Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM Lens

The Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM from Sony is a fast, short-telephoto lens designed for E-mount mirrorless digital cameras. This prized focal length lens is perfect for portraits and is characterized by its flattering perspective and fast f/1.4 maximum aperture. The Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 lens excels at isolation focus for shallow depth of field effects and performs in low-light conditions. The optical design of the lens incorporates three extra-low dispersion elements to reduce chromatic aberrations and one XA (extreme aspherical) element, which significantly controls spherical aberrations for a high degree of image sharpness and clarity. The Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM lens pairs a bright f/1.4 aperture with a short-telephoto focal length, this lens is ideally suited for portraiture and other situations where focus control is priority.
Because of the Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM lens' linear SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor), it lends more responsive control for manual focus operation while being fast and quiet. The lens also sports a dust- and moisture-sealed design to support shooting in inclement conditions and a dedicated focus hold button, AF/MF switch, and manual aperture ring lend further control while shooting.

• As part of Sony's esteemed G Master series, this lens is designed to achieve notably high resolution and sharpness through the correction of a wide variety of spherical and chromatic aberrations. Additionally, these lenses feature robust and intuitive-to-handle physical designs to benefit both photography and cine applications.

• A portrait-length prime designed for full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras, this 85mm f/1.4 is also compatible with APS-C models where it will provide a 127.5mm equivalent focal length.

• Fast f/1.4 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and also offers a wealth of control over focus position when using shallow depth of field techniques.

• One XA element is incorporated into the optical design, which features superior surface precision for effective control over astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and other spherical aberrations.

• Three extra-low dispersion elements are featured in the lens design and help to reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for improved clarity and color neutrality.

• A Nano AR Coating has been applied to reduce surface reflections, flare, and ghosting for increased contrast and color rendering in strong lighting conditions.

• A linear Super Sonic wave Motor autofocus system and internal focus mechanism provides quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance and also contributes to more natural, intuitive manual focus control. An AF/MF switch is located on the lens barrel for tactile control over this setting.

• A focus hold button is present on the lens barrel for intuitive tactile control and rapid access to select settings.

• Physical aperture ring can be de-clicked for smooth, silent aperture switching to benefit video applications.

• Dust- and moisture-sealed design better permits working in inclement conditions and rubberized control rings benefit handling in colder temperatures.

• Rounded 11-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing selective focus techniques.
