Chris is so great on camera. I always feel like we're sitting down face to face and chatting about the equipment. Really like the shooting style.

Always a pleasure to see you fine fellows...

Stellar content as always from Chris and Jordan. Thanks DPReview!

You guys are the best! Thank you for the review.

I like your video reviews and it's like small movie with nice photos, video footages and sharp music))

This is SO SO good! Chris and Jordan are ALWAYS killin it!

Really like the intro! Jordan's cheerful "still rolling" after the exchange of pleasantries gave me a good laugh :-)

"I like nice Jared better... go back to pretending to be somebody you're not." You tell him, Chris!

Love that intro :D Great review! The 24 1.4 GM looks like a winner for sure!

That intro was awesome haha. Great video guys

great lens! Thank you for this nice video

An easy-to-understand video! It will be helpful!

Seattle, Maui, SF... It must be nice 😊. Seriously, great job guys.

Awesome video, thanks!

Wow I love the colors of the video on the shores, that's straight out of camera? If not that's beautiful color grading for sure, keep up the good work guys 👍

Thanks for this ;) A handful of really great shots & clips . I specially liked the sunset bridge shot, with the birds, followed by Jordan's low angle when u guys were just passing under the bridge. Congrats! I've got this covered with my Fuji 16mm f1.4.. but it is always great to watch you guys.. I'll wait for your reviews of tele primes over 85mm for the Sony. PS: don't you guys find the 85mm f1.8 Sony to being pretty slow in AF? PSS: another really cool thing I like about all of this review Thing..is the comradery and the sense of community amongst yourselves. It is one of the main reasons why I'm planning to making my own channel, too.

Loved those close up forest shots. Beautiful fall off and close focusing capability. Would be a killer comparison video with the legendary Fuji 16 1.4. That lens is meant to be made of magic...Maybe this lens compared to it can show once and for all, if this is the case.

Nice video guys!

Cool review

Great video, I also like the sharpness and color from the video. Do you guys remember which Sony picture profile you used to shoot this?

"STILL ROLLING" earned my sub...lol!

Chris, thank you and thank DP Review for turning me onto this lens--it is now my "go to" lens. I had been using a Leica 21 SEM but found it too wide for everyday shooting & a little slow (f/3.4). The $6500 Summilux wasn't really an option as it's stupid expensive, hard to find new & Leica M-11's/Q2's still have no IBIS....

Man, all these vloggers get all the fun with the latest stuff.

Nice hanging out with you guys!

Color grading was cool on this episode.

The video looks so much better and sharper than usual. For travel and cost I wonder how the 24 1.4 with A7iii compares with Sigma 16 1.4 with A6500.

Guys, what lens and camera was used to shoot the morning after the test with the Sony 24 GM? Thanks for the info.

That intro wins haha

great video - i am the owner of a Sony A7iii and i'm deciding between one lens that is lightweight, versatile for travel, landscape and street photography, would the Sony 24mm, 35mm or 50mm be best suited? Cheers

How would it compare to the zeiss batis though?

Hey Chris, could you please review the Pentax 50mm f1.4*. Thanks.

"I like nice Jared better, go back to pretending to be somebody you're not" Mr. Niccolls you made my day!! LOL...can I print that on a t shirt?

Great video! Do you know how to fix focus pulsing ... from f4 up using a Sony a7III in video mode AF-C? Thank you!

Amazing video guys!

Great video! Price isn’t that bad considering it’s a GMaster lens. I found it funny that (at least for me) a Canon EOS R ad played before the video

Gorgeous Gordon 📷📷📷 think he's become the new Lok!

Thanks, guys for another great video!!! Is the new Sony 24mm F1.4 G-Master a lens that blows away the Sigma 24mm F1.4 Art in regards of image quality and performance (I guess the Sony is weather sealed at some level?) - I don't know, I love my trusty Sigma 24mm 1.4 Art for Canon EF-Mount and I love the flexibility it gives me in comparison to a native Sony G-Master lens. I can use this lens on my Canon DSLRs (full frame and/or APS-C), can adapt it to an EOS R and use it with an adapter even on a Sony A7. On top of that, it has hard stops at both ends of the focus range. I would love to see some kind of possibility to adapt more off-brand glass to different camera bodies (like a Sony to Canon-EF or EF-R mount etc.)...But I think that's the nature of the beast with camera brands are interested in selling lenses for their own eco-system...

