FE 50mm f/1.2 GM

The Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM is the pinnacle of 50mm prime design — a true f/1.2 with near-flawless wide-open performance that simply wasn't achievable in the DSLR era. Tack-sharp from the centre to the corners wide open, with stunning bokeh that rivals medium format, and an 11-blade aperture that produces perfectly circular out-of-focus highlights. Remarkably compact for an f/1.2.
