18-105? That's equivalent of a 24-150, i think you mean 18-55 similar to the sigma 18-55 f2.8 for apsc... Probably simply a mistake, but just in case any ones wondering

Actually more like the Fujifilm 16-55 mm f 2.8

All your photography work is the best. I love how you edit the colours in the background which is quiet amazing and plus the portrait. Great work by the way. Keep it up.

Welcome to Melbourne, it's a beautiful city. Great shots and great content as always. I've been waiting for my 24-70mm 2.8 GM II for 2 months now, looking forward to seeing what it can do.

Ordered one for my new set up. This got me actually excited. Cheers man

Another fantastic POV video Sam! I’m curious - what settings do you use for exposure compensation, metering and focusing mode, whilst you’re shooting in manual?

Bro your last shot and your trick to get it was an instant subscription for me! I enjoy these pov videos and learn a lot! Thanks man

Bro great videos man thanks for all the tips!!

Awesome video! You selected the one under mine at 13:36. The contrast on the one you picked was beautiful.

i love your last shot.. its sick!

He made that look easy. Good stuff.

i just about to get the 28-75 for my A7iii looking forward to it

Love watching your stuff, especially as a Sony A7 shooter myself. Have you tried the Samyang 85mm f1.4? Super sharp and can isolate a subject perfectly at 1.4. Do you usually shoot RAW for more pay in editing or keep it to jpeg with small tweaks?

Another awesome POV 👌

Love this! I have a z6ii with the 24-200. Just got to test it out on a short trip to Mallorca and am very pleased with the results. Did lotsa hiking and I tried some night street photos, new to that, but a few good shots. Thanks much, love this channel!!

really lol. They look pretty crap to me. Have you ever seen good street photography?

As always 🔥

What do you think of the Sigma 28-70? And how do you film yourself while you're shooting if I may ask? I tried to do that with a DJI action cam but I did not like the quality and the angle /wildeness...

I have a G7x MK2 That does 24-100. Would it give similar compression effect as this lens? I'm a newbie to photography just watch your videos regular. Using G7x to start off with before deciding to get apsc or full frame. Any tips advice would be appreciated from you or anyone reading this comment. Thanks 🙏

Sam, any thoughts about Tamron 28-200?

I recently moved to Melbourne myself I really need to go out do some street photography, will give me an excuse to explore the city as well!

Is this lense ideal for sports? Basketball specifically?

You use the GoPro 8 for your POV camera, correct? What do you have it attached to?

Are you using presets in the final image shown or just camera filter and are you using manual focus or auto focus on the lens? plz reply.

im new, what do i enable/toggle with what buttons to turn it into 105?

The dude in the light, down the side street .🔥🔥🔥

Did you move to melbourne now or are you still in sydney?

I Can't Afford That Lens lol Nice Video and Cool Shots ....

Hi. I purchased a Panasonic g7 with a 56 mm lens and i dont know if you can help me set it up. I searched for videos but the majority of videos were about sony and canon camera. Thank you

i like your photo in the caffe e torta ( minute 11:45 ) is beautiful candid

Sick

is the constant 2.8 worth it to keep, instead of for example the tamron 28-200 2.8-5.6, i got that lens paired with the a7iv and its crazy

@Opticalwander

I would say so! It means when you get darker situations you can open up that aperture to get a brighter image. It just gives you a more versatile lens. Obviously you can still shoot at 28mm f2.8 but it’s limiting and I would personally be looking at getting a f2.8 all the way through.

so i have an idea, im pretty sure you have thought of it but what if just only for one time try to strap one of your cameras on your chest instead of the gopro? With an ultra-wide lens of course. Its going to be heavy and probably unpleasant but maybe give it a shot once?

If you don't mind the little extra weight, Samyang 24-70 f2.8 is your best bet. I have it myself. Great lens, just a bit heavier than Sigma & this Sony GM.

I'm thinking on buying your preset pack for lightroom however i only have access to photoshop. Will they work there aswell?

@Opticalwander

Yes they work on photoshop if it’s the current version from adobe. If it’s a cracked version (download from free online) then they most likely wont work correctly,

@OpticalWander how 24-70 2.8 would compare to Saymang new 35-150 2.0-2.8. I'm waiting for a good deal on 24-70 but now I kinda moving toward Samyang. But I need to watch some reviews. Is it possible for you to test Saymang new lens? I would want to hear your opinion on it.

I sure wouldn’t enjoy shooting street photography throughout the day with the Samyang or Tamron 35-150 since it’s heavy and very unbalanced. I just did two months in SE Asia and for me the 24-70 GM II at under 700g was a pleasure to shoot with single handed and to carry throughout the day ~ but that’s just me.

​@@MulliganAlMan that lens is my dream lens. 24-70 under 700grams. It's just way too expensive & a bit too "professional" for my need. I just wish there were smaller & lighter 24-70 2.8 lenses from other 3rd party companies.

It’s such a safe bet!! Whenever I’m not sure. Always 24-70!

I shoot with the Canon 28-70mm f/2. Yes, it's big. Yes, it's heavy. But damn! It's good.

If you want a great easy to carry lens? The best walk about lens is the Sony FE 24-105mm f4 OSS. Smaller. lighter, half the price of the 2.8, and you can buy excellent used ones for about $675.00! (why buy new?) And you get OSS on top of that. And don't believe the hype with the Tamron's, the 28-75 & 28-200mm. Over priced plastic. Had them both, sold them as fast as I bought them. Yah the Tamron 28-75mm is a bit better than the Sony kit 28-70mm. But not $800.00 dollars better. I mean, if your a professional, and have to have the 2.8, yah, that makes sense. But for 99.9% of the ppl, NO. Great video btw.

16-35 gm ii vs this one? Comment and I’ll buy 😊😊

Why not always use f2.8? I assumed the point in investing in a lens like this was for the wide aperture. Example, at 7:36 you use f16, why couldn't someone use f2.8 and a slower shutter speed? Don't mean to demean/diminish your skills, awesome video! I always learn a lot watching these!

@Opticalwander

Because when you open the shutter for a longer period of time you need to keep the exposure at the right exposure so you don’t over expose if I left it at 2.8 the photo would be to bright. The reason I had a longer shutter was due to me wanting to have the tram blurry for the photo and the subject in focus. Hope this explains your question.

you missed such a great shot with the audi at 1:30 😭

70 is not enough for zoom. Wish the lens could’ve been 20-100 or something

Its funny when people stop so there not in your shot, 99% of the time when your doing street you want them in the shot as either the subject or to help layer.

So dark

24-105 or 18-105 is more versatile. 24-70 is kinda boring tbh

No. It’s 24-90, if available.