Nice Hands-On, I like what you guys said. I like the bokeh of this lens. The Price of 1399.- USD I think is fair for what you get

Great video as usual with the dynamic duo, but that opening shot needed a bounce for that shadow across your face man. Just very distracting. Good info as usual. Keep up the good work.

I arrive san Francisco tomorrow. Good news it s sunny .

Chris & Jordan, how good is this new Sony 24mm in keeping dust and hairs out f the Sony sensors during your ultra windy shoots?

I think Sony is finally listening to the feedbacks about their lenses costing a lot more and are too big and heavy for mirrorless cameras. I the last lens they released, the 100 to 400 mm, is lighter than the competition. Perhaps in due time they will release mk 2 of the heavier GM lenses? I think this lens is overall perfect, except for the sun flares, which is uncalled for for something thos expensive. Otherwise, I really love the sample images, the bokeh and the depth of field and the sharpness. I find that, zoom lenses, even good ones can have a bit of vignetting on the wide end, and this one, being a prime, obvious does not. The minimum focus distance looks good, too. It's just a beautiful, near perfect lens, and it's even great for videos, with the linear focus ring and the declickable aperture ring, that focus pull Jordan did looked really beautiful! Hes a real pro! Say, he mentioned he wanted a RX10 with 24-200 mm zoom. Isnt that the RX100 vi (minus the mic jack?). How does he feel about that? Sigma art might be cheaper but I feel that they are built for Canon cameras, first and foremost. It's not just that Sony variations merely got a MC11 adapter built in, but I think the sharpness is affected, as well. I saw Christopher Frost on KZfaq testing the Sigma Art 105 mm f1.4, and the images were sharper at the corners when mounted on a Canon 6D than on the Sony A7riii, so I'm expecting similar results all across the board, as well. And I dont think the MC11 adapter works as well as the native Sony lenses, as well, so when using Sigma on a Sony, these could be the concessions you'll have to make. If the Sony mount Sigma lenses perform the same as Canon mount + MC11, then buying the latter combination is probably the better choice, adding flexibility and possibly resale value (more buyers with more sellers in the Canon market vs less supplies and maybe less buyers, not sure how the price will be affected, actually, nor whether which one would be easier to sell, actually, come to think of it), but at least it'll easily work on both camera systems without compromising performance, comparing to the native Sony mount. So if Sigma really wants to do Sony right they should recalibrate their lenses and do better than a MC11 adapter fix. Otherwise, consumers will feel that they are paying the same money for inferior products, in terms of sharpness and autofocus. And speaking of the 105 mm f1.4, it's an amazing lens, so beautiful for portraits that Sony has no answer for. The 100 mm GM STF is sort of an awkward lens that makes no sense. Poor low light performance, bokeh looks like that of a slower lens, unless shooting in the exact scenario that it's designed for. The built in extension tube is coll, I wish more lenses would do that and make them dual purposed, rather than making us buy more lenses, which is not just about the money, but the extra weight and stuff to lug around. It's just a weird lens, though, regardless, and Sony should make a 105 mm f1.4 GM, with macro mode (yeah right, they only added the macro mode on the other one because they know it sucks and want to add bells and whistles to help sell lol). Hey, I really enjoy your videos, that's why i wrote so much, to hopefully encourage you to keep going strong! I feel that you and Jordan really know your stuff and I can trust your opinions. God bless!

im wondering how wil be the Zeis Batis 40mm F2. or shel i buy Zeiss 35mm f1.4

Can we talk about how awesome 24mm in full frame 4k video looks?

If you do a comparison video - could you also throw the SLR Magic 25mm 1.4 in the mix? It's manual, but probably the closest thing to the GM (13 blade iris for example) - Jordan should also love it: proper manual focus and follow focus gears! :)

Could you please tell me the len body was build by metal of plastis? thanks.

