This is our first 50mm GMaster Prime with a constant f/1.2 maximum aperture, delivering fast, precise autofocus, beautiful bokeh, & corner-to-corner resolution.
•Breath-taking bokeh and crisp resolution with F1.2, 11-blade aperture.
•Natural perspective with 50mm focal length, 0.4m minimum focusing distance.
•Lightweight at 778g
•Fast, Precise Autofocus with 4 XD Linear Motors
•Minimized aberrations with 3 XA Elements.
50mm F1.2 “standard” G Master prime lens
With breathtaking G Master resolution and bokeh plus outstanding AF performance in a remarkably compact, lightweight design, the first 50mm F1.2 lens in the α lineup is an excellent choice for day-to-day applications. Whether you’re shooting stills or movies, this lens can take your creativity and expression to new heights.
Image-wide sharpness from F1.2
Resolution and contrast are outstanding throughout the aperture range, right up to F1.2. Three XA (extreme aspherical) lens elements in an advanced optical path subdue overall aberration, and other advanced optical technologies minimize chromatic aberration in a lens that is surprisingly compact and lightweight.
Compact mobility means creative freedom
Large-aperture lenses are often large and heavy. The FE 50mm F1.2 GM is only 87 x 108 mm (3-1/2 x 4-3/8 in.) and weighs just 778 grams (27.5 oz.). State-of-the-art optics plus Sony’s amazing XD Linear Motors and mechanical design come together in a convenient, mobile lens for any shooting situation.
Bokeh-enhancing 11-blade circular aperture
A new 11-blade circular aperture mechanism contributes to beautiful bokeh. Circular highlights are exquisitely rendered too, further enhancing the widely acclaimed beauty of G Master bokeh. Out-of-focus backgrounds are smoother and more pleasing in just about any situation and lighting.
Nano AR Coating II ensures clear images in backlit scenes
Sony’s Nano AR Coating II helps to achieve clear, well-defined images even in strong sunlight and backlighting. This advanced coating is evenly applied to entire element surfaces, effectively minimizing internal reflections so that flare and ghosting do not occur.
Smooth, refined G Master bokeh
Three XA (extreme aspherical) elements with 0.01-micron surface precision, plus painstaking spherical aberration control at the design and manufacturing stages, contribute to gorgeous G Master bokeh that can really make portrait and other subjects stand out, especially at the lens’s maximum F1.2 aperture.
XD Linear Motors achieve fast, precise, quiet AF and tracking
Fast, accurate focus is assured even with shallow F1.2 depth of field. Four XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors deliver high thrust to position the large, heavy focus groups for precision AF and tracking. High resolution is maintained at all focusing distances with the full AF speed and precision of E-mount bodies, for both stills and movies.
