Hey everyone!! First up I want to say a big thank you to Sony Australia for getting this 35mm in my hands early so I can have this video up for you guys. Today we're doing a first look of this GM 35mm f1.4 from Sony, testing out the autofocus, Dan and I do a little photoshoot of each other, we take a look at 100% view unedited sample photos, look for lens flares, test out the bokeh, chromatic aberration and a little comparison with the Zeiss 35mm f1.4 as well!
Let me know what you think of this lens and the photos down in the comments. I'm SO excited to use it again this week at a portrait photoshoot to test it out some more - video coming soon!

Julia, I love following your channel and watching you work and produce beautiful images. Dan is becoming a great model also, way to go Dan.
When I saw an email saying there was a new 35mm lens by Sony, I thought "I'm sure Julia will be interested in this.". Opened KZread and your video was the first one there. ;)

This was an absolute treat. Thank you for this Julia.
Not gonna lie, i'm with you on 35mm!! If i could only have two lenses i'd use the 35mm 80% of the time, it just has a closeup personal touch to it and framing that i love to have in all my photos ❤

Great review and photos as always Julia. I love the lens, but really don't like the quick pulse you get when it acquires focus in AF-S. My 85 1.8 doesn't have this issue....
I just stumbled across your channel recently and I love it! Could you do a video about how to work around portrait distortion on these wider angles? I struggle with anything lower than like 70mm but even at 35mm you seem to be able to avoid long noses!
It became my favorite video, you presented the lens very well, and I think it’s best with the A7C. 😃💛

I will be getting this GM personally though to replace my Zeiss, it just feels more reliable for my client work outside of youtube :) Still love the Zeiss though, but yeah this one is a lot faster and better focus accuracy from my experience so far!
I would love to get a hands on this baby! Thanks for the video.

Crazy awesome Lens, defitnately the price worth. In comparison to other reviews, the GM is a lot better (chromatique abberration, bokeh etc) and smaller, 200 usd less expensiver than the Zeiss. ONly wish I could afford it... I love your Earthy preset, Julia!
Is it just me or does the Zeiss have more clear and varied color rendition in the green-yellow - range? In the comparison shots I feel the GM renders few zones in monotone which the Zeiss renders in variety of different green and yellow hues?
Nice to see Dan in front of the camera! Great video Julia
Today I got my 35mm/1.4 GM and I‘m so happy! Great lens and very nice to use with A74, which enables cancelling focus breathing in videomode! And btw: I like your very natural smile and how you make your videos!

Thanks for such detailed review, i am using Sony FX3, comparing Sony 35 1.4 GM and Sony 35 1.8 for video shooting and film making purpose only. If I don’t mind the focus breathing issue on GM, just considering the video image quality. Does these 2 lenses make any noticeable differences? Someone tell me the video image on FX3 is only 4K 10bit so on video I would hardly notice any differences, but I would like to buy GM if it does perform any better on video image quality. Thanks
Wow 😍

Hey Julia, do you have any videos or photo examples of 35mm at f1.4 vs f2.8? I have a 16-35mm GM considering swapping out for 35mm GM f1.4?
The temptation is real to add this to my bag even though I already have the 24 GM. My only gripe with 24mm in general is closeup warp in portraits and “stretchiness” along the edges (I center most of my portraits, esp at 1.4, to avoid this) but I also find myself using the Super35 mode sometimes to pseudo-emulate a 35mm look and to avoid the edges of the lens to ensure I don’t get that warping. I’m curious if there are any of those concerns with this lens. Also, Julia, could totally how legitimately stoked you were to be using this lens. It made me happy seeing that you were happy!
Great video and test. I might just get this lens to partner with my 55mm 1.8
I really enjoyed this lens
Julia, you made a beautiful model for the focus testing! Great video! That’s my next lens, I have the sigma 35 1.4 and it’s a heavy beast, time for it to go.

I love my Fuji XE3 and love the look of the XF lenses but I miss so many shots when photographing my baby son. The eye-AF of Sony is so fast. I'm envious! :-D
Nice review. I am looking between the 24mm vs 35mm which one do you like more ? Thank you in advance
Hey great video. Can you please test the bokeh with EFCS turned off when shooting at higher shutter speeds, as it has a negative impact to the blur (that's one of the issues with A7c is you can't turn it off). Thanks.
Great review! If you already had the Sony 35mm F1.8, would you still consider upgrading to the 35mm 1.4 GM?
Would you ever use the Sony A7C for pro work like weddings or events?
Girl I would love a video on your setup and that tripod .
I have the SONY FE 35MM F/1.4 ZA ZEISS DISTAGON T* LENS worth upgrading and why ?
Even the birds were hyped for the new lens. I can't wait to get this myself.

Is there a difference between the A7C and A7iii bokeh? Can you still get good bokeh with the A7C and GM 35mm lens?
Great video Julia. Would it be good to switch to Sony from canon? I have the 5d mk iii and the sigma 35mm 1.4 art
Best camera and lens review👍📸
I have a 24-70 2.8 GM atm and looking to get another lens, I'm kinda bouncing between the 55 1.8, 50 1.4, and this 35 1.4 - any thoughts?
Hi Julia, I would like your opinion on something. I recently baught the sony sigma 85mm dg dn (new smaller size) compared to the old art and I absolutely love it. Do u think sigma will update the old 35m art in dg? If they did I think they could get the size / weight close to the new gm 35mm 1.4 surely at a nice price point. What are your thoughts on this? P.s. Love Ur work :)

Is the autofocus much faster than the samyang? I‘am do mainly videography but af is important for me
How is handling with a7c? Is it front heavy?
Hi Julia, can you recomend a lens for operation room shoots. in operation rooms there is low light, plus operation lights are so bright that makes difficult. hope one day you took these portraits for plastic surgery patients at operating rooms.
Most important question for me Is it worth to change from 35mm 1,4 Zeiss to GM?
How does the GM 35mm hold up to the sony 35mm f1.8... and also the samyang 35mm f1.8? 🤔
im not a fan of the 35mm lens, but im a fan of your vids, keep it up..im still a 50mm fanboy though.
Silly question but in the start where you had the auto and eye focus on you and you were moving around, was that achieved by keeping the button pressed half way the whole time?

Really cool Lens. I own a very good copy of the zeiss 1.4 and always LOVED its rendering - a nice blend of character and sharp/clean images. If buying today, i would go for the gmaster, but i wonder how the bokeh falloff and overall rendering really compares? I.care much more about pleasing rendering then sharpness, so im interested to see some comparison model shoots...

Ahhh Julia! I knew I could count on you ! LOL do you think this lens would be good on the Sony A5100? I have a 90D canon but I used to use the Sony for vlogs. I used the standard lens that came with it and it was super crisp. But now that I’m getting more cinematic I want a better lens. I rented the canon 35mm for a trip which I LOVED so much (took your advance).
