The Ultimate Portrait Prime, Upgraded
Sony's FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II Lens, an upgraded version of its popular portrait prime, now offers faster autofocus, smoother bokeh, and enhanced video capabilities. It delivers G Master sharpness and bokeh, ideal for portraits, events, and shallow depth of field shots.
Improved Optics with Smoother Bokeh
The 85mm f/1.4 GM II enhances edge-to-edge sharpness and contrast by correcting various spherical and chromatic aberrations. The fast f/1.4 aperture allows for shallow depth of field control in low light. Nano AR II Coating reduces reflections, flare, and ghosting for better contrast and color. A rounded 11-blade diaphragm provides pleasing bokeh. Two XA elements reduce "onion ring" bokeh and correct spherical aberrations, while two extra-low dispersion elements minimize chromatic aberrations for clarity and color neutrality.
Faster and More Accurate Autofocus
An XD linear motor delivers significantly faster, quieter, and more precise autofocus than its predecessor's DDSSM system, suitable for both video and stills. The lens supports shooting at up to 120 fps with the Sony a9 III and features internal focusing for snappier performance.
Improved Control and Video Capabilities
The lens is updated for video shooters with precise focus tracking at up to 120p, minimal focus breathing, and support for the Breathing Compensation function. Linear Response MF ensures intuitive manual focus, and the aperture ring can be de-clicked for smooth, silent aperture changes.
Compact, Lightweight, and Robust Design
Approximately 20% lighter and 13% smaller than its predecessor, the 85mm f/1.4 GM II is durable and versatile. It features two programmable focus hold buttons, a focus mode switch, and a hybrid construction of metal and plastic for durability and low weight. The dust- and moisture-resistant design includes rubber gaskets and a fluorine-coated front element for easier cleaning and use in harsh conditions.
