I won’t use more than 2.0 on this lens, why would I buy an 1.4 if I don’t use it

@@sarfios If you actually know how to be a photographer and learn what the value of a wider depth of field is...

@@anonymousl5150 Dunno mate it's quite the opposite, you need to be a better photographer in order to compose more elements in a shot. Have the 50mm 1.2 SONY GM, the DoF is so thin I often have only in the plane of DoF rather than both. You know the better you become the more you'll see that bokeh is just the easy mode on a camera, try to shoot wide lens, no DOF and compose a good shot, then show me.

@@sarfios That's because you shouldn't be shooting wide open all the time in the first place. Learn how to shoot without relying on bokeh for subject separation. And 50 mm is not just a portrait lens with maxed out bokeh either.

@@anonymousl5150 Oh you didn't get it, never referred such thing. Reread.

Appreciate you 🙏🏼

I don't know I think the sigma is a little better in some regards.... Like Bokeh. More corner and edge sharpness in certain circumstances.

@@ramspencer5492 true. I think it’s just a way better deal overall. Typical Sony to significantly overprice everything.

In the world of lens, you shouldn’t say that, or everyone will be shooting with their phone. Because phone gets 70% of camera’s work done for free. If u want to play with a mirrorless camera, 400 dollars for a marginal gain to the public eye is the norm here.

@@whygamewhy try shooting with your phone in any kind of low light situation and then let me know if you still stand by your statement lol. Not to mention there are tons of other reasons why a camera phone cannot even compare to a mirrorless camera aka “real camera”

@@oldmanhendo7183 Like I said 70% of the function for 0 dollars, you lose some post potential and low light performance. You said that sigma is so much better for value because it achieves most of Sony for several hundred dollar cheaper. I am arguing that in the world of camera industry, that little improvements are worth the several hundreds more dollars because otherwise going from phone to camera is, by your logic, the least cost effective way to improve your photos in the first place.

it would be identical. The stabilization comes from the body, not the lens in this case.

@@justonbrazda3846 In the previous video you mentioned "“The third party lenses it’s not going to be as good as is for the Sony lens believe me I’ve been testing that quite a bit” . That is why I was asking :)

It’s actually very different

Video coming

I noticed in my a7iv using sigma less stabilisation than the sony lenses when I make videos .

I’ll be keeping it

Hello, why do you keep it? cause 1.2? I plan to buy a new 50mm (i just sold my 55f1.8) i l a pro video shooter. But in France the sony f1.4 cost 1600euros. the sigma 929 euros. And the f1.2 cost 2200euros but incan get an "old one" for around 1600euros.... What do you think of that? I work for corporate clients so the quality and the bokeh is important for me. I ve rent already the gm f1.2... Thanx for your answer!!! great videos anyway

how would he know that? and if he was testing it he wouldn't say.

As an owner of that lens, I can say that the eye AF is noooooot the best - but workable enough

@@OneRequiem123 not the best, but much faster than previous version......

Youre wrong here, think about it some more.

@@spakecdk MTF of these two lenes are capped by diffraction starting from f/4 already.

Yep

Except for manual focus , the damping on the new Sigmas focus ring, is 100% better than the no existent of the Sonys . For people coming from manual lenses ,at least having some damping helps , Sony is like a toy in this respect , they don't seem to care about manual focus operation at all now on their new lenses, which is odd as many are being used for video these days. I think the Sigma is a more robust build too.

@@robinprobyn1971 you're right. MF is better on the Sigma. Problem is 99% of people use AF.

@@justonbrazda3846 Sure for stills , and interviews in video , but for general "B roll" AF is not the best option, then you need decent MF, or at least dampening of the focus ring ! Thats wot I mean , Sony either don't even understand this or don't see the video user market as big enough to bother adding it to their design. Although strangely the much cheaper Sigma do ..

@@robinprobyn1971 well, I never use mf even for b roll. If I do I just use af them switch to mf. Never need to turn the ring.

PIZZA
