I did the same in Victoria secrets, and got kicked out and went to the police station, i told them i learned that from Jared and they let me go with 2 used panties as a gift.
I'm a professional videographer and I don't understand those videos saying there's not much difference between Sigma and G master. There's absolutely a massive difference between the image quality. You feel that G master is way more smooth and has more range in colors when you're shooting. I was using Sigmas in the beginning because I saw comparison videos prior to the purchase saying there's not much difference. But once I got my hands on G master lenses, I was like "What are those RUclipsrs saying!? G masters are way better than Sigmas". So G masters for me hands down.
Interesting take, but my experience has been quite the opposite. All of my native Sony lenses are consistently a stop darker compared to my Sigma lenses. For example, my Sigma 24-105mm f/4 is noticeably brighter than my Sony 24-105mm f/4, and the same goes for my Sigma 35mm f/1.4 versus the Sony 35mm f/1.4. This has been the case across multiple bodies, including the A7Sii, ZV-E1, and FX3. Yes, you lose out on features like focus breathing compensation and dynamic active stabilization with third-party lenses, but I wouldn’t call Sony glass 'significantly better.' Based on my experiences, Sigma lenses hold their ground and, in some ways, outperform native Sony glass. Of course, everyone’s mileage may vary, but I’ve been pretty frustrated with how Sony lenses stack up in this regard.
The reason I’ll take the Sigma is price. But the crazy thing is there was a time when 15fps was considered overkill and now it’s not acceptable if there’s something better.
For the bottom of my heart thank you for all your outstanding reviews! I've been watching you for at least 4 years now and became a full time professional during that period. You are without a doubt the single best review channel that I know of and surely saved me a lot of money!
I would love to get the Sony but for what I do, the Sigma is more than enough. The image quality and autofocus looks superb for portraits and it’s $450 less compared to the Sony. Photography isn’t my full time job either, so this new Sigma version of the 50mm 1.4 is close to perfect for me
I prefer having all the Sigma lenses instead of half the Sony lenses due financial situation... I have Sigma DG DN Art 24mm f/1.4, also Sigma DG DN Art 24-70mm f/2.8. Next one is gonna be Sigma DG DN Art 50mm F/1.4. Then I will start looking to buy Sigma 14-24mm F/2.8 DG DN Art... and so on :)
It's interesting to see that the Sigma & the Sony f/1.2 seem to be slightly darker with their images. Not sure if that's because of the time between shots changing the environment or not, but it is interesting to see either (I-ther) way.
I don't really do portraits so I probably won't get either. But the Sigma 20mm F1.4 DG DN is amazing for Astrophotography. Especially with the manual focus lock feature.
@JPMNRB If you don't need the extra wide 14mm, the 20mm works great and costs about $600 less. It is also smaller and lighter. When I need a wider landscape shot, I just take a few shots and stitch together a panorama from the raw files after the fact.
Agree, most can use either GM, or Sigma or indeed pretty much any half good 'nifty fifty' for decent real world results. For me I had no hesitation buying the new f1.4 GM for several reasons, even though I already owned the excellent 24-70 GM ii and 55mm F1.8. Why? a) I like shooting primes when I can b) I can afford it (or any of them) c) Value subjective - for me f1.4 is best d) f1.2 benefit is pretty marginal vs f1.4 and f1.2 doesn't broadly match other Sony primes (heft/mass) e) f1.4 GM is smaller, lighter vs others f) Shares same 67mm thread with 20, 24, 35 and 85mm Sony primes. g) Better focus breathing and in-body correction (on newer bodies) vs other 50s bar GM f1.2. h) Better low-light vs GM zoom i) Better gimbal experience as similar size to other Sony 67mm primes j) IQ is more than good enough I will now prob sell my excellent 55mm F1.8
I have to thank you. I’m a new photographer. And after watching this I took my cheap Sony 50MM 1.8 out to the local court and shot some of the best photos I’ve shot yet!
I was really torn on these lenses. I do concert photography and bought the Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 hoping it could cover me better from my trashy focusing Sony nifty-fifty. I shoot mainly really dark goth shows and the nifty F/1.8 could get better shutter speeds, but the focus on it was hunting constantly and just really shitty in these situations. So I bought the Tamron with lots of hope. But F/2.8 is just not open enough for these dark venues. I'm glad you mention the differences in focusing between the two because other than that - I might have considered the Sigma because I'm always trying to save a buck. But I think I need to bite the bullet and do the Sony in my case. I really miss the extra stops of light. I also miss having a really fast prime.
