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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInnovative optics and a large F1.4 aperture deliver magnificent bokeh\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInnovative optics and a large F1.4 maximum aperture combine to deliver magnificent bokeh. Smooth, naturally defocused background and foreground bokeh are ideal for making portrait subjects stand out from their surroundings. Advanced features that contribute to superb bokeh quality include XA (extreme aspherical) elements that reduce onion-ring bokeh and carefully controlled spherical aberration during design and manufacture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighly mobile, lightweight, and compact lens with incredible performance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXA (extreme aspherical) elements precisely positioned in an innovative design, high-thrust XD linear motors, and the latest compact circular aperture unit work together in a large-aperture high-resolution lens that is only 3.17” (80.6 mm) in outer diameter and 3.78” (96.0 mm) in length while weighing just 18.23 oz (516 grams). A unique blend of mobility and low-light performance makes it an ideal choice for a wide variety of photo and video uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFast, precise, quiet AF and tracking for stills and movies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lens’s focus group is driven by high-thrust XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors and an advanced control algorithm for a smooth, responsive focus drive. Noise and vibration are minimized for refined, quiet AF operation which can be a huge advantage when shooting movies. Movie subjects are smoothly captured and tracked even when shooting at 120 fps or other high frame rates. The breathing compensation function in compatible α series cameras is also supported\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCircular aperture with 11-blade iris for naturally rendered bokeh\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep, soft bokeh available with full-frame image sensors is further enhanced by an 11-blade circular aperture and optimally controlled spherical aberration.

XA (extreme aspherical) lens elements maintain sharpness at any focusing distance, while smooth, deep bokeh at F1.4 separates the subject from the background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eED glass element minimizes chromatic aberration for precisely rendered edge detail\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element significantly reduces flare and ghosting by taking axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration (due to differences in magnification) out of the picture. Resolution and bokeh are maximized while leaving precisely rendered edges without fringing or unnatural coloration right out to the image edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNano AR Coating II for outstanding clarity and minimized flare and ghosting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSony’s original Nano AR Coating II process produces a thin, uniform coating on lens surfaces, dramatically reducing internal reflections that can cause flare and ghosting.

The aperture ring click stops can be turned ON to provide tactile feedback when shooting stills, or OFF for smooth, silent control when shooting movies. There is also an iris lock switch that prevents the aperture ring from being accidentally moved between the [A] and F1.4 ~ F16 settings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCustomizable focus hold buttons\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo customizable focus hold buttons are provided for easy access and control at most any orientation.

Focus ring rotation translates directly to a corresponding change in focus, so control feels immediate and precise enough for rack focus effects when shooting movies. This feature also works effectively with the AF Assist function in the latest alpha cameras, giving creators enhanced artistic control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstant auto\/manual focus selection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstantly switch between auto and manual focus via an AF\/MF switch on the side of the lens.

Thanks to its internal focus system the front element does not rotate while focusing, facilitating the use of circular polarizing filters for landscape photography or variable ND filters for movies. The FE 24mm F1.4 GM and FE 35mm F1.4 GM lenses are also threaded for 67 mm filters, so filters can be shared.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRound-shaped, bayonet mount lens hood\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRound-shaped, bayonet mount lens hood ALC-SH173 is supplied, and also available separately as an optional accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat our Experts Think\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"27\" data-end=\"303\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"29\" data-end=\"303\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"29\" data-end=\"58\"\u003ePro‑Level Standard Prime:\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003cstrong data-start=\"63\" data-end=\"97\"\u003eSony FE 50mm F1.4 GM – 1371947\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of Sony’s standout \u003cstrong data-start=\"124\" data-end=\"152\"\u003eG Master standard primes\u003c\/strong\u003e, offering \u003cstrong data-start=\"163\" data-end=\"225\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eexceptional image quality, sharpness, and creative control\u003c\/strong\u003e in a classic, versatile focal length. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"304\" data-end=\"567\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"306\" data-end=\"567\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"306\" data-end=\"332\"\u003eBright f\/1.4 Aperture:\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003cstrong data-start=\"337\" data-end=\"368\"\u003ewide f\/1.4 maximum aperture\u003c\/strong\u003e excels in \u003cstrong data-start=\"379\" data-end=\"403\"\u003elow‑light conditions\u003c\/strong\u003e and delivers \u003cstrong data-start=\"417\" data-end=\"441\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003ecreamy, smooth bokeh\u003c\/strong\u003e that beautifully isolates subjects from backgrounds for portraits and artistic shots. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"568\" data-end=\"806\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"570\" data-end=\"806\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"570\" data-end=\"602\"\u003eAdvanced Optics for Clarity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual \u003cstrong data-start=\"608\" data-end=\"644\"\u003eXA (extreme aspherical) elements\u003c\/strong\u003e and an \u003cstrong data-start=\"652\" data-end=\"672\"\u003eED glass element\u003c\/strong\u003e help suppress aberrations and maintain \u003cstrong data-start=\"712\" data-end=\"748\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003ehigh resolution across the frame\u003c\/strong\u003e — even wide open. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"807\" data-end=\"1031\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"809\" data-end=\"1031\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"809\" data-end=\"835\"\u003eFast, Quiet Autofocus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Equipped with \u003cstrong data-start=\"850\" data-end=\"874\"\u003etwo XD Linear Motors\u003c\/strong\u003e, this lens delivers \u003cstrong data-start=\"895\" data-end=\"927\"\u003equick, precise, and quiet AF\u003c\/strong\u003e performance optimized for both still photography and video use. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1032\" data-end=\"1267\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1034\" data-end=\"1267\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1034\" data-end=\"1073\"\u003eBeautiful Bokeh \u0026amp;
