Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM II Lens

Next-level G Master performance: even sharper with gorgeous bokeh
Two XA (extreme aspherical) elements achieve superb resolution right to the image edges, while two ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements minimize chromatic aberration. Eyes and expressions can be captured with stunning clarity regardless of framing. Sony’s Nano AR Coating II suppresses flare and ghosting in just about any lighting. Minimum focus distance is 0.85 m (2.79 ft) (AF)/0.8 m (2.63 ft) (MF).

Stunning G Master bokeh with smoother transitions
The FE 85 mm F1.4 GM II continues the acclaimed performance of the previous model with a new optical design that controls chromatic aberration for more natural bokeh. An 11-blade circular aperture provides further enhancement, while precisely controlled spherical aberration works with XA (extreme aspherical) elements to minimize onion-ring bokeh. All of this means smooth transitions from sharp focus to deep bokeh at F1.4.

The full AF speed and precision of advanced α-series bodies realized
Two XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors and high-speed control give the FE 85 mm F1.4 GM II AF speeds up to 3x faster than the previous model. Moving subject tracking is improved by as much as 7x, allowing reliable capture even when using extremely narrow depth of field at F1.4. The 120fps capability of the α9 III with its global shutter is fully supported. The FE 85 mm F1.4 GM II offers extraordinary creative control for serious portraiture.

20% less mass with no image quality compromise
XA (extreme aspherical) elements, refined optics, XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors and a compact circular aperture unit pack superb large-aperture performance into a barrel that measures just 84.7 (3-3/8 inch) x 107.3 mm (4-1/4 inch) and weighs only 642 g (22.7 oz.). That’s about 13% less volume and 20%6 less mass for outstanding agility and matching with compact α-series bodies.

An ideal 85 mm F1.4 lens for filmmaking
The FE 85 mm F1.4 GM II is great for filming people. It works perfectly with Real-time Recognition AF in α-series bodies, for fast, precise and quiet subject tracking that maintains sharp focus on moving subjects even at F1.4. Focus breathing has been minimized and body breathing compensation is supported. The aperture ring can be switched to click-less operation and Linear Response MF allows smooth manual focus control.

Top-class control and reliability for professional applications
Two customizable focus hold buttons and an AF/MF switch offer flexible operability, while an independent aperture ring and Linear Response MF give intuitive control for creative shooting. The FE 85 mm F1.4 GM II accepts 77 mm threaded filters. A dust and moisture resistant design ensures reliability in challenging outdoor conditions, while a fluorine coating on the front element effectively repels contaminants.
