This f/1.2 - f/8 series pits Sigma FE 50mm f/1.2 DG DN Art against my unrivalled reference lens*, the Voigtlander FE 50mm f/2 APO-Lanthar Aspherical ("CV50/2") on a boring but revealing scene which displays fine-detail sharpness and zone of sharp focus exceedingly well.
The Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM is not included because it looked so poor—something wrong with the right 1/3 of the frame. Not worth showing because it clearly has an issue. I am looking into whether I can get it replaced or adjusted.
