Anybody has sony f 1.8 55mm zeiss lens?
How's the focus speed in comparison to 50mm f 1.8 OSS?

Just bought a6500 and i noticed that, the focusing speed of 50mm f 1.8 is quite slow, its like it has to think first about 1-2 sec.
I don't think its good for taking video especially moving object.
Should i change to 55mm f1.8?
Thanks in advance

have u manage to check your focus speed setting in menu? it will helps and have u activate face detection as well?

If you're doing video, why not try a manual lens first?

Using gimbal as well, it's quite difficult to use manual..

xtrabite, mind sharing what gimbal u using? I have sony 55mm f1.8, why not we come out and try together, I have some side project to do before decide to buy additional gears for videography.

Zhiyun-M gimbal..
Great idea, but quite busy with work at the moment.. Going oversea.. 😅

Ah i see, okay, hook me up when u back den..
