p.11 #2Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM Image Thread
I haven't been able to use the lens aside from neighborhood walks, but it is peak gardening season here and so I've taken a lot of images to give you a sense of the rendering. Most were shot 1.2 and the remainder mostly f/2 or wider.
Overall things look quite smooth and where there is busy-ness I don't find it objectionable. Some small downsides before the good stuff: I would like to have access to a lens profile in ACR specifically for vingetting. In most images on other lenses I don't correct for it because I like the look, but it's a bit strong here. The maximum magnification can be a bit limiting, would be nice to see you be able to get closer after stopping down similar to the Batis 40. I'm also not sure I feel the 1.2 aperture is as obvious an advantage vs. what I see with my Sigma 35 1.2 and CV 40 1.2. It almost feels like this 50mm GM is closer to a 1.4. That said, image quality is pretty much without fault. One of the biggest advantages is an effective lack of LoCA in my real world images. I haven't done any torture tests but I can already see it's better than pretty much any other wide aperture lens I have. The size and weight feel really reasonable too.

I just got mine and only shot four flowers in my back yard but I impressed with this one.

There are some stunning images in this thread; I’m holding off on a purchase as my job situation is a little ‘up-in-the-air’, maybe a Christmas present to myself later in the year.😁

Obligatory Thames shot. ISO100, F/1.2, 1/2000. The original image is way sharper than the 1600px width imgur rendering.

Sony is knocking it out of the park with their recent prime lenses. Some great images here! I recently got the 35 GM, and don't use 50 that often, so I need to quit looking at this thread or GAS may kick in.

I'm the opposite. I'm a 50 person but need a 35 when I need slightly wider. haha. Need both.

Not sure if this was covered in this thread or other 50 GM-related threads, but those who have the lens in hand, do you notice when the camera is turned off, that there is movement with the lens elements if you rotate the camera up and down? It does for me but goes away once I turn the camera on. I want to know if this is normal.
