- In this video, I discuss what lenses to get for your Sony a7SIII, especially if you are switching over from Canon, Panasonic, Fujifilm, etc. Contrary to the MYTH that Sony E-mount glass is expensive, these are versatile and won't break the bank!
Here are the lenses I discussed:
Sigma 24-70 DGDN: amzn.to/2Ps2nvI
Tamron 28-75: amzn.to/33t3Fi6
Tamron 17-28: amzn.to/2Dz5cIO
Tamron 70-180: amzn.to/2Pr8255
Sony FE 35 f1.8: amzn.to/3fu58af
Sony 55 f1.8: amzn.to/2Xu5uaO
Sony 24mm GM: amzn.to/3i9yEE8
Sony 135GM: amzn.to/3icKUDP
Sony 85mm f1.8: amzn.to/2Dnja0y

Tell me what you think about these lenses? Which lenses did I missed that should have been here... Keep in mind I'm trying to keep the pricing low for the most part. 🤙🤙
Why no love for the Sigma 14-24?
@@buzzylogic that is a great lens too.. but I dont really have use for that focal length.. (right now)
The sigma 135 is a good alternative to the GM. But much heavier and backlit AF may be questionable at times
What do you think about the Sony 28-135mm F4.0 CineLens? I'm switching from A-Mount to E-Mount now and thought of getting the Tamron 17-28 F2.8 and the Sony 28-135 for my A7S III but im still not sure if i should buy the 28-135...

You are 100% right with what you said in the beginning. After that you showed exactly what I was looking for! Good overview.Thank you!
You are #1 in my book as the most useful photography resource for gear for serious photographers and videographers like myself. This was incredibly valuable.
Wow man thanks for the kind words 👍🙏🤙
@@nVuFilms What about using canon ef lenses on the sony a7siii? How well do those work with an adapter? All I have is canon glass...
Canon shooter here, and this was just the video I was looking for. About to make the switch to Sony and this helped out a lot! Thanks
Cool glad too help!
This is my switch!!! This video was clutch!! Thank you brodie! Just brought Sig 17-70 and I think my next is 17-28!!
🤙
As someone who’s seriously debating switching systems, this was a very helpful video, thank you!
Glad to have helped !
Yo honestly, you are one of the sony shooters that I am genuinely happy for, that the A7Siii finally came out !!!
Thanks bro 🤙🤙🤙
You my man are a LEGEND, Thanks so much for all the help. Keep killing it brother 👍
🙏🙏
Subscribed .. i needed this video so bad !! I’m getting the sigma 24-70!!
Thanks for watching
Extremely informative! I will keep watching!
Thanks
thank god i found this video!!so much info!
great video mate, exactly what I was looking for!
Awesome. Thanks for watching !!
Thank you for the video!
You nailed the intro 🔥 very true sold all my gear to buy Sony
Thanks Vu, much needed video since I am considering to go full Sony than the heat of the R5.
If you do, you are intelligent. Thanks for watching 😂🤙🤙
Good stuff! I own the two Tamrons (need that 70-180 next).....I have the 35 1.8 & 55 1.8 on permanent loan from a friend and wow great set right there! Super happy with it!! So I agree 100% with this video!!

