Pre-order: Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM ($1,998)

Maybe you’ll get a 50 1.2 GM at 600 grams and $1700! I, unlike others, don’t think this lens will be over 2k. I could easily see Sony designers’ goals for this lens as basically a 50 1.4 GM but with the bonus 1/3 stop thrown in. Same size, weight, and price as an erstwhile hypothetical 50 1.4 GM. Look at the Sony 35 1.4 GM and the 35 ZA; the GM undercuts it at checkout. Maybe my expectations are too high, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Sony designs this lens as if no one would ever want for a 50 1.4 GM.
