Sony FE 50mm f/1.4 GM Lens
The Sony FE 50 mm f/1.4 GM is a high-performance full-frame G Master prime lens for Sony E-mount. With a fast f/1.4 aperture, it delivers beautiful subject isolation and smooth, circular bokeh, making it ideal for portraits, low-light shooting, and creative storytelling. Its optical design includes two XA (Extreme Aspherical) elements and an ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) glass element to minimize aberrations and maximize sharpness, even wide open. The lens features Nano AR Coating II to suppress flare and ghosting, preserving contrast in challenging lighting.
Autofocus is driven by dual XD Linear Motors, giving fast, accurate, and quiet focusing along with an AF/MF switch for manual override. The internal focusing mechanism ensures that the lens does not change its length during focus, improving handling. The manual focus ring uses Linear Response MF for precise, repeatable control.
The lens also has an aperture ring with a de-click toggle and a lock switch, letting you choose between stepped and smooth aperture control — great for both still photography and video. Physically, it has a dust- and moisture-resistant build, and a fluorine-coated front element helps resist fingerprints, water, and smudges. Despite its sophistication, the lens is relatively compact and lightweight (about 516 g), making it a versatile and balanced choice for professional photographers.
