I’m new to your channel and I thoroughly enjoy the quality and good review. Love the image examples and the details put into this. I kinda do wish to have the images sometimes longer shown instead of a few second. Anyways, you got yourself a new subscriber! I hope your channel grows well!
Thanks Magic for this review. I can't quite muster the enthusiasm for these lenses mainly because I found that the 55and 35 Sony/Zeiss work perfectly well with my a7c. I picked up the new kit lens with it and am very impressed with that as well. I also have the small 28 f2 Sony prime and even the 85 f1.8 does not feel like a burden on this camera. It has proven to be a great addition and I find myself carrying it around where I would maybe leave the bulkier A7iii at home.
Gratki!!! Życzę kolejnych tysięcy :) Ja już się zakochałem w tej malutkiej 24 :) Chociaż czekam na wersję 1.8 ;)
Jadziem wpuch!

Congrats on hitting 1k! I've really enjoyed the way you present content and explain things. Will you be sticking to just reviews or is that just because there has been so much to review lately? I'd love to see how you edit - your final images are lovely. Also, thoughts on photographing/filming kids would be wonderful (camera settings for unpredictable movement, practical focal length choice indoors vs. outdoors, dad/photographer tricks!).
Thanks Dude! Yup, the reviews are just because Sony gone mad releasing all the stuff!! But I have tons of other stuff planned on a weekly basis, so thanks for sticking around and suggestions!!
Love the review. Planning on upgrading from a6400 to a7c using my Sony Zeiss 35mm 2.8. Probably will get the new 50mm and 24mm for the a7c. Agree with you that 40mm not necessary when I already own a smaller 35mm fe lens. Thanks for the video. I just subscribed to your channel.
great breakdown between the 24 g and gm.
I picked up the 24 and 50 for when I want to have a more discreet camera/lens combo. I think these compliment my larger lenses, they don't replace them. I hope Sony adds a short tele to this family. It would immediately be my travel kit.
Hey mate i just discovered your channel and you were among the first reviewers i saw covering them especially that good. I like your approach to provide comparisons. I definitely subscribe because i like what you're doing here. For the future i would like to see a short test on autofocus performance especially in video. Yeah these aren't really created for that purpose but i just need a verification that these lenses perform in a way i would expect from Sony G Lenses.
Dude thanks so much! Glad you liked it! Yeah, for these lenses I kept my review much simpler as I just didn’t have enough time, but I try do to those af speed tested for my GM reviews. Thanks for the suggestions 🕺🏻🔥
SPOT-ON!!! Well done Magic! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@MagicWeddingPhotographer what abt *Sony 50mm FE 1.8 vs Sony 50mm 2.5 G, which one would advice to a beginner. I'm looking for a lens so I can start make some money with portrait shoot, and save up some money to start the career I want in Photography.
Great video. I am expecting my first child in October. I just ordered an AC7 and 50mm f2.8g lens from Sony. Hoping to use it for family videos and photos - your video helped me decide to make that purchase. Thank you
I have the Sony a6600 and will purchase the 24 and 50. Perfect for my travels!
What is your camera bag? It looks stylish and functional. A hard combo to find!
hej
czy możesz dać znać co myślisz na temat 24 2.8 vs 1.4 na śluby ? co według ciebie za i przeciw. Chciałbym zamienić na ten mały ale boje się ze na śluby może nie jest zbyt szybki
Thank you very much for these informations!
Glad you found this helpful!
😊👍😊
gooood comparison
Congrats on the 1k subs!! Awesome. Think I’ll stick with my 24 GM. 35 GM on the way as well. Very excited
What’s the point in having both of them? When are you standing in front of smth and instead of stepping half a step you decide: hey, let me reach into my bag, switch lenses and then shoot a pic
@@pomhub283 that’s what I plan on finding out. And selling the one that loses the shootout
@@aligizzle69 or oooor get the 50 and keep both🤷🏻♀️
@@pomhub283 now that’s an idea!! Shiiiiny
Thanks Alex!
And I have to disagree with @pomHUB - 24 it’s a total different beast than 35. The compression and geometry of those focal lengths is vastly different and you’ll achieve very different effects even when trying to frame same way. I’ll have some video showing the same frame with different lenses, but either way I’d say not 24 and 35 can be useful, depending what you shoot.
Which cake would you reccomend for street photography / life / pets
So, two years on do you still think these would have a place in your kit if you had to start again?
Do a video af test, that is necessary for all new lense reviews. I hope you will do in future videos.
hows the autofocus on these g lenses
As an A7C owner, I like the overall design philosophy of more compact primes with aperture rings (especially because the A7C is missing the front dial). As you said, I'm interested to see Sony carve out the consumer/hobbyist market! Congrats on 1k!!!