This was comical and helpful thanks!
17-28 and 28-200 are my basics. 24GM and 85 f1.8 are my butter lenses. Can’t wait for the A7siii!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Vu, great images of indian wedding, loved that, very nice angles and Color grading. Greetz
Thanks brother
Great choices! One lens I would recommend also is the Sigma 70mm 2.8 Macro! That lens is super sharp and under rated!
Nice
You were literally speaking my language for the first couple of minutes and you've pretty much described my exact experience so far. I'm coming from the GH5. I was already planning on subbing at the end of the video but I had to pause it when you said "DN stands for... Deez nuts." and then just kept talking. Had to pause the video, like the video, subscribe, and type up this comment. So glad I found this channel hahaha
Lolol thanks for watching
HAHAHAHHAH FACTS, SAME
My first time moving to fullframe. I've been watching lens reviews since I preordered my a7sIII. Thanks!
No prob. Thanks for watching and hope it helps!
What's the word of apsc mode on the a7siii. Looks like the sigma 24-70 will be my first full-frame lens. Is my Sony 10-18 F4 usable on the a7siii for video?
@@racemode no. I don't think so. A7sIII doesn't have crop mode. (super 35 mode)
@@racemode actually maybe in 1080p
@@racemode 10-18mm is usable yes, but not very ideal on a fullframe camera. You will only be able to use the lens from 16 to 18mm, anything from 10 to 15mm will have serious vignetting. Sell the lens and buy the Tamron 17-28mm f2.8 lens instead.
As a novice this was exactly the video I wanted made thank you. Your last comedy video was absolutely hilarious by the way.
Thanks!!! 🙏🤙
Great video! Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Thanks for watching
Appreciate you a ton for this vid, been questioning which lens to get for CZcams. Answered almost all 🙏💪 btw, love that you’re Vietnamese bro!
Thanks for watching bro
Thanks for the video!! I am switching over from Canon and have a lot of glass... I purchased the A7Riv and have been happy with the MC11 for stills but need a couple for video. Looking at the Sigma 24-70.... again thanks!!
🤙🤙
Great video! I value your opinion. I’m still at a crossroads for the second zoom lens. I have the 24-70 gm but idk if I want to go wide or telephoto. I’m surprise you didn’t mention the sigma 14-24 which I think if I go wide, I’ll end up getting.
Solid choice
VU, love your work and your approach and perspective on making films. I finally moved over to the A7S III with the Sigma 24-70 DN zoom (an amazing combo no doubt) from the Fuji X-T4 as you did. I know that you did the same based upon our brief exchange about it months ago. Consequently, I have a request of you. I still have my Sigma 18-35 f1.8 and 50-100mm f1.8 zooms that I utilized with a Fringer Pro II EF to X adapter to great effect. Of course they're both apsc lenses but since I had them around I decided to try them out with the A7SIII 4k mode with the Sigma MC-11 adapter. Of course when I put 18-35 on I got the expected vignetting (no surprise there) which isn't a problem because my Sigma 24-70 covers me there. However, strangely enough when I tried the 50-100 with the MC-11 adapter on the A7SIII I noticed that at 1.8 all vignetting disappeared throughout the entire zoom range with the exception of barely noticeable vignetting zoomed all the way out to 50mm (quite usable at 50mm). I made sure that clear image zoom was off. Is there something i'm missing or am I just crazy? If by chance you have either of the lenses and the MC-11 (esp 50-100) could you check to see what. your results are? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks
Awesome 👍🏻 new sub here. Cheers from Western Australia
great video, thanks for this. QUESTION! hypothetically, if you put a sigma 18-35 1.8 on the sony a7s iii, CAN you shoot 4k Full Frame and just have to deal with the vignetting between 18-28mm or does Sony just cock block you and disable shooting APS-C lenses at 4k altogether? let me know! Thanks!
Agree with all your points but like to add I think it’s also worth mentioning that image stabilized lenses have their value. Unforunately only Sony seems to be able to offer that and at a premium. Sure, if you’re using a gimbal it’s not needed but for some natural looking hand held video and for stills, it makes a great difference. For example I’d pick the Batis 85mm 1.8 over an 85mm 1.4 with no IS.
Exactly what I was looking for. Planning to switch from Canon to Sony a7S III. Thanks!
Smart man ! 👀 🤙🤙
@@nVuFilms thanks! Quick question if you've got time - For photos, do you think the 2020 Sony full frame 12 megapixel sensor will be at least as good as (better than?) a 2010 18 megapixel Canon APS-C sensor? I currently have a Canon 7D (non-Mark II) purchased in 2010. I do about 60/40 video/photo now. Thoughts?

