Which 50mm you thinking?!

🔝 As always there was a great review and comparison. Thank you for your work. 👍
Appreciate you 🙏🏼
The Sony is a little more Sharp has 1.4 but personally, for the portrait, it makes no difference. Above F2, the difference is almost zero. And for the price I prefer Sigma. I was too disappointed with the result, the 24mm GM that I had. The 20mm 1.4 dg dn art, my gives much more pleasure.
First time watching your vid just subscribed
Are you still planning to make a video on difference in stabilization with third party lenses? Can you give me a readers digest version here in the meantime?
Wait … so the Sony is better at f1.4 IN THE CORNER (which you won’t use for portrait) and the Sigma is better at narrower apertures EVERYWHERE ELSE (which you WILL find important)? The prices should be reversed.
I won’t use more than 2.0 on this lens, why would I buy an 1.4 if I don’t use it
@@sarfios If you actually know how to be a photographer and learn what the value of a wider depth of field is...
@@anonymousl5150 Dunno mate it's quite the opposite, you need to be a better photographer in order to compose more elements in a shot. Have the 50mm 1.2 SONY GM, the DoF is so thin I often have only in the plane of DoF rather than both. You know the better you become the more you'll see that bokeh is just the easy mode on a camera, try to shoot wide lens, no DOF and compose a good shot, then show me.
@@sarfios That's because you shouldn't be shooting wide open all the time in the first place. Learn how to shoot without relying on bokeh for subject separation. And 50 mm is not just a portrait lens with maxed out bokeh either.
@@anonymousl5150 Oh you didn't get it, never referred such thing. Reread.
Would be very nice to get a video where you would compare the IBIS and Active Stabilization for the video between the 3rd party lenses and native Sony lenses.
it would be identical. The stabilization comes from the body, not the lens in this case.
@@justonbrazda3846 In the previous video you mentioned "“The third party lenses it’s not going to be as good as is for the Sony lens believe me I’ve been testing that quite a bit” . That is why I was asking :)
It’s actually very different
Video coming
I noticed in my a7iv using sigma less stabilisation than the sony lenses when I make videos .
will you keep your F1.2 GM or switch to the new one?
I’ll be keeping it
Hello, why do you keep it?
cause 1.2?
I plan to buy a new 50mm (i just sold my 55f1.8)
i l a pro video shooter.
But in France the sony f1.4 cost 1600euros.
the sigma 929 euros.
And the f1.2 cost 2200euros but incan get an "old one" for around 1600euros....
What do you think of that?
I work for corporate clients so the quality and the bokeh is important for me.
I ve rent already the gm f1.2...
Thanx for your answer!!!
great videos anyway
any idea if they're making a new 85 GM?
how would he know that? and if he was testing it he wouldn't say.
Only some youtubers provide best information.
Samyang 50mm F1.4 mkii all day long & I can have a holiday with the money I saved too
Also include Samyang/Rokinon, its the lightest and cheapest I believe. The Sigma equivalent is always 50% costlier than the Samyang in my country, which is often very different from the dollar price.
Would be interesting if you could throw Samyang 50mm f/1.4 AF there.
Samyang AF 50mm F1.4 II is smaller, cheaper and lighter than Sony and Sigma😉
As an owner of that lens, I can say that the eye AF is noooooot the best - but workable enough
@@OneRequiem123 not the best, but much faster than previous version......
The Sony only slightly outperforms the Sigma in each category. For the pretty hefty price difference, the sigma seems to be the clear winner
I don't know I think the sigma is a little better in some regards.... Like Bokeh. More corner and edge sharpness in certain circumstances.
@@ramspencer5492 true. I think it’s just a way better deal overall. Typical Sony to significantly overprice everything.
In the world of lens, you shouldn’t say that, or everyone will be shooting with their phone. Because phone gets 70% of camera’s work done for free. If u want to play with a mirrorless camera, 400 dollars for a marginal gain to the public eye is the norm here.
@@whygamewhy try shooting with your phone in any kind of low light situation and then let me know if you still stand by your statement lol. Not to mention there are tons of other reasons why a camera phone cannot even compare to a mirrorless camera aka “real camera”
@@oldmanhendo7183 Like I said 70% of the function for 0 dollars, you lose some post potential and low light performance. You said that sigma is so much better for value because it achieves most of Sony for several hundred dollar cheaper. I am arguing that in the world of camera industry, that little improvements are worth the several hundreds more dollars because otherwise going from phone to camera is, by your logic, the least cost effective way to improve your photos in the first place.
Can't possibly be any difference in sharpness at f/9. Both lenses are capped by diffraction at that aperture. However chromatic aberration, coma, astigmatism and vignetting may appear different.
Youre wrong here, think about it some more.
@@spakecdk MTF of these two lenes are capped by diffraction starting from f/4 already.
Sigma.....
only reason to buy the sigma is price. There is no other reason.
Yep
Except for manual focus , the damping on the new Sigmas focus ring, is 100% better than the no existent of the Sonys . For people coming from manual lenses ,at least having some damping helps , Sony is like a toy in this respect , they don't seem to care about manual focus operation at all now on their new lenses, which is odd as many are being used for video these days. I think the Sigma is a more robust build too.
@@robinprobyn1971 you're right. MF is better on the Sigma. Problem is 99% of people use AF.
@@justonbrazda3846 Sure for stills , and interviews in video , but for general "B roll" AF is not the best option, then you need decent MF, or at least dampening of the focus ring ! Thats wot I mean , Sony either don't even understand this or don't see the video user market as big enough to bother adding it to their design. Although strangely the much cheaper Sigma do ..
@@robinprobyn1971 well, I never use mf even for b roll. If I do I just use af them switch to mf. Never need to turn the ring.
First!😊
Appreciate you 🙏🏼 🥇
@@chrisbrockhurst Appreciate the content!!👍👍
A RECENTLY CONDUCTED STUDY BY TANGENT MEDIA HOUSE SHOWED THAT THE VIDEOS SHOT WITH LATEST SONY ALPHA CAMERAS CAUSED MORE STRAIN ON THE EYES OF THE VIEWERS. SOME VIEWERS ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT SWOLLEN LOWER EYELIDS AS A RESULT. ANY SIMILAR EXPERIENCE REGARDING THIS?
