This exceptional 50 mm F1.2 G Master with fixed focal length leaves nothing to be desired and shines with ultra-fast autofocus and fantastic G Master bokeh. With the F1.2 aperture, high-resolution images can be achieved even in low light. There are no limits to creativity with this compact, lightweight lens. XA elements (Extreme Aspherical) and other modern technologies enable high-resolution, high-contrast images - from the centre to the edge. Sony's AR Nano Coating II prevents ghosting and flare effects and the floating focus mechanism ensures optimum sharpness at any focus distance. XA elements and the precise correction of spherical aberrations in design and manufacture result in the beautiful bokeh typical of G Master. Above all, the shallow depth of field at F1.2 aperture is ideal for portraits or the cropping of other subjects. A circular aperture mechanism with 11 blades contributes to a beautiful circular bokeh.

Even with the extremely shallow depth of field at 50 mm F1.2, AF is fast and precise. Four XD (eXtreme Dynamic) linear motors control the large, heavy focus groups of the AF quickly and precisely. For both stills and video, the original technology of Sony's E-mount lenses maximises the performance of E-mount cameras. The three XA elements and four XD linear motors of this fast, amazingly compact lens open up many creative possibilities. Two focus hold buttons, a focus adjustment switch, an aperture ring with switchable click-stop click-stop diaphragm and other elements facilitate handling. The focus hold buttons can be assigned differently via the camera. The focus ring enables linear manual focussing. Dust and moisture protection1 and the fluorine coating on the front element ensure greater reliability.
