Well actually, it's fine at 1.2. (see link) But the more you close the diaph, the more you can "zoom" yes. I guess it's ok as you buy this lens to use it mostly at very low aperture? ua-cam.com/video/ywlm1ZtcKQk/v-deo.html
Sony has been killing it with the G Master lenses lately. My amateur skills can't justify this lens but hopefully they come out with an updated 50mm f1.8. I'm hoping for the same quality as the 85mm f1.8, just in a 50mm version.
Just picked one up a few days ago. Literally nothing to complain about except the focus breathing. That said, I'm using it on an A7IV and it has a new breathing correction feature and this lens is supported. It does apply a very slight crop, but breathing is basically completely eliminated. Not sure if the SIII or A1 already have this, but if not hopefully they get it soon.
I have to say with the plethora of information camera reviews and such on UA-cam I feel like I can always count on you two for honest and quality and unbiased reviews! Thank you both for what you do!!!!
Great lens! People sometimes critique Sony about the size of the mount, but on the other hand, it looks like it helps in have a super-compact kit, especially when it comes to the lens. I don't see anything as compact as Tamron zooms (17-28, 28-75, 28-200, 70-180) or Samyang "Tiny but mighty" primes on Canon/Nikon/Panasonic. Some of those Samyang primes are even smaller than lens mount on Canon/Nikon :)
@@planetfun85 It obviously refutes the nonsense claim that Nikon is being shunned by reviewers. The actual issue is that Nikon is incapable of delivering products consistently and on time because they're in major financial trouble and cutting all sorts of corners. When they can't ship loaners for testing, of course there won't be testing.
Nice review, appreciate it, but I'm a little puzzled why you didn't test the lens in low light? When I talked to Sony, they indicate the F1.2 GM is aimed for low light situations, but none of your testing was in low light situations?
Just bought it and oh my the focus is incredibly fast. It is better in every way than the Zeiss 1.4 50mm, but if you already own the Zeiss and like it I would hesitate to upgrade the Zeiss is also incredible. Except for the quality control problems
@@gurugamer8632 Reportedly the Zeiss 50 1.4 and 35 1.4 have problems with decentering or a plane of focus that isn’t straight across. The GM 50 1.2 is better in every single way I think but it’s 2k
I own a Nikon and have absolutely no plans on switching to Sony, but I watched this video anyway because Chris and Jordan are just entertaining to watch. I hope you will keep up your great work for a long time!
We still need to put focus breathing in perspective - Nikon seems to have put in effort to reduce it, but I'm sure Canon's offering breathes similarly.
Who cares about breathing on an f/1.2 lens? Virtually nobody shoots video with such shallow depth of field, and for photography it absolutely does not matter. At all.
Great review. I think it will be awesome if you shoot the video with the lens or camera you are reviewing for - yeah that would be too much variable for the editing, etc. I know.
Hey Chris, Can you please do a comparison on best Zoom Lens for Video. -Canon RF 24-70mm F2.8L IS USM Lens -CANON RF 28-70MM LENS F/2 L USM -Sony FE 24-70mm f2.8 G Master Lens -Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 AF DG DN Art
That lens looks awesome enough that I almost jumped on preordering it. What is really needed though is a quality 50 1.8. Cool to shut up some haters, but a great 50 1.8 would sell like hot cakes. Gonna continue to hold out for that myself.
The first and only opinion piece I saw about this went into great detail about how Sony's lenses were fundamentally limited by their ridiculously undersized mount and proceeded to list off a bunch of DSLR lens mounts as examples of how full frame mounts needed to be larger than what Sony was using. Without a hint of irony or awareness, or addressing the obvious contradiction, the list included the Canon EF mount which is about the same size as the FE mount, and the Pentax K mount which is *smaller*.
I have been trying to figure out which camera i should buy next. Should it be a canon, sony, nikon or anything else. I finally almost zeroed in on a7iii, then i saw a7c, back to confused state again!. All these lenses from sony are damn expensive, not sure if these should be, considering alternatives like tamron, sigma etc sell same spec lenses for almost half price. Reviews point out they give almost the same quality, if not marginally better in some cases😃
Looks like a really nice lens.. But having used 35 and 50 before.. I end up shooting and using 35 more.. so I'll stick to my 35GM and skipping this 50 GM.. If I need the range.. I have the 85GM.

