  • In this video, I test the Sony FE 50mm 1.8 Video Autofocus Performance to see if this budget 50mm lens is any good for video projects or not. I should mention that I've updated my Sony FE 50mm F/1.8 lens to the latest firmware which is .03 for this lens. The Camera which I used for this test was the Sony A7III which again is on the newest firmware 4.0.

    as a general unwritten rule, all 50mm f1.8 are awesome. have fast AF and moderately sharp and Sony FE 50mm 1.8 fits in the reputation too. awesome content man. I hope one day old DSLRs like my camera (6D MII) receive an update to support eye tracing....

    • @MehranHadad
      @MehranHadad  3 роки тому +4

      Yeah most nifty fifties have good autofocus but the Sony Fe 50mm had a bad autofocus performance when it was released! but with the latest firmware which sony released for this lens, The Autofocus performance changed drastically and became very good! Thanks so much for watching dude! Yeah I hope that too! Good luck

    Have this lens as well, it's great, but a bit noisy (mechanical focus noise) and a little slow at times, but for the price?! It's an absolute steal for how sharp the photos turn up!

    • @MehranHadad
      @MehranHadad  3 роки тому

    • @MehranHadad
      @MehranHadad  4 місяці тому +1

      My pleasure! Yes the Motor noise is present , but if your microphones are far from the camera you won't hear it.

  • @slashedbeauty
    @slashedbeauty 7 місяців тому

    I know this video is old but it’s hard to hear the audio test because of how loud your environment is. I’m finding that besides the loud shift when focus changes dramatically, it also sort of has a constant soft clicking if I’m doing just a talking head video, as if it’s making micro adjustments but still pretty noticeable on the footage within a quiet room. have you experienced this?

    @vannitagliavento 9 місяців тому

    Thanks so much! really well done.. Is it normal that on my A7sii it doesn't lock the focus like yours? it ALWAYS goes back and forth to find it. I'm in af-c and the slight movement makes it "breathe", can phase detection AF make this big difference? would I benefit e.g. a sony 24-70 g master or it is better to switch the body like to a A7III and keep the 50mm for now?

    • @slashedbeauty

    • @vannitagliavento

    @algeriao2 2 роки тому +1

    Bro , i test it with a6000, but if you shoot a video with af-s or af-c , you hear always "annoying noise", it disappears only when you press a button to focus manually, or when using MF, is that normal with this lens?

    • @MehranHadad

    • @MehranHadad
      @MehranHadad  3 роки тому +1

      we don't know the exact release date for the Sony A7 IV yet ! If you are not in a hurry, you can wait for the new Sony A7 IV , but If you want a camera now, Sony A7 III is still one the best cameras in the market in that price and you will get a lot of good features! A lot of Professional Photographers and Filmmakers are still using the Sony A7III for their projects and the results are awesome! As you said that you are a musician , I think that It would completely fulfill your needs! but again if you aren't in a hurry ,You can wait more! Thanks for your comment.

    • @florianbarras