Totally agree with your take on shooting sports with primes. I shot some basketball on the Zeiss 85 1.8 and friggin loved the shots I got. A7 IV performed well enough to get some standout images that you just don't see all the time.
Not really related but recently got the Sony 90mm macro over the 105mm sigma, and oh boy does it work amazing for portraits and sports in good lighting. Love that we have these options with the emount system
Im definitely picking up the Sony 50mm F/1.4. Much more affordable and lighter so will help out with videography as well. I barely use F/1.2 so F/1.4 is enough for me. Thanks for the review Jared.
I will definitely get the Sony GM, not so much because of the size and weight, but more because i want to be able to match colors more easily when using fixed lenses (they are all Sony). Unfortunately the price difference in the EU is even higher (over 640 USD)
Hi, I am new to Sony (I recently purchased the A7R4). I am new to AF tracking also and wondering if you must hold down the AF-ON button continually and simultaneously press the shutter to get the action shots - or is there a way to lock the camera in AF-C with tracking on and just click away any time you want to shoot? Thanks
Thank you for the video. I will add the Sony f/1.4 to the video kit I'm building to use along side the 20/1.8, 24/1.4, and 35/1.4. Having similar size and filter use will be a big plus. I do already have the Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM that I use for portraits with the 85/1.4 GM and 135/1.8 GM and really like that so for now I will have them both when the pre-order arrives in May. Will sort it out by then hopefully.
I'm shooting an A7iii (24MP, no focus breathing, comp, no high-speed burst shooting). I went with the Sigma and put the $450 difference in my A7Rv fund.
In Germany, the price difference between the 2 lenses is even worse: Sigma 50, 1.4 (949 € ) VERSUS Sony 50mm 1.4 (1699€) = ===So the price difference is 752€€€€€€€
Like you said, a full pro should go with the Sony, but for me I am going with Sigma and saving the money for other items. I own the sigma 85 1.4 and the 24-70 2.8 and I am happy with sigma so far.
The bokeh on the Sigma is drastically worse. I don't get why some RUclips reviews don't state the obvious. It looks like the bokeh of a 150 dollar lens. You can literally see CA and ugly onion ringing in the example picture. The sigma 40mm F1.4 is by far superior to their 50mm F1.4 offerings.
Could it be that the Sigma appears to be longer since it's a physically taller lens and therefore slightly closer? Would that matter since the sensor is on the same plane in both photos? Interesting..
No... that shouldn't matter. When the 50 f 1.2 came out most of the reviews noted that it was slightly wider than other 50mm lenses and they guessed it was around 47mm. That's probably the same thing going on with the new 50mm GM. Good news is that after applying lens breathing compensation, the lens will be locked down at about a 50mm focal length.
Great review... I'm going to go with the Sony 1.4 because I already have filters for the 67mm, would have to buy a new set of filters for either the Sigma or Sony 1.2... 1/2 of my A7R4 is Sigma, 1/2 is Sony, so no allegiance either way... I think the Sony 1.4 is a clear winner for me in this case.
Most Sony lenses get 100 off with 'Welcome to Alpha', which can then also be combined with a summer or winter cashback. And often you have Sony 10% off days at stores.
I get so pumped with each and every new video. you put out! I'm still fairly new to photography coming from a graphic design background. I'm loving it! My focus so far has been more on sports photography because I had a switch to #SportsDesign graphic design edits in the past few years. I purchase a used Nikon D3400 to start for $150. Started w/ the kit lens but, a friend let me use his AF-S VR-NIKKOR 70-200mm 1:2.8G Nikon ED and I'm in love with the outcome! My nephew showed me his Sony camera w/ a similar lens that was a $2k lens - I was blown away by it all! Sheesh, I have a lot of work and money to save up to move up in equipment. Regardless, thank you Jared for all your work and inspiration to put out to the world!

I just wish this was available for canon. The more time that goes on with their third party ban into effect the more glad I am to have sold my RF mount cameras already.
Sony are locked in their business design, keep their own GM lens as the best of the best pair for their cameras making it the best options for pros, while leaving third party to do the entry to hobbyist level.
Incredible lens review but.....how are the images from a Sony flagship camera that sells for $6500 rendering such noisy and grainy images at 2500 ISO? Yikes!
I Cant do (NEITHER) one,,, I have an Canon Reble T7 is still an ok camera... but love the review and i prefer candy lol... but one day i need you to yell at me about my picuters because my family just keep saying that they all look good everytime i take a picture lol and i know that there is something wrong with it but cant move past that if i dont know what to fix about it... keep it up learning a lot...
