dreamy

It's a gorgeous lens with beautiful focus fall off if you're into the more dreamy, imperfect look. Works great for both portraiture and still life. I'm really happy with the purchase.

Great low light lens

So at F1.2 ISO 50 shutter speed1/8000 , at mid day no clouds no shadows you’re going to be overexposed a little . There will be some chromatic aberration. However there was nothing that Lightroom could not fix. And the pictures I did take In this environment, I was happy with . But I did not get the lens for this reason. I got the lens to take pictures in low light ,candle light , moon light and so on . it works really well for this, it has a dreamy look It’s is sharp with colors That make me happy all at f1.2 . The focus is very smooth and very easy to use . With the size of this lens ,The focus ring has enough size And feel .you’re not going to mistake it for the aperture ring. You can use one finger to move it .or you can grasp it with a thumb and finger for focus. With out having to look at it . The aperture ring has a different feel it’s a little thinner , and needs thumb and finger when in click mode . When in de-click mode it can be moved with a finger . This is a well made lens , it’s all metal lens and hood , The lens covers are plastic. And that’s all right by me .

NOKTON 50mm F1.2 Aspherical full frame Sony E-mount lens with Ample Bokeh and Excellent Handling for Sony E
The NOKTON 50mm F1.2 Aspherical E-mount is a high-speed manual focus lens optimized for the full frame imaging sensors of Sony mirrorless cameras.

50mm F1.2 standard lens could be called a special lens for photo enthusiasts. During the middle to late 20th century, when the maximum aperture of fast standard lenses was generally F2 or F1.4, a 50mm lens with F1.2 aperture was favored by professional photographers as a special fast lens. Because of this, even today many photo enthusiasts are still captured by the tradition and charm of this lens.

The NOKTON 50mm F1.2 Aspherical E-mount is a newly designed standard lens with today's technology for specifications that bring out the best in a high-speed standard lens. By using two out of eight elements, each with two aspherical surfaces, it realizes a compact size while having a large aperture. With this lens, you can enjoy comfortable handling well-balanced with camera body and gentle, ample bokeh.

This lens is a manual focus and manual aperture design, but also features electrical contacts that enable the lens settings at image capture to be included in the Exif information of the image data. Furthermore, the lens is installed with a distance encoder to enable support for 5-axis image stabilization on bodies with this feature, by providing distance to subject information used to compensate for camera shake. Focus peaking while manual focusing is also supported. The aperture ring has click stops in 1/3 steps. The lens also features a click stop switching mechanism that enables the click stops to be turned off when shooting video.
