  • Perfect lens.
Style: SEL50F12GM + Starter Kit
This lens is beautiful. Sharp, Fast… everything f you want in a lens. Don’t get this lens confused with a nifty fifty lens. It’s much larger, heavier and I wouldn’t compare. I guess you figured that out by the price alone. Definitely worth it though. Best kens I own. I will follow up after more testing! ... show more

  • Best 50mm I have ever used
Style: SEL50F12GM
I was quite happy with my Planar 1.4, but I dropped it. I'm not going to bore you with specs and such. There are a million videos out there for that. I will just tell you, photographer to photographer, that this is one of the most impressive lenses I have ever used. My Planar was sharp and AF was pretty fast. But this lens beats the Planar in every single aspect. Ultimately, for most people, photo quality would be viewed as similar unless you are using particular gear and appropriate viewing stations. For me, the big gain is AF speed. I never like using my 85mm GM because the AF speed pretty much sucks. This lens is lightning fast. The bonus is the extra bit of light gathering at 1.2. I shoot mostly lowlight venues. Every bit of help is greatly appreciated. I basically go in armed with this 50mm 1.2 GM and my 135 1.8 GM hanging at my hips. I go in knowing I have the best gear for the job. Do not hesitate in buying this lens. I will add that I am one of those people that despise 35mm but love 50mm. It's hard to explain, but I know I am not alone in this. I will not be paying for the 35mm GM becaue I would hardly use it. ... show more

  • "Outstanding" doesn't do this lens justice
Style: SEL50F12GM
To call this lens outstanding is to do it a disservice. I have been in the Sony E full-frame ecosystem since the first A7 and have several of the G-Master lens, including the 24-70 and 100-400. I also gave other G lenses, primes and Zeiss zooms. This 50mm exceeds all expectations. It rarely misses focus when f/1.2, which is astounding all by itself. But the time it takes to find focus is nearly instant. The bokeh is surprisingly creamy for such a large aperture and it's not particularly heavy or large. I didn't think I needed f/1.2, maybe f/1.4 but probably f/1.8 would be fine. I don't feel that way anymore. This thing sucks light up like a vacuum and it is the undisputed indoor champion. Images that required 12,800 ISO and barely usable, are crisp and beautiful at ISO 400 with this lens - and that's in a poorly lit room with subjects moving about. It takes your images to the next level. Expensive? Yes, but there are few tools you can add to your setup that are more impactful than this one. ... show more

  • Worth every dollar.
Style: SEL50F12GM
I have owned this lens for two years and can honestly say its the best addition to my photography kit to date. Look, at the end of the day, if you are seriously considering dropping 2 grand on a lens, you shouldn't be questioning if its worth it or not, because it is. I think you have to question whether or not you have the need for it. This lens is like comparing a Sony A7iii to a disposable fujifilm camera. It's heavy, but you kind of get why (lots of glass, excellent build quality). It's crazy fast with a crazy good f stop, what's not to love about it? If you're just shooting rando shots here and there its nice to have, but I don't think you 'need' it making it an unnecessary luxury. If you're a professional however, this should 100% be in the bag, if not, just shoot all the time with it. Buy another A7iii or A7iv just to keep this lens on it. It's so damn good. It still shocks me just how good both photos and video look with this lens. ... show more

  • Best 50 mm lens
Style: SEL50F12GM
I bought this lens not because I use it at 1.2 often but because it is a perfect lens. It has no distortion great color and superb sharpness. I use this lens in studio but also on location. The lens is pretty heavy but it’s not very long, so it doesn’t bother me much. The times I have used it for 1.2 I’ve been in lowlight situations and it does deliver ... show more

  • Wow
Style: SEL50F12GM
An f/1.2 50mm prime lens. You really do pay for that extra f-stop but wow what a lens! These G Master lenses are so good on Sony full frame cameras that you just can’t fault them for their price. Manual focus (obviously) AND autofocus. Did I mention f/1.2? This lens is heavy! There’s a lot of glass in there! But you get what you pay for and this is quality, quality, quality. I’m an amateur photographer but I know a guy who is a professional photographer. His Sony Alpha camera is better than my camera (I have an a7iv) but he swears by this lens, so much so that I just couldn’t help but get it. The way I see it, instead of getting an “okay” cheaper lens and dealing with all the drawbacks of an inferior lens - including from Sony - it’s better to just pay up and get the best lens. I’m sure I’ll be using it for years and years to come even as I upgrade to new cameras in the future (not anytime soon). Good glass will always be good glass and I am confident that a lens like this, if taken care of, will always fetch a good price on the second-hand market. But I won’t be parting with it. As usual with Sony G Master lenses it comes with a fantastic lens case and carry strap. I also like the Sony e-mount and the fact that it’s possible to use these lenses on a variety of Sony cameras. ... show more
