I am comparing the Zeiss 50mm f1.4 vs Zeiss 55mm f1.8 at a real-world portrait photoshoot. I share various different side by side photo comparisons at 100% crop, so you can see all the details.

comparison
The Sony 50mm f1.2 GM is a full-frame E-mount lens with an f1.2 maximum aperture. The Zeiss 50mm f1.4 is also a full-frame E-mount lens with an f1.4 maximum aperture. Both lenses are designed for shallow depth of field and low-light performance, but one is significantly more expensive than the other.
During this portrait photoshoot, I am comparing the Sony GM 135mm f1.8 vs Samyang AF 135mm f1.8 vs Sigma 135mm f1.8 Art DG HSM. I am using all 3 lenses on one Sony A7IV camera body to make sure we have identical settings during our tests. Watch my comparison video below to see SOOC, 1:1 views of all the photos. I share comparisons of the image quality, sharpness and bokeh. I also compare the AF performance and autofocus accuracy to see who makes the best 135mm prime for Sony cameras.
The Canon RF 50mm f1.2 and Sony Zeiss 50mm f1.4 are two flagship, high-end 50mm lenses. In this comparison we are going to be putting both lenses head to head in a real world setting. I am using the RF 50mm f1.2 on the Canon ROS R5. And the Zeiss 50mm f1.4 is being used on the Sony A7III.
For today’s photoshoot I thought it would be fun to compare 2 extreme apertures while capturing natural light portraits. I picked a few different locations that I thought would suit both apertures and shot pictures of Claudia and f1.2 and also f16.
During this portrait photoshoot, we compare crop frame vs full frame to answer some commonly asked questions. Is crop frame enough for portrait photography? If you are thinking of getting a camera, should you settle for crop frame? Or take the plunge and upgrade to full frame? Do you have extra benefits by upgrading to full frame?
