Hey everyone!! First up I want to say a big thank you to Sony Australia for getting this 35mm in my hands early so I can have this video up for you guys. Today we're doing a first look of this GM 35mm f1.4 from Sony, testing out the autofocus, Dan and I do a little photoshoot of each other, we take a look at 100% view unedited sample photos, look for lens flares, test out the bokeh, chromatic aberration and a little comparison with the Zeiss 35mm f1.4 as well!
Let me know what you think of this lens and the photos down in the comments. I'm SO excited to use it again this week at a portrait photoshoot to test it out some more - video coming soon!

Thank you for watching! xx - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Check out what focus settings I use on the A7C and set it up like mine in this video: th-cam.com/video/_ZU6Q-oEcP4/w-d-xo.html
Julia! Slow down!! You're killing it! 😃
Bahaha my computer is on fire 😂
Aaah! It's finally here! I knew Julia would get an early copy! 😂 Queen of the 35mm!😂👑
I've been waiting!!! So excited I got to try it out, can't wait for my own 😄
Great comparison of these two 35mm lens. Super cool to see the real world in field tests of the two lens.
I’m so much more impressed by Sony glass than anything Canon has to offer. Not to mention that Canon’s high end glass is just ridiculously overpriced. Looks like I’m selling my R6 when the A7IV comes out! Amazing stuff, Julia! As usual!
Exactly what I just did. Canon lenses are way over priced and less sexy compare to Sony’s:(
Couldn't agree more with you. I sold my R5 which is an amazing camera and got the a7riv and the GM 35mm. Canon makes really good cameras and lenses but the size and price are a turn off.
A year later and canon still doesn’t support third party lenses lol I got an R6 but ended up buying a used a7iii to enjoy third party lenses
Canon glass is really great in terms of quality but I went with the A7IV over the R6II purely because of Canon's overpriced lenses and third-party lens restriction.
Thats funny I just sold my Sony stuff for a Canon R5, no regrets
Your voice and way of talking style won my heart!!! definitely i will reccomend to watch you all of my friends.
Love this lens and pictures of butterfly!😍 And yay, so many videos this week 💛
Thank you!!
When I saw an email saying there was a new 35mm lens by Sony, I thought "I'm sure Julia will be interested in this.". Opened TH-cam and your video was the first one there. ;)
Haha as soon as I heard about it I knew I needed to try it out!!
Is it just me or does the Zeiss have more clear and varied color rendition in the green-yellow - range? In the comparison shots I feel the GM renders few zones in monotone which the Zeiss renders in variety of different green and yellow hues?
Perfect timing with a butterfly. Will purchase this now.
Nice review. I am looking between the 24mm vs 35mm which one do you like more ? Thank you in advance
Great video Julia. Would it be good to switch to Sony from canon? I have the 5d mk iii and the sigma 35mm 1.4 art
Hey Julia, do you like the Sony 35mm F1.4 GM more than the Zeiss 35mm F1.4? I’m debating on selling my Zeiss 35 to get the Sony 35 GM 🤔 should I do it?
Great review and photos as always Julia. I love the lens, but really don't like the quick pulse you get when it acquires focus in AF-S. My 85 1.8 doesn't have this issue....
I have the SONY FE 35MM F/1.4 ZA ZEISS DISTAGON T* LENS worth upgrading and why ?
Just ordered mine and am first on the list at my usual camera store. Yours is THE BEST REVIEW out of ALL of the current reviews, because it's real world! Love your work Julia. You are the best!
Yesss I can't wait to get mine too and thank you!
Hi Julia, I would like your opinion on something. I recently baught the sony sigma 85mm dg dn (new smaller size) compared to the old art and I absolutely love it. Do u think sigma will update the old 35m art in dg? If they did I think they could get the size / weight close to the new gm 35mm 1.4 surely at a nice price point. What are your thoughts on this? P.s. Love Ur work :)
Seeing a lensflare gives me massive amounts of joy! YAY!
Haha I looove lens flares!
Great review! If you already had the Sony 35mm F1.8, would you still consider upgrading to the 35mm 1.4 GM?
oh, now it's time to go full sony. I love the 35mm 1.8 FE, but this is wonderful. Thank you, Julia.
