If there is one lens in the Sony E-mount system that is designed to impress, it would have to be the 50mm f/1.2 GM.  But this lens is not without its faults, such as being on the larger and heavier side.  And although it's a showpiece lens, it additionally comes with a showpiece price point.  So, do you really need f1.2?

In this lens review, I'll discuss my experience owning and using the 50mm f/1.2 GM, covering all of the lens' main specifications and features.  Yet beyond this, I'll cover the various situations I use the lens for - whether on the photography side, and from a videography perspective as well. This includes evaluating real-world samples from portrait shoots, weddings, concerts, interviews, and more, while also evaluating the lens' various characteristics - from sharpness, to autofocus performance, bokeh, and more.  Last, I'll discuss price in comparison to some other popular 50mm offerings from Sony, and give my final take on the lens.

Overall, the 50mm f1.2 GM remains a shining example of the best that Sony can do with its prime lenses, and whether I truly needed f/1.2 or not, I have no regrets in picking up what is arguably Son'y best prime lens.
