Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM II Lens

SEL85F14GM2

The FE 85mm F1.4 GM II follows the acclaimed FE 85mm F1.4 GM with equally stunning bokeh plus higher resolution at all apertures thanks to the latest lens technology. It also supports full AF speed and precision with α™-series bodies. The lens is remarkably compact and lightweight, adding agility to extraordinary image quality. A great G Master™ portrait lens for maximum creative control.

2 XA (extreme aspherical) elements achieve eye-opening resolution right out to the image edges, while 2 ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements minimise 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 (2.79ft) (AF)/0.8 m (2.63ft) (MF).

The FE 85mm F1.4 GM II carries on 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 minimise onion-ring bokeh. All of this means smooth transitions from sharp focus to deep bokeh at F1.4.

2 XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors and high-speed control give the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II AF speed that is up to 3x faster than 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 120 fps capability of the α9 III with its global shutter is fully supported. The FE 85mm F1.4 GM II offers extraordinary creative control for serious portraiture.

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% less mass for outstanding agility and matching with compact α-series bodies.

The FE 85mm F1.4 GM II is a great choice for filming people. It works perfectly with Real-time Recognition AF in α-series bodies, for fast, precise, quiet subject tracking that maintains sharp focus on moving subjects even at F1.4. Focus breathing has been minimised, 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.

2 customisable focus hold buttons and an AF/MF switch offer flexible operability, while an independent aperture ring and Linear Response MF provide intuitive control for creative shooting. The FE 85mm 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.

The Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM II Lens comes with a full Australian warranty.
