Oh no, I was just about to ask you to take the Zeiss 18 2.8 for a vlog test as I have just found out about its existence. So I have the 16/35 GM with A7S 3 that sits on RCS 2 ; I was wondering if I could save some weight with the Zeiss offering while maintaining same image Quality. The thing is that we will be most part of the time both of us in frame: how would it handle the autofocus? So please, from one scrub to another, give it a go if you got the chance; there’s no pressure, we still got like 2 months before we leave 😹 do that and will give you a shoutout from the darkest streets of Bangkok as a thank you 🙏 😹

I had the Batis 25 for years but sold it to be practical when I bought the 16-35 GM. Although the 16-35 is awesome, I bought the Batis again as it’s light weight and warm color character make it my favorite lens for hiking trips.

Great vid! The Zeiss 25mm is a gorgeous lens - one of my absolute favorites. It’s so good it makes me want to shoot wider than I otherwise probably would.

Hi Kasey, colors from this lens are beautiful, and also flare. You did a great purchase. Cheers!

From my own experience with Zeiss lens is that the Zeiss 3D Pop that everyone talk about is cause by the intense colors tones and unique bokeh.... You did a great choice going with the Zeiss it is lighter and cheaper and having f2 is plenty enough for what you doing. Plus the lens is sharp even if it is not a G Master.

@@bijosn Im not 100% sure sure what make Zeiss lens pop beside the colors and beautiful unique bokeh but itnis my cup of tea i own a few Zeiss and i will always keep them even if GM lens are a little sharper.

I thought I was the only one who noticed the "3d pop" of the Sony Zeiss lenses until I watched this video. I have the very humble 35mm toneh 2.8 Sony Zeiss and it is incredible. I used to think it would be the lens I used the least, as I have other fast primes. Then I started taking it out a bit more, and oh wow. There is just something special about its look. It has this "vibe" to it. I never thought I'd be the sort of person to say this sort of thing. It is almost a vintage style 3 dimensional pop, that is just pleasing to the eye, yet it's still incredibly detailed. I've taken lame photos of the side of buildings, not thinking much about the photo, only to get home and find it was one of best photos I've ever taken, just from the emotion given off by the contrast of different textures and shadows in the photograph. I think in nearly all cases they should be up for consideration over the G-master equivalents.

I've seen this review way too many times. I've been debating between the Sony 20mm F1.8 G and this Batis 25mm F2. This one has sharp corners even at F2 (they get better at F2.8 and are excellent at F4), that Zeiss look and like mentioned less focus breathing in video. If you buy it used for a good price it's worth every dollar/euro/pound.

Uncle Rico knows his lens. I prefer the zeiss too. Color seems to be more vivid in some youtube a/b comparisons I've seen. I might pull the trigger soon.

I immediately want one after watching this: you don’t look jaundiced for the first time.

Love the batis series in general!

i bought a sony 20 1.8g. sharp yes. magical? sold it and now using an adapted canon ef 2.0 is. considering the zeiss.

I like your narrative. Kind of entertaining. I love Zeiss lenes for Nikon. Pfff... I enjoy working with them. This is what is important to me, even without AF.... and missing here and there an opportunity...

Casey may ridicule and yell at me for asking this, but is there anything wrong with just going with the Tamron 17-28 for the Sony A7SIII and being done with it? Isn't it good enough for like 95% of situations?

It looks great, that green around the light is not noticable. You zoomed in and I had to search. It does have that 3d pop. The backgrounds are blurry in a nice way. Colors are kinda brownish tan to me. Like much better than the orange canon colors. Zeiss just seem classy somehow, not cartoonish. Maybe from look of old films or something.

You can’t go wrong with Batis

This guy has a special kind of swagger haha

You need to try out some of those big Fujinon cinema lenses like Philip Bloom has.

Had the 16-35 and 100-400 GM lenses for years and have never been happy with the colours. I thought it was the A7RIV that just had crappy colours. There was just something missing and I ended up having to work really hard in Capture One to get something OK-ish. Recently bought the Batis 25, 40 and 135 lenses and I’m stunned at the quality of images the Sony is now producing - they are now rivalling my Phase One back. Zeiss pop is REAL. Colours and warmth are stunning. I’ll never use Sony lenses again.

Whats the deal with 24mm lenses, as Panasonic is also releasing one now. I have the 20-60 already, will get the Sigma 105mm Macro Art instead for Macro/Portrait ... stuff

In a nutshell, an Olympus EM1 with a 12 mm f1.8 (24 mm f 3.6 equiv) does the same job?

Love the content homie. I have a question about dynamic range. I want to be famous v-blogger like you. But I want people to be able to see me v-blogging outside, and also the blue sky, from a proper camera. Is this even possible? .Why does smart phone and even GoPro or osmo action show blue skies and properly exposed face with no effort, but my canon and Panasonic mirrorless just can’t do it. Even in log, to keep the sky blue, my face is underexposed and that’s no good because I am the star, and want to be famous v-blogger. I can’t be the only one who can’t figure out this problem. Is there any proper camera that can do this? Do I need a canon C9000 or A7Siiii? You are the camera scientist Please explain and help us.

Hey good lookin' your shot actually looks really nice the moment you take it outside. Idk what you're saying that sounds like tunnuck... Tony? but nice colors and bokeh. Just leave it. Leave that bokeh alone. O well, have a good weekend catching lots of sun stars.

I was also this moron. I got tired of waiting for the Gmaster to be in stock so I went with the Zeiss. Almost immediately became my favorite lens, and now rarely leaves my camera.

I find with the 20mm and active stabe on its perfect (22mm) but standard stabe yeah I can see what you mean about wideness.

This lens produces a gorgeous image, its got character.

Love this channel....I listen to this ot at night while in bed....it puts me right out

The test charts I looked at showed the chromatic aberration almost disappearing after f4- 5.6, losing toneh but not a deal killer for me- anyone with this lens agree? I am looking at it.

Was the "Zeiss Pop" the way the lights were popping when you moved your hands in the studio? Seems like Everytime you moved your hands from the first segment in the studio, cause an auto-exposure change. Made it very distracting and hard to watch.

Zeiss is looking good. Nice toneh, nice pop, nice color rendition. Nice lens. As for the amount of toneh f/2-4 is fine for the vlog, still plenty of pop. Maybe best you ever looked with a Soneh! It is about character and usability.

i have this zeiss, i love it, i use on my old sony a7 mk1 , and af its still fast :)

Interestingly I have the same experience. I have been using the Zeiss Batis 25mm for a few years, then sold it to buy the GM 24mm, after a few months, I sold the GM and bought the Zeiss back to keep for good. Reasons: 1) Batis 25mm is wider than GM 24mm & the images look more than a 24mm range image (critical to me), GM 24mm is just "not so wide" though its 24mm, not sure why. 2) I consistently find the Zeiss produces 3D pop image, love its rendering and contrast, GM24 does a good job but to me, not as good. 3) Yes, Zeiss is lighter and with all the benefits cheaper... GM are good (I own many other GMs, but Zeiss 25mm is a keeper for me). Cheers.

Oh man 😂 You got a like and a sub!

I'll weigh in with another reason, and as you put it 'it's not a good reason but it's important'. The Zeiss Batis lenses just LOOK so much nicer than the Sony Native Lenses do. Some people don't care about design or aesthetics and that's fine, but a lot of clients will notice who has the 'prettier' gear. Not to mention that when you're using something, you want to like how it looks. The Sony Lenses with their slightly off black/grey and Orange logos and rugged look, it's fine, but that smooth black metal industrial design of the Batis lenses is unmatched IMO.
