Great review! Recently purchased the 12-24GM, for a project within a small studio space...no regrets.

Much like yourself I really appreciate well thought out products even if it's just a lens cap. That is fantastic, I can totally relate to your enthusiasm over it. Sadly so many products are made to look good in an ad but aren't well executed.

Yet another thorough unbiased review

You’re the legend!!

Hey Ken! Thank you very much for all of your reviews. I really enjoy tuning in to each one and hearing your thoughts. I had a question I was hoping you could answer. For the interior shot of the home that you got with this lens, I looked at your review online and reviewed your original file and I am blown away by how sharp it is from the front to the back of the room at 2.8! I have shot interiors before at 14mm but have never been able to get everything in total focus like you did here at that wide of an aperture. Can you tell me how this happened? Is it because of how wide the lens is at 12mm? I doubt it’s focus stacked? I’m still learning and again I really appreciate you and the content that you upload! Much thanks from Oregon :)

Hi Ken,

Do you think you’ll ever do a review for the Haida Rear Filters that have not long been out ? Also I’m a new subscriber so I’ll be looking forward to more reviews as I’ve just changed system to Sony from Canon

Another reason for this lens is underwater photography/video. You lose an f-stop every 10 ft. Nice review, you have a new sub.

I am not at all interested in a wide lens but I still thought the video was very interesting.

Hey Ken can you review the Sigma 14-24 DG DN?

Yet another reason to switch to Sony - I love ultra wides. The sole reason I bought my cheapo new Nikon was because my cheapo old Nikon couldn't use the 10-20mm P. Love the first photo.

No stimulus check. Had to settle for a Tamron 17-35mm from Vietnam.

The anti-climatic lens, realized when shopping for a house. 9:40

Ken, why do I have this feeling that this lens in combination with the a7s3 will make you a mainly Sony shooter? lol😊

[daryshoot]

Thank you for your video.
I have used the 12-24 F4 very often when traveling, for landscapes, seascapes and home interiors. This lens has become a toy because of its ease of use. I have a lot of hope with the 2.8 lens which exceeds the Canon 11-24: houra for Sony !
Unfortunately, who can do without China for now ? No one even for the masks ...

[alexandermenzies]

A stimulus cheque? To stimulate China (CCP)? No thanks. (Apart from that, a good quick review, Ken.))

sony selling $3000 made in china lens. No thanks.
