- Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II Lens
What type of photography is the Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II Lens best suited for?
While it excels in portrait photography, its enhanced optical performance and focus speed make it suitable for various applications, including sports and filmmaking.
How does the new XD Linear motor improve focus performance?
The XD Linear motor provides faster and more precise focus, enabling quick adjustments for dynamic scenes and smooth transitions for video work.
Is the lens compatible with full-frame and APS-C cameras?
Yes, the Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II Lens is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras, but it can also be used on APS-C models, providing an equivalent focal length of approximately 127.5mm.
What is the significance of the fluorine coating on the lens?
The fluorine coating helps repel dust, water, and fingerprints, making it easier to clean and maintain the lens in various shooting conditions.
Can I use this lens for video recording?
Absolutely, the lens features smooth and silent focus control, making it an excellent choice for videography.
What are the benefits of the aperture lock feature?
The aperture lock feature prevents accidental changes to the aperture setting, ensuring consistent exposure during shooting.
How does the lens handle colour fringing in high-contrast situations?
The improved optical design significantly reduces colour fringing, allowing for cleaner images even in challenging lighting conditions.
The original Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II Lens is one of the best-regarded portrait lenses in the market today. In making a version 2 lens worthy of the name, we had to reconsider the role of an 85mm lens, and look outside the traditional portrait role for new ways to push performance. The resulting lens is a true all-rounder, offering improvements on every level; core optical performance is enhanced to satisfy portrait photographers. The lens has been made smaller and lighter, a quality that any content creator will appreciate. The new focus motor transforms this lens from a steady performer into a true sports shooter for close range capture, and also makes the lens a great choice for movies with smooth, silent focus control

Exceptional Bokeh
A new and improved optical design strongly reduces colour fringing in both the foreground and background, allowing photographers to capture challenging, contrasty subjects without the fear that out-of-focus highlights will turn into green and-magenta distractions. The combination of refined design and advanced Extreme Aspheric lens elements serve to strongly suppress these difficult to-address aberrations.
Exceptional Focus Speed
The 85mm f/1.4 GM II benefits from a massive leap in focus motor technology, moving from the powerful but aging ring drive SSM motor to the latest XD Linear motor. This technology shift enables the lens to be used for the most demanding and dynamic applications, from fast sports action at 120fps on the Alpha 9 III to smooth focus transitions on-set with the FX6.
Compact, Durable, Reliable
Like all GM lenses, the new 85mm f/1.4 GM II is fully dust and weather sealed. With a 15% reduced volume and 20% reduced weight, the lens is now more portable than ever, and with new quality of life features like Aperture lock and dual focus hold buttons, the lens will find a happy home in any professional’s kit
