![]() ![]() The G Master was what I would expect from a Sony lens and got the job done for my needs at the time. Starting with the native option from Sony. Well, I had the chance to test each lens recently in this very location and this is what I thought of each lens, along with examples taken with each lens on my Sony A7R IV. But how does each lens weigh up against each other when being used in the same circumstances, or say for example on a day out at Boscastle Harbour in Cornwall. So, those are the specs of each lens side by side and as you can see few differences between them. But with all four being at such different prices for many of the same features what makes them unique from each other? To answer that let us have a look at the specs side by side:ĦFLD +, 2FLD +, Aspherical, Super Multi-layer ![]() Now you may be thinking, yes these all offer a zoom range of 24-70mm, apart from the Tamron with its unique 28-75mm, and yes, they all have a fixed fast aperture of F2.8 throughout the lens. Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 Sony FE The first version of this lens was immensely popular amongst Sony shooters and with this latest version now available at around £850 it will be one to consider amongst the others we are looking at. While not quite 24-70mm the Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 DI III VXD G2 – Sony FE fit is close enough to be in the running. And coming in at just over £800 it is the cheapest option of the four we are looking at.įinally, there is the newest version of Tamron’s extremely popular 28-75mm. This is Samyang’s first zoom lens as part of their AF range for Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras. The Samyang AF 24-70mm F2.8 Sony FE mount. ![]() Secondly, new from Samyang is their first AF standard zoom lens. Sigma AF 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art Lens - E-Mount Coming in at around £1000 it is the third most expensive after the Sony G Master. This is a redesigned lens from Sigma, that has been made especially for FE and L mount mirrorless cameras as part of their DG DN range of lenses. But not to worry there are some 3rd party options from the likes of Sigma, Samyang, and Tamron that many Sony users are using or considering instead of going “native”.įirst up is the Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art lens for the Sony FE-mount. While there is nothing wrong with doing this, coming in at over £1500, this is undoubtedly a costly option to go for. When shooting with Sony’s fantastic full-frame mirrorless cameras there is the option of going “native” which in this case means shooting with the Sony FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM. ![]() Meaning yes, you can use a zoom lens for portraits or street photography with these options below. Whereas the lenses we will be reviewing below can give the same results (if not better) than some dedicated prime lenses. However, most prime lenses with a good wide aperture can be very costly if you are wanting that lovely smooth bokeh or shallow depth of field and edge to edge sharpness. Now you may say a decent prime lens will give better results for street or portrait photography. With some of the best lenses on the market offering fixed F2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range, it opens up the possibilities even further with good low light capabilities and lovely smooth bokeh or shallow depth of field. And the in-between for almost all types of photography. From the widest part of the lens at 24mm for Landscapes to the narrowest part of 70mm for Portraits. The 24-70mm lens is a good place to start looking if you are wanting a full-frame lens that will be able to cover a diverse variety of photography types. With a spec comparison and a field test review of each lens.īut first, what is the 24-70mm lens good for? We will go through four of the top options currently available to all Sony shooters, from professional to beginner/hobbyist. This blog should help give an idea of which one to go for if you are in the market for a new lens. Well, luckily for you, there is currently a good array of options for every kind of Sony user when it comes to the all-rounder 24-70mm lens. So, you shoot Sony and are currently using a more basic zoom kit lens and want to upgrade to a more versatile all-rounder zoom lens?
