Great review. Straight to the point. What makes this lens so great is indeed the image presentation. It has that something extra that the other 50mm lens don't have. A bit like the 135mm f1.8 GM in that the image presentation is just lovely.
I’ve owned the 55 for 8 years and bought the 1.2 5 months ago - absolutely amazing lens but agree with everything you said, the 55 and 50 1.4 are both also fantastic. The look and performance of the 1.2 are just out of this world though.
The 50mm 1.2 is by far my favorite lens. Wide open its amazing but also stopped down to f8 it gives perfect corner to corner sharpness. Which for my niche, artwork documentation and reproduction, is so crucial. Only the 90mm Macro G and this 50 achieve that perfection corner to corner in my experience.
He's back!!!! So good.
Welcome back. Always happy to watch one of your videos when they pop up. Also, that’s a great shot that you are using for your RUclips banner. Cheers
You're back! Been missing your videos. Loved the latest presets you released. This is a lens I'll be buying this year. I got the 35 f1.4 GM last year and I absolutely love it. I can't wait to pick up the 50mm f1.2 for photo and video.
Good to see you back buddy. Been rocking your CTM presets for a while now :D
Welcome back, bro. Missed you haha
Have had the Sigma 35 1.2 since release and as you say, just has that special look. It’s made my right side stronger but wow, holding myself back from the 50 lol
two things. one thank you for the Raw files so much fun to play along.two great video nice simple to the point.
Thanks mate
Before I recently switched to Canon the Sony 50mm 1.2 was my favorite lens! It’s crazy sharp and so beautiful! Definitely by far the best Sony lens available today
What lens(es) did you get from Canon and why? :)
@@TerraThink I got the 28-70 f/2 for the low aperature and great prime like quality, the 70-200 f/2.8, the 15-35 f/ 2.8, and the 85 f/1.2. Favorite lens right now is the 85 for the insane bokeh. Also gonna pick up at 35 f/1.8 Macro lens this week and I shoot with the Canon R6 Mark ii
I love the 50 mm focal length and wanted the best 50 there is and this is it. Don't regret the money spent on this lens because the look and feel it just is beyond anything else.
Very kind of you to share some raw files.
I loved my 50 1.2, until the motor failed in it over Christmas. Everyone was asking me what was happening because it was so loud. Very little use other than portraits indoors.
BestBuy refunded it at 18 months old, shout out to Best Buy. Now I have to decide if I want to risk it again.
I splurged in november and bought the 50 1.2, I loooove it. But after seeing so many reviews comparing it to the 50 1.4 GM, I hardly see the difference. Iam thinking of switching just to have a smaller lens. But did you perceive any rendering difference between the 1.2 and 1.4?
Lots of differences. But you have to spend time searching for reviews that are not (1) sponsored by Sony, and (2) goes beyond "check these two photos I can't find a difference" type of reviews. Differences are: (1) slower autofocus, which is apparent when going above 10 shots/second. For most not an issue today, but will probably be an issue in the future if most Sony bodies gets faster. (2) Much worse lens flares, the f/1.2 is much better at lens flares. (3) Busier bokeh, not only smaller bokeh. Check Magic Wedding Photographer for examples, it's a quality issue. And finally (4) 30% less light, which makes a difference if you shoot evening/night time photos.
Looking good Chris! Congrats on the OG Land Cruiser too. Can tell you missed 24mm from your recent pics - that FOV is definitely you. Have you considered getting an a7RV? 26MP in medium raw but then have another mode setup for APS-C normal (again 26MP). You’ll get 24 1.4/35 2.1 out of the same lens and non-huge files too. Might work well for the full length verticals.
Ps you corrected that vid quick!! 🤣
be interesting to see how the new sigma 1.2 50mm compares man. Always love your uploads
Didn’t know that was coming. Looking forward to that
Those who bought the GM can remain relieved. From 'all' fiew reviewers I trust in regards to my interests, we wouldn't want to trade it in (first, in terms of image qualities, ..., last : no sony induced framerate limitation).
(However, I do prefer keep my DG DN f1.2 over the GM 35mm.)
I love it too .....24mm f1.4 GM ......50mm f 1.2 GM ........ Always
I want to get a 24mm...though I've never shot with such a wide angle. I shoot (photographically) mostly people and street stuff..so I imagine it'll be quite a challenge.
Very cool to see you’re making videos again Chris! =) Been missing that.
I don’t see myself spending that much on one single lens, even though there is something to be said about a really shallow depth of field on not-too-long focal lengths. That’s the reason I love the look that the 24 1.4 can give you. Same idea basically. Whereas the typical 85mm f/1.8 thing - I just can’t stand it anymore, and I only use long focal lengths when I need the reach for practical reasons, much like you I guess.
But because I don’t have the money to spend, I’ll stick with the 55 1.8 for the time being, and so far I’ve got no complaints. =) When I picked it up, I was shocked at how fast it focuses. Hard to believe Sony built a lens with such quick AF capabilities when at the time there wasn’t even a camera nearly fast enough to make use of that. Compare that to the cheap 50 1.8, which is slow AF (pun intended) and a disgusting bottleneck for any Sony camera from recent years.
I do keep my dg dn 85 over the gm.
However I still starve for a GM-type AF 75mm f1.2.
A hypothetical
24-70 at f 2
(instead of 2.8)
- I would go for it, 'no matter size'.
But not for any other zoom
(except my f4 24-105 for rare journalisne and video)
because otherwise I would under-use my gm 50 1.2, dg dn f1.2 35mm and 105 1.4.
I know that zoom range 20 -80 is tremendously rewarding to me, but I set this limitation over the f2.8)
Missed you brother
we gonna have 24 - 70 f2 GM soon. Are you going to grab one?
Eyy been a while! Glad you're back
A7r5 or a7iv for hybrid?
ALL is
( nicely, correctly concludedly)
said between 2:41 and 3:55.
(Just surprised You didn't realize it far longer ago. But hey,.. we are humans ❤
Beats me why, if you knew and loved the old Canon f1.2 50mm, you did not jump to find out right away.
