Sony's micro single purchase Raiders 4: feelings or flicker? Million yuan cable 50 focus is not worth?

Foreword

For a long time, the standard fixed-focus lens gave the user a simple, light and inexpensive impression. His perspective is simple, flat, and ordinary, which is the first choice for many photographers. If the structure of the lens is simple, perhaps 50 focus can be the first priority. Therefore, in the history of the lens, there is no lack of 50-focus, but there is always no 50-focus image giving people a "medium." However, in recent years, various manufacturers have been making efforts to focus on 50, let this once seemingly "mediocre" 50, into the top quality of the hall. The current protagonist Sony Planar FE 50mm f/1.4ZA is also such a lens.

The arrival of the SonyPlanar FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA has caused me some surprises, but it is also reasonable. After all, the FE50 1.8 is a bit introductory, and the FE55 1.8ZA aperture is not enough, while the FE50 2.8 is for macro service. Only Sony Planar FE 50mm f/1.4ZA can satisfy my professional photographer who is pursuing the top quality experience. So when my lens was put into my arms, my mood was like this.

Exterior

For the look of the Sony Planar FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA, I just want to say that this is Sony. Focusless head fixed focus, metal focus ring, tough and concise lines, and a touch of small blue label. In particular, the metal focus ring holds the hand in order to convey a complete cold feel, non-rubber focus ring comparable.

To make the out-of-focus bokeh even softer, Sony Planar FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA also introduced 11 round aperture blades that appeared in the G-Master series. However, when the aperture is fully open, it does not show the advantages of 11 blades. Only when the aperture is slowly reduced can you experience the thrill of pure round spots.

With regard to the introduction of the lens body part so far, no matter how good the work is, the feel is no longer the focus. With more than 10,000 silver coins, whether or not I can get the top quality is what the author cares most about, so the next test machine is the key.

Any shot, if you don't have a lot of real shooting experience, can't really understand its temperament. So Sony Planar FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA started for more than a month, I concentrated on taking thousands of photos, just to be able to thoroughly understand the lens performance, the objective of this Sony Planar FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA, Complete presentation in front of everyone.

1, resolution.

The quality of a lens quality is the most intuitive one is the resolution of the lens. It is also known as sharp and not sharp, 100% magnification can not count a few hairs. After all, this is a million-dollar 1.4-aperture lens, 1.4 aperture must be very available to meet the user's psychological expectations. How is the actual performance? Please feel free to feel it:

I can see clearly in my child's eyes.

SONY ILCE-7RM2+FE 50mm F1.4 ZA 1/100s F8 ISO80

I do not know whether the F8 is the embodiment of the highest quality of the lens, because the 1.4 aperture has fully met my photo resolution requirements, so this lens is the best aperture value, I did not seriously test.

2, virtual.

Many people think that the lens blur of 50 1.4 is probably almost the same. In fact, this view is not correct. The blurring ability of a lens, 50 focal lengths and 1.4 apertures are certainly important factors, but there are even more important factors, namely, the transition of ambiguity. The terminology is whether the out-of-focus two-linearity is serious, and the popular saying is whether or not the focus can be as creamy.

SONY ILCE-7RM2+FE 50mm F1.4 ZA 1/200s F2.8 ISO100

Although only 2.8 apertures are open, it is still very soft to blur the foreground and background. The out-of-focus level transitions naturally, and there is no apparently chaotic bilinearity. What about the performance of a large close-up portrait after shooting the aperture? Please see:

SONY ILCE-7RM2+FE 50mm F1.4 ZA 1/500s F1.4 ISO400

The out-of-focus outside of the distance is almost completely gone. The advantage of this is that no matter where you are, you can easily peel off the characters from the messy background and simplify the process. This is also one of the subjects that FE 50mm F1.4 ZA is best at shooting. The closer it gets, the better the background blurring ability.

Although the full-body portrait blur is not a specialty of FE 50mm F1.4 ZA, I still choose to release proofs. Let everyone have a more comprehensive understanding of this lens. The full-body portrait is supported by 1.4 apertures. Although there is no cream-like focus, it still has a good ability to blur.

3, purple edge.

