Jason stop making clickbait title of your video. Your content is good but dont lower it making clickbait titles.
Yes I hate these titles. Usually I skip them because I know their intention.
Bro this couldn’t be more accurate glad your pointing out its better to get the set that match . I love a good 1.4
great video . what
lens should I buy for filming unboxings, I also care about close-ups of products in macro 🐸
thanks for your precious advice
thank you for your precious view and comment
Let me correct you @jayson the price here in us for the 50mm 1.4 will be $1,300 usd . That’s $700 less than the 50mm 1.2 GM
Whoa that is a massive price difference. So much cheaper
Yeah I was expecting $1499 for this lens. At $1298 it moved up my watchlist from a no cop to a maybe down the road
I think I’ll keep my Sony 55mm 1.8. Looks nice though
Great review as usual Jason, but especially at everyone's favorite store B&H Photo and video, in the US the 50mm 1.2gm is $1998.00 and the 50mm 1.4gm will be $1298.00, so this price isn't even close at a price difference of $700. The Sony 35mm f1.4gm is actually $100 more so if you really, really, really don't need 1.2, I say stay with the 1.4, which is where I have my focus on. I do have the Sigma 35mm F1.2 and shooting at 1.2 for photography on that lens is spectacular because it is sharp wide open. Sony is actually killing the game when it comes to lenses and one of my absolute favorites in my kit is the 135mm f1.8gm, it really is my favorite lens.
Whoa that is a massive price difference
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Seriously, a $700 price difference for 1.2 and a much larger, heavier lens is not worth it.
@@RicochetForce yeah seems like australia & New Zealand don't get prices like that. Great for US customers
@@JasonMorrisphotocinemadude! Just wanted to say you are absolutely crushing these videos, amazing production value!!! I can tell the amount of work you put in. Cheers!
what a beauty love this Lens
Certainly is
Was going to get the 1.2 but this is the same quality for much cheaper. Already preordered it
This lens is incredible
Yes f1.4 GM is a great lens. I got mine this morning. Prefer to f1.2 on size, cost grounds and family similarity to 20, 35, 35. A fast well balanced team with standard 67mm filter thread.
50 1.4 is a great release for those who haven’t purchased the 1.2……I have the 1.2 but if I wouldn’t have, I would have saved some money and got the 1.4.
beautiful color(lut) and beautiful girl
Hey Jason - the Amazon link in description for 1.4 Sony GM actually goes to 1.2 Sony GM
I just like how Sony is making all their 1.4GM lenses the same size much like how Panasonic did with their F1.8 prime lenses. I hope Canon will make their primes similar as well. As of now, I just hope Canon has more wide angle prime lenses.
Did not realise there was another 50 coming. Though you made a typo 😂😅
eeeeep good spot
50 1.4 GM feels great.
looks great!
What len best for Sony a 7 c ?
To prove the point, over here the f1.2 costs only around US$1720 (street price) vs. US$1400 for the f1.4, which is just a US$320 price difference, about the same price difference as Jason mentioned. Having said that, the f1.4 will most definitely see a price cut soon after launch.
If you were to do in gym content both video and photos
Would you go with the 50mm 1.2 or 1.4
Or a 35mm 1.4 or 1.2
35 1.4
1:39. Sony is so close to making cine lens out of their new GM prime lens. Look at the almost similar size and focus ring position!
I wish they had actual cine lenses
Not sure if I ask you yet…is the Sony a7iv with Sony new gm 50mm 1.4 a good vlogging setup
No. Way too close. You want way wider. 20mm and under
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema thanks
The 67mm filter is definitely a PRO to the 1.4 I haven't heard other people mention. I do not have time to buy another Nisi Vari ND for a weird 72mm thread so I just have a 82mm and 67mm. The linear manual focusing is attractive.
