This video is just me saying the word 'versatile' a lot.

I think you could probably shoot with a potato lens and have the pictures look gallery worthy. Seriously one of the best photographers I’ve ever seen.

Great choices! It all depends on the ''look'' we want to achieve, desired compression, etc. Im a sucker for the 35mm focal length, however, a 20mm comes in handy from time to time. On the longer end I have liked the 100-400 from Sigma. Great lens without breaking the bank. And at the end of the day, we can never forget that its not about the tool, its about who is using it!

[sashinger]

Great selection! So many nice options for that system... Got also the A7 IV as my main cam and the Tamrons 28-75 II, 70-180 and 150-500 and the Sony 85mm f1.8. Even though it is by far the biggest the 150-500 amazed me the most lately. It's absolutely awesome. Will also add the Sigma 16-28mm f2.8 very soon and also have an eye on the Tamron 28-200 for extended hikes when I want my package light & compact. If I'd combine it with the Sigma and the A7C I could shoot 16-200mm under 1, 5kg. Love that. 😎

Always feel inspired to shoot after watching your videos. Thanks man 🔥

Lots of great options for E mount. I love my Sigma 24 as well - especially for video. The Sigma 28-70 is quite soft wide open, but I think that’s part of your aesthetic so it makes sense why you like it so much. I prefer the Sony 24-70 GM ii because I’m more of a pixel peeper.

Before I switched to Canon I shot Sony....the Sigma 24mm f1.4 NEVER left my camera. If it did it was to throw on the Sigma 105mm f1.4 Art. That 24mm has landed me TONS of jobs. Absolutely loved it.

[kevinheg]

I agree in many points with you 👍🏼
Currently in Japan, I took the Tamron 17-28, Sigma 35 1.4 and Sony 85 1.8
As a day Lens I took the 24-105 but I think Tamron 28-75 would be a little bit better except for the longer Zoom.
I don’t have a 20 or 24 1.4 but I belive it’s amazing for Videography!

Mitch I had my A7IV up for sale for the past couple of days. After watching this video, I've taken the listing down. I sold most of my lenses a few months ago and I've never really bought any super nice lenses since owning the camera. This video has inspired me to keep going and to find some lenses I gel with. Thank you so much for this.

[Woodleylozamma]

i really like the 24 1.4. very nice lens. if it possible to do a desk tour, thats would be nice, i really like your setup behind you.

I owned 2 of lens in this video . Sigma 35mm DGDN & 28-70mm DGDN. I got to say I love 35mm so much its very versatile. I used it to shoot wedding especially night reception. f1.4 really helps at all. 28-70 on the other hand is useful for travel. its very light, & compact compared to its sigma 24-70 or Gmaster 24-70. one more lens I own is 85mm DGDN for portraits shot. its really good, sharp as GM for the half of the price. not to mention build quality great too. I can say Im Sigma fans so much.

[deanlowe]

My top 3, 24mm 1.4gm - 85mm 1.8 - 70-200 2.8 gm oss, by far my most used for both my weddings and general photography.

[wesleychapman]

I can't get over how good these shots are, Mitch. I have to ask, was it the 3rd party lenses that ultimately caused you to switch over to Sony? You took so many bangers with the r6 as well.

[paulm]

Credible post and rationale. “Versatile” not at all overused, IMO😁. Good point about dust ingress for external type zoom lenses. Have you tried adapted vintage lenses? Cheers!

[stephenliu]

I only have one lens, SIGMA 28-70 F2.8, I love that lens, really can do everything and this lens really light, easy to use .

[brucegibson]

love that 24mm look! my go to lens is the fuji 23mm 1.4😍

[Mr.julian]

The 24mm focal length is so good hey pretty versitile

[johnpaultougan]

Great vid Mitch! Definitely wanna give the sigma 24 a try one day! Right now I’m rocking the tamron 28-75 with my Sony!!👌

[PaulFeinberg]

I have Tamron 28-75, 17-28, 28-200. Sony 12-24 f4, and my favorite much like yours is the Sony 24mm 1.4 GM. Gosh I shoot so much stuff with the 24mm. That wide but not too wide is perfect and that 1.4 can make some juicy backgrounds. Love it! Great video.

[cruiser]

Fantastic quality on the Sony 20mm. Are you using a diffusion filter on your A-Roll?
