Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM: Moment / B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama
Optical Limits published its full Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM review which you can read in full here or check out the excerpt below:
The Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM may not be cheap, but it IS an outstanding lens by most standards. It’s extremely sharp in the image center at f/1.2 already and the outer image field is pretty good here. Stopped down a little, and the results are almost mindblowingly sharp up into the corners. RAW images show some heavy vignetting at f/1.2 but auto-correction can help here, of course. Distortions and lateral CAs are low to start with anyway. Maybe more important than the image sharpness is the silky smooth bokeh. After all, you are probably interested in this lens for its shallow depth-of-field capabilities. There is some bokeh fringing (LoCA) going on but this applies to the vast majority of fast lenses. The build quality and AF speed is up to professional standards. Videographers will also like the de-clickable aperture ring as well as the compatibility with Sony’s breathing compensation (depending on the camera body).
