The 50mm 1.2 GM is the second best lens I've ever used. The 135mm GM is the best, but only by a hair. I just traded the 1.2 GM for the 1.4 GM, since I didn't use the lens very often. It will be interesting to see how it compares.

Hmm - in Australia the f1.2 is only four hundred more expensive than the f1.4, so I would go with the F1.2 everytime...

Awesome video Thanks ❤️🙌🏻

I live the olive green camera strap. Where can I get it?

3:59 You can't give those lens buttons different options. It's on function button on two different places for better reach. A direct comparison of the bokeh would have been nice.

I wish you had made some comparisons with the same shots to see the background blur between the two and other comparisons that would make it easier to choose.

50 1.2 all the way!!!!

A battle of the 50mm lenses available for Sony cameras would be interesting.

I wish they released a 50mm f/1.0 instead. Weight and price isn’t an issue

I have the 1.2 and love it. Saw the smaller sized 1.4 exists too, but I'm going to keep my 1.2.

Im curious, how do either compare of the 50mm gm’s compare to the older 50mm Sony Zeiss? Is it just size, weight, and focusing speed or is there a noticeable image quality bump as well?

Low light?

Happy with my 50 1.2! :D

If I could, because I prefer your videos to others. Could you not move the light out of frame on those b roll shots e.g. 3:58 keep the key light on the subject, or move it but don't move it off the subject. It's nice to have pretty b roll, but not if it's not down well, just make it simple and keep the key light still, it's actually a better production that way. Also, more b roll issues, they seem to be shot with the incorrect shutter angle/speed, or in 60p+ because they're extremely staccato and cut into seemingly correctly shot footage. Finally the stabs at the guy at the beginning for preferring the more expensive lens may have been rehearsed to be comical, but they didn't come across that way, instead I felt berated for my purchase of what's clearly; 1) The best fast 50mm af lens for the Sony system 2) One of the best 50mm lenses period 3) A relatively inexpensive lens considering it's performance. This makes me dislike the female presenter a little and makes the interactions awkward for no net gain. Just offer opinions, keep it simple, do less fancy stuff and add some important stuff (that was missed). Audio was also an issue and seeing as though it's the most important aspect of video, that'd be good to concentrate on, it's less difficult than video, you just needed someone to pick up on that noise which sounded like clothing rubbing on the mic before wrapping up shooting. The B roll at 4:44 seems incorrect, he's the 1.2 guy but the cutaway is to the incorrect product. I hope you take this as the genuinely honest criticism it's intended to be.

Whats the scoop on the inevitable GM 85mm 1.2 lens? It is not a want, I “NEED” it 🤣😂!

Thanks for the review. While I have the FE 50/1.2 GM I like the idea of smaller version that maybe for tuned to travel unless there arrives a f/1.8 or f/2 with an aperture ring. Tried the FE 40/2.5 G and while small just a little to slow for me. I believe Sigma plans to add a 50/2.0 to their DG DN I series which I will probably find interesting but not the quality of this. Lots to choose from for sure.

Dave > Ken (Barbie's boyfriend) Thanks for your comparison.

The Sony FE 50mm f1.8 sucks honestly. From using Canon f1.8 50's and vintage lenses, I was so disappointed with Sony's lens. I would LOVE to see them updated it and make a mirrorless lens rather than what is clearly their A Mount lens with a built in adapter.

50 f/1.2 GM.
