First Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM Lens Reviews

First reviews have begun to appear for Sony’s new super lens   . The Sony FE 50mm f1.2 G Master is a standard prime lens with a very fast aperture for full-frame e-mount mirrorless cameras.

The US price is $1,998, and it is now available for pre-order at B&HPhotoAdorama and Amazon. Here are the first Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM lens reviews.

From CameraLabs verdict :

The Sony 50mm f1.2 G Master becomes the best quality standard lens for the e-mount to date, delivering the razor-sharp details and smooth rendering we’ve come to recognise from Sony’s premium lens series. It’s sharp across the frame, even wide-open at f1.2, performs well throughout its focusing range from near to far, and is well-featured with weather-sealing, a de-clickable aperture ring, rubber-tipped lens hood and focusing that’s smooth, fast and quiet. Perhaps the biggest surprise is how long its taken Sony to produce an f1.2 lens.

It’s not entirely perfect though. All lens designs suffer from some compromise, and in the case of the 50 1.2 GM it’s quite noticeable focus-breathing, where on this model the field of view visibly reduces at close focusing distances. This may be an issue for some videographers, but is unlikely to bother stills photographers, so the decision is yours.
