I own both the 85mm 1.8 and the 85mm 1.4 G-MASTER and trust me the cheaper one is not sharper who ever said that has no clue. Some say the new Sigma 85mm 1.4 is better than the SONY G-MASTER but I had it for one day and I doubt also that. For me the 85mmm SONY G-MASTER is the best lens I ever owned and yes the motor is loud especially in close distance but I don't have a issue with that as I'm a photographer and not a film maker!
Not that my skills could ever justify a lens like that, but your images are just stellar! Certainly technically, but mostly from a human perspective. Charming!
I REALLY enjoy your sense of HUMOR.......its one of the main reasons I subscribe to your channel. Love the content you share and your easy going attitude.
Love your images. I just bought this lens and I'm in love with it! LIKE IN TOTAL LOVE!
Your work is incredible,...and your humor is the best..Thank you!!
Is anyone experiencing a lot of focusing noise with the 85mm 1.4? I just git kind in and I’m shocked to hear how loud it is for all that money. Did I get a bad copy?
Great video Omar. Cool insight into the Sony system.
I've been a sub since the XT20 days. You got me into the XT20 and now the XT2. ... shout out to cherry tomatoes!
-Jon
Definitely on my shopping list! It’s a beautiful lens
Love the video Omar, & love using this lens...but wot's that watch you're wearing? Nice!
Loved the pictures Omar.🙂
Fabulous portrait shots Omar!
Awesome! 85 GM is ideal for environmental single full body portrait.
just one question did you use any background lights or these pictures which shown are just natural with this lens?
thanks for this beautiful video, i am a newbie on photography, may i ask since your focal 85 is fixed, how far were you standing from the object/human on this super nice lense ? thanks
Love your humour Omar , that alone is worth a subscribe 😁
What distance would you say you were from the subjects? I'm having trouble with framing with this lens.
Hi Omar. Noïce video as usual. I am really impressed by the pics with this lens 😳 👍🏻👍🏻. I just got a Zonlai 22mm because you said it was good...and you were right. This is really fun. I am getting to my point: could you test a Kamlan 50mm f/1.1 for your XT20 ? I would like to know your impressions about it. 😉 anyway... i am going to get one. Maybe i’ll show you my test about it 😉
Does Eye AF on the Sony work well with the MC-11?
I really enjoy your Fuji videos, but happy to see some A7III content.
very helpful! Made me wonder whether the Samyang / Rokinon 85 1.4 AF would also produce that magic that you talk about. It would be fantastic if you could try it out. Thanks!
Super helpful actually. Thanks.
But but, it dosnt fit on my X-T 2 :( I bought the 12mm, 56mm, 18-55mm, 10-24mm and the X-T 2 because of you and now this one but it doesnt fit
Can you adjust the settings so that when you take photos lets say in Paris with the Eiffel tower in the background so that it isn't blurred away? Or does that defeat the purpose of this style lens all together and you are better off getting this for portrait up close shots and something else to make an entire scene shot?
Great material, nice review. I wish you could compare that f1.4 GM to Samyang or ROKINON f1.4 (including samples of minimum focus distance)
Subscribed because of this very video. Our I have so much to see from your channel in this quarantine 👌🏼
Please do a comparison between this and Samyang 85mm f/1.4 FE
Hi dude, can you make a video equality test of this lens? Love your video, bro
I have it, but it is huge and heavy. Now i crave for 85mm 1.8
Lens hood on the Sony while the Canon doesn’t have it for size comparison?
Dam those photos 📸 nice work 👍
We’re these shot with a flash or natural light?
Does this lens have noisy autofocus in 2021? Can’t decide whether it’s worth it
That's awesome qhat u think about the new 50mm 1.2
So nice bokeh, smooth and cremy! I tend to buy it, but hesitate. REASON: Maybe coming soon the version 2 ? The 85mm/1.4 GM II ???? It´s already 7 years passing by since it´s (Version1) coming out!
Cracking up watching this. Gwai gwaiiii 😆
Love ur Chanel been following from xr20 now with a7 3 I’m wi#h u show us how u set up ur Sony just how u had the Fuji Love it !!!
Oh my there portraits are absolutely gorgeous. I don’t earn my money with photography and I’m not rich, but this lens will definitely be mine some day.
Cool review , Thx
Nice examples nice video as always too thanks :)
thanks!
I loooooooooooove cherry tomatoes ❤!!!...........and your channel, Omar!!!!!! 😂👍👍🙋📷!!!