Side by Side, the Sigma produces a slightly cooler image, but that's being nitpicky, and is very easily and quickly fixed by adjusting color temp in post.
If you are a professional and want to be covered by SONY PRO Support. If you enjoy taking photos with lighter and smaller kit. If you already use 67mm filters with your 24mm, 35mm, 85mm and your Tamron lenses. If 15fps is not enough for your photos. If you want top-notch AF and image quality. If you're somewhat worried by that glossy area at the rear of the SiGMA lens..
@Adam Adamis the image quality isn't any better as shown in the video. The AF isn't really that much better. All my kit is under warranty and insured so no need for Sony Pro support. Filters are neither here nor there for me apart from the odd one. I don't need more than 15fps either. So I'll repeat the question why would I buy the Sony when it's twice the price and doesn't offer me better image quality. If what you're saying applies to you fair enough but I'm more than happy with the performance of the Sigmas and Tamron lenses I use.
@antwilk1981 So, you answered your question. The Sigma is a decent, quality offering for the price if you are not bothered by the reasons I mentioned. Agree, Tamron and Sigma are great additional options to have, and more budget friendly. That said, Sony lenses often can be purchased a bit cheaper (thanks to cashbacks and 'Welcome to Alpha' offers)
It’s just a shame that Sony has to deliberately hamper the competition by limiting the FPS so that they can always have the edge over third-party lenses. It would certainly be more fair if they competed by offering superior optical performance and/or features for their higher asking price. I guess they can’t distinguish themselves enough on a level playing field so they put in a handicap. That certainly helps protect their bottom line but goes against "more competition is a good thing" which benefits the consumer.
How many need more than 15fps? It's hardly a problem for the competition. Meanwhile, Canon prohibiting any manufacturer from releasing any AF lens for their RF mount is a serious blow to the competition.
@@adamadamis Obviously Sony thinks there are many pros and serious enthusiasts that want more otherwise they wouldn’t restrict it on third-party lenses. What Canon is doing is even worse, I agree, but that doesn’t justify Sony imposing their own restrictions that only harm fair competition, innovation, and the consumer most of all.
@@glennn.3464 The 15fps limit applies to many Sony lenses as well, as they can't keep up with the camera's advanced AF. Only the best equipped Sony lenses (this 50 1.4 GM being an example) have quick enough motors that can keep up with the insane 30fps AF of the A1 or A9. Most other cameras don't offer more than 10fps anyway, and those are the cameras used by the majority of photographers anyway.
@@adamadamis that brings up my question... is this a limit set by Sony, or the limit of the sigma autofocus speed? If the Sigma can't reliably hit focus @ 30fps, I could see Sony limiting it for good reason.
@@taylorhickman84 My understanding is that most SIGMA lenses can't move the glass elements fast enough for 30fps with accurate AF anyway (let lone 10fps in some cases!). SONY are testing their own lenses, and know which ones are properly equiped to achieve accurate results at 30fps. It would make no business sense for SONY to waste time and money testing every single lens from the other manufacturers, for those lenses that might be able to achieve 30fps.
Gotta love the sniff test. I did that in a camera store once and the guy waiting on me asked if there was something wrong with it.
I did the same in Victoria secrets, and got kicked out and went to the police station, i told them i learned that from Jared and they let me go with 2 used panties as a gift.

@@taylorhickman84 True, that's correct.
Jared said at 1:12 that the Nikon and canon nail focus at wide apertures. Hence the Nikon focus is at power

I always base my purchases on your wind and sniff tests. Thank you for putting in the work!
Perfect timing, I've been contemplating between these two lenes.
Can be used for canon 90d?
Lighter, better AF motors and uses 67mm filter like all my other lenses. The GM is my pick.
I don't really do portraits so I probably won't get either. But the Sigma 20mm F1.4 DG DN is amazing for Astrophotography. Especially with the manual focus lock feature.
Is 20 better than 14 mm? I am planning to get either the sigma 1.4 or the sony 1.8 for Auroras.
@JPMNRB If you don't need the extra wide 14mm, the 20mm works great and costs about $600 less. It is also smaller and lighter. When I need a wider landscape shot, I just take a few shots and stitch together a panorama from the raw files after the fact.
But we can always change the lens hood of the sigma right?
Thank you for this comparison! I like the size and weight of the Sony, but for the price and near identical performance, the Sigma is hard to pass up.
