Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM II

overview

Slimmed, trimmed, and newly outfitted, Sony has upgraded its most popular portrait prime with the FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II Lens, featuring faster autofocus, smoother bokeh, and video-friendly functionality. Delivering top-of-the-line G Master sharpness and bokeh quality, the lens' pleasing image quality is well-suited for stills and videos in portrait, event, and other shallow depth of field applications.
Sony continues to push the boundaries of G Master excellence with the 85mm f/1.4 GM II, improving its edge-to-edge sharpness and contrast through the correction of a wide variety of spherical and chromatic aberrations.
Fast f/1.4 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and offers a wealth of control over focus position when using shallow depth of field techniques.
A Nano AR II Coating has been applied to reduce surface reflections, flare, and ghosting for increased contrast and color rendering in strong lighting conditions.
Rounded 11-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing selective focus techniques.
Two XA elements are now incorporated into the optical design, which features superior surface precision to suppress "onion ring" bokeh and for effective control over astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and other spherical aberrations.
Two extra-low dispersion elements are featured in the lens design and help to reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for improved clarity and color neutrality.
The autofocus is controlled by an XD (extreme dynamic) linear motor that contributes to greatly improved focusing performance, compared to the DDSSM system of the predecessor, including faster, quieter, and more precise AF that's ideal for both video and stills.
Faster AF means improved focusing when working with fast-moving subjects; support is available for shooting at up to 120 fps when used with the Sony a9 III mirrorless camera.
Internal focusing design promotes snappier, more responsive focusing performance.
