Love these reviews.
I hope it’s a long time before you give up the 24mm. You’re one of the few I see nailing that focal length, and it gives me someone to learn from.
Cant wait to see you using the combo Sony 35mm 1.4 + Sigma 85mm 1.4 for weddings !
Love those sample images. I really appreciate the balance of samples and talking heads.
Ordered one here in the states over 2 months ago. Still on backorder. No matter, it will come. And from all the reviews I watched, I will not be disappointed. Glad you are enjoying that copy. Cheers.
Yea it was delayed. Currently release date shows as April 12th that it should start shipping from most places
@@llStixxll my 35 mm f1.4 g master just shipped out today from adorama. I can't wait until it gets here :D
Best review of this lens i found on yt. Also thank you for the RAWs, cant wait to try them with my presets!
You deserve more subs man.. been following for i think 2 yrs now.. keep it up
Just recieved mine yesterday. Even more happy with it after seeing your review. Thanks.
Looking forward to your next video.
Chris enjoy seeing your videos. Only just started having the algorithm show them. Great to see a photographer that is making a living with these lenses provide real-world reviews
I've been looking forward to this one! love your review videos so much
Thanks man!
again the best review !
you video really make me cant watch other reviewer, its like another lv standard the way u describe everything to get beautiful perspective each personal. thx again chris !
Another great video. I decided to order this lens and a 55 1.8 (used). I was stuck between this and the 50 GM until I realized I could get the 35 and 55 for the price of just the 50, and keep my 24 GM. Made the choice easier
55 Sony/Zeiss is amazing, and also small and light as a bonus
@@aliendroneservices6621 perfect lens to carry everywhere.
55 Zeiss is my fave lens
Just bought the 35mm f1.8 because of your past videos. Sticking with this one for a while!
It’s a great little lens
Thanks Chris- looks like I now know what my next lens will be!
Late last year I swapped from shooting Nikon to Sony after buying the A7S3. I purchased the 24mm G master based on so many great reviews including yours. Then, 3 months later Sony released this 35mm lens. I love to shoot using this focal length and felt the 24mm was just not giving me that extra something special. Yesterday, I purchased the 35mm G master after selling in my 24mm lens. (Yes, I lost some $$$ in this process). I'm thrilled with the images the 35mm is giving me. It's a massive improvement as the shots look so much more dynamic and cinematic. Shooting wide open with a VND is incredible. Couldn't be happier and will put the money I lost on the 24mm lens behind me.
Would have loved the 1.4 but already had bought the 1.2 and loving it! Another great video. Many thanks
Another great review, thanks Chris!
I’m just salivating watching Chris hold and shoot with the A1 + 35mm 1.4 or 50mm 1.2.
Thanks so much for the sample photos the a1 picture quality is just out of this world...
Great video again Chris. The 24mm gm was my go to lens, and It would never leave my camera. Until now. The 35mm gm is just so damn good. I still love my 24mm, and I completly understand if pepole dont wanna get the 35mm if you have the 24mm. But if you have the money for it, and you love the 24mm, your gonna love the 35mm as well.
Great video again mate, have a great weekend 😊
Just use the Sony 24mm 1.4 GM as I sometimes do in APSC mode (on Sony A7RIV) and you have a "35mm 1.4" ;)
Gahhhh! Your videos always make me want to buy new lenses!!!
I was actually curious if you'd ever be interested in doing a behind the scenes of you shooting a wedding. Like a "a day of" style.
Loved the video, and G R E A T photos man!!!
🔥🔥🔥 Awesome! Greatly appreciated your point of view 😄
Hi Chris, thanks for the review and especially for the RAW files. It's so helpful when you can test the RAW photos yourself.
I'm not a big fan of Sony, but with the A7 IV, Sony seems to have made up some ground when it comes to the color reproduction of the RAW files.
I switch it up, sometimes 24/50, sometimes 35/85, sometimes I carry three cameras, 24/50/135. If you mix it from time to time it doesn‘t get boring
Great video! It would be nice to see the 24 in crop mode vs the 35!
