work is amazing and so helpful. I was wondering if you've ever thought of doing a deep review of the a6300 and which mode is best to shoot with videowise?
Awesome review as always! I picked up the Laowa 15mm f2 D-Dreamer for my FX3 and have been loving it. This would be a great option for its AF capabilities, but at more than double the price of the Laowa, I'm willing to deal with the manual focusing. These wide lenses with close focus distance are so much fun, and really let you get some creative shots.
The minimum focus distance is measured from the sensor plane right? So could it be that since the sigma is much larger, the entrance pupil is closer to the subject? Even though the minimum focus distance is 2 cm longer, it's appearing closer?
Just saying, the minimum focus distance is always measured from the little icon on top of the camera. Which is the position of the sensor. Because the Sigma is much taller you can focus a bit closer.
I have samyang 14mm. f2.8 AF lens for sony e just bought few months ago ..and I am very much happy with performance ...it costed me 49500rs≈ 650 dollar
Dear Gerald, thanks for the review! Since a year, I use Voigtländer 12/5.6 III for Sony FE. I also tried Sigma 14-24mm. AF, faster apperture and zoom range seduced me...but I gave it back in the end. Why Voigtländer keeps beeing my one and only? Why I would consider thinking on this option even if you are a autofocus fan? (own experience) 1. you can leave focus on one position in order to have everything in focus. Hyperfocal distance is extreme on ultra wide angle lenses. No AF needed. 2. For moving objects, normally 1/160s is sufficient against motion blur. You don't need a AF system. At 8.0 every thing from 1m to infinity is in focus (42MP) 3. Blury background rarely produces a desired/outstanding ultra wide picture. It is not the top attribute of an ultra wide angle. 4. Price of Voigtländer is around 800€ thus significantly less expensive as either option presented. 5. Voigtländer sunstars are outstanding already stopped down 1/3 stop at 6.3. Really well defined, well pronounced, no comparison to Sigma in my experience. Don't neglected sunstars in ultra wide pictures! Sun is mostly present in the frame! (Sorry Gerald for the bad photo-weather) the Sun is evidently a prominent element and should appear good... 6. Center sharpness at 5.6 is remarkable. Edge sharpness is a bit worse. But at 8.0-11.0 edges are very usable. (ISO100, ~1/200 s is mostly no problem in day light) 7. A typical composition of good locking ultra wide pictures is the game with perspective, lines and foreground/background. In my best shots I have very close elements and very distant elements dominant in the same shot. So stopping down is a must to get everything sharp. --> a fast lens provides no significant plus. It also needs to stopped down. 8. Finally: weight...it is at 380g. I have it with me all the time. Even if you add, for example, a samyang 24/2.8 to your kit you are lighter, less large and cheeper than Sigma 14-24mm, and have 2mm extra on the wide end... Honestly, zooms are mostly used at theire extremities. The only drawback I see is astro and moving objects in the dark... Even indoor shots of static objects, hand held with (low) artificial light source are possible: burst-shoot at 0,5s ISO100 ; one of 5 is fine (IBIS) All in all, with time, if you think on the entire "package". It is remarkably how well the various parameters of a lens design are balanced. (I don't work for Voigtländer ;-) )
Hey Gerald, awesome review! Quick question, I know they’re not a fair comparison, but just wondering what you’d recommend for real estate videography. What would you recommend. Sony g master 14mm f1.8, or the sigma 14-24mm! Just wondering if you think the quality and distortion control is worth sacrificing the ability to zoom? Appreciate any feedback
So the Sigma is more of a "Fisheyed" vs Ultrawide. Had that decision with the Samyang / Rokinon Lenses. Ultrawide vs. Fisheye. One keeps "perspective" and the other distorts and rounds it.
This is what i am looking for, final decisions! dont leave the review without your opinion and like Jared said If this is your first wide angle i would go with 14-24 sigma! Thanks for that! Helped me make my decision! This is what i expect from most reviews but they just leave it open ended.
I have a Rokinon 14mm 2.8 Nikon lens with a Sony E-mount adapter. So much distortion! I can’t believe how good this lens looks. But the main problem with the Rokinon is the lack of contrast. I just can’t get a good image out of it. Thank you for showing us what the world would look like at $1,500 US.
