Hire Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM

Our thoughts

'This is the crème-de-la-crème of portrait lenses for Sony users who shoot stills and video. Its sharpness across the frame, stunning bokeh at wide apertures and pro-grade build quality place it above Sony’s cheaper FE 85mm F1.8 lens. Sony has thought of everything. It has a de-clickable manual aperture ring that allows silent aperture control from the lens when shooting video and a focus lock button on the barrel that can be customised to different functions. It’s relatively compact for an f/1.4 prime and being a G-Master lens it has extensive weather seals throughout. Fast portrait lenses are loved by many and they don’t come much better than the FE 85mm F1.4 GM.'
