These 3 new compact G lenses from Sony are small and light weight lenses that I will be using on the Sony A7C camera body. We have:
G 24mm f2.8
G 40mm f2.5
G 50mm f2.5
Watch my real world review video below to see how these 3 lenses perform out in the field with 100% crop, unedited photo examples at a portrait photoshoot. I share video autofocus tests of each lens and compare these 3 compact lenses to other lenses in a similar price and size range. I compare the G 24mm f2.8 to the Tamron 18mm f2.8, 24mm f2.8 & 35mm f2.8 compact lenses the Samyang 18mm f2.8. I also compare the G 40mm f2.8 to the Fujifilm 23mm 1.4 and for the G 50mm f2.5 the closest lens I have tried in the past is the Zeiss 55mm f1.8.

The 105mm focal length is really interesting to me and I personally love what it looks like. For this photoshoot, I knew I wanted a really dreamy look to the photos so I organised this photoshoot for the late afternoon so we could have that nice, soft sun for our lighting. I also chose this location so we can capture as much bokeh as possible!

The Olympus AF-1 Twin features a dual lens system so that you can switch between a 35mm wide-angle lens and a 70mm telephoto lens at the touch of a button - essentially like phone cameras except well, that it shoots 35mm film. Surely it inspired the iPhone camera system right?
This has got to be one of the cheapest autofocus lenses available for Canon DSLR cameras, I picked up mine used for about $30 USD. The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is a compact and affordable prime lens offering a wide aperture for low-light shooting and creative depth of field control aka bokeh! This is a great lens for beginners and gives a very budget friendly entry into DSLR photography. These are the photos I captured with it.
The Nikon NIKKOR Z 135mm f1.8 S Plena is a high-performance medium-telephoto prime lens designed for Nikon's Z mount mirrorless cameras. This 135mm f/1.8 S Plena Lens produces high quality images with beautiful clarity and sharpness.
The Sony A7RIV is a full frame, 61 megapixel camera for stills and video. The Sony A7RIV weights 665g and shares the same sensor as the newer A7RV. The Sony FE 135mm f1.8 GM is known for its exceptional sharpness, fast autofocus, and beautiful bokeh, making it a favourite among portrait, wedding and event photographers, as well as those who shoot video or need a fast telephoto prime.
During this photoshoot, I’m using the Sony A7IV paired with the Samyang 24-70mm f2.8 zoom lens. This zoom lens gives me a lot of flexibility while shooting as it allows me to capture both wide and tight compositions without changing lenses. This is especially helpful is fast paced environments or when taking photos on a time crunch. While taking portraits, I’m also sharing a few of my go to composition tips for working with a standard zoom like this.
I spent a morning doing landscape photography around Lake Bled in Slovenia using the Sony A7IV with the GM 35mm f1.4 lens.
The Sony G 24-50mm f2.8 is a small and lightweight standard zoom lens for Sony E mount. It weighs 440 grams and paired with it’s focal range, makes this is a great all-rounder lens for photography and videography.
