FAQ: The 35mm f/1.8 has a closer focusing distance than the 35mm f/1.4, so why did my test show the 35mm f/1.4 filled the frame with the camera more? It's the difference between maximum magnification and close focusing distance. The 35 f/1.4 has a min focus distance of 9.8", while the 35 f/1.8 is 8.7". So, yes, the f/1.8 can focus at a shorter distance - BUT - the focal length must shrink to 25mm or 30mm or so because of focus breathing (we have a video on this topic). The 35 f/1.4 has a max magnification of 0.26x, whereas the 35 f/1.8 has a max magnification of 0.24x. Thus, the 35mm f/1.4 fills the frame with the subject more, even though it's further away. It probably stays closer to a true 35mm than the f/1.8 lens does. You don't actually care about minimum focusing distance - you care about maximum magnification. Here's a video on the topic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joGYXphqhpVkd8U

It’s good you explain things to make it easier to follow. However, I would like to see more Nikon lens reviews. The Nikon 35 f1.8 and the 35 f1.4 both have the same 0.16x maximum magnification. However, with Nikon the 35 f1.4 still seems to fill the frame with the subject better than the 35 f1.8. Nikon pretty much puts the magnification theory on the back burner again. Yes, the Nikon 35 f1.8 gets in closer than the 35 f1.4, so I don’t know what’s going on. Maybe because the 1.4 lens is bigger or it’s more about the apertures? That is really puzzling.

I am a professional wedding photographer and IMHO the Sony 1.8 series is a lot better option for most people. In the real world you will never see a difference (and most importantly: you clients certainly wont) but they are lighter, smaller and a lot cheaper for almost the same performace. Yes they are not weather sealed but in all those years I have never shot in conditions a normal lens could not handle. And yes they can not gather as much light, but this is also not a problem with modern cameras and high ISO values. Great work from Sony with the 35 1.4 GM though

I jumped Nikon's ship over the summer to the Sony a7r4. Shortly there after Canon came out with the R5 and I started to get buyers remorse but realizing that with my budget I could have never gotten the body, a 24-70 2.8, and 70-180 2.8 in if I waited for canon. Having really good 3rd party lenses available is the game changer for me since I'm not a money making professional.

Why use the high res mode for the sharpness test? Since the camera is not actually taking one 240MP image the lens wouldn't have to resolve that much detail, right? Would the sharpness difference really be different than in just the 60MP images? Or does combining them amplify the sharpness differences? Also your model's expression makes me think I just asked her to give me a ride to the airport 🙃

The stacking amplifies the demands on resolving power on the lens, if it can't resolve pixel level differences really well then you end up with a worse HR stack (think garbage in garbage out)... It seems counter intuitive at first, just need to think about it for a min.

1) There's a difference between focusing close and magnification. Magnification is how big the subject appears in the frame, and that's all anyone really cares about. Many lenses suffer from focus breathing, where the focal length actually shrinks as you get closer to a subject, so a 35mm lens might only be 30 or 28mm at its minimum focusing distance. 2) Did they use manual focus? As I mentioned, it doesn't focus as close with AF. 2) You saw the results of my test, as well as my methodology, soo...

I owned the Sony/Zeiss 35mm f/1.4 several years ago, and while it did give a sort of "art" look to many images, one of the special looks in the way that Leica M lenses (other than the new APO series) can give. With a 42 megapixel sensor at the time (A7R III) is was for practical purposes pretty sharp in the center wide open, and very good stopped down to landscape type apertures. I didn't really care for it, as the poor contrast got in the way for me. This new lens looks like an incredible value for its price. Hopefully you'll shoot some actual photographs in a range of situations in a follow up review.

I think that the only reason to pay more for the Zeiss version would be the name. I’m not saying that it’s a good reason, but vaunted names have value. It’s the same reason that Leica has overcharged for years on slightly modified Panasonic and Minolta products. Also the Zeiss name could help at resale.

Ok I know this isn’t a lab test and it’s a bit of fun but was your bokeh test a little unfair on the Zeiss? You seemed to move your head very close to the lens making the bokeh balls significantly bigger with the Zeiss. The onion ring texture was evident albeit less in the GM, but because you kept the Zeiss and the1.8 bokeh smaller it was less noticeable when you zoomed in.

wide angle lenses very very very often have problems in the corners, in chromatic and in speed that lens not having that is a very good result there are 85 mm lenses that have such results but to find 35 or lower focal lenghts are rare even in 2021 i wonder if they could make a 20 mm focal length lens also without that problems (dream)

Taiwan filled preorders on the Sony 35mm f/1.4 GM at the beginning of Feb. I've had mine for 2 weeks and love it. If you go budget and buy the f/1.8 lens, never pick up the GM lens and use it. You'll hate yourself for not spending the extra bit of cash to buy it. Is it worth twice as much as the Sony 35mm f/1.8? Most definitely! As for the Zeiss 35mm lens, forget about it.

i think considering the price for each, they all fit their range quite well. f1.8 is phenomenal and cheap. f1.4 zeiss increases the price incrementally for the extra aperture for a slight compromise on the IQ (seen videos in the past where it gives comparable results at f1.8), and the f1.4 gm gives no compromise at a price best suited for pros.

I dont understand why they keep the Zeiss lenses at their original prices, rarely ever dropping prices. "People loves Bokeh," photographers loves bokeh, clients hardly ever notice! Thanks T&C, your opinions are a service to the photo community!

Seen a lot of great reviews of this new lens! I am keen for a 35 and excited for the RF 35 1.2 DS that should be releasing this year... not as much light but pairs so nicely with the 28-70 and 85 DS

Sony 35mm Distagon is a great lens but its expensive , big and heavy....35mm 1.8 is ideal modest choice ....24mm 1.4gm great lens but too wide ....I ordered the 35mm 1.4gm and i am curious about it. Great Review thank you very much.

Wow! That was a great review. You covered the really important issues, not just sharpness. As an old guy, I am often blown away by even ordinary modern lenses. I have never had a GM lens from Sony that made me unhappy. It's so sad to see Zeiss falling so far behind. Do you know what's going on with the company? Have they been reducing R&D to cut losses? Are they getting out of the consumer camera business?

They seem about right. I have only tested it as a video camera but I found the low-light performance was worse than a Canon R6. We never found the predecessors to be particularly good in low light; high megapixel cameras always outperformed them. See sdp.io/density
