Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM Sony E
Sony E, full sizeProduct details
The compact, lightweight FE 50mm F1.2 GM is ideal for demanding content creators. XA (Extreme Aspherical) elements and other advanced technologies enable high-resolution, high-contrast images - from center to edge. Sony's AR Nano Coating II prevents ghosting and light effects, and the floating focus mechanism ensures optimum sharpness at any focus distance.
XA elements and accurate spherical aberration correction in design and manufacturing result in the beautiful bokeh typical of G Master. In particular, the shallow depth of field at F1.2 open aperture is ideal for portraits or cropping other subjects. A circular aperture mechanism with 11 blades contributes to a beautiful circular bokeh.
Even with the extremely shallow depth of field at 50mm F1.2, AF is fast and accurate. Four XD (eXtreme Dynamic) linear motors control the AF's large, heavy focus groups quickly and accurately. For both stills and video, the original technology of Sony's E-mount lenses retrieves the maximum performance of E-mount cameras.
With a diameter of 87 mm, a length of 108 mm and a weight of just 778 grams, the FE 50 mm F1.2 GM on compact, high-performance E-mount cameras meets all the requirements for professional, mobile operation. The three XA elements and four XD linear motors of this fast, amazingly compact lens open up many creative possibilities.
Professional reliability and operation
Two focus hold buttons, a focus adjustment switch, an aperture ring with switchable click-stop detent and other elements facilitate handling. Per camera, the focus hold buttons can be assigned differently. The focus ring enables linear-response manual focusing. Dust and moisture protection1 and the fluorine coating of the front element ensure greater reliability.

An investment in the future is the light and powerful FE 1.2/50 mm GM for Sony photographers.
Measured against Sony mirrorless, 43 MP, KB: Sony lands the next hit with the FE 1.2/50 mm GM: 2300 euros is a proud price, but the 1.2 can be used open very well: In the centre the contrast is very high, the resolution ok, and at the same time the performance in the field of view fits. At aperture 2.5, the resolution increases by 150 LP and the edge drop of the contrast decreases...
