A new dimension in portraits

The G Master series features the most advanced technology to further enhance the renowned performance of Sony G lenses. This model combines the elaborate bokeh effect of G lenses with new levels of resolution in a truly impressive portrait lens, able to take full advantage of the performance potential of today's and tomorrow's high-resolution camera bodies.

Extraordinary resolution and bokeh effect

Exceptional resolution (even with a maximum aperture of F1.4) gives an impressive dimension to the subject. The magnificent gradual bokeh effect creates an artistic backdrop with natural colors and highlights. This unique combination, due in part to the new XA element technology, opens up new fields of visual expression.

Natural images without unwanted reflections

Chromatic aberration can affect resolution and the quality of the bokeh effect. Three ED (extra-low dispersion) glass lenses make a major contribution to this lens' exceptional optical performance: they control axial chromatic aberration while maximizing the natural clarity, look and color of that incredible bokeh effect.

Exceptional accuracy of dual-sensor autofocusing

In addition to the usual rotation sensor, a second sensor detects the position of the focusing system. This two-sensor system delivers the very high level of focusing precision needed to take full advantage of the high-resolution potential of advanced camera bodies. The SSM (Supersonic Wave Motor) drive system provides the necessary power and speed.

11 blades for a sumptuous bokeh effect

Sony's circular aperture uses up to 9 blades. This is the first α lens to incorporate 11 blades in a circular aperture, for a magnificent bokeh effect of unrivalled quality with natural highlights.

Remarkable clarity and contrast

Advanced Nano anti-reflective coating technology produces a lens coating with a specific nano-structure that effectively suppresses reflections and "ghosting" effects, for a remarkable improvement in clarity, contrast and overall image quality.

Locking and releasing the sun visor

A sunshade locking mechanism prevents it from coming loose when you're on the move, while a release button makes it easy to remove and replace.

Versatile fingertip focus control

The ability to respond promptly to rapidly changing shooting situations can make the difference between getting the shot or not. An easy-access auto/manual focus selector and focus-lock button provide versatile, professional control for a wide range of subjects and environments.

Easy click deactivation for movies

While photographers generally prefer the tactile feel of clicks on the aperture ring, filmmakers prefer a smooth, quiet, click-free opening. Photographers and filmmakers can easily activate or deactivate the clicks on the lens aperture ring.

High reliability under the most extreme conditions

In addition to the usual protection measures against dust and humidity, a seal has been added between the body and lens for greater protection and reliability in harsh environments. Rain or shine, shoot with confidence.

Lens configuration

The G Master lens range takes imagery and expression to new heights, thanks to a stunning blend of incredible high resolution and soft background bokeh.
