24-70mm f/2.8 lenses are the workhorses of many genres in the industry, combining a useful focal length range with a nice maximum aperture for a zoom lens. If you do not need that f/2.8 aperture, though, f/4 versions offer the same versatility in a smaller package and at a much lower cost. The Sony FE 20-70mm f/4 G embodies that and offers an even more versatile focal length range, making it quite desirable for a huge range of applications. This excellent video review takes a look at the lens and the sort of image quality and performance you can expect from it in usage.
Coming to you from Dustin Abbott, this great video review takes a look at the new Sony FE 20-70mm f/4 G lens. It is important to not underestimate the amount of versatility that extra 4mm adds at the wide end. 24mm offers 84.1 degrees across the diagonal, but 20mm offers 94.5 degrees, a significant increase. For people like landscape and architectural photographers, who do not need that f/2.8 aperture, having that extra compositional flexibility makes it a unique and desirable option for a lot of applications. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Abbott.
