      No thank you I do not like 50mm lenses, 45mm and shorter are ok, 55mm and longer are ok. Back in the 70´80´and 90´a 50mm was only a cheap kit lens that was parked back down in a dark corner and never used, I do not see all the modern fuss about the 50mm lens, stop it. But if you can get your hand on a Voigtländer Macro Apo-Lanthar 65mm 2.0 it will be very awsome :D

    I bought the Sony A7III in 2019 with the 24-105 G F/4.0 lens. After a year of using that I was really noticing that most of my shots where at 24 mm or 105mm. I sold the lens and bought the 24 mm Gmaster F/1.4 and the 85mm F/1.8 from Sony. Best decision ever but to be honest, I hardly put the 85mm on. Once you get used to the 24mm on a Full Frame camera it becomes a second nature to take a closer step for portraits. Foodshots with the creamy Bokeh are amazing aswell :D. Ooh and BTW, your videos are amzing, keep them up! You are my GO to channel why I decided to go with Sony.

    The 24mm GM did pair up very nicely with my both 50mm f1.4/55mm f1.8 for cosplay events. As the 24mm did allow some nice wide shoots and the 55mm did a solid job for portraits. I also paired those 2 for Italy. 24mm handled food. 50mm did a fair number of photos and portraits there also.

    You inspired me to buy a 24/1.4G and yep, it's a great lens. I really like its versatility and uniqueness. We all fed up with standart portraits on 85-135 mm lenses with completely blurred backgrounds. 24 mill gives a bit different portraits - shallow DOF and wide angle in one frame look different and eyes-capturing, we aren't used to this frames coz it's not standart. The background is blurred but due to a wide angle and bigger DOF (in contrast with 50, 85 and so on) you can show there's the subject at the moment and simultaneously isolate it from background. Oh, i really found my all-time-favored lens now!

    Hi Jason, such a great video. So helpful in our quest to find the perfect vlogging camera. What size lens would you suggest is best for vlogging? We know you said here 24mm isn't too bad. We are looking for the best for wide angle. I may have to save up more money between the camera itself and a lens $$$$$....LOL. But seeing your videos and picture taking, I know we want to go with a Sony this time. I think we also need a gimble for stability when vlogging. Our channel is little subscriber wise, but I still want our videos to be great quality, and right now our Canon just isnt cutting it wide angle wise and it's pretty poor quality in the dark on rides. I aspire to be the pro that you are.....hee hee. Of course my mom thinks I do pretty good.......but she has to say that!

    The problem is that I am feeling like it is missing something on my line up, something that I can take with me for some wildlife photography and everything else lol.
    Like a really good zoom lens that can cover a good amount of focal length.

    I use budget version of this samyang 24mm lol. It is really great lens. I was amazed what nice things I could do with it - 28 and 35 couldn't do that. And I agree 24 and then something dramatic as of 70 or 85 gives profesional look. I just made my video with 24 doing so macro shots and it became so much more profesionally looking. And yes tight spaces oh yeah XD my room is so compact and it deals with it superb. Also i think 24mm gives kinda closer perspective as our eyes - not exact but it gives those feels already: we usually see details as of 24mm: we come closer and the object becomes big and perspectived

      You’ll be better off getting 85mm 1.8. Better value compared to 1.4

    So what other benefits besides a lower aperture is there to a single zoom lens like FE 24mm F1.4 GM and FE 35 mm F1.4 GM vs the FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM? This one lens, I guess in theory, can do both in one lens, right? Clearly I am missing something and I am just really curious. I love the video, I have really learned a lot thanks to you and all your videos! Keep up the great work!

    Great video. So I look at it like this at weddings.... If the venue is amazing I use 35mm or 55mm a lot. If it’s ok I use 55mm mostly, if its a poor venue I use the 85mm mostly. Horses for courses. I have more recently stopped discounting zoom lenses. They are amazing as well. :-)

    I love to use my 24mm f/2 in a 24/50/105mm three-lens combo.
    However, my personal favorite three-lens combo is a 21/35/90mm combo.

    I shoot with the Lumix s5 and I have the sigma 85 1.4 and I love it, I'm hoping there's a Lmount 24mm coming out soon
