Every other youtubers has been comparing the Sigma 50 1.2 to the Sony 50 f1.2, finally, someone make the comparisons for the 2 sigmas...Thank you !
Thanks for watching!
I always thought the 1.4 is too big for it's spec. Now I see they were practicing for the 1.2.
Is a great lens, but its twin here finished strong.
Great video and comparisons. It was cool to see the effects!
Glad you liked it!
I really enjoyed your video- thanks! But beyond enjoyment; it also settled my quest for my next portrait lens: I've been considering the Sigma DG DN 85mm f1.4 and the Zeiss Batis; but you've given me the extra "push" to get this one. My heart also lies with the 50's. I started off as a student, with a Pentax ES II and a Takumar SMC 50mm f1.4 and that has established the way I approach compositions. I'm a total nerd when it comes to shooting flowers, close up and creating "impressionist" bokeh and this lens will enable me to shoot much more than just portraits with it.
That 85mm 1.4 is my other clear favorite lens, but there's just SOMETHING about this new 50 that makes my heart love it more. Maybe I'll feel differently if Sigma ever makes an 85mm 1.2?
@@heatherlarkin Yes- that would be magical! I've switched to Sony a few years ago; but I still keep my Nikon D850 and its 105mm f1.4 lens. That lens has pixie dust! I imagine a good 85mm f1.2 would do the same.. Anyway, I share your passion for macro photography too!
Pleasant presentation, keep up the good work. (I’m a gear nerd too but with the Nikon system) cheers
Awesome, thank you!
I’ve always found Sigma lenses to give the best bokeh. I certainly love Sony GM lenses for their clinical look, but Sigma has a certain look that I prefer.
They're quite artistic!
Great video! Subbed!
Thank you!
Well done! Can't wait for the Fuji X version.. 🙂
Thanks!!
Why only 1080p? 😢
Uh oh….. might need to drop some money on this one…. Great video Heather!
You totally do! It is absolutely absolutely glorious.
I have the 24 and 85 1.4. I thought they would fit the need for family photos indoors but I run out of space with the 85 indoors and don’t like the distortion with the 24. I use the 30 1.4 (45 ff eq) on my crop bodies the most often. Maybe I’ll pick up the 50 1.2 to try.
It's a great choice!
Great video & comparison. The 1.2 is absolutely stunning 🤩
Totally agree!
Very nice video ! This is what I looking for a video about the minimum distance because it can make a more versatile lens .
Glad it was helpful!
Great video…I am curious if you ever compared the sigma and sony 8mm 1.4? I have had the Sony forever, but am so hoping someone comes out with an 85mm 1.2. It is time!
I haven't, sorry!
Wow. Great review. I want one. Liked. Subscribed. Commented. I have the Sony e mount 28 mm and 40 mm 1.4 HSM lenses. And I have 85 mm 1.4 DGDN lens. I'm very interested in one of these 50 mm 1.2 lenses to replace my huge 40 mm 1.4.
Thanks for the sub! It's a lovely lens, my new fave.
Stunning!
What a great lens and a GREAT price! Way less then what I paid for my 50mm 1.2 Nikor
It's so lovely!!
Hi, dear!!!! AWESOME!
Thank you! Cheers!
I actually thought the 1.4 more than held it’s own. I would be curious of comparison of portraits of people full body and waste up… Maybe I’m a biased because I have a Canon version art lens 😎📷
The 1.4 is lovely, I just find the 1.2 prettier. ❤️
@@heatherlarkin I can appreciate your thoughts, I would definitely like to see the comparison on portraits. Which will obviously come in the future.
Have you tried the Sony GMs?
The F1.4 beats the Sigma in most regards, except for price.
The F1.2 beats the Sigma slightly regarding chromatics & corners, but costs a lot more and is heavier.
A lens that was a joy to use for me was a Nikkor Z24-70 F2.8 and the Nikkor Z85, for weird reasons: the Nikkor 85 was light, compact, and sharp, yet had a busy but enjoyable bokeh, and the 24-70 for the sound it made when zooming in and out.
Sadly I didn't try the GMII lenses yet, but I wish I will one day. And I am eager to see what Sigma offers next.
I prefer the SIGMA ones, but the Sonys are good too.
Me alegro que exista… nos puedo pagarlo😅
Photography is never cheap!
@@heatherlarkin never say never jajajaja
Thanks 4 this video,. However, if any of you has purchased the 50mm F1.4, I didn't see any reason to go out and buy the F1.2 version. In reality BOTH are awesome lenses
It's all personal opinion. Both are lovely lenses, but I think the 1.2 is better.
1.4 seems sharper
Must be video because I'd say the 1.2 is sharper.
Would have been nice to see some portraits. I don't shoot flowers.
Portraits in my other video about it. ❤️
where can we see@@heatherlarkin

Nice video. You probably haven't had the opportunity to try the Leica Summilux-SL 1:1.4/50 ASPH., for me the best artistic “50” ever. Of course, the price is a little different.😊
Yes very different on the price, I would imagine!
the difference is....500 Euro
And a whole lot more! ❤️
