Opinion:I've always hated all-rounder lenses, but when I saw the presentation of the Sony 24-50 G, it was love at first sight. I immediately fell in love with the colors it returns: it was perfect for me, light, quality and able to cover the most used focal lengths. A few days ago I decided to buy it, because I had to do a photo shoot at MMA competitions. Having only fixed lenses, I thought the 24-50G would be perfect for the situation, and it didn't disappoint. In one day I took about 2400 photos. Between the two rings, to prevent the mesh of the MMA cage from appearing in the photo, I had to position the lens at 50mm, resting the lens near the openings of the mesh cage. Thanks to the easy handling and low weight, combined with my A7C, I was also able to take shots from the top of the cage. The meetings lasted a few minutes, so I had to please everyone, including the various coaches present in the room with other athletes, whom I photographed, even in group photos. It was a photo marathon of about 7 hours and, having serious back problems, if I had had a heavier lens I would have struggled. This lens is a spectacle: at f/2.8 you get a great bokeh. It's true that there's also the 20-70G, but it's f/4 and it's a bit bulkier and more expensive. One stop difference goes a long way indoors. In conclusion, it is the best lens I have ever had, considering quality, price and lightness. If you love quality and treat your RAW in Lightroom, know that, according to my tests, there is a little more noise than Sony's Imaging Edge, which not only reduces noise, but also offers more contrasty files. For a few photos, I recommend using Imaging Edge
Pros:Perfect cut and size for my idea of street, it makes me want to take the car with me more often
Cons:value for money, distortion
Opinion:I've only tried once to use zoom lenses for the street, with a Fuji, and I was convinced that the street is done with a couple of primes and so on. No zoom, I move. My opinion. Then after having the stupid idea of doing 3 weeks in Istanbul alone with three G Master 1.2 and 1.4 primes, and having broken my shoulders I started to think that I should buy back the old FE 1.8 or even think about a light zoom. All the talk about quality and performance is right, but if you don't shoot because you don't want to carry around 5 kg of equipment then... I bought the 24-50, it seems to me the worst and best spent amount in my life at the same time. Qualitatively, it doesn't seem to me to be worth what it costs, and maybe I'm wrong. But it's small and weighs 440 grams. And after only two days of testing, it has already happened to me several times to widen or tighten on the fly and allow myself to steal the right photo. Maybe it's the optics I can take with me on the road. The distortions at 24 are many. It's not 1.8, it's not 1.4, but it covers the focal lengths I want in a very small space.
Pros:Compact Lightweight Sharp Parafocal, 50mm rest, very well balanced, 67mm filters
Cons:It could be the price
Opinion:Taken immediately after it came out, after this period of use I would like to write my impression on this lens with a particular range. The main advantage of this lens is the combination of very high quality optics with very low weights and dimensions, slightly smaller and lighter than the GM prime lenses. I have the A7C 2 and the match is perfect, a small, light, very portable kit that is very little in the eye with a very high quality of final result. Compared to the sony 50mm f1.8, the blur remains softer and more pleasant, and the shorter minimum focusing distance can be useful. 440g and covers the 3 fundamental focal lengths 24, 35 and 50 at f2.8 could make it unnecessary to carry around the fixed focal lengths in your hand the camera is very light, balanced, you never get tired of holding it in your hand. Extremely fast and accurate autofocus and for those who take videos the parfocal lens is a nice thing. The aperture control ring can be made smooth or jerky, all 3 rings offer the right resistance. I like to shoot at 50mm but sometimes it's convenient to be able to widen, the fact that at rest it starts from 50mm is an advantage for me because as soon as I turn it on I immediately have my favorite focal length. Closing to f8 - f11 comes out a nice little star. Nice sharpness already at F2.8. The perfect lens for portrait set, street, travel... It can really be the only lens you can carry around. I would pair it well for portraits with the sony 85mm f1.8 and maybe with a small fixed wide angle. The uncorrected RAWs have a lot of vignetting distortion, but the autocorrect fixes everything, Sony lenses now cone like this: high definition, light, compact... and the distortion is corrected via software. The price is not cheap but it is half of the GMII with a quality of the final results not far away (evaluated here by seeing a few shots and comparisons recovered online) the difference is the 20mm and a very different think and balance that on a body like the A7C can be even more annoying For videos the fact that it is sony allows you to use the various camera stabilizations to the maximum, compared to the same focal lengths with the Tamrons... Stabilization on Sonys works best. In addition, gyroscope data is also saved so that with Catalyst Browse you can do a post stabilization. Totally silent autofocus doesn't affect audio in videos. The filters are 67mm which is the most used size (all or almost all the tamrons and also the 85mm f1.8) so that they can be shared between the various lenses. For me I rate 10... But maybe those who only take photos (with cameras that don't take 30+ shots per second) could have cheaper alternatives, but if you also make MMM videos I don't think there is a better choice between price and quality of the final result and versatility