Size is a big factor for me so I'm not in a rush to upgrade from my Zeiss 55mm 1.8. That extra 5mm produces pretty similar bokeh to 1.2 as shown on YT so A Cam interviews and the size is like a no brainer when traveling. 1.2 = $1999 / 1.4 = $1298 / 1.8 = $550 used.
the filter thread I feel is the biggest pro here too
nice renew, nice the model as well. Her eyes thouht looks sleepy, maybe is the macillage that makes her looks like this.
Also I’m gonna need a compression video and exporting In Davinci resolve which is best for for RUclips or instagram 😂
Watching this video and suddenly saw SGD, SINGAPORE REPRESENT!
This is the lens I've been waiting for. My 50mm has been the Sigma Art f1.4 for a long time now, and although it's a great lens I'm ready to upgrade. I've been very close to pulling the trigger on the GM f1.2 so many times, but the cost always made me hesitate. I just can't justify the cost when the Sigma is honestly giving me everything I need. The new GM f1.4 is perfect, in both price and size. I already have the 24mm and 35mm GM lenses, and this new 50mm looks like it fits perfectly alongside those. So while it is somewhat redundant, I'm already head over heels for this lens.
sigma has a new 50 1.4
What makes you pick the Sony g over the Art? Was gonna pick up the Sony 1.4!
@@fabianj6008 Sony has slightly better IQ, probably better AF and it's smaller. Sigma DG DN Art is very similar. Sigma Art (the old one) has bad AF, it's big, not as sharp in the corners and lots of fringing. However Sony is more expensive by about 500$.
@@sulev111 thank you very much!
@@fabianj6008 "Sony vs Sigma | Battle of the Premium 50mm F1.4 Titans" - Dustin Abbott released a video today.
But i want f1.2 consistency :))) so 35 and 85 1.2 where are u.
About 50mm i already have anamorphic eq. Of it 85mm 1.8 squeeze f2.8. Really looking forward for actual 85mm offers
Thanks, Jason, good review. Yes it's a dilemma which to pick (albeit a nice one). I'm strongly leaning to the f1.4 GM. I'm lucky that I can afford either, but feel more compact form is a better trade off and likely means it will get used more often. I also own the sister GM primes 24mm f1.4 and 35mm f1.4 so similar size and filter threads is also a good reason to pick the 1.4 variant.
I love my 55mm 1.8 😍
It's a nice price tag but I'm fine with my 85 f1.8.
Until you try the 50mm f1.2 🥵
Yes, both lenses are totally overpriced and not worth the money. The 1.2 looks 98% like the 1.4. That 1/3 of stop difference does not pull the rabbit out of the hat.
In my opinion both lenses are sharp only - they don't have character like older lenses.
Would you sell your sel50f12gm to buy sel50f14gm?
This lens has convinced me to sell my 24-70 GM ii and get this and a 24mm 1.4 GM. With apsc mode I can get 36mm and 75mm which is good enough for me, but the increased sharpness and contrast and bokeh of the GM primes is something the latest Sony GM zooms can’t keep up with. I have the 14mm GM and had the 35 GM, and it’s just a better looking image.
I love my 24mm GM, it's amazing!
Yeah nice! This certainly is an incredible lens
I'm on the opposite side of the spectrum: If I had a 24-70 GM II I would let go of my 24mm GM. Don't get me wrong, great lens but the convinience of having just one lens personally far outweighs the tiny loss in sharpness. The 24-70 GM II is very sharp for my needs and to be honest all modern lenses are very sharp. So sharp that sometimes it makes tweaking portraits a pain (I'm looking at you Sony 90mm F2.8 macro!) Are you more into video or photography?
@@lucasliaskos it is a sharp lens, but the direction I’m going I want more bokeh, and low light ability. I’m going to be making a lot more video content locked off on a tripod around New York City, getting footage to sell as stock footage where the competition is stiff and the 24-70’s 2.8 isn’t quite enough, and a lot less of the event coverage that I’ve been doing with zoom lenses. This light weight 50 GM makes it all possible, I hate carrying heavy lenses, and if given a choice for nearly the same price, I’d choose the 24-70 over the 50mm 1.2, but this new lens opens up a lightweight kit of uniform GM primes that I can see myself bringing everywhere and not regretting it.
