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".
A Flickr contact of mine, Ata Mohammad Adnan, recently posted some photographs taken with the Sony 50mm f1.2 GM he has been able to borrow. As of today, the last 10 or so photos in his photostream are pictures taken with it:
Just testing out the 50 GM at f/1.2 on my A7R4 with our daughter...the ease at which I can get sharp f/1.2 shots with this combo is hilarious compared to my Canon 6D & 50mm 1.2L days from many moons ago.
I'm still waiting on a lens profile to edit these shots below to their ultimate versions, but since that might take time I'll share them with light edits from ACR. Mostly shot between 1.2 and 1.6:
Some really great images here! Getting me really hyped up about this lens.
I'll finally be receiving mine tomorrow. Pre-ordered in the US too late and didnt make it into the first batch that B&H received but got lucky with an Amazon order I just placed on Monday. I'm glad this lens doesn't seem as rare as the 35 GM was at launch.

Beautiful images, mostly in the reportage tradition, very well done. The images, especially those at the second link, remind me a bit of Cartier-Bresson.
Please stop posting. I had soundly convinced myself that this lens was just a minor improvement over the ZA. I love the ZA. I have a bo-zillion 50mm lenses. I should not want another...

Just stop!

I tried them against each other for personal interest and I couldn't really find a reason to keep ZA after seeing what the GM can do. Maybe it was bias or I was more lucky/had better light with the GM but it was both sharper and smoother at the same time and the pictures inherently had more pop. I don't really agree now with the pros saying the difference is that minor (I also don't agree with the voices saying now ZA never was a great lens). At least for the images coming out of the camera, I guess if you process every image sufficiently then you will make these two lenses (and many others) equal...

I have more photos with the 50 1.4 ZA than any other lens. I sold it and now the 50 1.2 GM will probably be my most used lens.
