The eternal debate. I would say we should probably have the 2.8 zooms + the prime. The question is: which should you buy first in the road to becoming a professional? I would say in financial terms the primes make more sense, for 2 primes + 2 bodies you can get by easy. The Zooms make more sense if you are starting out, easier to shoot, but they are more expensive. Decisions.
you are so right 🙂
moved from zooms to primes this summer and use the sigma 24,35,85 f1.4 best thing i did just need to decide on getting either a second hand A9 or a new A7IV
Just purchased the tamron 28-75 2.8 for 450 dollars. You can’t beat that quality for the price
I had the Sony 85 f1.8 and did not like it. The CA was terrible and the photos never looked that much different to my 70-200 f2.8 at 100mm. It was my least used lens. I sold it and got the Sigma 85 f1.4 Art and wow what a difference, zero CA pin sharp and fast to focus. So the 85 prime went from my least used to my most used lens over night. I shot over 1300 weddings in 23 years and owned some nice glass but the sigma 85 is my all time favourite. Only downside the lens is covered in small chips from use where as my GM lenses look like new.
do u use 2 camera bodies? primes are conveneient if u have dedicated camera bodies, for starters (and those who have low budget) isn’ the 24-70 a more practical choice?
Great video. I agree with the 35/85 combo. The primes just make a more pleasing image than the zooms also.
Maybe you should try tamron 35-150 f2-2.8?) One body, one lens and your favourite focal distances)
sony 85mm f 1.8 has faster response when it comes to autofocusing rather the f1.4 gmaster.
Another great video Danny! 👍🏻
When shooting Fuji, I used to love my 90mm F2 (135mm equivalent). That lens was really great and I was using it much more often than my 56mm 1.2 (85mm equiv). Partly because autofocus on the 56 was slow and not accurate. With the A7R5, an 85mm or something really close is going to be in my list down the line. And I’ll shoot in APSC mode if I want the 135mm focal length. 🙂
🎥 nice lenses