Dude you’re right about the switch to Sony being life changing. I was on canon and just got my a7siii a few days ago....never looking back
I joke around a lot but with Sony I'm dead serious bro 💯
Just curious, how long did it take for yours to come in? I recently purchased mine on backorder.
@@matthews.9343 a few months. I did the original pre order and didn't get it until late October
@@leestuart38 Thank you for the reply! 👍
Thank you for this very useful and timely video for those of us that are interested in the A7S III but don't come from the Sony system. And it is a somewhat confusing world to explore, FE E-mount lenses. Actually I was a bit surprised by the lack of alternatives and variety and the usual high prices. For instance, there is little choice regarding a "nifty fifty" lens, specially if one wants something light and small, no aberration, and good AF. Just a comment on your video: it would be easier to follow if you wrote the names and features of the lenses, as with all this new terminology it is hard to follow, at least for me.
🤙
Love your content! Subscribed! :)
🙏🙏🙏🙏thanks 🤙
Nice list! I picked up a 24-70 DN lens in March and haven’t been able to use since all events have been cancelled since, frustrating 🤪
Yea man I feel you
Does the Sony A7SIII auto focus work with a metabones converter for other glass? Like Cannon?
I am thinking between the 24-70 2.8 VS 24 GM and 55 Zeiss - what do you think of that combo in comparison to the zoom? Only thinking as I don’t really like zooms (not the quality, but the overall weight and size) and prefer the shallow look that primes can give.
what is the best medium zoom lens for sony a7s mark ii for autofocus in the video can you tell me please ??????
Awesome Work ✌️
Hi @Vu Nguyen I am looking to know if the catalyst browse stabilization works with all E-mount lenses (sigma, tamron) or only with Sony lenses ?
Only sony
I just want to ask sir, are all E Mount Type lenses works with A7s3 without any vignetting?
any love for the 90mm 2.8 macro? i understand its for "macro" but it seems to be a killer lens. i was thinking of one instead of the 85mm
Great video thanks
Np
So the sigma 24-70 and a telephoto say around 85mm is a good start for someone trying to buy his first lenses?
Realistic post. Subscribed.
Thanks 🤙🤙🤙
Great video bro - I am as far from a pro as you can find (Only CZcams). Loving my RX100 V and VII, moving from my main camera GH5 - probably going 16 - 35MM - I am a self shooter so I need that auto focus my GH5 is always searching....what do you recommend for the typical shot like you are shooting right now, I shoot mostly studio, head shots, etc..... B-roll the small Sony's rock for carry......Thanks bro . Subbed - thanks for the video!
Sigma 24-70
@@nVuFilms SWEEET thanks man - :)
No prob
For low pricing, try used sony a mount ssm lenses on the Lae3 adaptor. Use with adaptors were horrible when they were first launched. Now with the a7iii onwards, using them on the lae3 feels like using a native e mount lens with all features enabled.Sony zeiss 24-70 is really good as well, although heavier.
Really. Didn't know
bro you crack me up with the DN.. haha I pre-ordered the A7s III, but I'm not sure I'd give up the S1H since it matches my Amira and c500II pretty well. After about 30 years of manual focusing it's still hard for me to trust the C500II.
💯 🤙🤙
Is that 24-70 sigma lens a fe or e mount because at the end of the vid you spoke about not getting a e mount lens for this camera
It's fe
Hi man! Really helpful. If I'd have to pick just one lens for first few month's, which one would recommend to get: Tamron 17-28 or Sigma 24-70? For filming interviews, video courses, documentaries (filming people, b-rolls, some nature shots with music). Is 24-70 a way to go since it's more versatile or 17-28 will be enough for those kind of shots. Thank you!
24-70
WITCH IS THE BEST ZOOM LENS FOR VIDEO AUTOFOCUS PLEASE CAN YOU TELL ME?????
Helpful! Thanks! It’s so expensive tho
So my dilemma is I want to get the 24-70mm 2.8 but I am thinking it would be better to get the EF mount version and use the m-11 adapter so I can get the IS that the ef version has and have the ability to use that lens on the pocket 6k as well. You have any experience with the m-11 adapter and that lens by any chance?
Get the dgdn
Hey Vu, ever tried cine lens for the Sony body? Maybe like the rokinon or samyang. I've used them before for sony but can't really make a decision. Whether I need to invest in cine lens and a tilta nano or is it really not worth it for those wedding reception videos
Honestly I love autofocus for weddings, which is why I chose the glass I chose
Tamron 28-75 for events, weddings
Tamron 17-28 mostly for gimbal establishing shots
Zeiss 55 1.8 for low light or creamy portrait shots (when I want more bokeh then from tamron 2.8)
Sony 85 1.8 for Interviews oor creamy portrait shots (when I want more bokeh then from tamron 2.8)
all I have and all I need. :) Eventhough I might be switching to the the new sigma 85 1.4 if the bokeh is really creamy like the gm 85 1.4 and the video af is working better.
Cool
I picked up the sigma 24mm 1.4 and the sigma 50mm 1.4 for now. Will likely get a wide angle and 70-200 later on. I love video AF but I need manual focus to be good also and I'm not a fan of the fly by wire manual focus on most of the lenses.
cool
Very helpful video
Awesome thanks for watching 🤝🙏
This was an amazing video, super helpful. I want to get the Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art lens for my A7s iii but I’m concerned about the lack of stabilisation. I guess you use a gimbal for shooting vids?
A7siii active stabe mode works great. I do both handheld and gimbal
@@nVuFilms thanks for the info and the reply buddy, much appreciated
@@LukeMegBiking np
Surprised you did not discuss the Sony 20mm f1.8 G or the 85mm Zeiss Batis
Hey Vu. I had the tamron 28-75. Beautiful all rounder. No stabilisation. For video I then decided to get the 24-105 Sony G as a7iii has shit stabilisation. Even on a gimbal I found the extra stabilisation a fair difference. That said I miss the bokeh of the f2.8. I also have the GM 24mm like yours, love it for night shots. Wow. Bloody Sony can see in the dark with that lens. Anyway I just gave gave you these random comments. The reality is you probably wander why people even care to leave comments. Still it helps the old algorithm. 👍🏻
Good options but all expensive. I recommend the 17-28mm and 35mm - these should cover most of your needs.
Curious how important you'd say lens stabilization is when shopping for a lens for an A7Siii. Has their in body stabilization gotten so dope we don't even need to worry about lens stabilization? Specifically when filming without a gimbal. Got my eye on that Tamron 17-28 f/2.8, but if I'd be needing lens stabilization I guess it's just Sony's 16-35, which is only f/4.
Not very important
My experience: Sony for AF, But surprisingly the Panasonic GH5 for handheld Sensor stabilization, There is still nothing 'steady' like it in any brand, If you have it try not sell it.. I use both brands. colour between the two is matched if you reduce saturation during filming.
Would u recommend the 24 1.4 as your first lense... want something light for travel ? I like the 16-35 2.8 but it’s kinda bulky :/
yea
Hey Vu, what is your recommendations for a nifty fifty for A7IV?
Samyang 45. Sony 55. Sony 50 gm
What do u think about 24-105mmbfor A7S3 ?
f4 no go
Canon is more devious now: “ we are not crippling the camera it’s the laws of physics that’s causing overheating ...wink wink”. Glad I canceled my pre order for the Canon R5 and got the a7S3. BTW, I ordered the a7S3 within 15 minutes of being released from B&H and still got it backordered.

