I’d like to point out that the video here does feel a lot like it’s suggesting the difference between a prime and zoom is flexibility and a prime can do anything a zoom can – if you are free to move with it. So using this at f1.8 may not always be the best bet. Shallow Depth of Field can be an overused look and it is worth keeping in mind that many lenses fall off in terms of sharpness the more wide open they are. 55mm is a lovely portrait focal length and at f1.8 you will be able to create real separation between your subject and their fore/background. Now this will produce a shallow depth of field and bokeh. The f4 16-35mm is not cheap at $1,300 (the f2.8 and even more). I agree that the Sony A7 cameras are excellent at high ISO’s, but choosing between an f 2.8 and f4 lens is a little more than that. Chris focusses more on the low light ability of that f4 compared to the more expensive version of this lens that offers f2.8 as a max aperture suggesting that the high ISO capability of the A7III renders the f-stop for light gathering less important. It is a nice focal length for general shooting, wide enough for selfie style vlogging and lovely as a walking lens for photography.Ĭhris calls this his ‘Everything Lens’ for everything from landscapes to portraits – sounds great, but let’s look at some of its shortcomings.į4 – so a true f4 on a full frame camera can still produce nice bokeh and shallow depth of field, of course it can, just not as much as a f2.8. For Chris, this is useful on a gimbal set for super wide, nicely stabilized shots. This is a versatile zoom lens from Sony, I used to own this one myself. It takes a bit of time and experimentation to come up with a list of lenses with their pros and cons, so thanks to Chris for putting in the effort, give him a like and subscribe! Here is his rundown: A few years on, and now we have a fine selection of Sony FE lenses and plenty of other manufacturers who have seen the popularity of the Sony system and jumped on board with lenses of their own.Ĭhris Brockhurst has done some of the work for us and you can check out his YouTube video right here talking about his favorite Sony FE lenses. On the release of the new A7 line of cameras, the choice of Sony FE glass was slim and it was fairly slow to fill out. So, let’s talk about the lenses that suit the Sony A7III, the Sony FE mount and cover the full frame sensor. One of its big selling points is the full frame sensor and the resulting shallow depth of field along with light gathering ability and everything else that goes into the fabled ‘Full-frame look’ – answers in the comments as to what that actually is, please. The combination of features, quality and, of course, price, make it hugely attractive. The Sony A7III has become a wildly popular camera and rightly so.