ALWAYS look at Gerald Undone first, For filters Haida rear lens nd filter kit for sony fe 12-24mm f 4 g lens should work have on my 1224 f/4 and f/2.8 for night they have the Clear Night filter that I shot with my f/2.8, very good for sky glow and good colors with ground lights. Where the Ultra Wides like 10,12,14 start to deform is when shooting in a room, shot at a corner from a corner but windows and doors will be elongated/wider. Some will want to use in a church/temple/mansion to get all the cool art but sides will be out of form and best to use a narrower lens and do a pano if possible. I saw a review with astro MW and this lens is like the 20mm f/1.8 and 24mm f/1.4 pinpoint stars wide open at 15s with an accurate NPF of 10.45s with A7s 10.47s A7Siii and a default of 20.95s. For astro the thing to remember yes you have 1.8 but SS has to be faster that 2.8 (accurate 11.73s A7Siii). Why because you are using more edge glass where comma is worse, just physics. The Sigma DOES has comma at 1.8 seen if galactic center is to the right in frame, sad!!! Also remember ultra wides must be level for straight lines. Thanks Gerald will be in my bag!!!!
Great review, though I do wonder how this lense would go for astrophotography related work in regards to coma and astigmatism. Review on lenstip did not seem to rate it very well at all in this regard.
"can't screw filters" ah man. Still, the distortion control is very important in my architectural work. On an APSC, I'll still get 21mm! Thanks for this review. I think Sony is reading my mind. Or maybe these tech wars are just a great consumer benefit.
Own this lens, yes it is great at night, what I really like it for is in big outdoors water sky scenes with with miniumal objects either in the water and sky, and also use internal ND filter over the senor. It is a great piece of kit!
I would like to see your review for the sigma 14-24 f/2.8 dg dn and sigma 16-28 f/2.8 dg dn, the 14-24 it’s few years old but I didn’t see you reviewing it 🙏 and even the sony 12-24 f2.8
For your product review videos, does this 14mm lens have advantages over the 35mm you’re using to shoot this video? I have an a7c I’m trying to pair a lens with for (primarily) meetings/presentations with green screen, secondarily for wide angle nature videography. thanks for such a great channel!
Currently using a tamron 17-28 f2.8 for real estate photography, and I find sometimes I need to be a little bit wider. Would it be noticeable for this lens as an upgrade?
I have no intentions of buying this lens but damn do I just love Gerald Undone reviews 👍
Haha same
I have all the interest in the world but I miss the money, so i look at reviews to hopefully discourage me and calm myself, and i ended up after the review even more into it... Damn!
Heh same bro...
Same
Same 😌
ha ha ha and I. thought I am weird... same here....
FroKnows!!!! Thanks for asking me to be in the video.
Jared! Completely agree on the 12-24 being the preferred choice for the versatility
It's like a Marvel crossover event!
Please keep this collab going. Great mix of personalities. Heading on over to Jared's review right now!
CAN I SAY TWO CHAMPS HERE? GOOD JOB!
Best Jared`s review
Honestly wondering why you still don't have more subs. Always my first go-to youtuber for this content!!
Me too! I pretty much first check Gerald's videos for all my lens and body purchasing decisions.
Yeah he really deserves more subs, though I like Christopher Frost his video's a bit more because it cuts to the chase more and not much chit chat.
This thing looks like a beast! Might have to pick one up for those super-wide landscape shots. Thanks for the consistently high quality reviews Gerald! Cool to see Jared Polin in this too!
I am on an APS-C. Dunno why I am watching this, but I can watch any undone video any day.
Jared popping up here is like when you were a kid and the characters from one show somehow magically appeared on another show and your mind was blown.
A year ago I would've been drooling over this lens. I purchased the Sigma 14-24 f/2.8 and the Voigtlander 15mm f/4.5 Heliar earlier this year, and if they did anything, they taught me that I really don't need anything that wide.

No words wasted. Straight to the point and no crazy fashion photo shoots.
Great review, and wow man - your studio is neatly arranged! I love the wide shot of your studio!
Thanks so much! Appreciate it. 🙏💜
Awesome as always Gerald!
Love this 14mm GM !
