I’m sorry for the re upload. I made a mistake in the video and it hurt my soul to take it down 😭
We forgive you brotha! Its about getting content out man!
No worries bro, came back to drop another like. Still a dope video!
Gotta do what ya gotta do!
But you still did it so it's forgiven 🙃
its ok ..ive watched it twice now... haha
Manny, great video as usual.
Just a minor comment.. The 11 aperture blades do not "produce" smooth bokeh. The main purpose of the 11 blades is to MAINTAIN circular bokeh highlights when the lens is stopped down. Wide open, the bokeh highlights should be circular, whether the lens has 11, 9, 7 or whatever number of aperture blades. The lemon shape bokeh is due to mechanical vignetting. The 85mm GM has lower mechanical vignetting, that's why it renders rounder bokeh balls.
Cheers!
I shoot fashion and beauty and I'm by no means a super professional, big name photographer but I have been using a 24-70 and 70-200 for about 2 years now and I've started to move to primes. I use my 55mm 1.4 Zeiss for probably 70% of my compositions, my 24mm GM for those rare occasions where I need to compose wide and I just recently started looking at 85, 100 and 135 lenses to replace my 70-200 but I've quickly found out that since my main lens is a 55mm, the 85mm focal length doesn't really offer anything special compared to the 55mm and I'm not really getting that much closer with it either so for me it was a fight between either the 105mm Sigma or the 135mm GM!
I have just decided I will order the 135mm GM because I really don't like how Sigma makes things in the image look... It's hard to explain, it's like I would focus on the model but then everything around the model would be one dimensional and flat, like you couldn't tell how far stuff was from each other, like for example, if you had two cars one behind another, they would literally just look like you glued two car stickers on top of each other, whereas when I tried the 135mm GM, it would make everything look 3D, just like my 55mm Zeiss Otus does and I LOVE THAT kind of look because it reminds me of those old film and cinema lenses! Plus it looks more realistic because it's not just a flat image and for fashion and beauty shots that's SUUUPER useful and makes the model stand out from the environment even at f8, f11 or f16!
And the 135mm focal length is MUCH BETTER for head, head n shoulder, waist up, close up and detail beauty shots, since I use 55mm for basically everything else!
If I have to choose one lens from these and the price is gonna be almost similar.
I will go for Sony 85 G master, because it will be lot more versatile indoors because of shorter focal length.
And f1.4 will work pretty fine in low light.
I love how you say 1-2-3 out-loud when you take a photo - I always do that, although backwards, 3-2-1. Anyway, just dropped by to say hi and thank you for your guest appearance in mine!
I see you up'd the production value. Keep dropping the great content bro. Respect
Dat compression with the 135 😍
To put a full synthetic oil is the best you can do to your engine 😀 You probably meant semi synthetic 10w40
Don't think one of them can replace the other. I'd use them both for their different ranges. With my current Nikon setup I'm switching between my 35, 85/105 and 70-200 during weddings, depending on the situation. If I switch over to Sony, which I probably will eventually, I think the 35, 85 and 135 GM will be the trio I'll carry. No need for a 70-200 when there's access to such a stellar 135. If I need the 200mm range, APS-C crop mode on the prime will probably be as good as the physical 200 on the zoom.
did you happen to make this switch or will soon?
Great review. 3 years later still no Ned 135mm from canon, wonder how much that would cost
About to buy my first Len for My Sony A7lll ...I so confused which one should I get : Sony 135 or Sony 85 1.4 .I shoot portraits
4 years after and someone is struggling with the same question. Can you give me an answer? lol
That intro is everything
Hi, I'm Ivonne, thanks for your videos, I'm a beginner in photography, could you tell me what high-quality polarized filter I can buy for my Sony 35 mm 1.4 GM lens. Thank you for your advice.
Just curious why you don't upload in 4k? No disrespect intended; your work is awesome, just wish I could appreciate your direct sharpness comparisons on a 4k screen. Hard to get a feel for a comparison of something shot at super high res when the comparisons are presented in 1080 :(
I think the 105 is the best. no distortion like an 85 but you dont have to back up far as hell for full body.
Man! The 135 is a beast. I love the idea of getting a Sigma lens but generally speaking they are so loud compared to these native lenses. Totally agree with you on the pricing.
Loud?? What! I have the 20, 35 & the 135 native Sigma Art for Sony e and they are all totally quick and silent!
@@fotomats8651 Congrats man. To answer you question though, yes. Vast majority of the Sigma lens I have come across and reviews I have seen, the auto focus is loud. So loud you can her it in post at times.... Why are you yelling though? You alright man?
@@anthonyblodgett2227 Sorry, but video work don´t bother´s me... For Photography they are all totally silent! cya
@@fotomats8651 No need to apologize. We are just talking man. Best wish. Have a good one.
