A large, expensive and high-aperture portrait lens from the top line of G-Master optics, designed to work in tandem with Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras. The model focuses on the highest frame detail, razor sharpness starting from an open aperture (f/1.4) and fabulous bokeh. Moreover, the lens quickly focuses and tenaciously holds the target with a “death grip” of the ultrasonic autofocus drive.

During the focusing process, the elements of the optical circuit (11 pieces in 9 groups) move inside the Sony SEL85F14GM 85mm F1.4 GM body, due to which it does not change in size and does not “draw” dust into the structure. A unique feature of the model is the focus lock button, which is convenient to use in continuous focusing mode. Also on the lens housing is an aperture switching ring (with pronounced clicks between positions). In addition, the lens can boast dust and moisture protection, resistance to all kinds of aberrations and color distortions, regardless of the selected aperture value.

Portrait legend

The Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM is one of the leading portrait lenses in the G Master range, designed for photography and videography professionals. This lens is ideal for use with Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras, including high-end models such as the Sony A7r IV.

Outstanding Features

The model provides excellent image sharpness and detail even at the maximum open aperture. It also features soft bokeh and excellent low-light performance thanks to its f/1.4 aperture.

Versatility and durability

The lens is built in a durable housing with dust and moisture protection. It features a continuously variable aperture ring, which is especially useful for video shooting, and a soft button for adjusting focus. Ultrasonic SSM drive ensures fast and accurate focusing.

Perfect bokeh

Three ED glass elements and one XA lens in the optical design help achieve high image quality with excellent background blur. An 11-blade diaphragm helps create stunning bokeh without irregularities.

High price

The Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM is deservedly considered one of the best portrait lenses for the Sony FE system, but its cost is significantly higher compared to the base Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 model. This is an investment for those who are looking for maximum image quality and are willing to pay for professional level optics.
