We rate the Sony 50mm f/1.2 as one of the best Sony lenses ever made and, much like its f/1.4 sibling, it could the only lens you ever need, especially if portrait photography is your thing. The buzz surrounding Sigma's recent March 26 event teaser comes as no surprise then, given that it’s expected the lens maker will announce a rival 50mm for pros that could be much more affordable.
According to Sony Alpha Rumors, the new 50mm lens will also have an extremely large f/1.2 aperture – perfect for bright portraits with an extremely shallow depth of field – and will come in both Sony E-Mount and L-Mount (for Sigma and Panasonic full-frame mirrorless cameras); there's no mention of a Nikon Z-Mount version.
