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.
I have not noticed this.

It's normal for every lens with Sony XD motors.

Interesting. What should I be listening for. I just tried again, maybe I need my ear right against the camera?

Ah, that makes sense since they're a linear mechanism. I just checked my 135 GM and noticed the exact same thing. The 35 GM isn't as noticeable, but it is there if you give it a light shake (as opposed to rocking the lens back and forth).

It's not really a sound, more of a soft thud feeling. It does literally feel like there is a lens element moving along rails.

Yep. It’s normal.

I'm going to upload a series of images to show the bokeh.
First image was taken at F/1.2

F/2.0 the 11-blade circular aperture is showing off well.

F/2.8
7R407686 by kevinle4230, on Flickr
F/4
7R407687 by kevinle4230, on Flickr
F/5.6
7R407688 by kevinle4230, on Flickr
F/8
7R407689 by kevinle4230, on Flickr
I'm skipping the rest and went to F/16

is it just me or is there a distinct lack of photos with this lens on Flickr? I know it's a new lens and all but I just thought more people would have posted photos. Maybe I'm doing the wrong search of "Sony 50mm f1.2 GM".

It’s a brand new lens that costs $2100 at a focal length many people probably have covered. Wouldn’t be surprised if there aren’t a ton of people sharing the images from it just yet.

Probably because Flickr is all but dead after the sale and changes. I dropped my pro plan and stopped uploading there, and judging by the lack of activity I’m not alone. It’s only a matter of time before it’s sold again or completely shut down. The audience has moved from photo forums and Flickr to Facebook and Instagram. It’s a sign of the times.

Extreme dynamic linear motor will move when there is no power.

Haven’t taken anything worth posting but it just melted the shadows...
Very fast and accurate on the A9II as expected. Loving it so far.

This lens is really impressing me with its rendering. I think it's a more meaningful upgrade to the 50 ZA than I had initially appreciated.

That's my impression as well, there is something different in its rendering, maybe that extra smoothness. It might be bias of course, but as of now I think it produces more dreamy look.
