The 50mm f1.4 G Master from Sony has become my favourite lens. The 50mm f1.4 G Master is small, lightweight and takes incredible images. So today I'm taking the Sony 50mm 1.4 gm out for some street photography. I'll also give you my opinions of this lens in the form of a Sony 50mm 1.4 GM review.

I love my 50mm 1.4 GM, it is currently my favorite of my three GM 1.4 lenses (24/35/50) I usually travel with two cameras and leave the 50mm on the Sony and combine it with my Q3.
Whats your body that you use your 50mm, f1.4, GM? You have a nice collection of G-masters lenses. I have the 24mm and just got the 50mm, f1.4 that I had been pining for, for some time. With your Q3(28mm), seems you have the wider focal lengths of your 24 and 35 covered for your travels, but isn’t there an equivalent APSC super 35 crop in mode in the Leica Q3, 60MP sensor that lets you really time crop and extend the focal length out to 90mm? Now, given the GMaster lenses are clinically razor sharp, and distortion free (awesome), but why not use your Q3 60MP, (crop until you can’t crop any more), one camera be all end all for travel?
Also, Leica is not Sony but would like to hear how you would compare and contrast your Leica Q3, with it’s 28mm, f1.7 lens to your Sony 24mm, f1.4, GM lens.
@@Cthames123 I own the A7 IV. The Q3 cannot replace the Sony, and the same cannot be said for the Sony. The Sony is a workhorse and very reliable, the 50mm in particular is razor sharp and produces great colors. The Leica is most impressive because of its great workmanship, it gives me more emotion, allows me to take more thoughtful and slower photos. The great thing is that you can see an almost perfect image through the viewfinder without any editing. 50mm 1.4 and 28mm 1.7 on 50mm crop are not the same. An example: I had the 50mm and the Q3 with me on a trip to Barcelona, and I used the Q3 a lot more. I recently photographed a wedding at the registry office, and the 50mm did 90% of the work.
@@Cthames123 The 24 mm 1.4 is brighter, and I would say that in combination with the a7IV, night shots are better. The Q3 seems like 26mm-28mm to me, so not quite as wide. The Leica's images have more three-dimensional depth and you can see that through the viewfinder. Since I own the Leica, the 24mm is less on it, but the Leica can't take night shots as well as the 24mm 1.4.
Great video man! Any specific reason why you chose the 50mm gm vs 35mm. 35 seems a bit more versatile for travel but curious your thoughts. Loved the shots in the 16:9 ratio 👌🏾
35 is wider and seeing as you can punch in with APSC mode it's super versatile but I love more compression and the 50mm just suits my workflow far better. Appreciate the kind words dude!
nice lens and congrats for your new purchase. I will stick to my Zeiss 55mm 1.8 which is an astonishing lens. I dont think i will ever replace it in this focus range. Zeiss 55mm 1.8 is one of the best lens ever!
Totally astronomical overpriced lens. The only lens I will never buy from Sony.
I sold the 1.2 for the 1.4 the smaller size just makes the lens more usable and practical when travelling. Also cool desktop wallpaper, where is it from?
Love to hear it! It's a photo I shot in the Komodo islands back in 2021!
I went with 55mm 1.8 zeiss 1/3 of the price 80% of picture quality;) and much smaller and lighter. GM is really great lens but for what I do zeiss is good enough. It has also some character in bokeh.
50mm fan here! I just bit the apple this week and got myself the Sony 50mm, f1.4,GM. I've only had it a couple days but so far I Love it. I plan on using it with my Sony, A7 IV, and had some reservations about using it with my everyday carry, Sony, A7C (was afraid it'd be a little large). I only use smaller lenses on my A7C, (i.e Sony 50mm, f2.5, G). Seeing you shoot on your A7C ii is making me rethink it in terms of an occasional use. Still, isn't it a little hard to handle with the smaller grip?
The size hasn't bothered me at all! I understand the reservations for sure but especially when shooting with 2 hands, 1 on the camera and the other on the lens, you don't notice any strange balancing issues!
