From the manufacturer

Image of landscape showing death and quality

G Master resolution without compromise

The compact, lightweight FE 50 mm F1.2 GM features advanced technologies to achieve extraordinary resolution from the image center right out to the edges. Sony Nano AR Coating II subdues flare and ghosting, while a floating focus mechanism ensures optimum sharpness at any focusing distance.

Portrait image showing great Bokeh

Smooth, refined G Master bokeh

XA elements plus painstaking spherical aberration control at the manufacturing stages contribute to gorgeous G Master bokeh, especially with the shallow depth of field available at the lens's maximum F1.2 aperture. An 11-blade circular aperture mechanism contributes to beautifully circular bokeh.

Internal drawing of linear motors

Fast, precise, quiet AF and tracking

Fast, accurate focus is assured, even with shallow 50 mm F1.2 depth of field. Four XD Linear Motors smoothly deliver high thrust to position the large, heavy focus groups for fast, accurate AF. Original Sony E-mount lens technology ensures that you get maximum performance from E-mount bodies.

Image of lens can camera in a photographers hand showing mobility

Professional mobility

3.5" (87 mm) in diameter, 4.38" (108 mm) long, and weighing 27.5 oz (778 g), the FE 50 mm F1.2 GM complements Sony's compact E-mount bodies to create a system that gives shooters extra mobility. Three XA elements and four XD Linear Motors in a large-aperture lens that is surprisingly compact.

Image showing the lens buttons

Professional control

Two focus hold buttons, a focus mode switch, a focus ring, and an aperture ring with switchable click stops support smooth operation. The focus hold buttons can be assigned to other functions via a camera menu. Linear Response MF ensures that the focus ring responds linearly to manual focus control.

    I was quite happy with my Planar 1.4, but I dropped it. I'm not going to bore you with specs and such. There are a million videos out there for that. I will just tell you, photographer to photographer, that this is one of the most impressive lenses I have ever used. My Planar was sharp and AF was pretty fast. But this lens beats the Planar in every single aspect. Ultimately, for most people, photo quality would be viewed as similar unless you are using particular gear and appropriate viewing stations. For me, the big gain is AF speed. I never like using my 85mm GM because the AF speed pretty much sucks. This lens is lightning fast. The bonus is the extra bit of light gathering at 1.2. I shoot mostly lowlight venues. Every bit of help is greatly appreciated. I basically go in armed with this 50mm 1.2 GM and my 135 1.8 GM hanging at my hips. I go in knowing I have the best gear for the job. Do not hesitate in buying this lens. I will add that I am one of those people that despise 35mm but love 50mm. It's hard to explain, but I know I am not alone in this. I will not be paying for the 35mm GM becaue I would hardly use it.

    An f/1.2 50mm prime lens. You really do pay for that extra f-stop but wow what a lens! These G Master lenses are so good on Sony full frame cameras that you just can’t fault them for their price. Manual focus (obviously) AND autofocus. Did I mention f/1.2? This lens is heavy! There’s a lot of glass in there! But you get what you pay for and this is quality, quality, quality. I’m an amateur photographer but I know a guy who is a professional photographer. His Sony Alpha camera is better than my camera (I have an a7iv) but he swears by this lens, so much so that I just couldn’t help but get it. The way I see it, instead of getting an “okay” cheaper lens and dealing with all the drawbacks of an inferior lens - including from Sony - it’s better to just pay up and get the best lens. I’m sure I’ll be using it for years and years to come even as I upgrade to new cameras in the future (not anytime soon). Good glass will always be good glass and I am confident that a lens like this, if taken care of, will always fetch a good price on the second-hand market. But I won’t be parting with it. As usual with Sony G Master lenses it comes with a fantastic lens case and carry strap. I also like the Sony e-mount and the fact that it’s possible to use these lenses on a variety of Sony cameras.

    To call this lens outstanding is to do it a disservice. I have been in the Sony E full-frame ecosystem since the first A7 and have several of the G-Master lens, including the 24-70 and 100-400. I also gave other G lenses, primes and Zeiss zooms. This 50mm exceeds all expectations. It rarely misses focus when f/1.2, which is astounding all by itself. But the time it takes to find focus is nearly instant. The bokeh is surprisingly creamy for such a large aperture and it's not particularly heavy or large. I didn't think I needed f/1.2, maybe f/1.4 but probably f/1.8 would be fine. I don't feel that way anymore. This thing sucks light up like a vacuum and it is the undisputed indoor champion. Images that required 12,800 ISO and barely usable, are crisp and beautiful at ISO 400 with this lens - and that's in a poorly lit room with subjects moving about. It takes your images to the next level. Expensive? Yes, but there are few tools you can add to your setup that are more impactful than this one.

    I've been a professional Sony shooter for awhile now and have used a variety of G and GM lenses. Prior to buying this lens, the majority of my shooting was with 35 1.4 GM, 85 1.8, and 200-600 G lenses. There is something magical about the bokeh on this lens. $2,000 is pretty steep for some glass, but it is absolutely worth the investment. If you're on the line about buying, rent one for a hands on experience and I am confident that you won't be disappointed. The only downside for some is that this lens is large and heavy, which doesn't bother me. It makes me look forward to whenever Sony will release an 85 1.2 GM lens down the road.

    Put it in and haven’t taken it off. Super fast auto focus and easy manual focus too, nice firm f stop movement. Super crisp all the way to the edges. Perfect for portraits and street, yep, it is big and heavy but that f1.2 is something to behold, creamy bokeh, great subject differentiation. Like it very much.
