We are drooling over the newly announced Sony 50mm f/1.4 G Master! With the high-resolution and spectacular bokeh features the G Master line is known for, this E-mount lens is a fantastic addition to the Sony lineup. The Sony 50mm prime lens is packed into a remarkably compact and lightweight design and is an ideal option for a wide variety of uses in both still and video including portraiture, landscapes, travel and weddings.

The Sony Artisan made the images below with the Sony 50mm f/1.4 GM and said, “There’s just something about the way a 50mm renders perspective similar to how the human eye sees. 50mm makes your photos feel alive, like you can reach in and touch the scene."

Charisma Lico - @charismalico

Charisma Lico is a fashion and commercial photographer based in the Philippines. We love the series of portraits in the post below. The Sony 50mm f/1.4 GM really helped capture the details. You can see the primary subject in each image, achieved through the shallow depth of field. Lico said that the incredible autofocusing on the lens made the shoot easy and fun. 

Kyrke Jaleco - @kyrkejaleco

Kyrke Jaleco is a travel filmmaker and director based in Manila. He gave the Sony 50mm f/1.4 GM a whirl with video footage and shared the list of reasons he became an instant fan. Here’s what he said: 
“1.  Lightweight and compact. Especially for a GM lens
2. It has the same 67mm filter thread with the existing 1.4 GM lenses. (24 and 35) One size fits all!
3. Iris lock. An important feature especially for run and gun shooting.
4. Custom buttons
5. Bokeh is close to having the 50mm 1.2! If you’re on a budget, the 1.4 could be considered instead. But in terms of low light shooting, the 1.2 still has a big advantage.”

Oliver Wallner - @o.w.photography

Oliver Wallner is a street photographer based in Austria. His photography often features a close object from the streets in focus in the foreground, with the blurred background telling as much, if not more, of the photo’s story. His photography features dark and moody tones as his signature style. We have loved seeing the work he’s sharing that he made with the Sony Alpha 7 IV and Sony 50mm f/1.4 GM.
