(SR3) Sony 85/1.4 G to be annound in September/October?

Share

A source claimed to have seen an early prototype of the Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 lens. It was not labeled as Zeiss. This means he is not sure yet the lens will get the Zeiss or Sony “G” badge on it. The lens has been designed to have an extremely nice bokeh.

The lens is scheduled to hit the market in September/October.

Jimmy:Wanted to share a lens test I did with the Sony Zeiss 55mm f1.8 (mated to the Sony A7). I was shooting straight into the sun during golden hour and wanted to test the detail, clarity and bokeh in extreme conditions. I go through 30 images in Lightroom and the results are stunning!  : https://youtu.be/kYZB375Z14M

Robbert:Last week I got my new DJI Ronin M and shot a Brazilian Zouk dance party with it and my A7s + Sony/Zeiss 24-70 f/4. Left the OOS in the lens on to correct for small shakes and used autofocus all the time which did surprisingly well in the poorly lit environment. Shot everything with 50 frames/sec in S-Log2. This might be a nice video to feature on the site. The link: https://vimeo.com/130699038
