But while the new 50 1.4 GM is a triumph, it faces stiff competition from Sigma’s 50mm f1.4 DG DN Art, launched only a couple of weeks earlier at a comfortably lower price. Sure you miss out on f1.2 bragging rights, but I’d prefer to brag about the cost saving, not to mention the smaller and lighter barrel, and I defy anyone to look at a portrait from the new lens and criticise it for not being sharp enough or having a sufficiently blurred background. Personally I much prefer the new 50 1.4 GM to the old Zeiss 50 1.4, and wouldn’t feel the need to stretch further to the 1.2 model.
Like many Sony lenses, the only real issue is substantial focus breathing, but this may not be an issue for you, plus the more recent bodies offer effective digital correction for it if you desire. In my tests I was reminded of the 1.2 G Master with the new 1.4 version delivering similar razor-sharp details and attractive rendering, not to mention fast and accurate focusing and decent build quality. The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.Summary The Sony 50mm f1.4 G Master is a welcome addition to the system, slotting roughly between entry-level and high-end models in price, but with minimal compromise. If the file has been modified from its original state, some details such as the timestamp may not fully reflect those of the original file. This file contains additional information such as Exif metadata which may have been added by the digital camera, scanner, or software program used to create or digitize it.
