That is like comparing a Truck to Racing Car ! You cannot compare a wide angle Lens to a tele Lens ! They are for different purpose ! But a 35mm AND a 85mm will be a great set of Lenses ! For my use, a 85mm is more versatile than a 35mm. I have the Zeiss Batis Sonnar 85mm 1.8 T* which is a very good Lens, but I am a sucker for the best possible Lens performance, so now I also have the Sony 85mm 1.4 GM II. I do like the 35mm focal length a lot and I have two 35mm Lens, the very compact and light weight Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar 35mm 2.8 T* ZA and the Voigtländer APO-Lanthar 35mm 2.0 Aspherical which is just as good in optical image quality as the Sony 35mm 1.4 GM, but the Voigtländer is more compact and light weight, also the Voigtländer is built like a tank and will outlive the Sony ! When I advice beginners to buy their first Lens/Lenses, then I always tell them to get either a 35mm or a 85mm, best would be to get both.
I bring my 90mm f2.8 when I don't feel like carrying my 70-200 GM2. For me, f1.4 isn't as important at 85mm as it is at 35mm. The compression of the 90mm gives me enough subject separation and if I need to shoot in low light I use my 35mm f1.4.
Cool lenses to be sure. I ordered the a7CR grip for my a7Cii as the larger primes felt so much better with it. Off-topic but pertaining to your mid-roll sponsor ad: as someone who has recorded and voiced thousands of voice-overs, Motion Array’s VO feature just makes me sad. It’s the audio equivalent of just hiring a “photographer” to do a prompt-created photo. Oh well, that is the time we are living in. I hope at least the high-end clients still value the real deal.

@ you should next time please, because i have tamron 20-40 and i want to buy my first prime GM Lens but confused about 24,35,50 GM, some say 35 the best, some says 50 is the closest to human eye
Am I wrong? If so, tell me which primes lens is the best!

35mm is the most versatile prime lens focal length. Much like a 24-70 is for zooms. So totally agree 👍🏼
the two are a perfect combination for the work I do....the 85 and 35 are BOTH a must have
I've been using Sigma 85mm for the last 2 years and I love it, I would love to try GM lens.
I can highly recommend the Sony 85mm 1.4 GM II
the 35mm f1.4 gm is such a good lens! I want to pick one up again. One day

35GM is goated.
24GM !
35 and 85 they are inseparable brothers
I have them both and use them both. But I prefer the 85mm as my choice
And for street photography 85 is brilliant! Sigma 85 1.4 is light and this same filter size like 35 1.4 gm. Nothing more to add.
Oh, a wild Brandon Lee! 3:57
That 35mm focal length tho 🔥
It’s perfect!
🍎 🍐
24mm 😀 then in APS-C crop it is a 35mm LOL
I do that sometimes, but I also use 35mm
Great video
Thanks!
35mm all the way
Yeah I’m definitely keeping my 35mm
What if only lense i hav3 is a 70 200 g , and a stock for a6400 . Thinking 35
Ok 👍 that’s good ❤❤🎉🎉
Got the 35mm GM but I am missing my Sigma 35mm, it just had more of a look to me. Would love to have the GM size but Sigma rendering.
after all, the only downside to the Sigma is rendering man!
@ But that‘s unfortunately the most important, to me. 😕
what about 50mm GM f1.4?
Probably should have included that lens too whoops
@ you should next time please, because i have tamron 20-40 and i want to buy my first prime GM Lens but confused about 24,35,50 GM, some say 35 the best, some says 50 is the closest to human eye
lol on no planet are Sony going to sell a 4 year old GM lens for 950😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
