Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM Lens (SONFE50F12GM) Overview
The Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM Lens is a flagship standard prime lens in Sony’s G Master lineup, designed for professional photographers and filmmakers who demand maximum optical performance. It delivers extreme sharpness, ultra-thin depth of field, and exceptional subject separation thanks to its ultra-bright f/1.2 aperture.
This lens is widely used in high-end portrait, wedding, and commercial photography where image quality, background blur, and low-light capability are critical. Despite its extremely wide aperture, Sony has engineered it to remain relatively compact and highly responsive for fast professional workflows.
Its 50mm focal length provides a natural perspective similar to human vision, making it one of the most versatile professional prime lenses available.

G Master resolution without compromise
The compact, lightweight FE 50mm F1.2 GM is an ideal choice for dedicated creators. XA (extreme aspherical) elements and other advanced technologies combine to achieve extraordinary resolution and contrast from the image center right out to the edges. Sony’s Nano AR Coating II subdues flare and ghosting, while a floating focus mechanism ensure optimum sharpness at any focusing distance.
Smooth, refined G Master bokeh
XA elements plus painstaking spherical aberration control at the design and manufacturing stages contribute to gorgeous G Master bokeh that can really make portrait and other subjects stand out, especially with the shallow depth of field available at the lens’s maximum F1.2 aperture. An 11-blade circular aperture mechanism contributes to beautifully circular bokeh.
Fast, precise, quiet AF and tracking
Fast, accurate focus is assured, even with extremely shallow 50mm F1.2 depth of field. Four XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors smoothly deliver high thrust to position the large, heavy focus groups for fast, accurate AF. Original Sony E-mount lens technology ensures that you get maximum performance from E-mount bodies, for both stills and movies.
Professional mobility
87 mm (3-1/2 in.) in diameter, 108 mm (4-3/8 in.) long, and weighing just 778 grams (27.5 oz.), the FE 50mm F1.2 GM complements compact, high-performance E-mount bodies to create a system that gives serious shooters the mobility and handling. Three XA elements and four XD Linear Motors in a large-aperture lens that is surprisingly compact offer extraordinary creative potential.
