after viewing this... i seriously consider it :/ I love my Sigma 35mm - but I will look for more information about the GM *sigh* :D thanks for the sweet teasing
I avoided buying any lenses for over a year - that changes as soon as this bad boy is released. This one is a game changer and a must own for me. 35mm is the PERFECT walkaround focal length, and Sony figured out a way to give us a lens that isn't a brick for daily use. Great review.
I just picked up the 35 f1.8 for Christmas and now wondering if I should return it for this one. I wanted something small and lighter than my 24-70 f2.8 for street and travel shooting. Love that this lens is sharp wide open.
More options are always good. I personally have the 35mm 1.8 already so I don't think I will be upgrading, even though I love the focal length. You should do a video on a comparison on all the 35mm out there.
hey Jason, can you update/redo the "ULTIMATE BUYING GUIDE Sony Full Frame Camera - a7II a7RII a7SII a7III a7RIII a9" cuz now the a9II is out, and things like that, and if we should wait to buy the new a7IV or just get a different camera
@@JasonVong Everything (or most things) you like about it and don’t. I have a 6300 and was thinking of a upgrade to a full frame but, not sure if I should get the A7C or one of the A7R series?
@@KwesiMangata Also, I hear very little about people who are going from sony APSC to the A7C. Most of the initial reviews just cover it versus A7iii and Siii. Would appreciate if we can get a shoutout to the APSC users 😀
@@yuanzofficial thanks! Maybe I just need a lens upgrade as I’m using the FE 50mm/1.8 but not happy with the low light capabilities. Maybe one of the sigma trios would do like a 30mm/1.4 or a 56mm/1.4
Traditionally, for stills, both 24 and 35 would favor the environment as it tells a story about where the subject is. 50mm is more of a balanced emphasis (neither here nor there yet it is the most versatile prime focal length. 85 and greater is more about who the subject is rather than where the subject is. Popular prime lens kits usually include either a combination of 24, 50 and 135 or 35 and 85.
yeah that's pretty subjective My prime kit set uses a 24mm a 50mm and an 85mm. Having used 35mm a lot I just don't like it that much. I love 24, 50 and 85. I'd say 24 favours environment, 85 favours subject and 50mm is in between
@@AnxiousEducatorI have a 50 and 85. I was looking at either 24 or 35 but not sure which. 35 is more affordable to me right now but worried it’s too close to 50. Any feedback?
@@iamhollywood555 I'd get the 35 since it's more affordable. If you need a landscape lens the 35 will work for that, you just need to get further back.
Thanks Jason, really enjoy your videos. I have recently decided to take my journey into photography more seriously and I have the Sony 20-70mm F4 and often shoot at 35mm. I’m looking to buy my first prime lens and want just one that I will use for ever. It will be for some landscape but mostly portrait and street photography. This has been really helpful in making the decision to save up for a lens that will spend a lot of time on my camera
@@dikasochirin sure! the main problem I’ve noticed is the weather sealing isn’t the best, mine has collected quite a bit of dust in it compared to my other lenses, nothing that would ruin image quality but it bothers me when I glance into it. Also, it’s quite disproportionate for a mirrorless, a very large 50mm indeed. Lastly, the autofocus is quite loud, and it has a smooth metallic texture that is much less scratch resistant than the textured metal of G-masters. All nit-picks, other than that it has the best image quality I’ve seen from a prime other than the 135 g-master.
Great Review! Around the 4:40 mark, you mentioned that the 24mm GM missed out on the new focusing system, but it seems like that isn't the case according to some other sources. Thanks again for the in-depth review on this awesome lens!
The last time I was shooting Sony I was using the Sigma 35/1.2 and loved the image quality, but it was an absolute tank. This lens might be bringing me back to a 35mm prime. I'm not totally impressed with the 35/1.8.
I have both lenses and the Tamron is very close when shooting wide open at f2. It’s an awesome lens. The 35mm GM is stellar at all focal lengths and is much easier to carry around. As far as video, i’m getting way better active steady shot and breathing compensation on my Sony A7IV. The GM will also be awesome when I finally get a Sony A7RV. The 61mp will definitely show the difference in both.
Really good info on the focusing system, thanks for that. So a 35mm is in the sony line up...but do i need one if i already have a 24gm.... I feel like no, but do you have a take?
@@Inthecutae yes, I also use it every day for my zoom calls, usually about 3 ft away focus is best at about 10 inches hit or miss any closer than that for dynamic video
Nice can't wait until it comes out. I noticed your GM zoom at 6:36 has a bit of bubbling on the back end on the zoom ring. I had this happen to my 24-70 GM and had it serviced by Best Buy under warranty. They replaced the zoom ring at a local camera repair center. Would you happen to know if being a part of Sony Pro Support fixes problems like this? The zoom ring gets warped due to extreme differences and changes in weather.
I would love to hear your thoughts comparing it to the 40mm Zeiss Batis. And also, other than depth of field, how big is the difference really in low light conditions between F2 and F1.4. That kind of review like at a concert would be fantastic! :)
It’s a one stop difference, so double the light. I don’t think you’ll use this lens for fiction or commercials, but it is unusable for anything like that, every time you focus the frame zooms, it’s called breathing, and it’s the worst I’ve seen from any lens.
I only do concerts. Mainly wide-shots. But basically only low-light. And I wonder how much difference in the aperture one stop really makes. Is there a way to calculate that?
Great! Now seeing this gem out I can't unsee the lack of a 24mm 1.8 G lens, lighter and heaper than the hero GM version and making a great company with the upcoming 16mm 1.8, as the 20mm is not everyone's taste
Hello Jason! AN absolute fan of your videos! Great job! I had a question, been considering getting an a7c for the updated color science, improved autofocus and no video record limit ( stills basically the same as a7iii) but my only concern is the handing of a7c. Are the 85mm and 35mm and 24mm lens small enough that we can grip the a7c without rubbing the hands ??? Thanks you!
New Year, New Gear? 😆 Who's picking up this bad boy?
Not with my wallet