Hello. What would you choose between 35mm 1.4 and 28-45mm f1.8 from Sigma? Please, if you can answer me, I am very indecisive and it would help me to find out a preference of yours.
Wowwww you always remind me why I love photography, all the shots you create are stunning, and that lens it's amazing! I wish I could afford it haha
Is it just always summer in Australia?
Singlehandedly saving 2021 with this upload frequency 😂💪
Yayyy I'm glad you guys like this crazy amount of videos haha
I watched 4 different photographer youtubers about the review of this sony 35mm gm f1.4 but i knew i wont be satisfied about the review of this lens until i watched Julia’s! Been waiting on this!
Ahh thank you!! My favourite focal length 🙏
Lovely video I've seen many you tube most I will forget but your video I will remember I love dreamy photos
Probably still prefer the rendering of the Zeiss but the weight/size difference is impressive
Yeah I'm curious to try out a side by side comparison soon to spot the differences. I will be getting this GM personally though to replace my Zeiss, it just feels more reliable for my client work outside of youtube :) Still love the Zeiss though, but yeah this one is a lot faster and better focus accuracy from my experience so far!
image rendition on the gm version looks so beautiful , I hope they refresh the 85 1.4 GM or the 90mm this year.. sony is in fire this year, covid hit them differently
New sigma 85 seems like an updated 85 gm.
Yeah agree, the 24-70 and 70-200 needs an update
@@papsny not IMO-those two lenses are amazing “As Is”
@@saintmovies7735 definitely not lol those two lenses definitely need an update since they back focus a bit too much compared to the newer lens
man the A7C with the 35GM just looks sexy, like the actual physical appearance of the camera. the lens IQ obviously looks amazing
Is there a difference between the A7C and A7iii bokeh? Can you still get good bokeh with the A7C and GM 35mm lens?

So happy you're posting more often!! Thank you so much. ☺️ Can't wait to see more. Also, amazed at how compact this camera is!
Yay I'm glad you like it!! I want to try uploading twice a week more often :D
Sony is unbelievable...💥💥
Hey Julia, do you have any videos or photo examples of 35mm at f1.4 vs f2.8? I have a 16-35mm GM considering swapping out for 35mm GM f1.4?
This was an absolute treat. Thank you for this Julia.
That's the lens to combine into a small kit with Tamron's new 28-300. One prime with high optical quality and fast aperture, one zoom for allround shooting without changing lenses. Plus, the Tamron is good where the GM is worst at (the one thing where it doesn't excel): focus breathing, so doing video is checked as well on the combination. =)
Great video! You are very easy to listen to. Do you know if i can use these full frame lenses on my sony a6600? Thanks
yes you can 👍
How does it compare to the sigma 35mm 1.2?
If you could only have 2 prime lenses for your Sony full camera, what would they be?
35mm + 85mm can be a good choice, but it depends on your specific needs
Oh my another 35mm 1.4 but this time a GM. It’s going in my camera bag ASAP. A7C autofocus is lightening fast. Wow
I really like your photos and those light preset, can I have them ? which one did you use ? thank you !!!
I have a 24-70 2.8 GM atm and looking to get another lens, I'm kinda bouncing between the 55 1.8, 50 1.4, and this 35 1.4 - any thoughts?
that Zeiss image still looks fantastic
Sure !
Yep the Zeiss is still a beautiful lens!
How does the GM 35mm hold up to the sony 35mm f1.8... and also the samyang 35mm f1.8? 🤔
Yay! Excited to see you shoot more photos with the 35 1.4 GM
Julia, I love following your channel and watching you work and produce beautiful images. Dan is becoming a great model also, way to go Dan.
Soooo pretty!! Oh my goodness the butterfly shots that was so exciting! I LOVE the weeds/flowers hahah I was laughing the whole time lol 😂❤️ Love that dress/romper on you!
Thank you!! Haha I'm pretty sure they were weeds but they look too pretty to call them that 😂😅
@@juliatrotti hahah yes they were it was just cute how you were like unsure hahah I agree they are so pretty!