You always shoot wide open for sports, I don't understand why people don't get that.
I love there’s choice for the Sony shooters. I’d probably buy the Sigma. I’m a Nikon shooter though.
You didnt mention that the Sigma is also available for LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL-Mount Alliance Alliance Alliance.
The colors in those game photos are great. Nice. What preset did you use to edit them?
Agree, most can use either GM, or Sigma or indeed pretty much any half good 'nifty fifty' for decent real world results.
For me I had no hesitation buying the new f1.4 GM for several reasons, even though I already owned the excellent 24-70 GM ii and 55mm F1.8.
Why?
a) I like shooting primes when I can
b) I can afford it (or any of them)
c) Value subjective - for me f1.4 is best
d) f1.2 benefit is pretty marginal vs f1.4 and f1.2 doesn't broadly match other Sony primes (heft/mass)
e) f1.4 GM is smaller, lighter vs others
f) Shares same 67mm thread with 20, 24, 35 and 85mm Sony primes.
g) Better focus breathing and in-body correction (on newer bodies) vs other 50s bar GM f1.2.
h) Better low-light vs GM zoom
i) Better gimbal experience as similar size to other Sony 67mm primes
j) IQ is more than good enough
I will now prob sell my excellent 55mm F1.8
I have to thank you. I’m a new photographer. And after watching this I took my cheap Sony 50MM 1.8 out to the local court and shot some of the best photos I’ve shot yet!

crank your ISO
I went for the sigma as I had the 85 1.4 and plan to buy the 35 1.4
What's the difference between "over" and "well over"?
Totally agree with your take on shooting sports with primes. I shot some basketball on the Zeiss 85 1.8 and friggin loved the shots I got. A7 IV performed well enough to get some standout images that you just don't see all the time.
Would this lens be good on a Sony A7ii
Not really related but recently got the Sony 90mm macro over the 105mm sigma, and oh boy does it work amazing for portraits and sports in good lighting. Love that we have these options with the emount system
Jared I think the sigma offers great value.
Thanks for mentioning the focus breathing compensation and the higher rate only being on the Sony lenses.
Is the fps half for all sony cameras or just the a9 and a1

Does this fit on a Sony alpha A7 IV
I've been waiting on this Fro. Thank you
would love 2 pickle sydneys beandip taco!
I respectfully disagree! I think that the cheerleaders ARE a distraction!
I'm shooting an A7iii (24MP, no focus breathing, comp, no high-speed burst shooting). I went with the Sigma and put the $450 difference in my A7Rv fund.
...Horizontical? ;-) Seriously though, this is a great comparison of the two lenses and it helped me choose which one I purchased. Thank you Jared!
In Germany, the price difference between the 2 lenses is even worse: Sigma 50, 1.4 (949 € ) VERSUS Sony 50mm 1.4 (1699€) = ===So the price difference is 752€€€€€€€
Can you please make a video on 'Comparison Sony a7iii vs a7cii'?
It's the first time that I hear about limitations on fps, are these limitations on all third party lenses?
Sony limits all 3rd party lenses to 15fps. But, it's only an issue if you own an a9, a9 II or a1...
aren't sigma lenses generally warmer than Sony? I couldn't tell a difference in a color or were the images edited to look the same in color?
it looks that way to me, her skin tones are better on the sigma IMO
Like you said, a full pro should go with the Sony, but for me I am going with Sigma and saving the money for other items. I own the sigma 85 1.4 and the 24-70 2.8 and I am happy with sigma so far.
how is 24-70 quality and AF? I am planing to buy one.
The bokeh on the Sigma is drastically worse. I don't get why some RUclips reviews don't state the obvious. It looks like the bokeh of a 150 dollar lens. You can literally see CA and ugly onion ringing in the example picture. The sigma 40mm F1.4 is by far superior to their 50mm F1.4 offerings.
My wallet is the only one that can tell the difference between the three.
I gotta be honest, i like the look of the Sigma more
Agreed, for portrait and street photography sigma gets the nod.
Could it be that the Sigma appears to be longer since it's a physically taller lens and therefore slightly closer? Would that matter since the sensor is on the same plane in both photos? Interesting..
No... that shouldn't matter. When the 50 f 1.2 came out most of the reviews noted that it was slightly wider than other 50mm lenses and they guessed it was around 47mm. That's probably the same thing going on with the new 50mm GM. Good news is that after applying lens breathing compensation, the lens will be locked down at about a 50mm focal length.
