\"Sony<\/a>Testing the\u00a0Sony 85mm f 1.4 G Master lens<\/h1>\n

It’s difficult to call it a real test, but more a 2h hands on at an event I’ve attended last week in Amsterdam, where Sony held the launch event of the new Sony A6300 (see the hands on<\/a>) camera and the 3 G Master lenses.<\/p>\n

In this short article I’ll write about the Sony 85mm f 1.4, a lens I’ve waited so much, and I got a feeling\u00a0I\u00a0wasn’t\u00a0the only one. I’ve bought in the past the Batis 85mm f 1.8 but my experience<\/a> was not that good and I had it returned, so I was left again with no 85 mm prime for my portrait work.<\/p>\n

What G Master stands for<\/h2>\n

Sony produced in the past the G series lenses for the A mount camera, but also for the mirrorless systems in E mount. They’ve also collaborated with Zeiss (and this will continue in the future too) to produce the Sony Zeiss series (mostly for full frame FE mount, but also APS-C crop lenses).<\/p>\n

Sony\u00a0introduce in 2016 their flagship G Master\u2122<\/strong> brand of interchangeable lenses, for now consisting of 3 lenses and two teleconverter adapters:<\/p>\n
