G Master Image Quality
The Two high-precision XA (extreme aspherical) lens elements effectively correct distortion and most aberration types. This new optical design also uses an ED (extra-low dispersion) glass element to suppress chromatic aberration. Our original Nano AR Coating II on the lens surfaces greatly reduces internal reflections that can cause flare and ghosting. The Bright f/1.4 maximum aperture with a circular 11-blade design provides a very shallow depth of field for pleasing background blur when using selective focus techniques.
Fast, Quiet & High-Precision Autofocus
The Sony FE 50mm f/1.4 GM Lens locks focus in an instant, in near silence. So whether you’re photographing fast, unpredictable action on the street or filming quiet moments that you don’t want to disturb, you can count on sharply focused images, candid portrait expressions, and unspoilt audio.
A Lightweight and Compact Lens
The XA (extreme aspherical) elements precisely positioned in an innovative design, high-thrust XD linear motors, and the latest compact circular aperture unit work together in a large-aperture high-resolution lens that is only 80.6 mm in outer diameter and 96.0 mm in length while weighing just 18.3 oz (516 grams). A unique blend of mobility and low-light performance makes it an ideal choice for everything from portraits to snapshots.
