Great video, thanks!! I want to get this lens for doing pet photos and food photography. Hopefully the f2.5 will be good. I have the 85mm 1.8 but need to get closer to my subjects. When I had a Canon DSLR, my favorite photos were taken with their nifty fifty, so I am a big fan of nifty fifty lenses
@@mattiafalappi5516 this is exactly the question ive been looking for answers. First, i will be using it heavily towards video, and i think the lack of declicked aperture ring on the 55mm wont be bothering too much due to the use of vnd filter, but on the other hand im wondering would that extra 5mm make much difference? Then for these two lenses being a lightweight lenses, when in handheld situations which would be better in terms of less jittery shot. It’d be much appreciated if anyone could help in answering this.
I was lucky enough to find a good used copy with a good discount at my local camera store so I went ahead and ordered it earlier today. I think it will be an excellent addition for my A7C for an everyday walk around lens. Your enthusiastic endorsement of it has made me excited to receive it and try it out. Thanks Pav!
I bought the FE2.8 / 24G and pair it with my a6700 and I am truly impressed with the quality of this lens. It’s sharp and the colour rendering is beautiful! I used it to shoot wedding photo and video and it’s perfect in indoor lowlights situations. I plan to get the FE2.5 / 50G after this. Thanks for your informations.
A fabulous lens which will be my workhorse for commercial work on my A7iii. Got a 49mm Urth polariser too. Makes for a light weight kit which is very versatile.
Yup, this lens is razor sharp. This is now my favourite lens due to its sharpness, weight, size, build quality and an acceptable aperture (for me). It's a really fun (but with seriously good results), amazing little lens!
I'm kind of over 50mm AF after being a fan for the longest time and I'm enjoying 35 and 75mm at the moment. Vintage 50mm is a different story. I must have a least 10 around that focal range and they all have different look. Your review made me consider this lens though. Thanks!
I got the 24mm version of this lens and was amazed to see it’s the same size as the small, newly released Nikon 24mm APSC lens (which I’ve also just bought ). Amazing the latest full frame lenses are now matching APSC in size. Shame it’s more than twice the price but it’s quality. The 24mm I find is the do all lens.
Smaller is definitely a step in the right direction. For fifties, I have an AF Minolta f1.7, an Industar 50-2, a couple of CZJ Tessars, the Takumar 1.4, and two Macro Takumars, 1:1 and 1:2. I'm also waiting on another Tessar removed from a Zeiss Ikon Contessa LK and adapted to m42, and a Kiev 3 with the Jupiter 8 Sonnar 50mm f2. In addition, I have copies of the three Takumar 55's, the 1.8, 2 and 2.2 and am awaiting a Konica Auto S2 from which I'll adapt the Hexanon 45mm f1.8 lens for use on the Sony a7. As someone who prefers wide angle, I'm starting to warm up to the "standard" focal length. Your review of the new Sony lens was very impressive, better than others I've seen, but it's the 40mm lens in the set that interests me since I'm inclined to regard that focal length as the most useful and pleasing.
@@PavSZ I forgot the Pentacon 50mm f1.8. You think it's a problem? You can't understand the interest in these different lenses that altogether with postage probably cost me less than $1000? A person who spends $1500 or more on a lens might have a problem to my mind. He certainly has too much money. I enjoy your channel, Pav, and am looking forward to your review of the Sony 40mm.
Found one used for 300$ while traveling to Florida. Best spontaneous decision. I love this lens, but its been living on my girlfriend's camera for months now LOL Just got the 50 GM but I suspect the 2.5 will still be my favorite of the two
Yes, I'm sure, next time my wife order a travel again, I'll order this lens, and bring only this lens with me, and just have fun with it. Seems like no travel can be boring with this lens as your companion:-)
I'm really intrigued by this lens and strongly considering but do wish it was at least an f2/0 and $150 cheaper. And yes, I'm a bit of photo snob and like fast glass but also know I never carry that fast glass when traveling. This would get a lot more use. But hard to look away from Sony's GM 50mm f1.2, and yes I know it's a lot more money. But when I have a 24-70 f2.8, hard to buy a prime at f2.5.
@@user-xk1et9df2i I agree 100%! I bought the 24mm and 50mm and have used them both far more than my 24-70 2.8. Hoping Sony brings out a short telephoto lens in this series.
