Beautiful Lens — Sharp, Fast, and Perfect for Port
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beautiful lens, couldn’t ask for more. The Sony 50mm f/1.4 GM delivers amazing sharpness, smooth bokeh, and lightning-fast autofocus. Colors are rich and natural, and it performs flawlessly even in low light. It’s compact compared to other fast primes, which makes it great for both photo and video work. Easily one of the best 50mm lenses Sony has ever made.

Compared my 50 1.2gm to this 1.4gm
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is perfect. I have a 50 1.2 gm and although its good, the weight and price doesn’t justify. Even though i was the richest person, 1.2gm is not practical to carry around for long events like travel, sports, landscapes, etc. I would only use it for paid gigs or portraits. As far as sharpness, I couldnt tell the difference unless I zoomed in a 100%. Yes, 1.2 has better bokeh but just slightly. The 1.4 is definitely worth it. Unless, the 1.2gm had a mk 2 version and was rhe same size as the 1.4, I would consider it except for the fact that it would be almost twice the price.

Amazing Lens
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Leaving this review for those who's on the fence between FE 50mm F1.2 vs F1.4. It's a great lens, lighter, more affordable and practical. While I use it mostly for portrait photography, others could find it an awesome fit for videography with extra ergonomics provided. My personal take: if you are not shooting in F1.2 most of the time (99%), F1.4 is just common sense. I couldn't find one-to-one detailed tech comparison from dxomark but otherwise subjectively lens performs as good as other Sony prime lenses that I own. Shooting with Sony a7rV.

My favorite lens.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was hesitant to buy a prime Gmaster as I’ve just been using zooms for a few years. Hasn’t left my camera body since I bought it. Hands down my favorite lens I’ve ever owned. Sharp, fast, accurate autofocus, amazing bokeh.

Beautiful images
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens was a surprise release by Sony, I was contemplating purchasing the f1.2, but then this came out. Lighter, smaller form factor, super sharp, fast accurate focus. This is a no brainer if you are in the 50mm market. I had the Zeiss offering and sold it once I bought this one, pairs so well with 35mm and 24mm gm’s.

Amazing lens for EVERYTHING. Videos/pics night/day
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Lens is everything you need. It does not matter whatever content you are creating. Rather you are a videographer or a photographer, this lens can do it all. It handles nighttime and day time with ease. I was on the fence about purchasing due to the hefty price, i was not disappointed. The only reason for the 4 starts and not the 5 stars is because of the price. Anyway, if you got the money, this is the lens to purchase.
