BEST PORTRAIT LENS

Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM II

The 85mm focal length lens has long been considered the prime choice for portraiture, allowing for a comfortable working distance between subject and photographer and encouraging creative background effects. Faster and lighter than its predecessor, this G Master lens is ideal for both still and video use whether in the studio or on location. Its XD Linear Motor delivers fast, accurate, and quiet autofocus while its 11-bladed diaphragm, coupled with its very wide maximum aperture, delivers gorgeous bokeh effects. Video friendly as well, it provides focus tracking up to 120p as well as minimization of focus breathing when used with compatible Sony still and cine cameras.