@@Inthecutae depends what kind of video. if you're vlogging, you want something wide.
Preordered right after watching your video! Super happy that it has the same fast focus as the 135 mm 1.8 GM lens!!!!!
God bless you man, always look forward to seeing your content. Hope you two are staying safe!
I preordered and confirmed that I will have a unit. Can’t wait. Will be using on a7C.
Just picked this bad boy up. Absolutely incredible lens. Goes perfectly with the A7C.

Same!
yeah especially the focus breathing on this lens
Can you get close up shots with the 24?
I love the XD motors on the Sony lenses. I’m on to this lens when it arrives
Just pre-ordered and waiting...

Are some of these shots from Spokane?
Man, your videos really make me miss Pasadena. Love the content; it has helped me immensely!
Nice content as always! Jason !
Great review as always. I traded the 1.8 version for the 1.4 version because the focal length is sooo perfect for just about everything

I'd like to see a comparison of image quality between the 35 zeiss and the 35 gm.
Gerald Undone did a short comparison on his video
Awesome review Jason. Happy New Year to both of you !
Why do I even watch these videos when I only use kit lenses?
Same reason why I watch pornhub but only sleep with my wife. It’s camera porn.
You will one day
To learn bro
😂😂 Holly Shit bad lens
holdng out for the 50gm
And here I am with my 35mm 2.8. I still like it though. Even more compact!
Pancake!
I regret selling the 35 2.8 all the time. I loved the size
Yes already got the sony 20 1.8, & zeiss 85
hell yeah #TEAMBATIS
I don’t shoot Sony (yet) ......but I LOVE YOU. You crack me up bro. That jump into “balls” was hysterical. Keep it going man. Love your work. 😃🥰
this rocked thank you for the rundown
Really hope that a 50mm is next, I love the Zeiss but it has its problems

You should have a look at the Samyang 35mm f1.8 as well, it is a beautiful lens
What about focus breathing for video? I heard it’s pretty bad. Thoughts?
I had the 24 GM and it was such a great lens. I was waiting for the 35 GM and finally i ordered it.

Hi Jason, I would love to get this new lens!
do you know is Sony will be coming out with a GM 50mm 1.4?
50GM 1.2 is available now

Jan 14th on BH
Looks like a winner
The puns, bruh. This deserves like 6 million thumbs up. Love your stuff as usual

It is so magic, light, fast and sharp.
How does this compare to the 1.8 Sony 35? Resolution, contrast, chromatic aberration?
this is such a well made video and very informative, thanks dad :)
Oh my! I think I need this. Please tell me if its worth swapping the 24 GM for
No
No. And honestly if you’re using the 24 for film, it gets cropped with active steadyshot @ around 1.1x, getting you 26.4mm
Good review - you Rock!
Between this and the 20-70mm f4 for my first lens on the 7ac ii
Thoughts?
Definitely buying this, time to sell up my current 35
Is this lens better than the Zeiss one for image quality?
Does that shot of the Tamron 17-70 APS-C lens hint at a review coming? Or comparison to the 16-55 G?
Plz compare with Sigma f/1.4 Dg HSM Art Lens.
