Sooo... 24mm VS 35mm VS Zoom Lens - Which would YOU prefer? My Japan Photo Kit: geni.us/WrwmgOT AI Sky Replacement: macphun.evyy.net/am6WW Sony 24mm f/1.4 G Master Amazon geni.us/T4Wok3h | BH geni.us/j1aP Sony FE 35mm f/1.8 Amazon geni.us/iQtGD | BH geni.us/tOSv8wr

24mm has a steeper learning curve but once you master it, it is a real story teller. It presents your subject in relation with his/her environment. I solely shoot street with 24mm

The Luminar sky replacements were awesome. I already wanted the 24 and now I want it even more! Thanks

I'm using Sigma 16mm F1.4 (24 mm equiv) on my A6000. Really like this lens and thanks to it's sharpness I can crop pictures to get a little bit of that 35mm feel without losing much quality

Now, that’s what I wanted to see for a very long time! Luminar is great! I switched to prime lenses recently and not going back to zooms. Super35 just crops though. It doesn’t have an effect of a 35mm lens.

loved this video Jason! you are super personable and this video was very entertaining as well as informative. The comparison with APSC was super helpful. Thank you!

I like the look of both, for different reasons. I think for making films, primes are the way to go, but for travel, street, stuff like that, it's good to have a great zoom, because you never know where you're gonna be, and what's going to happen, and so, I carry my 18-105 around most of the time on my Sony a6400, but for my film work, I use my primes. The only prime I always carry with me along with my 18-105 is my Samyang 12mm f2, in order to be able to get really wide shots if I need to. Also, it's so light, it's easy to carry, and I never found it hard to simply switch out lenses. Great video, as always, I always enjoy watching, and get tons of great insight. Much appreciated.

As always great video! I really would love to upgrade to the 24mm 1.4 gm but I honestly love my 25mm f2 batis so much. So my set up right now is the 25mm f2 batis for landscape , Sony zeiss 55mm 1.8 for street , and 85mm f1.8 zeiss batis for portraits. Pretty much set wouldnt you say so

Love my 24 GM. I even use it for portraits in street photography. Great vlog, Jason....

- again . . . a very nice, to-the-point review / comparison. Much appreciated . . . and keep 'em coming.

Great video! More informative than other ones i've seen, with practical examples.

Those colors in Japan! Great shots, Jason.

Hi Jason, great videos! Maybe you can do something similar but for which lenses are best for video.

After years of practicing photography I have found that 24 and 35mm are probably my most go to focal lengths, I have noticed that my shoots with clients tend to be more interactive since I have to get closer to my subjects for tighter shots. Definitely going to buy a 24mm GM Soon! That lens is so bad ass!

Love the 24mm focal length but I have the sigma and adapted it as I used to have canon. While traviling also take the 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8 ;). The 24 1.4 is awesome for landscapes/astro and most other things ;)

I love prime lenses. Today’s zooms have definitely improved and almost equal in sharpness but you can’t beat those wide 1.4 aputures.

With my couple of Batis lenses, 25 and 40, I cover 99% of all my photographic needs. Great video as always. 👍

Man, your videos are the best! Thanks!

I love your energy Jason! I too am a prime lens user. I dislike the 24mm focal length- I dont like the distortion or the background pushed far away, so 35 1.8 all the way. If i truly need 24mm I'd use my 24-70 f4. Just my 2 cents!

Dude! Incredible shots!

Thanks for the comparisons Jason! I was choosing between the Sigma 16mm (24mm eq.) & Viltrox 23mm (~35mm eq.) for APS-C but I'll probably go for the Sigma after watching this. Was having a hard time making portrait shots work really good with the 16mm but after seeing your shots here, I'm convinced it's more of a user error from my side. Plus, I'll be cropping my shots most of the time for Instagram and my 24mm APS-C shots from my zoom lens really look zoomed in after cropping

Thanks for the great video. I was wondering can you do a video about the GM 16-35mm F2.8 and how it compares to the ones you just reviewed.

I loved Disney Sea, so nice to see it in your video!

Really loved this video. I learned a lot. Think it’s going to be the 24mm for me. Thanks!!!

Thanks for helping short people like me. I really appreciate it.

So if you are going with a f2.8, will you get the same quality with a zoom f2.8 at the same focal length as the prime? I understand the wiggle room going to a wider aperture. I understand it’s doubling the price, and getting more range.