Chris, what is your opinion of the 24 in crop mode ( quality, bokeh, ) vs a Sony 35 1.8? Thanks, FW

The only reason why I considered for a sec was for astro, but like you pointed it out, I like my 14mm prime lenses because they are wider although I bet they are way heavier than this lens (probably way heavier than the Rokinon 14mm F/2.8). Since I don’t do travel nor street photography, I guess I’ll pass it up. Thanks for the review.

Should be your standard lens in the future for video works. Looks fantastic.

I'd be awesome to see a comparison between this lens, the 16-35 f/2.8, and the Batis 25.

how about the focus speed?

As a wide angle can I shoot venues with this and landscapes?

What are your thoughts: does this lens do landscapes (Say Mount Kilimanjaro - Post-COVID) to people to indoors - is it versatile, you mentioned it is a good travel lens, so it got me hopeful

Sometimes, I really don't get your settings... F10 1/250th iso12800.. ?? Why, tell my why ! lol

If the a73 had a flip out screen this would have been a top of the line vlogging setup.

what lens you shoot first minute of this video ??

Does this 24mm GM best the Sony 16-35 GM at 24mm?

I decided to return the Batis 25mm f/2 that I had just purchased before the announcement of this lens. I'm still fairly new to photography and filmmaking and I will be doing a bit of traveling over the coming months so I need a super solid wide lens that is also very fast since I very much enjoy being able to shoot indoors and outdoors, night and day. Unfortunately, I didn't have many chances to use the Batis 25 before this lens was announced and I decided to exchange it for the 24GM but I know the Batis is a great lens. It's actually smaller and lighter than this GM but at the end of the day, the GM is a whole stop faster and has the added benefit of the custom function button and the de-clickable aperture control which provide much more functionality to me than the OLED display on the Batis. Also, the GM is only $100 more than the Batis so I had to at least give it a try. If I receive mine and I just really don't like it very much, I can return it and buy another Batis. As for the Sigma lenses, when I had my a6500, I LOVED my Sigma 16mm and my 30mm but when it comes to their full frame E mount offerings, they're just too big and bulky in my opinion. The size and weight savings, for me, is worth the increase in price.

Is it me or has Sony color improved dramatically? Was there much grading in post? The whole video seemed to have a filmic look to it, and the stills looked very pleasing too.

Would you say it is smaller and lighter than the Olympus 12mm f2? :D

Great video guys

Bravo, Calgarians... solid one-day review, bruh's...

Hi Chris & Jordan. I've enjoyed your refreshing & informative videos for many years & have followed you here from The Camera Store TV KZfaq channel I am asking you, and anyone else on this channel, for advice & information regarding the Sony a7iii. Background information on my situation: I am an enthusiast photographer with no intention of being paid for my work. My photograph activities are travel, recording family events, street, and portraits. I only shoot RAW. I am upgrading from a Lumix GM5. I would like to purchase the GM 24mm 1.4f lens along with the a7iii. I find the 24mm range too wide for most outdoor purposes but very good for indoor photos. The Sony crop feature addresses my focal l focal length ‘dilemma’ perfectly.However I have some concerns. Questions: 1) Without doing a side by side comparison between the Sony a7iii & a7Riii cameras, would you notice the reduced resolution using crop feature on the a7iii in printed pics (no larger than 8.5 x 11)? 2) With the latest firmware updates to both cameras, aside from the reduced AF screen coverage on the 7Riii, is there anything that is I would be missing to satisfy by photo activities by choosing the 7R over the 7? 3) is there a noticeable degradation in the processing speed of a 2019 Apple MacBook Pro (i7) with which these larger RAW files are processed using Luminar? Thank you in advance for your answers. Morrie

A lot of ppl are using this lens for wedding photography. But when exactly would I need to use it?

I would appreciate if you mention the name of the songs in the description. I liked the jazz part and I wanted to know what song was that. I found it with Shazam. It is Alto Leaps. Thank you for the video.

Pls compare this with batis 25!!!

