Hey Chris, absolutely love this video! It inspired me to get this lens and work on being more creative in my shots. I do have a question though, I got the lens yesterday and it's been making a rather loud clicking/grinding noise when changing Aperture stops. Is this normal? It's loud compared to my Sigma lenses, this is my first Sony lens however. I would really appreciate any feedback you can give.

This is one of your best videos, and probably the best video I've ever seen talking about the 24mm specifically. Nice work.

Thanks Perry I wasn’t sure if it was going to be boring lol

I would say 24mm is not for the beginner I still struggle with it but love when I nail it. I use to say to people asking what lens to buy (shooting people) - "as you go wider, you need more experience, and you need to be braver standing closer as you are no longer a distant observer, and as a result you will get better images". This is often typically what you see when people learn photography they start at 85 or more and end at 24. You may call it the reversed rule of age.

I started on 24mm not knowing what I’m doing... no wonder I find myself often frustrated

I cannot even begin to tell you how grateful I am for this. I have been searching tirelessly for a review that will convince me that I am purchasing the right lens. Given that there are seemingly limitless options, it has been nearly impossible to come to a decision; but you have convinced me to make the switch from Nikon to Sony. I started my photography business a few months ago, and have only used the Nikon D5300 with a 50MM 1.4, so I know little to nothing about other cameras, and lenses. Thank you so much for your clear, and concise explanation, as well as the sample images!! I love that you call it your ‘storytelling lens’, because your style of photography is EXACTLY the same as mine (or at least what I am aiming for!) I am obsessed with the ‘candid lifestyle’ vibe! 😂 Again, I cannot thank you enough! Please, please, please make more videos like this! They are incredibly helpful for clueless beginners such as myself!!

I love your pictures. 24 mm with the wider FoV and DoF just feels a lot more immersive, real, relatable, memorable. I wish it was used a lot more, in cinema, photography, etc

I get it.. The 24 G Master is a great lens.. blah blah blah...but let’s address what’s really going on here. You got skills man!!! I mean every single photo you showed was was awesome 😎 I know you could do wonders with any lens. Yes, this video does make me want to purchase the 24, but I’m not naive enough believe that my photos would be as awesome as yours. It is what it is... It’s the photographer NOT THE EQUIPMENT!!! .. and you sir are are the epitome of that phrase. In the meanwhile I’ll just be over here trying to step my game up 😂

wow, you have just re-ignited my love for my 24mm GM. Really love this video and your photos. I have always thought your 24mm photos had such a unique "look". Excellent example of someone taking portraits with an atypical "portrait focal length", but making them look magical. much respect, brother

Couple of years ago i was shooting only with 50mm and 85mm. But with time i started to go wider and wider. And now 24mm GM is my favourite lens! It lives on camera. I fall in love with it! Most of the people thinks that 24mm for landscapes, but i tried to prove that it's a magic portrait lens! Now i think it's much more fun than 35mm. Chris, i really love your style of photos!

Thanks mate

When shooting with 24mm I have more freedom to be able to tell the scene even going to get closer to the moment. I owned the 24-70 and 16-35 GM's, they are exceptional lenses (especially the wide angle) but I gave up on versatility focusing on creative ability. It is strange to tell it but frankly it is a lens that I prefer in an absurd way, and yet it is not easy to tell a story with 24mm but it inspires me and I will try to improve myself. Mainly my photographic genre and on documentary, travel, landscape and street. I confess to you that I liked this kind of speech very much and I would like you to talk about 85 GM, which are the favorite focal lengths when I work... Good work Chris...

I'm absolutely in love with this lens after watching your video haha. Haven't been into photography as much the past 6 months because I've been busy at university, but I'm glad to see you're still making great content. At the moment I can't afford the 24, but this video has definitely motivated me to work hard on my photography again so that I can grow to take advantage of it and eventually afford it! Mostly once everything clears up. Cheers

The way you talk about distortion being part of what makes the image interesting taught me a lot.

Thank you Chris this is the best review I’ve seen out of 10 videos on the 24mm 1.4 GM I love your story telling style a lot I’m looking forward to seeing more of your video you are the best!

I think this 24mm lends is ultra versatile. I like that it can include a good deal of background and foreground, while enabling nice blurry bokeh as well. I’m going to buy this lens!

