Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM Lens - Brand New review

The 50mm f/1.2 GM produces beautiful image quality and is ideal for a wide range of subjects, from portraits to street to astrophotography and everything in between. Sharpness, at even the widest aperture of f/1.2, is phenomenal, but the price tag is also out of this world.
Pros:
  • Stunning image quality, Super-fast f/1.2 maximum aperture, Fast and precise autofocus
Cons:
  • Expensive, Strong vignetting at f/1.2, As heavy as a camera body
