Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM Lens

The Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM Lens represents another step forward in photographic technology. This G Master 35mm full-frame, telephoto prime lens is a great choice for professional portrait photographers who require the best optical performance possible. The most advanced technology available has been applied in the G Master series, further enhancing acclaimed Sony G Lens performance. This model combines refined G Lens bokeh with new levels of resolution in a truly outstanding portrait lens that can fully utilize the performance potential of current and future high-resolution camera bodies.

Constant f/1.4 Aperture

Outstanding resolution even at the maximum F1.4 aperture renders the subject with impressive dimensionality. Then gradual, gorgeous bokeh dissolves the background into an artistic backdrop with natural coloration and highlights. This rare combination, due in part to new XA element technology, opens up new vistas of visual expression.

Advanced Nano Anti-Reflective Coating

The SEL85F14GM features Sony’s Nano Anti-Reflective coating that reduces the amount of light that’s reflected by the lens and helps reduce lens flare and image ghosting. By reducing the amount of reflected light, this coating improves clarity, contrast, and overall image quality as well.

Extraordinary Resolution and Bokeh

Outstanding resolution even at the maximum F1.4 aperture renders the subject with impressive dimensionality. Then gradual, gorgeous bokeh dissolves the background into an artistic backdrop with natural coloration and highlights. This rare combination, due in part to new XA element technology, opens up new vistas of visual expression.

Natural Images with no Spurious Color

Chromatic aberration can degrade resolution as well as bokeh quality. Three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements make a significant contribution to this lens’s outstanding optical performance, keeping axial chromatic aberration in check while maximizing both clarity and the natural look and color of its breathtaking bokeh.

Sublime 2-Sensor Autofocus Accuracy

In addition to the usual rotation sensor, a second sensor detects focus lens group position. This dual sensor system achieves the extremely high level of focus precision that is necessary to make the most of the high-resolution potential of advanced camera bodies. RDSSM (Ring Drive Super Sonic wave Motor) drive provides the required power and speed.

Outstanding Clarity and Contrast

Advanced Nano Coating technology produces a lens coating with a precisely defined regular nano-structure that effectively suppresses reflections that can cause flare and ghosting, for notable improvements in clarity, contrast, and overall image quality.

11 Blades for Luscious Bokeh

Sony’s circular aperture design usually employs up to 9 blades. This is the first α lens to incorporate 11 blades in a circular aperture design, taking bokeh quality to new levels of smooth beauty with natural looking highlights.

Versatile Fingertip Focus Control

The ability to respond quickly to rapidly changing shooting situations can mean the difference between getting the shot or not. A manual/autofocus mode switch and focus hold button are positioned for easy access, providing versatile, professional control for a wide range of subjects and environments.

Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM Lens)

Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM Lens SKU: SEL85F14GM

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not just a faster 85! Having shot the 85 1.8 for 6 years, I pulled the trigger on the new 1.4 gem. The slightly faster 1.4 aperture doesn’t tell the whole story. Better build quality, moisture resistant, more responsive AF, sharper, and exquisite tonal fidelity. Especially coupled with the newer Sony bodies (I shoot the A7RV and A7CR) the responsiveness is fantastic.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This Lens is incredibly sharp the glass color Amaz I recently changed brands. I am extremely happy with this lens and camera combination. The sharpness wide open at F1.4 the color smoothness and rendition is world class and frankly exceeds other brands.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great Lens for Portraits and Beauty shots for video! I bought this lens because it has an amazing look to it! Yes, there are other options out there, but with the new line of sony cameras (A1, A9ii, A7SIII, FX3, FX6) the autofocus is fast and very reliable.

Can't breath to nail the focus 4. Very noisy 5.weather sealing is not guaranteed to be protected from the dust 6. Too much chromatic and colore fringing 7.very heavy 8. Expensive compared to the compatitors 9. Not the sharpest of the class

Rated 1 out of 5 by from GMaster Lens has a focusing noise issue The lens has focusing lens noise problem that I have never heard before. Sony needs to step up and resolve this problem. On the internet there are countless people complaining about this issue. This is not a cheap lens. (Never had problems like this with NIKON)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Magic Lens I call this the magic lens. That's all i have to say.
Date published: 2020-01-15
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely beautiful depth of field! It is a touch slower to eye focus than the 70-200 2.8 but it produces gorgeous images.
Date published: 2019-04-02
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Insane Image Quality! Unfortunately the majority of my camera gear was recently stolen :( However, while I had this lens it was fantastic. The separation you can achieve at F1.4 is simply stunning! It really does make ordinary pictures look phenomenal. One day ill buy another copy of this incredible lens.