I have 35 f1.8, my bread & butter lens, love it but I am switching to this 35 gm (ordered yesterday) lens since I've always wanted to have a gm lens in my arsenal 🙂 Thanks for sharing your thoughts and keep up the great work 🙏
Waiting for Sony to release a follow up to the Zeiss 35 1.4 and this looks amazing. I didn’t expect to fall in love with the 24mm GM as much as I did though so I’ll stick with the 24 right now
Just use the Sony 24mm 1.4 GM as I sometimes do in APSC mode (on Sony A7RIV) and you have a "35mm 1.4" ;)
Awesome video. Those shots with the mud look incredible! I have the 24mm f1.4 and absolutely love it. I've been thinking about buying the 35mm f1.4 as either an addition or replacement. I like the focal length and find I use crop mode enough on my RIV to really consider the new 35mm. Hard choice since I'm not sure it's worth spending the cash just so I can use the entire 61MP sensor 😣
I also use the Sony 24mm 1.4 GM in APSC mode (on Sony A7RIV) to have a "35mm 1.4" ;)
@@Anarki2U I used to do this with my 24mm G master. There's a big difference between the look of the cropped 24mm and the 35mm 1.4 G master. So much so, I sold my 24 and only shoot using my new 35mm. It's like butter at 1.4
Another great review!
great video. buying the Sony 35mm 1.4 G master soon.
Great review once again! I really like your stuff mate :) I've been debating upgrading my 35/1.8 to the GM but I feel that I will not get the "wow" for the price compare to my 1.8. Would you or will you upgrade?
I mean there’s two ways to look at it. Firstly if you had the money no problem then I probably would, but also while you will see a difference in the final photo it’s not going to change an average photo into a good one if you know what I mean.
Ordered the 35 gm to go with my 90mm macro and keeping the 55 for travelling light.
There are so many options of 35mm lenses to Sony at the moment, for those on a small budget the Tamron 35mm 2.8 are a great lens ! Next up are your second favourite the Sony 35mm 1.8 and now the Sony 35mm 1.4 GM, but I will wait for the Voigtländer 35mm 2.0 APO-Lanthar to arrive.
There are a lot of ways to pair lenses, fx as you mention 35 + 85, I will never go for a 50mm, the 55mm are ok so a 24 + 55 can go together, I think there have to be at least 2.5x between two prime lenses in optical lenght, 3x to 4x are very good, so fx 24 +90. You can also pair 3 or 4 lenses. My set are 24 + 55 + 135 + 200-600, the 55mm will soon be replaced by the Voigtländer 65mm 2.0 Macro APO-Lanthar and the tele-zoom will be replaced as soon as a new compact prime tele are available on the market, fx 300mm 4.0, 400mm 4.5 or 500mm 5.6. With a wide-angle lens prime lens a short tele lens (two-set lenses) you can do about 90 to 95% of all type of photography.
Thanks for the RAWs been comparing them to what I get with the Canon M50 and EF-m 32mm 1.4 and doing my usual edit in Capture One, plenty of res spare to do composition crop and dynamic range to bump up the dark areas , I'm ready to get the A7RIVA when it's in stock I'm assuming its dynamic range will be less.
Hey, Chris!
Always love your reviews. Simple and straight to the point!
I know it’s been a while since you had reviewed 35GM. But I want to know how do you feel about af performance differences (if there’s any) between 24 and 35 GMs?
I own 35 at the moment, but started to get obsessed with 24mm and I wonder if it’s worth it to trade in my 35 for 24. I have a fast 3 yr old daughter so I wanna be sure 24 will track her best moments.
Thank you in advance!
I just got the samyang 85mm 1.4 and its just perfect for portraits. I really want to pair it with the 35mm GM. Only thing is I want to see more videos after it comes out so I can purchase it.
Hi Chris, I always enjoy your videos and your perspective as a photographer! Big thank you! I love travel, documenting, portraiture, and landscape photography. Q for you: Would you recommend a combo like 24mm GM & 85mm for such a variety of photography without a 35mm?
It’s a personal choice eh. If I was travelling I’d probably use a 35. I very rarely use an 85 even for portraits. If I didn’t have a 35 I think I’d be fine travelling with a 24 also
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer thank you 😊
Hi Cris, thanks for another great video. I just get over from nikon to sony, and don’t regret. I bought the A1 with 24 mm 1.4 GM , 50mm 1.2 GM and the 135mm 1.8 GM. Think its a good combo and I can use the crop on the camera for more flexibility in between, with still good file quality. Keep up the good work.
What do you use the 50mm f/1.2 for? I just wanted the 35mm f/1.4 for low light situations. I thought 35mm would be the best overall focal length if I was going to have just one fast lens.
@@UndefinedBailiwick Hi jim, I use the 50 mm 1.2 for portraits inside. Its my fastest and scharpest GM lens. With the A1 I easily can crop and have 75 mm.
I just bought the sigma 35 f2 i series lens and its amazing on the a7r4 and a9ii
Mine just came in at my local shop! I’m headed to get it in 15 minutes. Cheers!
Chris, thank you for the video. Question for you. Will the hood of the new 35mm f1.4 GM fit the 24mm f1.4 GM? Will it provide sufficent flair reduction? Waiting for my 35/1.4 GM. Delayed here for two months with the recall/reissue.
