Which lenses do I have? And why do I have them? What do I love and hate about them? Those questions will be answered today.
I already talked about Zoom vs Prime lenses in a previous video. Please check that for my thoughts about those:
Now here are my three loved lenses:
ZEISS Batis 25mm f/2.0 - Landscape / Video Lens - http://geni.us/batis25 (aff)
This lense is the one that I use most on my Gimbal and for Video. It's a great quality lense. Has an incredible autofocus which is basically not audible. Overall a very nice color rich lense made by ZEISS. The field of view is great for the wider shots and not too wide to be crazy. Sometimes I wish I had a little more to get an even more immersive feel - but for now this is enough.
ZEISS Batis 85mm f/1.8 - Portrait / Detail Lense - http://geni.us/batis85 (aff)
A lovely portrait lense and also great for details. I use this for photography almost exclusively. Sometimes also on the gimbal for some detail video shots. But in general a great lense to photograph people. This lense has the same amazing autofocus that the 25mm Batis also has. Super fast and super silent.
Sigma 35mm f/1.4 ART - Portrait / Instagram Lense - http://geni.us/gph5s (aff)
Sigma MC-11 - EF to E-Mount - http://geni.us/gph5s (aff)
I need this combo because Sigma sadly has no Sigma E-Mount version of this 35mm. This is quickly becoming my new most favourite lense. It is the newest of the three and I already love it and it is my go to photo lense by now. I heard so many good things about this lense and I am starting to see why. One thing I have to note: this lens is not really made for video (at least not with autofocus). The autofocus motor is relatively slow and super loud. So if you want to talk and have a mic on the camera? You are definitely going to pick up those nasty focusing sounds. Another downside that comes with this lens being so fast in terms of aperture: it's a heavy weight (with the adapter around 750g without the camera). Other than that, the quality is incredible. The colors are beautiful. The bokeh and sharpness - lovely.
On top of these lenses for my Sony A7ii, I also carry the GoPro Hero 5 and my iPhone. Those have fixed lenses so not much to talk there. Also the lenses of the GoPro and the iPhone are Primes (no zooming without quality loss). But overall very good quality.
In Conclusion: I love my primes. And sometimes I wish I had a zoom. But there is always a downside somewhere to anything.
