My favorite primes are the 24 GM, 50 (1.2) GM, and 135 GM.

Another great video Danny!
I do apologise for not paying attention to what you are saying throughout the video because all I kept doing was saying “wow, every time your photos and videos appear on the screen.
I will watch it again and promise to pay attention this time 😊

As an enthusiast, the 3 primes I shot with back then, some 45 years ago were 24 f/2, 50 f/1.8 and 105 f/2.5. Now, the 50 f/1.2 and 85 f/1.2 but mostly zooms such as the holy trinity, although I wish I had the 200 f/2 as well. 🙂

I only use prime Lenses, my most important Lenses is 35mm and a Macro Lens, I have 2 35mm Lenses, the Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar 35mm 2.8 ZA which is so light and small that you always can have space for it in the bag or a pocket, the other is the Voigtländer APO-Lanthar 35mm 2.0 Aspherical which is a great Lens about the same size as the Sony 35mm 1.8, the Voigtländer is build like a tank and the optical image quality is at least as good as the Sony 35mm 1.4 GM. My most used Macro Lens is the Voigtländer Macro APO-Lanthar 110mm 2.5, I also 14mm, 21mm, 24mm, 55mm, 65mm, 85mm, 135mm and a lot of analog adapted Lenses. Most often I go with 2 Cameras in a small shoulder bag, one with a wide angle and the other with a short tele Lens and maybe a third Lens, more Lenses if I carry a backpack.

Hi! Great video! I would like to ask. I see you have filters in each of the three lenses. Can you please share which ones are, and have you had any problems with them in terms of quality or lens damage?

The sony 35mm f/1.4, and 135mm f/1.8.. . Haven't found another one I need yet as these two are fantastic for me as a dog photographer

3 primes for me, Sigma Art 35mm 1.4 DG DN, Sigma Art 85mm 1.4 DG DN and the Sony GM 135mm 1.8 - job done :-)

[mrbaiser]

50mm f2.5 G, because of size, weight, sharpness, autofocus speed. It's my main lens for street photography, besides the 85mm f1.8

[pinikpikantv]

If I can I would buy all GM primes but currently after tons of research and budgeting I got the ff:
24 1.4 GM- Best for all around with high MP camera. Can be one and done.
35 Zeiss 2.8- light and the color pop
55 1.8 Zeiss- Great and fast
90 2.8 G- My 85 ish and macro 2 in 1 lens which I attach to my apsc giving me 135 mm F3.5 ish lens.
I would have got the 135 GM but can’t decide if it will be enough reach. I am on a look out for a new third party zoom lens or just the 100-400 GM and an all rounder zoom 2.8 soon as price drops due to new versions released

[JohnScaneArt]

Those are 3 of my favorites too but I really love my Sony135 GM (more than my 85mm). Cheers

[ofusjust]

I have the same 3 lenses (well my 35mm is the 1.8) and they cover everything I shoot.

[AISkillBoost]

How often do you change lens during a shoot? Is it a smooth switch?

[FredPrana]

I also want to buy a 35mm lens but can't decide between the f1.4 and f.18. Mainly because of the minimum focusing distance. 😅

[GuestOfGregoryHouse]

I just bought an A7Siii with a 35mm 1.4 GM lens. Didn't do my research on the lens and was concerned with people saying it has a lot of focus breathing. I've heard the A7Siii is supposed to get an update to add focus breathing compensation soon but I wish these Sony lenses never had this problem to begin with. Just seems like Sony trying to cover a pretty major flaw.

[sukhrajsohal]

I thought you sold your 35mm 1.4 GM to go back to the 1.8?

[markcantlephotography]

sigma's 24mm 1.4 / 35mm 1.4 / 85mm 1.4

[DRMadeIt]

I’ll put my Tamron 35-150 against any prime lens

[carlennis]

I had the sigma 85mm 1.4 dg dn, sold it, I dont think the quality is near the GM lenses.