Nice video, and good choice for the music…
The new 35 gm is amazing but I’m gonna stick with my 35 1.8 because I’m just a hobbyist haha
Ma sha Allah. No bad eye to your beautiful kids. May Allah bless them and protect them.
Great reviewk. Saving to buy this lense
I can't wait for this lens! I pre-ordered it in January - and then the shipping delay happened.
Hi Chris, great videos. Would a 35mm be useable for portraits in the studio? I have Tamron 28-75 and Sony 16-35. Want my first prime lens now.
Weird question. Does the circular lens hood on the 35mm GM fit on the 24mm GM?
Just watched your 24mm GM video, any suggestions which should I get first? this or the 24 GM? I currently have a 55mm and 85mm and looking to get something wider.
SUPER Helpful!
My strategy for lens options is 24mm GM, 50mm GM & 135mm GM. I really hate skipping the 35mm focal length (My Favourite) but i can't get a 35mm over that gorgeous 50mm...
Sorry just a bit confused on your opinion on 35mm 1.4 Zeiss vs 35mm 1.4 Sigma... I’m getting both for around the same price. What should I buy for longevity and wedding photography?
Hey Chris, what’s up the the severe chromatic aberration, purple fringing in the high contrast shots with the branches? Any sense of how they edited and if you were able to salvage those images?
Yeah like I said in real extreme situations it shows a bit of ca. It fixes up pretty easy. But it is there. Honestly it doesn’t really worry me, I’d prefer not to have CA but I’ve never came across a situation where I can’t fix it
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer right on. And thank you very much Chris, you’re so generous with your time.
Someone on the Facebook “Sony Alpha Camera” group named Bao Tran took one of your raw photos and posted it there showing how the CA is, stirring up some controversy. I pasted some screenshots from your video of the processed images and linked to the video so people could see for themselves.
@@TimothyGordon thanks man saw that. Really appreciate it
Great review legend gonna get the 35 for sure, how long till you do the South Island trip on the KTM?
Not to sure eh the bike is all ready and I have all the camping gear now so not too long probably. I’ve started another channel for it called “captain midlife” lol
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer yeah sick I’ll keep an eye out for it, I get around on super duke so keen as for that content
Nice man. Yeah I’m thinking of getting either a 1250GSA or a 1290 KTM Adventure soon eh
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer I do love the BMWs but just have no experience with them but the 1290 is definitely a sweet thing
@@kyledrysdale9004 I don’t either yet, have to ride one and see
Hi Chris, nice photos as usual. I compared the raw file and the photos in the video, obviously, the photo in the video are so much more clear than the raw file, especially the black paint of the cars, is this all because of the CTM 3 universal preset?
I guess so, the presets are pretty good haha. All the photos are pretty much one click edit aside from white balance and exposure
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer cheers mate!
Did they fix the focus breathing issue with video?
How is the focus breathing for video? Compared to Sigma 35 1.4?
Great video. What about focus breathing with video? I’ve read this is a major issue with this lens.
I can’t keep a straight face and say it’s an issue. I’d suggest trying it
Do you think it's worth swapping a Sigma 2470 art with 24 or 35mm GM?
Hi . Thanks for all the very very interesting and useful informational videos. I would need advice; (I have a Sony a7III with sigma 85mm 1.4 and a Tamron 24-70 2.8) I need a second camera body for documentary filmmaking and I'm undecided between Leica Q2 or a Sony A7RIII with 35mm 1.4 GM ... what would you choose and why? I hope you answer me :) thanks again
Film making like video? I’d never buy a Leica Q2 for video.
Hey Chris, I currently have the 20mm G and 55mm in my kit and am looking into lens pairings for events/weddings. You mentioned 24/85, 35/85, 24/50 and 35/135 as nice pairings. If shooting a wedding with a 55/135 combo, would you feel like you may be missing some context by not having the 24 or 35 on the wide end? What are your thoughts on 85 vs 135 for the long end? Thanks for your videos!
Definitely yeah I’d hate to have nothing wider than a 55. It is kinda personal preference but at the same time you really wanna have at least a 35
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer Thanks, I'll have to see what focal length, 24 or 35, calls to me more and pair from there. And if you ever get a chance to compare you experiences with 85/135 I'd love to here your perspective. The Sigma 85 1.4 seems like such a good value, but that Sony 135 1.8 offers some pretty incredible images.
I have the samyang 35mm f1.4 af, im not a profossional photohrapher. But will it be worth it for me to upgrade to the GM or just stick with my samyang?
