p.16 #1Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM Image Thread
Hello Ketang,
I have been eyeing 50GM for quite a while. I am just wondering how does it perform in close-up? I saw quite a bit of close-up photos here but are those heavily cropped?

Two things I love. Booze and gear. 
Fairly close up and cropped a bit.

Awesome booze and close-up shot! Yes, that is great to hear as it is something I want to know from the users' perspective. Thanks a lot Liggy

My pleasure! I’m liking it enough that the 35 GM is on the radar now.

BTW, my Adobe Lightroom finally updated with the 50 GM lens profile (among other updates, including the 14 GM profile).

Well, I broke down and got one of these last week. The sharpness is frankly astonishingly good...135 GM level. I was floored. Wide open is already crazy-sharp, but stopping down to f/2.8, it more than out-resolves a 42MP sensor.
The colors are balanced but more normal than the ZA (which were almost super saturated). Ergonomics, weight, etc are great...though I am surprised at how thin the glass section is, relative to the barrel diameter...I guess those fancy motors that are so fast are large.
Bokeh is nice, especially up close. I have not had much time to shoot multiple types of subjects.
Very satisfied customer so far. Anxious to shoot more with it.

I had a crazy love affair with The Hibiki a few years back when you could still find the 12 year. After that disappeared I went down quite the Japanese whiskey rabbit hole. This picture brought back memories!

Any shops have this in stock? I think Amazon had a couple, but their shipping is really hit or miss for me with photo gear.

that crop is insane.Only 2000 USD?In Europe they are much more expensive.I had to pay 2850 USD for mine.
Well, that price is before tax so maybe $2250—2400 depending on where you live, but yeah. At least you don't live in Sweden though, the price for the 35 GM is ~$200 more than the rest of the EU.
I'd be more than happy to pay more and live in Sweden

As much as I want the Voigtlander 50 f/2 APO, the Sony is calling my name very loudly. I much prefer a 50mm over 35mm so have held off on the 35 GM, and maybe if the Voigt was f/1.4 or had much better max magnification I'd jump on it.
