Need a standard zoom with an f/2.8 aperture, but don't want the bulk and price of the Sony 24-70 GM II? Check out the adorable little Sony FE 24-50mm f/2.8 G! It may be bitty, but is the optical performance mighty? Chris Niccolls took the 24-50mm out to lovely landscapes of Kananaskis to find out.

I use the Tamron 28-75 2.8 for weddings and love it. It´s only 100g heavier and about 400 € cheaper and for me it has the more versatile range. Still I think it´s great that Sony tries to offer affordable 2.8 zooms, not like Canon who make you spend 2500 € for the cheapest 2.8 zoom.

Personally, I love my RF 24-70 f2.8. It’s got more quality from it than I even need. But it was expensive, and it’s large and heavy compared to third party competitors on E-mount. And, of course, this 24-50.

I like Tamron, but starting at 28mm is a dealbreaker for me. Sony should have made it 24-50/2. Yes it would have been as heavy as 24-70/2.8, but it would have eliminated in many cases the need to have primes with you. I can't live with f/2.8 shooting at a restaurant at night, I have to carry at least one prime.

@@hardywoodaway9912 I am speaking as a Sony shooter. I did purchase 2 sigma lenses a while back and both had less that satisfactory auto focus, so a pain in the ass with video (i do both stills and video). so I am no longer tempted to use a 3rd party lens when a first party lens exists. In fact I find that when I do look at Sigma or Tamron, I have to reacquaint myself with what their abbreviations mean. I am not in the market for this lens, but my son who has an a6000 is moving up to full frame and this will likely be his first lens (he does mostly landscape). I am not arguing with you, just pointing out that now the Sony has lots of lenses. sony shooters may not want to waste time on the 3rd party market.

Whenever you touch a Tamron, you can feel how cheap it was. Maybe if you’re a professional, you just care about results, you want to min-max cost/profit, but I, as a hobbyist, want to also feel good about using my gear. Just like with cars performance isn’t everything; you don’t want hard, scratchy plastics or cheap cloth on the seats, you want soft-touch materials, nicely damped switches, soft leather… Oh and besides feeling cheap, you don’t get a function button, aperture ring, breathing comp.

Sure some Sony glass feels nice in the hand but honestly as long as it gets the job done, produces a great image, and doesn't feel uncomfortable to hold I don't really care if it feels like plastic.

Most of us are looking to minimize the number of lenses we need to buy, so I think its a "dont bother with a kit zoom and a bunch of budget primes lens" , fast enough to soften backgrounds and better in low light than kit zooms, this AND a 150- 600 telle , OR a super wide or a macro and as a hobbyist depending on your interests thats going to cover a lot of situations.

Sounds like a good lens to offer as a kit lens on a new body. I’m hoping to get a 2.8 which crosses the 70mm barrier as photographing events 70mm can be too distant for performers at the back of the stage, so use the 70-200mm but that is not wide enough when their at the front of the stage. Am considering the tamron 35-150 but hoping Sony might come out with some thing lighter… Wouldnt have noticed the frame rate if you’d not said any thing

For me the most attractive feature is the compact size and still covering 24, 35, and 50mm focal length, which could replace the prime f2.5 lenses if the image quality was good enough. This could be a good alternative for street photographers that strives for compact and large enough aperture.

More options is always good but I do think it's going to struggle a tad given it has three direct competitors (size and weight wise). Most similar - Tamron 20-40 2.8 More versatile - 20-70 f4 or Sigma 28-70 2.8 (excluding tamron's 28-75 as its considerably bigger) Not for me but more options won't hurt.

I think this is aimed to displace those three little G primes they came out with a few years back. I believe the fastest of those was f/2.5. This lens covers the range of all three at a similar aperture and not much more price or size. I think you’re right on with its use as a street/travel lens.
@USGrant21st
@USGrant21st 3 ай бұрын
It has nothing in common with small G primes, other than focal range. People buy those primes for the reason they want small and light and this zoom is not. Moreover, people would choose one, not three of those primes, the one that fit their needs most.

I have the 20-70F4, and 24G, 40G, 50G lenses. This is an interesting lens for sure. If I didn't have the 20-70 I would strongly consider it. But it's easy to go down the fast aperture rabbit hole, with why stop at f2.8 get faster primes. And will say I do find I use the 20mm focal length a lot on the 20-70 f4. So yes, tempting but I think I will sit this one out.

Would you recommend this lens (Sony 24-50mm) or the Sigma 28-70mm/Tamron28-75mm lens for an all-in-one, compact lens? I know the Sony is a tiny bit smaller and shorter than the others and you get the extra Sony in-body features (focus breathing compensation, etc.), but you also lose 20ish extra mm of reach and it is a few hundred dollars more.

Not bad. I'm all in for compact, light lenses that don't break the bank. But in this case, I would prefer the wider focal range of the 20-70 f4. It's about the same weight, size and price, and if you can step back, it would give you almost the same shallowness of depth of field at 70mm at f4 as you would get with this lens at 50mm at f2.8. That all being said, I know there would be situations where the need of an extra stop would trump everything else.

I feel like one use for this lens is for someone who would be bringing the 24-70/2.8, but also some sort of a telephoto. This is cheaper and lighter than the 24-70, and if you also have a 70-200, you probably don’t need to fully cover the focal length gap. If you don’t need the 2.8, sure, the 20-70/4 makes sense, but if you do, I could easily see this having benefits over a 24-70 or 28-75. That said, the lens would probably be more special as a 22-45.

Maybe good for street? I shoot most photos around f/8-f10 and carry a 28 and 50. This could replace both.

Who is it for? Missed a really big possibility, video users. I'm looking for a studio lens and this is hitting all my boxes and then some. Vlogging would be probably amazing on this too.

Does anyone else think it's time for an updated/upgraded 24-240mm? I'd love to see even 24-200mm at a constant f4 and hopefully a decent closeup capability... I'd pay up and deal with some weight for this.

My main issue with it is that bokeh, the background rendering is not the best.

It is a good option to pull people into full frame. It’s cheaper than Sony 16-55mm F2.8. You cut off the wide a bit. Yet you can then move to full frame in the near future and still have glass.

We have sigma 18-50mm on apsc which is 27-75mm full frame. They’re small and compact. That lens should work with a7cii and a7cr.

The 24mm being fully extended is a hard pass from me. I was really hoping this was staying zoom all internal. THAT would have made this lens VERY interesting.

Who is this lens for? Maybe me. I'm putting together a travel kit and this lens might work well with the 16-25 G. I already have an A7CR, A7CII, and the 70-200 G II.

It's going to cost between 1100 and 1300 dollars so I don't know how affordable that is. I much prefer my more affordable and wider Tamron 20-40 lens.