Always a great review. Im 100% with Jared on this with the 12-24! Thanks Gerald!
As usual, a world class review.
Gerald is in a class of its own.
6:27 - that's how I like it.
:O
99 primes but 50 ain’t one? Man, That’s 🔥🔥🤣😂
Great review Sir 👍
Nice review !
I just love watching the reviews from you 👍🏼
Always helpful and entertaining! Thanks for another great review.
that's an amazing lens for vlogging, sony is listening, thanks for the review!
I just watched the Fro review before yours so when 12:45 came along I was tripped up for a second hahaha

You are hands-down the best Sony reviewer on UA-cam. Which makes it fun to pick nits: that's a "caster" not a "wheel" that is distorted at the extreme edge. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Of course, I have to pick back that all casters are wheels, but not all wheels are casters. 😜 So, I wasn't wrong, just unspecific.
@@geraldundone So my nitpick is undone?
Love hearing your thoughts on these new lens! Makes me want to buy everything HAHA. Informative as always! 💯✔️🔥
The first place I come to when the embargo lifts! Great review!
Great video thanks!
Another brilliant review. Succinct, clear, balanced and informative. Thank you!
I don't own this lens. I don't own sony. Yet here I am.
Merci beaucoup.
Amazing video... Sony is cccrrrushing the lens game!
Holy cow!! Great to see Sony releasing this 14 mm wide angle lens at F/1.8!!! Can complete the prime lens collection now
What lenses are in your collection?
isn´t the closeup caused by sigma being much longer but focus distance is measured from sensor
How's it compare to the Laowa 15mm f2?
I'm getting mine today. So excited!!!
Gerald, could you please compare this with the Samyang 14mm 2.8? Bought before I knew the Sony was being released and am curious whether switching is worth it.
Sony 20mm f1.8 has been my favorite prime for astro & real estate..might need to pick one of these up 🙃
Gerald + Jared are a super team, nobody can beat them
I only have MFT system, but the review is super informative. As I shoot in a dark small room it helps having a wide angle prime.
Awesome video! And nice surprise collab with The Fro Man!
A photographer with a Windows laptop, what a breath of fresh air. 😍 Thanks for the review Gerald.
Sonys’ on a roll 😃

As always - such a great review. Excited to see how it stacks on astro but the comparison against the Sigma is really great to see.
amazing as always! thx for the video!
can u please revie the new rf 100mm f2.8 macro lens? this lens seems to be the best lens ever made!, hope u do, cuz ur reviews are the best!

What an incredibly informative and helpful and amazingly succinct review.
This lens is shockingly compact. Thinking about selling the 12-24 GM at this moment.
The minimum focus distance is measured from the sensor plane right? So could it be that since the sigma is much larger, the entrance pupil is closer to the subject? Even though the minimum focus distance is 2 cm longer, it's appearing closer?
Where do you get those beefy-style lens caps? Been looking for them everywhere.
Yo Gerald you the Man! I already have the Sigma Art 14-24 and while I love it its a heavy lens. May have to pick this one up.
Just saying, the minimum focus distance is always measured from the little icon on top of the camera. Which is the position of the sensor. Because the Sigma is much taller you can focus a bit closer.
What a wild crossover episode
"Seeing things from different perspectives" Lifelessons over here, thanks Gerald!
I own the 14MM 1.8 I love it is small and with A7sIII is super bright in dark ballrooms and clubs where i make all of my content.
I have samyang 14mm. f2.8 AF lens for sony e just bought few months ago ..and I am very much happy with performance ...it costed me 49500rs≈ 650 dollar
Nice review thanks! I get the feeling the edit has been speeded up 10-15% lol is this how fast you actually speak bro? :D

Dear Gerald, thanks for the review! Since a year, I use Voigtländer 12/5.6 III for Sony FE. I also tried Sigma 14-24mm. AF, faster apperture and zoom range seduced me...but I gave it back in the end.

Hey Gerald, awesome review!
Quick question, I know they’re not a fair comparison, but just wondering what you’d recommend for real estate videography.
What would you recommend.
Sony g master 14mm f1.8, or the sigma 14-24mm!
Just wondering if you think the quality and distortion control is worth sacrificing the ability to zoom?
