85mm 1.4 GM lens

The lens is a great lens the reason for the 2 star review is there is something mechanically wrong with the lens, it works for about 100 Photos then the aperture blades completely close, and I know longer can control the f stop in manual mode very frustrating.

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.

Great Lens

What's not to like - very sharp, well built medium telephoto....and the price is reasonable (for a Sony G Lens). Essential kit.

Pro lens not just for portraits

I first bought this lens because I got a discount and then I was still waiting for my camera to go with it. My A7 IV finally arrived so I could take the lens for a test drive. It is fair to say that this is the oldest in the GMaster series of Sony lenses, therefore its focus speed is not the fastest and it's quite loud (but that's compared to other Sony lenses, it's not all that noisy). The image rendition and sharpness is still excellent, not to mention its beautiful colour rendition which is typical for all the GMaster lenses. It's a great feature because if you choose to use several GMaster lenses in a photoshoot, there would hardly be any difference in colours among them. I also have to appreciate its bokeh. Yes, I admit that I'm crazy about bokeh when shooting portraits. For this reason I appreciate that the lens is f/1.4. The image is sharp even wide open, so no problem here. I also appreciate 11 aperture blades that create the creaminess of the bokeh. To summerize, I don't regret getting this lens by any means. For me it was a new impulse to enjoy the 85mm focal length once again.

Great 85

A fantastic lens, quick focusing too as I have used it for indoor sports as well as portraits. I give it 4 stars because it's not quite as sharp as the 135 1.8GM

Fabulous lens, joy to use

This lens replaced a much loved f1.4 85mm A mount that I was using with the LA-EA5 adapter on my Sony A7R4, pleased it did as this one is sooooo much better in every respect which I was doubtful of, it certainly is deserving of the G Master badge & reputation! Focusing is really fast, bokeh is delicious & even wide open images are sharp. Build feels solid & weather sealing is a must have on lenses. Aperture ring clicks in increments & internal focusing is smooth & precise. This is my absolute favourite lens & bonus, it's not too heavy as a walkaround. With the A7R4 I can switch to APSC mode giving me 127mm reach, very useful feature of the camera meaning I can use this lens as more than an 85mm prime. All in all I love this lens, it's superb.

Killer Lens

In my line of photographic work my go to lens is the 85mm, I recently changed systems over to Sony and purchased the 85mm f1.4 GM lens. This lens is so sharp with beautiful tone rendition and a fast f1.4 aperture. The Bokeh is fabulous from the 11 leaf aperture. This is a Killer lens!! totally recommend this product.

Extremely recommended!

This lense is really good for closeups, strong bokeh, far objects as for pictures as for filming. My favorite one for video shoots while music video filming. Recommended 100% I bought 2nd one for my 2nd camera in order to film on 2 cameras at the same time. Hopefully my review will help you to make best decision;)

So so...

Not as impressive as it looks. Pictures are too soft and it hunts for focus eternally in most crucial moments. I am 100% that I cannot use this for weddings. But may be a bad copy. Either way I have returned it. I am sad to have done that though, but just could not keep it. Btw Adorama Customer Service was very awesome. Thank you

Sharp and clear images.

Not had this lens for long but absolutely love it. The images are really sharp, as I expected, and the build is chunky so not too long. This balances my mirrorless camera better. I love the neat lens hood. It has a little safety catch that works well. I have lost too many on my travels.

Image quality is superb, autofocus could be better

Image quality is superb, but the autofocus could be better. It's fairly slow and noisy, feels a bit clunky. But for the superb image quality it's something that you may feel fine overlooking.

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)

Lens great - not happy with Sony

I'm happy with this lens - expensive - but good. Cash back is a problem. You have to wait 30 days (hoping we forget maybe?) Then type in serial number and photography serial number etc. They seem to look for any tiny reason not to pay out cashback. Bit shabby since we pay a lot to become Sony customers.

Absolutely beautiful depth of field!

It is a touch slower to eye focus than the 70-200 2.8 but it produces gorgeous images.

FEATURED REVIEWS

probably the best 85 available

By BAzzFreeman

This is probably the best portrait 85mm available right now. The resolving ower is designed far past what todays sensors are capable of which should give it a long useful life. It's a little expensive bu the cost of ownership should even out.

Very nice focal length

By Peter4862

Great focal length for head to full portrait. The f1.4 aperture draws my subject out from the diffused background.

Before you capture your next masterpiece, consider the Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM Lens, a high-quality, professional-grade lens designed specifically for Sony E-mount cameras. This advanced lens is perfect for creating powerful portraits and focused shots, offering both autofocus and manual focusing options.

With its wide f/1.4 aperture, this lens is capable of producing exceptionally smooth bokeh, giving your portraits that classic, professional look. The innovative 11-blade circular aperture design ensures near-circular points of defocused light, a significant improvement over the traditional hexagon-shaped points created by six-blade apertures.

The Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM Lens is equipped with ED and super ED glass, reducing dispersion and ensuring your photos are free from ghosting and flare. The innovative nano coating further enhances image quality by eliminating reflections and distortion, reducing purple fringing and other forms of chromatic aberration. This results in exceptionally clear photos that reproduce color precisely, even in challenging lighting conditions.

The ultra-quiet motor provides impressive autofocus, responding to your camera's commands almost immediately. This feature is perfect for capturing fast-paced action or maintaining focus with the handy focus hold button on the side. This lens is also ideal for movie making, thanks to its rapid responses and wide-open aperture that allows for super-fast film speeds.

The FE 85mm F1.4 GM Telephoto Prime Lens is designed as the ultimate portrait lens, striking a perfect balance between resolution and bokeh in a compact package. It features a new XA (extreme aspherical) element and three ED glass elements that work together to capture in-focus areas in extremely high resolution, while smoothly dissolving out-of-focus areas into a beautiful soft backdrop.

Externally, the lens features Sony's original Nano AR Coating, which reduces flare and ghosting, even in backlit or challenging lighting conditions. For accurate autofocusing, the lens includes a ring drive SSM motor system that provides ample power and speed to drive the lens' large, heavy focus group. It's also equipped with two position sensors to support flawless focus control.

This professional portrait lens is dust and moisture resistant and features an aperture ring with on/off switchable click stops that can be adjusted based on whether you're shooting still images or movies. It also has an AF / MF switch and a focus hold button.

In conclusion, the Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM Lens is a reliable, innovative, and advanced tool for any professional photographer or videographer.
