REVIEW: Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM Review

The Sony G Master range is described as a “supreme blend of high resolution and beautiful bokeh” and in the case of this Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM goes on to claim “outstanding sharpness dissolving to magnificent bokeh” and “the ultimate portrait lens” - clearly bold claims and definitely desirable...

Sony FE 85mm f1.4 GM review

Sony's FE 85mm f1.4 GM is a high-end prime lens for its mirrorless cameras. The short telephoto focal length and bright f1.4 focal ratio make it ideal for portraits and the de-clickable aperture ring also makes it great for video work.

Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM SEL85F14GM

Representing a new level in Sony's mirrorless lens family, the Sony 85mm ƒ/1.4 GM is a top-notch portrait prime. Sony claims the new FE-mount 85mm ƒ/1.4 G Master lens is the "ultimate portrait lens," and after our testing they just might be right.

Sony FE 85 mm f/1.4 GM

If only the Sony FE 85 mm f/1.4 GM cost about $700-$900 our summary would be very positive indeed, with many oohing and aahing over its performance. Unfortunately you have to pay as much as $1800 for the tested lens, the same amount of money as you have to spend for the Zeiss Milvus 1.4/85 which is...

Cons:
  • noticeable longitudinal chromatic aberration,, too high coma,, significant vignetting on full frame,, work against bright light should have been better.

Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM SEL85F14GM

I had really high hopes for this, since Sony marketing claimed this was probably one of the best lenses ever made. Thing is: it isn't. Sharpness is good in the center, but wide open it just lacks the last bit of sharpness one would expect. Same goes for Bokeh. It's nice. Really nice to be honest.
Pros:
  • good sharpness
  • nice bokeh
Cons:
  • big
  • expansive
  • slow focus
  • unusable in video
  • marketing

Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM Lens - Brand New review

The Sony FE 24mm F/1.4 GM isn't what we'd call the perfect glass. We had to fix some issues of purple fringing and vignetting in post. Granted, they were very minimal and practically invisible to the untrained eye.