1.4 The lens of a large aperture has a common pain, that is purple fringing. Especially in the light than in the environment, the appearance of purple fringing is almost inevitable. FE 50mm F1.4 ZA also takes into account the purple edge's control capability while pursuing resolution and blur. Although it is still unable to completely eliminate purple fringing, the performance of purple fringes has actually been very slight.

SONY ILCE-7RM2+FE 50mm F1.4 ZA 1/5000s F1.4 ISO100

It can be seen from the screenshots above that the purple fringing phenomenon is not serious even when the aperture is open at 1.4. Belong to the degree that can be easily eliminated in the later period, do not even need to be late, as long as not 100% of the screenshots are difficult to detect.

4, anti-glare.

This should be regarded as the Zeiss lens's masterpiece skills, under the T plating blessing, glare, ghosts are not the case.

Experienced photographers will generally tell you that when shooting against backlighting, you should try to avoid flash shooting, because direct sunlight is very easy to glare in the new city, the picture is pale, without any details. However, this theory does not seem to be practical for FE 50mm F1.4ZA. Because even facing the sun, FE 50mm F1.4ZA can effectively suppress glare, leaving enough detail.

In the past, in my favorite backlight photography, I always try to find the right backlight angle to avoid glare. However, the FE 50mm F1.4 ZA does not need to be raised and it is safe to use.

5. Distortion.

Usually, the 50-focal distortion is so slight that it is hardly noticeable to the naked eye, as is the FE 50mm F1.4 ZA. As long as the shooting process can ensure that the camera is flat, the lines are absolutely horizontal and vertical.

6. Let's talk about color metaphysics.

Although the digital era mainly depends on the color, but as a Zeiss blue, I still care whether it has a poisonous University. So the first set of photos of the test machine was all JPG straight out. There is only one setting in the machine that has an effect on the color, vivid mode, saturation +1, contrast +1, and clear +1.

In the evening, three lanes and seven lanes, the outdoor light is soft and the indoor night light is on. It is precisely the time when the color is the most abundant and the contrast between cold and warm is the strongest. It can best explain the interpretation of color by a lens. FE 50mm F1.4 ZA fully embodies several characteristics of the ZEISS lens color: rich, oily, high contrast, high sharpness. Looking closely at the picture, the contrast between the high light and the shadow on the uncle's face coming out of the swiftlet store, the transition from cold to warm, and the wooden texture on the sideboard sign, fully illustrate the fact that the lens is really Zeiss. Of course, this part of the color also benefits from the vivid mode of the camera. If it is the standard mode, the color will be lighter, and it will not seem like a poisonous university.

7, night weapon.

1.4 The meaning of a large aperture is still in the eyes of the night, even if you do not use the flash, you can get a very clean picture. To illustrate this point, I asked the Queen model to create the following set of low light photography. Another thing to emphasize is that this set of photos has all been beautified and dermabrased. After all, for me, I have to rely on photos to eat. The pursuit is the ultimate result, not the original film.

This photo uses the faint table lamp in the coffee house as the main light source to outline the contours of the model's face. The foreground is an elk full of LED lights. The distant background is an LED light hung on bamboo leaves. Aperture through 1.4 is a good interpretation of the perspective relationship between the front and back, and will reduce the ISO at a very low level, so that the entire picture is clean and clear.

From the same perspective, in order to illuminate the body, the lamp was moved further. The light is weaker, but it is still able to control the ISO within 800.

8, the closest focusing distance.

Focusing on this angle of view is the best way to zoom in when close-up shots are taken, so it's always best to shoot close-up shots as close as possible. The closest focusing distance of the FE 50mm F1.4 ZA is 0.45 meters. No need to cut a picture, this full-sized head close-up can be completed.

SONY ILCE-7RM2+FE 50mm F1.4 ZA 1/125s F1.4 ISO2000

to sum up.

As a million-dollar 50, perhaps the price is the biggest obstacle. After spending so much money, consumers always like to get the best 50. This lens has excellent quality, high resolution, slight purple fringing, good blur, anti-glare ghost, in the massive real shot, the strength of its backlight shooting is amazing, be a good choice. The so-called light is not to practice the style, the quality of a lens definitely does not stay on paper, and finally attached some real proofs FE 50mm F1.4 ZA proofs.
