Impressively sharp from edge to edge at f/1,4, No distortion, Dust and splash resistant, Physical aperture ring, Focus hold function, Very bright design
Dimmed corners at f/1,4, Omits optical stabilization, Expensive
The Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM is an absolutely phenomenal short telephoto lens, ideal for portraiture. It blurs backgrounds with aplomb and delivers exceedingly sharp results...

noticeable longitudinal chromatic aberration, too high coma, significant vignetting on full frame, work against bright light should have been better, If only the Sony FE 85 mm f/1.4 GM cost about $700$900 our summary would be very positive indeed, with ma
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 t...
Very fast f/1.4 maximum aperture provides great lowlight performance and very shallow depth of field, 11blade aperture gives smooth, beautiful Bokeh, Focus and aperture rings provide smooth and easy manual control, Onlens controls add to the ease of shoot
No builtin IS, Very hefty price tag

The Sony FE 85mm f1.4 GM delivers a clear step-up over Sony's budget FE 85mm f1.8 lens, as you'd hope for the additional price and weight: With its f1.4 focal ratio it collects 2/3 of a stop more light while being sharper across the frame and offering bet...
Optically and mechanically, the FE 85mm f/1.4 GM is certainly a very good performer and one of the best lenses we've tested to date. It is capable of delivering very sharp images at virtually any aperture setting and will focus very quickly and accurately...
Abstract: The Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM telephoto prime lens is destined to become very popular with ambitious portrait photographers. The optical design and the use of special lens elements ensure that the lens delivers the extremely high resolution demanded by modern...
