Pros: wonderful, perfection for those who have Sony bodies

Cons: not even the weight, as it is the lightest in its category

Opinion: I remember the 50 L II 1.2 adapted on RP, it was fine, but it was not as perfect as the GM on bodies with AI af, here we are talking about useful and functional tools for artistic purposes and not only in a short time and without stress, I experienced this feeling with Fuji, but in a different way thanks to its analog rings and colors, here we have a bit of everything with less analog marketing

Pros: Magic in the shot, best AF ever seen, stratospheric details, no aberration or reflections of any kind, general feeling of having found the perfect lens.

Cons: To take full advantage of it, you would need a very high-end camera body.

Opinion: A lens that I don't think has many competitors. After seeing hundreds of video reviews and opinions on the comparison with the 50mm GM 1.4, all agreeing in putting both lenses on the same level, I decided to try the two lenses at the same time. The result is not even remotely comparable, as the 50mm 1.2 is dramatically superior in: - blurry, at any aperture; - ambient light management; - details (collects any and I mean any micron); - noise at high ISO (it doesn't seem to notice it at all); - feeling of "magic" in every shot; - Autofocus and subject identification. I could go on for hours, but the concept wouldn't change: always test the lenses yourself whenever possible. The weight, for all the glass inside and for the four AF motors, is absolutely congruous. The price is slightly higher than other GMs, but the quality is unmatched. Think of it as an investment for life: you'll never want to part with it.

Pros: brightness, quality in general.

Cons: big and heavy.

Opinion: I put between the cons the size and weight but you know that extra brightness you pay in these terms and not only from an economic point of view. Coming from the zeiss batis 55 1.8, (lens that in my opinion does not have much to envy to this 50mm even if it is a 55) the difference in weight and size was considerable but then you do the hand. Together with the 14 and 135 1.8 completes my kit for the night street allowing me to take dynamic photos (as far as possible) without the use of flash using the artificial lights of the city. Ultimately an excellent lens in general from all points of view, rating 9.9.

Pros: the top among the 50

Cons: weight and price.

Opinion: With him I finally concluded my triad 24-50-135. the 50 GM is in engineering masterpiece. In spite of the maximum aperture 1.2 has an extraordinary autofocus capable of tracking very fast subjects. optical performance is superb. definition, blurred, three-dimensionality and detachment of the planes are the best I have ever seen in a 50. no doing, no aberrations, no coma. the diaphragm ring on the optics is very comfortable. I would have preferred a less bulky hood, perhaps metallic as in the Sony A-mount professional lenses.

Pros: Pretty much everything

Cons: I would have preferred it lighter

Opinion: A lens that makes you fall in love and makes you want to photograph. Impeccably built like all GMs. It offers a really nice blur and the detachment of the planes is remarkable both at full aperture and at f2.8 and also at f4. The sharpness is extreme, even too much in my opinion. The contrast is incredible. The af system also works very well on machine bodies that lack speed and accuracy. Both vignetting and aberrations are very well controlled. Of course to build a 50mm f1.2 there are physical and dimensional proportions to be respected and therefore I am aware of the fact that Sony technicians have almost done a miracle in producing this GM smaller and lighter (even cheaper) than the competition. The fact remains that for those like me who love the mirrorless system for weights and dimensions, this 50mm f1.2 is a bit 'at the limit. Each of his images gives emotions. The bokeh that produces I really like and reminds me of that of the 85 GM but this 50mm is superior to the 85 in many other aspects. In my opinion, if you love the 50mm focal length then it is worth making the economic sacrifice that this 50mm entails. I think it's impossible not to fall in love with it. Highly recommended
