Review Summary
2025-02-11T07:12:59
Image quality at F1.2 is not on par with high end lenses in the L-mount. Once stopped down to 1.8 or larger, the lens is satisfactory. The Image quality of this lens is more suited to videography, or social media content than it is print work. The aesthetic design of the lens is even more cluttered in person than it appears in images. This lens has text, branding and labels?everywhere. In Summary - this is a value lens with a faster aperture, and smaller size than other options

Pros: At f1.2 you get narrow DOF Noctilux-like images with crisp microcontrast and super creamy bokeh. At f1.4-f2.8 the images rival or easily better any 50mm f1.4, f2, or f2.8 prime (including Sigma's outstanding 50mm f1.4 II) At f4-f8 you'll have razor sharpness that would get Ansel Adams to weep. With Sony's latest mirrorless cameras the AF is lighting fast, VERY accurate and silent. Cons (sorta): Okay it's heavy. 2.9 lbs with the A7CR I bought with it and battery. That said, the grip that comes with the A7CR makes the lens far less unwieldy and VERY manageable. (Cradling the lens under the barrel helps.) Final thought: If you've ever lusted for a Leica M11 and a 50mm Noctilux save your money. The 61MP Sony A7CR + Sigma 50mm f1.2 delivers the same results with higher hits. (Of course if the Leica "experience" is what you lust for, then this review won't make any difference in your wish list now will it?)

Just received it a couple of hours ago and shot some test shots around the house and outside. The focus is super-fast and quiet and tack sharp. Shooting at 1.2 produces creamy bokeh. Tilting it up and down from level with the ground you can feel and hear a very slight rattle when the camera is off but it tightens up as soon as you power the camera on. I assume it's the new dual HLA focusing system. Overall, it's top notch.
