In this video, I'm trying out the new Sigma 50mm f/1.2 DG DN lens. As you guys know I'm big fan of 50mm, and I'm even bigger fan of Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM lens, so I was super curious to see how the new Sigma will perform and how it's gonna compare to my GM lens. Let me know your thoughts in the comments and make sure to check out:

Awesome video! Did you get a message from Sigma regarding an update for the near AF problem?
This one is a little more difficult for me as there is a price difference worth noticing but is it enough? When I bought my sigma 24-70 2.8 it was basically half the price of Sony.
How are you using your phone as a monitor? Which app are you using?
It’s Accsson Seemo hdmi recorder
Awesome, as always. I'd like to know a bit more about the bokeh, its just a tiny bit in the review, cause that is why i'd buy a lense like this. Not really the focusing speed or frames per second.
Thanks! Yeah, you can judge the bokeh from all the images - not sure what more can I say about it. Compared to 50GM looks identical to me.
@@MagicWeddingPhotographer Ok, thanks. Just kind of thought it was glossed over a bit. Thanks for the reply.
I want to get in the Sony ecosystem full frame (Sony A7R4) but what about what I understand full full fame sony you need to have the FE mouth.
The Sigma 50mm f/1.2 dg dn art E mount covers the whole full frame? Because from what I understand the e-mount is only for crop sensor.
E mount are the same for full frame or cropped sensor. Safe to say FE = full frame lenses, E = cropped. A7iv is full frame, just use the FE lenses.
Not sure did you already made the buying decision or not, but this Sigma 50/1.2 DG DN was designed for the full frame camera image circle, actually, except 16/1.4, 30/1.4, 56/1.4, 18-50/2.8 were designed for the crop sensor, all the modern sigma lenses were designed for full frame camera if I remember it right.
I wanted a GM 1.2 but went the GM 1.4 route for the smaller size and weight. But this sigma is really great. However, let's face it, the photographer will influence the result the most.
50/1.4 GM is beautiful, I wouldn't have any regrets!
Magic ... i can't believe that left photo and right photo at minute 6:15 were taken one with the DG DN and the other with GM ... they look absolutely identical 😅... is it a trick?🤔 ... ... thanks ... ... good job 💪💪💪🤗🤗🤗
My thoughts exactly!
@@MagicWeddingPhotographer 😅🤗🤗🤗
it´s like with every Sony lens vs non Sony lens. Sony has the better AF
Magic, for an amateur portrait photographer, which lens do you think pairs well with a 50mm? There's also the option of selling the 50mm and getting something else. I know 35/85 is a popular combo. There's something about the 50mm that I like, though...Idk. Sometimes I think 24-70 is a good compromise. Yes, you don't get that sweet bokeh, but in one lens you can go from quite wide to slightly telephoto.
You didn't ask me, but how about the 70-180 from Tamron? 85's are great, but +100mm at F2.8 is absolutely fantastic as well. I pair my 50mm F1.4 with the Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8.
Believe me: tamron 28-75 g2, and you probably will not need something else for a long time
@@I922sParkCir I'm sure that the 35-150 is spectacular, but from personal experience, I know that if a lens is heavy, I'm less likely to use it. 2.6 lbs or 1.1 kilos is a bit much for walking around. While I do love portraits above all else, I do also do a lot of walkaround/travel stuff and that's a bit too heavy.
@@photobatya Yeah, I've seen some images from it and it's an incredible value for the price. The bokeh is even a little better than the Sony 24-70 GM II. I wish I could see some portrait shots with the Tammy at 75mm at 2.8. I lust after the Sony 24-70 but $2400 is a bit too much for a middle class dude who isn't a professional photographer.
@@photobatya It's also amazing that it's only $900. I'm guessing making a 28-75 requires less engineering than a 24-70.
50mm Sony f1.4 is the right choice lol
This is the route I went right before the F1.2 came out. Already shot a wedding with the F1.4 and really liked it's size and flare performance.
Kinda agree… I own the Sony 1.2 and got to shoot a wedding with the 1.4 and man I just love the weight and size!
Son 50/1.4 GM is a beauty, no doubt!
