Great review as usual Jason, but especially at everyone's favorite store B&H Photo and video, in the US the 50mm 1.2gm is $1998.00 and the 50mm 1.4gm will be $1298.00, so this price isn't even close at a price difference of $700. The Sony 35mm f1.4gm is actually $100 more so if you really, really, really don't need 1.2, I say stay with the 1.4, which is where I have my focus on. I do have the Sigma 35mm F1.2 and shooting at 1.2 for photography on that lens is spectacular because it is sharp wide open. Sony is actually killing the game when it comes to lenses and one of my absolute favorites in my kit is the 135mm f1.8gm, it really is my favorite lens.

The better question is: Why buy the 50mm F1.2 GM? In all the blind comparisons I've seen done between the two professional photographers cannot tell the difference between 1.4 and 1.2 That means you're largely paying another 600-700 dollars far additional mass and volume to the lens. The F1.4 gets you 95% of the F1.2's performance for much less. In this case, get the smaller, lighter, cheaper lens. Hell, I'd recommend the Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG DN as well, it's just bulkier and heavier than the Sony counterpart.

This lens has convinced me to sell my 24-70 GM ii and get this and a 24mm 1.4 GM. With apsc mode I can get 36mm and 75mm which is good enough for me, but the increased sharpness and contrast and bokeh of the GM primes is something the latest Sony GM zooms can’t keep up with. I have the 14mm GM and had the 35 GM, and it’s just a better looking image.

I'm on the opposite side of the spectrum: If I had a 24-70 GM II I would let go of my 24mm GM. Don't get me wrong, great lens but the convinience of having just one lens personally far outweighs the tiny loss in sharpness. The 24-70 GM II is very sharp for my needs and to be honest all modern lenses are very sharp. So sharp that sometimes it makes tweaking portraits a pain (I'm looking at you Sony 90mm F2.8 macro!) Are you more into video or photography?

@@lucasliaskos it is a sharp lens, but the direction I’m going I want more bokeh, and low light ability. I’m going to be making a lot more video content locked off on a tripod around New York City, getting footage to sell as stock footage where the competition is stiff and the 24-70’s 2.8 isn’t quite enough, and a lot less of the event coverage that I’ve been doing with zoom lenses. This light weight 50 GM makes it all possible, I hate carrying heavy lenses, and if given a choice for nearly the same price, I’d choose the 24-70 over the 50mm 1.2, but this new lens opens up a lightweight kit of uniform GM primes that I can see myself bringing everywhere and not regretting it.

Prices are not higher in Europe... In Europe it's illegal to display prices without tax. So what you see there is the final price to pay, while in the US you have to add tax to that. It ends up being similar, depending on tax rates of different countries.

@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Yes, because they don't count the differences in taxes in different countries. But because they pay 5% more on their lens, they never have to worry about paying medical bills in their life for example. Or they don't even notice they're comparing a price with taxes included to a price with no taxes. So a simple statement "it's cheaper there" is not relevant. But anyways, great videos :)

Thanks, Jason, good review. Yes it's a dilemma which to pick (albeit a nice one). I'm strongly leaning to the f1.4 GM. I'm lucky that I can afford either, but feel more compact form is a better trade off and likely means it will get used more often. I also own the sister GM primes 24mm f1.4 and 35mm f1.4 so similar size and filter threads is also a good reason to pick the 1.4 variant.

The 67mm filter is definitely a PRO to the 1.4 I haven't heard other people mention. I do not have time to buy another Nisi Vari ND for a weird 72mm thread so I just have a 82mm and 67mm. The linear manual focusing is attractive. Size is a big factor for me so I'm not in a rush to upgrade from my Zeiss 55mm 1.8. That extra 5mm produces pretty similar bokeh to 1.2 as shown on YT so A Cam interviews and the size is like a no brainer when traveling. 1.2 = $1999 / 1.4 = $1298 / 1.8 = $550 used.

This is the lens I've been waiting for. My 50mm has been the Sigma Art f1.4 for a long time now, and although it's a great lens I'm ready to upgrade. I've been very close to pulling the trigger on the GM f1.2 so many times, but the cost always made me hesitate. I just can't justify the cost when the Sigma is honestly giving me everything I need. The new GM f1.4 is perfect, in both price and size. I already have the 24mm and 35mm GM lenses, and this new 50mm looks like it fits perfectly alongside those. So while it is somewhat redundant, I'm already head over heels for this lens.

It's all done by bots, you cannot talk to a human, argue or make a case or prove that you licensed said music, there is no process or phone number you can call. On KZitem, any individual can claim they own the copyright to any music as far as KZitem is concerned, they demonitize it and take their cut. There are a lot of scammers out there that have made YT Copyright Claims their business models, just like patent trolls. I'm not sure how KZitem arbitrates between these scammers and ASCAP? Just like Tik Tok, there is a reason you hear the same type cues over and over again on KZitem, unless you are a musician and own the copyright to your own music tracks, it can be insanely hard to find good music that isn't massively overexposed. KZitem doesn't give a crap about actual musicians, artists and filmmakers, they don't care if you licensed music used in your video or not, they only care about demonitizing, sending the money to Copyright Scammers/ASCAP and getting their cut.