I’m in a bad spot I’m currently rolling with the sigma 28mm art and the 40mm art .. love the two lens 😫😫
I can very confidently say I’d never buy those two lenses, but I’m impressed your using them. Whatever the tool is you need go for gold
The 24 might be even more compelling now that Adobe have launched their Super Resolution 4x feature in Camera Raw. I was considering selling my A7iii, however now the A7Riv is closer to leaving my bag. Have you tested the Super Resolution feature and what is your opinion on this?
I've seen a couple of reviewers say it's the same as turning the sharpness sliders all the way up, one of the reviews was Tony northrup, he wasn't too impressed
@@adrianfaulkner1353 Hmm, this guy - Tony- must be blind. I get way more visible resolution out of my 24 Mpx A7iii (when applying Super Resolution)than my A7riv with no visible loss of image quality. Yes, the enhanced image has some sharpening applied to it. However not more than I would apply to a normal file in post.
Hi Chris!! Like you, I’m a wedding photographer and videographer, and I want a 35mm any advice?? I love your video because you’re very honest!
What about the 35mm f1.4 dg dn from sigma. how does that compare to the gm?
I can't decide between the 24mm + 50mm combo vs 35mm + 85mm... struggle is real
35 and 85 is what I use
... great lens, sold my Sigma 35 1.2 to buy the 35 1.4 GM.
The newer sigma 85 f1.4 is amazing and cheaper than the GM,my point being hopefully sigma will bring out a new 35 f1.4 and a 50 f1.4 (smaller like the 85) and cheaper than the GM versions....🤷🏼♂️🤞🏻
Do you need a 50mm and 35mm n your kit? And if you had to chose one which would it be? Figure I ask an expert. Thx
Need is a strong word, but if I had to choose I’d take 35 for sure, 100%
What was it you mentioned you edit with?
What grip u using in A1 ?
your presets very good and perfect on F1.2 1.4 1.8 ... but F4-4,5 I think no good :( Please teke video how need to editing if F is 4 or 5.6 ... If the F is bigger ., the presets dinamicrange is not good ., I think., please help me, this is wery important for me ., maybe for us.
Hey Chris. Is there an appreciable difference with CA from this GM to the 35/1.8?
Yeah for sure
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer thank you, last question. I've heard there is some focus breathing problems with this guy. Have you found it to be much of an issue in practice? We're talking about doing focus pulls for video using the AF. Thank you!!
Nah it’s fine man, nothing out of the ordinary.
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer thanks!
am about to sell my sigma 1.2 still not sure if the bokeh really matters... so i had to look into this video
still not sure
It doesn’t
I’m planning on adding the new 1.4 to replace the zeiss 35 my wife uses. The best 35 for Sony is still the 1.2 from Sigma. It’s my main wedding lens. Its optically astounding and focuses on the A9 like native glass. The only reason to get the 1.4 over the 1.2 is the size factor. That’s it.
What model Ford is that one 4WD vehicle? It doesn't look like one we get in North America.
Nah you don’t get it there it’s a Ford Everest. Basically a ranger but even more badass haha this one is the twin turbo diesel
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer looks like an awesome unit, I'd love to have one here. I have an f150 and the diesel option wasn't very attractive from a cost or power perspective so I went with the 5L V8.
@@MrCodyswanson yeah fuel is WAY more expensive here in NZ otherwise I’d have one too lol
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer it's definitely not as cheap in Alberta as it is in the US but it's probably cheaper than what you have to pay in NZ. Im paying $1.20 CAD a liter right now for 87 octane. The truck has 135L tank, haha.
What about new sigma 35mm 1,4 DG DN lens?
Haven’t used it yet
I’m thinking of it!! Also Sigma 85mm DG DN 😊
i was testing 24gm in crop vs 35mm 1.8 and the gm is better so there is no point in having both lenses. I sold the 35mm 1.8
The aperture doesn’t change at all. Only the look of the background.
Can't open the .arw file in Lightroom CC???
Update it
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer There are no updates. I'm using v10.1 Lr CC / v13.1 Cam Raw
@@davidzero7024 dunno then, everyone else seems to be ok, possibly something to do with your installation
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographerIt works - I managed to update it to 10.2 by "installing" LrC in Creative Cloud even though it was already installed and no updates were mentioned.
Still waiting for mine. Like wtf sony?
Geez, just user a zoom lens buddie LOL.
Why?
Why own too many redundants same focal length lenses? Waste of money to spend on. Unless you're Sponsor by Sony. All you need to one lens to do the work.
you talk a lot but dont say anything
Perhaps you hear a lot but don't listen.
This is a pretty big key to your inability to listen correctly.
I love my subscribers 😂
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer Chris I'm going down the rabbit hole of 24gm vs 35 gmvs 24gm /crop. You're the only person who makes these comparison videos. Thank you dearly for this.
