Sony 85mm f1.4 GM - The Portrait King | In-Depth Review

Critically acclaimed as one of the sharpest lenses on a Sony Alpha camera system, the Sony 85mm f1.4 GM has been one of my three go-to lenses for the past 2 years of both personal work and professional work. Undoubtablely a workhorse of a lens, if you're looking for consistent professional results for portrait work, look no farther.

What do you think GM *really* stands for? 🤔

[Asiaflyers]

It's a wonderful len for portrait. I owe it for over 2 years and I am happy with the performance. If you are a pixels peeper and you want the the best buttery bokeh, this is a must have len. The only issue is weight, it will be a concern if you are travelling and need to bring multiple Sony lens with you.

This is the only 85GM review that doesn't mention the focus noise of this lens.

Great review for my fav prime. I've owned this 85 mm and the 85 mm F1.8 and as much as I hate to admit it the AF on the 1.8 is just much faster and crisper, especially shot into direct light / low contrast situations, where the GM will tend to hunt over and over to find focus the F1.8 will not. But otherwise I agree with your points made. Cheers for a great video

[theyirum]

wow. THIS IS THE type of video just like a... best friend trying to tell me everything he knows! Thank you Mr. Zhou!

[dopamining]

By the half way point I gave up - this is an infomercial.

[robertbreish]

Excellent review David! Great quality vcontent also!

[aportraitontech]

Thank you, for the critical pro/con review of the 85...appreciate it!

Hey David.If you want a very good Sony Lense to get closer, test out the Sony FE 135mm 1.8 GM.It is so amazing and get close to 70 cm.Its my new favorite lens.And the autofocus is much faster then the 85mm GM.

Nicely well done video. Subbed, liked and silly question: "one of the three lenses" you carry no matter where. What are the other two?


Thanks

Just found you
Great review
But the 85mm Sony GM is a bit Old
& Much slower compared to my 135mm with dual linear XD servos
And my NEWER 24mm GM f/1.4

Keep up the good work
Regards, Rick

T Y for the advise, i learn something over the years, you buy once and you buy for life, do not believe in djunk, its like getting a mercedes or a have the 85 gm1.4 for close to a year now or maybe more, , , took about 500 pics, lets not talk about the noise, , , but works like a charm, very very satisfied with, also the A7Rll was little at the time 2018 but its going to stay with me until dies hope going to last as long as MINOLTA 9000 that i steal have for close to 40 years, with all the beauty lenses AF from Minolta that was the reason i bought SONY A7Rll, My friends use it Professionally or not get the BEST always, ,,,DAVID i subscribed to your chanel, i feel like i am in church lol, in the good sense of humor, keep it up good advise always, Thank You .

[andrewsytek]

Sickk review!! Do a recommendation on a all-around zoom lens!

[chris-lloyd]

Thanks for the review! How do you find the photo autofocus in low light? And is it as noisy/loud focusing as I’ve read about? 🤙

[codyrobinson]

Do you prefer 85 or new Sony 135mm for portrait?

[toushiri]

without you reading the first comment I wouldn't have noticed
good job
as you prepare the rocket and suddenly it shoots to the sky
don't get discouraged and you will see the magic happens
