In this video, Jason Pierce compares three popular Sony lenses—the 20mm f/1.8 G, the 35mm f/1.4 GM, and the 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II—to determine which is best for different shooting scenarios.

The Contenders
Sony 20mm f/1.8 G: * Regarded as having "G Master quality" in a more affordable and compact form factor [00:43].

Pros: Razor-sharp optics, excellent color science that is easy to edit in post [01:52], and a wide focal length that works well in tight spaces [05:15].

Best For: Vloggers and talking-head content [12:12].

Sony 35mm f/1.4 GM:

A high-end prime lens often praised for storytelling, though the creator found it a bit too "punched in" for his style [05:43].

Pros: Excellent for low-light photography [03:01].

Cons: Heavy focus breathing and occasional "pulsing" or stuttering during autofocus in video [03:25]. The colors require more manual tweaking in post-production [04:40].

Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II:

The "one lens that does it all" for both photo and video [07:54].

Pros: Crystal clear optics, minimal focus breathing (even without compensation turned on) [08:29], and incredible versatility for street, travel, and YouTube content [07:44].

Best For: Hybrid shooters who want a future-proof, "all-in-one" solution [12:35].

The Verdict
If forced to pick only one, the creator chooses the 24-70mm GM II because of its versatility and superior performance in video [08:20]. However, for those strictly vlogging, he highly recommends the 20mm G [12:03].
