FAQ: The 35mm f/1.8 has a closer focusing distance than the 35mm f/1.4, so why did my test show the 35mm f/1.4 filled the frame with the camera more? It's the difference between maximum magnification and close focusing distance. The 35 f/1.4 has a min focus distance of 9.8", while the 35 f/1.8 is 8.7". So, yes, the f/1.8 can focus at a shorter distance - BUT - the focal length must shrink to 25mm or 30mm or so because of focus breathing (we have a video on this topic). The 35 f/1.4 has a max magnification of 0.26x, whereas the 35 f/1.8 has a max magnification of 0.24x. Thus, the 35mm f/1.4 fills the frame with the subject more, even though it's further away. It probably stays closer to a true 35mm than the f/1.8 lens does. You don't actually care about minimum focusing distance - you care about maximum magnification. Here's a video on the topic: ruclips.net/video/XP5-e4Q01Ac/видео.html
It’s good you explain things to make it easier to follow. However, I would like to see more Nikon lens reviews. The Nikon 35 f1.8 and the 35 f1.4 both have the same 0.16x maximum magnification. However, with Nikon the 35 f1.4 still seems to fill the frame with the subject better than the 35 f1.8. Nikon pretty much puts the magnification theory on the back burner again. Yes, the Nikon 35 f1.8 gets in closer than the 35 f1.4, so I don’t know what’s going on. Maybe because the 1.4 lens is bigger or it’s more about the apertures? That is really puzzling.
@@uncruckus9345 Thats I thought, the one's closer to a true 35mm is the f1.8, the gm has focus breathing problem and thats why it has tighter view, yet it zooms closer than the f1.8
Thanks for comparing the 1.4 GM against the 1.8! Most of the other RUclipsrs didn’t think to do that. That’s the comparison of new glass that matters the most. The 1.8 held up well for the price!
I am a professional wedding photographer and IMHO the Sony 1.8 series is a lot better option for most people. In the real world you will never see a difference (and most importantly: you clients certainly wont) but they are lighter, smaller and a lot cheaper for almost the same performace. Yes they are not weather sealed but in all those years I have never shot in conditions a normal lens could not handle. And yes they can not gather as much light, but this is also not a problem with modern cameras and high ISO values. Great work from Sony with the 35 1.4 GM though
would like to see comparisons to other manufacturers, like sigma, samyang, tamron in your lens reviews, as those are hugely relevant to most people watching the videos.
@@TheKMov Yeah that's what I meant...Zeiss branded lenses are not Zeiss lenses per se. Their original lineups (Otos but even the lesser Batis) are just superior.
@Any RD I tend not to judge lenses according to Dxomark rankings. Most of the Zeiss lenses own are sharper than I need and have a lovely character and very nice color rendition. Something that some super-duper-sharp Sigma lenses for example don't have.
What a coincidence that you absolutely unbiasedly (if thats even a word) reviewed this lens along with Lok, Jared and god knows how many reviewers and released the video at the exact same time.
There are embargoes - and often they have to post on a specific day. Rules about when they can post and all have the same rules. There's nothing sneaky going on.
Why use the high res mode for the sharpness test? Since the camera is not actually taking one 240MP image the lens wouldn't have to resolve that much detail, right? Would the sharpness difference really be different than in just the 60MP images? Or does combining them amplify the sharpness differences? Also your model's expression makes me think I just asked her to give me a ride to the airport 🙃
The stacking amplifies the demands on resolving power on the lens, if it can't resolve pixel level differences really well then you end up with a worse HR stack (think garbage in garbage out)... It seems counter intuitive at first, just need to think about it for a min.
@@TiaHermana43 thanks! I don't think it's counter intuitive at all, I had just never seen a comparison of two lenses using both methods, so I was assuming the sharpness differences would just carry over 1:1
A comparison to the Sigma 35 1.4 would've been nice, as that one is already regarded as the higher quality alternative to the Zeiss. So is the GM worth it compared to the Sigma at basically double the price?
