    I’ve used the 20mm a lot for video on the S3. The extra 4mm you get is nice to make up for the crop from active stabilization.

    Dude, this review was the most helpful out of 10+ reviews I’ve watched so far comparing these two lenses! I’ve been leaning toward getting the 24mm f1.4, but so many reviews felt like they were pushing me to save $500 because the difference is almost nothing..... but you showed me that the difference is huge on the 1.4 vs 1.8! I’m done deciding now. Getting the 24mm thanks to you!

    Thanks for this video. I'm just thinking about to buys one of these lenses (mainly for landscapes and traveling). I think the 20mm is not bad, a good working tool, but in my eyes it doesn't have this magical look of the 24mm 1.4. Greetings from your new channel memeber from Germany :)

    It's good to *finally* see someone do real-world side-by-side comparisons of the field-of-view look (especially like at 04:24) to illustrate the differences between these two lenses. Thanks for the great content! One tip: with AF tests, moving side-to-side is just testing the AF tracking, not the focus motor. Try running at the camera or away from it to really see if the motors can keep up! :-)

    It’s a tough call man. Sony sent me the 24mm to use for a bit, and I fell in love with it. That being said, the 20mm would be a bit better for my vlogging content 🤔

  • @paulhancock
    @paulhancock 2 місяці тому

    Obviously years later but still a relevant comparison as neither has been replaced yet. After trying both, I've just gone for the 20mm as my existing kit was 35, 85, 100-400, and 20mm is a perfect companion to those other lenses.
    Including cashback I just got the 20mm for £625 which is just a bargain. I couldn't justify any reason to go for the 24mm as I rarely shoot at f1.4 anyway.
    It's just an excellent lens and almost crazy how Sony undercut its own lens with an equally good product at a lesser price.

  • @alieazzy1631
    @alieazzy1631 3 роки тому +2

    So using 20mm on Sony a7siii actually becomes better than 24. We get 1.13 crop in active stab so 20 becomes 22.6 on the top of that if you shoot in 4K 120 you get a small crop of 1.1 that’s brings the 20mm to 24.86 so why not get the 20mm and save a few bucks.
    On the stills sides it still 20mm unless you clear image zoom and make it 40mm :)
    I think it’s a good buy with Sony a7siii or FX3.

    Hi! very nice video!
    What do you think about distortion in portraits compared to the 24mm GM? Can I get the same result by cropping a photo taken with the 20mm to reach 24 than taking it with the 24? Will there be any difference in perspective and distortion in the case of cropping? Thanks

    @jamesmlodynia8757 Місяць тому

    If I was using the lens for video as you are than the 24mm is a better option but as some one that uses his gear for photography because the view in front of me is much more photogenic being that I am a 67 year old balding white dude, the only time I photograph my self is when I'm having a dinner on the beach with my wife in Aruba, see I kinda look like actor John Lovits, not the most handsome white dude but as long as I take my wife to Aruba once a year, I can continue my obsession with photography and camera gear, I have the 20mm f1.8 in my collection but opted for the compact G series lens at 24mm and 40mm. I have fast f1.4 options for my Panasonic S5 and S5 MKII that I used in my event photography days...Peace!

  • @wvansluisveld3011

    Having seen this video saves me a grand+ as I have the best of both focal lengths with the Tamron 17-28 f2.8. Although I'd love to have either one I don't see a significant improvement that justifies an upgrade. Although probably great for photo, the building in the background showed a lot of focus breathing on the 24.
