Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 Overview Impressive Speed and Sharpness Combining speed, versatility, and quality, the Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM is a normal-length prime that flexes a bright f/1.2 design and advanced optics while remaining portable and lightweight for everyday shooting. As a G Master lens, resolution and bokeh are top priorities, and this 50mm f/1.2 goes on to also include a sophisticated focusing system to suit both stills and video needs and a reliable physical design that’s intuitive to use and durable enough for working in harsh environments. G Master Resolution and Bokeh G Master lenses prioritize sharpness and bokeh quality by featuring advanced optical designs and specialized elements. Three XA (extreme aspherical) elements effectively control astigmatism, field curvature, coma, distortion, and other spherical aberrations for a high degree of sharpness and accurate rendering. Nano AR Coating II has been applied to reduce surface reflections, flare, and ghosting for increased contrast and color rendering in strong lighting conditions. This updated coating is better suited for larger, curved elements and is especially adept at minimizing internal reflections. Floating focus mechanism helps to ensure optimum and consistent sharpness throughout the focusing range. Exceptional Speed and Versatility Normal 50mm focal length suits a variety of subjects and shooting applications, ranging from portraiture and street shooting to landscapes, lifestyle, and architectural subjects. Truly impressive f/1.2 maximum aperture yields extremely shallow depth of field results for separating subjects from busy backgrounds using selective focus. Beyond depth of field control, the f/1.2 design also benefits shooting handheld and working with faster shutter speeds in low-light conditions. Autofocus and Physical Design DC actuator motor offers quick, quiet, and accurate autofocus performance to suit both stills and video applications. Minimum focusing distance of 1.5′ and a 0.15x maximum magnification suit working with nearby subjects. Metal bayonet offers increased durability and a solid feel when mounting the lens.