How does this lens compare to the XF 16 1.4, it's equivalent to a 24 but that's on a 1.5 crop🤔 if you have tested the Xf16 1.4 you know it's a quite amazing little lens 😊🤗

I wish Sigma would make lenses specifically for full frame E-mount, instead of glueing on a long adapter to their existing lenses. This Sony looks really good though.. now I want one for my a7iii.

Just wondering why i feel not comfort with the color for expensive lense like this?

Shouldn't the Batis 25 f2 also be considered a competitor?

The lens looks super light and promising no doubt. Now its time to give us a 50m prime 1.2/14 and 34m 1.4 =D

A nice lens for the a6500 also. An 35mm fov equivalent.

Chris you should do a ping pong review with Gordon that will be epic!

How much is the lens? Cant find a price for it?

Why Sony doesn't give us a small compact 35mm 1.8 G lens??

I wish you guys shot it wide open most of the time and honestly way too many black and white. Need to show it s color rendering maybe Ill wait to get one in my hands.

But why would you bring this instead of a 24-70?

How fast and noisy is the AF?

Interesting trend. The new telescopic G-Masters were also (comparatively) light-weight. This seems to be Sony's new thing. Wonder if they will re-visit their prior heavier designs?

Honestly if I am taking shots inside Churches and cathedrals then that 1.4 doesn't really matter as I am mostly taking pictures in 4 to 5.6. I would take the 16-35 f4. I think that gives the extra flexibility.

Wait, I really want to know, is the lens light and compact? You never mentioned that 😉😆

"Still rolling!" :)

That moment you want to push Jared Polin over the fence.... Eyes were never so readable. Thanks for the excellent review though, despite all the challenges and adversaries. I wonder if you guys had time left to make it up a bit higher in the Muir Woods, as that's where surroundings (and images) become increasingly more interesting. That being said, after Maui (I just came back myself), it's all relative anyway...

Welcome to San Francisco and I hope enjoyed your stay. Thank goodness you didn't come next week as Salesforce is taking over the city with Dreamforce.

My favorites lens when I’m using Canon.

Size/weight vs cost seems to be a big divide between Sigma Art and Sony in general. Both of their 24-105 lenses immediately come to mind. I got a sweet deal on the Art, and it's a great lens, but it is a bitch to carry around. Anyway, thanks for the quick review. It'll be interesting to see the full reviews in time, especially regarding coma performance.

Why are you shooting at such high shutter speeds and iso for stationary subjects?

Afro knows photooooo I see Sony sent you and Jared out to do the same video for the same lens!

I was thinking of replacing my Sony 35mm F1.4 for this lens. I shoot events & portraits

Is astrophotography possible on sony cameras? I've heard they have a starkiller feature and their automatic noise reduction is eating all the stars on long exposure.

I agree, they should have done a wider proposition : 20mm for example. The Sigma Art 14mm f1.8 is great and I like it, but is too bulky and still has no competition... :/

I see Chris, I hit like. Simple.

The SteadyShot technology for full frame e-mount lenses isn't necessary at all. Ten full frame e-mount cameras have been introduced and only the first two without sensor stabilization. The Sony α7R was discontinued long ago and the α7 of 2003 is very old but still in production with a very impressive low price. I doubt that the production of Sony α7 will continue for more than two years. Usually cameras don't survive in the market as new for more than seven years. However Sony isn't so interested with the sensor stabilization inside he APS-C e-mount cameras. Only the expensive α6500 and the recent α6600 have sensor stabilization and both have similar price of full frame e-mount cameras.

24mm f1.4 is the best focal for Astro per star rating! Very little Coma and CA 👍🏻

Can it run Crysis?

My kind of lens

The 24mm 1.4 GM and The 135mm 1.8 GM are GREAT lenses !!! So Sony keep those GM primes lenses comming... Wish for 55mm GM, 300 4.0 GM 400 4.5 GM and more... oh yeah and a macro GM without stabilizer !

WoW. Jared got destroyed.

Batis 25/2 ?

I don't get it! Who said that at the beginning?
