Sony’s 17th G Master Lens – the FE 50mm F1.4 G Master Prime for Limitless Expressions
• State-of-the-art technology packs incredible performance into a high-resolution large aperture 50mm prime lens
• A versatile F1.4 prime lens with flexible mobility and well-controlled low-light performance, it is an ideal choice for everything from Portraits, Street and Travels.
• AF performance is as much as 1.9x faster* with extraordinary precision when shooting both stills and movies
• A great match for compact Alpha camera bodies for an overall compact, lightweight system.
o Weighing just 516g in a compact design (80.6mm x 96.0mm) – 33% lighter and 15% less volume*
o Easily adaptable shooting in a wide variety of professional and advanced amateur situations when mounted on a gimbal or drone for flexible shooting due to its small size
*Compared to SEL50F14Z
Outstanding High Resolution that lives up to G Master brand
• Two XA (extreme aspherical) elements manufactured to extremely high precision effectively correcting filed curvature and most types of aberration so that high resolution is achieved right out to the image edges.
• ED (extra-low dispersion) glass element to suppress chromatic aberration so that images are clear and sharp without color bleeding.
• Nano AR Coating II dramatically reducing internal reflections that causes flare and ghosting.
• Excellent close-up performance is achieved with XA (extreme aspherical) lens elements to maintain sharpness at any focusing distance.
o Minimum focusing distance at only 0.41m and maximum magnification is 0.16x when Autofocus is used
o Minimum focusing distance is at 0.38m and maximum magnification is 0.18x when Manual focus is used)
o This level of close-up performance provides extra flexibility whether shooting stills or movies.
Natural gorgeous bokeh at F1.4 in a compact, lightweight 50mm prime lens
• High bokeh quality with XA (extreme aspherical) elements effectively produces deep, creamy background and foreground bokeh at maximum F1.4.
• An 11-blade circular aperture produces beautiful bokeh and smooth defocusing which is ideal for making Portrait and Street subjects stand out from their surroundings
Blazing Fast AutoFocus and precise tracking for reliable performance
• The SEL50F14GM maximizes the speed potential of all Alpha series bodies, quickly acquiring focus on subjects even at F1.4
• Driven by 2 high-thrust XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors and an advanced control algorithm for smooth, responsive focus drive that brings out the full performance of E-mount bodies ensuring that the highest possible resolution is always achieved.
• Focusing is precise and vibration is minimized for refined, quiet AF operation that gives a huge advantage when shooting movies.
• Movie subjects are smoothly captured and tracked even when shooting at 120fps or other high frame rates. The ability to leave focusing to the camera when shooting solo or with a small team can dramatically enhance efficiency and creative flexibility.
• Angle-of-view variations and other unwanted artifacts are minimized for smooth, stable movie imagery.
• The breathing compensation function provided in compatible α series bodies*1 is also supported.
