Coming to you from Dustin AbbotRate this great video comparing the new one Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG DN Art arrive Sony FE 50mm f/1.4 GM. While both lenses produce impressive images and you may not care about the smaller difference between them, the difference that is very noticeable is the price. Sigma’s version costs $849, while Sony’s version is $1,299, making the Sigma version about a third cheaper than the Sony. However, there are some differences beyond image quality. Perhaps most notably, on fast cameras like the Sony a9 or a1, the Sigma will be limited to a continuous shooting rate of 15 fps, while the Sony version will be able to take advantage of the maximum burst rate. of the camera (20 or 30 fps). So if you’re shooting fast action, there’s obviously a winner, but if you’re using it for something like portrait photography, you’ll likely find either lens perfect. fully usable.
