1. Samyang 14mm F2.8 Full Frame
This Samyang 14mm f2.8 Lens is for Full Frame Sony E-Mount Cameras and
Weather-Sealed Designed from the ground up specifically for Sony E mount
Full Frame cameras, the 14mm F2.8 AF Full Frame Ultra-Wide for Sony E
offers a bright F2.8 aperture, uncompromised optical performance, and a
rounded seven-blade aperture for pleasing bokeh and star effects.
Its AF design takes advantage of its minimized weight and movement of the focusing lens group for accurate, fast, and quiet operation. A total of 14
elements in 10 groups along with UMC anti-reflective coatings are utilized to maximize image quality.
Additional features include a durable all-metal housing with an
ergonomically designed grip with manual override and a built-in lens hood.
Full compatibility with Sony APS-C cameras is maintained where it will provide an equivalent focal length of 21mm. The only bad thing about this the lens is you can't really add a filter on this lens in front of the lens.
Some of the special features of this lens :
-
Ultra Multi-Coating
-
Low Chromatic Aberration/Distortion
-
Robust Aluminum Alloy Construction
-
Integrated Lens Hood
-
Rounded 7-blade diaphragm
-

2. Sony 24mm F1.4 Full Frame
The 24mm F1.4 GM features an advanced optical design, including two XA
(Extreme Aspherical) elements and three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass
elements that delivering outstanding corner-to-corner resolution, even
at a wide F1.4 aperture. An 11-blade circular aperture mechanism creates
beautiful bokeh that is a hallmark of the G Master series. Fast-focusing
has attained through the DDSSM (Direct Drive SSM) focus drive system.
This lens sports class-leading size and weight, providing great handling
and mobility.
There is also a Sony 20mm F1.8 G Lens which is much wider and
less expensive as well if you want to save some and you don't really
need F1.4 Aperature. This lens is also much compact and lighter than its
big brothers 24mm F1.4 and the sharpness and image quality is decent as
well it's up to your needs.
Some of the special features of this lens :
- F1.4 max aperture
- Compact, lightweight design
- Two XA (Extreme Aspherical) lens element
- 11-blade circular aperture for gorgeous bokeh
- Direct Drive SSM (DDSSM) for fast, quiet focusing
- Manual aperture ring w/ selectable on/off click
3. Sigma 35mm F1.2 Art DG DN Lens for Sony E
Ths is the First wide-angle AF lens with F1.2 maximum aperture for the
full-frame Sony E-mount and L-Mount system. This lens enables the
creation of artwork with astounding resolution and large bokeh effects,
such as portraits that make use of a shallow depth of field. It brings
the development concept of the Art line “pursuit of ultimate image
quality” to the next level. While utilizing optical correction function
inside the camera, aberrations that are difficult to post-process are
thoroughly corrected thanks to the optical design and it thereby
enhances resolution.
The Sigma 35mm F1.2 is such a great lens but if you don't really care
about that F stops so much Sony has their own native lens on their lens
selection list which is Sony 35mm F1.8 which is really compact
unlike the giant and massive lens, It also cost very less compared to
the Sigma lens and It has much better focus especially in low light
because it's a Sony native lens. If you didn't really need F1.2 and
travel a lot you should consider this lens over the Sigma lens.
4. Sony 55mm F1.8 Sonnar
The perfection and the sharpness that this lens has is truly
remarkable. According to the DXO mark list, this is one of the top 10
sharpest lenses in the market currently. One of the best parts about
the lens is its lack of weight. Combined with my Sony A7III on a
gimbal this produces amazing videos. And it's even better for
portraits.
Renowned Carl Zeiss contrast and resolution brings out the best in α7
series full-frame E-mount bodies. The T* coating works with an
innovative optical design to suppress internal reflections, for
sublime contrast from highlights to deep blacks. In keeping with the
Sonnar concept, a large F1.8 maximum aperture can produce beautiful
full-frame background bokeh, but you also have the option of stopping
down for extended depth-of-field. A bright lens like this is also an
advantage when shooting indoors or outdoors in low light.
5. Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM Lens
This 85mm F1.4 portrait lens renders infocus areas with unequaled
resolution while the background dissolves into the smoothest,
lushest bokeh imaginable. All of this is by design, supported by
manufacturing and testing technology that only Sony can provide, for
new dimensions of photographic and cinematographic expression.
It has a constant F1.4 max aperture maintains exposure and depth of
field regardless of the focal range you choose to zoom to. When
changing your aperture to defocus the background, the areas out of
the focal plane appear blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred
background can be enhanced with circular aperture blades used in
this lens.
This lens is the first 11-blade circular aperture ever implemented
in an α lens, and exacting spherical aberration adjustment for each
individual lens. The result is enchantingly soft-edged bokeh that is
a hallmark of the Sony G Master series.
There is also a Sigma 85mm f1.4 if you want to save some
money which has the same image quality and decent autofocus system.
Or you don't really need an F1.4 aperture then you can go for
Sony 85mm F1.8 which is much lighter and autofocus is much
better compared to the F1.4 lenses also less expensive.
6. Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS Lens
This is the only Micro lens on the Sony Native Lens List. It is a
medium telephoto macro E-mount lens that features built-in image
stabilization for sharp, clear images at up to 1:1 magnification,
even when shooting handheld. Advanced optics and coatings with a
9-blade circular aperture deliver exceptionally smooth bokeh that G
Lenses are renowned for.
It has Sharp in-focus rendering is achieved with a floating focus
mechanism that suppresses aberration equally at all focusing
distances, whether the subject is far away or extremely close. Other
advanced technologies, such as the Nano AR Coating and Super ED
(extra-low dispersion) glass, elevate overall performance to an
extremely high standard.
It has a Focus range limiter which allows you to set a limit on the
focusing range which can save you time during AF operation as the
lens will not ‘hunt’ through the entire focusing range. In macro
lenses, this limit can be on either the near or far range.
7. Sigma 105mm f/1.4 Standard Fixed Prime Lens
Since introducing its first SIGMA Global Vision F1.4 lens in 2012,
the 35mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art, SIGMA has been adding wide-aperture F1.4
options to the lineup. Now, with the introduction of the new
105mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art, SIGMA offers a total of nine lenses
with F1.4 brightness, including six for full-frame cameras and three
for APS-C cameras. SIGMA has designed all of these lenses to offer
minimal optical aberration and deliver incredible resolution and
stunning contrast.
Boasting the longest focal length of the F1.4 Art line lenses, the
new lens combines outstanding resolution with a beautiful bokeh
effect. Designed with great care to ensure that both the in-focus
and out-of-focus areas of the photograph are equally satisfying to
the eye, this lens is truly a “bokeh master.” The SIGMA 105mm F1.4
DG HSM | Art has earned its place as the flagship of the F1.4 Art
line lenses, prioritizing image quality above all to fulfill the
promise of the line, delivering truly amazing optical performance.
7. Sony 135mm F1.8 G Master Prime Lens for Sony
This thing is truly amazing. the hype about the autofocus speed is all true; never would I have expected a lens in this focal range and of this aperture to be the fastest focusing lens I've ever used. Granted, I'm no well-versed pro, just a hobbyist with expensive taste, but damn it's good. The rumors about sharpness and image quality are all true as well, as I've been hard-pressed to see even a hint of CA in any photo or a change in sharpness throughout the aperture range. overall it renders a great image and undoubtedly earns its GM badge.
for comparison, I personally own the 70-200 2.8 GM as well, and
although it's definitely no slouch, its autofocus is a bit loud
and the sharpness is honestly a little sub-par at the long end of
the zoom range. I've heard previous gripes from other owners,
apparently, the QC on that lens isn't very good as some people get
perfect copies.
I've also seen complaints about other GM or Zeiss branded lenses,
mainly the 85 1.4 and the 35 1.4 respectively, and I think since the
days of those lenses Sony has really gotten their priorities
straight. so far everyone has had nothing but praise for both this
lens and the 24mm 1.4 GM, and I'm hopeful that Sony will keep it up,
hopefully releasing version twos for the lenses that weren't so GM
as they should have been.
