Great video! I sold my 24-105 for the 20-70 to pair with my newly acquired A7CR. The 20-70 is much smaller, lighter and sharper than the 24-105 and I am extremely impressed with how well it fits my everyday needs as a walk about lens. Too many people are judging this lens because its an f4 without considering its features and capabilities that, in my opinion, easily overcome it not being an f2.8.

Being involved in digital photography for over 16 years and photographing a wide variety of subjects including event photography, that found me photographing indoors and outdoors, covering wedding, baptisms, family gatherings and portraits along with other events the focal length works for a variety of subjects and a good every day lens, now if you shoot on a APSC camera with 2.8 aperture and use a zoom that covers the same focal length the 20-70mm f4 will give you better background separation than the equivalent 2.8 lens on APSC.

Amazing photos btw! Obsessed with your photos at 0:21

Another nice review. Looks like a great option. If I didn't already own the 24-105 and the Zeiss 16-35 I would seriously consider it. And you're right re f4. Modern Sony cameras' high ISO is amazing.

[Glen.Danielsen]

Excellent hiss, Chris. Monstrously help as usual! 💛🙏🏼

[jinaix]

I think I love this lens already! I have the 35-150mm but sometimes I want something light weight. I was about to get a 24-70mm but to save on size and I don’t mind F4. Price is also competitive.

Great job on the video Chris! Thanks for making it.

[boristahmasian]

Excellent review. Good demo of what this lens can do. However, I am subscribing for the fact you jumped in that freezing water!!

[Josh_Sattin]

Great review Chris! It's cool to see Sony coming out with some interesting lenses. That trip looked epic btw.

Wonderful overview! Thank you for sharing :)

I think I'll be happy with my Sigma 24-70 2.8. Unless you specifically want 20mm and don't already have a similar range zoom lens.

[nathanmorgan]

Had it been a new 20 -105, it would have had me. But I am more likely to consistently use the 71 -105 range on a 24-105 than i am the 20 -23mm on this.

[m.e.p.r]

I think F4 is OK if you are prepared to shoot with a tripod at base ISO during anything outside of bright conditions. Otherwise, you are going to need another faster Zoom or Prime in your preferred focal length, which IMO opinion negates the convenience of having a single lens. I think think the Sony 24-70 F2.8 is the best all round lens for most photographers, if you can afford it.

I have a a7iii, how high can I go with the ISO with s-log 2 ? Would you recommend it for the a7iii ?

[jwate]

I have the 20 G and a Sigma 24-70 so I can see the value with that lens, but at f4 I would rather get the 24-105 G. The lens I really want to get though is Tamrons 35-150 and pair that with the 20 G, yep.

[northparkfilms]

Very interesting lens. Would love to see it compared to the 24-105 f4. The size and 20mm for those wide shots alone has me feeling sold.

[SourPlanet]

This lens is really confusing me. I have 16-35/4 ZA and the 24-105/4. I use 70-105 a lot, I use 16-20 a lot. But a single carry lens that chops off a bit from each lens .. is super useful. It has an aperture ring too, which I value a lot.

Thanks Sony. Always baffling me with options. Could be worse- could be a Canon/Nikon shooter.

[The_Scottish_Adventurer]

What would you recommend for travel, the 24-50 f2.8 or the 20-70 f4?

Wanting to get one of these zooms for a trip to Milan next month.

Thank you

What f-stop do you usually shoot for your landscapes in normal lighting conditions on this lens?

[ThePhilharmonicStudios]

Sony 20-70 F4 or sigma 24-70 2.8 mark ii ? i own a tamron 20-40 2.8 i always hate switching to prime lens for the reach
