Pros and cons
According to our camera lens expert
- The large aperture ensures a lot of depth of field in your photos.
- The lens is light-sensitive thanks to the f/1.4 aperture.
- With the 2 position sensors, the lens has an accurate focus.
- The lens doesn't have image stabilization to compensate vibrations.
- The lens weighs 820g, so we recommend a tripod for extended use.
Description
The Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM is a portrait lens for Sony mirrorless cameras. With the f/1.4 aperture, you can create a natural background blur. This way, the model stands out from the background. You can easily adjust the aperture with the aperture ring. Thanks to this large maximum aperture, the lens is light-sensitive. This means you can photograph in dark locations or at sunset. The lens focuses via 2 position sensors, for an accurate focus. For portrait photography, it's important that the focus is on the eyes. The lens has ED lens elements and an extremely aspheric element. Thanks to these elements, your subject is razor-sharp and the background has a soft blur.

fantastic portrait lens, not the fastest but the best quality, if you don't have to look at weight.
