Sony FE 85mm F1.4 G Master Lens is In-Stock & Shipping NOW! This is the sharpest 85mm AF lens EVER! Nearly matching the optical performance of the $4,500 Zeiss Otus, it adds AF not found on Zeiss Otus.
It offers a flattering perspective for portratits and fast f/1.4 maximum aperture perfect for shallow depth of field and shooting in low-light. Its optical design incorporates three extra-low dispersion elements to reduce chromatic aberrations and one XA (extreme aspherical) element, which significantly controls spherical aberrations for a high degree of image sharpness and clarity.
Nano AR coating has been applied to limit ghosting and lens flare for increased contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions. Pairing a bright f/1.4 aperture with a short-telephoto focal length, this 85mm lens is perfect for portraiture and other situations where focus control is paramount.
Its 11-blade circular diaphragm produces smooth, soft-edged Bokeh with selective focus imagery. For controlling focus, a linear SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) is employed that is quick and quiet, and also lends more responsive control for manual focus operation. The lens also sports a dust- and moisture-sealed design to support shooting in inclement conditions and a dedicated focus hold button, AF/MF switch, and manual aperture ring lend further focus control.
