Sony strikes again with a 50mm f1.2 this time.
I'm impressed at how light and compact it is. Compared to its peers (width x length):
The Canon is quite similar in size but heavier and quite a bit more expensive.
From the gallery on dpreview, the lens is sharp wide-open with good bokeh.
With Nikon's massive PR about how a larger mount can provide better optical engineering freedom, I have to say that Sony and their "tiny" mount are doing pretty well.
All in all, I'd take Sony lenses any time over their Nikkor counterparts.
The former are smaller, lighter and optically as good (or if there is a difference, it's not significant).
And lenstip confirms the excellent image quality:

Very impressive indeed!
