The Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM Lens (Sony E) is a powerful, high-performance prime lens that combines exceptional speed, versatility, and optical quality for both stills and video applications. Featuring a fast f/1.2 aperture, G Master resolution, and smooth bokeh, this lens offers an unparalleled shooting experience, making it the perfect choice for portrait photographers, videographers, and anyone looking to capture high-quality imagery in various environments.
G Master Resolution & Beautiful Bokeh
The G Master series is known for delivering high-resolution imagery with superb bokeh quality, and the 50mm f/1.2 GM continues this tradition. The lens utilizes advanced optical designs with three XA (extreme aspherical)elements to effectively control astigmatism, coma, field curvature, and other aberrations, ensuring that images are rendered with exceptional sharpness and detail.
- Nano AR Coating II: This updated coating reduces surface reflections, flare, and ghosting, delivering richer contrast and color accuracy, even in challenging lighting conditions.
- Floating Focus Mechanism: Ensures consistent sharpness across the entire focusing range, providing clarity from close-up to infinity.
Exceptional Speed and Versatility
The 50mm focal length is ideal for a wide range of shooting applications, from portraiture to street photography, landscapes, lifestyle, and architectural shots. The f/1.2 maximum aperture gives you the ability to isolate subjects against beautifully blurred backgrounds using selective focus.
- Shallow Depth of Field: The f/1.2 aperture excels at producing an extremely shallow depth of field, helping you separate your subject from busy backgrounds.
- Low-Light Performance: The bright f/1.2 design allows for handheld shooting and faster shutter speeds even in low-light conditions, making it perfect for shooting in dimly lit environments.
- Rounded 11-Blade Diaphragm: Produces smooth, circular bokeh for aesthetically pleasing out-of-focus highlights.
Fast and Precise Autofocus
The Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM features four XD Linear Motors, which deliver fast, quiet, and highly accurate autofocus, making it ideal for both stills and video shooting:
- XD Linear Motors: Designed to efficiently focus larger, heavier lens elements, ensuring precise focus even at the shallow depths of field typical with an f/1.2 lens.
- Linear Response Manual Focus Control: Offers a more natural, intuitive focus adjustment for those who prefer manual focus.
- AF/MF Switch: Located on the lens barrel for quick and tactile switching between autofocus and manual focus modes.
- Internal Focusing Design: Helps the lens maintain a constant length during operation, contributing to its responsive focusing performance.
- Minimum Focusing Distance: At just 1.3′, this lens offers dynamic close-up shots with a magnification of 0.17x, allowing you to create stunning shallow depth of field imagery with a sharp subject and a beautifully soft background.
Compact and Durable Design
Despite its fast f/1.2 aperture, this lens is relatively compact and lightweight, making it an excellent choice for everyday handheld use. Its ergonomic design and durable build allow you to work comfortably in a variety of environments, including harsh conditions.
- Physical Aperture Ring: The aperture ring can be de-clicked for smooth, silent aperture adjustments, which is especially beneficial for video work.
- Focus Hold Buttons: Two focus hold buttons on the lens barrel provide intuitive tactile control for rapid access to specific settings.
- Dust- and Moisture-Sealed Design: Ensures the lens can withstand challenging conditions, providing added durability for outdoor and demanding shoots.
- Fluorine-Coated Front Element: Resists dust, moisture, and fingerprints, making it easy to clean and maintain.