Is the autofocus much faster than the samyang? I‘am do mainly videography but af is important for me
Hello Julia. a question about the 35mm GM. As it is extremely sharp, is it not more work with post editing with so many details in the face that I see? Thank you. Best TH-cam channel. George
I love love love my ziess 35mm f1.4, but now I feel like I need to get the GM. Just got the dang size advantage alone !
I will for sure be buying this lense! Thanks for sharing! Love your kind spirit in these videos
Would you ever use the Sony A7C for pro work like weddings or events?
I just picked this up yesterday, got some amazing shots on flowers to test but human subjects are on Saturday! amazing lens so far like all of the GM lenses
Literally a field test 😉
Images took in this video is so stunning!
The auto focus test really made me laugh 🤣! Can’t stop smiling now lol.
Thank you so much 😄
Best camera and lens review👍📸
Hi Julia! I am your new fan!! Like all your photos taken and your cheerful voice! I am planning to get Sony FF A7C, coming from m43. :)
I always love to take my wife and son during weekend outing. Hope you can advice me on below, please.
1. When taking both wife and son, does the A7C able to track both faces and both eyes? If not, please advice how to set it up to take both wife and son.
2. Does the 35mm f1.4 len itself able to let me shoot all my family outing needs as well as easy travelling?
Thank you! No, you can't track 2 people at once. You have to pick one to track then it's up to you with aperture and positioning of your subjects to get them both in focus :) And yes when I can only pick one lens to take photos in many styles when I'm travelling, the 35mm does a great job!
@@juliatrotti thank you Julia for your reply and advice! The main reason for me to switch to FF Sony is because of the good Eye AF tracking to take on my active and running boy as well as low lighting photography. I am stuck to choose between the GM 35mm f1.4 and Sony FE 35mm f1.8.
Will I have trouble & issue with the GM 35mm F1.4 due to the Focus Breathing if I am taking eye AF with tracking on my boy? Meaning it will "lag" slow down due to the GM Focus Breathing. Appreciated it so much!!!!! I learn alot from all your videos!!
Why you still using A7iii instead of A7c for vlog???) just curious
Mam ji, shall I shoot potrait photos in vertical angle .? It will come output good ?
Thanks i have the 7c and i want buy this 35mm g Master tío is great.
Nice to see Dan in front of the camera! Great video Julia
Love your fun personality! Great content, I’ve just bought a bunch of your presents x
Thanks for the video Julia. I love the vibe of your videos 😊
Any chances you'll do a 35mm comparison with the other variables ?
Great video as always! Can feel your enthusiasm with this lens
Thank you!
I’m looking at purchasing some presets - what is your most popular??? You have sooo many I feel lost not sure what ones to purchase so I’d love to go with the most popular
Not gonna lie, i'm with you on 35mm!! If i could only have two lenses i'd use the 35mm 80% of the time, it just has a closeup personal touch to it and framing that i love to have in all my photos ❤
Ahhh Julia! I knew I could count on you ! LOL do you think this lens would be good on the Sony A5100? I have a 90D canon but I used to use the Sony for vlogs. I used the standard lens that came with it and it was super crisp. But now that I’m getting more cinematic I want a better lens. I rented the canon 35mm for a trip which I LOVED so much (took your advance).
Proud to be a sony alpha owner 😍😍
What do you currently use for all your 35mm. This new on GM or still Zeiss?
I use the GM 100% of the time now!
@@juliatrotti What about that soft backlight and flares. Can 35mm gm produce that kind of shots or was Zeiss more suited for that.
So many videos on this lens already, but I skipped them all to watch yours first.
I appreciate you! 💛
Thanks for such detailed review, i am using Sony FX3, comparing Sony 35 1.4 GM and Sony 35 1.8 for video shooting and film making purpose only. If I don’t mind the focus breathing issue on GM, just considering the video image quality. Does these 2 lenses make any noticeable differences? Someone tell me the video image on FX3 is only 4K 10bit so on video I would hardly notice any differences, but I would like to buy GM if it does perform any better on video image quality. Thanks
Hi Julia, can you recomend a lens for operation room shoots. in operation rooms there is low light, plus operation lights are so bright that makes difficult. hope one day you took these portraits for plastic surgery patients at operating rooms.
