Extraordinary Resolution
Featuring a new optical design and leading-edge technology, the Sony FE 50mm f1.2 GM lens delivers performance without parallel. XA (extreme aspherical) lens elements work to deliver astonishing resolution in every shot, from the centre-right through to the edges. Sony Nano AR Coating II suppresses ghosting and flare, ensuring clear and vibrant images even in backlighting. Meanwhile, a floating focus mechanism delivers the sharpest possible performance at any focusing distance from 0.4m to infinity.
Breathtaking Brightness and Bokeh
With an f1.2 maximum aperture, the Sony FE 50mm f1.2 GM lens is brighter than any G Master lens before it. This greatly expands your shooting possibilities, enabling clear, vivid image capture in a wider range of lighting conditions, from sunny landscapes to moody interiors. Combined with an 11-blade circular diaphragm, it also results in breathtakingly smooth, refined bokeh that will elevate any portrait or other subject.
Ultra-fast and Precise AF and Tracking
Capture the most fleeting action with incredible sharpness and speed. Equipped with four XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors, the Sony 50mm f1.2 GM lens offers ultra-fast and precise AF (autofocus) and tracking – even at wide-open aperture settings. Whether you’re shooting stills in high-speed bursts, or recording video, this ensures every shot you take is sharply focused.
Pro-level Reliability and Control
At just 778g, the Sony 50mm f1.2 GM lens is the lightest and smallest of any in its class*. Teamed with compact Sony E-mount cameras, it provides outstanding freedom of movement, ease of handling, and high reliability. Convenient controls, including two focus, and hold buttons, let you easily switch focus modes, lock your focal point, de-click the aperture ring, or program and access a variety of other functions.
