Pergear has introduced a new 50mm f/1.2 manual-focus lens designed for APS-C mirrorless cameras, expanding its lineup of budget-oriented optics. The lens is available for Fujifilm X, Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF, and Micro Four Thirds mounts, and is offered in black or silver finishes. On APS-C bodies, it provides an angle of view equivalent to roughly 75mm, placing it in the short-telephoto range commonly used for portraits and detail-oriented photography.

The lens adopts a deliberately retro aesthetic inspired by manual lenses from the early 1980s, particularly Nikon’s AI-S 50mm f/1.2. This influence is evident in the all-metal construction, engraved markings, and classic typography used on the barrel. The Chinese company has also applied phosphorescent paint to the distance and aperture scales, allowing them to glow in low-light conditions. All controls are fully mechanical, with no electronic contacts for autofocus, aperture control, or EXIF data transmission.

Optically, the 50mm f/1.2 uses a relatively simple design of seven elements in five groups. An 11-blade rounded aperture diaphragm is intended to produce smooth out-of-focus rendering, especially when shooting wide open. The maximum aperture of f/1.2 allows for shallow depth of field and improved low-light capability, though precise focusing is left entirely to the user due to the manual-only design. The minimum focusing distance is 0.7 meters, which is typical for lenses in this category.

The aperture ring can be operated without clicks, enabling continuous exposure changes that may be useful for video recording. The lens weighs approximately 360 grams and measures about 61mm in length, keeping it relatively compact for a fast prime. Pergear does not clearly specify the front filter size, though it appears to be either 52mm or 55mm depending on the mount.
