Manny, you have come a long way over the years. There was a time where you, along with most of us, would have fallen in love with any new G-Master lens and immediately recommended it as a must have. Now that the Sony ecosystem has evolved, you have a much more practical viewpoint towards their gear. It’s much appreciated.

I would love a Tamron 17-28 G2. The 67mm filter is a huge win for me

@kanaheiusagi 10 ай бұрын

Really appreciate your honesty and comparison to existing competition. No doubt the 16-35GM2 is the best lens of its class, but its not a necessary lens.

I just use my Tamron 20-40 f2.8 by Tamron. I was fine giving up the extra wide for some extra 35-40 range! I’m still able to Vlog with it but can do more everyday things with it.

If compare with 17-28 thats 12mm extra reach at 40. I am using 20-40 too, 17-28 feels like just gonna use it for very specific purpose shoot, hard to make use of it for day to day walk-around lens.

I'll be going with the 16-35mm GM II.

@PhotoTrekr 7 ай бұрын

FWIW, I changed my mind and returned the 16-35 GM II. Marginally shorter and lighter than the original. Costs a lot. It is usable at 35mm which the original wasn't. But, I rarely shoot wider than 24mm which my 24-70 GM II covers. So, I ended up buying the 20mm G, again, which is an excellent lens. If I do find that I want to shoot even wider, I'll probably buy the 14mm GM, again, which is also excellent.

@firpofutbol 6 ай бұрын

The Tamron has internal zoom which might make it better for video than Sony if using a gimbal. Plus it's 25% lighter. The Sigma I've seen other reviewsputs out a nice image, sharp with good contrast but has issues with vignetting if using a step up ring with your ND at 16mm making it kinda pointless to have the extra 1mm over Tamron when you can't use it. Also the bokeh is much nicer from Sony and Tamron IMO. Considering the price I'm going Tamron.

My Sony 16-35mm F/2.8 GM II arrived in the mail just now. As someone who has handled it, can you tell me if the barrel is supposed to be loose inside? Lens works well, but when you turn it over, the insides literally feel like they're slamming back and forth. I've never had a lens do that. Normal? Thanks!!

Love your videos Manny, but you didnt compare to the 16-35 F4 PZ! That lens is almost identical except that it is lighter, much cheaper and has internal power zoom, though obviously F4 vs F2.8. But for less than the price of the new GM II, you can also get the 24 1.4 GM lens, which is obviously way better in low light and has a more dramatic difference compared to F4

@gilcarag274 9 ай бұрын

Or even the 20mm G 1.8 which is extremely good value and very very sharp. Wider, lighter, smaller. Should probably be a GM lens and not a G.

I have the 16-35 PZ F4 with the ZVE1. It’s a good lense how ever at night time you do need to bump up the iso. It’s not the best for night.

@cedricphoo 10 ай бұрын

@@salahuddinmahmood1452 ZVE1 has a great low light performance, with second base ISO of 12,800. So in the night time, 16mm F4 with ISO 25,600 and above, is it acceptable? Also what do you think about the weight of your combo? thanks a lot!

@salahuddinmahmood1452 10 ай бұрын

Zve1 has amazing low light. This is my first camera and lense ever. Saw lots of reviews online for both. F4 does limit light at night and the background blur (you do have background defocus in the ZVE1 to compensate for that). I am not sure what ISO I tried it in but it was pretty decent. Weight wise like I said I have nothing to compare it against but it’s very easy to carry around (vlog style included).

If you earn money with your top equipment, the price difference of 1000 to 1500 euros is insignificant. Most do not earn money and so it is an expensive hobby for most. Especially since most photos become nothing anyway. No matter how expensive the camera is.

Yeah I don't understand why Manny keeps pumping out this content when he has made it clear time and time again that he hasn't enjoyed making these vids for quite some time now. "I don't like doing review videos," or ,"cameras are so good nowadays that reviews aren't that fun," we've heard those sentiments several times now. And it's a shame bc I love Manny's vlogs, I like the photo competitions he used to be in, and I liked his videos with portrait tips
