The Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM is a premium short telephoto full-frame prime lens for the Sony E-mount, released by Sony on February 3, 2016.[1]

The lens is Sony's first native lens offering for the 85mm focal length. Though designed for Sony's full frame E-mount cameras, the lens can be used on Sony's APS-C E-mount camera bodies, with an equivalent full-frame field-of-view of 127.5mm.

The lens features a weather resistant plastic exterior over plastic internals with a matte black finish. It showcases recessed front lens element, focusing ring, and aperture ring. On the side of the lens is a programmable focus-hold button, Autofocus-Manual focus switch, and the red G-Master branding.

Image quality

[edit]

The lens is one of Sony's sharpest offerings for their E-mount cameras. The lens suffers from almost no vignetting, visible distortion or chromatic aberration. The Bokeh produced by the lens at its maximum aperture is smooth.