To have an f/2, with a high level of correction and contrast to the corners, requires a larger size and weight. The Nikon Z 50mm 1.8 S is sharp and well corrected and is significantly larger and heavier than no so sharp nifty fifties like the Canon 1.8.
Which would be better for talking head videos on CZcams between the 40mm 2.5 G and the Sony 35mm 1.8? I hear the focus breathing is better on the 1.8, but I am not sure which lens to get between the two for video work exclusively.
it reminds me of the old zeiss vntage 50/2.8 which was called eagle's eye. The earlier aluminium version for exakta etc is tiny - also preset and even on present sensor's very sharp. Later they made one with a metal encasing with a mfd of 35mm - like this present sony (31-35). I think the design - formfactor and optics + AF of the sony is premium. However I already have the samyang 45mm f1.8 & - also very lightweight with a special rendering but without some of the sony features + I also have the sigma 65 & a collection of vintage 50s. However for those wanting a compact 50 - this is a really good option.
I was looking for a small prime lenses that I could adapt to the Nikon ZF, I found that Megadap had an adapter that could use Sony E mount glass with the electronic connection between the lens and camera. I decided to pick the 24mm G lens from this three lens series as I had not used adapters before, when I got the lens and adapter and set up my Nikon ZF, the camera was set to single shot auto focus but the information when the lens and adapter was in place showed manual focus and the lens aperture did not register, I was not happy with the setup and ended up buying a Open box Sony A7II from Adorama camera for 860 with tax and shipping included in the kit was the 28-70 f 3.5-5.6 lens, I was surprised that the camera was even smaller than the Panasonic S5 and S5 MKII and the lens makes this a great compact every day full frame camera that cost me less than a Olympus EM5 MKIII. The camera is a older version with only 1 sd memory card but as a every day and travel camera it's perfect.
Hi Pav, what focal length is this video shot in? I like the visual setup a lot. Your Amazon gear page has two 50mm and a 90mm, so I wasn't sure. Thanks
Thank you for watching! I really need to update my Amazon gear page ... new cameras and lenses in my main kit now. I think that this video was shot on Nikon Z6 and Sigma 50mm f1.4 Art (the talking head) and b-roll with Sony a7sII (or Lumix S5) with 7Artisans 50mm f0.95
I don't know what or why. You are so hypotic. It is a pleasure to listen your speech, there is a strange musicality. The image are colour grated with a nice saturation and your look so fanny. I'm not kidding you. Thanks.
This or the Sony/Zeiss 55mm Sonnar T* 1.8 ?? I can't decide, I need a fast lens for taking pictures inside of family and pets, so AF has to be great but I don't want to compromise on low light/bokeh... Thoughts? Just got a used A7C for 1300USD, this will be my first lens outside of the kit!
@@PavSZ thanks for that. i saw both reviews and whilst the latest firmware update was good, i wanted to compare it to this compact lens because we are losing on aperture size / low light but gaining on portability and clearly sharpness. would be interesting to see a head to head (although price wise massive difference!)
Yes. Although I do like 50mm f1.8 FE a lot and I have proven again that it is very good auto focusing when used right (czcams.com/video/AC3Hdmzm1Rc/video.html)- 50mm f2.5 G is far superior in every way, it's in a different class.
No, the best 50mm may be the Sony 50mm 1.2, but in my eyes the Voigtländer 50mm 2.0 APO Lanthar are the best 50mm Lens, though I never use 50mm Lenses, I only use Lenses shorter or longer than 50mm !
I said 'the best nifty fifty' - 50mm f1.2 is amazing but it's not nifty and Voigtländer is a manual lens. I shoot 90% of my professional work with 50mm lenses

Well, spotted 😉. There are some things I do not like with some lenses but I have spent nearly 20 years of my career shooting food, portrait and real estate with the two cheapest lenses that I could afford at the time and one of them was slightly damaged making one corner of the photos more blurred. There is no bad lenses these days. I really believe that if you can only afford one Chinese £100 lens from Amazon you are going to make it work. You learn its shortcomings and work around them. I can't say that any modern lens is not usable or bad. They are all good and only you, the photographer, a person behind the camera, could be an issue. Thanks for watching my videos
@@PavSZ Ha ok. Well I just bought the 50 f/2.5 and the Sigma 90 isn't out till next Fri. So I'll have time to rent the 90 and compare. Or I may just get both. 50 and 90 are far enough apart in focal length.