@@anthonyblodgett2227 we probably misunderstood... likewise
because of you, today I bought 85mm 1.4GM, I can't wait.
You and Diana are adoreable. Love the closing scene.
End part was the best. Your wife always makes your video that much more comical and fun to watch. My dream is to be a successful photographer/videographer as you.
Wow, actually I do not consider bokeh very pleasant. I was expecting same oomph as 135 Zeiss Sonnar, but that sir, did not happen at all.
Manny, you are right, 85GM is much nicer in the bokeh department and I am definitely keepin' it !
Dude I get so pumped for your videos every week keep up the good work😊👍
Why did it blur out @3:52 ?
Possibilities are endless
It’s his dick
5:18 again
Your wife cracks me up. Another good vid. Thanks.
great review ..showing us the result of pictures ... keep going bro 😍😍😍
Great information as always, Manny I love my 85 but I'm still discovering it's full potential I've been using my 85 mm for about 3 months, ive been watching a lot of your videos to help give me some ideas as to what my next lens should be, Im Only 1 year and a half years in ( new guy ) any suggestions as to what my next leans should be as a all around type of leans?
Hehehe do a video with this Sony 135mm GM and the A7r4!
Ohh yes!!!
Great video as always , but am more tempted to get the Sigma 105
Your content is so intuitive, thank you 🙏 I always look forward for new videos
Diana rocks! LOL Thanks for the vid Manny! I think you're right, the 70-200 is excellent for portraits and it's a more versatile lens. In your opinion, do you think it would be beneficial to get the 85mm 1.4, or just stick with my 70-200?
Great video. A number of blank spots for some reason. Not sure if your new format works, but the content is still rock solid.
I don't know why press tech stresses so much on those aperture blades.
If you shoot wide open they should be perfectly stowed away and will not influence the bokeh.
The light shape is just a factor of the front element cutting on out of focus zones
good channel as always, not too serious, light humor, simple facts
I was about to buy the sigma 135 but now i will have to pre order the GM.
What is the difference between this lens and Sony 20mm 1.8
Hey Manny any tension or bad blood from Sony since you left the program?
oh cool. knew the model at 1:55 looked familiar. saw her at another Sony event in NYC too.
Dunno whats sharper...The lens...Or your shape up
And I am still keeping my Batis 135 f/2.8. Thanks for another informative vid. You inspire me.
ok that B Roll intro was sick 😋
Great videos Manny. I like you style a lot. Fun, full of insight and no bullshit. Just the things I like to see and hear. Yeah!
I loved how at the end when Diane came in to say goodbye, when she left you watched her butt all the way out the door :P My man!
wow very nice lent, sorry for my request, but is it possibile to see a raw of the sony and one of the sigma?
censored? or forgot to add spec text? whats with that blur? Manny whats going on man xD
Id love to have it, both because its a sharper lens and! Newer lens motor adjustment.
But inside I haven’t the studio room length literally. So for that i have to stay with my 85gm
I've GM135 , Sigma 85DG DN 1.4, Sony 90 2.8 Macro G lenses.i have to sell one of them at least.i just can't decide.help me please.
Get the 24 GM and keep what you have
Great intro. Do more of this. Was the intro shot on the 135mm 1.8?
I like the end when the wifey comes in. Real life! 😊
Ending was soooo sweet ❤️
Good video Manny. You and Brandon Cole are by far the best photographers on RUclips. You guys should do a collab. That would shut down RUclips. Similar styles
Thank you for this review Manny! 🤘🏽
Sold! Look forward to more samples!
Can't wait to get back to photography I'm so anxious 🙏🏾
I believe we will soon see a new 85mm f1.4 GMaster Mark ii with the quad XD motor system. The speed and reduced focusing noise will really put it above the competition. I love my 85 f1.4, but low light focusing can be a tad frustrating.
Dope ass location!! For some reason, this 135mm lens has been all over my feed. It's like it's calling me! lol great video as always! My only question would be the distance from the model and just communicating w her and how would this be at a wedding?
that intro could be a sick, sick ad for the makers of this lens, man. good job 👌
what happend 3:58?
what is your opinion Manny Ortiz, compared to sony 135mm f1 8 za sonnar t* carl zeiss ????
Manny, please advise me I have Thamron 28-75MM, Sony F1.4/24GM, 85mm GM, Sony 200-600 G oss, My Question is, Am I still Need to buy 70-200mm ? If i but 200-700mm will it useful for Video ? thank You.
Manny love your work mate , so honest :)
Time to trade in my SAL135f18Z! Nice video Manny!
Manny - This might be a dumb question, but do you set white balance before each shoot, or do you run with auto and correct in post?
