Opinion:I've been missing a 50mm focal point for a while, which I really appreciate. I thought I was going crazy and going to the new GM but in the end I was "content" with a used Sony Zeiss and I have to say I can only be satisfied with the choice. Right from the start an excellent feeling has started, fast and precise on both a7iii and a7riii, I like the yield very much, I find it decidedly cinematic, an excellent sharpness and an equally remarkable detachment of the floors. In my galleries you will find some photos taken with this lens among the last uploaded
Pros:Impressive image quality, declicable aperture for video.
Cons:Clutter, weight, cost, non-state af
Opinion:Speaking of image quality, there are no great doubts, it is a real zeiss. A blade already at TA, excellent microcontract and non-existent aberrations. It has the famous "3D pop" typical of the planar scheme. He also manages to have a pleasant bokeh while being so surgical in the areas of focus. Go see some reviews around the web, it's probably one of the 3-4 best performing lenses ever on e-mount. The optics is a tile like weights and clutter, but it is made for those looking for quality and less practicality. Not a street lens to understand. The autofocus while being very precise, is not as responsive as on recent gm optics, and is also a bit noisy. Having said that, I have never missed a shot because of the Af. For me the best 50mm on e-mount, rivaled only by the voigtlander which however is manual. I'd only sell it for a possible brand change
Pros:Sharpness, brightness, contrast, plane detachment, blurred, no chromatic aberration, no distortion, build quality, aperture ring
Cons:Footprint, weight and price
Opinion:As written, by those who preceded me, it is about optics that, from a point of view of image quality has virtually no flaws, substantially excellent in everything. -Sharpness (resounding from the whole opening forward, in some situations even too much)-three-dimensionality typical of Zeiss lenses-colors (although talk about colors.. In the digital does kinda smile though tantè)-blurry very very soft and pleasant-AF Silent and quick (tried on A73) in short, from a point of view of the IQ I have not found flaws. (I put it together with the 135 ZA F 1.8, in the top 5 lenses for reflex/mirrorless). When compared to 55 (I had) and at Batis 40 (I have at the moment), as QI, do not run away this lens beats them, not by much, but has that something more. Sore and against notes, with almost 800 grams of lens and a pass me the term "volumetry" of the barrel definitely important, forget to use this lens as the classic 50ino to be brought around all day to be around to make street, in the sense, you can Do but that's not his ground. As 50 I see it very well in the studio, or in all those situations where you need extreme quality, extreme brightness etc etc. almost more a portrait optics. To conclude the very high price, but as they say in these cases, the quality is paid:)
Opinion:Ordered for two months and finally arrived, I immediately mounted on the A7R3 and I did some homemade shots without any sense except to perceive the sensations that the optics gave me. Of course it is a questionable method to give an opinion on a goal, but I have to say that, for many years to this side and dozens of proven goals of any brand (Nikon, Canon, Leica, Fuji, Sony, Zeiss) The initial sensations have never been denied More in-depth evidence in the field. Well, the sensations are great. It is true that the dimensions are conspicuous, but the way in which the complex machine/optics falls in hand convinced me a lot, I find it quite balanced already with the machine smooth, perfect with machine and battery PAC. The autofocus is quick and accurate, enjoyable and effective in the eye-AF function, the fantastic manual focus for regularity of the ring's sliding and support of the magnification, the bokeh I really like and consider that I'm used to that of the Leica Preaspherical. The optical quality is remarkable, great sharpness and corrections to the limits of perfection, except perhaps a bit of vignetting, moreover easily correctable in post. What about, I have the impression that this 50 will be stationed on the machine for a long time and will give me many satisfactions. I will update and complete these considerations after the first session of portrait already programmed for the next we. After yesterday's shooting I can confirm the excellent impressions that in the field have induced in me a sincere enthusiasm for this goal. Mounted on the A7R3 is a fantastic tool for obtaining excellent portraits. If this doesn't happen, all the blame is from the photographer. Princely blurred and airiness that reminds me (even) my Leica M preaspheric. I mean, more than satisfied.
Pros:Lens to be defined standard, with perfect optical quality and very precise AF
Cons:Senseless price if you think it's a 50 1.4, exaggerated and sometimes limiting dimensions, Plasticaccia lens hood
Opinion:Here we are, after having sold it I can give an objective opinion, without risking that the only review would end up in the hands of possible buyers and make them desist. It's a lens that when you take it from the outside it looks like a work of art. It is solid, all metal (the lens hood is Plasticaccia), to the touch very massive, and anyway it has the air of being able to split the nuts. It seems to be holding a 105mm, and already here the problems begin. The lens is too coarse, too heavy, too massive. Compared with a lens for Nikon or Canon (even the 50 1.2) comes out sadly defeat. It is so large that it exceeds the base of the machine and on some tripod plates it cannot be mounted (my manfrotto for example). Okay quality, but is it really necessary to make a brick by almost 1kg? I think not. The 50mm is a focal from street, quiet to lug around, and with this lens you will not do what a 50mm is born. About the optical quality is perfect, it has almost zero AC, amazing sharpness, perfect AF. On the other hand for almost €1500 if it had not been it would have been funny. Unfortunately the bokeh is not so exciting. Compared to the 50mm Samyang comes out sadly defeated, and this is staggering since it costs 4 \ \ 5 times more. Of course it has a chromatic fidelity that the Samyang dreams (this tends to the yellow), with colors really perfect without any need to post produce. Yes it has some more features like the declickable bezel, but frankly it never came in handy. I find this lens perhaps the best for video makers needing a 50mm to use in video. Absolutely not recommended to photographers given the price and image quality in terms "artistic" lower than the Samyang 50 1.4 FE.
