This is the first G Master lens with a large aperture of f/1.2, a standard prime lens with a large aperture of f/1.2, a standard prime lens with a maximum aperture of f/1.2. Sony's latest optical and simulation technologies enable the incredible high resolution performance, breathtakingly beautiful bokeh effects, and high-performance AF performance you expect from G Master, all in a compact and lightweight design weighing approximately 778g. Whether shooting still images or video, you can capture a wide range of subjects with the rich expression you expect from G Master. Three extreme aspherical XA (XA) lenses deliver high resolution across the entire frame. The latest optical technology, including the use of three extreme aspherical XA (XA) lenses, whose surfaces are manufactured with precision down to 0.01 microns, delivers high resolution across the entire frame. The optimal placement of these three XA lenses also enables a compact, lightweight design despite the maximum aperture of f/1.2. The latest optical technology minimizes chromatic aberration, resulting in beautiful, natural-looking images. Optical technology employs the latest simulation technology to minimize chromatic aberration, resulting in beautiful, natural-looking images. This enables a high-quality post-shooting workflow. Nano AR Coating II delivers excellent backlight resistance and crystal-clear image quality. Nano AR Coating II significantly reduces flare and ghosting caused by internal reflections, even in scenes with strong light, such as sunlight, for crystal-clear image quality. Achieving a maximum aperture of f/1.2, a first for a G Master lens, in a compact and lightweight design. The latest optical design, including the use of three ultra-high aspherical XA (extreme aspherical) lenses, achieves a maximum aperture of f/1.2 in a compact and lightweight design weighing approximately 778g. Its portability makes it possible to capture a wide variety of subjects, both stills and video, with the beautiful bokeh effect you expect from a G Master lens. The 11-blade circular diaphragm, ultra-high aspherical XA (extreme aspherical) lenses, and spherical aberration control deliver the ethereal bokeh you expect from a G Master lens. The use of three ultra-high aspherical XA (extreme aspherical) lenses significantly reduces ring-shaped bokeh, and spherical aberration control in both design and manufacturing delivers the ethereal bokeh you expect from a G Master lens. The 11-blade circular diaphragm maintains a nearly circular shape from maximum aperture to slightly stopped-down apertures, enabling natural bokeh. It produces natural, soft bokeh that dramatically accentuates a wide range of subjects, including people.
High-quality close-up shooting capabilities with a minimum focusing distance of 0.4m and a maximum magnification of 0.17x. The minimum focusing distance of 0.4m and maximum magnification of 0.17x offer excellent close-up shooting capabilities. The wide range of focusing distances, combined with the f/1.2 maximum aperture, allows for a wide range of creative possibilities, whether capturing still images or video.
High-quality AF performance for both stills and video. Looking ahead to the future, the camera body's speed performance continues to evolve dramatically. Equipped with four XD Linear Motors, developed exclusively by Sony, this lens achieves even faster drive speeds, delivering high-speed, high-precision, high-tracking, and quiet AF, even with a large aperture lens. Even in scenes that require precise focusing, this lens maximizes the camera body's speed performance, allowing you to accurately capture and capture your subject, whether capturing stills or video.
High-quality operability is achieved with features such as a focus hold button, aperture ring, and click select switch. The focus hold buttons (located on the side and top) can be customized to assign your desired functions. For example, assigning grid lines when shooting landscapes allows you to quickly check your composition, making for a more comfortable shooting experience. The aperture ring allows for highly immediate operation. The click feature can be toggled on/off with a switch. When on, you can feel the aperture movement, making it convenient for still image shooting. When off, the aperture click sound is suppressed and aperture value changes are seamlessly controlled, making it ideal for video shooting. AF/MF switching is supported with a switch on the lens. This allows for instant switching without taking your eye off the viewfinder, making operation comfortable even while shooting. The lens employs Linear Response MF, which responds responsively to even delicate ring operation during manual focusing. Linear focus movement is achieved in response to the ring rotation angle, allowing for precise focusing that directly reflects the photographer's intentions. Features such as a fluorine coating and dust- and weather-resistant (*) ensure reliability for field work. The front lens element is coated with a fluorine coating, which makes the lens surface resistant to fingerprints, dust, water droplets, oil, and mud, and even if it does adhere, it can be easily removed. Furthermore, the dust- and splash-proof design ensures reliability even in harsh outdoor shooting environments. *Although the lens is dust- and splash-proof, it does not completely prevent dust and water from entering.
