The bokeh produced by the FE 85mm f/1.4 GM is extraordinary. Even then, the numbers are so good that there’s no need to worry about detail loss. There’s a sharp drop in resolution from f/11 to f/16 on account of diffraction. More impressive are the corners, which keep up with the center throughout the lens’s aperture range. Its resolution is already spectacular at f/1.4, reaching even greater heights only to peak at f/2.8. The FE 85mm f/1.4 GM is among the sharpest lenses we’ve ever tested. It’s clicky by default, but you can disable this for video shooting. There’s also a narrow ring that manually adjusts the aperture in thirds of an F-stop. Photographers who prefer focusing manually will find the ring a delight to use since it’s knurled, responsive, and allows for a great deal of precision. The AF is keen and reliable but isn’t quicker than those seen on similar lenses from other manufacturers. A second dedicated sensor is there to speed up its performance. Sony installed a Super Sonic wave Motor to drive the FE 85mm f/1.4 GM’s autofocus. We were surprised by the lens’s relatively basic glass configuration as only eleven elements in eight groups are needed. The barrel is made from strong polycarbonate, and several seals prevent the ingress of moisture or dust. It might make your a6600 front-heavy but will balance nicely on an a7 model. The FE 85mm f/1.4 GM is on par with similarly-specced DSLR lenses regarding weight and size.
It’s not cheap, but the lens’s excellence far exceeds its price.
Do you need a portrait prime with impeccable optics that’s capable of rendering wickedly sharp images for gigantic billboards? Then feast your eyes on the FE 85mm f/1.4 GM! It’s a lens renowned for corner-to-corner image fidelity and some of the best bokeh you can expect from a conventional lens.
