Don't buy both of these!!! Sony 20-70mm F4 vs 24-105mm F4

Wonder if I already have the Sony 24 to 240mm that the 20 to 70mm might be a better option for me?

For me most of the Fotos are in 35-105 so this is not a question. In Germany the 24-105 is cheaper than the other lens. the 20-70 is optically better but has some more digital correction. On a 60MP Sony you can crop the 20-70 so you have 105 if you need it by losing some resolution but not sharpness. the 20-70 is more compact and is sharper and more contrasty. 24-105 has OSS which has advantages for filming. However, when using super35 it is not wide enough. I will go for the 33MP body with the 24-105. and use a 16-28 for the wide part.

Thoughts: Tamron 17-70 2.8 APSC lens on an FX3 would give you would give you an equivalent of a 25.5-105mm 2.8 lens??!!

I want to like this video but, the 666 number is so perfect!

The old Zeiss zoom footage looked better than the new Sony 20-70...

Great info thank you 🙏

Hey, love your content! Wbats this website you are using to see the prices?

Good video, but you didn't mention weight unless I missed that part. I have the 24-105 and it's a heavy beast. The 20-70 looks smaller so is probably lighter.

Ive had the the Sony 24-70 4 for docu style shooting and there have been so many times where i just needed a little extra reach (aside from clear image zoom)
I wish i had the Sony 24-105 4

This lens suitable for apsc camera
Fx30.. ?

The 24-105mm is more versatile.

👍😄👍

why should anyone buy both of these? they are almost the same. Is this a joke i dont get?

great job buddy I concur with your assessments I paired my 24-105 with my A7IV along with my 50mm 1.2GM that's probably 90% of my shots

I had the 24-105, the Sigma 24-70 and just got the 20-70 F4. To me is the best of them all for traveling.

Ithe 24-105 t's not as sharp as a prime but it's a perfect street portrait lens, 85 to 105 is perfect for portraits

有 FE 24-105 F4 II

I use my a7III's 99% for photography, and have been very happy with the 24-105 as my all-purpose lens. Maybe if I was just getting into the game I would consider the new lens, but I have the Sigma 14-24 F2.8 for when I need a wider field of view.

Ive been shooting the 24-105 on my A7R2 for about 2 years now and it's absolutely amazing! Not only does it take great photos but Its a fantastic Video shooter! I love that lens so much it's tough to put my new Sony 85mm 1.8 which is great too on my camera lol...just goes to show you how awesome Sony is at making these premium lens ....great video bro

Really hope there will be an FE 24-105 F4 II with XD motors, improved optics, and aperture ring. OSS is what I want for the FX6.

Thanks for this video sir, I'm from India, searching in my language (Tamil) there was no more clear video like this, I'm managed with the subtitles and you clearly explained the Len's and the cost of both Len's like 24-70 f2.8, 24-105 f4 & 20-70 f4, I had no idea abt oss, am planned to take 24-70 f2.8 its even costly, but finally Im end with an idea that, go with 24-105 f4 G & buy if we need wider Len's like in Tamron Len's, its more worth then having an single lens that(24-70 f2.8)... Thank you, am subscribed to ur channel after this comment, Love from India❤🇮🇳

What about comparing the 20-70mm f4 to Tamron’s 20-40mm f/2.8?

Hi , have you tried Tamron 20-40 f2.8
It's lightest and fastest len can capture beautiful footages of wedding.

Don’t buy either, pick up the Tamron 28-200 f2.8-5.6.

Thanks for the comparison Jason, amazing video! Makes me feel better about my Sony 24-105 F4 :D
Although I mostly use the 35 1.4 GM I still keep the 24-105 F4 as an allrounder with me. Despite F4 24-105 is still the jack of all trades and the master of none zoom focal length in my opinion.

I ALSO SEE THAT LOWER EYELIDS OF MOST OF THE MEMBERS OF SONY ALPHA FAMILY ARE SWOLLEN AND THEIR EYES ALWAYS LOOK TIRED. ARE THEY EXPERIENCING THE EYESTRAIN TOO?

Well bro I've done it sold all my lumix gear and pulled the trigger in a Sony A7sIII :)

My mathematics sucks - and I am asian.... made my day. Thanks.

Really appreciate this comparison, especially from a content creator that promotes new products. It’s sooo refreshing to hear someone say that you dont really need this “new” gear if you are using something already that works. There will be some folks that want that wide 20mm, but most will be just fine with the 24. Thx for all u do!!

Weight is the issue for many.

Funny thing about the price in Hungary (Europe) is, that you can get the Sony 24-105mm F4 AND the Sony 20mm 1.8 for the price of the Sony 20-70mm F4.
Who is going to buy one lense if you can get two for the same price and get better range and performance?! That's just insane.

I’ve got the 24-105 f/4 and the 20-70 on order and I might just keep both of them. The 24-105 is a great all around lens on my FX6 due to the stabilization, like you said.

I feel like the new 20-70mm F/4 lens is more for videographers than photographers. That wide angle shot can help out with cropped mode and active steady-shot. I would rather use the 20-70mm lens since its newer and has a liner motor compare to the 24-105mm direct motor. I'm also not sure if OSS works together with the camera because when testing it out, I didn't notice any changes to the videos. Sony's camera already has 5.5 steps of ibis, adding a lens with OSS should add 1 more step to it to make it at least 6.5 steps of ibis. For sure on non-ibis cameras like a6400 and FX6, the OSS will help greatly. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with either lenses and will just depend on your needs. Having that extra 71-105mm reach is great for both photo and video compare to an extra 4mm in the wide section.

I own both the 24-105 and the 20mm f1.8. I love the idea of the xd linear motors for focus, edge to edge sharpness and the best in class focus breathing compensation. However, I am really debating to get the 16-35 pz or perhaps the 14mm G Master first. Oh and I’m interested in real estate videography. I am leaning towards the 16-35. What do you think? I am more video focused than anything else.

Thanks for the video! Exactly the one that I have been waiting for! Cheers!👍

"My mathematics sucks and I'm Asian." I definitely feel you on that 😂

I have the Canon R6 Mark II and R7. I’m heavily debating on switching to either an A7SIII and A7IV or two A7IVs. I’m tired of Canon limiting their cameras and lenses and want the greatest low light and dynamic range performance. What would you recommend I do? Switch to Sony or stick to my current cameras?

Great comparison, thanks for sharing all the great info👍🏽

Sony please build a 20-60mm f2.8!!!!

I think this 2 lens don't need to be compared. Not the same. 24-105 f4 g 2 comes this year. That will be better than the old one, they can be compared. Moreover I think 24-105 f4 will always be an all round lens, moreover oss is better than active stabilization which gives you a crop, so 20mm won't be 20mm on your 20-70 f4 g lens.

Sigma 24-70 is also a great option and cheaper than all of these

Thanks for this video! Great info!

nice video, can we have another one about 20-70 vs Tamron 28-200?

How cheap are these lenses in Australia 😂😂can’t believe it. 😬

Great review Jason!
