Description
Sony’s G Master lens technology delivers extraordinary resolution and bokeh in a compact, lightweight 50mm lens. With outstanding image-wide resolution and contrast from F1.4, this fast, responsive lens offers sharp realism for stills and movies that will satisfy users from advanced amateurs to the most discerning professionals.
Breathtaking G Master image quality right out to the edges of the frame
Two high-precision XA lens elements effectively correct distortion and aberration. This new optical design also employs an ED glass element to suppress chromatic aberration.
Innovative optics and a large F1.4 aperture deliver magnificent bokeh
Innovative optics and a large F1.4 maximum aperture combine to deliver magnificent bokeh. Smooth, naturally defocused background and foreground bokeh are ideal for making portrait subjects stand out from their surroundings.
Highly mobile, lightweight and compact lens with incredible performance
Precisely positioned XA elements, high-thrust XD linear motors and the latest compact aperture unit create large-aperture high-resolution lens that is only 3.17” in diameter and 3.78” in length, weighing just 18.23 oz.
Fast, precise, quiet AF and tracking for stills and movies
The focus system is driven by high-thrust XD linear motors and an advanced control algorithm for smooth, responsive focus drive. Movie subjects are smoothly captured and tracked even when shooting at 120 fps or other high frame rates.
Circular aperture with 11-blade iris for naturally rendered bokeh
The deep, soft bokeh available with full-frame image sensors is further enhanced by a 11-blade circular aperture and optimally controlled spherical aberration. All of this supports the creation of impressive, memorable imagery.
Excellent close-up performance and magnification for eye-opening detail
Minimum focusing distance is 16.1” (41 cm) and maximum magnification is 0.16x when AF is used and 15” (38 cm and 0.18x) for MF, providing extra flexibility for shooting stills and movies.
ED glass element minimizes chromatic aberration for precisely rendered edge detail
An ED glass element significantly reducing flare and ghosting by taking axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration out of the picture.
Circular aperture with 9-blade iris for naturally rendered bokeh
The deep, soft bokeh available with full-frame image sensors is further enhanced by a 9-blade circular aperture and optimally tuned spherical aberration. All of this supports the creation of impressive, memorable imagery.
Nano AR Coating II for outstanding clarity and minimized flare and ghosting
Nano AR Coating II process produces a thin, uniform coating on lens surfaces, dramatically reducing internal reflections that can cause flare and ghosting.
Dedicated aperture ring, click/de-click and iris lock switches
An aperture ring provides direct, rapid control. The aperture ring click stops can be turned ON to provide tactile feedback when shooting stills, or OFF for smooth, silent control when shooting movies.
Natural, linear manual focus response
Linear Response MF ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to subtle control. Focus ring rotation translates directly to a corresponding change in focus, control feels immediate and precise enough for rack focus effects when shooting movies.
Fluorine front element coating
The front lens element features a fluorine coating that repels water, oil, and other contaminants, while making it easier to wipe off any contaminants or fingerprints that do become attached to the lens surface.
Dust and moisture resistant design* for reliability in challenging conditions
An updated dust and moisture resistant design* provides extra reliability for outdoor use in challenging conditions.
*Not guaranteed to be 100% dust and moisture proof.
