Among them, FE 50mm f/1.2 GM and FE 35mm f/1.4 GM have been launched, so the more popular design should be the 80mm f/1.2.

Sony has recently applied for patent registration for several lens designs, including 50mm f/1.4, 60mm f/1.2, 80mm f/1.2, 35mm f/1.4 and 50mm f/1.2. However, judging from the exposed patents, the optical designs of these lenses are very similar. The front-end glass is concave lens . The number of lenses and the number of mirror groups are the same. Even the arrangement of the mirror groups is similar, which seems to be from the same design blueprint.

Among them, FE 50mm f/1.2 GM and FE 35mm f/1.4 GM have been launched, so the more popular design should be the 80mm f/1.2. And there have been reports that it is expected that Sony will launch an 85mm f/1.2 G Master lens next year. However, you may ask, why did the 80mm design "become" 85mm? In fact, most of these registered public designs will not be truly productized. The previous rumors are not believed to be the 80mm focal length lens in the design patent this time. However, since the relevant parties have designed an f/1.2 large aperture lens with such a similar focal length, Sony is estimated to have the intention to launch an 85mm f/1.2. In fact, the FE 50mm f/1.2 GM has also confirmed that Sony is not willing to be with his future generations in lens specifications.

. The current Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM is the earliest G master lens. The two large three-way lenses of the same period have also launched the second generation of products. It is not surprising that Sony will launch another new model that is stronger for the 85mm focal length, which is enough to compare with its competitors. But the current FE 85mm f/1.4 GM price is very attractive. If the f/1.2 aperture version is really launched, what will be the pricing? We believe this is the key to Sony's consideration of whether or when to launch a new lens.
