[Sony 16-35 GM2]

Hi everyone...any new rumour about 16.35 GM2? 

[I want to buy and intervelometer. Which one should I get?]

Hi, I am using apps instead "fiscal" intervalometer. I don't like "image edge mobile", so I am using Camrote (www.comrote.app)

16-35 is a very versatile zoom range. But the image quality should be better on your 20 G. I recently sold my 16-35 GM (in anticipation of the GM2) and have the 12-24GM and 24-70GM2. On a recent trip, I definitely missed the versatility of the 16-35, but am much happier with the improved image quality that I get with the newer lenses. 

yes, I think that I will wait for the 16-25 GM2...thank you¡

[Sports Photography High School]

As always...depends on your budget. I think that A9 (I or II) are very good for sports. I have de A1 and is amazing too. 

Always the 70-200 will be very good, but I think that for football you will need something else like 200-600. 

[Using the widest aperture on fast primes]

I have 50mm F1.2 and is amazing¡¡ Is true that in low light situations that aperture is very useful. But for portraits, is a very good tool too. Is not easy but I like it. 

In the other hand, the quality of the image is superb, also with "normal apertures". I believe that this lenses are much better in terms of the lens like itself....I don't know if you understand my idea. I like the wide aperture for portraits, but also the quality of the product (lens).

[GPS on Alpha 1]

Hi every one.

My old Alpa 99 had gps, and was great. Now with the alpha 1 you need to be connected to your cell phone or some apps to get that info. Any suggestions to have an easy solution for this?

Seems that APA works in Canada....www.apainsuranceservices.com

 

[Long lens...]

For me personally, it was the 200-600, for the maximum focal length reach. The reason and way I built my gear line up was due to what I had first and to cover all focal lengths without overlap. I started with 70-200, then 24-70, then 200-600, then 12-24mm to essentially cover the spectrum of 12-600mm adding on the 2.0x TC I can cover up to 1200mm add on crop I think ~1600mm

and in terms of quality image?

[Long lens...]

If you need only one: 200-600 f 5.6-6.3 or 100-400 f 4.5 - 5.6?

[Wide lenses]

For everyday and street shooting I like 50mm 1.2...works very good for me.

[What do you expect for the second generation of 16-35 GM?]

fast focusing too

Hi Luis, unfortunately I can't make a recommendation. However I hope my experience and findings below help:

While I was searching for photography equipment insurance a while ago, I found insurance through PPA's (Professional Photographers of America) membership which is administered by Lockton Affinity. Not sure if they cover internationally.

I found another insurance by APA, which covers international (however I never used them before):

thank you¡

[SONY GM 70-200 2.8 II o SONY GM 135MM 1.8]

70-200 will be always a must. But, 135mm is an amazing option. When I had A mount, I used 70-200mm, and was a very good experience. Now I moved to E mount and I choose only work with prime lenses, and I loved¡¡

I'm personally waiting for the new 16-35mm GM. I'm assuming it will be lighter and more responsive than the current one. I have the 14mm 1.8 GM lens, and that focal length is too wide for my needs. So to cover a wide angel range that suits my work I chose the 16-35mm. Not to mention the bulbous front element on the 12-24 makes me uncomfortable and too protective to use it properly.

One question thought, why are you not happy with your 20mm G lens? Could you give us some reasons why either one those 2 zooms is better for your workflow than the 20mm.

I don't like too much the image quality. Is light, very comfortable the size for travel, but I feel that the image quality is better on 12-24 or 16-35. 

[Why did you go Sony?]

I came from Minolta...then a99 and now A1. 

[Sony 16-35 f2.8 or Sony 12-24 f2.8?]

I heard a rumor there may be a 16-35mm GM 2 soon! Hopefully they will update the motors 😄

I heard sane rumor, but I think that will be not for this year….

[Sony 16-35 f2.8 or Sony 12-24 f2.8?]

It all depends on your needs, I tend to use my 12-24mm more than my 16-35mm for landscapes. Otherwise I use my 24-70/2.8 GMII

It’s for landscape and astrophography

[Sony 16-35 f2.8 or Sony 12-24 f2.8?]

Hi Luis, I currently have the 12-24mm F2.8 and I think it is a really fantastic lens with sharpness throughout the range. At the 12mm length you're able to capture more in your image without having a major curved distortion if you are taken a photo a horizontal level and not aiming upwards or downwards.

In retrospect I wish I would have gotten the 16-35mm because of the extra zoom range near the 35 for composition reasons. 

On my 24-70mm I often find myself zooming towards 30mm range for composition. Personally for my situation, I think a 16-35mm would be a nice replacement for a 12-24mm and 24-70mm  

thank you for you thoughts.

Hi Everyone,

 

I want to buy a grand angular lens. I have Sony 20mm f1.8 but I am not happy with it. Any comments about this two lenses?