How is handling with a7c? Is it front heavy?
Most important question for me Is it worth to change from 35mm 1,4 Zeiss to GM?
I'm sure this is a great lens and all, but are you sure this isn't a zoom lens with that insane focus breathing?
Love the lens and the images well done. Your channel is great.
Thank you for sharing that with us it's appreciated.
Thanks so much!
Silly question but in the start where you had the auto and eye focus on you and you were moving around, was that achieved by keeping the button pressed half way the whole time?
Yep Dan was half pressing the shutter for the autofocus test :)
@@juliatrotti that makes sense. Thanks for making it easy to understand. I’m slowly slowly getting better at manual mode from watching your videos 😊
Do you reccomend Canon Eos 6D for beginners?
looks awsome Julia! and i can see that the a7c is clearly looking brighter than the a73, im liking it! what did you think?
Thank you! Yeah I wanted both video examples to look different so it's easy to see which one is which while it's flicking through both, so I just lowered the shutter speed on the A7C footage :)
The perfect lens!
Is it suitable to use this for filming?
Great video and test. I might just get this lens to partner with my 55mm 1.8
Hi and thank you very much for the video! Please help me decide between the 35mm GM F1.4 and the Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8 Di III VX. I will shoot wedding/portrait and landscape photography. Also please let me know if your Lightroom presets can also be used in Photoshop. Thank you with respect!
Such a fun video to watch ☺️
Hello ma'am
do we get the same Bokeh in video also
Nice review. Your TH-cam channel has grown exponentially. Keep up the good work. 🙂
Subscribed. Love from the Philippines!
hello julia, help needed please reply it would be highly appreciated. just started photography business wanted to shoot potraits only and got invited in the indoor events. i have a sigma 24-70mm f2.8 but i wanted something sharper and with lower Aperture. Would you recommend this pricey lens for a new business? if yes is there anything else you will be looking at if starting a new business.
Awesome video and commentary 👌
Dear Julia, can you please make a comparison between samyang 35 1.4 and sony gm 35? The price difference is like 3-4x. Still, i am a potential buyer of both. Your style matters, that's why your comparison matters :) 🎈
And the Sigma 35mm
Yes, I will definitely be working on some comparison videos! Lots of lenses to compare to it haha
Love your videos!! Thank you!!
Big smile, somebody is really happy :)))
I've been waiting for this lens! 😄🙌
The temptation is real to add this to my bag even though I already have the 24 GM. My only gripe with 24mm in general is closeup warp in portraits and “stretchiness” along the edges (I center most of my portraits, esp at 1.4, to avoid this) but I also find myself using the Super35 mode sometimes to pseudo-emulate a 35mm look and to avoid the edges of the lens to ensure I don’t get that warping. I’m curious if there are any of those concerns with this lens. Also, Julia, could totally how legitimately stoked you were to be using this lens. It made me happy seeing that you were happy!
Have you compared the 24 GM abs the 35? Would love to see that if you haven’t!! Thanks 😊
I would love to get a hands on this baby! Thanks for the video.
my God, do y’all just have amazing weather in australia all year round?! life aint fair 😔
When the country isn’t on fire it’s pretty beautiful
Southern Hemisphere so they have their summer during our winter!
We sometimes put in an order for a crappy day, just to kept it real.
Haha aw, not gonna lie but I do really appreciate the beautiful weather here! It's currently summer as someone pointed out, but even in winter it's not too bad ;)
I just preordered this lens today!! I'm so excited
Yesss I can’t wait for mine to arrive as well!
Look at that tiny camera package! A7C + 35mm f1.4 is sooo small!
yeah that A7c is something, it's like a6600 with FF sensor
It's such a cute little kit! haha
Today I got my 35mm/1.4 GM and I‘m so happy! Great lens and very nice to use with A74, which enables cancelling focus breathing in videomode! And btw: I like your very natural smile and how you make your videos!
There is no focus breathing with this lens on the A74? I'm getting the A74 for xmas and was interested in this lens, but I'm hearing bad things about the focus breathing. I want to use it for video too.
@@cybrah it's very low focus breathing with the 35mm/1.4 GM.
