Chris, I’ve had that 24mm on my list since it was released but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. I had already committed to the Laowa 24mm f14 Macro Probe lens which I have now, but haven’t had a chance to use it. But that 24mm 1.4 is a sweet lens. I have the zooms I want and the 85mm f1.8. But that 24mm 1.4 is beautiful. I’m only buying 1.4 lenses to finish off my kit. Other than (maybe) the 55mm 1.8 but I can’t justify a 55mm when I have an 85mm. I’d rather get a fast 40mm... but I could make myself crazy thinking about it. I have an old 1.4 50mm manual lens that gets me by if needed. I’m also facing the possible leap to the Ninja V because I have a 2 day (all day) shoot that would be much nicer to capture straight to an SSD rather than changing SD cards and needing to restart the camera every 29 minutes. That decision will kill the 1.4 24mm for a while. Anyway, great video and I love that buttery background! I’m sold! It’s funny seeing Peterborough landmarks on KZfaq when I actually live here. Keep up the great (and consistent) work! Cheers

@chrisbrockhurst 5 жыл бұрын

That new ninja looks very nice, have been tempted with it too but I know I won’t use it enough. I agree with your point about 55 and 85. I barely use my 85 now. Lots more Peterborough landmarks to come haha

Chris, I've switched to the A7Riii from the 6500 and I still have the Sigma 16mm and 16 -35 art APC lenses. I'm beginning to think that I should be looking into this and maybe the Gmaster 16 -35 does that make sense?

@chrisbrockhurst 5 жыл бұрын

Absolutely, gunna cost you a bit up front but having full frame lenses on a full frame body makes sense.. more so for photo. You then have the ability to use full frame and crop. Look at the 16-35 F4, honestly no need for the GM of that

@pepitoaus 5 жыл бұрын

Hey Chris, I was hoping you could help me with a dilemma I am having atm, I’m not sure if I should get the 7iii or 7riii? For a long time I’ve had my eyes on the 7riii but lately the 7iii sounds like a good option and use the extra money to spend it on a good lens. I need an hybrid camera with no compromise on photography. However coming from the Nikon D800 I have never had any real use for the 36MP. So I don’t really need the 42MB for massive prints but I’m not sure if 24MB is enough to allow minor cropping, particularly for videos when using the crop mode, does it compromises the 4K? Would appreciate your experience :)

@chrisbrockhurst 5 жыл бұрын

Sounds like the A7iii will do you completely fine. I still crop a ton with both 4K video and 24mp. Hope that helps!!

@LaraPixels 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Chris! The thing with the 24 is that is not wide enough for establishing shots or vlogging, but is also not close enough for portraits. It kind of falls in the middle (at least for me!). Also any thoughs about the new announced tamron 17-28mm f2.8? It checks a lot of boxes for me: - Vlogging. - Fast (but not as much as 1.4 ofc, but i can do with that). - Light for gimbal work. ¿Do you think this lens can be a replacement of a 16-35 + a prime lens in only 1 lens and also a lot cheaper?

@chrisbrockhurst 5 жыл бұрын

Yeh it’s a strange one, not everyone will like that focal length. For me I love it though! The 17-28 could be potentially huge, even more so than the 28-75.. looking forward to trying it

Hey Chris, Yes agree 100% with your review. I did massive research before deciding to go with the 24GM. I do astro mainly but it sits on my a7iii 95% of the time. No regrets at all, it is a beast. Low light matters to me and if you think it works well on the a7iii for astro, if you can manage to get your hands on an original a7s ( I own one) then try it on the a7s and be amazed. Best purchase lens I have ever made by far. A close second is the Sigma 16 f/1.4 apsc, both amazing lenses IMO.

I just switched to Sony and bought the a7iii with the 24mm 1.4 GM because it’s my favorite focal length and for the price in this category I think it’s a no brainer. Now I am hesitating between the Sonnar T 55mm 1.8 or the 85mm 1.8 for my second lens. Which one should I get considering I have the 24mm? I want versatility but also shoot portrait...

@senorfrog5605 5 жыл бұрын

personally i love the 85 1.8 for price to performance, but if you're the type for whom money is no object, get whichever you like :P

@hugol81 5 жыл бұрын

senor frog I went for the 85, I’ll get the 55 in a couple of months. I think the 85 better suits my needs for now.

I need to know. Does your copy of this lens make any noise when focusing in single auto mode? When my copy of the lens is set to any aperture greater than 3.2 and in single autofocus mode it makes a slight grinding noise. This noise increases the smaller the aperture. I ordered a second copy with the intention of returning the first and the second does the same thing!! Does your copy do this? When the aperture opens to 1.4 to focus then stops back down that’s when the noise is created.

I haven’t noticed it, but doesn’t mean it doesn’t do it!

@27777BigRedBarn 5 жыл бұрын

Chris Brockhurst can you let me know if you notice it making any sort of grinding noise when in single auto focus mode? Set your aperture to f11 or more and let it acquire focus. The opening and closing of the aperture is when the noise occurs.

Great video. Just bought the 25mm Batis and about to exchange for this. It's sold out everywhere but was able to find used by luck for $1300. Good decision?

Chris Brockhurst someone might have returned to Amazon. I literally checked 5 or 6 times for availability at a few stores including BH Photo, Adorama, Amazon and none were available and then all of a sudden there was one available on Amazon used for $1300. Good thing about Amazon is if there’s something wrong with it, I can always return.

Hey Chris. Nice intro but probably took you a while? Wonder if it’s worth doing that each episode for each product? I’m guessing not. As for Vlogging with this 1.4. I’m thinking no. Especially at 1.4 since it’s so shallow you can go in and out of focus. To get the proper exposure outdoors you probably crank down the f to 4 anyway. So paying big for a fast lens probably isn’t worth it. Plus no stabilization? 👎. The hand held was bouncy. The footage on the gimbal looked great but do you want to put it on a gimbal each time you want to make a quick Vlog comment? No. Anyway keep up the great work.
