character for days
Style: SEL50F12GM
This lens is amazing. Super sharp even at f1.2 with really nice bokeh that looks smooth and natural. The images have great character while still being clean, not overly clinical. Autofocus is fast and reliable, and the build feels solid. I’ve even used it in rain and the weather sealing held up great. Pricey, but definitely worth it if you want top quality.

Worth every dollar.
Style: SEL50F12GM
I have owned this lens for two years and can honestly say its the best addition to my photography kit to date. Look, at the end of the day, if you are seriously considering dropping 2 grand on a lens, you shouldn't be questioning if its worth it or not, because it is. I think you have to question whether or not you have the need for it. This lens is like comparing a Sony A7iii to a disposable fujifilm camera. It's heavy, but you kind of get why (lots of glass, excellent build quality). It's crazy fast with a crazy good f stop, what's not to love about it? If you're just shooting rando shots here and there its nice to have, but I don't think you 'need' it making it an unnecessary luxury. If you're a professional however, this should 100% be in the bag, if not, just shoot all the time with it. Buy another A7iii or A7iv just to keep this lens on it. It's so damn good. It still shocks me just how good both photos and video look with this lens.

"Outstanding" doesn't do this lens justice
Style: SEL50F12GM
To call this lens outstanding is to do it a disservice. I have been in the Sony E full-frame ecosystem since the first A7 and have several of the G-Master lens, including the 24-70 and 100-400. I also gave other G lenses, primes and Zeiss zooms. This 50mm exceeds all expectations. It rarely misses focus when f/1.2, which is astounding all by itself. But the time it takes to find focus is nearly instant. The bokeh is surprisingly creamy for such a large aperture and it's not particularly heavy or large. I didn't think I needed f/1.2, maybe f/1.4 but probably f/1.8 would be fine. I don't feel that way anymore. This thing sucks light up like a vacuum and it is the undisputed indoor champion. Images that required 12,800 ISO and barely usable, are crisp and beautiful at ISO 400 with this lens - and that's in a poorly lit room with subjects moving about. It takes your images to the next level. Expensive? Yes, but there are few tools you can add to your setup that are more impactful than this one.

Wow
Style: SEL50F12GM
An f/1.2 50mm prime lens. You really do pay for that extra f-stop but wow what a lens! These G Master lenses are so good on Sony full frame cameras that you just can’t fault them for their price. Manual focus (obviously) AND autofocus. Did I mention f/1.2? This lens is heavy! There’s a lot of glass in there! But you get what you pay for and this is quality, quality, quality. I’m an amateur photographer but I know a guy who is a professional photographer. His Sony Alpha camera is better than my camera (I have an a7iv) but he swears by this lens, so much so that I just couldn’t help but get it. The way I see it, instead of getting an “okay” cheaper lens and dealing with all the drawbacks of an inferior lens - including from Sony - it’s better to just pay up and get the best lens. I’m sure I’ll be using it for years and years to come even as I upgrade to new cameras in the future (not anytime soon). Good glass will always be good glass and I am confident that a lens like this, if taken care of, will always fetch a good price on the second-hand market. But I won’t be parting with it. As usual with Sony G Master lenses it comes with a fantastic lens case and carry strap. I also like the Sony e-mount and the fact that it’s possible to use these lenses on a variety of Sony cameras.

Best 50mm I have ever used
Style: SEL50F12GM
I was quite happy with my Planar 1.4, but I dropped it. I'm not going to bore you with specs and such. There are a million videos out there for that. I will just tell you, photographer to photographer, that this is one of the most impressive lenses I have ever used. My Planar was sharp and AF was pretty fast. But this lens beats the Planar in every single aspect. Ultimately, for most people, photo quality would be viewed as similar unless you are using particular gear and appropriate viewing stations. For me, the big gain is AF speed. I never like using my 85mm GM because the AF speed pretty much sucks. This lens is lightning fast. The bonus is the extra bit of light gathering at 1.2. I shoot mostly lowlight venues. Every bit of help is greatly appreciated. I basically go in armed with this 50mm 1.2 GM and my 135 1.8 GM hanging at my hips. I go in knowing I have the best gear for the job. Do not hesitate in buying this lens. I will add that I am one of those people that despise 35mm but love 50mm. It's hard to explain, but I know I am not alone in this. I will not be paying for the 35mm GM becaue I would hardly use it.

Just Get It. This is a beast of a lens and a must.
Style: SEL50F12GM
This lens literally feels like cheating. At 1.2 there is absolutely no reason for this to be so incredibly sharp, it’s literal magic. I have this lens and the 35 mm g master 1.4. I wanted both because I shoot only with primes and these focal lengths are always compared. Usually the 35mm is the go to focal length for most shooters. As a point of reference, I am shooting professionally, and I am def someone who likes the 35mm focal length feel more because it gives that flexibility for room to work with, but the image quality and autofocus on this 50mm is just so damn good it makes this lens my go to in 90% situations. I will only switch to my 35mm when I don’t have enough room to work. When comparing photos I’m always slightly disappointed at how soft the 35mm focus feels on all aperture comparisons after having this beast.
