sony_fe24_f1-4Sony FE 24mm f/1.4 GM

Pros: Weight, sharpness, af, reliability, colour, blur

Cons: nothing

Opinion: An incredible lens, which I fall in love with more and more with each event. My first GM, an incredible yield, super reliable. With the a7iii I can have an incredible amount of photos in focus at 1.4 even in difficult light conditions. I feel safe with him, I know that the shot takes him home and also very well. 24mm is a difficult focal length, but when you start to understand it, it will give you unique snippets of the story. I was a staunch supporter of 35, but since I shoot with 24 at events, 35 seems to me to cut away a part of the story. The GM quality is truly incredible, now I have decided to add the 50 mm to it during events, I just have to decide between the 1.2 and the 1.4. I know that the sigmas are excellent and cost less, but they are pieces that I will carry with me from here to the years to come, I think the extra expense is justified. The tamron 35 150 has served me well so far, but GM lenses are a cut above anything else I've tried, on thousands of photos you can see the difference.

tamron_35-150_f2iiiTamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD

Pros: Versatility, optical quality, build quality

Cons: AF not at the levels of the most performing ones, but still excellent, the flare in backlight is not nice

Opinion: I thought about it a lot, but for my way of working I couldn't have made a better choice. I tried to use the dual camera in events with the classic paired 35 85 (90 in my case, but we are there) but I was not at ease in the slightest. Always having a dangling body that slams to the right and misses, in the long run limits me in movement and efficiency. I preferred to go back to the single room and change lenses as needed. This lens reshuffles the cards at stake. Taking into account that now I travel with a maximum of 2 lenses (this and the wide angle in case of need) in the end I lightened the bag a lot, reduced the lens changes to a minimum, I can use a single body as I prefer to do, maintaining a quality almost unchanged compared to the previous torque (35 1.8 sony and 90 mm macro). It is true that I have "lost" the macro, which in the case of events is quite useless, but I have gained literally hundreds of other focal lengths that I can use without any sacrifice, and it is so much gained, not being a lover of "well, I shoot at 24 mm so much then I cut out and it becomes a nice 40". The quality is excellent, to the point that I can use it without problems at full aperture at each focal length, being the closure quite gradual. Personally I sold the 70 200 f4 (I often stopped at 150 mm shooting and in any case up to 200 does not change so drastically), the 50 1.8, and I'm considering selling the 35 1.8 as well. Considering the savings in weight and bulk that I had, I do not feel like judging it even heavy ... after all, it weighs less than some sigma art, such as 40. The only flaws that I found are a rate of fire not at the levels of other sony lenses, sometimes it does not take the subject in a very fast time (never happened the col 35 for example), and the flare in backlight, did not give me the same satisfactions of the 70 200 that I used. The focusing distance is not as permissive as the 35 mm or the macro, it does not make me feel too much the lack. Net of everything, I would give a 9.5. Since there are no half votes, the 10 deserves it. Brava Tamron for intuition, courage and accomplishment.

sony_fe50_f1-8Sony FE 50mm f/1.8

Pros: Light, compact, price, good yield

Cons: af a noisy hair

Opinion: Using it on a7iii far from being that lousy lens that many complain about indeed, it behaves very well even in the detection of the eye. It's a noisy hair, but no more than the 50 mm canon II, and the af is definitely better too. The build quality is discreet, plastic above 45 mm samyang, but it costs more. I honestly think this lens was a little mistreated for no real reason. "He doesn't have the surrender of the zeiss"... it costs 1/4, do a little you.
