I use the 85 more than any other lens in my bag…AND it’s the cheapest one! I swear by this lens!! Dont spend the extra cash on the G Master! Well done again Jason!

[Pwayko]

I literally sold all my lenses and kept only these two and a digital wide angle for real estate. Best decision ever

Atm im rocking the Tamron 35-150 which I really love specially when traveling, Yes its a little heavy but I've done 10h hike in Iceland without a problem :) I do intend to get the 16-35 GM to complement the kit. Also bought the Samyang 50mm FEII on a fluke and its really nice.

I switched to Sony this year and that’s the route I took 16-35 but F4 Sony and 85 1.4 sigma (from KEH, lol)

How about a nice lense on a A6700? Does this camera really overheat?😮😮😮😮😮

Awesome video - what do you use at 00:24 as the yellow/orange background on your table? Is it card?

I just recieved my 85mm/1.8 (Black Friday deal so even cheaper) after rewatching your old videos recommending that focal length. I might be a bit of a sharpness freak as my go to setup now will be A7rV, 20-70mm f4 and 85mm f1.8. Two ridiculously sharp lenses that are cheaper than GMs and body that can go to aps-c and keep twenty-six megapixels of razor-sharp goodness.

Yeppp... After I have traveled to a lot of countries and tried at least 10 different lenses with my hybrid camera (Sony A7IV) I would say the 24-70 is just not it, kind of overrated, its good if you can bring only 1 lens (I own a Sigma 24-70), but I barely use it... if you can do 2 or maybe 3. I would say my go to is 16-35 f2.8 GM and Tamron 70-180 f2.8 so I cover a lot from wide to telephoto range. I also bring a prime, the 35 f1.4 GM for casual walk around or low light scenarios. If I know that I need an Astro lens I replace the 35 with the 20 f1.8 G, but the lighter is your backpack the better overall experience is.

I travel with the 12-24 f4, and work with the 24-70 GM2.

24-70 2.8 + 70-200 2.8 will cover most of anyone's needs. Throw in a fast and light 14 to 16mm prime and you're good to go at anything except birds and bugs.
Or if you really want the 16-35 instead, just pair that with a 50mm prime and the 70-200mm 2.8. APS-C mode is meh even with the A7 IV so I wouldn't count on that to get to 50mm with the 16-35. If you're not shooting indoors without flash or you don't really need the BOK-EH, grab f/4 versions of those zooms and save a ton in both cash and weight.

Nice choices. I have the Sigma 14-24 F2.8 and the Sony 24-105 F4 for my A7RIII. To this point I haven't needed or even wanted any thing else.

Tysm ❤ u. Appreciate you reading comments

[aimhighpressurewashing]

Hello, I need your help. I bought an Atamos for my Nikon Z9. How do you record the evf while shooting pictures. Every time, after I shoot 2 pictures, the Atamos stops recording. How can I make the Atamos continually record the evf even if I shoot 100 pictures ??? Thanks man!😀

[PropFlier]

Great video! The Sigma 85mm 1.4ƒ DG DN Art and the Sigma 16-28mm 2.8ƒ DG DN C are my go to’s for everyday carry!

[Trancra]

Another Jason video? Let's go buddy

[hellopsp]

my 2 would be the 16-35 GM and the tamron 35 -150mm

No overlap and full coverage :D

[m.e.p.r]

For portraits and landscapes IMO: A fast 50mm, a 24-70mm F2.8 and a fast 90mm. Done.

[abennett]

For the zoom lens, when it goes from 16 to 35, does the 35 look less distorted on people's faces? Like at 35, is it identical to a 35 prime?

[kaylenjohnson]

Do you recommend for newborn photography?

[nikkojoson]

what can you say about the sigma 18-50mm f2.8 for apsc? nice video as always!