INTRO IS FYYYYY-YUUURRR
Hi Manny , I am tempted to get / try out a Sony , what do you use and what did you use for this test . I am drawn to the A73 because of the smaller files , but i would like your opinion as I can not afford to waste money from my pension . Thanks and keep the good work .
Please help, in my lens when I turn it up and down it feels like something inside is loose, is that normal?
Can someone explain what's with the weird blurred cuts? Why wouldn't he just delete those sections? I'm confused. What was there originally?
Awesome video! Can't wait for the full review!
Thanks for the great video! :)
How are you Manny. I have Sony 70-200mm 2.8 i’m thinking about purchasing Sony‘s 135mm 1.8, I do event photography and portraits so do you think it’s worth picking up Sony’s 135 mm 1.8.
Hello from Germany :) ..I Love your Videos ... I Love your LR Presets .. thank you..
1st, click on video, 2nd, hit that like button before watching, 3rd Sit back and enjoy the mad knowledge 🙌🏽😅🔥🔥🔥📸🎥
After comparing a lot of Sony vs Sigmas the Sony just performs so much better. For the most part they are faster, sharper and better build. Sigma is good but not Sony level.
I think you did a great job on the analysis - I think you're right about the price points and the reasons why the Sony is a perfect match for...Sony. As for the football shaped bokeh balls - can you tell us if this is a factor of just...physics or is this something that eventually lens manufacturers will be able to fix? What I mean is - do bokeh balls just naturally get that shape when they are off to the edges or is there something in the manufacture that contributes to this?
Honestly, I can't afford either of the two so I will buy the Sony FE 1.8 85 mm. Sony should release more G series lens for enthusiasts. We need more mid range glass for Sony.
Sick video man - Thank you Sir.
Finally Sony has released its 135mm/f.18... Hopefully it will be priced at a more affordable range, although I am not going to buy it in the near future.... Nice comparison with the Sigma 135mm/f1.8 btw, Manny...
Heard it will be £1900
good work as usual
Thank you sir Mamallapuram SunLight Studio Balu
Hey Manny thanks for that comparison, really helped me! - Pls may I ask what do you use for recording the EVF content? Ninja V like almost everyone else?
Brooklyn here!
Is this ideal for sports in any way?
Awesome piece of glass!
The football shape bokeh “balls” is not really due to the amount of aperture blades, because most lenses will render round balls in the center of the frame. The football shape is due to vignetting and gives rise to a more swirly bokeh that some people like.
I think the Sony 135 has less vignetting than the Sigma. The Sony 85 GM is almost unique in this department.
I'd like to see a comparison with both the 135 and the 105 from sigma. Ty
On the concrete? the bag is right there?!?! lol. That hurts my heart lol.
right
Thanks Manny, your always on your game and very interesting.
NICE!!!!!! I love the video INTRO!!!!
Yasssss! Love this Manny!
Reupload? Relike!
will you ever get more addicted hoodies in
I see why you like the "Manuel Focus" in that lens. 🤗
Hows this 135mm sonys sharpness vs the sigma 105mm 1.4 ?
Manny talking about engine oils now? So what grade should I put in my high performance engine? Haha i kid, love your stuff.
Thanks for the comparison with the 85, it's great to see the difference. Now, considering the weight difference is 180g, while not negligible, strictly speaking not a deal breaker - if going strictly about image quality - where, if at all, it has leg up on the sigma 135 ? I did view both of your videos and there doesn't seem to be a significant difference, but i might have missed something. Now, considering AF, how much worse would you consider sigmas af to be?
I have a 135mm lens that has perfect soap bubble bokeh, which had cost me only $30. Yes, it's a manual focusing lens. And yes it's over 40 years old. An Olympus OM Auto-T 135mm f3,5...
L
You will get cat's eye bokeh at f1.8 in the corners as your aperture doesn't come into play wide open. The corners are still getting clipped by the lens barrel . You have to stop down 1 or 2 stops to get the circular bokeh.
Guys, noob here. All the pictures that featured in the every vids from manny, are those straight out the camera? Or is it edited post? I'm new to photography btw.
135 + Elizabeth please
Does Diana ever have patients that recognize her from your videos? 😂
Greetings from Vietnam. You are like the Kanye West of photography. You're my inspiration.
Manny you've got some missing pictures starting at around 3:53
Couple goals.
Hey Manny, love your videos. I recently had an issue with Sigma. I am a professional photographer and had their 12-24 ART lens for about 13 months when I noticed the front element was loose. I sent it to Sigma to be repaired. It took them about 2 and 1/2 weeks to get it back to me. They were very non-responsive to the fact that I was a professional and could not be without this lens! Also, since it was past warranty (2 months) and they said it was dropped (it wasn't), they made no allowances. Since I am a canon shooter and most of my other lenses are canon and I have CPS, they have equipment back to me within 3 days! Does Sony have something similar in terms of taking care of their pro shooters?
