The stunning high resolution and bokeh you expect from G Master are realized in an unprecedentedly compact and lightweight design. The FE 50mm F1.4 GM is a large-aperture, standard prime lens with an F1.4 maximum aperture that generously incorporates Sony's latest technology. It delivers the stunning high resolution and beautiful bokeh you expect from G Master, as well as excellent AF performance, all in a compact and lightweight design weighing approximately 516g. It also supports focus breathing suppression and active mode, satisfying the artist's demanding needs in a wide range of scenes, from stills to video. Even at an F1.4 aperture, the lens delivers stunning high resolution and beautiful bokeh. From an F1.4 aperture, the lens delivers sharp, high-resolution images of a variety of subjects with exceptional contrast, satisfying the needs of a wide range of users, from professionals to amateurs. The strategic placement of two Sony-original, ultra-high-performance XA (extreme aspherical) lens elements, which require highly precise manufacturing control, effectively corrects field curvature and various aberrations, delivering high-resolution images from the center to the edges of the frame. Additionally, a new optical design with an optimally positioned ED (extra-low dispersion) glass element suppresses chromatic aberrations and color bleeding, capturing sharp subjects. Nano AR Coating II for Clear Images, Even in Backlit Conditions: Nano AR Coating II enables the application of a uniform coating to the surface of large-diameter, high-curvature aspherical lens elements, a feat not possible with conventional coatings. This coating significantly reduces ghosting and flare caused by internal reflections, delivering crisp, clear images even in backlit conditions, including sunlight and other strong light sources. Beautiful bokeh unique to the G Master. The large bokeh, a feature of the f/1.4 maximum aperture, creates beautiful foreground and background bokeh in portraits and other situations, making the subject stand out with a three-dimensional depiction. The lens also pays particular attention to bokeh quality, employing an XA lens that suppresses ring-shaped bokeh. In addition, design and manufacturing innovations have been refined to achieve ideal spherical aberration, minimizing color bleeding that can occur in bokeh. It also features an 11-blade circular diaphragm. Excellent imaging performance in close-up photography: a minimum focusing distance of 0.41m (AF) / 0.38m (MF) and a maximum magnification of 0.16x (AF) / 0.18x (MF). Even in close-up photography, the latest optical design, including the XA lens, ensures sharp images across the entire frame, while the shallow f/1.4 depth of field produces large, smooth bokeh. Excellent imaging performance in close-up photography accentuates the photographer's expression, whether capturing stills or video. Weighing just 516g, this large-aperture 50mm prime lens offers exceptional portability for everyday use. Employing Sony's latest optical design, it achieves a compact, lightweight design without compromising optical performance. The adoption of XA lens elements, optimized optical element placement, the utilization of a high-precision, high-thrust XD linear motor, and the latest small-diameter circular aperture deliver high resolution and a large-aperture prime lens in a compact, lightweight 80.6 x 96mm body measuring just 516g. Compared to the Planar T* FE 50mm F1.4 ZA, it also boasts approximately 33% less weight and 15% less volume. This highly portable lens meets a wide range of needs, from professionals to amateurs, for portraits, snapshots, low-light photography, and videography with gimbals or drones, regardless of subject or scene. Its size complements the compact α body, making it a compact and lightweight system. Enjoy agile and comfortable shooting in a variety of scenes, whether shooting video or still images. Take advantage of its portability and take it with you wherever you go, even when mobility is required for outdoor shooting. Its compact and lightweight design makes it easy to switch between portrait and landscape orientations, and between high and low positions. It also features an internal focusing system, which keeps the overall lens length constant even when focusing. This makes it ideal for close-up shots or video recording in tight spaces, broadening the scope of expression. Furthermore, when shooting video using a gimbal, the compact and lightweight FE 50mm F1.4 GM is easy to balance and minimizes center of gravity movement, ensuring comfortable shooting. High-speed, high-precision, high-tracking, and quiet AF performance optimized for both still images and video. Equipped with two proprietary Sony XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors with high thrust efficiency and an advanced lens control algorithm with excellent response, it delivers smooth and responsive AF. Compared to the Planar T* FE 50mm F1.4 ZA lens with a ring drive SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor), this lens boasts 1.9x faster AF speed. As a genuine Sony lens, it maximizes the camera's speed performance. Its high-speed, high-precision, and highly responsive AF drive quickly and accurately captures subjects even with the shallow F1.4 depth of field, ensuring you never miss a split-second shot. Video performance delivers high-quality images. Even in slow-motion and 4K/8K high-definition video, where precise focusing is required, the lens works in tandem with the α body to accurately capture moving subjects and smoothly track them with precision. Furthermore, the advanced control of two high-thrust XD linear motors ensures high-precision AF without compromising the compact and lightweight design. This allows you to leave the focusing to the camera, even in situations where you're shooting solo. Furthermore, the lens's quiet operation during video recording was thoroughly pursued, and the XD linear motors minimize operational noise and vibration during video recording, enabling the smooth expression required for video. In addition, this lens is compatible with the α series' "breathing compensation function," which further suppresses breathing during focusing, supporting high-quality image expression.