Always answering my most burning questions. Super35 was in my brain. Thanks for that! :D Oh! 24mm for sure!

Just picked up the 24 1.4 and it looks great but the aperture mechanism seems excessively noisy when moving from 1.4-1.8 or so (or if I'm in AF-S above f/2.8 since it opens up for focus). I measured it around 48 dB on my phone. I'm curious if you've noticed anything like that on your copy. Thanks!

I was working in Japan earlier this year and the 24GM almost never left my camera. I've had the lens since it came out, and it can do just about everything I need. Having said that, I still got a copy of the Sigma 35mm/1.2 because I do a lot of concert photography and I need the extra focal length when I'm up close. Those are some great shots you got here, man. I wish Shibuya Scramble was available when I was there.

Jason, I maybe going to Japan in late March. I’m looking @ both lenses. Would you buy in the US, or in Japan? Thanks

For years my set up included 24, 50 and 105mm, so the natural choice would be the 24mm. That being said I did pick up the Batis 85mm and love it.

Nice comparing video, i got the sony 35mm 1.8 lens and am really happy with it. Photos and videos. I love your ryu 35mm pic at parco shibuya is really nice !! Great job

Great video Jason! I’ve had the 24mm GM for a few months now and I absolutely love it. It’s almost the perfect travel photo/video lens - paired with an 85mm prime and you’re good to go 😁

very interesting comparison. for depth of field, do we see much difference between 1.4 and 1.8 ? are both good for fast eye detection and vieo AF ? what about sigma art DN ? i have a sigma 24, 35, 85 F/1.4 art on my d750 and they are amazing at 700-900 euros.

I'm excited to travel to Japan this April with the Tamron 24mm I LOVE it

I have the sigma 14-24 lens which is fantastic. But it’s huge and heavy I only plan to use it for traveling and landscapes. I really like the 24 GM and it will be great for street photography and night photography. But I am not sure if it’s worth it to get a new lens just for the two extra stops of light. Any suggestions? :)

I think if I were traveling, I would take the 24-70 gm master 2.8. If I were not traveling and I thought I’d be inside in a darkly lit area a lot, I would use the 24mm 1.4 or if I were doing astral photography. I feel like I’m losing too much with the 35mm, especially, as you mention, the ability to use the crop sensor on the A7r4

Exactly the video that I am looking for right now. GM 24 f1.4 vs 35 f1.8. Thanks buddy.

Damnn, some beautiful shots in there!

You da man jason! Your reviews are one of the reasons why i just purchased a Sony A6400. Thanks again

hi jason, I would like to ask if you would do a video on the Sony A7R with some of the latest lenses? will it be possible? like with the 85mm f1.8?

Photos are great! Thanks Jason

I already kind of know this focal range stuff, but had to watch cause your photos are always fantastic! Also, Vivian looked great! ...longer legs, lololol!

Thanks 4 your thoughts. Its difficult for me and i can not decide between both focallength.

Both! 😁 love the sky replacements 👌🏽

Hi Jason. My current line-up includes: 20mm 1.8 G, Zeiss 55, and the new 70-200 f4. Would you add the 35mm f/1.4 or the Tamron 28-75 G2 for travel purposes?

Wow dude, the sky replacement looks way better in your photos than the ones from other youtubers. The photos of your girl looks so damn good, too. Props bro!

I have the 24mm f1.8 S for the Nikon Z6 and it is honestly the best combination ever. Just as good if not better than my former combo: the Sony A6400 and the Sigma 16mm. I have tried 35mm but I could never get into it.

Great video as always, some thoughts: Any reason why theres no mention of the samyang/rokinon 24mm/35mm alternatives? They are only 2.8 lenses but price and form factor is great. Both these lenses are quite small and one thing thats great for travel is the light weight. Apart from that I think 24mm is just not great for any sort of potrait, the focal length really deforms the facial features. The price and size of that 24mm gmaster is almost as much as the Sony FE 16-35mm f4, insane! Looking forward to the tamron releases.

@3.08 to @3.20 Where is that! That looks beautiful, i am visiting Japan this Summer and need to see that!

