The Definitive Portrait Prime

Renowned as the ideal focal length for portraiture, the Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM is a fast short-telephoto prime lens that excels in delivering a flattering field of view, exceptional optics, and the ability to create a shallow depth of field for subject isolation. As part of Sony’s prestigious G Master series, this lens guarantees outstanding sharpness and bokeh quality, making it an excellent choice for portraits, events, and any situation where precise focus control is crucial.

Fast and Refined Design

As a member of the esteemed G Master series, this lens is meticulously designed to achieve unparalleled resolution and sharpness by effectively correcting various spherical and chromatic aberrations.
The fast f/1.4 maximum aperture allows for confident shooting in challenging lighting conditions and offers extensive control over focus position when utilizing shallow depth of field techniques.
The application of Nano AR Coating reduces surface reflections, flare, and ghosting, resulting in enhanced contrast and color rendering, particularly in strong lighting situations.
With its rounded 11-blade diaphragm, the lens produces a captivating bokeh quality that enhances the aesthetic appeal when employing selective focus techniques.

The optical design incorporates one XA (extreme aspherical) element, known for its superior surface precision, enabling effective control over aberrations such as astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and spherical aberrations.
Three extra-low dispersion elements are also integrated into the lens design to minimize chromatic aberrations and color fringing, resulting in improved clarity and color accuracy.

Practical and Intuitive Handling

The linear Super Sonic wave Motor (SSM) autofocus system combined with the internal focus mechanism ensures swift, quiet, and precise autofocus performance, while also facilitating natural and intuitive manual focus control.
An AF/MF switch on the lens barrel provides tactile control over the autofocus or manual focus mode selection.
The focus hold button on the lens barrel offers intuitive tactile control and quick access to selected settings, enhancing shooting flexibility.
The physical aperture ring can be de-clicked, enabling smooth and silent aperture adjustments, particularly beneficial for video applications.
The lens features a dust- and moisture-sealed design, enabling reliable performance in challenging weather conditions, and the rubberized control rings enhance handling, even in colder temperatures.
