I have zero fast FE lenses in the bag and I love the 50mm focal length. Both seem to deliver fantastic images. No need for video.
The 1.4 used looks like a way better financial choice and is far more capable than me as a photographer but I’ve decided to preorder the 1.2
Buy once, cry once. If the 1.4 was significantly lighter / smaller that might have made a difference but I’m not seeing a downside to the 1.2
Just stumbled upon this. Personally I really don’t care *that* much for MTF charts but if you like them you’ll like this. Roger Cicala directly compares the Zony and the 1.2 in this article.
Thank you. I hadn't seen this either and was wondering if Roger was going to take "a look " at Sony's first step into 1.2 land.
"Testing the new Sony FE 50mm F1.2 GM
Sony sent me five copies of the new FE 50mm F1.2 GM for pre-testing. This is not complete testing, since it's only five copies, but that should be enough to give us some information. And while I haven't tested the Canon and Nikon 50mms, the designs suggest they should be rather similar." -Roger/DPR
My kind of reading !
