Today Sony will announce the new 50mm f/1.2 GM lens (likely around 4 pm London time). And I just got the first real worls image on the lens. On top you see the Canon RF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens compared with the Sony. They are really close in size. I also have been told the Sony lens weights 778g which is much less than the Canon (950g).

• The filter size is 72mm
• close focus distance is 0,4m (1.32ft)
• Weight: 778g
• Price $2,198.
• Announcement on March 16

Stay tuned on SAR today!!!

Our reader Eric made this size comparison between the new Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM and other FE lenses. As you see the lens has basically the size of the Zeiss 50mm f/1.4 (it’s just a tiny bit wider and longer).

The specs according to our previous rumors are:

• The filter size is 72mm
• close focus distance is 0,4m (1.32ft)
• A bit shorter than the Sigma 50mm f/1.4
• Lighter than the Zeiss 50mm f/1.4
• I have been told the Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM will cost a bit less than the current Canon RF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens.
• Announcement on March 16

The product images of the upcoming Sony FE50mmF1.2 GM lens have now been leaked by nokishita. The specs according to our previous rumors are:

• The filter size is 72mm
• close focus distance is 0,4m (1.32ft)
• A bit shorter than the Sigma 50mm f/1.4

• I have been told the Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM will cost a bit less than the current Canon RF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens.

From the images here below you clearly can see this lens isn’t oversized. Feels like Sony has a winner here!

Confirmed, the countdown is for big savings only. Still, I know a tele lens is coming soon too! I will prove it soon to you ;)

This is the first leaked image showing you the Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM lens. The specs I got are:

• The filter size is 72mm
• close focus distance is 0,4m (1.32ft)
• A bit shorter than the Sigma 50mm f/1.4
• Lighter than the Zeiss 50mm f/1.4
• I have been told the Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM will cost a bit less than the current Canon RF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens.
• Announcement on March 16

This is a weird situation. I am 100% sure there is a new Tamron tele lens (with a 200mm Focal length…not sure if prime or zoom) coming soon. And I will soon post you something to prove it to you ;)

But one trusted sources keeps telling me the teaser is actually for a lens promotion only. So this is causing some confusion! So let’s be conservative and sum it up this way:

On Monday Tamron will definitely launch a new promotion. But there is also a new lens that might be announced only a short time after that (proof coming soon).

I have been told the Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM will cost a bit less than the current Canon RF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens.

The specs I got are:

• The filter size is 72mm
• close focus distance is 0,4m (1.32ft)
• A bit shorter than the Sigma 50mm f/1.4
• Lighter than the Zeiss 50mm f/1.4
• Announcement on March 16

Reminder: On March 23 Sony will announce more new E-mount lenses!

I saw the new lens and this is a rough size comparison. Not 100% accurate but 95% :)
