Sony 85mm GM lens tested at Imaging Resource: “offers top-notch image quality”

The Sony GM vs Zeiss Otus

Imaging Resource tested the new 85mm GM lens and writes:

Sony claims the new FE-mount 85mm ƒ/1.4 G Master lens is the “ultimate portrait lens,” and after our testing they just might be right. While it costs a pretty penny, this is a lens aimed at professional photographers, in a similar vein to, say, Canon L-series lenses, and it offers top-notch image quality. This lens is very sharp — though watch out for some corner softness on full-frame at ƒ/1.4 — and it also shows excellent distortion and CA control. Its build quality is also fantastic, and it actually appears to be properly weather-resistant with a gasket seal around the lens mount! Though it’s quite big and heavy, it nevertheless balances well on both Sony A7-series cameras and smaller bodies like the A6300. If you’re a professional or advanced enthusiast and shoot with Sony equipment and need a true fast-aperture portrait lens for your next wedding, portrait session or editorial project, this premium 85mm G Master lens is definitely worth considering.