"Let me jump in here real quick" would you be interested in talking about Primerica?? If so, they would love to sit down with you.
Great review... I'm going to go with the Sony 1.4 because I already have filters for the 67mm, would have to buy a new set of filters for either the Sigma or Sony 1.2... 1/2 of my A7R4 is Sigma, 1/2 is Sony, so no allegiance either way... I think the Sony 1.4 is a clear winner for me in this case.
Great review, and I love you energy!
I prefer the skin tones on the Sigma. I know that can be changed in post, but just sayin.

If you already use 67mm filters with your 24mm, 35mm, 85mm and your Tamron lenses.
If 15fps is not enough for your photos.
If you want top-notch AF and image quality.
If you're somewhat worried by that glossy area at the rear of the SiGMA lens..
@Adam Adamis the image quality isn't any better as shown in the video. The AF isn't really that much better. All my kit is under warranty and insured so no need for Sony Pro support. Filters are neither here nor there for me apart from the odd one. I don't need more than 15fps either. So I'll repeat the question why would I buy the Sony when it's twice the price and doesn't offer me better image quality. If what you're saying applies to you fair enough but I'm more than happy with the performance of the Sigmas and Tamron lenses I use.
@antwilk1981 So, you answered your question. The Sigma is a decent, quality offering for the price if you are not bothered by the reasons I mentioned. Agree, Tamron and Sigma are great additional options to have, and more budget friendly. That said, Sony lenses often can be purchased a bit cheaper (thanks to cashbacks and 'Welcome to Alpha' offers)
@@antwilkphotographyI'm wondering the same for videography.
Great!
I usually only sniff the rear of the lens only 🤣🤣🤣
I'm not getting either of them since I don't shoot Sony, but I love Jared's reviews, so take the like.
And Nikon 50mm took the show 😀
Is it me or the background on the sigma looks a little bend? Like was a wide lens on the minute 11:50
Hi there, love from Israel.
It’s just a shame that Sony has to deliberately hamper the competition by limiting the FPS so that they can always have the edge over third-party lenses. It would certainly be more fair if they competed by offering superior optical performance and/or features for their higher asking price. I guess they can’t distinguish themselves enough on a level playing field so they put in a handicap. That certainly helps protect their bottom line but goes against "more competition is a good thing" which benefits the consumer.
How many need more than 15fps? It's hardly a problem for the competition. Meanwhile, Canon prohibiting any manufacturer from releasing any AF lens for their RF mount is a serious blow to the competition.
@@adamadamis Obviously Sony thinks there are many pros and serious enthusiasts that want more otherwise they wouldn’t restrict it on third-party lenses. What Canon is doing is even worse, I agree, but that doesn’t justify Sony imposing their own restrictions that only harm fair competition, innovation, and the consumer most of all.
@@glennn.3464 The 15fps limit applies to many Sony lenses as well, as they can't keep up with the camera's advanced AF. Only the best equipped Sony lenses (this 50 1.4 GM being an example) have quick enough motors that can keep up with the insane 30fps AF of the A1 or A9. Most other cameras don't offer more than 10fps anyway, and those are the cameras used by the majority of photographers anyway.
@@adamadamis that brings up my question... is this a limit set by Sony, or the limit of the sigma autofocus speed? If the Sigma can't reliably hit focus @ 30fps, I could see Sony limiting it for good reason.
@@taylorhickman84 My understanding is that most SIGMA lenses can't move the glass elements fast enough for 30fps with accurate AF anyway (let lone 10fps in some cases!). SONY are testing their own lenses, and know which ones are properly equiped to achieve accurate results at 30fps. It would make no business sense for SONY to waste time and money testing every single lens from the other manufacturers, for those lenses that might be able to achieve 30fps.
Fro knows fro-toe!!
the walking test the sigma was off sometimes the sony stood on the woman more then the sigma
Hi
i can't lie the sigma looks almost identical.
Makes me glad I chose Cannon a few years back
Thanks!
Skittles, BOOM
Can you please next time include the canon RF 50 1.4 ? How did you leave it out bro? 😂
The candy centre please.
no link to Sydney's gram
Jared you growing something in your studio, Snoop dog coming over.
People would be burning Canon down over limiting 3rd party lens frame rates!
Sigma #candyinthemiddle
why Sigma will not make 1.2 ?? Restricted? Sigma Is Way To Go Huge Cheaper Than GM same better glass...
Nobody needs 1,2kg lens ;)