You can get a SmallRig base plate to add more room for grip. It also help to protect your camera base from scratches.
I want to get an a7c, the spec and reviews are great, but worried about bigger lenses on a small body... What do you think?
If you put the 100-400 on the A7C, you're going to feel unbalanced but even with the 24-70 2.8 sigma, I'm more than happy shooting!
@@Watzac I think in one of your videos you said if you were starting out you'd get two lenses that can do everything, I think it was 24-70, 70-200. So I was thinking that's what I'd do. But now thinking about weight on the big lens.
Would you recommend another similar quality camera / price but a bit bigger?
You might want to save a little more to get A7C2 with major upgrades
@@Itsadam_r Same concern here for me on the larger lens on smaller body,(the real issue for me is the ergonomics of the grip). Full confession, I already had an A7IV, and got a super deal on an open box A7C that had 64 shutter actuations on it with the kit lens on an after Christmas sale earlier this year. A big reason was I wanted an everyday carry camera that I felt comfortable taking with me places I felt the A7IV was a little too large to lug around. I had the idea of sharing lenses across the 2 cameras, which I do. But I soon saw slapping my G-master on the A7C gives me G-master photos but wreaks the whole tiny enough to carry everywhere functionality. I use smaller lenses on my A7C, (sigma 24mm, f3.5, dg dn; sony 50mm, f 2.5,G; Sigma 90, f2.8, dg dn), which are still fantastic and I love them. Everyday I walk around 3-4miles with my A7C in my hand during my lunch break. I go home, and walk some more with my A7IV with my G-master around my neck. The G master is not a huge lens but If I carried it on my A7C for 4miles everyday I’d be afraid my hand would fall off! I could do it, but it wouldn’t be real comfortable.
I have the same combo, nice! Can you make a tutorial how you grade your photos? Shoot in ST? Thanks ❤
I have this lens. It’s nice. Works for me
Dreamlens🤩🔥
the 1.4 is good lens for walk around street shots or travel light, but coming from Canon RF 1.2 lens, the weight and size for the sony 1.2 is nothing, I will pick the 1.2 over 1.4 any day. max optical/bokeh quality is what I go after
Incredible lens. I love mine.
So good!
How is it for video purposes?
so good man! love the combo! 50 1.4 is one of the lens that are fun to use!
Do you think this lens is sharper than the 24-70 GMII?
My favorite setup on my favourite place
Ticking boxes!
May I ask where is this place in Bali? Thank you! 🙏🥹
It's in Kintamani!
So you shoot at 65:25 aspect ration or whatever it is...with a 50 mm, I thought i need wide lens for that
Bro you are using a 7c mark 2 sony camera even I have to buy this camera but people are saying that camera have overheating problems is it or not
Don't worry about overheating on this camera. I'd used it 7 months , 4K 50fps 10 bit 4:2:2 never met overheating😊
Bro I’ll add this to the ever growing list
Hahahah man it feels like that! Check out my video about why you only need 2 lenses, that might make you feel a little better about that ever-growing list!
2.35:1 or 16:9 ratio?
We were in Kintamani, Bali at the same time. Took some awesome shots of sunrise of the Valley and Volcanoes. Would have loved to run into you since you also inspired me to get the Mavic 3 Classic. U didn’t fly to Australia did you? Cheers🤩🫶🏻
Awesome to hear! The mavic 3 classic is a beast 💪 I'm still in Indonesia and won't be back in Australia for a weeks!
This is my favorite lens. I do all my talking head videos with this lens.
why not 1.2 instead?
bigger, heavier, pricier. too little difference to justify the price difference.
I'm more of a 35mm guy because I like the documentary/journalist look
What about the 1.2
I went back and forth for a while on this but the extra cost and size made it less appealing. I was able to pick up the 1.4 for a great deal and since I'm shooting on the A7Cii it doesn't feel too big on the body!
@@Watzac yeah I understand logique
i still prefer 1.2
I love INDONESIA
This is Indonesia bro😂
