Is the sony planar t fe 50mm f 1 4 za good for video?

The Planar T* FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA is a good fit for filmmaking. Our video guide recommends fast primes, because they keep exposure steady as you work and let you shoot with a wide aperture. This lens is fast at f/1.4, but it isn't stabilised, so you'll want a stable rig or a stabiliser.

It's a poor choice for vlogging. A 50mm view is too tight for arm's-length shooting. For that, see the vlogging section.

For filmmaking on full frame, the Sony FX3 and the Sony a7S III are both on this lens's list of fitting bodies. Check the video guide for what else to look for, including full-width 4K and ND filters.