A7C is lovely, congrats! And thanks so much!
Looks like they will make a great package with the fx3. Imagine having an emergency cinematographer kit you can take anywhere. Imagine that!
That is pretty sweet vision indeed!
Just got a A7C and can't decide as a travel kit between Sony 55mm f1.8 and Sony 50mm f2.5 G is sharpness / image quality very close? a big plus of Sony 50mm f2.5 G is shorter minimum focusing distance
I think 55 would be a better choice...
Just yesterday i thought how good it would be to have more pankaces for sony! I have 35 2.8 and would be happy to have 24 2.8 when it hits ebay
Haha what a timing then!
I love your video! New subscriber here 👋
Welcome!! Thanks so much 🕺🏻
(Samyang 45mm should be reminded for its "very nice" rendering, less costly, etc.
The MF Voightlander f/1.2 ..is manual, also interesting rendering.)
Fantastic comparison on the new 50 F2.5 vs 55 F1.8, I know what to choose now thanks!
Thanks so much! Glad I could help!
What lens did you bought finally! I just can’t decide! Please help!
Thanks Mr Magic! Was hoping for a 24 1.8 🤓 I’ll stick with my 28 2.0 for now best compromise I’ve found natively 🥃
Yeah, 24/1.8 would be sweet! Or 28/1.4 😍
@@MagicWeddingPhotographer oooo yeah 28 1.4 is the dream... I hope you know something I don’t 😜
I wish!
how are these for video
Question....would you swap both the 35mm f1.8 & 55mm f1.8 for only the 40mm f2.5?
Nope. I prefer 35 1.8 look then 40/2.5
I just stick to my Samyang lenses from their Tiny series 18mm.f.2.8 and 35mm.f.1.8 and 45mm.f.1.8 plus 75mm.f.1.8, although Sony lenses are also small and light, I still prefer that aperture and the wide-angle lens Samyang offers!
I owned the Samyang 35, 45 and 75 f/1.8 as well as the 35, 50 and 85 f/1.4 lenses, including 3 copies of the 85 and two of the 50. The rendering is really nice and the bokeh has a nice quality to it but they all have awful AF for portraits and the 1.8 lens are cheap plastic and feel like toys. So many out of focus shots on these lenses. Good luck getting sharp copies that focus properly on any of the Samyang/Rokinon lenses.
@@michaelbell75 I have no problems with autofocus from my Samyang lenses from the Tiny series, and yes the lenses from the Tiny series are of plastic, but the quality of the plastic is not so bad and they are also screwed together well, but it is also a matter of taste. However, I would say that you are definitely right that they certainly do not feel as robust as Sony's lenses, but they are also meant to be small and light with good image quality and not so expensive, and that really appeals to me a lot. However, I have had bad experiences with autofocus with Samyang's 35mm.f.1.4 and 85mm.f.1.4, so I have sold them both .....
How does the image quality of these 3 prime lens compare to the 16-35gm zoom?
Hey David, unfortunately I have zero experience with 16-35G and GM zoom lenses, so don't have the answer for you :/
As an A7C Owner, while the size of these pancakes are great, I would much prefer them making them f2
What camera and lens was this review filmed with? Where are you talking.
A7RIII and 24GM
@@MagicWeddingPhotographer great picture. opinion of a photographer with 50 years of experience.
Comper Sony a7c With a 24,2.8G vs Lica q3 :-)
it is surprising that 35mm at 1.8 has same bokeh ball size with 40mm at 2,5. it is around 1 stop difference.
Which was your favorite
24mm
Click as soon as I see your post!
🕺🏻💃🏼🕺🏻💃🏼🔥🔥🔥
These lenses are for people who want 90% of a GM lens but want it in a much smaller, lighter and cheaper package. Sorry, but this 50 f/2.5 blows the 55 1.8 away in a few important areas you didnt even mention. Superior build quality with weather sealing, has 10 sealing gaskets running thru it. It also has dual linear motors that focus faster and more accurately than the 55 1.8 and its also sharper. Believe it or not, there are many of us who prefer build quality, faster and more accurate AF and sharpness over how blurry a background is and how big bokeh balls are.
I'm trying to decide now which one to buy, the 55mm 1.8 ZA or the 50mm 2.5G. There are so many great reviews about the 55mm that I'm having a hard time. I have A7C starting to have some clients... would you recommend to go for the 50mm 2.5G? I shoot street, portraits and travel mainly.
@@matiasroman2081 Buy a good used 55 f1.8 for your A7C. I think you will be most happy with that as you will have better low light capabilities. I find that my most favorite photos are invariably shot using the 55 f1.8 - it has a quality that just jumps out at me. I find it and the 35 f1.8 both feel right at home on the A7C.
