Those with f1.2 lenses can compare the look f1.2 v f2 and decide if it matters.
It matters, it matters a lot.

Is this your first 1.2 lens?
50mm GM
I'm gonna have to learn to stay very still when shooting it.
The depth of field is insane.
Handles well though it's pretty heavy. I wear a neck strap and needed to cradle the camera in my hands while walking.
Just some grabs, all wide open and with a K&F variable ND filter to stop the shutter maxing out at 1/8000

It matters, it matters a lot.
I'm looking for a couple of extra batteries for my Sony a9 and a7iii but they seem to be out of stock everywhere?
Any ideas on where I can get them from quickly please? Ideally for next Friday.
If not, are there any other reliable third party batteries?
Also looking for a charger to charge at least two at a time, any recommendations?
No Raymond. I had the 56 f1.2 when i shot Fuji
The only modern f1.2 I have is the 40mm Voigtlander and with that I decided f1.2 to f2 usually doesn't matter to me, the bokeh differences between f1.x and smaller only really kick in for me approaching f2.8, but that's just me.
On FF I mean, 1.2 on Fuji gives a DOF at about the same as F1.8?

I’ve got one of these
Hahnel ProCube II - Sony | Wex Photo Video
Charge two batteries at the same time with the Hahnel ProCube II Twin Charger.www.wexphotovideo.com
Have found 3rd party batteries to be very hit and miss for Sony, they aren't for me as they can't be relied on.
W.E.X always have them in stock if you have one of their stores near you.
I have tried quite a few different chargers to be honest I have never found one I was happy with. The Cube chargers Trevor mentioned are very slow compared to the oem chargers, these aren't too bad. https://www.amazon.co.uk/LCD-Display-Dual-Channel-Battery-Charger-NP-FZ100/dp/B07BL1WMGN/ Unlike a lot of the third party chargers they charge direct from the mains rather than usb although they can do that as well and are quicker. To be honest charging direct to the camera is the quickest option especially via USB C on the A7III.
In saying that we shot an engagement session yesterday evening and my missus only used the 55 f/1.8 and her photos are crazy good.
I am actually raging she got such good stuff.
Thanks for the advice!
I would like buy Sony original batteries, I have never bought third party, but I have not found them anywhere in stock, not even WEX have them
I will be shooting a two day trail run event and need a few batteries to keep me going all day.
The reason for the multi charger is that I have to charge 4 batteries, after finishing work in the evening and have them all 4 ready for early next morning. I could charge on camera 2 of them and the other two on the multi charger?
It's a massive difference, and AF is HUGE. I buy a lens for a focal length that I think it's the best lens for the job. It's not like this 50mm for photos of tree and that 50mm for photos of the cat. One 50mm will be all shots in that 50mm focal length.
Even if I take Photography 100% as a hobby, I don't think I would collect a bunch of them. I would get the one with the widest aperture I can (or can justify) and stop down to 2.0 if I want to.
And then there is the AF motor, or lack of. That aren't for me.
Cheers.Weird they don't have them in-store my local has a metric ton of them and always does.
There is also a company called Andoer that does a charger that can charge 4 at a time.
Raymond. Calm down. I'm not having a pop at anything or anyone and everything I post is my own opinion.
I like having a modern AF lens and a modern MF one too. You don't. I understand.
Genuine question, can you see a real difference in DOF etc between f1.2 and f1.4 FF lenses or do people just buy f1.2 for the light gathering?
Thanks. Would you say that's more down to the aperture or more down to lens design? Canon have a lot of lovely rendering lensesI can tell, but the client probably can’t. I shot the Canon 85/1.2 for years, the GM 1.4 just doesn’t have the same look.
This would be more self serving bokeh whore gear acquisition than anything else.

Have you tried that one?
I have one of those, so nearly a good device, having to change plates and needing the pin device really annoyed me.
I ended up getting one of these from US Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/ISDT-Batteries-Cyber-Shot-DSC-RX100-DSC-RX100M/dp/B07K1VJD85/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1ZQFMFFT49LKI&dchild=1&keywords=isdt+sony+charger&qid=1623520742&sprefix=isdt+sony,aps,230&sr=8-3
Great device, arrived in a week and I've been really happy so far
I didn't suggest you buy the f2 instead of the f1.2. I just suggested that 50mm fans should take a look at the f2. And having two modern 50mm-ish lenses is hardly a collection.I am calm…
I understand why you have a collection of lenses but I don’t think you understand why we buy 1.2, when you suggest we buy a 2.0. That comment is proof that you don’t understand, I’m afraid.
Like I won’t ever say to you “sell it all and get a 1.2”, because what’s not why you buy lenses. I know that, but do you know why we buy the 1.2?
The only way to see the differences and decide if they matter is to shoot multiple pictures at different distances stepping through the aperture range from f1.2 to say f2.8. As I suggested above. Trying different lenses introduces too many potential differences. I've tried this with my f1.2 and f1.8 lenses and decided I don't care about it until nearing f2.8 but for others it is clearly something they care about.Genuine question, can you see a real difference in DOF etc between f1.2 and f1.4 FF lenses or do people just buy f1.2 for the light gathering?

If someone could shoot aperture sequences for the 50mm f1.2 that'd be lovely.
I have tried getting one of those twice from China but orders were cancelled because of no stock. They don’t seem to be available any more.
Does it have a battery refresh mode I remember reading a review that mentioned it about a year or so ago but never seen it mentioned any where else.

I had a lovely time today at Blair Drummond with my Sony 35mm 1.4 but I do find myself often unnecessarily shooting at 1.4 just because the lens can do it rather than actually selecting the best aperture, if that makes any sense?
I got a bit of video going and had a quick look just there and I wish it had OSS. Let's see what Davinci's stabilisation tool can do to help but that aside even in video it's a lovely lens. Definitely getting a separate mic for on top though.
Lol.The difference stands out a mile for me.
Nobody else seems to notice.
Been showing my missus sample photos etc and she says they are the same.
