zeiss 50mm f1.4
For this portrait session, I am using the Zeiss 50mm f1.4 on the Sony A7 IV, capturing backlit images on the beach during golden hour. The combination of the lens’s wide aperture and the warm, soft light of the setting sun helped create intimate, glowing portraits with beautiful light falloff and natural skin tones.
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.
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.
If you can only afford one prime lens, make sure this is the one you get! The 50mm focal length is a versatile prime for portrait photography, making it a great solo lens in your camera bag. I share 5 easy composition tips for portrait photography when using a 50mm lens.
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.
The Sony A7R4 is a 61MP, full frame mirrorless camera. I am using the Zeiss 50mm f1.4 lens for this portrait photoshoot. It’s been a long time since I’ve done a portrait photoshoot on a 50mm lens.