@@GunslingerMediaCo I see, makes sense. Good luck with your future work brother, hope you do well.
compare the 50mm oss with this
$700 price difference from the f/1.2 is a big deal, especially if the aging Sony Planar T* FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA Lens is freaking $1,500 and inferior and this one is $1,300. It makes total sense. The Zeiss lens is the worst 50mm f/1.4 lens on E-mount now and the most expensive!
Whoa massive price difference. Well looks like the 50mm f1.4 is definitely the lens to get
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Yeah prices in Ausitralia can be a bit tricky. Funny enough, we tend to even get cheaper deals for some Sony lenses. Got my 200-600mm G for only $1650 USD brand new in Oman, and the Sony 50mm f/1.8 is around $115 new. Sony a1 can be found for around $2100 or less new. VAT is 5% over that, 2 years ago there was no VAT...😢
I dont understand the release of this new lens. Iris lock & lighter design? Sounds like sony is going to have two type of g master lens. 1.4 series and 1.2 series like old canon lens. Hope they don’t mess it up their reputation..
I can see where you are coming from. I can see why they did this. Having an f1.4 range isn’t a bad idea specially being a cheaper price than the f1.2 range and smaller
Another 50 gm?? I just want 85 f1.2 tbh. Honestly don’t know why they released it but ok (is it reaaaaly for gimbals?) There is a bit too many 50mm lenses on sony side
85 1.2 is the most overrated thing ever - would be one hell of a bulky nightmare with just a 1/3 higher stop vs 1.4 - what’s the point? I think RUclips world is one big Bokeh-land
There are 4 x 50mm lenses under f1.8 now. This certainly has a really great spot because of the quality and size. The zeiss 50 is old and terrible and so is the Sony f1.8
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema 100% agree :-)
@@popartmediaPL Yeah my Zeiss 85mm 1.4 is shallow AF. I usually stop down more than I desire more separation or low light. 1.2 is a flex
I think this new lens might of destroyed the resale value if my 1.2.
The 1.2 still has a lot of benefits but the 1.4 does offer that value
Still waiting for focus breathing comp on my A1…… really fed up with Sony at this point
I have no idea what sony are doing with the A1. I feel your pain my friend
✌...
Prices are not higher in Europe... In Europe it's illegal to display prices without tax. So what you see there is the final price to pay, while in the US you have to add tax to that. It ends up being similar, depending on tax rates of different countries.
I am just going off what other people are telling me who are over there in different countries. US seem to have the cheapest prices overall compared to other places
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Yes, because they don't count the differences in taxes in different countries.
But because they pay 5% more on their lens, they never have to worry about paying medical bills in their life for example. Or they don't even notice they're comparing a price with taxes included to a price with no taxes. So a simple statement "it's cheaper there" is not relevant.
But anyways, great videos :)
@@lukastemberger very interesting. Thank you for commenting this my friend
1.2 all day
💯
You’re holding Singapore dollar notes?
haha I am. Going back there soon
The better question is:
Why buy the 50mm F1.2 GM?
In all the blind comparisons I've seen done between the two professional photographers cannot tell the difference between 1.4 and 1.2
That means you're largely paying another 600-700 dollars far additional mass and volume to the lens. The F1.4 gets you 95% of the F1.2's performance for much less.
In this case, get the smaller, lighter, cheaper lens. Hell, I'd recommend the Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG DN as well, it's just bulkier and heavier than the Sony counterpart.
But this doesn’t have bad focus breathing not bad
I'm using the 1.2, the price is nowhere close.
I love the f/1.2
for me the 1,4 is 700 dollars cheaper than the 1,2 ;-; not like I can afford either 💀
don't oversaturate your footages pls.