Hey Jason can you help me figure this out: Which lens in your opinion is better on a Sony a7iii: Sony E PZ 18-105 mm F4 G OSS VS Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 (For Video) Which lens in your opinion is better on a Sony a7iii: Sony E PZ 18-105 mm F4 G OSS VS Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 (For Photography) The reason I ask this way is because I heard crop lens are actually better for video on the a7iii! So my guess is that the Sony 18-105 may be better for sony a7iii for video but the Tamron 28-75 is better for photography on a sony a7iii. Can anyone confirm or deny this? If the Tamron 28-75 is better on a sony a7iii for video & photography, it will make me sell my Sony 18mm-105 lens (unless I should keep that for my sony 6300). Any help would be extremely appreciated! Thanks

Such great and classic focal lengths. The 35 has long been considered by many photographers as the true “normal” lens, not necessarily the 50. Decades of stunning Nat Geo images have been captured by photographers with a couple Leica bodies, a 21 and a 35 and a 90, all in a small bag. Primes are fantastic.

What a nice holiday in Japan. I favor the 35mm lens. A good review. Awesome.

Did you noticed the difference of not having the nano coating on the 35mm? Thanks

I have been using 28mm prime for some time but it is limiting. Especially for landscape where you cannot zoom with your feet. These days, I prefer to go with 24-105G or 24-70GM for travel landscape!

ok if I own 24 and 85, what should i take in between? 35, 50 or some kind of light f/4 zoom? any thoughts guys?

Really nice comparison. I went from M4/3 17mm and 45mm to Sony FF, really loving the 85mm but can't decide whether to go 24mm or 35mm for second lens.

24MM all the way!!!! Fell in love with it, i sold it to try a 35 properly, but I linger on that 24mm elongated style and edgy feel it gives!!

Amazing composition!

I really enjoy using the Tamron 35mm f2.8 on my A7ii,It beat my Zeiss hands down for getting in really close to still subjects.Focus hunting is not a problem that's all down to operator error. I enjoyed your video and its nice to accept your open view on lenses tested.

Would you consider the 24mm and 35mm good for vehicle interior shots?

Nice video as usual! I allways have problems to decide which prime to use, so therefore I pick the lightweight but older 28/2 on a Sony 7C, or if on a longer trip Tamron 20-40. I also use Luminar 4 and I think the possibility to change the sky is great. Perhaps not on some sort of documentary photos but all the rest, if needed.

This is the video I needed! I've been eyeballing the Sigma 16mm for my a6000

Hi Jason what will be the best lens for my A6600 for travel, landscape and scenery photography? Pls and thank you!

I have the 24mm and LOVE it!!! It is an incredible lens!!! I recently visited family and took two lenses, the 24 being one. I did a family photo shoot with it..worked out awesome! I purchased it for mostly ASTROphotograpy but have discovered its use goes beyond that..I pair it with the SonyA7lll which is a great match..Thanks,Jason..your videos and your work are awesome!!!

Thanks for the video. I own and use a 24mm f/2 lens and a 35mm f/1.4 lens for my 35mm film SLR. I also own and use a 16mm f/1.4 and a 23mm f/1.4 lens for my APS-C digital mirrorless. I have used the 24mm and the 35mm for landscape, travel, and street. For a one-lens/one-body situation, I have used both, but I prefer the 35 because the 24 is too wide for my taste as a stand-alone lens. For landscape, travel, and street, I prefer to pair the 35mm with an 85mm or a 90mm. For landscape, travel, and street, I prefer to pair the 24mm with a 45mm or a 50mm normal lens. For landscapes, I have used both, but I would rather use a 28mm. For travel, I would prefer to pair the 24 with a 45mm or a 50mm normal lens. For travel, my personal preference is a 35mm flanked by 21mm and 90mm lenses. For street, my personal preference is a 35mm f/2 or 35mm f/1.4 lens. The one zoom that I own that has the 24 and 35mm focal lengths is the 20-35mm f/2.8. The one APS-C zoom that I own that has the 16 and 23mm focal lengths is the 16-55mm f/2.8. I use both zooms a back-up to my prime lenses.

I have 24mm GM which is also 36mm in crope mode and Sony a7m3 and I am very happy. Just curious about the new Sony A7s3.