та же фигня с приближающимися объектами на тамрон 35-150 с a9 III фокус начинает плавать куда пожелает.
did you use the last firmware on the Tamron ? Since I had updated mine the autofocus is speedier.
@@pattespattes само собой я обновил прошивку, вот только это проблемы не решает, промахов значительно больше чем на a74, а если ещё и кнопку спуска зажимать во время зума, то их ещё больше...
I really like the images from this lens. I think I like the results of the Sigma more than the Sony for portraits. The colours look more pleasing for skin tones. I really want to order the Sigma 50mm f1.2 but the Sony 50mm f1.4 is so much more lighter
I have a GM1.4 and its really fun and awesome. I didn't want to carry a huge and heavy 1.2 for an all day event.
The colours are just tiny bit of WB difference. You can match them within 3 sec.
Geeze, that lens is still huge. For me, nothing beats the small size, lightweight, reliability, and quality of images out of the far cheaper Sony Zeiss 55mm f1.8. Small compact size was the reason why mirrorless cameras were invented in the first place.
WOW
Yes.
Your favourite shot is the single one with good lighting
You want to elaborate? Happy to hear your thoughts
Imaging booking a Magic Shooting and he doesn't use his GM 😂 just kidding, the results are amazing as always ❤
Hahahaha! Not gonna happen :) When I'm testing, I'm testing! When I'm booked to shoot, I shoot with the best tools I have! :D

Magic.. definitely worth considering for sure!...come on Sigma give us an 85 1.2 E mount! and Viltrox as well!..because Sony chose to not give us the 1.2 yet..haha
Yeah, if not the AF issues, that would be no brainer!
They cant release 85mm f1.2 before sony. Sigma probably already developed that lens but is waiting for sony to release 85mm f1.2
@@jijdom Why would they wait?..its competition..better to release something a "competitor" does not have yet..and you release yours "first" to grab the obvious market share first in that category....
and Sony already knew years ahead that Sony consumers have been waiting for a 1.2..for years..and yet they still give us a 1.4 II first..and that move by Sony opened the door for others to make/release a 1.2 first....hence Sigma and Viltrox!..
Well Viltrox then is definitely releasing one before Sony..lol
@@ldmndz4652 i have heard sony never lets 3rd party lens makers to make a lens with better specs than they have. 3rd party lens makers can for example make a lighter lens, less vignetting, less ca, etc. But not faster lenses. Because there is no 85mm f1.2 from sony, sigma cant release them. We have a 50mm f1.2 GM and voila sigma also releases a 50mm f1.2. Coincidence? I think not.
@@jijdom Well we will see about Viltrox then..if they release one sooner..lol
Tbh I would pay the extra $500 for the better autofocus of the Sony
Yup, same here! But I'm GM fan boy :P And I want 120fps on A9III!
In Europe the choice is even more interesting, as the 50 GM has been released for some time and the Sigma is brand new, so no discounts. If you wait for Black Friday (was about to write "Black Magic" lol) you could get Sony rebates as well as store discounts. With that in mind the difference between them might even be something like 200 euros. (I'm speaking from experience with the double discount)
@@AlexandruVladutu black Magic 🙈🔥
@@MagicWeddingPhotographer you got into my mind, stop it I say! 🤣🤣
Here in Spain the Gm 50 1.2 it's 2.199€ ( 2.340 dollars ), and sigma 50mm 1.2 1.499 € so it's a 700€ difference 😅 I think for my sony a7iv I will choose sigma .
Come on Sigma give us some Z mount Art love.
Very nice :)
Thanks Wpuszi!
Great video. I think it‘s a tough decision to make, but if I had to I‘d still go with the GM even though the Sigma is cheaper.
See ya next week! 🤩
Yeah dude, I love everything Sigma is doing with their DG DN line, but I have trust issues after all the test units I received over the years having some weird flaws...
@@MagicWeddingPhotographerI get that. I use an adapted Sigma 24 1.4 on my R6II. The AF is a nightmare compared to the native glass. But the Sigma 135 on the other hand is very reliable. 🤷♂️
False, the sigma 85 1.4 dg dn is smaller than the sony 85 1.4gm
oh yes you're correct! I forgot about that old 85GM!
Sigma for smart, Sony for rich😅
Haha, or Sony for those who need better AF :)
