In this video I will be covering in detail the NEW Sony FE 24-50mm f/2.8 G Lens in detail using my Sony A7C2 as the full frame camera body of choice….

For me this lens is exciting because it covers a wide range of focal lengths that I use most often such as 24mm, 35mm, and 50mm which are all go-to focal lengths for various tasks.

For example I use 24mm for wider angle landscape photography, street photography, and gimbal vlogging type recording. 35mm I tend to use more for subjects such as food and products, but it can also work great for street and portrait work. 50mm is fantastic for Portraits and getting that magic background butter, especially when you get close to your subject which this lens can do very well offering a .3X Magnification…