What's up my brother! I got a question for you. I have the @6000 with the 35mm lense. Recently just purchased the a7ii. I want to get the 85mm 1.8 but since I have a portrait lense do you think I'm wasting money? Currently have the a6000 with 35mm, sigma50mm and 12mm Rokinon. A7ii just the kit lense. Your videos are hilarious. Keep sharing!

I have 24, 28, and 35mm lenses. For travel, I prefer the 35mm. For street, I prefer the 35mm. For landscapes, I prefer the 28mm. When I have enough light, I prefer a 24-70mm zoom. When I need to shoot under low-light conditions, I prefer my 24mm f/2, 28mm f/2, and 35mm f/1.4 prime lenses.

Both are actually good choices, but I think 24 mm win for that longer legs ability. What do you think about the price drop for Canon EOS R?

I am sold right when you said that my wife will look slimmer in 24mm.

What about Sigma 28mm 1.4 DG ? should that focal length be the sweet spot? How good is this lens?

Which 16mm lens for the APS-C camera are you talking about?

Hi Jason, love your video! Just a question / comment about using the a7iii in crop mode. You stated that 10 MP is tight for a typical user, but isn't 10MP sufficient for most social media posts? I did some research and found that only about 8MP is necessary for 8x10 portraits. What do you think?

would you prefer to have both? if money isn't an issue. i like both :) and own the 24

Great content 💪🏽

so whats the best lens for video? i have a sony a7iv. Not sure which to go with, 24mm gm or 35 mm gm

Very happy with my Sigma art 24-35mm f2 😍

Hi ! Beautiful review I've always seen your videos and if I can ask you a question I am undecided between the 35mm 1.8 from Sony and the Sigma 1.2 I'd like to know your advice Thanks

@Jason Vong My favorite lens to shoot on my A7RIII is currently my 16-35 GM lens but both of these lenses are on my radar. I've been putting off getting the 55 f/1.8 for far too long as well. I am a hobbiest and I shoot mostly photos of my family and travel photos (landscape and street are really what I enjoy most aside from family). I'm thinking the 35 f/1.8 may be the sweet spot for a super fast and lightweight prime for walking around with and if I want or need to go wider I have the 16-35 GM and a 28 f/2.8. What are your thoughts on my logic? I'd love to buy them all, but just cant.

hi, I'm confused decided 24mm Vs. 35mm GM, Help me to choose one of them. I want wide angle but I don't really like distortion, due to I'm not a professional photograpgher I want advanced lens and has good autofocus. help me to choose :)

That luminar is sick bro!

The new 35 1.4 GM is awesome. My favorite focal lens.

what do you guys think about the sigma 35mm 1.2 vs this 24mm GM?

Great review and photos. Tokyo is awesome.

question. is there an advantage to owning both?

Wow, really amazing pictures! especially 3:06, 3:11 and 3:17 🤩🤩🤩

24 and 55 is the best lest for traveling (at least for me) well u can have 35 by using apsc format on

Have the 24 and its amazing

Please compare the image quality of 24GM on a6xxx vs 35mm on FF.

Thanks! I like the photos from the 24mm.

Which one is great for videos

It's always a joy to see your travel photography videos. For stills, I'd prefer either a Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8 or a Nikkor 24-120mm f/4 VR as the travel lens for the versatility it offers.

I like both focal lengths but I think if you’re stuck with one focal length the 35mm is your most versatile. 24mm is a little wide.

CoCo Inchibanya!!! One of the best restaurants I’ve ever eaten at 😅

I’m so torn between the 24mm f1.4 GM and the 16-35mm f2.8 GM. I love landscape shots but I also love the look of a 35mm. I want a good all around lens for vlogging and just run n gun type shooting. Any recommendations?

Hi Jason, thanks a lot for this video. One question tho, is the 16-35 GM good enough to replace this two lenses? I shoot mainly landscapes, environmental portraits and a bit of street photography while traveling. I have an 85mm to shoot portraits. I prefer to have the prime lenses for their compactness and sharpness. But switching between lenses is troublesome and prime lenses sometimes doesn't offer the versatility a zoom lens would. Really stuck between choosing 24GM, 35 GM and 16-35 GM. I would really appreciate if you help me decide. Thanks in advance.

Can you do Clear image Zoom with these cameras or lenses? On a6400 paired with 16mm sigma does the trick for the most part.

I just can’t decide on the new 35gm or the 24gm. The struggle is real.

Beautiful pictures. Tastefull video!