Appreciate any feedback
So the Sigma is more of a "Fisheyed" vs Ultrawide.
Had that decision with the Samyang / Rokinon Lenses.
Ultrawide vs. Fisheye.
One keeps "perspective" and the other distorts and rounds it.
14mm for food photography?
My anxiety for the Sigma so close to the edge of the table 😐 ... Love the video! Great job as always Gerald ♥️
This is what i am looking for, final decisions! dont leave the review without your opinion and like Jared said If this is your first wide angle i would go with 14-24 sigma! Thanks for that! Helped me make my decision! This is what i expect from most reviews but they just leave it open ended.
I have a Rokinon 14mm 2.8 Nikon lens with a Sony E-mount adapter. So much distortion! I can’t believe how good this lens looks. But the main problem with the Rokinon is the lack of contrast. I just can’t get a good image out of it. Thank you for showing us what the world would look like at $1,500 US.
ALWAYS look at Gerald Undone first, For filters Haida rear lens nd filter kit for sony fe 12-24mm f 4 g lens should work have on my 1224 f/4 and f/2.8 for night they have the Clear Night filter that I shot with my f/2.8, very good for sky glow and good colors with ground lights. Where the Ultra Wides like 10,12,14 start to deform is when shooting in a room, shot at a corner from a corner but windows and doors will be elongated/wider. Some will want to use in a church/temple/mansion to get all the cool art but sides will be out of form and best to use a narrower lens and do a pano if possible. I saw a review with astro MW and this lens is like the 20mm f/1.8 and 24mm f/1.4 pinpoint stars wide open at 15s with an accurate NPF of 10.45s with A7s 10.47s A7Siii and a default of 20.95s. For astro the thing to remember yes you have 1.8 but SS has to be faster that 2.8 (accurate 11.73s A7Siii). Why because you are using more edge glass where comma is worse, just physics. The Sigma DOES has comma at 1.8 seen if galactic center is to the right in frame, sad!!! Also remember ultra wides must be level for straight lines. Thanks Gerald will be in my bag!!!!
I will definitely be getting this lens, absolutely astro beast that will eventually replace the Laowa 15mm F2.
I'm Gerald Undone,and i love Bengaluru from INDIA 😍
Amazing lens!
Great video!!! What exact ND filters work with this?
Two Camera Legends 🙏
How about the light transmission ? Is sony brighter than sigma ?
Very similar. In the comparisons the exposure settings were identical and the images look about the same in that regard.
“What’s up everybody. I’m Gerald undone, and I only listen to MP4 files”
Great review, though I do wonder how this lense would go for astrophotography related work in regards to coma and astigmatism. Review on lenstip did not seem to rate it very well at all in this regard.
"can't screw filters" ah man. Still, the distortion control is very important in my architectural work. On an APSC, I'll still get 21mm! Thanks for this review. I think Sony is reading my mind. Or maybe these tech wars are just a great consumer benefit.
I love your videos
Own this lens, yes it is great at night, what I really like it for is in big outdoors water sky scenes with with miniumal objects either in the water and sky, and also use internal ND filter over the senor. It is a great piece of kit!
Jared Polin has a condition called nystagmus I'd be interested in knowing how it affects his photography
Are filters needed for Astro with this?
Seems difficult
So we have a 14mm GM, 16-35mm GM, 12-24mm GM & 20mm G. Would love to know which one is the better purchase for someone buying their first wide angle.
I would say 16-35 GM
I would like to see your review for the sigma 14-24 f/2.8 dg dn and sigma 16-28 f/2.8 dg dn, the 14-24 it’s few years old but I didn’t see you reviewing it 🙏 and even the sony 12-24 f2.8
For your product review videos, does this 14mm lens have advantages over the 35mm you’re using to shoot this video? I have an a7c I’m trying to pair a lens with for (primarily) meetings/presentations with green screen, secondarily for wide angle nature videography. thanks for such a great channel!
Currently using a tamron 17-28 f2.8 for real estate photography, and I find sometimes I need to be a little bit wider. Would it be noticeable for this lens as an upgrade?
Gerald -- don't forget the in-depth, highly-technical UA-cam scrub review from Kasey at Camera Conspiracies!!!!! :-)
thank you for this video
