hey! nice review! i almost picked up this lens for my zv-e1 but opted for the samyang 35mm f1.8 instead. it’s just slightly bigger but you get f1.8 and the auto focus for both photo/video and image quality is great! i also have the sony 28mm f2 which is also another a really good option for both photo/video and it’s a bit smaller than the samyang 35mm f1.8. for both lenses you can find them around $300-$400 used CAD. lastly, i think you should also consider the tamron 20-40mm f2.8, it’s a really great/versatile lens and kinda eliminates the need of those prime lenses, and surprisingly it’s not that big of a lens especially for a prime zoom lens. anyways, hope this helps! nice photos btw!!

if you want 24mm 2.8, get the Sony G. zero focus breath, extra button to use as a record button.

Thanks for the honest review. Looks like the Sony 24mm 2.8 G is worth the double price (used)

Thanks for watching! I'm going to try the Sony 24mm f2.8 G in store and see if there's a difference. Ultimately it depends on what look you want. I think if you're okay with the softness at f2.8, it's not a bad choice.

I use the Sony 35 f1.8 lens with the Sony A7C II, it's still very compact and f1.8 makes a huge difference compared to f2.8 on full frame. I'm thinking of gradually buying more lenses, the Sony 24 f2.8 G and the Sony 55 f1.8. I wish you good light. 🙂

CORRECTION: The last image I show at 5:01 was actually shot at f2.8 and that's why it looks soft. NOT f7.1 as I said in the video. So.... it's not a bad lens when shot at narrower apertures. Just not great at f2.8 - which is kind of sucky if you are hoping to use it at f2.8 and you're expecting sharpness.

I've tried the Samyang 24mm twice, and was underwhelmed both times on Sony Full Frame bodies. If you are going to spend the money on a body like the A7C II the 24mm 2.8 G is worth getting. I love it and the 40mm G for their compactness and results. Great video Justine! Keep up the great work!

Hi i am considering the 24mm 2.8G but how about the distortion. I am intended to use it for photo and videography. Does it need much effort to fix the extreme distortion?

I think this a good entry level lens to upgrade your stock kit lens. Other reviewers like it for the auto focus and affordability.

I use the Neewer CM14 Pro from Amazon ($25!) but the real star of the show is the Voice Isolation feature in DaVinci Resolve Studio (paid version). It's so good at removing all background noise, it's almost as if I'm using a lav mic with all the muffs!

for pancake lens, there are few other options for different focals, other than Zeiss 35/2.8, Sony also have their own pancake G lens, 24/2.8. 40/2.5, 50/2.5, for street photography, i normally pick 35mm + 50mm, the perspective are more better on street, while 24mm way too wide for this.
@BadSloucher

I got the 24mm with the primary goal of vlogging in low light and tight spaces, and it did a great job in the Bar Volo clips. I think for street, I agree, something longer than 35 would be great. I think I'll look into the 40/2.5 next.

Don't film people close up with a 24mm lens. I actually don't want anyone filming my face with anything less than a 85mm lens. 50mm should be the lowest focal length for a close up like your bar shots. Maybe test this theory in another video. Sony has an affordable 85mm lens that looks great. That 24mm would be great for landscapes or wide shots with people in it but close ups, use 85mm.
