Stunning lens that comes at a price
Having wanted this lens for sometime I finally Managed to raise the funds to buy it. It doesn’t disappoint, to me the 50mm focal length is the centre of my lens collection and to have F1.2 makes it even better. Yes it’s a bit larger and heavier but not by much. If you can afford the price then get it you won’t be disappointed

This lens is not only incredibly sharp, almost flawless, but also blazing fast auto focus on the Sony A1. If I could only choose one lens, this would be it!
The lens is about the same size as the 85mm GM, but much sharpar wide open.

Fast, sharp 50.
I've had this lens for about 5 months now, and taken over 2k pictures with it. I'm consistently happy with the results that I get, no matter what I am shooting. The image is always edge to edge perfect with no abortions, and beautiful bokeh. This lens has quickly become a favourite, and invariably packed as part of my kit for most trips.

Super sharp
I’m incredibly impressed by how well this lens focuses in low light, even wide open it’s super sharp. Well worth the money.

Owning the zeiss 55 F1.8 I was spoiled with sharpness but this 50 just has that extra umph to the rendering. Colors pop and focus is blazing fast! if you have the zeiss 55 I would highly recommend this as an upgrade

Dead on Arrival
Just picked up my FE 50mm f1.2 GM lens last night. Popped it on my A7RIII as soon as I got home. The AF hunts around for 2-3 seconds and then gives up. When set for single-focus, it does this every time I press the back-button-focus button. Clearly, this copy is not ready for prime-time. I will be returning it for a refund or exchange. Unfortunately, the exchange could take many weeks and I'm not sure if I want to see if the next copy will work or not.

Definitely Sharpest & Brightest GM Lens Available
I have Sony A1 and all my lenses are GM lenses. I have 3 zoom lenses and 2 prime lenses other than this 50mm 1.2 GM. I was very hesitant about getting this lens because I already had 24mm 1.4 GM and 35mm 1.4 GM. I was actually waiting for 85mm GM II to come out but my Sony points were about to expire so I used the points to get the cash vouchers. With the release of recent 50mm 1.4 GM, I had a choice of that versus 50mm 1.2 GM. I contemplated a lot but with the promotional discount plus cash vouchers on 50mm 1.2 GM, both 50mm GM lenses were about the same price. Of course I could also have used the cash voucher on the new 50mm 1.4 GM lens but I didn’t want to have lingering thought about what it would be like to take pictures with FE 1.2 down the road. In the end I decided to go with 50mm 1.2 GM lens and oh boy I’m glad that I did. I initially thought there won’t be much difference between this lens and my 24mm as well as 35mm GM lenses because I didn’t think half a stop of light would make significant difference but I’m completely blown away. This 50mm 1.2 GM lens is so much sharper and brighter especially in indoor setting. I mostly take pictures of my children playing around in the house during evening hours with warm lights. Often times, these are very challenging for many cameras but my A1 with any of the 1.4 GM lenses do a great job. However, this 50mm 1.2 GM is definitely a notch above my other GM prime lenses I have mentioned. Pictures are so much sharper and background is definitely even more creamier with FE1.2. Yes this lens is much bigger than the new 50mm 1.4 GM or my other 1.4 GM prime lenses but it definitely excels in performance. What most people don’t realize is that 4 linear motors for autofocus in this 1.2 GM make a huge difference compared to what 1.4 GM with 2 linear motors can do in the indoor environment I described earlier. Unless I absolutely need a wider focal length, this 50mm 1.2 GM is the go to lens for my A1 since the purchase. I would love to see 85mm 1.2 GM from Sony with equal size and weight as this 50mm 1.2 GM. I don’t really need to have more prime lenses now that I have this 50mm 1.2 GM but 85mm 1.2 GM will definitely find a place in my bag if it were to come out.

Ultimate 50mm lens
This product has outstanding optical quality and provides fast and precise autofocus. Despite its impressive capabilities, it maintains a compact size comparable to an F1.4 prime lens. It also offers protection against dust, splashes, and fluorine damage. Additionally, it features a silent aperture control mechanism and includes dual function buttons for added convenience.

Exceptional lens
This lens is exceptional, fast accurate AF, renders beautifully, and is really well built. It's not the lightest or smallest lens, but it is pretty small and light for a lens of this type. The only negative point for me is the optical vignetting causing cat eye bokeh at the edges when shot wide open and I do have another lens that performs better in this area, but this is just preference and a minor point.

Sony 50mm 1 2 GM
Finally decided to purchase the Sony 50mm 1.2 lens. One word Wow, the build quality is second to none and build as good as my other gm glass. I purchased the nifty 50 as I felt my 24-70 2.8 gm mk2 was making me a bit of a lazy photographer lol. This lens is epic and the quality it produces with my A7Rv is phenominal. The quality of Bokah when shooting wide open brings a new perspective of photos opportunities, which totally transforms our art and creates a different perspective on images we create. I am loving this lens and its attached to my camera nearly all the time it's heavier than the norm but hey if you want the best it's not a downside. I can carry this lens all day long without really noticing it. If you want the best 50mm period I urge you to buy it, your photography will take on a new dimension. I simply love it.

Solid build and the best lens I've ever handled.
I loved this lens and thought it was so fun to use. I shoot a lot of portraits at night, so the 1.2 aperture helped a lot. Howerver, the lens was heavy and I couldn't justify keeping it in my collection at the price point, being that I don't shoot at 50mm often. I would love to buy this lens again if I ever began shooting more at 50mm:) It was absolutely perfect.

This is an amazing lens for portraits, especially at weddings.
The bokeh wide open is phenomenal. Only thing I don’t like is the amount of dust behind the first element. Though they don’t show in images, even when closed down, it’s frustrating to see them, especially a larger piece in the middle ???????
