You and me both.

Yeah... hopefully Sigma delivers something like that. I'd even take a 50/1.8 or 50/2 depending on the compromises (price, optics). I'd be in the market for this Sony if I were more of a 50mm shooter, but I'm putting my pennies into a 35GM instead. I'm impressed it at least doesn't appear to be obscenely large and heavy from rumors so far.
The 55/1.8 is a small, light and fantastic lens. What don't you like about it?

That’s my plan. Or better, 20% off, though they are rarer...

I know the question wasn't addressed to me but personally the Sonnar rendition. That and the build quality for the price is lacking.

True, only need one faster 50mm and right now I'm seeing my Planar 50mm f/1.4 ZA as that lens on Sony which I already own.
It will be interesting though to see how it compares in focus speed to the excellent FE 135mm f/.8 GM which I own

It is possible, after our cats bring them to us ;-)
Just joking. Our cats are too old now.

interesting design choice: 3 XA elements, but no other special elements. wouldn't expect particularly good LoCA performance...

Except that according to dpreview's video review, there is no LoCA problem.

Julia Trotti put out her hands on review of the 50mm f1.2 GM
https://youtu.be/_XAzD0dpkW8
I really enjoy her videos. Aside from being a very talented photographer. I find her voice very soothing. If I could make my Siri or Alexa sound like Julia, I would! 😀

Looks very good to me as far as you can tell from these samples.
Frankly, I can't understand why Sony doesn't use better / more endeavored photographers for these first impressions.
I just wouldn't upload a picture like that
https://www.flickr.com/photos/markgaler/51037282856/in/album-72157718647687843/
at least not if you want to show the technical qualities of the camera and lens. For me such a picture (and many other samples) shows worrying weaknesses in autofocus.
In general, on my 4 professional screens (2x Full HD, 1x 4k, 1x 5k) his images always seem to me to be hardcore over-sharpened JPEGS.
Mark may be a good photographer, but I think these sample images (similar to what he has done with A7c and 28-60) are pretty ...

Wow lenstip review is already out.
I'm indeed surprised how well the lens performs in terms of LoCA without any special elements.
