Sharp and clear images.
SEL85F14GM 05 September 2020 by DWRC (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
Not had this lens for long but absolutely love it. The images are really sharp, as I expected, and the build is chunky so not too long. This balances my mirrorless camera better. I love the neat lens hood. It has a little safety catch that works well. I have lost too many on my travels.

Image quality is superb, autofocus could be better
SEL85F14GM 22 April 2020 by TSPhoto (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
Image quality is superb, but the autofocus could be better. It's fairly slow and noisy, feels a bit clunky. But for the superb image quality it's something that you may feel fine overlooking.

SEL85F14GM 08 February 2020 by Kjennifer (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
Bought this because I love portraiture and it is a great lens, not as good as I hoped for low light but I’m still getting used to it and the photos are coming out looking very professional.

Lens great - not happy with Sony
SEL85F14GM 14 September 2019 by Dave951753 (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
I'm happy with this lens - expensive - but good. Cash back is a problem. You have to wait 30 days (hoping we forget maybe?) Then type in serial number and photography serial number etc. They seem to look for any tiny reason not to pay out cashback. Bit shabby since we pay a lot to become Sony customers.

FE85mm F/1.4
SEL85F14GM 12 March 2019 by Fletcher8 (United Kingdom)
The Sony FE85mm F/1.4 is a stunning lens and is capable of producing some stunning images in relation to portraits. I love the rendering of this lens and how it feels. I hope Sony provide an update firmware to improve the speed of this lens and its low light performance. To be fair though most 85 lenses are not speed demons, but I am sure Sony could improve this lens with a future firmware update.

Creamy Bokeh and very sharp
SEL85F14GM 14 October 2018 by purephotoni (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
Having recently moved from Nikon to Sony I needed to purchase a new 85mm lens. As a wedding photographer the 85mm range is an important one for me and most of the portraits of our couples are taken using this focal length. I first purchased the Sony FE85MM f/1.8 which is also a strong performer with very quick autofocus and is razor sharp but I missed the better bokeh that I was able to get when using my previous 85mmm f/1.4. After looking in store I decided on 85mm GM Lens after comparing it to another third party lens. This lens was a little more compact than the third party option and also has the focus hold button which I really like as it I assign eye a.f to this button. Since purchase we have photographed a few weddings and engagement sessions with this lens and I have been extremely happy with the performance. It renders out of focus areas beautifully and is very sharp. The autofocus speed isn't as quick as the f/1.8 Sony but that would be the case with most 85mm lenses. For me this is the best 85mm lens available for e-mount. It's an expensive lens but well worth it.

SEL85F14GM 09 July 2018 by Sussexandy (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
After much deliberation I part exchanged all of my APS-C equipment and bought an A7-3 and this lens. The lens is magnificent, it is heavy but re-assuringly so, the quality of the images are all that I hoped for. I take many pictures in low light (dawn and dusk) and prefer to avoid external light sources, absolutely no problem for this lens. Highly recommended.

Great focal length for head to full portrait. The f1.4 aperture draws my subject out from the diffused background.

very sharp lens but with few shortcomings
SEL85F14GM 25 October 2016 by OlivierLondon (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
I am very impressed with the level of details I get from this lens and I am glad with my purchase. However it is a bulky object that defeats the purpose of my 7RII. Also it is let down by a rather slow autofocus. I thought it would be on par with the best in the business at this price but clearly it can't compete with the likes of Canon or Nikon lenses. I understand it has got a lot of glass to move but stil...

probably the best 85 available
SEL85F14GM 29 April 2016 by BAzzFreeman (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
This is probably the best portrait 85mm available right now. The resolving ower is designed far past what todays sensors are capable of which should give it a long useful life. It's a little expensive bu the cost of ownership should even out.
