Shooting wide open with an f/1.2 lens can be tricky. At that aperture size, depth of field decreases dramatically to create a barely discernable band of focus – meaning any headshot taken with such an aperture will reveal blurry eyelashes unless your subject’s eye is in focus – making focus tracking even harder with mirrorless cameras like Canon and Nikon’s full-frame mirrorless camera platforms – so the 50mm f/1.2 has become a staple on their respective full-frame mirrorless platforms; now Sony have joined this exclusive club by providing outstanding image quality within compact packaging!
Assuming you know your subject well enough, wide open shooting with an f/1.2 lens is often challenging. At an aperture this large, your depth of field shrinks quickly into an almost absurdly narrow band of focus; when taking headshots with mirrorless cameras like Canon or Nikon full frame mirrorless platforms with their 50mm f/1.2 lenses can become tricky; on Sony full-frame mirrorless platforms it has become one of the staples to deliver outstanding image quality in a relatively compact package. Mirrorless cameras excel when it comes to focus tracking – so mirrorless camera owners have come to depend upon this 50mm f/1.2 for accurate focus tracking capabilities when taking loose headshots of subjects’ eyes into focus while shooting loose headshots will result in blurry eyelash tips being in focus and eyelashes becoming blurry due to mirrorless focus tracking capabilities compared to DSLR lenses which do not track focus as easily! Nailing that focus can be tricky but mirrorless cameras excel when it comes to focus tracking abilities of full frame mirrorless platforms from both Canon and Nikon in particular make using 50mm f/1.2 lenses provide exceptional image quality in relatively compact size for mirrorless cameras! Sony now joins them both and delivers truly exceptional image quality from compact packages!
