Pre-order: Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM ($1,998)
From many of Sony’s more recent releases (GM 24, GM 35, G 20, A7c) they seem to understand and value smaller size. So, I would be quite surprised if they release a bigma type GM 50. I think, like the GM 35, it will come in smaller than we are used to. And I hope it doesn’t draw like that RF 50 and 85 1.2’s...Sony also seems get the rendering balance better than the RF line.

I also think it’s interesting how we are getting duplicate high-end prime lenses for the Zeiss offerings while also not getting any Zeiss primes, either Batis or Loxia, or an RX1R3–it’s seems that the Sony/Zeiss partnership has withered.

And I am not much of a 50mm shooter, but the ZA 50/1.4 has a very pleasant draw for a highly corrected modern 50mm to my eyes, with loads of separation/volume/3-D. Very curious to see this 50 GM draw.
