Overview

The Sony SEL85F14GM is a full-frame prime lens designed for E-mount cameras, tailored to deliver outstanding portrait photography. Its 85mm focal length offers a flattering perspective that helps isolate subjects with natural background blur. The wide f/1.4 aperture allows ample light for shooting in low-light conditions and provides precise depth-of-field control to emphasize your subject effectively.

The Nano AR coating reduces flare and ghosting, ensuring clear and contrast-rich photos even in challenging lighting. Its 11-blade rounded diaphragm contributes to smooth and attractive bokeh, enhancing portrait aesthetics.

Built with a dust and moisture-resistant design, the lens is reliable for outdoor use. Autofocus is driven by Sony’s Linear SSM motor, delivering fast, quiet, and accurate focusing suitable for both stills and video. Weighing 820 grams and featuring a 77mm filter thread, it balances solid build quality with practical handling. This lens suits portrait photographers, wedding shooters, and professionals seeking sharp images with natural background separation in studio or location settings.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
