The Sony SEL85F14GM lens renders your subject sharply with smooth background defocusing.
This 85mm f/1.4 prime lens from Sony is great for close-ups, expressive portraits, candids, and detail shots. The 85mm focal length is perfect for taking natural-looking portraits at a relaxed distance from your subject. With its large maximum aperture, this lens excels indoors and in low light. A newly designed XA (extreme aspherical) element gives this lens extra-precise detail rendering, while an 11-blade circular aperture (Sony's first ever) provides smooth, gradual background defocusing. These innovations from Sony combine to add dimensionality and texture to your photos, giving you the power to take your portraits to the next level.

Average Customer Review(s):
EXCELLENT lense. Awesome bokeh, accurate focus, magnificent color rendering, Very sharp... it's a lense every portrait photographer dream and wish for. Well constructed product.
Pros: Extremely sharp, fantastic bokeh, magnificent color rendering.
Cons: Very well constructed. But, plastic. It's price is high. And, Regards it's weight, it's a kind of heavy. Other wise, IT'S AMASING !!! ??
Pro: Sharp wide open. THE best bokeh. Focus lock. Aperture ring great for video. Excellent build quality. Fast focus. Con: Expensive, a bit of too heavy. Regarding the focus noise others have been complaining about: It is not loud at all but audible from close distance. I guess it can be recorded while shooting video in a very quiet environment using the build in mic, but with a shotgun or any off cam mic, I don't see its a problem.

Cons:
Overview: The Sony FE85mm F1.4 G Master lens is a full frame (35mm) telephoto prime lens that is ideal for portrait photography. G Master lenses feature the most advanced optical technology to achieve spectacular resolution. The SEL85F14GM has an 11-blade circular aperture, the first ever implemented in an α-series lens, to give you the smoothest bokeh (blurred background elements) possible. The FE85mm lens comes with front and rear lens caps, lens hood, and a zippered storage case with an adjustable strap.
Compatibility: The SEL85F14GM has a Sony E-mount, and is compatible with α-series Interchangeable Lens Cameras with the E-mount, and works best with cameras with full frame (35mm) image sensors:
50 Line Pairs/mm: Sony G Master lenses are manufactured to achieve a spatial frequency of 50 line pairs per millimeter at the lens' widest aperture.
Lens Elements: The SEL85F14GM has 11 lens elements in 8 groups, including three aspherical elements. A new XA (extreme aspherical) element has a surface precision that is better than 0.01-microns, and reduces aberration and delivers superior resolution throughout the entire aperture range.
Precision Focus: When working with high-resolution images and narrow depth of field, precision focus is a must. The lens' Super Sonic-wave Motor (SSM) has enough power to quickly and accurately position the large focusing elements inside the lens. The built-in multi-sensor system utilizes high-speed data processing to provide instant feedback for quick and precise auto focusing.
Lens Hood: The SEL85F14GM comes with the ALC-SH142 lens hood to protect the lens, reduce lens flare, and ensure maximum image quality. The hood attaches to the lens with a bayonet-type fit. The lens hood adds approximately 1-3/4" to the overall length of the lens.

performance good [ zhihao Feb 04, 2018 ]
I tried a manual focus 85mm & missed focus on child portraits. A manual landscape lens is one thing, I personally can't afford to miss genuine expressions. [ Michael Dec 18, 2016 ]
Extremely bright transmission T/1.5 vs. T/1.7 for some other f/1.4 options. Sharpness, focus accuracy, low aberrations, and hopefully more that I don't know about! Hopefully it will focus fast for sports, too! [ Joseph Sep 30, 2016 ]
