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

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?

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.

@Kyle Wolfe likely many improvements = smaller,lighter,higherImageQuality, I hope for 67mm filter thread 🙏

@@mirrorlessny agreed, smaller and lighter to match is brethren. Possibly better/smoother focus for video, that was really my only minus on the lens but I never intended to use it for video. It's size and wieght never bothered me. Talking about the Sony Zeiss 50 1.4 lens.

Fun lens to watch reviews for, but way outside my humble budget.

Great video and review. I have the Sony 135mm f1.8 Gm (amazing lens btw), and it also focuses much closer in manual than AF. Must be a Sony thing.
