I know this is a weird comparison - but curious how this compares to the Sigma 65/2, which was getting high grades as one of the sharpest lenses around.

I really loved the idea of this lens but when I looked at the last 11 years of shooting I really didn't take any shots I loved at 50mm that wasn't a landscape that could have been replicated with even more resolution by stitching some 85mm shots together.....
35mm and 85+ were far more preferred. Probably save the $$ and wait until the next big thing.

A really nice toned comparison with ZA by Julia Trotti:

She did a very good job of it, equalising settings and back to back shooting. Interesting to see a little LoCA in the model's hair in both lenses. I prefer the f1.4 here as well.

First link is Sony's official statement which apolgizes for delayment of 50GM production and If you look at second link, which is Sony Japan Store's 50GM product page, Google translation says "This product has received orders that far exceed expectations, and the estimated shipping schedule for current orders is 'late September'."

September, huh? I wonder how many made it to EU before the shortage hit.

Strange that the lens wouldn't be available until Sept.
The lens is in stock here in Sweden. My local camera store got it.
Mattsons foto if someone in Sweden is looking to buy:

Is the autofocus motor faster than the Sony 35mm 1.4 GM's autofocus motor?

I've got my fingers crossed as well. Was expecting a delay, but not 4-5 months...

Interesting read. Thanks for the link Fred.
I hope a 85mm f1.2 GM is in the works.

As of today, both Adorama and B&H still state that Sony will ship the lens on May 13. Let's hope that doesn't change!

This is interesting - I have the GM on order but I did love the ZA and in this comparison I like the rendering and colors/clarity more from the ZA. Hmmmmmm

Has anyone in the US heard anything about a delay? My preorder isn't through one of the big two, but I've been checking the estimated ship date periodically and it doesn't seem to have reflected Sony Japan's delay announcement.
the 35GM delay was announced just a week before the initial ship date, so hopefully we're in the clear here.

No way! Mine did too. Thanks for the heads up.
I called BH today to change my shipping to overnight. That way I’ll get it this Friday instead of having to wait until Monday with 2 day shipping. I’m pretty excited to get my hands on this little gem.
