Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM

F1.2 objective: unprecedented speed and resolution

This high quality G Master 50mm F1.2 lens is ideal for creators. The maximum aperture of F1.2 guarantees superb shots in various light conditions, high resolution, G Master bokeh effect and flash focus. It's incredibly compact and light, to let your creativity run wild.

G Master resolution without compromise

Compact and lightweight, the GM FE 50mm F1.2 is ideal for avid designers. XA (Extreme Aspherical) lenses and other advanced technologies deliver high resolution and contrast throughout the image. Sony's Nano AR II coating reduces glare and “ghosting”, and floating focus ensures optimum sharpness at any focal length.

Fluid and refined Bokeh G Master

XA lenses and careful control of spherical aberrations during design and manufacture ensure superb G Master bokeh to make subjects stand out, especially with the shallow depth of field available at maximum aperture F1.2. An 11-blade circular aperture mechanism achieves a beautiful circular bokeh.

Fast, precise and quiet AF and tracking

Achieve fast and precise focusing, even with a shallow depth of field of 50mm F1.2. Four XD (Extreme Dynamics) linear motors position the focusing systems for fast and precise results. Sony E-type lenses provide optimum performance with E-type bodies for still images / videos.

More mobility for professionals

At 87mm in diameter, 108mm in length and weighing 778 grams, the GM FE 50mm F1.2 lens fits into compact, high-performance E-type bodies to create a system that provides mobility and maneuverability for professionals. . Equipped with three XA lenses and four XD linear motors, this compact large aperture lens expands the creative possibilities.

Professional quality control and reliability

The two focus lock buttons, the AF mode switch, and the zoom and aperture rings make it easy to use. Lock buttons can be reassigned via the menu. The linear response MF function ensures that the zoom ring responds linearly. Dust / moisture resistance
and fluorine treatment improve its reliability.

High quality "standard" G Master 50mm F1.2 lens

Featuring stunning resolution and bokeh worthy of the G Master range, plus spectacular autofocus performance, all in an ultra-light and compact design, the first 50mm F1.2 lens from the α range is an ideal choice for everyday applications. Whether you're shooting a video or taking photos, this lens can take your creativity and artistic expression to a whole new level.

Sharpness over the entire image at F1.2

The resolution and contrast are remarkable over the entire aperture range, down to F1.2. The three XA (Extreme Aspherical) lenses built into the advanced optical design mitigate overall aberration, while other advanced optical technologies minimize the chromatic aberration of this surprisingly compact and lightweight lens.

Compact and mobile format to express your creativity in complete freedom

Large aperture lenses are often large and heavy. The GM FE 50mm F1.2 measures just 87 x 108mm and weighs just 778 grams. Sony's state-of-the-art optical system along with formidable XD linear motors and mechanical design combine to form a practical, mobile lens suitable for any shooting situation.

Anti-reflective coating II for clear images even against backlighting

Sony's Anti-Glare Nano Coating II helps create images of incredible clarity and definition, even in strong sunlight and strong backlighting. This advanced coating is applied evenly over the entire lens surface, effectively reducing internal glare to prevent in-image glare and “ghosting”.

Fluid and refined Bokeh G Master

Three XA (Extreme Aspherical) lenses with precision 

0.01 micron surface area, as well as careful control of spherical aberrations during design and manufacture, help create a beautiful bokeh worthy of the G Master range, allowing models and other subjects to stand out in the world. 'image, especially at the maximum aperture of F1.2 of this lens.

11-blade circular aperture to enhance bokeh

The new 11-blade circular aperture mechanism creates a beautiful circular bokeh. Circles of Light provide a superb rendering, further enhancing the widely acclaimed beauty of G Master grade bokeh. Blurry backgrounds are smoother and more pleasing to the eye, regardless of the situation and the light.

Natural, linear response to manual focus

Linear Response Manual Focus provides direct, linear zoom ring response when precise control is required. Rotating the zoom ring results in an immediate and precise change in focus. Linear Response Manual Focus improves manual focus for both stills and movies.

Close-ups with a stunning bokeh effect

The minimum focus of 0.4 meters and the maximum magnification of 0.17x offer great flexibility during close-ups, for both stills and movies. XA (Extreme Aspherical) lenses and a floating focus mechanism provide crisp sharpness and sublime background bokeh at F1.2 regardless of focus distance.

XD linear motors: Fast and precise AF and tracking

Get fast and precise focusing, even with a shallow depth of field of F1.2. Four XD (Extreme Dynamics) linear motors provide the efficiency needed to position heavy lens elements for precise autofocus and tracking. High resolution is preserved regardless of the distance to the subject, thanks to the speed and precision of autofocus of E-type cameras, for both stills and movies.

Opening ring with on / off switch

It also features an aperture ring for direct and intuitive aperture control. A handy switch turns off the clicks of the aperture ring for more discretion when shooting.

Customizable focus lock button and other advanced controls

The focus lock buttons are located on the top and side of the lens. Other functions can be assigned to these buttons through the camera menu, for direct access to essential user workflow functions, including right / left eye selection with Eye autofocus AF on cameras that support this function.

Dust and moisture resistant design

Dust and moisture resistant design
provides the reliability needed for outdoor use in harsh conditions.

Fluorine coating on the front lens

The front lens lenses feature a fluorine coating that resists water, grease, and other contaminants, and prevents fingerprints from sticking to the lens surface and makes cleaning easier.
