The Sharp & Smooth Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM

Amar Ramesh walks you through his vivid, colourful portraits photographed using the incredible Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM lens.

The 50mm lens is a staple for every photographer, especially those interested in portraiture. It is the irst lens that a photographer, who is starting out, adds to their camera kit. With Sony’s FE 50mm f/1.2 GM lens, it pushes what one can achieve on a prime lens to the next level. The f/1.2 aperture makes it an easy choice for portraitists by giving them the best bokeh as compared to any lens in the market. If you take a look at the photographs I made, only a few of them are posed portraits, while most of them have been frozen in action, in what was evidently a very low light situation. This, combined with the clarity of a G Master lens, fast autofocus and build quality, the lens instantly makes you feel like you’ve gotten yourself an upgrade. This is the best portrait lens for me right now... For its sharpness, the silky background it renders, for its lightweight quality and Sony’s lawless eye-autofocus feature.

Professional lot of use with Sony’s FE 50mm f/1.2 GM lens. It is a lens that pushes you to explore your creativity with its autofocus feature.
