Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 G Master

BEST PRIME LENS STANDARD, TIPA WORLD AWARDS 2021. “Simply put, this Sony G Master lens is fast. Its f/1.2 aperture combines

with an 11-blade diaphragm for truly gorgeous bokeh for portraiture and nature photography. But as impressive as that is, that light-gathering ability is coupled with an advanced optical design that delivers a high degree of sharpness and clarity. The inclusion of three XA (eXtreme Aspherical) elements corrects – and virtually eliminates – a number of optical aberrations, colour fringing and distortion. Each element has Sony’s Nano AR II multi-coating to suppress are and ghosting. The lens’ XD (eXtreme Dynamic) Linear Motor system uses four drives for quiet, quick and precise autofocusing that bene ts both still and video. For the latter, the aperture ring can be ‘de-clicked’ for smooth and seamless aperture changes during recording.”
