And I have the 24mm if you are looking for that insteadThink it’s time to splash out in the baby Samyang!

If you want the 35 I have one.
How much? Age/condition?

How much are you thinking of selling it for? And how come your selling it? Have been tempted to get one, but not looked to much yet in to how they are etc yet, other than the size appealing
Without resorting to the G Master lenses, what are the best Sony FE zoom options in the 24-70mm ish range?
Cheers,
Simon.
28-70 seems ok to be honest! Small, light, made of plastic but feels better built than a lot of kit lenses. Zoom is tight and foucs is snappy.
If you need to upgrade but can't stretch to G Master prices... the £749 Tamrom 28-75mm f2.8 Di III RXD seems to get good reviews.28-70 seems ok to be honest! Small, light, made of plastic but feels better built than a lot of kit lenses. Zoom is tight and foucs is snappy.

Don't use the range much - so probably just get teh 35mm Samyang, unless the Sony one is THAT much better?!
Sony 24mm f1.4, Sigma 24mm f1.4 and 35mm f1.4 and 55mm f1.8 just for comparison.

The Sigma hood will make it look bigger.
I hadn't realised that the Sony was so much more than the Sigma but looking at the cost v bulk of these I doubt very much I'll be buying either.

I couldn’t bring myself to part with all my MFT gear. I’ve kept my E-m1 Mkii and the 60mm Macro lens for just the purpose of macro. It’s exactly as you describe, fast and light plus small so ideal for macro and nothing else Sony has for macro comes close enough in terms of features for me to make the change.I like the MFT stuff as it's incredibly fast and compact for what it's capable of so I can't see myself selling it anytime soon. Still undecided on the A7III.

"The Sony 24 1.4 GM lens looks fantastic, has a manual aperture dial that can be “de-clicked” and is pretty small for a lens of this type. At $1399 it is also cheaper than the Canon and Nikon though more pricey than the Sigma. It beats them all on paper, but IMO each of these lenses offer up a little bit different kind of style and character. The Sony has no real “character” to speak of and is a little bit “sterile” even but this lens is for the perfectionists. Even with only a couple hours of using this lens, I can easily recommend it. It is a G Master after all, Sony’s top of the line, so how can you go wrong?"
And may they always be for you and others.I shot a recent commercial video with a good friend down in a mine(I was extremely careful with my body and lens). His camera and 70-200/16-35 got completely drenched, this was consistent literally from 10am until almost 6pm
His camera still works perfectly fine. I also know another wedding videographer and his A7 gets totally drenched all the time and it still works fine
I think the weather sealing "issues" are nonsense

On the flip side of the coin the videographer at my last wedding killed his A7RIII at a wedding a couple of weeks before in just normal rain. He was insistent that water gets in via the hotshoe although from what I had seen online seemed to suggest the battery door was the weak point.
We both used battery gripsIt's the battery door that's the weakest point

Put a L Bracket or a grip on it which should shields it a little.
I have a wedding tomorrow, it's forecast to chuck it down in the afternoon, wish me luck.
If both goes pop, I have two 5D4 to take over
I'm considering buying a used A7II from WEX to go with my EM5MKII. They have one in at a reasonable price but it has some screen delamination. Is this a big problem with these cameras, is it fixable?
Had the grip on lad. Always use the wee plastic protector on the flash mount

It looks good to me also....Character looks good to me.

You’re not short on the camera front then!
