Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. linear?
A: This lens uses a Linear as opposed to Rotational focusing motor. A Linear motor moves the focusing elements in a straight line. This enables smooth, fast and silent Autofocus.
Q: 2. Does the mount on a NEX-5T?
A: Yes, it will mount to any E-mount and any full frame FE mount.
Q: 3. Is this lens compatible with the Sony FS7? I tried it with mine and it would not go into auto focus mode.
A: Hi! This lens is only compatible with E-mount cameras. -Anthony
Q: 4. will it fit my iPhone ?
A: Yes. But it requires a special adapter called a Sony A7R2 that fits onto the lens and you then connect to the A7R2 adapter with an iPhone through the Sony iOS application.
Q: 5. 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: 6. This lens is 3 years old. Is it worth investing in it or maybe Sony might come up with a newer version this or next year?
A: This lens produces a beautiful image for Sony Full Frame E-Mount Cameras. We cannot speak to what new releases will be coming down the line for lenses, but lenses are not like cameras in how they hold their value when new releases come out. This will be worth the investment for years to come.
Q: 7. its 2022, Is Sony Fe 85mm f1.4 GM still has the auto focus noise? after the update?
A: Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM has a linear Super Sonic wave Motor autofocus system and internal focus mechanism provides quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance which leads to one of the quietest autofocus system today. The lens software update was modify on May 25, 2017 to improve the tracking focus performance and blackout free shooting of up to 20 frames per second when using the ILCE-9. As far as we know there aren't no focusing noise unless the lens is defective which is also a rare case on Sony G-Master lenses.
Q: 8. Would you recommend it for video?
A: The friction noise created by the AF system may interfere with your audio. Other than that, the IQ is excellent!
Q: 9. Does this lens still have the same focusing noise issues as when it was first released or have those issues somehow been addressed?
A: Hi Charlie, after the lens firmware update the lens focusing noise will be less noticeable.
Q: 10. I'm torn between this and the 135 GM 1.8 do any of you have both? Which one will give me the most versatility? Opinions welcome
A: Hi--since these are both basically superb portrait lenses, versatility would depend on what else you want to use the lens for: the 135mm would be more versatile for shooting sports, while the 85mm would be more versatile for street photography. The 85mm is the classic portrait focal length, but 135mm is right in the portrait range.