Great review. Covered most things in a clear way. I would like to see some real world shots on a lower mp camera to show what differences I would see in my own photographs. The Zeiss flaws are probably obvious but the 1.8 may hold up very well.
I've been debating on whether to go with Sony or Canon for quite some time now. The Canon wins in ergonomics and still outperforms with the lenses but this lens might have me grabbing a Sony. I'd love to see how this lens compares with Canon's 35 L II.
I jumped Nikon's ship over the summer to the Sony a7r4. Shortly there after Canon came out with the R5 and I started to get buyers remorse but realizing that with my budget I could have never gotten the body, a 24-70 2.8, and 70-180 2.8 in if I waited for canon. Having really good 3rd party lenses available is the game changer for me since I'm not a money making professional.
@tony & Chelsea:Did you realized this massive focus breathing in the second scene.Its from 40 seconds till 1 minute and 52 seconds.That looks really bad.
The GM images look very nice. Unfortunately it has focus breathing which makes it harder to use for focus stacking. If that wasn't the case I'd get it.
Thanks for this video. I've been wanting to buy a prime lens and debating between the f/1.8 and f/1.4. Since I am an amateur, the f/1.8 has such amazing value and will probably be plenty powerful for my projects.
Thanks for the review! I own the Sony Zeiss and sample variation is really high. A test by the guys from LensRentals showed this. My copy happens to be excellent. However, having the 24 GM definitely would sell anyone on the G Master line.
He said he will work on his hoarding issue. When a new replacement comes in then you get rid of the used one. Also helps save money on your new purchase, more room in the closet, and everyone on the house benefits.
wide angle lenses very very very often have problems in the corners, in chromatic and in speed that lens not having that is a very good result there are 85 mm lenses that have such results but to find 35 or lower focal lenghts are rare even in 2021 i wonder if they could make a 20 mm focal length lens also without that problems (dream)
If 35mm is your favorite focal length, then this lens should be pretty compelling. I'm impressed by the size, price and performance. Wondering if the availability with follow other GM primes patterns. 🤔
Great review, and thanks for the KEH promo code. I really need to get going and clean my closet out. You're right, no reason to be a collector of unused stuff someone else my shoot with everyday. I owned the Sony/Zeiss 35mm f/1.4 several years ago, and while it did give a sort of "art" look to many images, one of the special looks in the way that Leica M lenses (other than the new APO series) can give. With a 42 megapixel sensor at the time (A7R III) is was for practical purposes pretty sharp in the center wide open, and very good stopped down to landscape type apertures. I didn't really care for it, as the poor contrast got in the way for me. This new lens looks like an incredible value for its price. Hopefully you'll shoot some actual photographs in a range of situations in a follow up review.
Yes. All of these tests are imo, largely a waste of time. In real world use these differences with chromatic aberration and fringing are negligible. They are there, and they aren't a big issue. And if they do bother you enough, you can remove them in 10 seconds in post. All of these sony lens are very sharp, don't buy into the hype that you need to spend thousands for good optics.
Thanks Mate for such detailed comparison review, i am comparing Sony 35gm and Sony 35 1.8 ,If I am a video maker and don’t really mind focus breathing issue. Wondering the video images quality gonna make any noticeable difference on FX3 ‘s 4K 10bit ? Consider the resolution is very low on 4K. My key consideration is image quality on video.
Curious why you did a comparison (at the 9:34 mark) by using 240 mp as in a laboratory situation when 99.9% of users don't shoot in a lab? I get that it will show the minute differences but why not also show a real world image scenario?
I used the Zeiss 35 1.4 for a while and liked the pictures I was getting, but didn't like the pictures I was missing because that lens focused quite slow. It would be interesting when reviewing primes to test how fast a lens focuses from power on, or when a subject pops into the frame.
