- Two XA (extreme aspherical) elements minimize aberrations and distortions while also providing outstanding resolution and sharpness.
- One ED (extra-low dispersion) glass element effectively eliminates chromatic aberration and color fringing to produce a high degree of clarity and color accuracy.
- Applied to specific elements, a Nano AR Coating II greatly reduces reflective light to decrease ghosting and flare for increased contrast and color accuracy in strong lighting conditions.
- Bright f/1.4 maximum aperture provides a very shallow depth of field for pleasing background blur when using selective focus techniques.
- Ideal for portraits, a circular 11-blade aperture produces deep and dreamy bokeh.
- Beyond depth of field control and pleasing bokeh, the lens's f/1.4 aperture also allows for handheld shooting in low-light conditions.
- Maximizing the advantages of the latest camera bodies, two XD Linear Motors provide quick, quiet, and precise autofocus and subject tracking performance. Designed to enhance control for both still and movies, this design also provides natural manual focus control when desired. Located on the lens barrel, an AF/MF switch enables tactile control for these settings.
- Internal focusing design offers more responsive focusing performance and maintains a consistent overall lens length during operation.
- Minimum autofocusing distance of 16" allows for dynamic close-up images.
- New for Sony primes, an iris lock switch prevents the aperture ring from being accidentally moved. This switch can also be unlocked allowing the aperture ring to rotate seamlessly and silently.
- Benefitting video applications, an easy-to-read aperture ring with f-stop engraving
can be quickly de-clicked on the lens barrel for smooth and silent aperture control.
- Two focus hold buttons are featured on the lens barrel for intuitive control and rapid access to select settings.
- Tactile in its design, a Linear Response manual focus ring provides fine linear focus control.
- Despite its wide f/1.4 maximum aperture, complex optical design, and inclusion of a high-performance AF system, this lens still manages to be compact and lightweight for everyday use, measuring 3.1 x 3.7" and weighing just 18 oz.
- Meant for use in challenging conditions, this lens features dust and moisture-resistant construction. All seams are sealed, buttons and switches have silicone rubber gaskets, and a rubber ring seals the lens mount.
- Fluorine coating on the front element repels water, oil, fingerprints, and contaminates while also making the lens easy to clean.

Q: 7. Is the manual focus linear for repeatable focus pulls, or is it focus by wire?
A: Sony FE 50mm f/1.4 GM Lens (Sony E) has a linear response manual focus control. It ensures that the focus ring responds directly and repeatably to subtle control when focusing manually.
Q: 8. Looking to switch from canon 5d3 set up with primes to Sony. I love my 85 1.2 clearly. Does this lens compare on a A7RII? I don't own any native e mount lenses yet so I feel like I haven't given the Sony a fair shot yet. Just canon lenses with adapter rings.
A: In my opinion, native lenses are the way to go except for exotic (noctilux etc). Most manufacturers rely on software correction in camera that only work with their lenses. As for the SONY primes, I really like than all. In fact the 35 2.8 is insanely sharp (and portable). As for the 85 1.4 it is an amazing lens. The bokeh is silky and smooth. Focus is fast.
Q: 9. What is the best equivalent to SONY APS-C format?
A: Because Sony APS-C sensor cameras have a 1.5X crop factor, the Sony FE 50mm f/1.4 GM Lens would have a focal range of 75mm lens with an angle of view of 32°.
Q: 10. This vs Zeiss Otis? Why?
A: I have both the Sony FE 1.4/85 mm GM and the Zeiss Otus 1.4/85 mm ZF.2. I enjoy both lenses. I bought the Zeiss Otus long before Sony offered the FE 1.4/85 mm. I wanted a top 85 mm lens for my Sony a7R and Sony a7Rii. Data on the Zeiss Otus 1.4/85 mm ranked the Zeiss Otus 85 mm the best. Ordinarily I can compose a shot using manual focus so lack of AF is not an issue for me. Sony's focus magnification, focus peaking, and in-body stabilization make manual focus a snap. In fact, I shoot NBA games from my seat with a manual focus Zeiss APO Sonnar 2.0/135 mm ZF.2 and produce great images. I pack my Sony FE 1.4/85 mm rather than the Zeiss Otus 1.4/85 mm if I have to travel light (with only one lens) and when I plan to ask other people to shoot me using my camera. I appreciate that experience and practice are required to manually focus the Sony a7Rii with its focus magnification and focus peaking and I don't expect anyone to pick up that skill when they borrow my camera and take photos of me. I travel to compete in powerlifting championships and I've moved away from hiring a local photographer to recruiting someone from Team U.S.A. to step up and spend time shooting me while I compete. I acknowledge that Sony's AF on its 1.4/85 mm GM is nice. I especially like the focus-lock button on the GM since it allows me to grab focus and recompose without losing focus. This works great in sports applications. Incidentally, the results from my Sony a7Rii and Otus lenses or the Sony FE GM lens have spoiled me so much that I'm dissatisfied with someone offers to use lesser equipment to photograph me. I like a nice JPG, especially from a championship. If you can afford it, buy both lenses. From my perspective, if its worth capturing an image, then use a great camera and lens for the work.
