I love the 50mm focal length, but I am shocked that with 11 blades and all kinds of fancy elements, the GM has cats eye bokeh as soon as the out of focus highlights are any distance from center. The 50 ZA hold circles nearly across the frame.
At least in Julia Trotti’s video of the new GM, it also has a lot of flare...something also well controlled in the 50 ZA. Granted, I hold up the 50 ZA as the best 50 around (having shot Leica, Zeiss, Canon, Nikon, etc.), but I would have hoped the GM to be at least as good in these areas.
Sure, it seems like it focuses faster than you can decide what your subject is, and it is a tad wider aperture, but I feel like they left a few straightforward things on the table. It does not seem quite the revelation of the 135, 24, or 35 GMs.

Really? Come on.
What bug is up your butt? If you watch Trotti’s video, the GM flares a lot. Period. Watch it before you rant.
As for the ZA, the bokeh balls are nicely round...my shot below, so I speak from experience with the lens. I have no time for trolls. Sony makes good lenses. This may or may not be one of their better ones. Time will tell.
