Sony’s FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II lens is a significant upgrade to its popular portrait prime lens, offering faster autofocus, smoother bokeh, and advanced video-friendly features. Designed with professionals in mind, this lens enhances G Master excellence with improved edge-to-edge sharpness, color rendering, and contrast, making it ideal for both portrait and event photography.

The lens boasts a fast f/1.4 aperture that excels in low-light conditions, providing greater control over depth of field for selective focus. Its Nano AR II coating reduces reflections, flare, and ghosting, ensuring sharp contrast even in challenging lighting. The lens includes two XA (extreme aspherical) elements, delivering improved surface precision to reduce distortions like “onion ring” bokeh and control over spherical aberrations such as coma and astigmatism.

The autofocus system has been upgraded with an XD linear motor, making it faster, quieter, and more precise, especially beneficial for capturing fast-moving subjects. Additionally, the lens supports focus tracking at up to 120 fps and features an internal focusing design for faster responses.

The Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II is also video-friendly, with minimal focus breathing, smooth focus transitions, and a de-clickable aperture ring for seamless adjustments. Its design includes two programmable focus hold buttons, a focus mode switch, and is both dust- and moisture-resistant, ensuring reliability in various environments. Lightweight and compact, it remains a versatile tool for both still and video creators.
