Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM

The FE 50mm f/1.2 GM is a fast prime at a familiar focal length capable of handling a wide range of subjects with impressive results. An excellent choice whether you’re trying to achieve wider portraits or tighter landscapes, this lens brings G Master quality optics to one of the most versatile prime focal lengths, while retaining a comparably compact form factor. Razor-thin focal planes are possible, thanks to a maximum aperture of f/1.2, while an 11-blade circular aperture keeps out of focus areas smooth. Three extreme aspherical (XA) elements temper distortion and a Nano AR II coating manages flare and ghosting for accurate image rendering. Four XD Linear Motors provide fast and quiet autofocusing, while a de-clickable aperture ring and customizable focus hold button simplify manual control. Dust and moisture sealing repels the elements, elevating the professional appeal of this lens.

Applications: A high-performing prime with a versatile focal length, this lens excels across the board—but especially in low-light environments or in situations where selective focusing is used to make subjects stand out in an image. Ideal for professional portrait, event, street, or landscape photographers looking for a top-tier multipurpose prime.
