Hi Chris. To get the best accuracy and speed on AF, try to register the subject face and then use AF Lock settings. It's better than use spot or center AF for your test.

I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again: YOUR VIDEOS ARE SO GOOD!! I’m hooked. I’ve been shooting photos on my phone for about 1.5 year. Now, I’m looking forward to buying a Sony A7iii with a 24mm f1.4 and a Zeiss Batis 85mm f1.8 in a few months. Your videos have helped me a lot. Have a great day🙂!!. Good luck man!

I really want this lens. Now with the 17-28 Tamron coming out, I don’t know if I can justify both, since that is more versatile and will match up with the 28-75 so well. (I know you’re not too crazy about the 28-75, but it has been serving me very well.)

The 17-28 appeals to me wayyyyyyyy more. That wide 17 with F2.8 will be tastyyyyy

+1 on that Sigma 24mm art autofocus noise - EXTREMELY loud, making any type of shot done with shotgun mic totally unusable. Returned mine after 1 week and stick to the pricy but much more worth native lens (in my case Canon but i'm pretty sure will be same for sony). Great content and great review!

Hey Chris, Yes agree 100% with your review. I did massive research before deciding to go with the 24GM. I do astro mainly but it sits on my a7iii 95% of the time. No regrets at all, it is a beast. Low light matters to me and if you think it works well on the a7iii for astro, if you can manage to get your hands on an original a7s ( I own one) then try it on the a7s and be amazed. Best purchase lens I have ever made by far. A close second is the Sigma 16 f/1.4 apsc, both amazing lenses IMO.

Hey Chris, I was hoping you could help me with a dilemma I am having atm, I’m not sure if I should get the 7iii or 7riii? For a long time I’ve had my eyes on the 7riii but lately the 7iii sounds like a good option and use the extra money to spend it on a good lens. I need an hybrid camera with no compromise on photography. However coming from the Nikon D800 I have never had any real use for the 36MP. So I don’t really need the 42MB for massive prints but I’m not sure if 24MB is enough to allow minor cropping, particularly for videos when using the crop mode, does it compromises the 4K? Would appreciate your experience :)

Hi Chris! The thing with the 24 is that is not wide enough for establishing shots or vlogging, but is also not close enough for portraits. It kind of falls in the middle (at least for me!). Also any thoughs about the new announced tamron 17-28mm f2.8? It checks a lot of boxes for me: - Vlogging. - Fast (but not as much as 1.4 ofc, but i can do with that). - Light for gimbal work. ¿Do you think this lens can be a replacement of a 16-35 + a prime lens in only 1 lens and also a lot cheaper?

Chris, I’ve had that 24mm on my list since it was released but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. I had already committed to the Laowa 24mm f14 Macro Probe lens which I have now, but haven’t had a chance to use it. But that 24mm 1.4 is a sweet lens. I have the zooms I want and the 85mm f1.8. But that 24mm 1.4 is beautiful. I’m only buying 1.4 lenses to finish off my kit. Other than (maybe) the 55mm 1.8 but I can’t justify a 55mm when I have an 85mm. I’d rather get a fast 40mm... but I could make myself crazy thinking about it. I have an old 1.4 50mm manual lens that gets me by if needed. I’m also facing the possible leap to the Ninja V because I have a 2 day (all day) shoot that would be much nicer to capture straight to an SSD rather than changing SD cards and needing to restart the camera every 29 minutes. That decision will kill the 1.4 24mm for a while. Anyway, great video and I love that buttery background! I’m sold! It’s funny seeing Peterborough landmarks on KZread when I actually live here. Keep up the great (and consistent) work! Cheers

I need to know. Does your copy of this lens make any noise when focusing in single auto mode?

I ordered a second copy with the intention of returning the first and the second does the same thing!! Does your copy do this? When the aperture opens to 1.4 to focus then stops back down that’s when the noise is created.

@@chrisbrockhurst You mean get approval from the wife!

Hey Chris. Nice intro but probably took you a while? Wonder if it’s worth doing that each episode for each product? I’m guessing not. As for Vlogging with this 1.4. I’m thinking no. Especially at 1.4 since it’s so shallow you can go in and out of focus. To get the proper exposure outdoors you probably crank down the f to 4 anyway. So paying big for a fast lens probably isn’t worth it. Plus no stabilization? 👎. The hand held was bouncy. The footage on the gimbal looked great but do you want to put it on a gimbal each time you want to make a quick Vlog comment? No. Anyway keep up the great work.

I'd be interested to seeing a comparison between this and a canon L series 1.4 (if they have it)

truth right haha

Beyond my comprehension why this lens doesn't have an aperture lock. Like most decent pro-quality lenses of the last 50 years have had. Kind of unforgivable in a lens of this price. Slightly better at the edges than the Sigma 1.4 but is it really worth the hefty premium?

Compare to Batis 25 f2 I cant dicide which one to choose for price different around 200$ used what do u think

Well I own this so am always going to be bias 😊 but F2 vs 1.4 is a big difference!

I opted for the Batis. In side by side comparisons the AF was better and in general the Batis photos just looked better to me.

how is the lens compared to the 24-105 f4 for video?