Chris, this is the best video I've found on how to properly shoot a 24mm lens. Search on KZread for 24mm videos by other pros and their images look terrible. They will do half body or headshots with 24mm which should really be done with 85mm or greater. Or they shoot a portrait with an ugly and busy background. Environmental portraits with wider angle lenses, like the 24mm, are very difficult to master because there's so much background. Your work is truly amazing and inspirational. Your environmental portraits are like beautiful landscape shots that happen to have people in it.

Oh my God! Your pictures are just stunning! As the other guys commented below, you made us desire to have a 24mm f1.4 now GM. Simply beautiful work and very creative. I watched another video you made reviewing the Sigma 35mm art f1.2, and finally, I ordered it. I wish to have a nice result as you are having using these wide-angle lenses. Keep up the great work Chris. Greeting from Ireland.

Amazing review, really enjoyed listening to your story about this lens and your perspective. Well done!

I've been binging your videos the past few weeks and have learned so much. Thanks for being real! I love what you said about it being the "storyteller" lens. I almost never take my 35mm off my camera.

I love how you’re wearing a Fujifilm X hoodie while talking about a Sony lens

Jesus, now I'm even more in love with 24 mm. Your story about 24mm was excellent! Thanks!

This is exactly the kind of photography I love, the one that creates this perfect scene you can explore. The mix between the wide angle and the bokeh gives you this sort of 3D effect, kinda close to the medium format look. The composition feels like if the picture was alive. I had been thinking about getting a Sigma Art 24mm f/1.4, and this video is finally convincing me to get one. Your pictures are stunning by the way, awesome work!!

Bud, I had to stop a minute into the talk to let you know that your photos are great, the composition catches my eye and they are so full of depth. I've only seen two of your vids, on the Sony 24-70, and now this one and immediately had to subscribe after you mentioned shooting the majority of your photos center weighted... I thought, here's a man who knows his profession, knows what he's talking about.

Beautiful pictures with very informative tips. Was a real joy watching your video.

This is a great video! I feel the same way you do about the 24mm. I like that you can get super close to the subject and still get a lot of the background! I'm convinced to get this lens. Thank you so much for this!

Very nice video! Calm, informative and not too flashy or hectic, like many other channels style. Just bought the 24mm 1.4, cant wait for it to ship.

Awesome insights to the focal length and beautiful shots!

These images are amazing. Every single one of them.

Just picked up this lens today thanks to your great advice and review on the lens. I absolutely love it!

Thanks for the inspo love my 35 and can’t wait to try out 24❤

it's just became sooo boring to look at this 85mm portraits. It's pleasing, but boring for me. I found that it's much more interesting to look at photos from 24mm. Especially with wide aperture like 1.4

My first time watching one of your videos but it really helped me out! I need a lens on the wider side with my Sony a7 III and have been debating between the 16-35mm GM and the 24mm GM. I really think I'm gonna get the 24 because f/1.4 really makes a difference and 24mm looks to be a very versatile focal length. I really enjoyed seeing the photos you produced using your 24mm. Thanks Chris!

Just discovered your channel! Using the 35 1.4 and 85 1.4 myself too, I felt I needed to go a little wider, especially with foreground and background shots where there's a lot happening, and your video just confirmed what I felt and helped me decide! Excellent love the examples and will definitely be watching more of your content, subscribed :D

been binging your videos, brother! All solid tips and love your style of shooting. It's the vibe I'm trying to work towards. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and all the best man! -Tuan

Great images, Chris! Love your work 👍🏻

Your works are simply outstanding.

Great insights Chris! I really like the 24mm GM too. It just has such little distortion and the rendering is just so beautiful - one of my favorite lenses of all time! I recently picked up the FE 35mm f/1.8 based on your review and user experience and that one is currently my favorite lens right now! Keep the great videos coming!✌️

You sold me on the 24mm Chris - you showcased the versatility of this lens better than anyone else has done. I tossed and turned on getting the 35mm 1.4 GM (I have the 35 FE but I have an A7III - otherwise the 24 would have been no brainer). Thank you. Your framing is 1st class.

Great photos. It gives a lot of perspective and story telling with the 24 mil

Love the content of this video - I own the 24mm 1.4 because of your reviews and love the sharpness and ability to crop in close to 35mm for that documentary style. I appreciate you talking about the “center weighted” nature of your style - as that is a challenge of the lens. Good to know that center is okay and not everything has to be rule of thirds. Thanks Chris

@ChrisTurnerPhotographer

Thanks mate. I think the “rule of thirds” in general gets a bit old if your using it all the time. I would use it more in a vertical sense. Like a horizontal photo but having the horizon on the lower or upper third line.