PoMan_911 too bad it didnt’ help me get mine faster, I wish more people would of cancel....I order 1 hour after released from Bh and backordered
I did it 5min after and Im listed as backorderd
@@screammachineman it's like that. You will know in the 24th
Do these have stabilization built into the lens? If so, will it talk to the Sony IBIS?
None of these have lens IS
Well,after Olympus and Panasonic g9, now a7iii and i think that i stick with Sony like for ever !!!
I have to question you something out of subject.. your sigma 24 70 are have any dust spots from inside after those months of use?????
No

Yo EXACTLY! The A7SIII is so good in low light. Thats why im going for the Sony 24-105 f4 instead of the sigma 2.8 cause i will have a longer range with 105

@@nVuFilms or you think i should go for the sigma? Heard people having issues with it... it just heavier and bigger too... lol im going crazy deciding but i think 75% sure for the sony
@@armando.visuals sigma
Hey I’m confused when I Googled what mount the Sony a7s iii is it said E mount however you said to stay away from the E ( mount) lens b/c they’re for APs/c cameras not full frame like the a7s iii; to make sure to buy the FE lens. Are the terms contextual
E-mount is one mount. When you buy a lens, e mount and fe mount fits the a7sIII. E-mount is apsc lens which is cropped. Fe mount is for full frame. It's the same mount, but for different sensor size. The standard e mount because it's crop lens will crop the footage from a7sIII causing a vignette.
@@nVuFilms wait....so don't buy the sigma e mount lenses???!!
Kindrick Brown Make sure to get the Full Frame e-mount lens from Sigma if you want to use the full sensor on the A7Siii. It’s written if it’s for Full frame or APS-C.
@@nVuFilms does this mean the footage on the sigma and tamron are cropped to aps-c?
@@liamwilson9821 no
If I could only get two out of three, which two should I get? Sony 20mm 1.8, tamron 17-28mm 2.8, or Tamron 28-75mm 2.8?
28-75 and 17-28 easy
PS . You should do another one of these but - what lenses for photography for the a7siii
Pretty much the same lenses lol

Dude you crack me up . What about adopting Canon lenses? I’m coming from canon. I have a bunch of L glass. Does auto focus still work great with an adapter?
Go all out emount
It’s a bummer the a7siii can’t use crop mode in 4K.

Real estate you need at least 17mm wide
@@nVuFilms No big deal to not have a 12-16 mm range included for this type of video?
I have the following three Samyang lenses with autofocus from the Tiny series 18mm.f.2.8 and 45mm.f.1.8 plus 75mm.f.1.8, they are small and do not weigh very much and they are cheap, plus the image quality is also good. I also know that not many people consider Samyang as a serious manufacturer for Sony FE-mount (can of course also be used for Sony E-mount), but they are wrong, so maybe more people should look at Samyang when considering a purchase of a lens .....