Definitely get that lens if you can afford it. But aps-c users if your not ready to buy a lens that cost more then your body.....get a Sony 35mm F/1.8 oss. Fantastic image quality from corner to corner gorgeous Boca and only like 300$ definitely you can do a lot (Aps-c users) with that 35mm lens
I think that the only reason to pay more for the Zeiss version would be the name. I’m not saying that it’s a good reason, but vaunted names have value. It’s the same reason that Leica has overcharged for years on slightly modified Panasonic and Minolta products. Also the Zeiss name could help at resale.
I dont understand why they keep the Zeiss lenses at their original prices, rarely ever dropping prices. "People loves Bokeh," photographers loves bokeh, clients hardly ever notice! Thanks T&C, your opinions are a service to the photo community!
Taiwan filled preorders on the Sony 35mm f/1.4 GM at the beginning of Feb. I've had mine for 2 weeks and love it. If you go budget and buy the f/1.8 lens, never pick up the GM lens and use it. You'll hate yourself for not spending the extra bit of cash to buy it. Is it worth twice as much as the Sony 35mm f/1.8? Most definitely! As for the Zeiss 35mm lens, forget about it.
i think considering the price for each, they all fit their range quite well. f1.8 is phenomenal and cheap. f1.4 zeiss increases the price incrementally for the extra aperture for a slight compromise on the IQ (seen videos in the past where it gives comparable results at f1.8), and the f1.4 gm gives no compromise at a price best suited for pros.
Sony 35mm Distagon is a great lens but its expensive , big and heavy....35mm 1.8 is ideal modest choice ....24mm 1.4gm great lens but too wide ....I ordered the 35mm 1.4gm and i am curious about it. Great Review thank you very much.
tony I watched your videos all the time, but this company you recommended don't pay you what your lenses really worth. I try it recently with a canon 70-200mm 2.8 L Prime lens only a years use, offer me a ridiculous offer. you and your wife, have the best and coolest videos.
Seen a lot of great reviews of this new lens! I am keen for a 35 and excited for the RF 35 1.2 DS that should be releasing this year... not as much light but pairs so nicely with the 28-70 and 85 DS
In short - go buy the 35/1.8 and don't look back. The real life difference in IQ will be insignificant and the savings in money and size will be noticeable.
Nice comparison, but I was hoping on how it will preform in astrophotography. Is it better than the 24GM. just seeing if it be my new 360 astropano lens
Great 3-way comparison, I definitely must sell my 35ZA... but not to buy the 35GM, I will rather go wider to the 24GM and skip the 35mm focal length for now. Next is 50GM, next is A7M4 or A9R, and only then will I consider 35GM
The whole "4 times a much light" thing is only relevant when you can accept a very shallow depth of field. I shoot products that need to be in complete focus and shoot much of the time at F8. You are just feeding your bokeh addiction. I don't get it....
Idk what has been going on with Sony lately but damn they're almost doing everything right. The only thing I'd say that was underwhelming from them lately was the A7C but its still a great camera

Try Zeiss Otus 😂

I guess this is a "must have" lens if you want to get that blurry background... Its hard to get it with 2.8F
Not really, just get closer to your subject. The closer you get the blurrier the background will be.

Lighted museum display case format for the power tools.
Very glad I bought the f1.8
The Zeiss is an embarrassment. The 1.8 is a great lens for the price for a casual photographer or someone just starting out.
Great 3-way comparison, I definitely must sell my 35ZA... but not to buy the 35GM, I will rather go wider to the 24GM and skip the 35mm focal length for now. Next is 50GM, next is A7M4 or A9R, and only then will I consider 35GM
The whole "4 times a much light" thing is only relevant when you can accept a very shallow depth of field. I shoot products that need to be in complete focus and shoot much of the time at F8. You are just feeding your bokeh addiction. I don't get it....
Be sure and compare the Nikon lenses you are using on your upcoming Z7ii review with these lenses!
Closets by design do your guys garage cabs?
What about the focus breathing?
Idk what has been going on with Sony lately but damn they're almost doing everything right. The only thing I'd say that was underwhelming from them lately was the A7C but its still a great camera
