Breathtaking G Master quality right out to the image edges
Two high-precision XA (extreme aspherical) lens elements effectively correct distortion and most types of aberration. This new optical design also employs an ED (extra-low dispersion) glass element to suppress chromatic aberration. And with our original Nano AR Coating II on lens surfaces, internal reflections that can cause flare and ghosting are dramatically reduced.

What makes the FE 50mm F1.4 GM well-suited for portraits?
The 50mm focal length delivers a classic, natural perspective on full-frame cameras, and the F1.4 maximum aperture with an 11-blade circular diaphragm creates smooth, beautiful bokeh that isolates your subject. Together they produce sharp detail on the subject with pleasing background separation.
How sharp is the FE 50mm F1.4 GM?
Sony's latest lens technology delivers extraordinary resolution right out to the edges of the frame. Two high-precision XA (extreme aspherical) elements correct distortion and most aberrations, while an ED glass element suppresses chromatic aberration for breathtaking G Master image quality.
Does the FE 50mm F1.4 GM have fast autofocus?
Yes. The lens uses dual XD linear motors for fast, quiet, and precise autofocus, making it well-suited to eye-detection AF on Sony Alpha cameras where the thin depth of field at F1.4 demands accuracy.
Is the FE 50mm F1.4 GM compact and lightweight?
Yes. Despite its large F1.4 aperture, it is compact and lightweight for its class at about 516 g, with a 67 mm filter thread, making it easy to carry for everyday shooting and travel.
How close can the FE 50mm F1.4 GM focus?
It focuses down to 0.41 m in autofocus and 0.38 m in manual focus, with up to 0.16x AF magnification and 0.18x MF magnification. This is close enough for tight head-and-shoulder or detail shots while maintaining a flattering perspective.
Is the FE 50mm F1.4 GM weather-resistant?
Yes. It features dust and moisture-resistant construction along with a fluorine-coated front element that resists dust, fingerprints, oil, and water. Note that it is not guaranteed to be 100% dust and moisture proof.
What controls does the FE 50mm F1.4 GM offer?
The lens includes an aperture ring with a click/de-click function, an A position, an iris lock, and focus hold buttons, giving photographers and videographers smooth, flexible operability.
Can I use the FE 50mm F1.4 GM on APS-C E-mount cameras?
Yes. The lens is E-mount compatible, and on an APS-C body its 50mm focal length gives roughly a 75mm equivalent angle of view, another popular option for portraits. You can verify compatibility using Sony's camera-to-lens compatibility tool.
How does Nano AR Coating II improve image quality?
The original Nano AR Coating II on the lens surfaces dramatically reduces internal reflections that can cause flare and ghosting, helping maintain contrast and clarity in challenging lighting.
How much does the FE 50mm F1.4 GM cost?
MSRP is listed as $1,399.99. Given that, these models can go on sale from time to time, and there are several other opportunities to save on price like through their group discounts for education, healthcare and military/veterans (ID.me & Unidays) along with their free loyalty program that gives up to 5% back in points.
