Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 Review

Introduction

The Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 is a new short telephoto prime lens for Sony’s 35mm full-frame compact system cameras. It features 9 elements in 8 groups including one extra-low dispersion element to help limit color fringing and chromatic aberrations, a double linear autofocus motor, a rounded 9 blade diaphragm, and a customisable Focus Hold button. The Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM lens is available for £600 / $600 in the UK and the US, respectively.

Ease of Use

Part of the appeal of well-priced 85mm fast primes is their low weight, and at 371g, the Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 is easily the lightest 85mm lens currently available for Sony’s full-frame mirrorless cameras. The FE 85mm is also quite a compact lens given its focal range, with a 78mm diameter and 82mm length.
