Samyang 50mm F1.2 AS UMC CS

This is a APS-C prime lens for Sony E, covering 50 mm (75 mm equivalent on APS-C; 100 mm equivalent on Micro Four Thirds) and a maximum aperture of f/1.2. It weighs 375 g, and was released in 2017. That combination suits portrait and low-light photography.

It is a manual focus standard prime lens designed for APS-C and Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. With a bright f/1.2 maximum aperture, it excels in low-light conditions and provides excellent depth-of-field control, making it ideal for portrait photography. The optical design includes aspherical elements to minimize aberrations and deliver sharp, high-contrast images. Ultra Multi-Coating (UMC) is applied to reduce flare and ghosting, enhancing color fidelity and contrast. The lens features a compact and lightweight design, making it a versatile choice for everyday photography.
