A couple of years ago Nikon and Leica said they will be better than Sony’s lenses because of the wider mount diameter. Today Sony proved they can make better, smaller, lighter and cheaper lenses than the competition. You can make an accurate specs comparison ar this BHphoto comparison page.


Comparison I made based on Camerasize

Compared with the Canon 50mm f/1.2 the Sony is:

  • $300 cheaper
  • 178g lighter
  • 2.8mm tighter
  • 5mm less filter size
  • 11blades instead of Canon’s 10 blades
  • it has an aperture ring
  • it’s weather resistant
  • has much faster autofocus
  • focus is silent

Compared with the Nikon 50mm f/1.2 the Sony is:

  • $100 cheaper
  • 312g lighter
  • 42mm shorter
  • 2.5mm tighter
  • 10mm less filter size
  • 11blades instead of Nikon’s 9 blades
  • it has an aperture ring
  • has much faster autofocus
  • focus is silent

The mount diameter debate is over. It was just a fictional nonsensical discussion. Let’s drop the mic :)
