Sony 50mm f1.2 vs Nikon 50mm f1.2 | The Best 50mm lenses on the market 

The review isn’t from a professional standpoint, as much of what he said makes no sense. But what I can tell is that the Nikon comes out on top in IQ but loses out in size/weight.

Great work frames, awesome vid, and love all the images at the end 😀

I also compared the Nikon 50mm f1.2 and the Sony 50mm f1.2 GM on the Z8 and Sony A7rV. In my opinion the Nikon lens is much too large and heavy for what it does. Also af is way slower than the one of the Sony GM lens. Optically I think the differences are not really significant. Since I shoot both Sony and Nikon I'll use the Sony GM lens until Nikon releases a second, improved version of the 50mm f1.2 S lens. BTW the Sony GM lens can be used on a Nikon Z camera as well using the Megadap ETZ21 adapter.

Did you use eye af with the Nikon? And if so was it more reliable with the 50 1.2?

The on 1.2 are both really close, it’s like timing, moment, light. The only thing for the 50mm Nikon Z, is big, bulky, and a necessary display one the lens, keeps the cost also higher and vulnerable.

Good job! You have a special gift for turning a technical explanation into something like story telling, which makes it easy and interesting to watch. Not that the viewer is biting his nails, waiting to learn who killed who, but is taken on a marvellous journey through a photographic experience. 👍😁

Great video. My advice to you, you need to work on white balance because you get it wrong all the time.

I have the Nikkor and I've owned the GM in the past when I was shooting with Sony. I'm honestly a bit disappointed with the Nikon lens. The Sony was sharper, much lighter, much smaller, and my copy handled chromatic aberration much better than my Nikkor does. The Sony did breathe significantly more, but in exchange for a slight crop, focus breathing compensation handles the effect far better than Nikon's purely optical mitigation... So kind of a wash there IMO.

I wonder if most buyers of the Nikon 50mm f1.2 Z lens use it on a tripod for video shoots or for studio portraiture and then the weight of the lens is no longer a factor. For general walking around photography, the Nikon 50mm f1.8 Z lens might be a better choice. Use case makes all the difference.

This is really objective and no fanboy-ism

Technically Nikon is better but it gets harder to choose when you consider weight and size advantage of Sony. Although Im' not going to get any of these lenses. I don't know whether you have used Nikon 180mm f2.8 ED or not but I want you to have a look on that lens and if possible make a review. You will be surprised by that lens.

Despite its technical and image prowess, the Nikon is just too big and unwieldy for me. I prefer the Sony 50 1.2. I currently have the 50 1.8S for my Z6II & Z7, and I love it.

awesome video thanks bro ❤❤❤

man this is really detailed and not just a talking head

Great review!

Yeah, here the Sony is also significantly cheaper than the Nikon (around $230). Thanks for sharing your thoughts on both. To me, the Sony is a more attractive option because I can use it on my Nikon and Sony bodies.

GJ Frames , nice shots 👍

At the end of the day if you have a Nikon camera you would buy a Nikon lens and if you have a Sony camera you would buy the Sony lens, if you have both cameras then you have a dilemma or buy both.

Sony cheaper, smaller, lighter and to me seems slightly sharper (your CA shots at 300%, Nikon's CA is masked by spherical aberration I think where as Sony has less spherical but a bit more color fringe). Nikon has a bit more character and less vignetting which should be given the size.

You Indian talk like 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
