NEW YORK, NY—(Marketwired – February 12, 2017) – Telephoto lenses and fast, portable lighting are staples of wedding and portrait photographers, which is why Sony has chosen WPPI 2017 to release the FE 100mm f/2.8 STF GM OSS and FE 85mm f/1.8 lenses for full–frame E–mount cameras, as well as a new radio–equipped HVL–F45RM Flash. These new telephoto options start to fill in some desired areas of Sony's still relatively new full–frame lens lineup and bring some technology from its A–mount system to the E mount. Additionally, it begins Sony's expansion of its radio flash system, which started with the introduction of the Wireless Radio Commander and Receiver released last year.

Adding to Sony's already well–received G Master lens series is the FE 100mm f/2.8 STF GM OSS, which incorporates an apodization optic to help create exceptionally smooth, rounded bokeh while maintaining tack–sharp focus on the subject. This newly designed element nearly eliminates peripheral highlight distortion from vignetting and works with the 11–blade circular aperture to produce pleasing out–of–focus areas. However, a side effect of the element is a reduction in light transmission, rated here as T5.6 when set to the lens's maximum f/2.8 aperture. Another benefit of this lens is a 1:4 magnification ratio along with a minimum focus distance of 1.9'; a ring switch is present to choose between standard shooting and close–up distances.
Another very welcomed addition to the FE lens line is the FE 85mm f/1.8, which joins the FE 28mm f/2 and FE 50mm f/1.8 in creating a more affordable and accessible system while still providing excellent optical performance. It uses an ED element to reduce aberrations, as well as a nine–blade circular aperture for smooth bokeh. Also, it features a double linear motor system for fast, quiet autofocus. The lens is designed for manual focus, as well, and it has a programmable focus hold button.
