So here we are again... Sony announce another set of lenses. This time - small and compact G lenses (perfect for A7C camera) - 24mm f/2.8 G, 40mm f/2.5 G and 50mm f/2.5 G. I tried them out and compared to my compact primes 24mm f/1.4 GM, 35mm f/1.8 and 55mm f/1.8.

    Thanks Magic for this review. I can't quite muster the enthusiasm for these lenses mainly because I found that the 55and 35 Sony/Zeiss work perfectly well with my a7c. I picked up the new kit lens with it and am very impressed with that as well. I also have the small 28 f2 Sony prime and even the 85 f1.8 does not feel like a burden on this camera. It has proven to be a great addition and I find myself carrying it around where I would maybe leave the bulkier A7iii at home.

I definitely subscribe because i like what you're doing here. For the future i would like to see a short test on autofocus performance especially in video. Yeah these aren't really created for that purpose but i just need a verification that these lenses perform in a way i would expect from Sony G Lenses.

    Thanks Alex! And I have to disagree with @pomHUB - 24 it’s a total different beast than 35. The compression and geometry of those focal lengths is vastly different and you’ll achieve very different effects even when trying to frame same way. I’ll have some video showing the same frame with different lenses, but either way I’d say not 24 and 35 can be useful, depending what you shoot.

    I owned the Samyang 35, 45 and 75 f/1.8 as well as the 35, 50 and 85 f/1.4 lenses, including 3 copies of the 85 and two of the 50. The rendering is really nice and the bokeh has a nice quality to it but they all have awful AF for portraits and the 1.8 lens are cheap plastic and feel like toys. So many out of focus shots on these lenses. Good luck getting sharp copies that focus properly on any of the Samyang/Rokinon lenses.

    @@michaelbell75 I have no problems with autofocus from my Samyang lenses from the Tiny series, and yes the lenses from the Tiny series are of plastic, but the quality of the plastic is not so bad and they are also screwed together well, but it is also a matter of taste. However, I would say that you are definitely right that they certainly do not feel as robust as Sony's lenses, but they are also meant to be small and light with good image quality and not so expensive, and that really appeals to me a lot. However, I have had bad experiences with autofocus with Samyang's 35mm.f.1.4 and 85mm.f.1.4, so I have sold them both .....

    These lenses are for people who want 90% of a GM lens but want it in a much smaller, lighter and cheaper package. Sorry, but this 50 f/2.5 blows the 55 1.8 away in a few important areas you didnt even mention. Superior build quality with weather sealing, has 10 sealing gaskets running thru it. It also has dual linear motors that focus faster and more accurately than the 55 1.8 and its also sharper. Believe it or not, there are many of us who prefer build quality, faster and more accurate AF and sharpness over how blurry a background is and how big bokeh balls are.