Sony vs. Canon. Weight: 778 g, compared to 950 g. Diameter: 87 mm, compared to 90 mm. Length: 108 mm for both. How is the Sony lens "very compact and lightweight compared to the Canon"?
@@extremephilou How is it, then, that "it begins" (...and just about the weight...) suddenly becomes "very compact and lightweight compared to". Why this constant confabulations about Sony products?
@@nimbuskhannk627 Ah, just because you cut his sentence, "compared to the Canon and the Nikon" and because he generalised the idea. (Not precise, but as we have the numbers we can figure out that "compact" is compared to the Nikon and "lightweight" is for both) Is 22% a big difference? Well it's up to you to decide.
The problem with the E mount is the ibis. This is Sony's forth generation ibis and its worse than other companies' first attempt. There's simply not enough room for proper vibration compensation without crop.
Back in the analog days from the 1970´s to the 1990/2000´s a 50mm was just a "cheap" kit lens that almost everyone got together with the camera, but only a very few ever used a 50mm, I think (and many others) that lenses from 45mm and every lens shorter plus every lenses from 55mm and longer are the best choice ! I like the Sony Zeiss Sonnar 55mm 1.8 because it is so light and compact, I want it in a new and better optical version (an aperture ring will be very nice). Even better will a 60mm 2.0 be !
A'other pleasing video to watch, as always guys! 😊 One thing I'd have liked to see : 2 or 3 examples of aperture changes on a particular scene, to see the actual difference in dof between F/1.8, F/1.4 and F/1.2. Next time maybe?
watching some classical movies, I can see focus breathing lens a lot, and don't really think that focus breathing is that much of an issue for video for focus stacking - yes, that's an issue, sadly
Because he is used to it. And for this show, manual focus is easy because the subject is never moving, makes it easy to not depend on an autofocus system.
Wow this was short. Why no comparison to the Sony F1/4?? Missed opportunity there... no night/low light tests? This one was kinda lazy & quick. I expect more from you guys.
Owner of the 50 and 55mm ZA lenses. I could see myself selling off the 50 f1.4 ZA to buy this lenses. It hits everything I need or want. Would keep the 55mm for it's size. As that a much easier lenses to bring around.
Very nice lens. Great optical characteristics, aside from the terrible focus breathing. I like the very sharp look with a creamy enough bokeh. The price is not low but appropriate (considering the competition) and the relative small dimensions and lightness. How does this feel to use for street photography? Is it fatiguing on the long run with an a7R IV? Is the autofocus actually quick and reliable in a chaotic street situation?
Stellar sharpness at 1.2f across the frame means that the bokeh and 3d separation is not that great. Majority of new design lenses suffer from this trait, Sigma ART series were the first ones to show this... 11 aperture blades are a good thing though, for 1.2f 11 is probably a minimum in order to make those bokeh balls round from 2f to maybe f4
“As with any GMaster lens the construction is very rugged…”. I don’t agree with this though. I have several GM lenses and they all feel like they are not going to last very long- plasticky and feels cheap. The resale value is very poor too, so I just decided to keep them. That being said the IQ is awesome, it’s just the build quality that is dubious. I had a Sony Zeiss lens 2 years ago and it felt premium and heavyduty compared to GM lenses.
Looks like a great lens for low light. I'm more photo concerned so focus breathing doesn't bother me much if it's fast to focus still. Would probably be my main lens if I used Sony. I use Fuji APS-C and the 35mm f/2 breaths like mf but it's super fast so never has been a problem. My 50mm f/1 has been a huge joy with almost no breathing but slower focus comparatively (not slow in general, faster than the 56mm f1.2).
Jordan should have used a Sony with eye AF for the ending shot? ;-) Great intro and nice short video! Did you check focus breathing at different apertures? It seems this makes a difference? ua-cam.com/video/ywlm1ZtcKQk/v-deo.html
Of all the flaws a lens can have, heavy breathing is the one i can live with the best. Thank you for this great test. Getting this lens next

These 50mm 1.2 always have very noticeable breathing, my old Canon EF 50mm 1.2L did that too very apparently

It was a good lense but with that stupid amount of focus breathing yep I will call it just fine.

Wont be fair at all.
If you test a bunch of lenses you should test those on same camera body or at least on same sensors with same olpf.
That lens looks awesome enough that I almost jumped on preordering it. What is really needed though is a quality 50 1.8. Cool to shut up some haters, but a great 50 1.8 would sell like hot cakes. Gonna continue to hold out for that myself.
55 1.8?
The 55 1.8 is stellar. Singlehandedly propped up Sony's early barren FE lens lineup.
Had the 55 1.8. Not a bad lens by any means, but it is outdated.
The theoretical limit is f/.075 on the E-mount right? Why are people still thinking the E-mount is incapable?
Because those people are using incapable cameras, and they have to fictionalized a shortcoming of the Sony system to appease their insecurity.
The engineering is harder with a smaller mount, thats all
@@richrollin4867 Lenses can project any image circle the designer specifies.