Chris you are an inspiration! Thank you for all of your videos and insight. You are persuading me to pick up 24mm for Weddings!

Chris, your Sony 24mm videos convinced to purchase it. Maaaannn do I love it!👍🏾👍🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

This vid really gave me a diff.... perspective. Really like the format and am going push 24mm for a bit and see what I get. Thanks for the great content.

Best videos bro. Love your composition, edits (especially the tones), and how you are giving us photography to reference throughout the video. Hopefully we can shoot someday

Thank you al lot for that discover of the 24mm on a wedding shoot, really inspired me !

Ordered the 24mm 1.4 sigma yesterday. Watching this today has me pumped. Just hope my weddings go ahead this year:) 28mm has being my story telling lens so far, it’s brought me in 72 weddings for this year but it is soft outside of centre so the 24 gives me more with sharper images. Win win :)

Best video I saw for the 24mm. Also very inspiring photos

Oke hands down best 24mm specific video there is, i am getting my 16mm aps-c as soon as possible now.

Really love how u showed so many images as examples

This is the best Sony 24 review. Great job and thanks.

your photos, your edits are awesome!

This is really, really good stuff. I feel like I’m just starting to understand my 35mm I’m terms of depth creation. Really interested to give 24mm a try as the next evolution as my photography matures.

Thanks for this video, Chris. Just picked up the 24 GM so this is helpful.

Just purchased this lens. Very excited to play around with it.

Nice one Chris! Bought my 24 1.4 GM last May because of your photos 💯

Thanks mate. Needed this video. I bought the G master 24mm months ago and have barely used it. Been going back to my 35 too often. Need to start using it more!

Been debating for months on getting my next prime between a 35mm and 24mm. This convinces me to get a 24mm. Thank you!

Hi Chris, do you often find yourself having to crop your 24mm images to exclude unwanted/distracting elements? btw great video and amazing pics! cheers

Great video thanks! Really exited to buy mine

Thanks for the perspective. I think I’ll use my 24mm more often and with center focus. I’ve always been more close up, but this angle makes sense too.

Yeah! Really inspiring video as I am trying to get the deeper feeling for my Fuji 16mm f1.4. I am always afraid to use it too much in real working situations... and I am always glad I did. I keep coming back and need to really learn this.. Great video! Do you have any videos coming up using the 16mm f1.4 I think there are many people that would love to watch. Or maybe some insights on when its time for the 23/35ff vs when the 16/24ff is the way to go. Regards from Anton Engblom in Sweden.

This video is so good. Your photos are amazing. Thanks for the inspiration. Suscribed

Great vid Chris, thanks for your insight and tips. Such a tough decision when some of us (e.g. me :-) don't have the budget to own as many lenses as we'd like. Am considering 24mm vs 35mm primes at present, this helps a lot.

thanks for reminding me that good images are more than just what aperture and focal length I'm using. been on the 24-70 train for too long

I just got the 24mm gm and had the 35mm for a few days a couple weeks back. I was thinking about getting the 35mm GM as well, but I feel like I wouldn't use it as often as the 24mm. Though I do like the 35mm compression. I really enjoy the 24, and liked it better than the 20mm G. Great shots and great video Chris!!

Wow, that 24 mate is superb. Just amazing especially with the kind of skills that you have. The Brenizer method (bokeh panorama) was the thing that I absolutely like when I first saw it. I love wide-angle shots of landscapes and I was always curious how to photograph a wide-angle panorama bokeh until I saw that method. But to be honest, with your skills and the 24mm lens that you are using, it is more than enough for me. Kudos to you mate. Disclaimer: I don't know if ryan brenizer invented the bokeh panorama or he just learned it from someone, but as they say he popularized it.

So many great pics.

Great stuff, thank you for the info. And wonderful photos

I appreciate the perspective on this lens. I was thinking of not bringing it with me but now I will.

Your photos are amazing! I just ordered a Sony a7siii and wasn't even considering a 24mm, but you've got me thinking...

Thanks for the push towards this through all your positive words and dope pictures taken with it! Sold my Ricoh GRiii (which was fun, but I want an X100V down the line over it) and a 35mm 2.8 Zeiss I had sitting around and broke even. It sure is funny how as your skill improves you find more comfort in utilizing the wider angles. And that 1.4 though! Man it’s just gorgeous and so unique at 24. I’m afraid I won’t use my 16-35GM anymore lol.