Did you upgrade your firmware ? You can use eye autofocus automatically when focusing, then no need to use a button for that. Works really well.
Sure did. But I found I didn't like eye AF ready and on all the time. Turned it off and went back to the button when I need.
Love the vid! I have the 85mm 1.4 but can't seem to get a sharp image 😅 what shutter speed do you gauge as your minimum lowest? I feel like my images always have motion blur on them
I would guess this is from slow focusing, not from motion blur
Here's my dilemma : own FE 85 1.8 + EF 135 f2L .. and have a plan to buy one of 135 f1.8 or 85 1.4 just can't decide which one to upgrade : 85 1.4 + 135 f2 or 85 1.8 + 135 f1.8 ..
Kid was flexing his kicks big time!
Thanks for another great video, Omar! I always thought that Canon 85 f1.2 L is iconic and legendary and "must have" for a portrait shooter. And you're a long time canon shooter but not a word about it. You think it's not worth it? And not a single word about fuji's 56mm... in "sony video"!? where is the love? ))
Sneaker heads up in here!!
Nice job!
Great clarification of the 85 1.4! 📷 7:04 🤣
Nice review
soo... as a sony/fuji/canon pro shooter i can say one thing - this lens is great. BUT! yea the but but is here. There is something called samyang/rokinon 85 F1.4 AF FE.. and! Its 1/3 of the price of that beast, and its simply performes on very but very close lvl. In terms of sharpness and image quality. It renders a bit more warm colors but still, for this price? I suggest to have a closer look for that particular one.
What camera you used with the Sony GM 85 1.4?
Cornelius Jeffers Sony a7iii
If there’s a draft and you have some loose papers on your desk?
Draft...? This baby can stop hurricane force winds.
A little playful Sony bashing this morning... love what you do!
Omar, make sure to read this, because I can already see in many of the sample photos:
- When you go with the shutter speed of 1/4000 or 1/8000 and you use electronic front courtain shutter (efcs ON - something like that in the menu), your bokeh will be distorted and form weird circles. In specific cases it will be cut in half. All in all, the bokeh quality will hugely degrade.
To get the best out of the lens in bright sunlight, you need to switch to full mechanical shutter.
There is not much video about this topic, but Manny luckily did a video about it:. Search for: "Why you SHOULDN'T use the ELECTRONIC SHUTTER for PORTRAITS!
"
At 1/4000 it's already severe and at 1/8000 it's truly bad.
Thanks! Yes I saw that video! 😊 I only shoot in full mechanical. Football and almond bokeh balls show up at the edges of photos on most lenses. Thanks for passing this along!
efcs only works when using a mechanical shutter , there is no reason not to use the electronic shutter for portraits ( maybe less bitrate in raws,?).
The problem that you speak about only happens with a mechanical shutter and efcs activated.
But EF 85 1.8 has almost same shallow dof with 1.4. Those DSLR lenses I don't know somehow have shallower dof compared to same f and FL mirrorless lenses
F1.4 makes much better Bokeh on full body portrait than f1.8
A local photographer I know has an A7II with this lens. I'm fairly certain it's a monogamous relationship and he doesn't own another lens. It's been this way for years. All his leisure shots and paid work are executed with this lens and this lens only.
Now, the question I'm sure everyone here has on their minds: How does this compare to the 56 f/1.2?
Have you talked yourself into buying the Sony 85mm f/1.4?
get a Viltrox 85mm 1.8, now also with Fuji mount...huge bang for your buck
that thing is a tank
Lovely results, but the ballerina on her toes gave me an instantaneous cramp in my foot! How the heck do they do that? 🤯
Overtime i see you video amazes me ONE POINNNNTE Four...But its a one point TWO doooooooo......lamborginni for a day then go back for a hugoooooo...kkkkkkkkkk...i have that beauty,,,and i am not a PRO,,,bought the lens about two years ago very Happy ,,,in Two year i shot it about 50 pics IF... Thank You very much for been so cheerful .Lets GOD help Me September going Portugal Maybe,going to use it ..i have it pared with A7r2..
“And here it is next to a cherry tomato”
I got the Samyang 85mm f/1.4 FE AF and it's awesome. Lighter than the GM and a third of the price. Check it out, you might be surprised
I'm hesitating...
Hahahaha YUGO!!! Greetings from the country of origin.
Yugo, car stays lol

"GWHY! I'll Told U Why." That's what my Grandfather used to say.