Sir I m a new photographer will you like to give away the lens so I can use in m Sony A6000
I would be tempted but as they can’t be arsed to add focus breathing comp to my £3500 A7siii I think I’ll pass and get cheaper Sigma.
I have no idea why they haven’t 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Soooooo frustrating! Love your vids though man!
I am going to answer the question in your title, noppppp
Hahaha why?
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema I guarantee you you can do a way better photo using the Samyang 59mm 1.4 for even the old Sony or sigma, maybe the new Sony is more sharp but can add this in Lightroom or whatever software, always it going to be a better lens
@@MelvinDlaCruz what about video? Auto focus speed and can is be paired with the A1 to keep up with 30 stills per second in burst mode
Your hands are out of focus. Is this what made you do the don't ruin your shot video?
Canada is dumb hahaha F1.2 $2599.99 & F1.4 $2399.99. $200 difference.
It is so strange the difference in price in some countries. the US seems to have gotten the best deal out of everywhere with almost $700US difference
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema that makes sense to me, why would i anyone in CA get the 1.4 when 1.2 is so close in price
Mate you're trying too hard to sell the Sony GM line up when the older 50mm 1.4 ZA not only gets the job done but with plenty great. The 1.2 or the 1.4 GM is definitely not justified over the 50mm 1.4 ZA.
I came. I disliked the clickbait. I left.
Get the Sigma instead
Definitely could that’s for sure. Just depends on what the individual wants
Horrible chromatic abberation in that lens..its crazy
Sigma makes great lenses, but that thing is long for a 50 prime. Not great for gimbal balance
No time for smartarse presenters who think they have a right to abuse the time and attention of others! Look up the word "integrity". On behalf of the silly clickbait title, those who distrust attention seekers, and any other misused or abused words and phrases, your channel blocked FOREVER!! Regardless of the content, not worth a cup full of cold water on your terms!
I wish these photography channels didn't all have the same cheesy music. What's up with that?
sorry I can't please you with your style of music. I will try better next time
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Hi Jason, sorry if I sounded a bit rude. I didn't mean anything personal. by it... I think that when I watch a filmography or photography RUclips video, and i watch a lot of them, I notice that I very frequently have to mute the volume when there's a music interlude that to me often sounds like Techno Smurf beats. It reminds me of fake fragrances in a Lyft car.. I realize that there are copyright rules that contrent creators have to follow. I guess if I had my own channel perhaps I would want to have a unique choice of music rather than following the trend. Ok, I hope I'm not sounding like an a hole..
@@lucacarena9908 the difficult thing is music is subjective. Not everyone likes the same music I do. It’s the reason why weddings don’t generally play heavy metal music, but there are always this exceptions. Each to their own and you’re entitled to have your own opinion on music
@@lucacarena9908 Try being a creator and shop for actual music that won't actually get you copyright hits, demonitized or shut down, it's much more difficult than you would think. We do RUclips Live Streaming for clients and have had copyright flags and shut downs for licensed music that we had paid a lot of license because the library company wasn't up on their whitelisting. It's all done by bots, you cannot talk to a human, argue or make a case or prove that you licensed said music, there is no process or phone number you can call. On RUclips, any individual can claim they own the copyright to any music as far as RUclips is concerned, they demonitize it and take their cut. There are a lot of scammers out there that have made YT Copyright Claims their business models, just like patent trolls. I'm not sure how RUclips arbitrates between these scammers and ASCAP?
Just like Tik Tok, there is a reason you hear the same type cues over and over again on RUclips, unless you are a musician and own the copyright to your own music tracks, it can be insanely hard to find good music that isn't massively overexposed. RUclips doesn't give a crap about actual musicians, artists and filmmakers, they don't care if you licensed music used in your video or not, they only care about demonitizing, sending the money to Copyright Scammers/ASCAP and getting their cut.
Terrible advice
